94 Wrath
“Opppss... not this time,” Just as the Blazing Centipede complete its transformation, it heard a deep voice behind. “Now!”
Dark clouds covered the sky, multiple blue lightning flashed, it was as if the heaven was angry. Along with this change, snow and ice filled the ground.
Suddenly, multiple flashes of white light emerged from the void, cutting the Centipede’s body into different spots. The sword slashes were so fast that the body of Centipede barely resisted it. The internal organs of the Centipede were completely visible for anyone to see.
Yet Fein didn’t stop. He disappeared to his place, appearing in front of the Centipede’s eye; the temperature made Fein uncomfortable as he felt his skin became dry and itchy due to the fiery heat the Blazing Centipede exudes. As he was about to unsheathe his sword to slash the Centipede’s irises.
DING!
[Dark Fire (Active)- A fire that is unique to Blazing Centipede. This fire can exist as long as the user doesn’t die. It’s true eternal fire.]
[Blazing Inferno (Active)- The user would release fire on its body to make the terrain advantageous to themselves. The heat it exudes was close to Star’s surface temperature. It has a radius of 50 meters.]
After reading the abilities’ descriptions provided by the system, Fein was startled.
‘Temperature close to a star’s surface temperature? Fuck, are you freaking kidding me!? Wouldn’t that be enough to burn an entire continent!’ As a Scientist he knew what star surface temperature signifies, this is not comparable to anything he faced before!
.....
Fortunately, it only covered 50 meters and its only the surface, not the Star core, or else they were really doomed. He also saw a black flame, which he seems to be the so-called “Dark Fire” heading to his position.
Fein was frightened to death, as if confirming the system’s intel. The Blazing Centipede started to release steam, and the violent red fire spread, evaporating everything it comes into contact with. Even in this distance, his skin began to crack painfully as his hair started to thin out due to the intense temperature.
Fein started cursing in his heart.
How cheating is this!?? Why can an S class have this kind of power!?
He hurriedly activated his “Ghecko Substitution” and disappeared. In his place was an enormous boulder that replaced him. It was gradually being shredded to pieces by the temperature.
...
Fein appeared far from the position of Centipede. He saw Sofia’s worried expression in the distance.
He wiped the sweat from his face. If he doesn’t have ‘Ghecko Substitution’, he would surely become a fried chicken in no time. Fein was thankful for the system lottery in his heart.
Then he looked at the Centipede again. Now, dark red flames covered the original environment. All things near it were being swallowed by flames at a fast pace. The ground cracked and the scorching heat produced a visible distortion in the air.
Fein guessed that the “Blazing Inferno” is the final defense mechanism of the Blazing Centipede when its life was threatened.
‘It was probably trying to recover its strength, we have to stop it!’ Fein gradually became serious.
He can’t afford to relax now. Even if they want to escape, this fuck would certainly hunt them in the Secret Realm after it recovered. And Fein doesn’t want this. They can only escape if they leave the secret realm, but he still wants to stay here.
How can he come back empty-handed? That is unacceptable to him. That’s why they can only kill this Centipede here, and he already has a plan that they are currently implementing that can kill the Centipede even with the “Blazing Inferno” that currently protecting it.
As for human elites, he saw them look him in the eye from the distance with a grateful expression. Fein smiled at them and nodded.
...
-Elena’s POV-
I thought that we would be dead there, But I didn’t expect someone to show up and seriously injure the Centipede.
Seeing the Centipede get sliced effortlessly made me shudder.
Just how much strength and attainments in sword do you need to have to do that? The attacks were too fast even for me to follow.
“Hey, look, isn’t that the guy that attacked the Centipede?” Redriff pointed at the distance.
All of us looked... There was a guy with glasses, pale skin, and mid-length hair that slightly covered his eyes was watching the previous battlefield that was now fully swallowed by the blazing fire. The man was wearing black and red matching.
Suddenly, as if sensing our gazes, the guy turned his head at us and smiled.
We also nodded back at him with awe and gratefulness. If not for him, we would be all corpses now.
“That guy is strong! He can even sense our gazes...” Redriff couldn’t help but say.
I nodded in agreement at Redriff’s statement...
Sova looked solemn and said. “That guy’s swordsmanship has already reached lvl 5, no he might have even reached the limit of lvl 5! Because even my grandfather, who was the same level, was not as strong as him.”
The others looked at Sova with surprise. They knew Sova’s background. The possibility of lying is zero. That’s why, hearing his comment, they can’t help but believe it. Who was Sova’s grandfather? He was a sword grandmaster that is famous for founding a swordsman clan singled-handedly!
“There’s no way, right?” Jhamaica exclaimed.
I stared at her as if looking at an idiot, “do you really think he can take down the Centipede without having that strength?”
Jhamaica was stunned, she want to speak but didn’t know what to say. Because what I said was indeed logical.
“Let’s go. Our loss this time is big. We also have to recuperate...” I told them with sadness.
“George, Josh, and Erica,” Jhamaica sobbed as she remembered their dead companions.
Redriff looked at the gloomy mood and decided to change the subject. “How about that guy?”
“I don’t know what they are planning, but I think they want to kill THAT,” I muttered.
“He is gone. He went in the direction of Centipede, and he’s not alone. Look at the three phenomena. Does it look familiar?” Sova asked and pointed at three areas covered in thunder, snow, and darkness.
All of them were silent, as they didn’t know if their guess was true. But it was too unbelievable even for elites like them.
I shook my head and decided to say my thoughts. “That’s domains, and three at that. Just who are they?”
