Chapter 199: Desperate Mage



Chapter 199: Desperate Mage

Aniela felt her body and mind react on instinct. She didn't have time to call out to either Darcel or Masami. She quickly sprinted towards the rainbow color cave, causing an even broader destruction on the ground because of her immense power.

As Aniela rushed up to the cave, the ground near Demon Mikal's bloody broken body burst open! 

Out rushing from the group was Raven Likal! He was in a severely wounded state but not as bad as Demon Mikal.

His black robes were ripped to shreds, blood pool down his half charred face, and large charred fleshy wounds wrapped around his body. But even against all of his injuries and massive flares of pain, Raven Likal could still move.

"Eh? He survived?!" Up in the sky, Masami exclaimed her shock. 

She and Darcel were entirely taken by surprise as they didn't feel any instinctive danger in the air. Because they were so far away, their instincts didn't crazily flare like Aniela's.

They both couldn't rely on their Spirit Senses as well since Raven Likal Magic aura was essentially undetectable to them.

But as soon the two did notice Raven Likal, he was already near the rainbow color cave entrance. However, right as he neared the cave, a radiantly bright white glowing hand was grasping towards his neck.

Aniela's face was beautifully determined as she made it within a few inches from Raven Likal. 

She didn't bother with trying to send out an energy-based attack since her movement speed eclipses it in a short burst situation.

In just a mere split second, Aniela's white Light hand would strangle Raven Likal's battered and bloody neck. But right then, in Mikal's right hand, his Magic staff burst in a ferocious Darkness glow!

'Chi!' 

A blinding Darkness aura covered not only them but also covered Darcel and Masami all the way up in the sky. 

Upon casting this move, Raven Likal's black crystal orb shattered into a million pieces, and his Magic Staff cracked all over.

'PUFF~!!' 

The awful sound of his right arm bursting into a mangled string of flesh assaulted Raven Likal's ears. But Raven Likal's pushed past everything, violently clenching his teeth so hard that it was shattered even more.

The ultimate price for causing such tremendous damage to himself was the fact that neither Aniela, Darcel, nor Masami could move at all. 

The three of them all seemed to be going in extreme slow motion.

Darcel and Masami were slowly reacting to the abrupt situation. And Aniela became as slow as a snail. 

And on each of their faces, it was like they didn't even notice that everything slowed down, almost like time itself slowed down.

Just for a single second, Raven Likal managed to slow down everything to a snail crawl in his Magical Darkness aura! 

And Raven Likal wasn't foolish enough to believe he could attack Aniela despite slowing her down.

All this technique does is slow them down majorly; it didn't get rid of their prowess or base boldly defenses. 

So Raven Likal surged the remaining Magical Power left in his body and soul, nearly causing himself to pass out for good.

But in desperation, Raven Likal just barely managed to hang on. 

And with the boosted power from his soul's core, he shot right into the rainbow color cave. And as he zoomed into the rainbow color cave, his Darkness aura immediately vanished.

Back into real-time, Aniela barely reacted to Raven Likal suddenly vanishing from her. 

Her eyes just widened a bit, and she disdainfully snorted. "Tch!" 

Aniela snapped her body around like clockwork and rushed towards the rainbow color cave.

In a split second, Aniela swiftly reached the entrance of the rainbow color cave. However, right as she neared the entrance, Aniela's Spirit Sense went insane! 

Her eyes fully widened in surprise now.

Very rarely, since Aniela started her journey, would she have this sense. A death sense that alerted her that her life is heavily at risk from immense danger! 

Immediately Aniela forgone going into the cave, lit up her body in a faint white glow, and instantly flung herself to her left. With telekinesis shrouding her body, she just barely managed to safely hit the ground.

'CHI~!!' 

Shooting out from the rainbow color cave like a nuke was a tremendously powerful rainbow beam of pure energy! 

The rainbow beam of pure energy shot off with lightning-like speeds, disappearing into the far horizon.

And as the rainbow beam of pure energy tore through the air, the snowy gray mixed ground split into two wherever the rainbow color beam traveled. 

"Huuu~...." Aniela had to inhale a sharp cold breath after that.

Just a split second later, and she would've taken the full brunt of that incredible power. And even Aniela didn't know whether or not she would've survived that kind of power that made her Spirit Senses go frantic.

At the same time the rainbow color beam shot forth from the cave, Darcel and Masami were just now coming down from confusion. 

They were entirely taken by surprise again by a sudden immense surge of power.

However, before either of them could react, their eyes snapped back towards the cave. Immediate cold sweat began to pour down their eyebrows. 

Just like how Aniela experienced it, Darcel and Masami also felt their Spirit Senses frantically go off.

Their Spirit Senses alerted them to something quickly shooting towards them and can directly threaten their lives! 

At the roof of the rainbow color cave, an equally rainbow color glow shrouded the top. Instantly when the rainbow color glow formed, another rainbow color energy beam blasted from the roof of the cave! 

Masami's three foxtails abruptly shined an intense blue glow, fueling her body with a short burst of power.

Clenching Darcel's hand, Masami shot towards the ground like a missile. 

They both felt their clothes rustle as they just narrowly avoided the rainbow color beam. Once crashing into the ground, Darcel and Masami snapped their eyes over to Aniela.

Masami felt a massive relief that Aniela managed to safely fling herself to the ground, avoiding a life-risking injury. 

