Chapter 1045 Dorlus the Seer (3)
Sensing that there was a figure behind him, Flunra began to sweat profusely.
He could already smell the scent coming from that figure, as well as the conspicuous air of malevolence, leaving no room for doubt. It was not Adhara behind him, but Dorlus, eager to do horrible things to him who was stuck in a vulnerable state right now.
Unable to move his arms away, Flunra was completely defenseless.
‘Why does it have to be him…?’ He muttered inwardly, cursing the bad luck they encountered.
If it was other Werewolves, then this wouldn’t be this hard.
Just as he thought of that, a rapid sound of footsteps could be heard as Dorlus sprinted toward him with a sadistic smile adorning his face. Leaping up, he cloaked his claws with moonlight energy and swung his claws strongly.
Clang!
A barrier appeared, protecting Flunra from the attack.
Knowing that there was a high chance that Adhara wouldn’t be able to stop Dorlus, Flunra took a preemptive action. Earlier, he had bitten his own arm and spat blood onto the ground, intending to carve an ancient rune with his toes.
He couldn’t do it with his hands, so he had to make do with what he got.
Naturally, the ancient rune was weaker than usual.
Carving the ancient rune with his toes surely affected the smoothness of the line.
It made the output weaker, but it was still sturdy enough.
Even with the safeguard of the ancient rune, Flunra, faced with an undeterred Dorlus, could only watch as the latter wore an unmistakable smirk. Dorlus extended his claws, effortlessly shattering the protective barrier. On the back of his hand, there was an ancient rune.
An ancient rune that pulsated with formidable power.
Just like Flunra, Dorlus was also capable of using ancient runes.
Expecting a barrier from the start, Dorlus strengthens his attack with his own ancient rune.
Breaking through the barrier, Dorlus stood right behind Flunra.
Slowly raising his claws skyward, he made a powerful swipe that dug deep into Flunra’s bare right shoulder. It forced Flunra to let out a painful grunt. He ignored the pain, and desperately kept his focus on the princess.
“Now, there’s no way out for you,” Dorlus whispered raspingly.
His voice dripped with threat.
With sadistic intent, Dorlus cruelly pressed down, extracting his razor-sharp claws out of Flunra’s shoulder deliberately, inflicting slow and agonizing pain. Ensuring maximum torment, he sliced through Flunra’s collarbone roughly, snapping it in the process.
Looking at Flunra, seething in pain, Dorlus chuckled maniacally.
He placed his bloodied claws in front of his face, smearing Flunra’s blood to his own face.
One will instantly suspect him as a lunatic from the way he looks right now.
“I’m going to inflict Hell’s pain on you, Arnulf. For all the humiliation you inflicted on me in the past, I will repay it tenfold!” Dorlus said, savoring the sight of Flunra’s vulnerability. But when he was about to move again, Adhara came blitzing from the hole in the wall.
Swoosh!
Unlike before, she was not going to pull any punches back and go all out.
“GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HIM!” Boom!
Her entire body was now infused with a mix of blood moonlight energy and her fire elements, and both energies were responding to her emotions right now. Beneath the stress, her power climbed to even the mid-ninth-rank realm.
Even the walls, protected by the Ice and Snow moonlight energy, started to visibly melt.
Adhara emanates heat more potent than ever before.
Concentrating her all into her claws, she attacked Dorlus from behind.
Just like before, he was able to block her attack. But though he wanted to stand his ground, sustaining Adhara’s attack, he was surprised to find that his entire body was pushed about ten meters to the side before stopping.
It was a clear indication that Adhara had reached a higher ceiling of power.
“Don’t get in the way of a reunion, Female Alpha” Dorlus muttered, veins bulging on his neck.
“GRAAARGGHH!!”
“Bad decision, Arnulf…” Dorlus muttered as he tightened his grip on the spine.
His grip produces a light, bony cracking sound, a sign of lethal damage to Flunra’s spine.
Though he was trying to make Flunra yield and let go of the princess, Dorlus couldn’t help but frown himself as he couldn’t believe what Flunra said to him, ‘He has always been the kind of person who worships survival over anything. If the situation is helpless, he is sure to flee. How come it’s different now…?’
Dorlus was caught off guard by Flunra’s answer, it was unexpected.
But this made him become more curious about Rex who made Flunra willingly go this far.
Respect must be present for Flunra to be this stubborn.
Simultaneously, Adhara was still relentlessly launching attack after attack, trying to break through the moonlight energy’s manifestation. Blood sprayed across the floor from her severed arm, yet she was still running and attacking with manic determination.
Adhara became feral, the fierce anger mixed with frustration inside her was on full display.
Moreover, the sound of Flunra’s scream also fueled her.
From his wailing scream, she could hear the deep pain that he was feeling right now.
Pssshh…!
Her anger ignited her Herald Mark even greater, the red linings across her body started to pulse with even more power, increasing her physical stats to a terrifying degree. With a low grunt, she cracked the ground beneath her feet and made a dash.
‘I had no choice, to Hell with the repercussion!’ Adhara’s eyes bulged furiously.
Realizing that the situation requires her to do absolutely anything, lest Flunra was going to be killed by Dorlus, she has no other choice. Garnering every single spirit energy and fire mana that she could muster, she fused all of it into the violet snake on her waist.
“Pneuma Spell, Slither Chains of Jealousy!”
HISS!!
Feeling the increase in power, the violet snake hisses and darted forward.
Having no other option, Adhara decided to use her third circle Pneuma Spell to attack.
Etching a trail across the floor as its size expanded, turning bigger by the second, the violet serpent swiftly coiled around the manifestation of moonlight energy, transforming into chains that securely shackle it in place.
Letting out a thunderous hiss, it started to tighten its wrap.
Under the pressure from the violet serpent, the manifestation of moonlight energy shattered.
Having accomplished its task, the serpent coiled back towards Adhara, shrinking in size to wrap its form around her arm. It transformed into a battle glove with an open snake-head shape before she delivered a powerful swing at Dorlus.
Contrary to earlier, the air began to tremble, depicting the greater strength she emits.
Even the white sphere in the sky reacted and started its suppression.
Since the First Breath was still in effect, neither the Awakened nor the Supernaturals dared to use their strongest spells or skills, fully aware that doing so would have repercussions. It was the white sphere in the sky’s job to make sure those who tried were punished.
But pressured by the situation, Adhara suffered through the suppression.
Her eyes, nose, and ears started to bleed as she fought back against the suppression.
Naturally, her attack alerted Dorlus who was still having fun torturing Flunra. He pivoted his head around and saw that Adhara was already nearing, her claws were conspicuously a few inches away from piercing his eyes.
From the sidelines, there should be no way Dorlus was able to dodge this attack.
However, when the attack was about to hit, he smirked.
A mysterious pale blue energy started to manifest around his body, and there was an eerie glow coming from his shoulder that propelled his aura to a terrifying degree. Even Adhara was surprised when she saw this at the last moment.
SWOOSH!
BOOM!!
Following a brief silence, a massive explosion happened.
It wrought devastating havoc, tearing through the entire dome and vaporizing the ankle-length water on the floor. Nothing was spared from its fierce shockwave, and even Flunra needed to exert more strength to maintain his footing.
Surely, with such an attack, Dorlus wouldn’t be able to come out of it unscathed.
