Chapter 323 Evan Vs Lensa V
‘She has taken sixty out already?
it’d be bad if she destroys too much of them, let’s make things easier for a moment.’
He reduced the speeds of the swords, making it so she could outrun them easier, only for her to suddenly kick off the ground and jump into the air, flapping her wings with all her might as she shot towards the airborne hero.
All the aura in her spread feet reconcentrated in her right arm which she pulled back as she neared Evan.
The young boy’s eyes widened as he jumped off his foothold to another, dodging her punch in the process.
He repeated this set of actions while tossing energy swords at her which she all happened to dodge with relative ease, while stretching out her hand to cast a basic magic spell.
‘Why isn’t he teleporting? Can’t he do that anymore? Or is that what he wants me to think?’
Wirth those thoughts in her mind, she resumed her chase of the young her who dropped to the ground while being chased by over a hundred energy sword constructs.
They moved towards the areas having more debris on the ground, with Evan picking up a few pieces of rock and throwing them at her after coating them in aura.
She eventually got close enough to deal a direct blow, but Evan blinked out of the way, clicking his tongue the moment he reappeared and sending multiple aura slashes towards her.
However, as he turned around to use this skill, his legs ended up colliding with a large almost knee height piece of rock that was lying on the ground.
Although Evan’s legs were strong and durable enough to get through unscathed, he temporarily lost his balance, an opportunity that Lensa took advantage of immediately.
She broke through her top speed limits, with her agility stat actually reaching B+ at this moment as she blitzed through the air with her fist encased in demonic energy.
Without hesitation, she punched towards Evan’s head, intending to end the boy in one blow while silently hoping that her worst fear didn’t come to pass.
Unfortunately for her, this gamble didn’t turn out in her favour.
Midway through her punch, Evan’s body disappeared from in front of her and reappeared at her back, with all the energy-constructed swords breaking down into pure energy which then joined the storm of aura swirling around Evan’s blade.
The young hero unhesitantly activated his unique skill as he thrust his sword forward, putting an end to this battle that had been dragged on far too long.
“Vortex.”
**KAAABOOOOMMM!!!!
“GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!”
Whether it was a coincidence or not, Lensa screamed exactly how Xakon did, as the domineering force of the destruction aura-infused vortex slammed into her body, shredded her wings and penetrated her skin, before going on to wreak havoc to her bones.
◇ ◇ ◇
The high demon Pride, looked at her brother who was drawing demonic runes on his new clothes and a certain blonde battle priestess who was juggling a ball of pure life energy with an indescribable expression on her face.
She alternated her gaze between the two of them and the wreckage of the town that was not too far off from where they were seated and sighed before speaking.
“I was barely gone for up to half an hour at most, what the heck happened within this short time?”
In response to her question, the two looked at each other and shrugged, before giving her the answer she wanted, bit by bit.
“Well… we were supposed to go underground…” (Greed.)
“Then a gigantic flesh golem appeared…” (Eliza.)
“A senior member of the demonic hand came out right after it…”
“Then her contracted demon showed up…”
“Then the other demonic hand members showed up…”
“Then your brother scared the demon shitless…”
“She went on to use her true form release…”
“Evan got pissed off for some reason and attacked her…”
After hearing Eliza’s take on Evan’s reaction, a look of remembrance flashed through Pride’s eyes, followed by an obvious change in her mood.
Greed noticed this but chose not to comment on it and kept narrating the events that happened when his sister was away.
“She and the two spirits handled most of the goons…” (Greed)
“While your lil bro took on the senior member and caused that big sinkhole you’re looking at…” (Eliza)
“In my defence, this was totally unintended.
I was only retaliating against her own attack that could have buried us underground.”
“Yeah, so while he was causing a lot of environmental destruction, Kuro and Kayla were helping me out with restraining and torching the other demonic hand members.”
Eliza then patted Kuro’s and continued, ending with a question for the cat-shaped shadow spirit.
“Something else happened further down where Evan was, but I have no idea what went on there.
Speaking of which, is he done with his fight? It’s been very quiet for a while.”
[He’s done and is on his way back.𝑜𝓋𝐿𝐞xt.𝐂𝗈𝓂
Look.]
Kuro raised his paw and pointed at the sky where Evan was jumping across multiple aura footholds and quickly making his way over to them.
Upon reaching an area where Greed’s landslide didn’t affect, he got back to the ground and jogged up to them normally.
“You’ve really taken to using these aura footholds.
Isn’t this supposed to be a really difficult thing to do mid-fights?”
“I’ve gotten the skill so It’s a lot easier to use.”
Evan replied before creating an aura foothold and placing his feet on top it before continuing.
“I can also make for others to use.”
He generated another foothold about two metres from his position, one which Kayla jumped on top of before transforming into her larger humanoid form and sitting on it.
[It’s just like a small floating stool.]
Seeing the young spirit’s antics, the boy created two more footholds underneath just in case the first expired and vanished while she was still sitting on it.
“Where’s the demon?”
Towards Greed’s question, Evan pulled out a juice pack from his inventory (one with actual juice) and replied.
“She’s in my inventory.”
“I don’t recall you being able to toss living beings inside there…”
Evan turned to Eliza upon hearing her statement and replied with a smile.
“Exactly. I can’t”