But Darcel felt a rush of anger boom inside his body and soul.

Just a split second slower, and who knows what would've happened to Aniela! Darcel absolutely couldn't accept the thought of Aniela getting even slightly hurt at all.

Abruptly then, a deep Darkness glow entirely shrouded Darcel's bloodline arm as he erupted his full power all at once! 

"Ehh??" Masami felt a massive wave of warmth wash over her despite Darcel's full power blaring out in the area.

She snapped her eyes over to Darcel and was a bit shocked at some minute differences in his appearance. 

A complete Darkness glow aura shrouded his legs, and on his bloodline arm, his black feathers tore through his clothes and began writhing about.

"I got this." Darcel swiftly stated while letting go of Masami's hand. 

He had then blasted off towards the rainbow color cave, splitting the ground apart from the sheer force of his full power.

"Fast." 

Masami quietly uttered as her eyes had trouble keeping up with Darcel's new speed. In just a split second, he was already within a few meters from the rainbow color cave. 

But immediately, Masami felt her Spirit Senses frantically go off once again. Her worry shot up for Darcel since the speed he was going at, he would not be able to dodge the next attack in time! 

Masami didn't put any thought into her following action. In that instant, Masami surged her full power and was about to dash right to Darcel. 

However, it would be quickly made clear to Masami that her support would be unneeded.

'Chi!' 

Another rainbow color energy beam blasted out of the cave's entrance and blitzed straight towards Darcel. Truthfully, Darcel also realized as well there is no course of action for him to doge anymore.

But Darcel wasn't planning on dodging in the first place. 

In fact, at full power, his Spirit Sense barely reacted to the upcoming rainbow color energy beam. 

A mass of Darkness energy instantly swirled around Darcel's left palm.

He strutted out his Darkness energy palm towards the rainbow color energy beam and met it in a head-on frontal collision! 

'BANG!!' 

Darcel's Darkness energy palm slammed on the rainbow color energy beam and completely stopped it in its place!

Darcel felt his leg dig deep into the ground, keeping his balance still. 

Even as the clash of their powers chaotically stormed the area, Darcel didn't lose his footing while clutching on to the rainbow color energy beam.

A slight burning sensation tried to torch Darcel's hand, but he easily ignored this little pain. 

On Darcel's Darkness Energy palm, each of his five fingertips promptly intensified a Darkness Energy ball.

Immediately, five Darkness tendrils shot forth from each of Darcel's five fingertips. His Darkness tendrils instantly wrapped around the whole length of the rainbow color energy beam.

Now, the rainbow color energy beam power became suppressed under Darcel's Darkness tendrils. 

The rainbow color energy beam couldn't even writhe under Darcel's palm anymore as its power started to get disruptive.

Darcel felt his smirk grow wider. He continuously poured an overabundance of power into his Darkness tendrils. 

From the Darkness tendrils, his Darkness Energy chaotically invaded inside the rainbow color energy beam, making the energy ferociously shake.

At Darcel's full power, the rainbow color energy beam simply couldn't contend with his Darkness Essence. 

The rainbow color energy beam quickly gained a deep Darkness shade, and right then,

'PUFF~!!' 

The whole rainbow color energy beam imploded into a profound black hazy mist! 

Masami had stopped in the middle of surging her power and was quite impressed at Darcel's ability.

In just a span of a few short seconds, Darcel annihilated the rainbow color energy beam like it was nothing. It was rather impressive for Masami seeing as this attack was directly threatening their lives a few seconds before.

Aniela as well watched with an impressed gaze while she lifted herself off the ground. She didn't even know Darcel could use his Darkness tendrils in such a creative way like that.

After destroying the rainbow color beam, Darcel didn't stop at all. 

He instantly dashed into the rainbow color cave without any hindrance. Once inside, his dominating aura locked onto the lone figure there.

"Wha-wha?!?" 

Raven Likal was still utterly gobsmacked by everything that had just transpired. His only good arm was holding onto a rainbow color Crystalline that was continuously pulsating.

The rainbow color Crystalline floated independently in midair, and its luster had slightly dimmed after the continuous attacks.

And as soon as Darcel dashed in here, Raven Likal felt as if death itself had come to claim him. He couldn't surge any Magic Power or move at all. 

And Darcel wasn't going to give Raven Likal a chance to think.

He crossed the short distance between them in a half-second, violently grasped Raven Likal's bloody neck, and holstered him up into the air. 

Raven Likal's eyes nearly popped out of his socket.

In just an instant, he couldn't breathe anymore as Darcel's hand crushed down on his windpipe. 

"Hmph." Darcel disdainfully snorted and tightly clenched his hand, completely crushing Raven Likal's neck.

The light in Raven Likal's eyes immediately vanished. His body went limp, and all Darcel was holding in his hand was a Mage corpse. Even in death, Raven Likal couldn't tell just what kind of monstrous freaks killed him and their whole group.

Darcel was indifferent as he had just scored his first Mage's kill. 

The only thing noteworthy he saw about them so far in terms of battle was that unique skill that had let him run away from Aniela.

Darcel dropped Raven Likal's feet to his feet and turned around to the entrance of the cave. 

Aniela and Masami had quickly rushed in and became even further impressed when seeing that Raven Likal's corpse at his feet.
