772.

“Hup!”

The man’s massive forearm bulged.

Powerful aura erupted from the enormous greatsword gripped in his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Xia quickly closed the distance with the man.

Kiiiiing!

A sharp sound as if tearing through the air.

‘Quite brave, but a foolish choice.’

Seeing Chen Xia charge at him without hesitation, the man didn’t doubt his victory.

She possessed strength unthinkable for a young girl, but he thought that was all there was to it.

Chen Xia felt the crushing blade that could tear even air itself bearing down on her.

Swoosh-

But Chen Xia closed her eyes and kicked off the ground even harder.

The man’s eyes widened in shock at the sight!

Whoosh-!

Chen Xia dove into the crushing blade and found an opening to rush in.

“Impossible!”

The man cried out in alarm and hastily tried to check Chen Xia as she closed the distance.

But Chen Xia was faster, slipping into the man’s guard.

‘Her eyes are closed?!’

The man’s face contorted as he watched Chen Xia.

Thwack-!

Chen Xia’s fist drove into the man’s side.

Though it was a small, delicate fist, the power contained within was immense.

Water is flow.

The more water flows.

And the longer that flow is blocked, the stronger it becomes.

Chen Xia’s strike, having trapped her water aura at her fingertips like a dam instead of letting it flow, was heavy and powerful.

On top of that.

Whirl-!

As Chen Xia twisted her fist while driving it in, tremendous rotational force was generated like a raging current.

“Gaaah!”

A twisted scream burst from the man’s mouth.

Crash-crash-crash-crash-crash-!

The man’s body flew through several buildings as it was launched away.

“Phew.”

Chen Xia exhaled and opened her eyes.

The reason she had closed her eyes was quite simple.

‘Supersense.’

That was Chen Xia’s method of stepping into the realm of supersense.

Of course, Chen Xia’s supersense was only at a very basic introductory stage.

Moreover, it was an incomplete state where only ‘touch’ among the senses entered the supersense realm.

‘Lord Arron and Lord Leo… live in this kind of realm.’

Chen Xia, familiar with darkness, temporarily blocked her vision to gain supersense.

Even this incomplete supersense felt like a new world.

As Chen Xia marveled.

Thud-! Rumble-rumble-rumble!

The buildings where the man had crashed collapsed.

Pushing through the building debris, the man revealed himself before Chen Xia.

The armor he wore was torn away like paper.

Despite having taken tremendous impact, the man with his upper body exposed smiled with a robust face.

“Not bad. But reckless. Closing your eyes in terror and charging desperately is what saved you.”

“If that seemed like a desperate charge to you, I can guess your level.”

“Hah. Acting tough, are we? I like that!”

The man struck his chest with the fist not holding his sword.

“But girl, your attacks cannot pierce this steel-like body of mine.”

The human man spoke boldly and extended his hand toward Chen Xia.

“How about it, girl? Won’t you serve the goddess like me, Akatris? You have more than enough qualifications to be chosen as the goddess’s warrior.”

“Goddess? What’s that?”

“Ah, how pitiful. To think there are humans who have forgotten the Frozen Realm of Death, Nix…”

“Just looking at it, that’s an ominous name like the Calamity Flame.”

“Nix is different from such calamities that would burn the world.”

Akatris smiled.

“What she desires is to create an ideal world. To do so, she will beautifully cultivate this world.”

“And after that?”

“She will freeze the world, making it a state where time doesn’t flow.”

“That’s destruction in the end. It doesn’t seem much different from Erebos.”

“True. But it won’t happen in our lifetime.”

Akatris smiled confidently.

“Under her radiance, we can put the world beneath our feet and enjoy honor and power until we die. How about it? Doesn’t that sound appealing? Moreover, I, Akatris, am a warrior favored by her. I will stand at the pinnacle of humanity. I don’t have a companion yet. You have more than enough qualifications to become my companion and bear my successor.”

“I’ll pass on your disgusting proposal. I already belong to someone. My body and heart belong to one person.”

Chen Xia smiled sweetly.

But her eyes were coldly frozen.

“It doesn’t matter. In fact, I like you even more. I also enjoy taking things.”

Chen Xia chuckled.

“He’s not someone the likes of you could do anything to. Well, you wouldn’t even be able to speak to him in the first place.”

“What?”

Chen Xia smiled brightly while tapping her neck.

