Chapter 260: The Impossible (1/2)
”W-Who are you?”, the man asks while looking at Adhara's figure.
The violet flame is steaming around her body gorgeously like a blooming flower, the heat of the flames threatened to burn the surroundings but somehow the man is not exposed to this.
Adhara glance back before looking back at the Awakened in front of him warily, ”I'm An Awakened from Ratmawati City”
”Ratmawati City...”, the man mumbles.
But when he realized what Adhara just said, the man stands up in shock.
”T-The angels! The Angels have come to save us!”, the man shouted as the other slaves looks at Adhara with sparkling eyes.
All of the slaves' eyes lit up, Adhara is like a candle in the dark.
Based on how rough and haggard the slaves currently look, it's hard to say for how long do they already put up with the hellish times behind these walls.
Nobody tries to help them, nobody even knows.
Adhara looks at their sparkling eyes feeling complicated,
”Who are you?! Where did you come from?!”, the Awakened asks as he draws his sword.
But before Adhara can answer, Rex and Edward approach her while riding on their horses without a hint of caution in their expression.
Edward and Rex jumped down from their horses and landed beside Adhara.
Looking at another unfamiliar face that appears in front of him, the Awakened held his sword hilt tightly as lightning started to envelop his sword.
Upon closer look, Rex can see that the Awakened is not Yosef.
This Awakened has brown eyes, and he's certainly not the good one.
”Our leader is also an Awakened from Ratmawati City. If you know what's good for you, leave the city immediately”, the man threatened.
Hearing this, not a single change in expression happened to Rex and the others.
The words that came out of the man's mouth is just air for them, they didn't feel threatened at all, even for a little bit.
Looking at this, the man frowns as his threat doesn't work.
”Try to kill him using only your daggers, minimize your elemental usage”, Rex instructed.
Adhara nodded her head before she takes out her two daggers.
She then stepped forward with light steps making the man get into his battle stance, he already know that Adhara's rank is higher than him.
”I'll be your opponent”, Adhara announced.
Her disgusted expression can be seen clearly on her expression, and this pissed the man off.
BOOM!
Adhara dashes forward as her body glows with a purple hue,
Her dash is so fast that it catches the man off guard, he can only hold his sword in front of him to block Adhara's attack.
CLANG!
Both of Adhara's daggers clashes against the man's sword.
The man got pushed back by the impact proving that Adhara is stronger than him.
But Adhara didn't stop, she duck down deeper into the man's defense before she slash her daggers horizontally in the opposite direction.
Slash!
The man manage to dodge it but received a shallow cut on his stomach.
”You could've added a leg sweep there, don't just think of one attack but rather think of the move you'll be going for next”, Edward lectured her from the side.
Hearing this, the man gritted his teeth in anger, ”Don't underestimate me!!”
Blitz!
The man's sword started cracking with lightning, he slash his sword at Adhara but got blocked by Adhara with her blazing daggers.
Adhara then spins her body making the man's sword parried to the side.
With a flick of her hands, she slashes the man's thigh and calf with her daggers, ”Argh!”, the man grunted as his legs feel weak.
But even with Adhara's successful attack, Edward is frowning from the back.
”Why are you attacking his thigh? Are you even trying to kill him? Go for his groin to finish the fight quicker”, Edward lectured again.
Hearing Edward lecturing Adhara from the back, the Awakened knows that he's just a test.
He realized that the people behind Adhara are not normal people, but they have no aura which makes the Awakened frown.
While this is all happening, the slaves were at a loss for words.
The Awakened of Lountain City is like a god to them,
But now, one of the people that they called god is being toyed with as if he's an insect.
”We're going to be saved...”
”Thank god...”
The slaves started to sob with tears as they watch the nightmare that haunts them for years starting to fade, the angels of Ratmawati City are here to save them from this false god.
Slash!!
”Arrghh!”, the man wail in pain as Adhara manage to land a nasty slash on his chest.
Purple fire scorch his chest as he ripped his clothes off to get rid of the purple fire.
Gritting his teeth, the man channels lightning mana to his fingertips before he points them at Adhara, ”Lightning Spell, Piercing Lightning!”
Blitz!!
A lightning strike that takes the form of a snake bursts from his fingertips.
But Adhara already expected this as she dodge the lightning strike, she somersaulted to dodge the lightning strike before landing in front of the man.
”What?!”, the man steps back in shock.
Adhara lifts up her face before her eyes blaze with purple fire.
Upon seeing Adhara's eyes, the man felt a burning sensation inside his body as if his body is on fire before suddenly,
Shring!!
Adhara's daggers stopped right on the man's neck,
Looking at this, Rex frowns seeing that Adhara hesitated for a moment.
The man breath heavily as he looks down at the blazing daggers right on his neck, he felt a sizzling pain as the fire touches his skin.
But feeling Rex's gaze from the back, Adhara gripped her daggers,
SLASH!
With her blazing daggers, Adhara slashes the man's neck.
The man held his neck trying to stop the blood from flowing out, but his attempt is futile as he falls down to the ground weakly before breathing his last breath.
<Adhara Killed a Mid Fourth Rank Awakened, Obtained 60,000 Exp>
<Lountain City Awakened Killed 1/3>
After killing the man, Adhara sheathed her daggers before going back to Rex and Edward.
”I saw you using your new spell”, Rex said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Adhara looks at Rex nervously but find that Rex is not going to comment about her hesitation, ”Yes, it's quite handy to use in a hand-to-hand fight”
”But you still need to learn more, aim for their vital parts. Always”, Edward said from the side.
But before Adhara can answer, ”It seems your fight attracts the others, more of them are coming this way. Your turn is not done yet Adhara”, Rex said before three people landed in front of them.
They all rush here from the castle's direction.
Rex looks at the three people before his eyes landed on the man on the left.
'So that's Yosef huh', Rex thought as he see the man on the left who has really bright grey eyes just like the woman said.
After confirming which one is Yosef, Rex's eyes then move to the man in the middle.
