The Arcadia System - Chapter 244

An arrow flew in the air like a cannonball. Its direction was aimed at the Red Knight and the destructive potential it carried was nothing small at all.

The Red Knight blocked the arrow with one of his hands. His quick action allowed Reve to slip away from his hold and distance himself.

Reve wheezed with heavy breaths.

He looked in the direction where the arrow that saved his life came from. He couldn’t see anyone there.

Being naturally curious as to who it was, he kept on looking.

Suddenly, his senses picked up on a unique change of environment.

“Good. Good. Good. Another pest! Show yourself!”

The raging knight was livid and his veins were visible.

From an opposite direction, an arrow came at him. He blocked it with a side slash.

The Knight noticed something, “Come here now!”

He pursued the fleeting Kimon. His speed inched him closer and closer until Kimon was within his hand’s reach.

Out of nowhere, something invisible threw him off course!

He had failed to sense it in time, but it didn’t matter to him. Those petty tricks of Kimon were of no consequence to him.

Kimon zoomed past the group of entrance guards as they stood stupefied by the current scene.

Not long after, the Red Knight also crossed the entrance.

He was alert this time so when the invisible force barriers came for him, he evaded them perfectly.

Yet, this Kimon was so slippery to catch.

It was nighttime so the streets were empty, but Kimon’s movements were too deliberated. The Knight quickly picked on his plan to hide in a crowded region.

He increased his speed and soon got inches away from Kimon.

Before Kimon could fling a surprise kick, the knight revealed a disturbing smile.

“No more playing!”

His glaive brightened and he shot out a sharp beam of energy at Kimon. He had purposely waited until he got close to the latter!

The sharp attack created another hole in Kimon’s body. However, the latter didn’t seem to pay attention to it.

Or rather, he wasn’t in a position to pay attention!

In a span of five seconds, a large array of similar sharp spirit energy in the form of glaives materialized, with him at the center of their formation.

They were unleashed rather quickly, with no time to waste.

Kimon’s feet rose high above the ground as he danced around the onslaught of attacks. Every time it seemed like death would claim him, he would slip away in just the right time, only bearing enough injury to keep on moving.

‘Ahhh. I can’t stop!’ Reve was determined.

Stopping meant death. Death meant an end to all his goals.

As this thought circulated in his head, his body stats heightened to their limits and his mind fully captured all incoming attacks. His current state was perfect as he became aware of everything

However, it proved to be futile.

Some things can just be evaded!

Soon, a large glaive embedded into his guts. His blood spilled onto the ground.

There was a look of pain flashing in his eyes.

Before he could remove the glaive, another glaive gutted his limbs and one stopped just in front of his head.

While on the ground, he could hear the footsteps of the knight moving closer to him.

Reve entered a panic mode as he thought, “Fucking Elementalist. Why do they always have practical abilities?”

He was going to be dead if he did nothing!

Immediately he received the first sign of his healing factor, Reve pushed the first glaive away from his right hand, before bending his head away from the attack of the “head glaive”.

Getting up, the figure of the red knight appeared in his view.

He hadn’t noticed when the knight stopped walking, but at this moment, a look of shock donned on Reve’s face as he spotted the knight’s glaive.

It was glowing with energy. An orb ejected out of glaive towards Reve.

It hit Reve and created an explosion that flattened all the buildings around. Luckily, there was no residential home here, which was probably why the knight went forwards with his plans

After the explosion subsidized, the knight walked forward.

He had a gleeful look on his face as he spoke. “Such a monster. A normal person would have died yet, I don’t understand what the source behind your tenacity is. You walk on a path neither magic nor aura.”

Wavering in his steps, Reve mocked, “I guess this is it, huh?”

His psi-force was almost depleted. He had enough for just one round of attack.

He could use his magi but it wasn’t an option.

The only thing worse than a dead Kimon was an alive Kimon tied to the identity of Reve of Azea. Moreover, it wouldn’t guarantee his survival.

It would merely add 5 percent to his current 15 percent chance of survival.

“Yes, it is over. You fought well,” lauded the knight.

He made a strange handsign and the surroundings change.

A low whisper came out of his lips, “[Domain Grand Skill: Polarity Dome]!”

His aura expanded wide until his 180 ft radius was covered by his aura.

Reve paid attention to his every move. He was ready to burst out his last struggle, but he needed the right time to do so.

“[Supreme Beckon]!”

With a thrust of his hand, Reve mysteriously flew towards the knight involuntarily.

“[Supreme Appoint]!”

Afterward, the same mysteriously force bound Reve to the ground. No matter how he tried to free himself, there seemed to be something forcing him down.

Even with his Nexus Eye, he could see nothing, which gave him an idea of what the mysterious force actually was but he couldn’t act on it for now.

“Any last words.” The knight asked. On his hand was a magical rope which he planned to use on Reve

Reve smiled after he came to a decision, “Have you heard a psychic scream?”

“Huh?”

“Don’t worry. I shall give you your first experience.”

Then, he unleashed it.

It was stated that those who walked on the path of secret were unstable. This instability peaked when in emotional turmoil and it could claim their lives.

Right now, Reve expressed his anger by screaming out loud like a banshee from folklore.

Apart from his terrible high pitch, many telekinetic ripples swam around him. They slammed the Red Knight away, creating a protective dome around Reve.

The figure of the knight was like a shooting star without no direction.

One minute later, Reve opened his eyes. He saw destruction everywhere.

His mind was groggy but he forced himself to stand up.

He slipped.

He stood up again.

He slipped.

As he continuously dragged his body away from the scene, a warmth covered him. He found himself carried by someone.

His paranoid self could only finally rest after he heard a voice.

“You can leave it all to me now, Reve.”

Finally, his eyes closed.
