Chapter 1010: Witch Hunt: [Douion]
Chapter 1010: Witch Hunt: [Douion]
A figure appeared in the sky, radiating an immense amount of energy. His voice reverberated like thunder throughout the entire area.
Souta broke through the layers of space in the Dream Palace with his might. He looked down at everyone from above, his energy palpable throughout the entire legion.
"This monster is insane! He dared to declare that in the land of the witches!" Gawain, watching from afar, grinned widely.
The two experts behind him didn't say anything. They simply continued observing Souta. "He's too strong... How is he a fourth-stage monster?!" Elder Reana gritted her teeth.
Elder Lincy took a deep breath as she felt goosebumps all over her body.
The two of them were already using their elemental and dream powers to the limit, yet this monster only grew stronger.
Layla narrowed her eyes, observing Souta's figure in the sky.
The Blood Lightning Monster was on their list of potential beings that could reach god-rank. His growth rate was fast, and his combat power was unbelievably high. He was also the one who prevented the unsealing of No God Emperor in the Hall Plains.
According to their calculations, he would probably have reached Monster Lord rank in the next few years.
"Come! If you don't want to, then it's better for me!" Souta said as he bent his knees and launched himself at them.
Boom!!
"He's coming!" Elder Lincy exclaimed.
Elder Reana immediately moved, positioning herself at the front and raising her soul weapon. In an instant, Souta arrived in front of her and swung his sword with all his might.
Elder Reana tried her best to block the attack, but she only lasted a second before being blown away. Her body smashed heavily into the ground, creating a massive crater.
Elder Lincy wanted to attack, but it was already too late. A black hole smashed into her face as a massive red energy blade landed on her stomach.
Bang! Bang!
In just a few seconds, Souta blew the two elders away as if they were mere insects. He stood in mid-air, looking at his hands in wonder.
"So this is the might of [Douion]. It's better than I expected," he muttered to himself.
He had used this power after realizing that he wouldn't be able to defeat Layla and the two elders with just his released form. The [Douion] was unexpectedly effective in combat compared to what he had imagined.
This was his first time using this kind of power in combat, so he wasn't used to it. He also wasn't trained in its use, so if he got sloppy with this power, he could understand why. "Shit!"
Layla gritted her teeth as she pressed both of her hands together. A huge magic circle appeared beneath her feet.
[Zero Destruction Zone]!
Several pillars of rock rose from the ground. Each pillar was carved with strange symbols, releasing purple smoke into the area. A purple tattoo appeared on Layla's forehead as her energy rose sharply.
In the next second, several magic circles appeared on the pillars.
Elder Reana and Elder Lincy rose to their feet. They felt the buff they were receiving from Layla, which also healed some of the injuries they had sustained from Souta.
"This monster is as strong as the Supreme Elders," Elder Reana said.
Elder Lincy couldn't help but nod in agreement.
The power that Souta was displaying rivaled that of the two Supreme Elders of the Walpurgis Night-a being clearly above the other elders.
"Hmm...?" Souta turned his head, noticing several magic circles forming in the surroundings.
[Zero Destruction Zone]. A powerful tier 3 spell that could lay out dozens of magic circles in the field and give them a twenty percent enhancement. The user only needed a light thought to activate different types of spells. Since it was a field-type spell, it also healed or slowed down any target within the field.
"That's good!" Souta said as he raised his hand and made a grabbing motion. The [Orb of Arcane Seal] spun wildly beside him, emitting a dim bluish light.
In an instant, he manifested his own [Zero Destruction Zone] using the universal-grade artifact. It collided with the one Layla had cast, causing energy sparks to fly everywhere.
The difference was in the magic circles laid out in the field. He poured his energy into all the magic circles, causing them to light up. All the magic circles in the field of [Zero Destruction Zone] were separate from what he was using.
"He copied the spell?!" Layla exclaimed.
Ohm!!
In the next moment, black holes appeared in the area as darkness spread out, trying to swallow her field. The fierce collision of their spells rocked the whole dimension, widening the rifts that Souta had created earlier.
Boom!!
On the side, Alice was fighting the golems along with Kayla's squad. Although the battle between Souta, the two elders, and Layla had destroyed many golems, there were still more
left.
