Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 120
The Leader was extremely pleased and silently heaved a sigh of relief.
Should that lightning forces wreak havoc in his body, it was almost impossible for him to be alive right now.
“Slick moves,” the Leader said as he narrowed his eyes and became much extra careful against Narukami.
Narukami faintly smiled as his expression had yet to be stolen.
He then said, “I probably could not defeat you head on but that does not mean I’m not willing to use tricks.”
The Leader had taken many steps as he retreated. He was four to six meters away from Narukami.
Although the attacks from the mummies did not decrease either in speed and attack, Narukami see a certain pattern in them and his eyes slowly got used to their speed.
While it was a fact they were faster and stronger, that did not mean Narukami had no way to counter them.
If he was a character in a video game. Many abilities would pop up on the interface and one of them was called, [Proficient Eyes of the Masters.]
Well, it was a technique taught by his ancestor and it matched him perfectly.
This was because the Electro element excels in speed and by enchanting his eyes with it, he could see something even faster than the speed of light!
Of course, it required the user to get used to the speed before they could perceive the object.
This guy has no weakness! The Leader said to himself as he was shocked and furious. He was aware that Narukami slowly adapt to his situation.
This reminded the Leader of a Sorcerer who dedicated themselves with spells and slowly became a mage.
As there were many spells in the world, old mages who lived thousands of years who comprehended spells beyond one’s imagination were a terrifying enemy as they could use different spells on the battlefield.
It was hard to spot a weakness in them and facing them had to be careful and wait patiently for their spiritual energy to run out.
Although the Leader was certain Narukami was not a mage who had a lot of spells in his mind, his spiritual energy was different.
From the way, the Leader looked at it. Narukami was a close-ranged fighter so his spiritual energy must be less than mages.
Mages had enormous spiritual energy as the spells they had to use also drain a lot.
So the more the Leader dragged out this battle, the more advantageous he became. The Leader was confident that whatever technique Narukami used to cost him a lot of spiritual energy.
Narukami had the same thought too. He precisely predicted his opponent’s line of thought.
I wonder what his expression is going to be when he realizes my spiritual energy is boundless as the ocean? Narukami pondered and had the urge to showcase it.
However, he rejected that belief. Fighting the Leader, he needed every drop of spiritual energy.
He would not do as unnecessary as spending his spiritual energy just to show off how vast it was.
Narukami did not say anything as he realized what the Leader had in mind gave him some advantages.
Since he thinks that my spiritual energy is going to run out, how about I play along? Narukami thought and after considering the pros and cons in an extremely quick manner.
There were more pros than cons and he achieved this in 0.9 seconds!
His movements are getting slower and more attacks hit him. His recovery rate also and he purposely declined his life force.
This was something almost impossible for a Sorcerer to do! However, he’s a master of illusion and could even put the entire world into it! Doing something as easy as declining his life force was anything but only a trifling matter.
The Leader noticed that and couldn’t be any happier! Their opponent who caused so much trouble for them was finally taken care of.
Though he couldn’t believe it was this easy and there were still some doubts and suspicions towards Narukami.
There is no way Sixth is this easy to catch! If so, All Beyond would’ve captured him a long time ago! The Leader said inwardly as he was alerted.
He chose to wait for five minutes and Narukami was catching his breath. His injuries were not light and one could see part of his flesh was torn apart because of the strong attacks.
These mummies only use bare hands and kicks that even a Level 8 Sorcerer was heavily injured!
The Leader was halfway convinced as he saw Narukami’s situation.
Inwardly, Narukami praised himself for just how talented he was in acting and it would only be a matter of time before he reached the top of the acting industry.
Jokes aside, he had to admit though, these attacks from the mummies could kill him if not for the fact the spiritual energy protected him.
He also silently healed internal injuries such as broken ribs, internal bleeding, and injuries on his internal organs.
“Hmph, it seems I overestimated you, and All Beyond is not much better. To think you could be easily beaten,” the Leader coldly snorted as he cautiously approached Narukami.
He was a bit anxious in this entire fight as he did not know much about the other party. He watched it himself that Narukami had killed the dragon Anomaly single-handedly so people could gauge his strength and make speculation how strong he was.
The Leader did not feel like luck came into play. He alone had faced that dragon Anomaly even before the organization found Its existence and he had no choice but to retreat!
Narukami then said to himself, if I say that it’s purely on luck, will he believe me?
He wasn’t lying. There was one of the techniques Narukami found in his ancestor’s library and this attack solely relied on luck!
Narukami felt it was interesting so he learned it.
Well, if this was a video game. It’d be like this:
[Luck That Could Topple Down The City!]
Increased chances to trigger massive damage (Super Critical Damage) on your opponent. Chance of triggering, 0.01%*Luck.
This ability was a passive one so Narukami felt like he was struck gold.
Of course, he can’t see attributes like video game characters but that does not mean items could not.
His ancestor invented a tool that allowed him to see his attributes and the abilities he learned.
“Aren’t you satisfied now? Bullying the young? L,” Narukami smirked. He did not find it embarrassing. It was quite normal and he should be praised instead.
As far as Narukami was concerned, no one lasted a minute when they faced the Leader and Narukami understood the reason behind it.
Aside from these mummies, the Leader had yet to show his true strength but it was already this strong.
Even though the Leader did say he would not hold back, he was still holding back to a certain, for he was afraid of killing Narukami.
“The young?” The Leader’s mouth twitched as he recalled where he felt like a brat being bullied by an elder but since it came to this point, that feeling disappeared and he was mad in joy.
How could he not? He caught Sixth! A mysterious figure who proved to be troublesome to the major organizations.
He felt superior for some reason and proud. Of course, he could not show this on the surface.
His face was calm. The alertness was still there but not much. He subconsciously lowered his guard down as he saw Narukami did not do anything and he simply stared at him with a smile.
Although that smile made him restless, the Leader was confident he had already defeated Narukami just by his state alone.
Injuries, weak life force and could die at any moment. He was in control of the person’s fate!
“Cut to the chase, serve me or die painfully.”
The Leader wasn’t someone who loved to chit-chat with his opponents. As it could give them the time to prepare.
“What do you take me for? A fool? Do you think words are enough?” Narukami asked.
Since the Leader chose to negotiate with him. There must be a reason and he was curious before ending the Leader.
The latter was close to him. Deploying a sneak yet deathly attack would be easy but he wouldn’t know until he tried it.
After all, the person before him was someone in Level 10! They had many tricks under their sleeves.
Anyway, words that simple were enough to convince him. He probably died in the first world of his reincarnation.
That world was… quite chaotic and filled with lies, deception, and trust was no different than a diamond, exceeding that if not.
Thinking about the past, he felt melancholic but he quickly put that aside.
“What do you want? Resources? Strength? Wealth? Achieving your goal?” The Leader asked.
Narukami put on a pondering expression before replying with a cold smile, “Your life!”
