Septem - Chapter 48 Guardian Battle
Yosep’s POV
*Whosshh.. Whoosshh Whooss* only a sound of wind that can be hear after my spell being casted. Not even scream sound can be heard. From my 3D radar, I know that my spells that was compacted into a grain of rice and buffed with numerous of silent spell, already hit each of head’s target without making any sound.
Without any delay, I move from my position to look my prey’s condition. It took a moment since the place is more than kilometers away. During the way, I also coat my body with aura and make my presence disappear. Now, even if there is a guardian in front me, they will not notice me unless I make some commotion. However, this technique also take constant of my mental strength and can’t be used all time in my current body condition.
Shortly, I arrive at the scene where twelve people lying down and unconscious with opened eyes. I approach to one of the people from the spies group. He wears a full battle armor. I pay attention to his surround that has scattered a lot of enchantment equipment with various of life saving enchantment. From my experience with enchantment equipment, these kind of things will be active automatically when there is life-threating situation.
Fortunately, my spell also imbued with seven-star paralyzed spell and make the guy cannot move even he survived my shot through his brain. I will also not notice that he is still alive if not from the short distance. However, thanks to my precaution to cover my body with aura, he can’t detect me even now I am next to him.
I point my finger to him and shot couple of similar spell through his brain. After checking he is dead with the rest of their group, I immediately chanting some ancient curses from Envy’s technique to bind their soul in their body.
From Envy’s memories, a soul will have about 15 to 30 minute to pass away from their body. As a master in soul art, Envy can bind the dead soul in their respected body as long as they are not passed away yet. Which make me think, if he used his art when I passed away from Earth, we will likely to still alive.
I brushed this unnecessary thought immediately and focus at my current task. Devour souls is very delicate action that one wrong move can even hurt or extinguish our own soul. Unlike consume half of the soul that I did to Luna, devour entirely of soul has a small chance for the targeted soul to fight back and extinguish my own soul.
Then, I chanted another cursed art next to one of them. Shortly, a small ball with light in the size of pea, come out from his body and enter to my body. The moment it enters my body, I feel like electrified and burst of the memory from the soul. But, I calm down my breath immediately in just a moment and deals with all the memory later. I do all this to other bodies and leave the guy with various of life saving equipment for the last one.
From their memory soul, I knew a little bit that this guys from the necros organization and the guy with life-saving tools is their high ranking member. Since they expert in the art soul, there is a chance that their high ranking member know how to fight back when their soul being devoured.
If it is before I retain my previous aura technique, they may still have chance. But, now there are like a sheep that need waiting to be slaughter. Still it will quite effort to devour his soul, moreover he is aged more than one hundred years and also already devour some soul to prolongs his life span.
I unconcealed my aura and apply it to my hand. Shortly, it changes into black color. Then, I took out the soul with some cursed chant like I did to others. Rather than a ball of light, the one that come out is a ghost with full body appearance of this high ranking member.
The ghost starts to wailing in eerie voice “Kekeke, I don’t who you ar” Suddenly, I jab the ghost with my black color hand before let he can do anything into his ghost body.
Startled with my sudden action, “Impossible No.. No” he keeps wailing loudly and turn to ball light of soul without any shred of self-conscious left in it.
Then, I gulp it and much it like some food with mocha texture. I release my coating aura and breath out. As I predicted, using all this high level aura technique in my current condition really taxing my body physically and mentally. Even in my previous life, I could only master all this technique after training more than five years.
Without wasting anymore time, I go from my place silently back to the main area since all my plan already successful fulfilled. But, rather than go to the battle competition area, I go to the healing competition arena and search for Eve. Now, all I want to do is teasing my cute Eve and rest beside her since I know Hilbert will just win without any obstacle.
Third Person POV
During the time Yosep sneaking around the library, at the place underground near the center of academy, there a massive door and in front of it there are some group of people. One of the group is in black attire with hooded cloak and the other group that consist only two people. However, despite the lack of number these two people look the other party calmly.
“Hohoho, isn’t it the famous behemoth organization that always bring destruction no matter where they go, right Nero?” as the one with appearance of old man with long white beard ask to his partner leisurely.
“Nya sure it is, well no matter what they plan. they already take wrong place to barge in, Nya.” As the partner who has the appearance of half cat and man replied.
As soon as he done replied, he is gone and attack the other group. But, before he can cut one of the member of dark organization, his attack stopped by other party member who has appearance of woman with black hair that using a dagger.
Shortly, after their first trading blow both of them disappear because of their fast movement and leaving only sound of battle behind. Then, they start to focus on their own battle while ignore the others.
“Hoo as expected of Nero the black cat to catch up with one of my subordinate.” Said the leader of the black hooded group who also reveal himself.
“Hohoho, isn’t it the famous ‘destroyer’ from the behemoth group?” as the old man recognize the leader.
“To think that even Anthony Dore, ‘the saint wizard’, know about me. It is truly an honor.” Replied the other party with smirk.
“Hohoho, spare this old man that just a title from a long time ago. Now, I am just a humble of old principle who like to play with children.” As the old man give a smile of grandfatherly look.
However, at this moment the group from the behemoth curse the old man since all of them being pressurize by the mageforce the old man release except their leader who seems don’t feel anything.
“Cut the crap old man, give me the gem of chaos and there will be no more trouble.” As the destroyer release his own mageforce and make the whole room tremor.
“The gem of chaos is an evil artifact from the Evil God, I believe I can’t give you that young man.” As the old man replied leisurely and ignore the tremor.
“I see, then I will get it from your corpse.” As the destroyer cast a barrage of huge fireballs spell to the old man instantly
Looking at the fireballs, Anthony waved his staff and all of them dispersed into thin air like it never exist. Suddenly, the destroyer taps his hand into the ground and numerous spike made from dirt from all direction attack the old man. With his staff, the old man stomps it to the ground and the spike dispersed return to normal ground.
All this exchange happens few times, only end up with the saint cancel the others magic. Left with enrage, the destroyer begins to prepare casting a high level star spell in large scale. He ordered some of his men to cover him.
Notice the fluctuation of mageforce, the old man become serious and try to interrupt it. However, the other behemoth member also attacks with their own spell to delay the saint wizard.
Shortly, The destroyer end his spell and shout, “Rise the rage demon and slaughter all.” At this moment appear the magic diagram on the ground and from it arise giant horned creature with fiery skin. *ROOAARR*
