Chapter 344 - Battle at the Moon Tower: Removal of Limiter
Blood flowed out of Alice's mouth. She raised her hand and wiped the blood.
She failed to eliminate the weakest person and this will give her some trouble in this battle. From now on, they will be wary about her spells.
"That's was close. I thought I was a goner." Kan said as he glanced at the hole in his shoulder. He got caught off guard before thinking that the two of them could easily handle this girl.
"Yeah, you got lucky..." Alice smiled wryly. As she silently circulated her mana inside her body.
"But not anymore... You've forced Lim to use his strength so you wouldn't be able to fight us." Kan paused for a moment before he added, "This guy, Lim, is the first executive. In other words, he's the strongest among all the executives of the Moon Tower. It's your mistake to think that you can handle the two of us alone."
"It's not a mistake. I can really deal with the two of you at the same time." Alice spoke as she readied herself to cast spells at any moment.
"We will not hold back. I don't want any of my comrades to die. I don't want to repeat the same mistake." Kan said seriously. He didn't show it outside but he was blaming himself when Kin died.
He was Kin's older brother. Both of them lived in the True God's Holy Kingdom. Their parents were devout believers of the True God. Their family wasn't rich nor poor. They were pretty average and they were living a normal happy life in the kingdom.
But one day, they found that their parents were dead. They were found in the alley of the street without any signs of life. This changed the sibling's life upside down.
They've experienced hardship at a young age. They work tirelessly and trained hard to become a holy knight of the kingdom. After many years of working hard, the two became apprentice knights of their city. Their power level at that time was C-rank and the minimum power level of a holy knight was B-rank.
They only needed to promote their power level before they become a true holy knight of the kingdom. The first one to become a holy knight was his little brother, Kin. They gained some authority and they started to investigate what happened to their parents. How and why did they die? Or who killed them?
After investigating, they've found that the head priest of their city was the one who killed their parents. The reason why their parents died was simple. It was because she didn't heed the words of the head priest. The head priest tried to r.a.p.e his mother but she resisted and in the end, both of them died.
Their parents died simply because of it. The f.u.c.k!! They were filled with anger. They trusted the head priest like their own parents but they didn't think that the head priest was that kind of man. They've also found that the head priest was the reason why some of the women in their city died.
Kin lost himself in rage and killed the head priest. It was nothing but the other holy knights captured him. He was going to be executed by killing the priest. Kan placed all the evidence that the head priest was the one who's wrong but they've said that the evidence was fake and forge.
Since no one believed them, Kan decided to freed his brother. He broke through and become a B-rank powerhouse. He killed his way in the jail and rescued his brother.
He could understand that his brother was wrong to kill the head priest but why would they cover up the crime of the head priest.
Ever since then they tried to confront the True God's Holy Kingdom.
"We will have our revenge on that kingdom and I will not let anyone stop us," Kan said with a serious expression.
Alice didn't reply as she just observed them. She was waiting for them to attack her and adopted her approach to them.
"Then, I will start it," Kan said as he charged towards Alice and Lim went around her.
Alice tapped her toe on the ground and it turned into ice. Then, ice spikes burst out of the ground.
Kan and Lim moved their bodies side to side as they avoided all the spikes.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Alice dashed towards Kan as she slashed her spear vertically.
Kan gathered her mana on his fist and he threw a punch.
Bang!!
Alice turned around and saw Lim heading in her direction. She tightened her muscles as she braced herself for the impact.
The liquefied mana gathered around Lim's fist like a whirlwind. He then threw it towards Alice.
[Dominating Earth Fist]!!
Alice tried to block the attack but she was blown away and crashed on the walls.
Boom!
"Argh!!"
She spat a mouthful of blood and it splattered on the ground. She didn't have a time to adjust herself as she felt that her opponents were coming at her.
[Hail Storm]!
She waved her hand and powerful cold wind with large block ice covered the entire field.
This spell wasn't enough to stop the two especially Lim but it was enough to slow their movements.
Alice shook her body as she jumped in the mid-air and pointed her spear at her opponents.
[Dozens Frozen Spear]!!
Several spears made of ice formed behind her. The spears were suspended in the mid-air and it was aiming at the two.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Some of the spears flew towards Lim and Kan at a very high speed.
Kan decided to avoid it as he knew that he couldn't block it without receiving injury.
Lim simply waved the shield in his hand and shattered the ice spears.
Thud!
Alice landed on the ground as more and more ice spears formed behind her. She then charged towards the two while the spears behind her were flying at her opponents.
Kan stomped his feet on the ground and crushed the ice. He didn't want to be bothered by it when he clashed with Alice.
Alice arrived in front of him and quickly thrust her spear. Kan avoided it by shifting his body to the side and Alice reacted by swinging it in his direction.
At the same time, the ice spears behind her flew towards Kan blocking all of his escape routes.
Lim saw this and he raised his shield. He threw it ahead and it shattered the ice spears creating a way for Kan to escape.
Bang! Bang!
Kan jumped away and Lim flashed forward.
Boom!
Alice and Lim exchanged high-speed blows.
'This girl can keep up with Lim...' Kan was a little bit surprised as he saw Alice clashing with Lim.
But Alice was the one who's receiving heavy injuries. After all, her opponent was a powerful A-rank powerhouse and it was hard to keep up.
Normal B-rank couldn't fight an A-rank just like her but she managed to hold on.
Bang! Bang!
An enormous amount of mana smashed her body and once again she was blown away.
Among the executives of the Moon Tower, Lim was the weird one. He rarely talked and he was always in dazed. Still, he was following the words of every executive without fail.
With the creation of their group, Lim was the last one who joined them. Their leader, Curdova, found him in the middle of a town that the church destroyed. Lim was the sole survivor of that town.
Every member of their group hated the True God's Holy Kingdom. They bonded together to fight that kingdom and get their revenge even if they knew that it was close to impossible.
Boom!
Smoke and dust shot up as Alice crashed on the ceiling of the room. Her figure was full of blood and she felt her body getting numb.
Her body fell on the ground with a loud "thud" sound.
"You can't fight us. No matter what happened we will show those people that we could fight them." Kan said as he looked at Alice.
Alice stood up with great effort. She patted the dust on her clothes and wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth.
"You haven't defeated me yet why are you acting like you've already won the battle," Alice said as she put a smile on her face.
"Just look at your figure anyone could see that you could hardly fight," Kan said to her. "Besides, there's no point in continuing this. In just a few minutes, the ritual will be completed."
"I don't care about what you experience and what's your goal. I just want to help my friends, that's all." Alice stood straight as she turned up her sleeve. "Also, I haven't shown you my true form yet. When our class checked everyone's affinity, they saw that I have an affinity for ice and darkness and up until now I only use ice."
Kan narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything. He felt that Alice still have the confidence to fight them.
"There's a reason why I didn't use darkness... I didn't want to show it to anyone but I have no choice now as I want to decrease the burden of my friends." Alice said as she removed the bracelet on her wrist.
As soon as she removed her bracelet, a large amount of mana gushed out of her body.
Boom!
The ground turned black as the cold wind turned colder. It blocked the path towards the floor below and above. No, she sealed this entire floor with her power as she didn't want other people to see her appearance.
