Chapter 182 The Battlefield (4), Alvine Vs The Fifth G.
“What is it?!! Why do they die all at once when they were healing?” The fourth divine beast, which was a five-headed Hydra, each of which possessed elementary affinities and an additional affinity that varied from one head to another, asked confusedly with his first head that mastered the law of healing his other colleagues. He was the eighth general among the ten generals of the king of beasts.
As you will have already understood, the Centaur is the ninth of the ten.
“Shit, poor idiots is because they are killed by someone who is endowed with agility beyond your perception. But I can see it. Take care of other insects; I'll exterminate this thing.” The tiger roars toward others with this order as he tried to locate the location of the humanoid silhouette that kept appearing and disappearing several times in the same second!
He knew he could not equalize it in speed, so catching up with it was just an unachievable dream for him; hence his excessive frustration at his impotence to save his subordinates against this thing that only needed a thousandth of a second to kill ten beast emperors!
But suddenly, he, who was focused on Luna to inflict a fatal attack on her, was suddenly alerted by a vicious attack that ruthlessly targeted his neck!
-CLANG!
He instinctively put in place a magic shield to block the tip of the sword that was intended to slice his neck at once.
His surprise was of a staggering level when he realized that the person who had just attacked him was a young man with short white hair and golden pupils who were endowed with precision and frightening sword handling! But what made him furious and unworthy was to be attacked by a holy rank; even worse, he even felt threatened by creating a divine shield around her! How could a general like him have a face afterward if he does not wash this humiliation with the blood and pulpit of this insect?
“Unacceptable.” He roars forgetting his goal from the beginning, which was to save his subordinates. All his hatred, indignation, and frustration that were buried deep in his heart are now channeled into his golden aura that exploded like a hydrogen bomb making the surrounding air tense and messy!
Seeing this scene, Alvine resumed his usual expression. It was the first time he measured himself at a divine level without external help, he knew that he did not yet have the level to shoot down a divine mage but, a divine beast was normally weaker than a divine magus. Not to mention that the black tiger was a low-ranking divine beast. He was sure that he would manage to hold out in front of his opponent for at least ten minutes. But the only thing he could not guarantee was his victory.
‘Well, the plan continues to go as planned.’ He said to Himself by walking slowly toward the giant tiger with an impassive smile.
“Now, to both of us, ball of the fur.” He said, pointing his sword at the tiger.
“Ball of..? Indeed, even if I kill you in the greatest turmoil, my anger will never calm down.” He roars towards the sky while it responds to his roar by thumping him down with scarlet lightning. But contrary to Alvine’s expectations, instead of the tiger suffering damage, he was now stronger than ever while being wrapped in a mantle of scarlet lightning! Rein that with a simple glance, Alvine could say with certainty that the power and speed of this beast are at a higher level.
Between his excitement at rubbing against an opponent stronger than him, and the emergence of his murderous desires that he had hidden deep in his soul; a salacious smile appeared on his lips and ignited his reasoning by burning him ashes from that moment. ‘This pressure, this feeling of facing an opponent stronger than himself, this vital vibration that ignites in me; hehe, for me to be in such a state, it must really be said that it has been a long time since I had fought an opponent worthy of interest with my whole being. I’m going to get rusty by hiding behind my shadow soldiers.’ He said while his milky white sword began to ignite with the flames of the Gehennes which are of destructive darkness!
At the moment, he didn’t care if Kimiko was reduced to ashes by his flames, it was just one detail among many for him; all insignificant.
“My lord, I’ve finished the cleaning.” Luna knelt behind him.
“Hmm, in this case, help Darka and Greed take care of the Hydra. This hairball is my enemy.” He said without turning his eyes away from the beast who was still in his preparations.
“B-But my lord, this hairball is currently a danger to you. You have not yet regained your power as formerly, if you want it to no longer exist in this world, let me take care of it as I had always done; I am your shadow, I only exist in your shadow to exterminate all things that are unpleasant to look at by your eyes.” She surprised Alvine with these words who was forced to turn his head to look her straight in the eye.
