Episode 111 – Rroda Blood (2/2)

The parched earth hungrily drunk the clear red liquid

The scene was as beautiful as it was eerie, as striking as it was petrifying

Rhur Rroda, just like thenot when he frowned or spouted venomous words, but when he smiled in silence

For that s one saw

Rhur’s left arers touching the bloody hole

He shouldn’t have allowed Kiel’s sword to come so close to him

Yet, hoas he supposed to predict such an unorthodox attack?

Worst still, the s fro him rely on his mana sense to hit them However, if he wanted to accurately pinpoint the location of such small and fast items he would have to wholeheartedly concentrate on it

Yet, there was simply no time to switch his focus

It was already an incredible feat worth of adainst all projectiles but one

Yet, aders, which like pincers drilled into the red flesh, pulling out a pointy object rese a short and thick ony, neither his saze wavered He didn’t even look at the projectile before he crushed it in his palm

When Kiel had caused thethehim lose control over all metal pieces but the one on which he anchored the main spell

He had directed that one to curve around Rhur’s sword and penetrate his flesh bone deep He had attempted to make it come out on the other side, but the reinforcele until Rhur pulled it out

The h to rival Rhur’s pull Unfortunately, Kiel couldn’t feed the spell more mana since it was not only stuck deep inside Rhur’s mana arot pushed back by Rhur’s ed to pull it out, and even crush it into dust as a show of ht

This bloodthirsty side of Rhur didn’t catch Kiel by surprise

To his eneht look like a spoiled rich master

But Kiel knew better

The mask Rhur alas no thinner than Kiel’s own

On the contrary, it had even more layers

So, so many layers that even Kiel had no idea what hid underneath it all

To the outsiders, Rhur looked like a polite, entleh that facade, he appeared to be a self-centered, vindictive playboy who enjoyed toying omen

While that was, indeed, true, it was only a sh Kiel couldn’t see the whole truth, nor did he have the desire too, even an idiot could tell that a person who could pull out a bullet out of his led flesh without as much as a flinch was neither illed nor easy to deal with

Would a shrewd and nate Rhur Rroda as the future family head if he was just a pretty face, easily controlled by his desires?

Truthfully, Kiel was painfully aware that he didn’t have the ability to kill Rhur with his previous surprise attack – but his intention had never been to kill hih ti Rhur catch his breath, Kiel recast an acceleration spell on several scattered e arain

Rhur let go of his sword, but it didn’t fall towards the ground – it flew up to slice down the metal pieces He had learned from his previous mistake and this time he refused to let the metal projectiles close in on him

While his sword defended from Kiel’s attacks, Rhur cast a Velocity spell on his own flesh, controlling the cellsmuscles and skin around his wound to shi+ft position and close up the hole

This matter would have been much si this ot his hands on aartifact He had used it sohe did without erously, and suddenly a lightning snake zapped towards Kiel

Kiel, who caught Rhur’s change in expressionto the side,by a hair’s breath

However, when lightning flashed by Kiel, before it reached the wall of the arena it switched direction, like a ping-pong ball

The lightning continued to miss Kiel and then “rebound” frohis fine Multicasting ability

Soon they were arcing everywhere, covering the ground and the skies It was no longer possible for Kiel to avoid the one, let alone a whole bunch of them

Left with no other alternative, Kiel enveloped himself in an earth shi+eld he had on standby for a while now Just in time too, for not even a moment later an electric snake slammed into it
