123 Elita Vs. ???
A loud whistle sounded as a roaring of the wind followed after, a large sword flickering into existence as it swung against Elita whose eyes bulged in shock!
So fast!
So strong!
She barely managed to draw her sword and parry the attack but even as she did, her form was terrible!
Her legs left the ground, the loud ring that occurred when metal smacked metal coming before a devastating shockwave blew intensely, the Paladin Champion being launched off into the distance!
A certain Discount Human didn’t even catch a single glimpse of what had happened as all he witnessed was a blotch of darkness and then…
FABOOOM!
His cosmetic skin felt like it was being shredded as the force which had taken place directly near him blew him away, pushing him against buildings and stalls!
Every structure in a fifty meter radius was pushed away violently, including the corpses, the buildings and the tough city ground!
The scene was mind boggling!
Elita flew so far in such a short time, being a dot that streaked across the city like lightning, demolishing everything she knocked against living and non-living alike!
Skullius who was buried under a lot of rubble after the shockwave, shook his head as his vision spun.
He was so glad he couldn’t feel pain in this moment, as when he looked at himself, he saw many parts of his flesh torn in a goose bump inducing fashion!
His face also had scrapes and burns but he didn’t feel the agony that he should have.
He pushed against the rubble with all his might and managed to free himself, crawling out to face the devastation.
He gulped hard as he was faced with the scene of the indented group and a clear space where a single, terrifying figure stood.
“Flesh you, atrocious luck…” Skullius mumbled to himself. “What the heck is that, bro?!”
Even the Death Knight nanny that always came for roll-call in Deadmanland didn’t look as hideous or emit such a disgusting energy signature like the absolute abomination before his eyes!
Donning a spiky and reddish-black armour was a three meter tall monster that had now plunged its weapon into the ground while expelling a thick cloud of dark energy.
The armour looked custom made as several parts had distinctive features that where vastly different from the others. From the crescent-shaped visor on its helmet, two bright red beams could be seen within, looking into the distance.
Its right arm was rather bulky, the armour being modified to cover it perfectly while its left was disproportionately longer and even more unique; five more arms protruded from its under an upper sides, fully decked in fitting armour too!
An abomination with an arm that had five more shorter arms, twitching and wiggling to show that they functioned quite well.
The monster pulled out its sword which was like a Dadao, curved and thick at its end with a visibly sharpened edge on its bluish grey blade!
“ThE… MeDdLeR… sTiLL… liVeS…!” it spoke with its eerie voice before it took a few steps forward.
Skullius quickly backtracked, hiding behind the rubble.
His lack of knowledge forced him to not act rashly especially when he was this vulnerable in his Discount Human form.
This was intense and he didn’t want anything to do with it!
Beside him was dead Knight who had been flung by the shockwave.
Seeing the armour he donned, Skullius quickly removed it and stored it within his spatial storage ring.
While inserting his mana, he gave Red Rage a precise instruction.
“Hey, Red bro! Put that armour on and be ready to carry me away when I let you out!”
He didn’t know if Red Rage would hear him but the Pelvis Boar-Man had an ample amount of intelligence to process what he needed anyway.
He hoped at least.
Running around with a skeleton wouldn’t look good for Skullius in any scenario after all.
SHAAAA!
A golden splash of light covered the entirety of the sky above Eofel as a dark spot of light rose and descended at lightning speed!
Elita whose figure could barely be seen under the glaring flare of gold had leapt from the over 800 meter distance she had been flung before and returned to where the abomination awaited her!
Her pure hazel eyes emitted a concentrated golden gleamed as she descended with an incredible speed and hurled a fierce overhead punch at the monster’s head with a loud battle cry!
The tall creature ate the attack as for a brief moment, its dark air was overshadowed by the gold which had hints of green!
BOOOM!
Its head jerked down as it received the punch, the ground indenting further down under its feet while a mushroom cloud of dust rose high up with a vibrant shockwave!
‘That’s it?!’ Elita questioned as she felt her punch not do much damage to the creature!
Before the abomination could raise its head, Elita who was still airborne, drew her arming sword which shone with golden runes over its polished, light green surface and slashed precisely across its chest!
CRREEEENK!
A continuous shriek and spark announced itself when she slashed, the Paladin Champion feeling her sword digging into the thick armour… just a bit!
The abomination finally raised its head and with a nimble motion, it raised its Dadao sword high up and brought it down with a staggering force, billows of darkness spewing from it to wrestle the golden light!
Elita who was frustrated at not being able to lend any damaging blows, parried properly this time, the Dadao being forced off course while she launched a series of penetrative thrusts with her arming sword that finally bore through the abominations armour!
The tall creature drew back as seven holes opened on its armour, protruding from the back with dying bursts of golden light after Elita’s ferocious attacks!
However…
“ImPuDEnT…!”
The monster roared as it launched a series of slashes that Elita met with her own without a problem!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The noise of metal against metal rang loudly while bursts of horrendous forces destroyed the surroundings, causing them to crumble!
During this clash, Elita’s once hidden core finally showed its colour as she pulled out large portions of concentrated mana from it!
Purple!
Skullius watched the exchange from a distance while hiding behind rubble.
He was absolutely shocked!
The exchange was incredibly fierce as his eyes only saw flickers and sparks while the two stood still!
‘When will I reach this level?!’ he thought.
Strength so fierce it felt boundless!
From the terrifying fight, Elita suddenly drew back and pointed her finger at the monster, a three-pointed star appearing on her index finger!
“Glorious Purity!”
The star expanded and brightened up as it then ignited into a dark golden light that showered the monstrosity!
“ARRRRGHHHH!” the monstrosity screamed as smoke rose from its body!
“MeDdLeR!”
A plume of smoke gushed from its body and swept over the brilliant light as well as Elita right after the abominations call!
The monster’s retaliation caught Elita by surprise and for a few moments, her shining figure disappeared into the darkness!
…!
Skullius felt his non-existent heart sink!
He had obviously been routing for the individual who seemed to not have the intent to kill him!
From the pitch black darkness, a small flare sparked and then a figure streaked out in a quick motion and rushed a distance away.
Elita had managed to escape the darkness but…
Her face was pale and the light around her grew dimmer, the golden armour she wore showing.
She panted as she hurriedly held her sword firmly while facing the monstrosity.
‘That darkness…. What is it? I suddenly… feel weaker…’ she thought as strength seemed to be sapped from her.
The abomination rushed towards her, its voice loudly sounding again as this time…
“YoU CaNnOT coMPREheND, the TRuE beaUTY of uNDeATh. tHE oNly TrUE dIVInity aMonG MANY falseHOODS. The TrUESt rEALity in All ThE LaNDs…!”
Elita felt a painful sensation that tried to barrel its way into her as the abomination spoke!
“Nnnngh!” she gritted her teeth as she battled that powerful feeling but in doing so, her stance faltered and the Dadao that blitzed through the air came before she could raise her sword to defend…!
