640 The Monsters Real Strength (2/2)
...
The exciting music made everybody shiver uncontrollably, but Natasha suddenly pressed the keys hard, resulting in an unharmonious noise. Then, she picked up 'Pale Justice' and walked out of the magic tower firmly.
I don't need to finish it to know what I should do!
Until it is over, I should practice, practice, and practice! Even though the chances are one thousandth, I should still strive for it! Weakness and desperation are pointless!
...
The silver longsword cut the monster like a crescent moon. The gaps of void soon tore it apart, but very soon, the pieces were regathered into a twisted shape of a human, who mocked wickedly, ”As expected of the Sword of Truth. It's a shame that you are only a level-three. If it were a knight with the blood power of 'Sword of Truth' at the peak of legendary who attacked me, I might have perished just now. It's a shame that you are not.”
At some point, a small, neat black bow appeared in Rhine's hands, and a bloody broken arrow had been placed on it.
After he drew the bow, the bloody broken arrow was shot out with the intense air of destruction.
The monster stopped laughing and said in a low voice, ”Space Protection!”
Many overlapping spaces seemed to have appeared next to the monster. After passing a lot of them, the broken arrow finally disappeared into the void.
”Not bad. As expected of the Observe with an abundant collection. I didn't know that Malhanu's destructive bow was in your hands.” The monster praised. ”However, you forgot that I only said that top legends might've hurt me. I didn't say that they could certainly hurt me. Hahaha. How about it? Isn't it very fun?”
Malhanu's Bow was a top legendary item known as 'Godslayer', but it had a high requirement on the user. After Rhine shot the arrow, the blood all over his body seemed to have been drained. He became dry and slim.
”Godslayer's Arrow, I'm capable of that, too!” The monster launched another attack. A bloody broken arrow flew out of its hands and shot at Lucien who was protecting Rhine with the Shield of Truth.
When the bloody broken array hit the Shield of Truth, it dissolved the illusionary waves immediately, as if it had knocked down a whole world!
As the unimaginable pressure came at him, Lucien could not hold the Shield of Truth anymore. He was blown away into one of the grey rooms.
...
Inside 'Atomic Universe', Natasha, holing 'Pale Justice', was fighting in the cosmos with the planets of elements as her imaginary enemies. Beads of sweat dripped off her forehead, reached her eyes, and fell from her cheeks.
As she slashed her swords out, terrifying gaps appeared on the planets.
Natasha did not shout to vent her fury after her every attack. Instead, all of her feelings, determination and blood power were melted into her attacks.
You ask me if I will waver?
You ask me if I will give up?
You ask me if I am desperate?
My longsword will give you answers!
...
”If your Shield of Truth had reached the level of 'God's Guard', my previous attack would've been in vain, but it's a pity that you are not Mecantron. Now, have you gained a full understanding about your insignificance and uselessness?” The monster mocked.
Lucien fell on the floor. Before him was the pit where Sard died just now. He almost slid and dropped to the bottom of it.
The magic circles around emitted cold brilliance and circulated just like before, as if no battles were going on at all.
”Sard died here just now. Are we also going to…” Lucien had a terrible feeling. The monster's intentional heavy thudding seemed to be reminding them of the arrival of death.
”It's great that the monster likes talking and tricking people, or we would've died after the first attack.” Lucien held back his ominous feeling and looked for a chance of survival from that aspect.
If you want to play, we will play with you!
Thinking hard, Lucien's eyes were suddenly frozen. At the bottom of the pit where Sard died, the head of a puppet had appeared at some point.
”It wasn't here before…”
Sard's death…
The paper scraps and the puppet parts that they had obtained easily…
Maskelyne's undestroyed notebook…
The coincidental encounter with 'Mountain Paradise'…
The experiment logs in the laboratory…
After he saw the puppet head, all of Lucien's questions surged out and got connected. A lightning struck in his head and illuminated everything.
Laughing, the monster walked to Lucien and Rhine. ”What now? You've given up resisting? You're desperate now?”
Lucien stood up. As if he were faced with not a demigod but a dog, he cleaned his bow-tie and his suit while he smiled, ”Why would I resist?”
Rhine looked at him curiously. The monster also stopped and sneered, ”Where's your fighting will and your resolution a moment ago?”
Pressing his chest with his right hand, Lucien bowed:
”Sometimes, the enemy we think may turn out to be our best ally.”
”Thank you for preserving the experiment logs, the magic notebook and the puppet parts.”
The monster's laughter stopped.