Akatris looked puzzled at this action, but suddenly covered his mouth as something hot surged up from his throat.

“Your body is tough, but your regenerative ability is impressive. I see it’s only now been cut.”

“What… Gaaah!”

Akatris gripped his throat with the hand not covering his mouth, his eyes bulging.

Thud-! Clang-!

His massive body fell to its knees.

Chen Xia approached such Akatris.

In Chen Xia’s hand was now a dagger.

“When I struck your side earlier, I slashed your throat with the dagger. In that process, I flowed water aura into your blood.”

That water aura had become blades, slashing up Akatris’s body from the inside.

“Usually, you’d feel pain and respond, or it would be detected by aura sensing, making it an ineffective attack… But you seem to have the ability to block pain sensations to your body. Moreover, you only know how to use brute force but seem quite clumsy at control.”

“Cow… Coward… Gaaah!”

“Coward? You can’t even handle such a basic attack and you talk about cowardice?”

Chen Xia smiled brightly.

“So why don’t you say it again? Who’s taking what from whom?”

***

Selia took a deep breath.

The beastman warrior moved at tremendous speed invisible to the eye using his leg strength.

His powerful claws wounded Selia’s body here and there.

Flare-!

Aura gathered on Selia’s sword.

“How foolish. With your slow swordplay, you can’t cut me!”

The sound of the beastman’s mocking laughter could be heard.

At that mocking laughter, Selia swung her sword in an instant.

Swoosh-!

“Huk?!”

A sword swing that accurately predicted the path the beastman would take.

“Close. A bit too fast.”

Selia said indifferently.

She acknowledged that he had speed invisible to the eye.

But…

“Your attacks are monotonous. It’s not difficult to predict your path.”

Selia snorted.

As she said, the Beastman Warrior’s attacks were far too simple.

“Ridiculous! I’ll kill you before you can completely predict my movements!”

The Beastman Warrior said fiercely.

At that moment, a gleam flashed in Selia’s red eyes.

Soon, Selia’s vision entered the realm of supersenses.

Then she could see the beastman moving at tremendous speed.

Selia kicked off the ground.

Since she could see all his movements, predicting the enemy’s path was far too easy.

Slash-!

“Kuk?”

Thud-!

Selia’s sword cleanly severed the Beastman Warrior’s neck.

The neck cut by the flame aura had its cross-section burned, so not even blood flowed.

“Hmph. What a waste of physical abilities.”

Selia snorted.

***

In front of Eiran were countless tunnels.

The Dwarf Warrior who revealed himself before her was an enemy that attacked while moving underground.

It seemed like a trivial ability, but his movement speed underground was tremendous, so he didn’t look easy to catch.

Eiran’s ears perked up.

Soon, Eiran jumped into the tunnel.

‘Foolish! To think she’d enter the tunnels I dug to catch me!’

The Dwarf Warrior mocked Eiran.

This was like jumping into the middle of enemy territory.

‘How should I hunt this foolish elf…’

Tap tap-

“Excuse me.”

“Huh? Kuhuk?!”

The Dwarf Warrior was shocked to see Eiran tapping him from behind.

Eiran struck down on the Dwarf Warrior’s head with her shield.

Crash-!

“H-how…?”

The Dwarf Warrior with rolled-back eyes collapsed, foaming at the mouth.

Eiran’s pointed elf ears kept twitching restlessly.

“I can hear everything…”

For Eiran, whose hearing had entered the realm of supersenses, catching the dwarf was nothing.

***

Chloe was trapped in ice with her whole body frozen.

“To dare attack me with ice magic. What a foolish human.”

Then.

Crack-!

The ice shattered and Chloe escaped from within the ice.

The Elf Mage’s eyes widened.

“I had high expectations since it was a magic formula I’d never seen before…”

Chloe sighed.

“It’s an interesting formula with infinite development potential, but the user’s skill is terrible. A combat style that relies only on massive mana. What an old-fashioned idea.”

“O-old-fashioned?! To me, a genius mage?!”

Watching the Elf Mage show a reaction close to a fit, Chloe made an uninterested expression.

“I’ll show you what ice magic really is.”

Whooooo-!

Massive mana writhed from Chloe’s body.

The sensation from when she had entrusted her body to Risinass before came back to life.

