Chapter 39 Bullying An Advanced Tier Opponent



Seeing Ray disappear from his initial position, Bernard’s eyes widened as saucers and seemed to pop out of their sockets.

After all, this was the same scene that happened with Ray not long ago with Bernard disappearing after activating his full strength.

Bernard did not dare be ignorant. He did a full scan of his environment but did not find anything. It was not that he could not sense any energy signatures around him, rather all he could sense was energy.

Arghh,

Bernard held his head as his ears bled as the surrounding energy overwhelmed his senses. There was so much energy in the surroundings that not only did they blind Bernard’s energy sense but also caused his senses to be distorted and harmed.

Bernard had only recovered to stand up and isolate himself from any further harm when he was flung back like a shooting meteor and crashed into multiple trees before stopping and plopping down to the ground.

“Plop, that!”,

​ Then suddenly, a barrage of fists rained down on him, pushing him further to the ground.

Due to it, a crater formed in the forest. In the forest, Bernard was lying down while a man stood upon him holding him by his scuffle.

The man was Ray. However, right now his appearance was different from usual. He was surrounded by golden energy that constantly radiated from within his body.

His eyes turned golden while his hair floated in the air. Furthermore, Ray’s appearance also had a strange change. Faint scales were covering his face. The scales were golden in color and went down from his eyes to his cheeks.

Although they only went down from his eyes to cheeks and were very faint and hard to see. They were there and seemed to resonate with the energy that Ray’s body emitted continuously.

They acted as amplifiers and whenever Ray punched down at Bernard or used his strength, they pulled in the energy that surrounded Ray and directed it over towards the target.

Moreover, such scales appeared all over Ray’s body, and although faint they had a strange luster to them that made one feel reverence.

Ray raised his hands and grabbed Bernard, who had just regained his consciousness after being plummeted countless times by Ray.

He looked at Ray and instead of his previous contempt towards Ray, right now there was only fear he felt from Ray. He wished to be free from such torture as it was the first time he had been suppressed in such a way.

If anyone would see what was happening right now, they would only think of what was happening to Bernard as one-sided bullying.

Ray grabbed Bernard and floated in the air. Then he suddenly flew forward slamming Bernard into countless trees, leaving behind utter destruction.

However, the place where he was heading was not deeper into the forest. He headed towards where the camp was.𝓃𝑂𝒱𝓮𝓵𝞰𝑬xt.𝔠𝔬𝐌

Ray constantly slammed Bernard into trees, disfiguring his appearance as a result of being slammed into trees at the speed of a race car traveling at max speed.

With such devastation occurring within the forest, dust, and debris scattered. However, the energy surrounding Ray prevented the dust and debris from touching Ray. This made Ray look like a heavenly being descended from the heavens to purge out darkness.

While Ray was flying towards the camp with Bernard in hand, the camp was not in a good position.

* * * * * *

~The camp ~

The tents were long scattered on the ground while the ground itself was scorched from continuous blasts that occurred everywhere.

In the middle of the camp, where the main tent was set.

There was utter chaos and destruction near the area of the camp. However, at a radius of 5 meters around the camp, there was no destruction.

The land here was not scorched and the tent was also in its pristine condition. However, the guards that protected the were not in a good condition as from the original 25 guards there were less than a dozen left.

The remaining guards surrounded the tent in a protective formation as they stood their ground.

Right now there was a stalemate between the invaders and the guards as, neither could the invaders rush in or attack nor could the guards rush out or attack.

It was due to a protective barrier forming around the tent. The protective barrier was powerful enough to hold down both sides.

The origin of the protective barrier was unknown, however, the guards and the invaders both knew that the barrier was summoned from either inside the main tent or the tent originally had the power of forming a protective barrier.

Knowing that the barrier could not be broken at the moment, the guards heaved a sigh of relief and started recovering their strength while some healers healed the injuries of other guards.

As the guards let their guard down, the leader of the bandits revealed a mischievous smile as he pulled out an artifact from his robes and threw it forward.

A guard who had not let his guard down and was observing the enemy was alarmed when the man pulled out an artifact and threw it forward. On closer look, the guard recognized the artifact. As he did so, his knees buckled while his body shook from fear.

He turned around to warn his fellow guards but, it was ultimately too late.

‘Booooom!!’,

The ground shock and a mushroom of dust rose in the air as the thrown artifact erupted with power and caused such an explosion to manifest.

As the explosion happened at an extremely close distance with the protective barrier. The barrier trembled and,

‘Crack’,

And cracked as cracks appeared on the barrier and its light dimmed. It was a sign indicating that the barrier was on the verge of collapse and could not hold out any longer.

The dust and debris settled down and as it did, the invaders saw the barrier on its end and the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, the invaders were overjoyed while the guards lost their will to live. After all, the guards knew that the three people on the other side of the barrier were way stronger than them.

Furthermore, their strange skills coupled with the number of artifacts in their hands made them a force to be reckoned with.

With the barrier nearing its collapse, the leader of the invaders muttered some incantations as a strange glint passed through his eyes. Then, the hands of the leader lit up brightly while flames surged out of them like a river.

The man directed the flames towards the barrier and then,

‘Boom, Crack, Shatter!!’,

The flames collided with the barrier and exploded, causing the cracks on the barrier to increase and cover the whole barrier. Then, as if a glass had been shattered, the barrier shattered into countless pieces of light.

Seeing the barrier shattered, the invaders stepped forward while the leader said,

“Let’s where you will run to now, little princess”.

* * * * * *

Meanwhile,

Ray had reached the camp and as he did, he heard the voice of a second blast appearing from the direction of the main camp. Then, he flew over there with Bernard in his hands.

Right now, Bernard’s appearance was unrecognizable as his nose and jaw had been broken while his eyes were swollen. Furthermore, his skin had peeled off most of his face and blood gushed uncontrollably.

* * * * * * *

The leader of the invaders also stepped forward and raised his hands above his head. Doing this, a huge amount of mana surged from his body while a huge fireball formed above him.

The leader continued supplying mana to the fireball until he depleted his mana. Then, the leader flung his hands forward in a bid to throw the fireball forward in the direction of the camp.

However, his hands did not move. He tried but failed to move his hands. The leader was alarmed at this and tried to move, but even that was not feasible.

Then, a voice sounded from behind,

“Not on my watch, you do not”.

Listening to the voice that sounded less of a human and more of an ancient god, the man was petrified in horror as fear rose from the depths of his heart.
