Chapter 415 - Chapter 415: Chapter 395: Hunting the Specter Marquis (2/2)
The next moment, he coordinated with the spell “Shocks” from the “Secret Spell Lake” to destroy the encirclement. A loud boom was heard as the rigid ice burst open around Chris.
A large amount of steam filled the entire Middell family estate.
Chris had vanished into thin air — not by using invisibility or any similar ability but purely because of his incredible speed!
“Hmph, whether it’s high-speed movement or invisibility, it’s all completely meaningless to me,” he murmured.
Marquis Middell calmly raised an eyebrow as an intensely cold ice burst forth from him again, freezing the surrounding air completely in the next instant.
No matter if the opponent was moving at high speed or approaching invisibly, as long as they were within range, they would be completely frozen!
In the next instant, he “voided” from the solid ice, escaping it!
“Hmm? Did I guess wrong? He didn’t continue to pursue but retreated instead?”
At the same time, Marquis Middell knew one thing in his heart: his cousin, another extraordinary exponent of the low-level Monarch from his family, was in this city.
And she would soon activate the city’s barrier and then come to support him!
As long as he could hold out until then, the so-called “Death God” Chris would undoubtedly be doomed…
“Hehe.”
Marquis Middell swiftly contemplated in his mind.
Everyone was well aware that among the Fischer family, there were only two Monarch powerful experts, Byrne Fischer and Chris Fischer.
So, if both of them were to die, wouldn’t it be a simple matter for him to consolidate the power in the south of Cyart, and then obliterate both the Fischer family and Romann family?
“At that time, the only person who could pose a hindrance would be Aldrich Romann, that unfathomable old man whose biggest weakness is the lack of ‘a will to fight’, so he might agree to co-govern Cyart.”
At this very moment, Chris was observing the situation secretly from hundreds of meters away.
“…”
He was well aware of that void ability, as Marquis Middell, an established Monarch powerful expert, wasn’t using his extraordinary power for the first time.
Chris felt that although Marquis Middell claimed he could void at any moment, it definitely wasn’t something that could be used unconditionally. It was likely to consume a significant amount of spiritual power and couldn’t be sustained indefinitely, leaving gaps when he had to deactivate it. Those moments were Chris’s opportunity.
The ritual content for Chris stepping onto the 6th Rank “Apostle of the Night” was…
“An extraordinary exponent must, for the next ninety-nine days, operate solely within the darkness of night, his body must not touch the light of day nor sunlight, or else all previous efforts will be in vain. Moreover, within these ninety-nine days, he must alone kill an extraordinary being completely equal to his own strength.”
In the many extraordinary nobility of Cyart, it was the Middell family who made the first bold move, hence Chris told his daughter briefly and then immediately traveled south to assassinate Marquis Middell.
At that moment, he very calmly and indifferently lifted his head, seeing a dark blue barrier emerging in the sky and quickly enveloping the entire city.
Thus, Chris acutely felt that his extraordinary power was suppressed to half its strength, and he also sensed something more troublesome in the air.
Another powerful Monarch was rushing over.
“…”
He clearly knew that this battle had only just begun, and the opponent’s victory condition was killing him.
And he didn’t need to completely eradicate the Middell family; in fact, as long as he successfully killed Marquis Middell, he could retreat from this city.
The focus next would still be to observe and decode the pattern of that physical voiding, and finally find a way… to hunt the “Ghost.”
