Episode 112 – True Agony

Previously:

The day of the practical exae arena created by the Replica Dungeon Nelaira tricks Deora into attacking the Rroda brothers, and Deora ends up pursuing Kiel with a barrage of fireballs Kiel runs away, dodging the fireballs, however, Deora es to hit him with an explosive airball Kiel loses his consciousness and re house as a child After waking up he gets into a life and death situation that makes him overcome his fear of fire and launch a counter attack on Deora Hehiht, Rhur finished Nelaira off in a fit of rage Kieloint they are nohi and Kiel morphs an earth shi+eld to protect himself

As the earth do in Kiel’s eyes, he concentrated on hisRhur’s position

He couldn’t stay inside his earth shi+eld for long, it lowered hisit easier for Rhur to surround him by Sparkbloom petals

Unfortunately, earth was currently the only

If this lightning was conjured by an elibu, Kiel could create an area of vacuum to protect himself The electricity conjured by an elibu wouldn’t be able to pass through materials with very low conductivity

However, the sa on the properties of conductivity to propagate the lightning He was directly forcing electrons to h Acceleration

To hi in the way so not only would creating an area of vacuum not protect Kiel, it would actually help out Rhur

And thus, Kiel had no other choice but to put his carefully weaved spell into action early

Rhur’s electric snakes that had been drilling into Kiel’s shi+eld abruptly stopped

Kiel couldn’t see how Rhur’s diamond shaped pupils widened in shock, but he could feel hi to the left quite clearly His body probably moved on instinct because the reaction was quite abrupt

His instincts were quite correct, for a moment later, an invisible several h the place he had been previously

Even though Rhur ed to avoid the brunt of the attack, since the size of the air blade was quite large, the leg of the X still ed to hit Rhur squarely in the chest

For a ed to sneak an attack on him

But then he realized that what he had been hit asn’t a spatial blade, for he was able to feel the changes in the airflow just before it hit

Kiel had used the Morph spell on the air to condense a dense X-shaped construct, then he reinforced it, locking the position of air particles to turn the air solid Lastly, he accelerated it towards Rhur creating an airblast sharp enough to cut a person in half

Kiel figured if Zor could control space to cut dohy couldn’t he control the air to do the same?

However, concealing a spell took Kiel considerable time and effort, and this hy he aimed to buy time with his previous attacks

The force of the slash caused Rhur to fly backward like an arrow, lacerating his entire upper body, shredding his shi+rt into pieces

All of the lightning snakes attacking Kiel vanished into thin air

Rhur’s body, which Kiel felt with his

There were no suspicious fluctuations of mana either

The bloodlust that had been seeping from Rhur’s body evaporated, the density of mana in his vicinity slowly decreased

All signs pointed to Rhur being either unconscious or dead

Kielto see whether Rhur was indeed disposed of Logically speaking, that slash should have been enough to shred Rhur’s organs intoas he didn’t see it with his oo eyes, he would not assume him as dead

Unfortunately, he couldn’t see anything The dust his air blade had rose covered up his vision,him unable to see the state of Rhur’s body

To prevent Rhur’s sudden rise from the dead, Kiel intended to i his round around Rhur

What folloas a volley of earth spikes which aih, and shoulders Besides the movement caused by the sudden eruption of spikes, Rhur’s body didn’t move at all

Rhur’s body lay there immovable, impaled by several earth spikes

As the sound of blood dripping reached Kiel’s ears, he finally let out a breath of relief and dispelled his earth shi+eld

Kielto take away his sword

He still had Zor to fight, and any donations to his arsenal would be greatly appreciated

Just as Kiel entered Rhur’s vicinity, abruptly, there was a bright blue flash

A web of lightning descended covering the entire area around Rhur, with him in its center

The lightning appeared far too fast, far too unexpected It was soe, let alone Kiel

Kiel’s ister what happened before he was hit with absolute agony

His entire body went rigid, writhing painfully on the floor

His jaw stiffened

He couldn’t even scream

His everymillisecond seemed like an eternity of torment

Kiel’s mind went blank

He couldn’t even foric

As the dust cleared, Rhur’sform

He stood suspended in the air by Kiel’s spikes

His shi+rt had disappeared, revealing Rhur’s finely sculpted chest

Yet, his upper body was neither naked nor bloody

What aze was not skin, not blood, but the blue metallic sheen of mythril

Rhur’s entire chest was covered in a skin-tight flexible suit of mythril armor!

The spikes aiood punch, not penetrating through the armor at all

Blood flowed down the corner of Rhur’s mouth, yet Rhur still continued to smile, as if to mock him

This was the disparity between the first-born son and a bastard child

While Kiel’s pockets were al mythril

Kiel’s abilities weren’t above Rhur’s to begin with, let alone if Rhur’s were amplified by the finest items money could buy

Rhur continued to stare unblinkingly at Kiel while he accelerated his body upwards, away frohs

He didn’tKiel even more than his words could

Rhur went as far to play dead, he willingly let hiet a chance to unleash that one sure hit attack He had concealed both his spell weaving and his aura to h he had fainted, like his bloodlust dissipated

But his bloodlust didn’t disappear at all

It was still there, assaulting Kiel’ssense of dread and hopelessness

Nothing spoke more clearly of Rhur’s hatred for Kiel than the fact that he illing to let hiher price

He leisurelyoff the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb

Then he licked the blood off his thuesture
