LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 76: Cunning Man
But then, just as Lorien was feeling desperate; The golden barrier around him suddenly shone with a bright blinding light!
The moment this golden light appeared; Lorien and Saigai were immediately knocked unconscious.
Following this, the 'orb' inside of Lorien's body shot out a beam of energy clashing with the incoming attack!
*Swish*
As they clashed, both sides seems to have reached a deadlock as neither side gained the advantage.
But that only lasted for a moment, as the golden energy attack from the orb suddenly got the upper hand, scattering the incoming attack, and pushing the red-skinned man away!
Getting pushed back, the man looked stunned; He thought that the moment he used his full power, everything would be settled; But now it seems that wasn't the case.
Looking at the unmoving golden barrier in front of him, the man gritted his teeth; He felt reluctant to let the 'meat' near his mouth escape.
But just as he was about to make another try, a gentle sigh suddenly sounded.
"Sigh...."
The voice was that of a woman, her sigh seemed to cross time and space sounding right inside his soul.
Hearing this voice, the man instantly became vigilant; He looked around trying to find its source, But he didn't have to do so for long as its owner quickly appeared.
From the golden barrier enveloping Lorien and Saigai, a 'figure' silently emerged; this figure was actually that of a woman!
She had fiery red hair, golden eyes, and wore a beautiful black dress; She also held in her right hand a golden spear engraved with many mysterious runes and inscriptions.
Looking at her, the man turned silent trying to judge her strength level; but just a moment later, his eyes suddenly shrank as if discovering something terrifying!
'gnieb level ytirohtua nA...'
(An authority level being...)
Realizing this, the man quickly began thinking of a way to save his life.
But then, just as he was feeling desperate, he suddenly found something which caused him to calm down a bit.
Pausing for a moment, the man's eyes flicked with a cunning light which he quickly hid as he then spoke arrogantly.
"tnemgarf luos a tsuj era uoY ti si ydob niam ruoy t'nsi sihT"
(This isn't your main body, is it? You are just a soul fragment!)
"HAHAHAAHAHAH!"
Bursting out laughing, the man then continued
"yadot ykcul yllaer ma gnieb ytirohtua na fo tnemgarf luos ehT"
(The soul fragment of an authority-level being! am really lucky today!)
"rehtruf og erus rof nac I uoy ruoved I fI"
(If I devour you I can for sure go further!)
Saying this, the man didn't hesitate any longer, He was going to go all out this time!
With a wave of his hand, a dark creepy sword appeared in it, then, his body suddenly burst out with an unbelievable amount of energy.
Compared to his previous attack; This power was on another level!
This wasn't because he was previously holding back; The reason for this is that he is currently burning his 'life' to improve his strength!
The way he is burning life is very different from that of Lorien; After all, at his level of power, the simple life force originating from the body won't give much of a boost.
So not only did this man burn his life force, but he also started burning his soul and even his essence (existence)!
Doing so he didn't waste any time, the more time wasted the faster he'll fall!
Raising the dark sword on top of his head, the man instantly condensed all of his power on it and then slashed forward!
*Swish*
This attack held all of his power, this is the strongest attack he had ever released in his life!
Looking at the attack making its way toward the woman in front of him, the red-skinned man then did something no one expected.
Just after releasing the attack, he suddenly turned around and ran away!
'uoy ot bmud kool I od?'
(Do I look dumb to you?)
'niamod ytirohtua na llits si ti tnemgarf luos a tsuj si ti fi nevE'
(Even if it is just a soul fragment it is still an authority domain!)
Indeed, the moment Moira appeared, he knew that he lost, he also didn't think that she would let him go.
Realizing this, he started acting like an arrogant and ignorant fool, and just waited for the best chance to escape!
Running desperately, the man started thinking wildly.
'sretsnom dlo esoht pu ekaw I litnu tiaW hctiB'
(Bitch! Wait until I wake up those old monsters!)
'neht yb ecaf etarepsed ruoy ta gnikool yojne'
(I'll enjoy looking at your desperate face by then!)
Looking at the man's sudden actions; Moira's eyes widened in astonishment.
This was also a surprise to her, She didn't expect him to run away after speaking arrogantly for so long.
'Tsk...So he was just trying to gain an opportunity to run away; Smart guy!'
'But...Did he not notice that I had already sealed the place?'
Looking at the red-skinned man running with all his might, but failing to truly go anywhere as he just kept running in place, She turned her attention to the immense dark world some distance away.
'What is that....'
Just after looking at it for a moment, she quickly looked away in dread; With a quick glance, she noticed many presences at the same level as her.
But that wasn't what made her feel fearful; What did was that she felt the presence of some beings even stronger than her!
Those beings seemed to have reached a level beyond [Authority] which is the level she dreamed of!
But luckily for her and Lorien, those existences appear to be in some sort of slumber, this may be because of some injuries they received, or they may simply be asleep.
Shaking her head, Moira didn't try to think about it any longer, what she wanted to do now was quickly kill the guy in front of her and run away before anything unexpected happens!
Determining her objective, Moira quickly raised her golden spear and looked coldly at the man still trying to escape.
From start to finish, she didn't even bother looking at the attack coming her way, she completely treated it like air!
'Humph...'
