Chapter 417 Introducing Modern Marvel
Standing on the slightly inclined branch of the tall tree, Damien could see the pond and the vastness of green valley around it. He saw Olivia appearing out of blue behind the horse as she lunged with her fist for the Shadow Fiend's head. As if the horse had a three hundred and sixty degree vision, it trotted sideway dodging the punch by a long margin.
"It's fast!" Damien exclaimed.
Unlike any other Fiend species, Shadow Fiend race had higher level of intelligence. Understanding that her opponent was much stronger than herself, she cried making a long, weird screeching tone. The horse hoofed faster and began dashing in the air making a long gap of half-a-mile distance between them. A shadowy longbow appeared in her hand, She-fiend installed a bloody arrow and shot at Olivia. This all happened with an infinitesimal fraction of a second.
The strange thing was that the moment the arrow was in the air, it multiplied into ten, pouring upon Olivia.
With an incredulous smile, Olivia made a slashing motion with her palm in the air. "Wind slash!" she whispered. From her fingertips, a long greenish curvy wind energy emerged in the air, sweeping toward the incoming ten red arrows. Bang! Bang! Bang!… With multiple banging sounds, all the arrows were intercepted, breaking into smithereens.
Using her strange movement skills that looked like normal steps, Olivia tried to approach her targets multiple times. Ultimately, it didn't work as the horse was even faster while distancing the same gap.
For the next couple of minutes, a similar scene of running, chasing, and the volleys of unsuccessful arrows ensued.
"Is she still going to use the same tactic?" Damien spat disappointingly.
As if Olivia had heard him, she refrained from taking another step. Then making a series of hand seals, "Tornado," she blew her breath. The next thing, a high vortex of a grayish mass of wind passed through the duo, tumbling both of them over the ground. Taking that chance of turbulence, she made another swift hand seal, and "Earth spike!" she muttered, touching the ground.
With a splitting sound of ground, multiple stone spikes emerged spontaneously, around the ground where the duo crashed messily. She-Fiend floated away in haste flapping her long black cassock. It was unfortunate for the Horse-Fiend as three of the pointy rocks speared all over its body, pining in mid-air. It convulsed rapidly and made a long neighing cry before it finally stopped struggling.
Ignoring She-fiend who was fleeing away rapidly in the air, Olivia took a step forward, appearing next to the horse's cadaver. "Please land me your blade." She yelled. Mysteriously, Damien appeared beside her, with a Red Katana in his hands.
She snatched it away from him and slashed the horse's head, brain matter and blood splattered everywhere. Crouching down, she dug into its brain and pulled out a Red Crystal Stone the size of a baseball. "Hmm, a Karat 5 Shadow Stone!" Tossing it toward him, she went after She-Fiend.
Damien tapped it against his Red Ring and it radiated red light five times. "Karat 5!" He muttered.
Instead of going after Olivia, Damien returned to the same branch and continued eating Devil Apples one at a time. After digesting twenty silvery apples, a notification popped up!

Half an hour later, Olivia returned with another Shadow Stone in her hand, which she presented it to him. They continued there and finally stopped on the bank of a vast sea, turbulent waves of putrid and greenish water.
"Very well," Olivia proclaimed. "This is as far as we can go. And I fear I'll have a hard time protecting you from here onward."
With his goldenly glinted eyes, Damien scanned the turbulent and responded with a frown, "I understand." He sensed thousands of terrifying auras deep under the ocean. And considering his current strength it was just suicidal to continue the hunting as they will become the prey.
"Alright, let's fly back,"
"Nope, I've got a better idea." Shaking his head off, he brushed a trace of his lightning energy into the Purple Spatial Beast's Eyeball and waved his hand gracefully. A strong spatial fluctuation manifested and the next thing an angelic spaceship was there on the ground.
Seeing this sleek and aesthetic machine for the first time, Olivia was like a curious girl. And she drooled seeing it in the shape of a gigantic bird with its wings unfolded. After caressing all around, she asked, "It looks something amazing. What is it?"
"Our ride back home," responded Damien.
"Hmph," Olivia rolled her eyes. " You mean this lifeless thing will bring us home. Ha-ha, stop messing with me. It's not funny at all."
As much as he liked to explain it to her, he refrained from doing so as although Theodore was a magnificent innovator, people here didn't have little knowledge about steam engines and their revolutionary journey in the Automobile industry. Instead, he boarded and responded, "Come girl, I'll see you around." Olivia too followed behind him.
Letting her sit over a couch, Damien inserted ten Crystal White-Power stones in ten slots around the core engine and instantly, the interior lighted up beautifully.
Next Damien activated the angelic armament, and a pair of white wings protruded out from his back. Utilizing that form, he extracted grace energy and touched his palm over the white crystal ball which was the main core engine. Since this aircraft was designed by and for angels, he'd used angelic-slash-grace energy to pilot it. Inserting a large amount of grace energy, the engine roared and took its flight in the air.
All this time, Olivia was brimming with a lot of questions in her mind. Still, she held on waiting for him to explain about this flying marvel. Just as it took flight, the A.I. interfaced in the shape of a virtual 3-D screen and the form of a beautiful female voice speaking angelic tongue.
Olivia almost jumped up and scanned. Failing to sense, she asked, "Who is she? And why is she hiding from me?"
