Tower Ascension - Chapter 71

After the explosion died, Peter was still standing at the same place with his body blasted with flames. Even Camellia was frowning after seeing his body. Peter clearly had a good chance to escape but he didn’t instead he stayed inside the flames.

His HP went down by half while everyone else was incinerated by the flames. That much powerful the flame was. A soon as he received the blessing from Dying Divine Breath, Peter turned his head at Morgan who had recovered completely.

Morgan also stared at Peter. He recognized Peter but he didn’t understand why Peter was this strong. Everything within the building was burned to crisp, everyone in the surroundings was running for their lives.

“Peter Johnson! We suggest you hold down your power.” Suddenly, a few people appeared in the sky and shouted. Peter raised his head and saw the album of the council on them. He withdrew his gaze and pushed all of his power in his foot.

Whoosh!

In an instant, he appeared in front of Morgan. Even Morgan was surprised by his speed but he quickly reacted as he condensed a huge shield of blood.

Bang!

Peter’s power shook his body as the cracks started appearing on the shield after the collision. Suddenly, the driver rushed towards Peter with a punch but Peter simply took a step back and dodged it. The sword in his hand raised and sliced his arm.

Splash!

But suddenly, seven different lances made out of blood appeared in the sky. They surrounded Peter and moved towards him with an insane speed.

“Morgan Scott! Cease your attacks!”

Suddenly, the people in mid-air shouted as they formed a giant wall of ice around Peter. But suddenly, a red blade slashed out of the ice and Peter looked to the sky. He gripped his sword and instantly swings it.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Seven different red blades burst out of his sword edge and slashed the blood lances. When those lances fell apart, Peter raised his sword at those men and spoke “Don’t interfere!”

Hearing his words, those men’s expressions changed. They had already seen Peter killing many Platinum Rank Soul Defenders in just a single attack. They knew they can’t mess up with him. At this moment, Peter was full of killing intent.

After threatening those men from the council, he turned his head at Morgan and rushed towards him. At this moment, Morgan bites his finger and a drop of blood fell on the air.

“Vampire Secret Art- Blood Sacrificing Sword!”

Morgan raised the tip of the blood sword at Peter and shot it. Seeing, Peter condensed his sword energy around the sword while rushing towards Morgan. While running, he suddenly stopped his foot and his upper body jerked forward.

Using this momentum, he stabbed his sword towards those men with incredible speed.

“Advance Sword Skill- Instant Death!”

His sword released a thin layer of impact condensed with sword energy. The sword energy had condensed into a small needle. It seems harmless but with all that sword energy condensed into a small needle, its power has increased to a completely unknown level.

Bang!

The needle moved with incredible strength and blew away the blood sword but before it reached Morgan, it disappeared in thin air like it’s nothing.

At this moment, Peter took a huge step with his incredible strength and covered dozens of meters. As soon as he reached in front of Morgan, he slashed his sword even before Morgan could counterattack. But, Morgan did form a strong arm around his body and blocked the sword strike.

Bang! Crack! Crack!

His sword pressed against the armor with a massive force and started breaking it into pieces. As the armor broke, Morgan became the target of the sword. Unfortunately, it had all of its momentum and Peter couldn’t use more force in the middle of the attack.

Splash!

His sword slashed Morgan’s chest, making him retreat a few meters. Peter withdrew his sword but before he could attack again, a huge force pressed against him.

“Peter Johnson, are you ignoring the words of council?” A man with the sword on his waist walked towards him as he spoke. There was a deep seriousness in his voice.

Peter turned his head and looked at the man. From the aura alone, he could guess the rank of this person. But, would he give up? Peter pressed his foot against the ground and rushed towards Morgan, completely ignoring the pressure.

A white armor covered his body. With the white armor, he reached in front of Morgan even before the man with a sword could see. At the same time, he also injected a massive amount of sword energy into his sword.

When Morgan heard that voice stopping Peter, he started healing his wound without the care of the world. After all, he didn’t think Peter would take action in the presence of the core members of the council.

Splash!

Before he could think of anything, Peter’s sword sliced his head. As the head fell on the ground, Morgan’s eyes were left to widen like the window. He didn’t know what just happened but he knew he was dead.

Peter was too fast for him to react especially with his armor enhancing his speed. When the man with the sword reacted, he looked at the headless body with confusion. He didn’t understand what just happened but when he knew the headless body means new trouble.

“MORGAN!”

At this moment, the space around them trembled and a sudden man appeared near the morgan’s body. When he saw the body, his eyes widen and tears fell down his cheeks. Slowly, he raised his head and saw Peter retreating.

His eyes turned red and the blood started pouring out. The next moment, he raised his hand and a blood sword pierced Peter’s stomach. It was so fast that even with his speed, Peter couldn’t react. But, the next moment, he pulled out the sword and broke it.

His HP fell below thirty percent and his powers doubled.

Bang!

Theodore formed a massive palm made out of the blood and shot towards Peter. But, Peter raised his sword and compressed the immense amount of sword energy inside it. At the same time, he poured half of his internal energy into his sword.

He looked to the side and saw no one except for the man with the sword. The next moment, a smile appeared on his lips. He raised his hand and poured all of his internal energy at once. He didn’t leave spare internal energy in his body.

“Advance Sword Skill- Ultimate Sword!”

He raised his sword and slashed down. The mana and sword energy combined and formed a thin blade as it emerged out of the edge of his sword. In front of him, everything suddenly paused. Everything transformed black and white. And, the blade slashed the picture in front of him.

Bang!

The giant palm got slashed in half and the immense power emerge out of it. The power was so strong that it smashed everything away. Peter also got caught in the impact while drinking healing potions. But, he controlled himself while flying away in the air.

After all, he wanted to run away. He knew he didn’t have a chance to survive if he keeps fighting.

“You can’t run away!” Theodore shouted as he looked at Peter running away using the impact. He instantly disappeared but suddenly he appeared. This time he appeared in front of the man.

Even Peter felt the pressure from this man. When he felt it, he instantly turned around and saw the man. This man was none other than Nolan. He turned his head at the man with a sword and spoke “Take him to the council!”

The man in the sword didn’t immediately follow his command rather he got a message in his head. Only then, he create a sword on-air and floats on it. Then, he dashed towards Peter and said “Follow me! If you don’t, you will die.”

At this moment, Peter had no chance. He immediately took a step on his sword which surprised the man with a sword. He didn’t think Peter would take a ride from him. After landing on it, Peter started taking more healing potions and recovering his HP.

The man with the sword sighed and instantly rushed away.

“Are you trying to declare the war on vampires, Nolan?” Theodore stared at Nolan and hoarsely spoke. His tone was full of anger. His son just died and others were protecting his son’s murderer. But, he was also confused.

Why did his son make a move now? Didn’t he say that he won’t make a move till they completely comprehend everything?

“Theodore, you know I can’t let you kill that kid. He is my disciple after all. As for going to war, do you think humans are ever afraid of dying? We survived that catastrophe, why do you think we will fear you?” Nolan spoke with immense pride.

He wasn’t an arrogant person but he did feel proud for surviving that catastrophe. Because neither vampires nor humans could comprehend the power of top fighters. If it wasn’t for the fact that they fought against each other, humanity would’ve been wiped out.

Although Nolan knows the help given by vampires, werewolves, and cultivators, they also know the reason behind that help.
