"Who are you?" Angulus was about to open the conversation but was greeted by a spear aimed at him. It pierced the Protector he formed with high penetrating power but stopped right in front of Angulus.
Don't want to talk Huh…
“Maximum output, Maximum Input. Rose Form…” Before Angulus could finish his chant, another attack pierced towards the prism shield shattering it into pieces.
Zaratul summoned dozens of spears that shot toward him. Dozens of spears with high penetration power attacked Angulus but not a single attack hit him.
“Summoning!!! Rose of Destruction” After completing this chant, his Mana was immediately expended by half.
A black rose floated in the sky and formed instantly. It was quite a beautiful rose that could attract the attention of many people who saw it.
This was the summoning magic he had. Even though it is not the best and consumes a lot of Mana, in terms of sustainability, this magic is very suitable.
“Interesting magic, quite rare if I may say so. More importantly, I didn't expect to see a replication of that species in this world.” Zaratul took a step back and disappeared from the spot.
Blood vein rose.
It was quite a rare species that could be encountered in the dimension he lived in previously. Lives by sucking blood and eating everything that has blood. In a place filled with blood, this rose would bloom very beautifully and wither very quickly.
“Could there be a similar species here? No, it's impossible. The only place the rose could live was a land filled with blood. Unless its habitat is as constant as the dimension I live in, there's no way it can survive.”
He did not interfere with the process of forming the rose because of its unique characteristics of the rose. As long as it does not touch the ground, its form will remain in Astral mode and will not have a physical form that can be attacked.
Unless he had magic that could directly target the soul, it was easier to let it fall to the ground and destroy it when its body manifested.
The black rose in the sky slowly descended and fell onto the neatly laid path. Just as he fell, the black rose immediately returned to its physical form and removed its astral mode.
A little boy who didn't see the fight in the sky accidentally saw the black rose under his feet. “How beautiful…”
"Maybe I should take him home?" Just when the boy was about to touch the rose under his feet, Thousands of thorny roots appeared and pierced the little boy and sent him flying in the air.
The people around him were immediately pierced by the same attack and lifted into the sky. The remaining roots immediately spread further and killed more people in the surroundings.
Angulus was about to move away but was immediately confronted by Zaratul who shot five bullets at him. "Shield…"
Before he could finish his chant, the five bullets had penetrated Angulus' arm, causing his hand to bleed. He immediately moved away while replying to Zaratul with a miasma.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Once again, he disappeared with just a step he took.
“My task is complete. Next…” Before he finished his sentence, an air bullet hit the magic barrier he had just created. The violent vibrations created various cracks in the prism-shaped barrier he had just created.
That bastard… Where did he attack from? Angulus felt a headache when he saw Zaratul who could disappear and appear as he pleased
Moreover, that person seemed to be playing with him.
Bang… Bang… Bang… Bang…
The same air bullets continued to attack without stopping. Angulus was about to release the radar he had previously used only to see a thick fog immediately covering the entire sky where they were fighting.
"What magic is this?" When Angulus was about to cast another spell, a large spear fell on his head and shattered the shield he had formed. His body directly hit the ground.
Above the sky, Zaratul stood majestically without anyone being able to see him. His body was coated in the same concealment magic and thick mist as the mist he released earlier.
Even though no one could see him, at this moment his figure shook but immediately disappeared in that second. “The burden of using the magic possessed by the magic tower of Babel is too great. Especially when doing quick releases.”
But this must be done. All I need to do now is buy some time and leave once this is all over. Compared to Angulus, the magic he possessed was much better and more efficient.
"But this is not enough," Zaratul muttered while releasing a large amount of magic energy. This was not the magic possessed by the magic tower of Babel but rather the magic he had formed himself after spending time as a Reincarnator.
A simple black spear. With his current strength, he couldn't bring out the full potential he once did when he was at his peak.
Eclipse Spear.
“Bastard, what is that creature.” Angulus could feel how terrifying the Magic that Zaratul was trying to release right now was.
Different from before when he couldn't feel the slightest mana movement that occurred in the air when Zaratul cast magic, this time he could feel it so clearly.
Even without the special eyes he had…No, even the people here also sensed what Zaratul was trying to do. If only there were people who survived after the rose bloomed in this place.
Angulus could only sigh softly. He considered a bit before deciding. “It seems I can't hold back any longer.”
“Buy me some time. 10 seconds is enough.” Angulus spoke slowly.
Hundreds of thorny roots immediately changed their direction and threw away all humans who were interfering with the movement of the roots and attacked Zaratul who appeared to be standing in the air.
When the roots entered the mist, the movement of the roots stopped statically. Even if the rose wanted to move its roots, it remained motionless as if it had lost control of the roots.
Zaratul seemed to smile when he saw him. "Good work. You can go back now.”
Orb who was in the mist immediately nodded and returned to Zaratul's shadow.
Eclipse Spear immediately shot towards Angulus' place which was protected by a black rose with the roots that the rose had. Hundreds of roots were destroyed but the speed was soon reduced.
7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2…
"Finished." Angulus opened his eyes while raising his hands up. The spear that almost hit him was caught by his hand which was now covered in a blackguard that looked like armor stuck to his skin.
The spear was 1 second slower. Just one second, if the spear was one second faster, then the one who would be seriously injured would be him.
The payment was that the rose was almost half destroyed and had disappeared without a trace. With the rose unable to absorb blood, there was no way it would survive much longer. Apart from that, almost all of the roots had been destroyed with nothing left to protect Angulus.
Angulus looked at the black figure still in the sky.
“You…” Before he finished his sentence, the spear shook violently.
Boom!!!
The spear exploded right in front of Angulus' face and destroyed the surroundings.
Zaratul who saw it could only smile.
He would be an idiot if he didn't do something about the last magic he was about to release. Moreover, after entering the library of the Magic Tower of Babel, he immediately improved many of his magics that were too simple.
"My job here is finished. Whether he will continue or not, I can't stay here any longer. Are you ready, Erick?”
A voice immediately answered his question. "Of course. They have secured a route for you to escape. I'll send you the coordinates right away."
A piece of information immediately appeared in his head and he was stunned for a moment. Not saying much, he immediately disappeared with every step he took.
