Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

Chapter 221 - Priceless Reaction (b)

Lady Charlotte, Young Master Regis, the inquisitor of the magician association, and all the people around them knew that they weren't strong enough to block that attack. Yet, Elliot did that too effortlessly, almost as if he was stopping a bug from approaching him by throwing it a deadly glare!

'So perfect and mighty, nearly above the entire magician community in terms of strength! How good it will be to have a son-in-law like him!'

Lady Charlotte even started to have a change in her thought process.

It wasn't just her that had such thoughts; many others were already pairing their grandchildren and daughters with Elliot in their minds!

"This time, Elliot had made the serpentine devil completely lose its face!"

Instructor Leonardo and the other members of the felt resistance felt relieved. They were already no longer next to the barrier. Instead, they were in the eternal snow zone! Although no one could see or sense them as they were hiding behind a thick-ass cloud, it doesn't change the fact that Leonardo had unsealed his power and injured himself to go to Elliot's aid, and the elders had joined him unconditionally. He teleported next to Elliot and was about to pick him up and whisk away when he saw that Elliot's shield managed to book the devil's attack. So, he went away without picking him up.

From the time he teleported next to Elliot and then teleported away with the five elders, everything happened in the split of a second.

Thus, Elliot and the others failed to notice his arrival.

Instructor Leonardo had a deadly poison inside of his body. The leader of the resistance used the seal to suppress it. However, as his sad and dampening fate would have it, it also sealed a great deal of his strength, causing him to degrade to the rank of magic lords.

Currently, if others could sense him, his strength was no less than a magic emperor!

Though, the price he had to say was visible on his face. He was bleeding from his eyes, nose, ears, and every hole of his body! He was injured, but he didn't regret it. No matter what, even if time were to turn back, he would've still charged in blindly to protect Elliot.

The boy was too talented! He was still young yet comparable to the like of the emperor. After another ten years, wouldn't he surpass one?!

"Now is the best time to make a move and take him out of this place."

The elders wanted to grab Elliot and drag him out of this settlement. However, they dared not make a move without the orders of their leader.

The instructor replied in a calm voice, "No, let's wait and watch what he will do next."

Leonardo believed that Elliot would be able to solve this situation without their help.

Meanwhile, the topic of everyone's attention was arrogantly staring at the crimson eyeball.

"That's it?

Those two words were simple, but in the current situation, they were as sharp as twin swords.

Why?!

"How could it be possible?! That was my most powerful attack!"

That's why!

All because the attack was the ultimate move of the serpentine devil.

It used to have another one, but it lost it after Its lord found out about its crimes!

The serpentine devil's face was full of wrinkles, and it was without any scales and skin. Both things were ripped off his flesh because of the lashing it ate weeks ago, and they still hadn't shown any signs of regrowing on his skin. So, it looked hideous. And when it saw Elliot effortlessly blocking its attack, its expression crumpled, causing it to look even uglier as if it was a featherless duck suffering from constipation.

"Why shouldn't it be possible? I'm physically and magically stronger than you, so of course, It makes sense that I will be able to block your trashy attack."

Elliot's taunt pierced its heart, causing it to rage more.

Who was it?

It was the great serpent, and currently, the 72nd ranked demonic general of Lord Belphegor's army!

It used its most vigorous attack to destroy this mortal!

Yet, it failed!

Simply devastating!

It felt even more mentally injured because of Elliot's words.

"Hey, if you're just going to stay behind that crack in space and stay silent, then you better scram back to the rat hole you crawled out of. Stop ruining my fun, you weakling."

It had conquered several worlds, four in total!

So, how the hell was it a weakling?!

Elliot's words got on its nerves, pinching them repeatedly.

"Today, I will teach you that there's a price to pay for overbearing arrogance!"

Without any hesitation, it let the ritual continue as intended. It no longer cared about Tyler. It could just search for a talented subordinate in another world. For now, it wanted to give it all in killing Elliot. It wasn't a fool. It could tell that Elliot was a young human mortal, not even a fully grown one. So, it came to believe that Elliot would become more potent if given enough time. That's why it decided to strangle the child in the cradle and now allow it to grow up. Only then would it feel safe and satisfied with the situation.

Everyone saw a dark figure slowly seeping out of the crimson eyes and getting out of the gaping black hole in space. That dark line was the chaotic power of the serpentine devil, a part of its total strength.

It moved in mid-air and charged towards Tyler. Now, both Elliot and instructor Leonardo could make a move to stop it from reaching its target. However, they didn't make a single move. One was doing it solely for greed. The stronger Tyler gets, the more essence of life he would earn after butchering him up! The other wanted to probe Elliot's limit.

"Ugh!"

The black line descended inside Tyler's messed up, muscular body, causing his body to inflate even more!