After a second of exchanges of looks that meant a lot to them, Alvine had a thin smile on the corners of his lips. “Well, your intelligence seems superior to that of Darka. This is good news for me. After this battle, I will have a little discussion with you. But for now, if you know that Darka and Greed will not need your help to take care of the Hydra, stay waiting and observe the fight. As an assassin, you must learn new tricks that will serve as a reference for you in the future.” He said, intelligently refusing Luna’s proposal.
Now that the black tiger had finished his preparations, he had not only created a lightning domain but also long claws and protective armor using only his lightning affinity!
His eyes, which were yellow, turned lightning red.
-Bzzz!! Bzzzz!!!
‘He’s coming!’ As soon as Alvine spoke these words to himself, the giant tiger defied the laws of the world with his gigantic waist, which zoomed towards Alvine in an instant, with his mouth wide open that perfectly exposed his fangs to amputate Alvine’s head in the only attack!
Alvine did not lose his calm when he saw the incredulous speed of the giant tiger. His feet, which were firmly embedded on the ground, allowed Alvine to lean the entire upper body backward to the point of reaching a level where his head would touch the ground; while he looked in slow motion, the giant body flying over his abdomen facing the sky!
As soon as the tiger landed on the ground, his lightning claws swept towards Alvine’s feet, which he thought his prey always had his head down. But Alvine was a bit faster than him in terms of dismaying speed! Not to mention that Alvine not only relied on his speed but also anticipated the movements and attacks of his enemies. Even if his strategy was dangerous, his enemy will only be able to pierce him if he pretends to leave feints to fool Alvine.
Another claw-crackled lightning whistled the air towards Alvine who once again leaned his body at an angle arched to the left to narrowly avoid blows on the tiger once again!
Annoyed to see this mortal playing with his ego, his body triggered an explosion of lightning that pushed Alvine, who had hastily activated his magic shield, a hundred steps back.
‘Ugh! His power is phenomenal! Even with a magic shield, I feel the power of his wrath. I am visibly inferior to him!’ He said to himself looking at his bloody hand that healed at sight.
‘If I attack it with my sword that is covered with these flames, it will be as if I were relying on shortcuts. Even if it’s stupid for me to abandon such a weapon, I know that I won’t have a real experience by fighting with these kinds of privileges.’ He said, leaving his sword in his shadow.
“It’s not for underestimating you but, I don’t want the fight to end instantly. What if we started a second round?” He said by revealing a spear of blood created with his blood that he had just lost!
The giant tiger sniffed with indignation when he heard these words from a holy mage. A lightning spear whistled at Alvine from his lightning defense with lightning-worthy speed!
But Alvine hit only the tip of the lightning spear with his blood spear to break it into several pieces. He himself was surprised to realize that his weapon was harder than before. But he suddenly remembered the notifications from his system when he had accepted the marriage contract with the queen of vampires; [Your blood skills are evolved]. ‘So that’s what the system referred to, this control is not only limited to handling, but even the hardness of my blood weapons is part of them too! It’s good to know.’ He concludes slowly.
But this time, instead of waiting for the tiger, he flew directly from a low altitude towards him with his bloody spear pointed at him. The tiger who had just seen his attack destroyed by the mysterious spear had no longer underestimated him!
-Roarr!!
Following its roar, a tiger clone but only made up of lightning came out of its body and sprinted like a hungry beast towards its prey.
‘Shit!’ Alvine did not have time to avoid the sudden attack of the tiger because of the short distance that had meticulously calmed the enemy and the surprise effect!
-Boom!!