At that time, Risinass had used magic with Chloe’s body that had power Chloe couldn’t produce.

‘It’s proof that my research is still insufficient.’

Hiss-!

Cold air flowed out from Chloe’s body.

Crack-!

Ice formed on the ground and transformed into Chloe’s appearance.

An ice clone.

The clone began chanting a spell.

Chloe layered another spell on top of it.

Fusion magic at a level that would put the caster in danger.

But she had the ice clone bear that risk instead.

“Kuk! You think I’ll just let you!”

The Elf Mage urgently tried to use magic.

But Chloe completed her spell faster than that.

Flash-!

“Kuk?! How can magic be this fast…”

“It’s just a simple activation formula.”

Chloe shrugged her shoulders.

‘Luna and Risinass were amazing even without knowing activation formulas.’

Those two’s magical skills were at a level that far surpassed the common sense of modern magic trends.

Of course, comparing the Elf Mage in front of her to those two would be rude.

‘A mage intoxicated only by his own mana.’

There was no enemy easier to deal with than such a mage.

Chloe looked at her clone and said.

“Attack!”

At those words, the ice clone flew forward.

And it collided directly with the Elf Mage, causing a tremendous explosion.

Boom-!

The ice clone exploded and ice particles began falling from the sky.

“…Chloe. What kind of magic did you create?”

Selia, who had finished dealing with her enemy, asked with an incredulous face.

Eiran, who had emerged from the tunnel, also gaped with her mouth hanging open.

To this, Chloe said with an innocent face.

“Self-destruct magic.”

“…Don’t you feel uncomfortable watching a clone that looks exactly like you explode?”

“Hm? Why?”

Watching Chloe make an expression of not understanding, Selia shook her head vigorously.

“You really do feel like a true mage when I see you like this.”

***

Enisilia’s eyes widened in shock.

She couldn’t possibly defeat the elf before her.

“Wh-what is this…!”

“Nothing special.”

Runia withdrew her flames.

And she sneered at Enisilia, who was so swollen she was unrecognizable.

“Using vulgar fists…!”

“Huh?! What about fists! I used kicks too! You damn bitch serving that Erebos bastard!”

Runia kicked Enisilia wildly.

“You don’t care what happens to future generations as long as you eat well and live well? How ridiculous! You’re worse than those traitors!”

“Ugh! To do such things to me, the Elf King…!”

“What Elf King! I’m the successor of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies! I’m greater than some Elf King!”

“Wow… She’s no different from a thug.”

Runia, who had been trampling on Enisilia, turned her head.

“Chen Xia. What about the human you were dealing with?”

“He was spouting disgusting nonsense about liking to steal things, so I stole his life.”

Chen Xia answered with a bright smile.

“Well then, shall we finish off this elf now?”

Chen Xia looked at Enisilia with a beaming smile.

At this, Enisilia screamed in frustration.

“The great Sage and Priestess won’t let you bitches get away with this!”

KWAAAAANG-!

As soon as those words ended, something flew over with a tremendous explosion.

Thud- Thud- Roll roll roll-

It was none other than the pale-skinned demon, the Third Priestess Pyuri.

Sizzle-

Pyuri’s head melted away completely.

It was when Enisilia’s eyes filled with horror.

Someone walked over from the direction Pyuri had flown from.

A beautiful face reminiscent of a goddess.

But the aura was so fierce it would terrify anyone who saw it.

In his hand was the collar of the Third Sage, Phlegethon, who had been reduced to rags.

Phlegethon also soon melted away.

“This is a nightmare… This has to be a nightmare…”

As Enisilia muttered in a daze.

“That elf?”

Risinass’s chilling eyes turned toward Enisilia.

“The one who caused the commotion.”

“Y-yes…”

Runia answered with a trembling voice.

Just as Risinass growled fiercely and approached.

“Alright. That’s enough.”

Leo appeared from behind and lifted Risinass by putting his hands under his armpits.

“I’ll handle that elf.”

Risinass glanced back at Leo, who was holding him from behind, with a sullen expression.

And he snorted.

As Risinass calmed down, Leo put him down and approached Enisilia.

“What are you planning to do?”

When Runia asked with a puzzled expression, Leo said calmly.

“I need to extract information.”

“How?”

At Runia’s question, Leo smiled broadly.

“Usually when they’re miserable enough to want to die, they start talking on their own.”
