Chapter 389: Battle of Patience - Part 3

"Hmph."

Rasmus smirked.

’That guy only has a few minutes before the poison kills him. Now I only have to deal with that bitch.’

He thought.

At that moment, he took out another stream career and turned it on and was about to send it flying, but out of nowhere, it suddenly turned dark around him.

As if the sun had suddenly set.

But it was only a shadow.

He looked above him. There was something hovering in the air. It was a magic circle that was directly above his location.

"Oh... sh—!"

In that moment, the magic circle glowed, and it fired a dark beam towards him. It was the essence of Xiao Yue’s magic power.

Without a doubt, if this attack landed, there would be nothing left of Rasmus except a pile of ashes.

Rasmus backflipped and narrowly evaded the dark beam.

The dark beam smashed against the spot where he was just standing and created a hole in the ground.

Swoosh~! Swoosh~! Swoosh~!

Countless magic circles appeared in the sky. They were smaller than the previous one. They all started glowing.

In that moment.

They all started shooting dark beams!

"Damn!"

Rasmus ran down the forest and zig-zagged, as if he were running an obstacle course, and the dark beams fell all around him.

BOOM~!

At that moment, a dark beam landed right in front of him, causing an explosion that sent him flying backwards!

Rasmus quickly flipped himself over and landed on the ground, but as soon as he landed, a shadow fell over him.

He looked towards the sky and saw a winged Demon Queen flying in the air—she was Xiao Yue.

"I sentence you to death."

Xiao Yue said coldly, and then from her hands, dark magic poured out like bullets, hurling through the air.

"TCH!"

Rasmus clicked his tongue in annoyance and started running through the forest like an animal being chased.

He was moving fast. With Godspeed activated. Yet, he couldn’t outrun the Demon Queen that was chasing him.

The wings flapped hard as Demon Queen Xiao Yue soared through the air like a vulture—she kept firing dark magic bullets.

The dark magic bullets speared through the trees and the ground—destroying everything in sight.

"Huh?"

Xiao Yue looked ahead and saw where Rasmus was running to—he was running to his gang hideout!

’In the end, he will go to their help?’

She frowned.

It wasn’t like Rasmus, as he liked to do everything by himself, so she was shocked to see him go running for help.

"Rasmus, you disappoint me!"

She screamed.

"Hmph!"

Rasmus jumped high over the village walls and landed in the middle of the village, and all the bandits looked at him with surprise.

"Boss Rasmus is back!"

Tian ran out of the building and looked at Rasmus and then saw Xiao Yue flying high in the air.

A dark expression appeared on his face.

"Rasmus, what have you done? Didn’t I tell you to let it be? Now we’re all so royally fucked!"

He screamed.

"SILENCE!"

Rasmus growled, and that silenced everybody, as it sounded like the scream came from the depths of hell.

"Who the hell do you think you are to order me around? Why are you talking like I am your underling? I am Rasmus Seider!"

Rasmus screamed, and at that moment, he started transforming, with a crimson-red robe appearing on his body.

A wizard hat of crimson-red color also appeared on his head, and his yellow hair also turned into the color of blood.

’Rasmus’ Blood Wizard legacy transformation.’

Xiao Yue narrowed her eyes.

"All of you are nothing but... blood!"

Rasmus shouted, and then he spread his arms around, and blood tendrils burst out from his back like the tentacles of a demon.

"R-Rasmus... stop..."

Tian paled and turned his heel around to run away, but in that moment, the blood tendrils shot forward.

The blood tendrils stabbed through Tian’s back. Every bandit was stabbed. They squirmed like fish out of water.

"Blood Drain!"

Rasmus screamed.

Tian and the bandits were sucked out of all of their blood. They looked like dried-up raisins. It was a horrifying sight.

"Ah... ahh... ahh..."

Rasmus looked euphoric—almost like he was on drugs—but for him it was even better than any drug.

’This is bad.’

Xiao Yue thought.

She knew the drain of Rasmus’ Blood Drain ability, as he could steal the power of those he drained blood from.

Temporarily.

However.

During that time, he was a monster.

Ding~! Ding~!

In that moment, Xiao Yue received a message. It came from Fang Raon. It just said, "I am poisoned..."

She glanced at the window and then immediately turned around and started flying away from Rasmus.

"..."

Rasmus watched her leave, but he didn’t care, and instead, he turned around and started walking in a completely different direction.

The direction of the city.

...

"Huff... huff... huff..."

Fang Raon panted heavily. His flesh had turned purple. The poison had already paralyzed him, and he could feel his strength fading fast.

His health was dropping drastically.

[HP: 111/1050]

’It can’t end... like this...’

He thought.

Thump~! Out of nowhere, a figure landed next to him—he just hoped it wasn’t Rasmus—but then he was barely able to move his head.

He saw Xiao Yue.

"Here!"

She took out a bottle of antidote, put it to his lips, and helped him to drink it—the purple color quickly started to leave his flesh.

"Ah... That’s better... Thank you..."

Fang Raon grabbed a healing potion and drank it.

"Whew..."

Xiao Yue let out a sigh of relief. She was happy that she was able to find him in time. If she were slightly too late, he would be dead by now.

"Did you kill Rasmus?"

Fang Raon slowly climbed back to his feet and asked.

"No. He is currently a being beyond our level. It’s risky to go against him when he has done Blood Drain."

Xiao Yue said.

’Blood Drain?’

Fang Raon wasn’t sure about what it was, but he knew that Yue knew him better, so he just nodded.

"It doesn’t look like he chased after me. You can now head straight for the tower. I’ll meet you on the 19th floor."

Xiao Yue said.

[LadyBelle: Um... You might want to know where Rasmus is heading. I found his stream. He is still streaming]

"Huh?"

Fang Raon looked at her message.
