Chapter 84 Unmatched

Journey down the mountain was not so hard, even for Northern. He leaped into the air and dove down, feeling the wind brush against his skin heavily as he plunged downwards.

Almost reaching the ground, he materialized the Mortal Blade and stabbed it into the rocky stone of the mountain with frightening fierceness.

Then he killed his speed instantly with his legs, landing against the mountain wall but with more power in his legs. All that power was forced into the mountain wall, creating a loud shockwave..

It didn't even take him a minute to come up with something almost impossible to do.

'Was this what it meant by understanding my body?' Northern wondered.

He dislodged the Mortal Blade, dismissing it back into his soul, then he slid down the mountain and landed on its base.

The rest was a walk downwards.

Night Terror had landed on the ground with just a single jump. And was already closer to the gloomy forest than Northern was.

After a couple minutes of walking, Northern entered the forest.

This time he didn't need to be as cautious as he was the last time because of his inability to see.

Even though it was a thick darkness, Northern walked through indifferently.

The light orb materialized beside him, its luminance was being absorbed by the darkness and for once, Northern's torchlight was utterly useless.

'Not that I expected it to do anything it was just supposed to be a test'

He could see the position of the Corpse Eaters, could see the crawling insects on the ground, the state of his soil even if he wanted to.

All little details did not escape his eyes.

'I don't know if I'm ever going to get used to this…its just so amazing.'

Once again Northern allowed a grin that made him look perverse.

"Oh well then, should I have some action too?"

Northern summoned the Silver Sword and twirled it before dashing into the darkness.

With a profound grasp of his entire body, Northern was fast!

He was like a flash of light in the darkness. His sword easily cut through the flesh of the monsters like it was cutting tofu.

Slashing in arcs as Northern slipped between them, dodging their onslaught effortlessly and stabbing through with the silver sword.

His eyes played a much larger role than he thought it would.

And it only excited him more.

His pupils shot across in multiple direction, taking in all the location of approaching Corpse Eaters in less than a fraction of second.

Then with a profound understanding of his own body, Northern darted into the sphere of attack, like a lightning dancer, streaked amongst the monsters.

The Silver sword was like flashes dancing in darkness as he sliced monsters with oily fluidity.

Despite Night Terror having decimated almost all the monsters, Northern was still faced with a flooding amount of Corpse Eaters.

But they were so easy to kill.

Before, he struggled because of he couldn't see through the darkness. Now, he strode and sliced them apart as they jumped onto him, his sword flashing through the darkness with a frightening accuracy.

Sometimes he didn't even look at what he was tearing with his sword.

As a group of Corpse Eater lunged at him from the front. Northern wrenched his sword from the body of his most recent key.

Resetting his grip on the hilt for a throw, he swung his arms powerfully forward, propelling the sword through the air.

The Silver Sword impaled the first monster, hurled it backward as though it had no weight and also stabbed through the second out before wedging into the tree.

"Yes!"

He didn't actually think it would work but it did.

'Two monsters huh… I guess that's as far as my full power can go for now'

With seven hundred plus talent fragments, he felt incredibly strong but in reality he was just…

Northern shook his head rigorously.

'No no no, don't do that North' He stopped himself. Then his eyes blazed with flames of determination, slightly illuminating the part of the darkness where he stood.

'We've come so far already. Let's appreciate ourselves for a job well done but no complacency. I will close down thus rift and become the strongest'

He summoned the Mortal Blade again, dismissing the silver sword in the process.

Then weaved through with the onyx sword merging with the darkness as it flashed across.

After a couple of minutes, Northern and Night Terror where standing outside the gloomy forest.

"I guess that took shorter than the last time" He whispered looking back.

His brows furrowed, lines of frustration straining forehead, then added in a low tone:

"Those bastards kept running away."

Corpse Eaters were by far the lamest of monsters Northern had come across in the rift.

They are monsters that only eat dead things, although their hunger and number had given them the audacity to go for more. To challenge a living thing.

But now, the walker and hellion had instilled in them so much fear that they would never approach anything that breathes, even if it's harmless.

Northern and Night Terror had become more formidable than they ever were—thanks to the Vestige of the Chaos Prince.

Night Terror was about to start moving but Northern immediately stopped him.

"What the hell are you doing?!" He shouted, quickly grabbing the monsters left hand.

Northern quickly released the hand after almost freezing from the itchy feel of its furs. Moreso, Night Terror looked like he was about to bite his head of, allowing a very fierce low snarl the moment he touched the monster.

"Ahem…" Northern looked away, "I mean, you are not thinking of going through the same route we escaped through did you?"

The monster looked confused but stared at him nonetheless.

Northern after a few seconds of silence, sighed and explained:

"See, that was where we escaped through. Most definitely, they would have sealed that place off the moment they find out we escaped. Even if it is unsealed, it will be because they expect you to come back through that same route. A trap may be lying there you know"

'Or am I giving them too much credit'

Even he was not sure… he could be overthinking it. But either way, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Night Terror at this point was paying attention to him. Perhaps the monster found what he is saying to be reasonable.

Northern was happy with the terror's response, so he continued:

"So, instead of doing what they expect, how about doing what they don't expect."

His eyes flickered viciously.
