Chapter 490 - Perfect Mastery
Amanda gritted her teeth as blood poured out of her mouth. She was caught off guard and the enhanced senses of Extermination Realm didn't help in this environment.
The energy coming from the magic circle was too high so even if someone used mana here, she wouldn't be able to sense it. That's why Greyman used this opportunity to eliminate them.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Why didn't she expect this betrayal?! was it because Greyman saved her life before? Yes, that must be the reason why she didn't expect that Greyman would betray her.
Ah~ this must be her fate after killing countless people...
She already knew it from the beginning but she at least wanted to find out why her people have to die. She wanted to know the reason why an unknown group of people killed all witches in the world.
This was her responsibility as the sole survivor of the witches in this world. She would accomplish it even if she used vile methods that everyone treated as taboo.
Before she died at least she wanted to know why??
Just why?
'I can't die in this place... I will accept any punishment after I discovered the truth.'
Amanda gritted her teeth as her eyes burned with determination. She could still remember the faces of the other witches like her.
Those witches that have gentle smiles on their faces were kind people but everything changed after that incident. Everyone has fear and despair painted all over their faces.
"Argh!!"
Amanda opened her palm and gathered her remaining energy. A pair of blood-red daggers with an exquisite design formed on her hands.
This was the unique ability of witches. Witches had their own weapons inside their bodies that grew alongside them, and they called these weapons Soul Weapon.
In the Imperium, most of the witches thousand years ago were hunted down because of these weapons. The soul weapons of the witches could even rival the top grades weapon existing in the entire world. Making them feared by countless people, and it also brought trouble to them as people were blinded by greed taking their soul weapons as trophies.
The most famous witch several thousand years ago that brought the age of witches in the Giza continent was Le Fay. She was a witch that reached the god realm and her soul weapon was upgraded to match the universal grade equipment making her extremely powerful.
Her soul weapon was a wooden broom and no one would have thought that a simple-looking broom could rival a universal grade weapon. Since then wooden broom was often accentuated every time people mentioned witches.
It became their symbol.
A crimson-colored aura erupted from the daggers in Amanda's hands. She used all of her remaining strength to launch one powerful attack.
[Witch Domain: Natural Dividing]!!
A powerful red slash erupted and Greyman quickly noticed it. The three Extermination Realms also noticed this extremely powerful attack that could heavily injure their bodies.
"One last attack before you die...? As expected of the Red Witch, you wouldn't die without fighting back."
Greyman simply smiled while facing the gigantic red slash that cut the ground and the roof of the church into half.
It would be a different matter if he was alone but he had another three Extermination Realms with him so he wasn't afraid of the attack.
"Do it! Protect the magic circle at any cost!"
He said as he gathered up his mana and placed his palm together. He opened it and a cone shape field appeared in front of him.
Swoosh!
"It's all in vain! Hahaha!"
Greyman laughed as the three Extermination Realms created a barrier using their mana to block the red slash.
Boom!!
Torkez opened his palm and tried to grab the old man but the Senior Master of the Purple Heart Tower prevented him from touching the old man by launching a huge wave of water.
Swoosh!
Torkez simply punched the wave of water and it quickly disappeared into thin air. He then bent his knees and continued charging forward.
"Tsk!"
The Senior Master clicked his tongue in annoyance while looking at Torkez who was covered in layers of black flesh. He avoided fighting at close range as he realized that Torkez's physical prowess was unimaginable.
But then the Senior Master himself wasn't that good in long-range combat. His weapon was a twin sword so he usually fought head to head but this time was different. Torkez's physical strength was problematic for him so he didn't dare to approach him carelessly.
Water coated his twin swords before he slashed his swords forward forming an X shape water current in the air that flew towards Torkez.
Swoosh!!
Torkez narrowed his eyes and he lifted up his left foot. Then he stomped the ground as hard as he could causing the floor to collapse.
Boom!
Spider web cracks formed on the floor before several gigantic debris of rocks were thrown in the mid-air.
"This is enough..."
Torkez grabbed one of the boulders and poured his mana on it before he threw it towards the X shape water blades.
Boom!
Torkez used this chance to chase after the old man once again. The explosion from the attack created a field of smoke that blocked the vision of the Senior Master.
This would buy him a few seconds and that was enough for him to deal with a mere B-rank expert.
But he was wrong...
Ohm!!
Torkez turned around as he sensed a powerful wave of mana. Then, he saw fifty-meter tall waves of water trying to swallow the whole area.
This wasn't an ordinary wave as he could see the water blades on its surface slicing the buildings in front of it.
"This... Did he already intend to abandon the old man? Maybe he decided to kill the old man so that I couldn't get any information from him."
He muttered while looking at the approaching waves.
"I didn't have any flashy attack like that... All I have are some skills that could help me in close combat but it's enough to offset that flashy waves."
Torkez's face turned serious as his left arm turned into a huge sharp lance. He then activated the [Triple Muscle Strengthening], [Cat's Speed], and [Shadow Cloak] that Souta taught in the living labyrinth.
The huge sharp lance spun at high speed creating a whirlwind and its tip shone brightly as he poured his mana on it.
Ohm!
When the water waves were twenty meters away from him, Torkez thrust the lance forward.
[Stab]!
Bang!!
It was simple yet the power of this attack was terrifying.
All the water waves in front of Torkez had disappeared. Even the clouds in the sky were dispersed as if they were in the way of a great being. A huge gulley could be seen from the ground as the whole area felt like they weren't inside a city anymore.
"This...?!!"
The Senior Master was paled as he couldn't believe what he saw. That attack was clearly above the level of Extermination Realm. It could even rival some of the weaker attacks of Annihilation Realm.
What the hell is this man?!
Is this man from the central continent?
He heard the powerhouses from the central continent. There were thousands of Extermination Realm and hundreds of Annihilation Realm in that land. That land surpassed the combined military prowess of the east, west, north, and south continents.
The rulers of that land were powerhouses at Extinction Realm.
According to his knowledge, Extinction Realm were people that broke the shackles of the mortal body. They had ultimate combat arts and spells that couldn't be compared to the other continents.
'I need to report this to Tower Master?'
The Senior Master thought while glancing at Torkez's daunting figure.
What he didn't know was that the combat arts that Torkez used was a simple [Stab].
Torkez simply mastered a simple [Stab] to an unimaginable level. Souta once said that Torkez already surpassed Souta's mastery of the skill [Stab].
This means that the level of his [Stab] was higher than Souta.
In the past, while they were training on the living labyrinth. Torkez decided that he would focus his attention on mastering this skill. A skill that has the powerful piercing ability and armor penetration effect was perfected by him.
"This skill is really good..."
He nodded with a satisfied expression. Fighting powerful monsters in the labyrinth while training this one skill has paid off. If he had this power from the start then maybe he wouldn't be imprisoned in the Prison World.
Maybe, he would be able to take down the powerful generals of the Great Astley Empire including those Royal Guards that had the power level of an A-rank.
...
In the coffee shop in the Blue Ray City...
Souta was inside his room absorbing the energy of the monster orbs in his palms. After a while, he opened his eyes and glanced at the window.
"That Torkez... It seems that he is currently fighting. Well, with his current power he could even escape from the assault of an S-rank."
He smiled before he closed his eyes once again.. He just felt Torkez's mana spiked up and it made him curious.
