Chapter 57 Inner Circle (2)
Ragna Newgate.
An overwhelming man that mirrors strength itself. Born in the mountains, he was taken care of by the Old Man in the Mountains.
His story was simply splendid, one that could make people sigh and say—Heaven is unfair, men are born unequal.
As one of the biggest talents of the generation, Ragna had an extraordinary childhood.
At the age of six, he was able to crack a stone.
At the age of eight, he was able to uproot trees.
At the age of ten, he was able to tear down mutated monsters.
At the age of thirteen, he was able to wrestle beast kings.
At the age of sixteen, he was already eating beast emperors as lunch.
Talent, strength, potential… Ragna Newgate had it all. There was no other genius comparable to the physical strength he possessed.
"Out of everyone we could've met, why did it have to be him?"
Elias pensively muttered out loud. He already knew that there was a high chance of meeting the other prodigies in the inner circle.
In the novel, Rain Violetstar and Sumi Aethereal formed an unofficial team and also crossed paths with another genius of the generation in the inner circle.
With that in mind, he had already expected to meet the other talented prodigies. He even considered the possible scenarios that could happen when he meets them.
Truthfully speaking, with his current strength, he was not that worried about the other prodigies in a fight—well, except for Rain Violetstar.
'Rain is the main character, after all, I have an extremely small chance of beating him when he goes Unrestricted…'.
But if there was someone he found troublesome, even with his current strength, it would have to be Ragna Newgate. It was just difficult to fight with that man.
Ragna had a talent called [Totem Deity]—an extremely overpowered talent.
Like a Totem incarceration, the talent granted him a powerful totem body that could assimilate with anything it devours.
To be exact, [Totem Deity] allowed him to devour other living beings and gain a fraction of their strength and abilities.
But it was not without limits, it was impossible to have such a broken talent so there was a restriction placed upon it by the world's will.
Elias looked at Celestia and Hajin.
"Step back."
Without asking why, Celestia smiled and took a step back.
Hajin followed as well, slightly confused. But he wasn't going to disobey—he was practically at his weakest state right now, recovering from his mana exhaustion.
"Are you going to fight him?"
"Probably."
Although he said that, Elias was sure. He knew of Ragna enough to know that the man would just recklessly attack anyone by Instinct.
'How much strength should I use?'
Ragna's physical abilities were merely icing on the cake, the most terrifying aspect of him was his variety of abilities and nearly indestructible body.
He wasn't holding back for no reason—it was vital to preserve his strength and mana reserves until the climactic battle of the academy examination arc.
At that moment, Ragna could be seen laughing. He leaped into the air, with two fluorescent wings sprouting behind his back.
Woosh—!
Without the slightest hesitation, Ragna flew to them. He was like a falcon, intimidating and quick. He was already rapidly shrinking the distance between them.
"Wind Eagle…"
Elias muttered out loud. A wind eagle was a mutated beast, their most memorable abilities were their wings that could be supported by wind to be extremely fast.
Ragna was using the Wind Eagle's abilities.
Thinking of that, he reached out to his pocket and took out a black revolver—Slaughterer
"1 minute."
Elias suddenly said with a calm expression. He pointed at Ragna, who was flying rapidly, and shot continuously until all the bullets were exhausted!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…
At that moment, seven bullets with seven different colors were shot into the air—each of them contained different abilities!
Dark Restriction, Lethality, Sanction, Verglass, Blinding Light, Temporal, Soul Crusher…
From the distance, Ragna's pupils shrank. While using the wind eagle's abilities, the wind was powered up around him.
That means, the wind just didn't make him fly faster, it also made the bullets approaching him propel faster!
Immediately recognizing this, Ragna had two choices; to deactivate the wind eagle's abilities or to head in and try to dodge the bullets.
The best choice was obviously the first one! However, Ragna smiled widely—he wasn't the one to pick the boring choice, that was for sure.
At that moment, Ragna flew straight towards the flying bullets, disregarding everything with a wide smile on his face.
Dark Restriction came first, and Ragna, seeing the ominous dark bullet, slightly steered away and dodged it at breakneck speed.
However, just as he dodged, Lethality flew towards him like a meteor—but this time Ragna didn't dodge and wore a wide grin.
Ragna flew straight towards Lethality!
Boom!
As Lethality exploded into a flaming vestiges of destruction, his robes were burned to a crisp but there was no damage in his body!
"Hahahahahaha! Not bad, but this is too boring!"
Ragna laughed in enjoyment. At this moment, the other bullets suddenly stopped mid-air and self-destructed altogether!
Boom! Boom!
Ragna raised his brows, impressed. However, he didn't find the need to steer away—on the contrary, he wanted to test them!
He went inside the explosions, fully accepting the attacks in a confrontation. While doing so, he had a wide grin.
Smoke erupted like fog, covering his figure. After a few seconds, Ragna came out of the smoke with only a slightly messed up body!
"Hahahahahaha! Good try, marksman! Those bullets were special...!"
While rapidly flying, Ragna laughed without care. It was as though he wasn't damaged at all!
"This guy is insane!"
Hajin muttered out loud in shock. Even if he did not know the extent of the capabilities of Slaughterer, he knew it was a very powerful arcane weapon.
To just scoff it off like it was nothing—the long-haired man flying towards them was extremely strong!
In fact, Hajin was not sure if he could beat Ragna… unless he brought that thing out. But he would never bring that out. Hajin shook his head and looked at his cousin.
Extraordinarily, Elias was still calm. It was as though there was nothing surprising—sometimes Hajin thought of his cousin as emotionless.
Woosh!
At that moment, Ragna arrived above them and deactivated the wings.
Bam!
With a loud crashing sound, Ragna dropped to the ground in front of them. He stood tall, like a monstrous behemoth, he had an overwhelming presence.
Ragna looked down, staring at Elias with a grin.
"It's game over, marksman."
Elias simply stared back and didn't reply.
