The Demon Against The Heavens - 201 A Fantastic Intuition

“He killed Aiako!” people shouted from the stands.

“How the hell did he do it!”

Achilles’s Flaming Throw was not yet at the Master rank, since it was a very deep and difficult Skill to learn. It was already a miracle that Helial had managed to raise it to level 19.

Having being thought that Skill by Alexander himself, it was easy to imagine how terrifying his attack was.

Cesar sprang to his feet, ecstatic. He grabbed the grandstand railing, leaving the mark of fingertips on the marble.

Crispio shook his head: “This time the King really had a fantastic intuition.”

Big and Guiccia remained silent to reflect on Helial’s move. Although neither of them was at Cesar and Crispio’s level, they were both powerful and wise enough to understand what was going on inside the Colosseum.

Atlanta and Margherita did not panic and, furious at the loss of Aiako, suddenly attacked Helial, forgetting that the young man’s companions were not in the arena just for show.

Atlanta shot an arrow with the utmost precision, but its course was suddenly blocked by a shield appeared out of nowhere.

Not only had Shield of the Titan reached Master Rank, but the constant battles against Iblis within Illusions that endangered her life every second had allowed Lumia to discover a new nuance in that Skill.

By aggregating all the Mana in a specific point and making it the core of the shield, the defensive power was not only increased dramatically, but the consumption of Mana dropped proportionately.

In comparison with the experience of Iblis’ tyrannical attacks, which had broken her defences over and over again, the arrow just shot from Atlanta did not seem different from a gnat sting, for Lumia.

Although Lumia was only in the Late stage of the Second Phase, her control over Mana and her Skills had reached a terrifying level.

Atlanta’s arrow struck Shield of the Titan and disintegrated without leaving the slightest damage on it.

The archer watched the arrow shatter with disbelief and the shield remain motionless and unharmed. There was not even a scratch on it.

It was then that Margherita gritted her teeth and threw three metal spheres into the air as she began to recite different formulas. The metal spheres began to glow dangerously and gave off terrifying pressure.

A few moments later, there was nothing left of those spheres. Three arrows had reached and pulverized them!

Vlad looked at Margherita with a bored look, yawning, but he was chuckling silently.

Lumia’s incredible defense was the nemesis of Atlanta’s attacks and Vlad’s incredible precision and attack speed were the nemesis of Margherita’s devices!

Helial had been really shrewd, he had planned everything perfectly!

Medusa’s companions were all in the Initial stage of the Third Phase and could easily have crushed a group of kids in the Second Phase, led by a reckless one who was still blocked at the First Phase, but at that moment it seemed that they had collided head-on with an indestructible metal plate.

What kind of situation was that? Was the Team of the Keepers of the Firmament too weak to deal with a handful of ants?

Of course not!

Their enemies had exploited all their weaknesses, including arrogance, to immediately reverse the predictions for the clash.

And now, not only had the Team of the Keepers of the Firmament lost one of its pillars, but it also looked like it was doomed to defeat.

Helial, after tearing Aiako to pieces, did not get carried away with complacency and immediately jumped towards Ceni.

“Frankenstein! Block her right and left, now!” Screamed Helial at the top of his voice.

Atlanta and Margherita were dealing with Lumia and Vlad, unable to intervene in the clash.

Snowflake, meanwhile, was the one feeling the greatest pressure. Although his speed was truly terrifying, Medusa was no ordinary warrior.

“I finally unlocked that shitty Devil’s skill, let’s see how capable you are, DYKE!” Murmured Snowflake, raising his voice as he said the last word of the sentence, so that Medusa could hear it too.

Skill Activated:

Authority of the Tyrant

??

Lv: 1

Although Snowflake had finally touched its basic level, he was still far from mastering that Skill. The Devil had wanted to make his life really difficult when he had given him that gift! Despite this, Snowflake was aware of how powerful Authority of the Tyrant was and had tried to train it as much as possible.

Typically, Movement Skills were based on the circulation of Mana in the limbs. In contrast, Authority of the Tyrant used all Meridians in the body to generate a terrifying Aura.

The principle behind the Skill was actually quite simple.

Authority of the Tyrant allowed the user to disappear at the last second, just before being hit, and launch a deadly counterattack. It was a Skill born from Iblis’s arrogance and sense of absolute superiority. Therefore, in order to use it, in addition to incredible physical requirements, a certain mood was necessary. Snowflake knew that if his mental stability faltered during the confrontation, if he began to doubt, the Skill would not be able to show his true potential.

It was such a profound and mysterious Skill that no matter how well the Mana circulated within his Meridians, without enough meditation and Illuminations about it, no one could ever have exploited even only 1% of it.

To understand how powerful Authority of the Tyrant really was, it was enough to think that Snowflake, after training without stopping, had managed to conquer only the first level and was not even able to see its characteristics.

Medusa’s Chakrams came a step away from the cat, which had remained strangely still.

All the spectators gasped and began to raise their hands to shelter themselves from the splashes of blood that would soon arrive. The cat was a lunatic; he had remained motionless and would now be torn to pieces.

How was it possible that the blades had not cut even a single tuft of that cat’s raggedy fur, despite having passed so dangerously close to him?!

Increasingly furious, Medusa again launched the Chakrams, which… passed through Snowflake’s body!

Medusa frowned.

“A residual image,” she growled.

Anger and frustration mounted in her body more and more: not only Aiako, the best fighter of her group after her, had been killed with embarrassing ease, and not only her dignity had been humiliated with words worthy only of Orma’s most sordid slums, but now she, one of the heirs of the Sect of the Excellent, could not even succeed in killing that damned cat!

In fury, Medusa glanced at the battlefield and realized that the others were all at a disadvantage. And the fight hadn’t been lasting more than five minutes!

The young woman regained her calm and decided to postpone her revenge. Completely ignoring the cat completely, who seemed to have disappeared in mid-air, she launched herself against Helial like a lioness.

But as soon as she turned her back, she saw a blinding light out of the corner of her eye.

“Damn it,” Medusa turned suddenly, blocking Snowflake’s surprise attack. If she hadn’t turned to defend herself, she probably would have suffered a lot of damage.

In a direct confrontation, Snowflake had no hope of beating her. Still, Medusa didn’t have a high defense, so a surprise attack by that cursed cat could have hurt her more or less seriously.

The worst part was that if she wanted to get rid of that beast, it would take a long time. Snowflake’s speed had really left Medusa speechless.
