92 Chapter 92
“You are not the only smart guy that can scheme” Lord Terrom said with a chuckle
Another pinkish cream magic circle appeared at the top of his palm
“You must have suffered in the past after prolonging a fight and ending it as fast as possible is the right decision…”
“However, as for me, even if I know what is right, I still like seeing my ‘prey’ suffer”
From Terrom’s palm, five tentacles came out all of which targeted Rezen and Lord Keito
“[Crushing Tentacle!]”
The five tentacles expanded in length, moving in the air to reach both Rezen and Keito that hurriedly tried their best to dodge
However, the difference between a 4th fusion rank mage and a 5th fusion rank mage was displayed
“Aagghhh!” One of the tentacles wrapped itself on Lord Keito’s waist. He can feel his bones breaking from the force
The cold and slimy tentacle on his body rendered his combat power useless. He was simply no match for a mage at Noble Lord Terrom’s level!
“I won’t kill you. Since you betrayed the Twighlight Beast, death is a release, not a punishment” Terrom said while controlling the other tentacles to deal with Rezen
“Damn it!” Rezen cursed. He didn’t expect this kind of reversal
This terrorist organization is too vicious! To think that they would hide a 5th fusion rank mage in the ranks of the 4th fusion rank mages!
Rezen utilized both his Mystic Tattoos and Gems to increase his speed but the tentacles moved like a lightning
He tried his best to dodge but the tentacles still caught him
“Hehehe… trying to run?” Noble Lord Terrom sneered. He raised his hand before wildly swinging it down
They are still inside a swamp and although the water was only at knee level, it is still enough for Terrom’s plan
The tentacle raised Rezen’s body before smashing him into the swamp. The black water covered him and Rezen kept his mouth shut to prevent himself from ingesting the water
However, in just a few seconds, Noble Lord Terrom controlled his tentacle again. It raises Rezen’s body in the air before once again slamming him down the swamp
“Hehehe… I wonder what your meat tastes like?” Terrom asked no one in particular while licking his lips causing his colleagues to look at him with a terrified expression
This man… they are aware that he likes eating meat but could he also be eating human meat?
Rezen received the greatest humiliation of his life today. He was repeatedly smashed into the swamp and because of that, he accidentally swallowed the black water which was the nastiest thing he had ever tasted
His fury flared and he casts his spell “[Crow’s Grip!]”
Rezen’s right hand was instantly coated by a black substance that assumed the image of a crow’s claw. He then uses his sharp claw to tear the tentacles wrapped around his body before he jumped away to increase the distance between him and Noble Lord Terrom
“Hehehe, that’s right. A tasty meat is a struggling meat! Let’s have fun!”
No matter who would look at Terrom, they would agree on one thing and that is that he was enjoying this situation
His lips were raised in a wide smile and even his eyes were glowing. The more that Rezen struggles the better!
“[Hell’s Call!]”
Noble Lord Terrom waved his hand and a large magic circle formed. This magic circle covered the entire space that was cut off from the outside and more tentacles appeared
These tentacles were larger and thicker and they were everywhere. Not to mention, they were even covered with sharp teeth as if just touching the teeth alone would cut a person’s flesh
“N-Noble Lord Terrom!”
The Lords cried out. Facing a spell at the 5th rank has frightened them despite knowing that Rezen was Terrom’s target
“What? Are you afraid I’ll eat you?” Terrom questioned playfully and all of his fellow organization members had an urge to say yes but they didn’t dare utter a single word
“Hahaha, it’s fine, it’s fine! I don’t think that you taste good, there’s no need to worry” Noble Lord Terrom said while waving his hand nonchalantly causing the other mages to internally scowl at him
Does that mean that if he thinks that they were delicious, he would eat them? Is he really a cannibal?
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!” Rezen cursed repeatedly. His figure was moving at an inhuman speed to dodge the tentacles that wanted to rip him apart
Since he called out all of his mystic gems, they were following him whenever he go and his moving figure drew quite a beautiful image
“[Sun Palm!]”
From the magic circle that Rezen created, the power of the sun gathered and covered his palm
His palm glowed with a yellow color and the surrounding temperature rose
“Haaa!!”
Rezen sent a palm strike at a tentacle that he cannot dodge. He managed to leave a burnt palm print on it but he was not able to completely destroy the tentacle
Even then, the force from his palm sent the tentacle out of his way and he continued when another tentacle grabbed him on his ankle
The tentacle raised Rezen’s body in the air, threatening to smash him into the swamp’s water again when he used up the remaining sun energy on his palm to burn the tentacle and free himself
“Wow… how can you have that many mystic gems? What secrets do you have?” Terrom wondered and in his eyes, Rezen is a very ‘delicious’ prey
“Brother, why don’t we stop here? I am in the wrong, please forgive me!” Rezen tried his luck and Noble Lord Terrom laughed loudly
“Hahahahaha! Nah, I’d rather play with you and force out your secrets!” Terrom replied to him and Rezen’s expression turned vicious
“Then die!”
Rezen waved his hand and around a hundred cherries were thrown by him
He was trying to save his life through a sneak attack but…
All the tentacles around move and they caught the cherries
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A hundred explosions occurred causing burnt pieces of tentacles to be sent flying everywhere
The surrounding temperature rose once again and since this is an explosion of a hundred cherries, the temperature was way higher than when Rezen used his spell
“Did I get him?” Rezen wondered but the answer he received was a tentacle piercing through his thigh
“Ahhkk!!”
Rezen bled from his thigh, his body shaking from the pain
“Sigh… I already told you that you are not the only smart person in the world. Do you think I wouldn’t assume that you have a lot of those exploding cherries considering that Keito showed it to me? Tsk tsk tsk”
Noble Lord Terrom’s voice entered Rezen’s ears and when the explosion died down, he can see his enemy again
Terrom was still unscathed as before. Not even a scratch can be seen on his body
“Now then, how should I deal with you?” Terrom said carelessly and Rezen glared at him
“Die!” Rezen shouted and Lord Keito that was ‘unconscious’ opened his eyes and hurriedly casts a spell
“[Metal Javelin!]”
Keito’s position was behind Terrom right now and that’s where he sent his javelin
Both Keito and Rezen were hoping that this sneak attack under a sneak attack would work but…
Puchi!
That was the sound of the javelin hitting the flesh but the pained and surprised expression that Rezen was expecting from Terrom didn’t appear
“Hmm, nice plan but still not enough” Terrom said with a chuckle before he grabbed the javelin on his back and pulled it out
“You see, while I can defend my front, the back is a different matter and I have to have some form of defense” Terrom said as he showed what the metal javelin hits
It was a ball of flesh. This was what prevented Terrom from dying at the spell of a mere 4th fusion rank mage
“Fuck…”
Rezen’s cards were either used up or unusable. This is a direct fight and Rezen can’t use his other mutated crops
“Is that all? If yes then come with me. I think you can guess what will happen next, right?”
“Yes, you’re right. It would be torture time hahaha!”
Torture… Rezen doesn’t want to undergo torture!
He knew that being tortured can lead to mental problems and he can’t have that kind of problem in this world
The mind and soul are connected. How can he continue to advance and gain more power to protect himself if that happens?
“Master! No!” Lord Keito cried out and he tried helping Rezen when tentacles penetrated his shoulders and legs
“Ahhkk!!” He bled from the wounds but he still tried to move but the tentacles held him in his place
Rezen was still thinking of what he should do to save his life when…
“[Shadow Bind]”
A black magic circle formed on the area that Terrom was standing on and his body trembled before he found himself unable to move
