Chapter 504: Calamity Upon The Capital [Pt 9]

~BOOOOOOOM!!!~

The rush of crimson energy descended like a fiery tempest, easily capable of devastating all in sight.

Adonis instantly recognized this.

If he used [Absolute Defense] to protect all of his friends, and also himself, it would not be sufficient to defend against the mighty assault that was to comeeven with the buff of [Limit Transcension].

He could try slicing off the energy in the air, but he had no idea where the sliced-off radiation would depart to. Either way, his friends were still at risk.

"Tch!" Tightly grabbing his blade, he made his choice.

There was only one swift move he could make in such a precocious situation.

"[AVALON]!"

A brilliant burst of multicolored light instantly appeared, bursting from Adonis' raised blade. It instantly rushed to the air, covering everything like a firmament of heaven.

Instantly, this brilliant surge of light clashed with the destructive red energy that descended.

As expected light prevailed!

~WHUUUSH!~

Adonis ascended high into the air to reach his adversaries within this short window, not wasting a single moment.

'I have no idea how they were able to avoid that blast at point-blank range, but I have to find out!'

With one powerful swing, he sent his Divine Blade hurtling towards the trio. His intention was to slice them up where they stood, but the instant he did so, they all vanished from his sight and appeared much higher than before.

"Tch! Some kind of Spatial Magic?!" He mumbled to himself in frustration, swiftly twisting his body in the air to propel himself even higher.

Like an inverse meteorite, he rose high into the air, thrusting his blade forward to destroy his foes.

"It's useless." He heard the voice of the Dragon General say, but he ignored her words.

All of his strength was poured into his straight thrust, and he moved so fast that he could not stop even if he wanted to.

The target that was all that mattered at the moment.

Then!

~VWOOOOSH!~

He was suddenly blown away by a pulse of blackish red energy, having dark hues of light that flashed within the eruption of power.

'H-huh? This this is?!' Adonis' eyes bulged as he felt his indomitable approach completely broken off.

As swiftly as he ascended to the sky, he was sent crashing back down to the ground.

In a flash, his swift descent created a massive crater on the groundshattering everything around the charred area.

~BOOOOOOOOM!~

Following the loud echo that rose from his crash, there was silence.

The Otherworlders who watched this fight of his were speechless; seeing Adonis display such incredible power, yet being bested so easily by the enemies that now slowly descended from their glorious height.

Adonis slowly rose from his desolate place, surrounded by nothing but rubble. Gold lights still flashed from him, but their glow seemed a lot duller than before.

The three Dragons floated above him, their condescending gazes directed at his lone figure. Despite all of this, though, he did not express despair.

He only furrowed his brows and made a deep frown.

"So that's it your Skill" Adonis growled as he watched the Dragon General smile haughtily at him.

"You're copying other Skills!"

*************

'What a brilliant human.' That was what Kar'en thought once she heard Adonis deduce the nature of her Skill.

Many of her foes never figured it out until they died, yet here she was, confronted with a human who deciphered it after only experiencing it a few times.

'I already guessed as much after watching how he fights and composes himself. This man is adept to battle.'

Her smile broadened as her gaze narrowed on him.

Just as Adonis predicted, Kar'en had an S-Tier Skill known as [Copy]. It allowed her to mimic the nature of any ability she saw

though it would be forcibly restricted to the Tier of her Skill.

In essence, S-Tier.

She could only copy up to ten Skills in total, and the mimicry of the Skill wouldn't be perfect. Instead, it would conform to her own abilities and nature.

"The Spatial Magic you used, you copied it from your comrade, didn't you?" Adonis asked, his eyes narrowing on her.

She felt her heart race with excitement somewhat.

'That's right. I indeed copied Ser'ith's Spatial Skill. With my higher Stats and combined with my other Skills, I can use his Skill even better than him.'

That wasone of the reasons why her subordinates and even allies feared her. It was one of the things that made her incredibly dangerous.

"What gave it away? Was it that last Skill I used?" Kar'en finally responded to Adonis, her arms folded in absolute confidence.

The last Skill she used to blow Adonis away was one that she just copied from his [AVALON]. She considered it incredibly impressive, so she forfeited one of her copied Skills and added it to her arsenal.

As a defensive Skill, it had a potency that other kinds had.

"Just so you know, I have your [Morgan] ability too." She grinned widely, raising her hand so a massive red blade appeared right in her grasp.

The blade was ten times taller than her, and it rose to the very peak of the heavens.

"I wonder" She grinned, looking down on the frowning Adonis. "... Just how much more you're willing to show me, human."

From the way things looked like, this was the end of the line.

The human's overflowing energy had dwindled drastically, and he appeared exhausted as well. Besides, even if he could escape the attack, what about the rest of his friends.

Things were looking very bad for him, and Kar'en relished that fact.

"Try surviving this!"

And so, with one casual swing the blade began its descent.