Alice thrust her spear, piercing through the bodies of the golems. She then turned her head toward the battle, seeing the ripples in the air that shook the entire dimension.
"This place is about to collapse soon," she muttered.
She observed her surroundings, trying to find a way out of this situation. There were too many golems, and she couldn't fight all of them.
Alice looked at Eilish and Kayla's squad before saying, "Prepare yourselves. Once this place collapses, we're going to shake off all these golems."
It was the only plan she could think of. But first, they needed to hold their ground against the
onslau
golems.
Boom!! Boom!!
Gawain watched the battle for a few seconds before saying, "Arven, Lensa, we're going."
Arven and Lensa nodded at his words without question.
"This monster could potentially destroy us. No matter what happens, even if this monster couldn't do it, that elemental being will be able to once he completes the ritual. In the end, we'll face death," Gawain said.
Swoosh!!
Arven and Lensa charged at Souta without a word. They brandished their weapons swiftly and
attacked him.
Souta looked at them. "They've decided to join the battle?! But that won't change anything!"
The four spider limbs on his back moved and fired [Bestrou], forcing Arven and Lensa to
defend.
At the same time, the two elders arrived beside him. Souta glanced at them before slashing his sword. Elder Reana stepped forward, blocking his attack, while Elder Lincy stabbed him in the stomach from the side.
Souta ignored the damage as he kicked her. Then, he stretched out his hand. Elder Reana wanted to step back, but a powerful gravity pushed her body towards his hand.
In the next moment, their figures descended like meteorites, with Arven and Lensa chasing
him.
They clashed on the ground, creating shockwaves after shockwaves. Souta moved as fast as he could, keeping up with Arven, Lensa, the two elders, and Layla.
The [Douion] boosted his strength more than he expected. The experts he was fighting right now weren't just simple Sixth Shackle experts.
"He's too strong... What kind of energy is he using?! It's kind of similar to elemental power and dream power, but also different," Layla gritted her teeth, activating spells to aid the
experts fighting Souta head-on.
Bang! Bang!!
Arven and Lensa were blown away. Souta moved his hand as thousands of webs spread out in the area. His [Douion] flowed through them, destroying everything in its path. Gawain took a deep breath as he raised his hand and slashed his palm with his sword. He
glanced at the battle and said, "Death, take me away from life. I shall bring doom to those
who couldn't bring death to me."
The next second, his body emitted powerful energy. He charged at the battle like a shooting
star, tearing through the tough crimson webs.
Swoosh!!
Souta widened his eyes, but he managed to raise his sword in front of him, blocking Gawain's
blade.
"I knew you wouldn't simply watch," he grinned, staring into his opponent's eyes. "You're a madman! You'll destroy the Walpurgis Night, killing hundreds of thousands of
people just to satisfy that girl's wish!" Gawain said as he put more force into his blade.
Souta's figure was blown away and crashed on the ground several kilometers away.
Boom!!
He immediately emerged from the smoke, pointing his sword at Gawain. "Not my problem. If you have an issue with my decision, then stop me."
Gawain grinned widely and said, "That's good. I hope you can destroy me!"
Swoosh!!
The two collided in the air fiercely, shaking the two fields of [Zero Destruction Zone]. Various spells flew every second as Souta and Gawain exchanged high-speed blows.
Souta moved from side to side as the two elders, Arven, and Lensa joined the battle once
again. He couldn't deliver a lethal blow against any of them since they were working with
such high precision.
Even with his [Douion] activated, he couldn't gain a significant advantage.
They were truly experts, especially this Gawain guy. His sword techniques were honed to the
limit. Speaking solely about swordsmanship, Souta would admit that Gawain was better than
him.
Their battle continued before a loud sound erupted. Cracks spread all over the place as the
entire dimension collapsed.
Boom!!
Fragments spread out above the Dream Palace as Souta flew out of a huge rift. He could see
the full view of the palace, the region, the boundaries, and the clouds of dream power above.
Souta looked down as his webs pierced through the dimensional fragments. He pulled Alice and the others as he threw them behind him.
At the same time, thousands of golems poured out of the rifts like flies.
"I'm still not used to [Douion]..." Souta muttered.
