Chapter 99: Broken Wheel (1/2)
<You've defeated Linda, not only physically but also mentally. You've gained the right to extract the essence of life from her body. You've shown your enemy the might and horror of the Challenger! You've fulfilled the hidden condition to unlock the first fragment of the seal of the stealer>
<Seal of Stealer forefinger Fragment: One of the five parts of an item that one can use to forcefully change their destiny>
<The item is stored in the subspace>
Elliot felt curious about it, but he wouldn't know what kind of power it provides until he collects the other four fragments. The thing was, he didn't know anything about the conditions he needed to fulfill to get them.
Since it was useless to him right now, he kicked all thoughts related to it to the back of his head before saying the keywords to extract a harmful amount of life force from Linda, but not enough for her to rapidly age and gain wrinkles and white hair.
<You've gained 150 units of the essence of life>
Elliot nodded with a partially satisfied look on his face before he converted the enchantment on his hand back into the essence of life. The golden glow and the hexagonal tattoos on his hand vanished, turning into wisps of energy that seeped inside his palm.
<You've converted the enchantment of protection and energy manipulation into 450 units of the essence of life>
”So, where were we?” He turned to look at his surroundings with a look of wonderment on his face.
”You actually hit her?” Many beta males were surprised to see that Elliot slapped a beautiful woman hard on the face, and they couldn't help but look at him in disbelief.
Elliot looked at them, then retorted, ”Never seen a man that believes in equivalence between men and women, huh?”
The beta males looked away in defeat as they didn't want to get on his nerves.
Elliot turned towards Linda's friends, looking at them with unfriendly eyes before saying, ”Do I need to give you guys an invitation for you to move your asses off this stage?”
”Why us?” One of Linda's friends asked in a shocked voice.
”Just because you're her friends,” Elliot said, clearly telling them that he is going after them because they were friendly with Linda.
They cursed Linda in her mind before one of them said, ”We have nothing to do with her, I promise! We don't even think of someone like her as our friend. So, can you please not force us off?”
Elliot shook his head in disappointment after hearing her words.
”Looks like you guys are donkeys who can't understand human speech,” Elliot said as large waves of golden energy burst out of his body, permeating the surroundings as they charged above his head before twirling around each other and taking the form of a gigantic hand whose shadow shaded Linda's friend.
The eyes of Linda's friend twitched when they felt how weak they were in front of this overpowering magician in the magical realm.
”What kinda superpower does this demon even possess?!”
”Damn! It would be bad if he drops that on us.”