His body and the lightning tiger impacted each other with a dull noise without causing fog, because of the new characteristic of the terrain; which was the crystallization between the fusion of magma and water.𝐎𝗏𝒍xt.𝔠𝑜𝔪
*Kuuh!! * huff…
His body, clothes, and especially his hair have now become erect with slight crackling as if he were a scientist who had just exploded his laboratory. But strangely apart from a few superficial burns, his body had not suffered significant damage. He looked at the tiger with questioning eyes as if he were asking for him (why did you hold back?!). But seeing the tiger’s astonished eyes, Alvine guessed that he did not expect his attack to be so insignificant.
‘Perhaps it because of the divine punishments that forced my constitution to have a natural resistance against the lightning element?’ He wondered with these words.
But soon, he got the answer by seeing dozens of clones of tigers booing toward him. He got his answer because he had done something crazier than he had ever imagined doing even against an opponent weaker than him. But against an opponent who distanced him from two major kingdoms.
He spread his arms and let the fifteen lightning tigers bite him voluntarily. Even if their jaws did not contain a monstrous support force like that of the tiger, they could still paralyze a divine rank for a short time. But a dozen tigers will even be able to lose consciousness or kill a divine magus! But Alvine who was not even an emperor mage was more affected by the attack of the first tiger than the attack brought together by these fifteen tigers at the same time.
“It seems that your Thunders is not as powerful as those of divine punishments.” He says by styling his hair with an impassive expression.
Even if the risk was great, the gain was worth it.
“Will you be able to resist my thunders?” He asked in a heavy voice pointing the blade of his spear towards the fifth, at the same time, a purple pearl formed on the tip of his spear! He channeled the gravitational pressure between the pearl of his spear and the pearl that was pushing the spear and then suddenly released the gravitational pressure.
-BANG!!
Not surprisingly, his magic based on the conviction that forged spells with his mind was much better than incantations or complex formulas that are all in the languages of the gods.
The pearl hit, not surprisingly, the tiger, and a frightening discharge traveled all the lengths of his spine forcing him to leave a dying cry that once again left Alvine in confusion. Is this divine beast so weak?! Or was it he who had become strong?
But he did not rely on the second hypothesis. Because the reason why he manages to get out against the tiger is only because of his resistance to lightning affinity; otherwise he would be in a pitiful state at the moment if the tiger had attacked him with fire or wind or with another affinity that was not lightning.
-ROARR!!
“This is unacceptable!” Narak’s victory, status, orders, his own cultivation, nothing mattered to the tiger; at the moment. All he wanted was to reduce the arrogant insect that was playing with him to ashes!
Suddenly, an army of tigers came out of nowhere, as before, they were made up of wrath. But Alvine suddenly felt the danger when he saw the hundreds of tigers lock her in a lightning circle. Each tiger was connected to the sky by lightning meshes by locking Alvine in a cage like a bird with the tiger.
It was the domain of tiger lightning! His goal was not to defeat Alvine with his own powers, but he wanted to borrow the power of nature to explode his domain with Alvine!
According to what he had seen during their battles, he had no chance of defeating this abnormal enemy who is not only a holy mage surpassing him in speed but also had more control over the affinity of lightning than him! And to make matters worse, he had a high-level resistance against lightning.
Alvine was simply her natural enemy.
His lightning, which was still scarlet red, suddenly began to turn into milky white that Alvine could identify this nature among a thousand!
“This roar, the heavens really considers me as an enemy to be shot down,” he says, preparing for the impact. But at that very moment, a light breeze caressed his hair and even before he wondered what just happened, a black dagger was embedded in the heart of the giant Tiger who lay on the ground while dead as if it were as easy as killing a chicken!
Not surprisingly, Luna removed her dagger inside the tiger’s torso. Alvine frowned when she saw Luna’s actions.
“Was it necessary?” He asked without losing his cold blood to see someone else steal his prey. Indeed, He will not suffer a loss if he is one of his shadow soldiers!
She knelt before him and answers her lord’s question. “A thousand excuses, my lord. But it was not a divine punishment but an explosion of the domain he was about to trigger! You were not going to survive this. Your constitution is too weak at the moment.”
