Chapter 84: Seris Vale [3]
As Cael closed his eyes, he began to think about how to defeat the dark green-haired girl.
Cael wanted to give this girl the experience of despair.
But... how?
In that resonance, he saw the Monarch fighting a person with mana.
She adapted to her opponent’s level.
Then what should he do?
All he had to do was try his best without giving up; that was all.
He even recalled the words that this girl told him in the District Neva.
Just then, Cael sensed the girl charging toward him, and he muttered softly,
As the girl’s fist reached Cael’s face, he opened his violet eyes, which shone with a cosmic purple hue.
That small wind barrier contained a different kind of mana, constructing a white barrier supported by wind.
The application was the same as before, using wind as a medium.
-BOOM
Fine fractures spread like a spiderweb across the white surface, each line pulsing faintly as conflicting mana clashed within.
But Cael did not care.
Instantly, more than twenty wind spikes shot toward her.
The girl immediately stepped sideways and dodged, but the white needles turned and followed her.
Each needle hummed softly, cutting through droplets of moisture and leaving faint ripples in the air behind them.
Cael stretched his hand as moonlight mana began to take the shape of a sword, but ultimately, it formed into a mana construct created by Mana Sovereignty.
The dark green-haired girl, while still dodging the white needles, instantly felt a presence behind her.
Cael had just arrived in the girl’s shadow, only to see a punch moving toward him.
The world slowed down as the girl’s punch slowed considerably, moving at an almost snail-like pace.
But Cael knew he could not maintain this skill for long, so he had to deal as much damage as possible.
"Sorry."
He slashed the girl’s arm, cutting her dominant hand in two.
They mainly targeted her joints while avoiding vital points.
Cael deactivated ’Time Deceleration’.
He fell to his knees, the crack on his hand widening as blood leaked continuously.
The next moment, she realized her right arm had been cut off. Three white needles pierced her left arm, and even her legs were struck by multiple needles.
She did not understand what had just happened.
How could she lose?
She knew her power was comparable to a [Diamond] ranker, and while battling the boy, she knew...
She saw the boy on his knees, coughing blood, and assumed he had used an unmastered skill or technique and was suffering backlash.
Cael gritted his teeth as the eagle neared him.
The air grew sharp with tension, the distant rumble of thunder rolling faintly across the sky, while loose debris and scattered leaves trembled from the approaching force of the descending eagle.
"Swap."
In the place where Cael stood moments before, a new figure appeared.
"Hmm? What the! Where am I?"
Before his eyes could even widen, he was blown into pieces and died.
...
Cael’s sudden appearance startled the other clones, but he did not mind, nor did he have time to explain.
Cael grabbed the girl and used teleportation directly to Seraphina’s house.
...
Inside Lucian Vayne’s dormitory room.
As they fought, Mira asked softly,
Luke smiled and dodged Mira’s mirror enclosure as he said,
Mira stopped closing in and paused, looking into Luke’s eyes. She asked worriedly,
Luke shook his head and spoke before Mira could start imagining strange scenarios,
Mira lost interest in sparring and asked,
Luke nodded lightly and said,
Mira nodded but then paused,
Luke sat down on the floor and said,
Mira tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with curiosity,
Luke sighed,
Mira took a step forward and asked,
Looking at Mira’s serious face, Luke laughed out loud and said,
Mira sighed in relief before asking,
Luke turned his head toward the window and said,
"If one passes that trial, their limit of [Origin] will break, and they will also gain ’Affinity’."
"What is Affinity? Tell me, can only one person participate in that trial? What do you mean the limit of [Origin] will break? Are there ranks above [Origin]?"
Luke smiled helplessly and said,
Mira controlled her excitement and asked,
Just as Luke was about to answer Mira’s question, his eyes widened as he abruptly stood up, turning his head toward the west.
Luke did not notice Mira’s expression as he muttered to himself,
