Chapter 655 Rapid Improvement
The New Gods agreed to make their subordinates fight Erste. Upon hearing the order of their masters the first thing the elemental spirits did was clear the area. The surrounding structures, humans, and any other thing in the way were turned into dust. Seeing the deaths of thousands happening in front of him Erste felt nothing. Even with his newly acquired emotions the implications of death were still not fully understood by Erste at the moment.
After clearing the area of battle the elemental spirits did not all attack at once, despite knowing Erste had killed a New God they weren't that impressed as it was all done by luck. Even now all they could see was a slightly lucky weak human being.
An elemental spirit of water was the first to go forward. A torrent of water was about to hit Erste who could not even see the movement of the elemental spirit of water, but for some reason, his body which sensed the power of the spirit was about to hit actually evaded.
Not only were the elemental spirits surprised that Erste evaded the strike even Erste himself was very surprised. That time when he was attacked he could not even see how the elemental spirit of water moved much less try to evade the attack, but for some reason, he sensed it and acted purely on instinct.
'I see, even if I can't follow the movements with my own eyes, that new power I got can help me sense and predict their movements in advance.'
The elemental spirit of water was no longer startled and started attacking again. The speed of the attack had increased slightly but Erste was able to evade it all the same. Now the elemental spirit of water was getting angry as she was being made a fool in front of the others so not only did the frequency of the attack speed up but even the power that would've just stunned Erste had increased to a level that was enough to break Erste's bones.
Erste who felt the pressure increasing did not panic in the slightest instead he felt that he could actually do something more than just evade. Since he can now sense the incoming attack predicting the enemy's movements before they happen, and he had at hand a weapon that could harm the Gods maybe he could also slice through these attacks. All he needed to do was place the weapon in between him and the torrent of water.
As the next attack was coming Erste stood his ground and pointed the weapon in his hand forward, the gushing water attack split in half. Upon seeing what was happening the elemental spirit of water became even more ashamed and mad as she finally used a powerful move.
The ground below Erste started to tremble as a geyser was about to appear below him, but before it could come out Erste already started running towards the elemental spirit of water. Erste's running speed was extremely fast and he looked like a blur while evading all the erupting water and appearing in front of the Elemental spirit of water.
Erste was starting to understand how to use the unknown power he got from killing the New God from before. The Elemental Spirit of Water started to panic as she saw Erste get so close to her. Even though the mana in Erste's body was low and his mortal body weak, the weapon in his hands was something that could definitely kill her, even just a scrape from that weapon would spell her demise.
The first thought that the Elemental Spirit had at this moment was that the other Spirits would help kill this human, but then that thought quickly disappeared. The other Elemental Spirits were not on friendly terms more like rivals that would be happy to see each other die.
The Elemental Spirit of Water glanced at the other spirits and as she expected they were all snickering at her. The other spirits all thought that it was impossible for the Elemental Spirit of Water to lose but her victory was already embarrassing as she allowed Erste to get so close to her.
No longer able to take things likely, the Elemental Spirit of Water decided to end this farce immediately. Even though she knew that her master would want to toy with this human, but compared to that if she continues to show such an embarrassing sight it might also affect her master's prestige.
The aura of the Elemental Spirit of Water rose to a new height and a burst of water that was incomparable to her previous attacks finally hit Erste pushing him back. Erste's body flew quite a distance and landed with a thud.
"Heh, so it's finally over. How embarrassing little water spirit, you actually had such a hard time dealing with a puny human." The Elemental Spirit of Fire teased the other party with a rather seductive feeling.
"Hmph, if it were you I guess you would be dead by now." The Elemental Spirit of Water responded while folding her hands. As the other spirits were about to join in the fun they suddenly felt that Erste's mana was not disappearing but instead, it felt like it was rising.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Erste's hearty laugh surprised all the Elemental Spirits as they looked in the direction where Erste flew.
Erste was now bleeding from head to toe but instead of his presence weakening it was getting stronger instead. The vicious smile on his face alongside the blood on his body coupled with the aura he was emitting actually made the Elemental Spirits unconsciously shiver.
Erste had barely avoided death by instinctively defending himself from the powerful burst of water using the weapon in his hand blocking most of the attack. A few of his ribs were broken and he had a few internal injuries, but even then he was smiling that vicious-looking smile of his.
At this moment Erste felt alive in the face of death. The excitement and fear he was feeling had mixed together giving him a feeling of incredible ecstasy. Erste wanted to feel more, he wanted to continue fighting, he wanted to continue improving so that he could face even stronger existences, to feel even more than he could have imagined.
"That attack was incredible! Do you have a stronger attack?! Come on show me everything you got!"
