Chapter 222 The Troublemaker.
Chapter 222 The Troublemaker.
By appearing?? instantly in front of the next guard, his shadow wavered once again and connected to his target’s; slowing down his movements as with Belom.
But before Alvine made the same attack path, the second guard did not let himself be done so easily! His spear was instantly impregnated with scarlet thunder, followed by his body which was bathed in its turn!
However, despite everything, his speed was still as slow as Alvine's first victim.
Yet when the guard saw the two daggers move as crosses toward his neck, he let his lightning burst in all directions, and struck Alvine with an electric shock that could not be countered by any mage of his level; forcing him to step away from him by tens steps!
"Kekeke!! I can't believe that Belom was fooled by an insect. This is what happens when a person underestimates an insect too much." The guard mocked him with these words arrogantly while watching Alvine be perpetually tased by his lightning.
As for the latter, knowing that his deadly attack did not reach its target, he immediately changed his strategy.
"Sigh, It's a shame, a painless death would be the best way for you. But by refusing this way, you created your own hell." While Alvine nonchalantly pronounced these words, his scarlet red aura rose around him to the point of creating a disturbance in the surrounding energy flows.
"Be careful, he’s very dangerous! Let's all attack it at the same time!" The guard stammered these words as his ethereal golden energy rose around him.
Even if Alvine's aura clearly showed them that he was an emperor mage, the pressure emanating from his aura was not lower than that of intermediate rank divine mage; hence his inexplicable fear towards Alvine!
His body flashed and appeared in front of Alvine with an impossible speed and instantly pierced his heart with his spear.
-Pierce!!
At the same time, Alvine, who did not have time to counter the guard's attack, was pierced by his opponent's spear!
As for last, Feeling his spear’s tip in his target's chest, his agitated expression became normal and placid; carried by an obvious madness. "Kekeke!! Die, son of b*tch!" He madly shouts these words by twisting his spear in Alvine's chest while electrocuting him with the densest lightning that emanates from the spear.
But his smile slowly faded after a minute. His enemy, who was supposed to die for about ten seconds, was still standing on both feet, constantly receiving his thunder in his heart.
'Well, now I am sure that this body is stronger than I imagined. If I make good use of its powers, I would be as strong as Miss Luna and Mr. Darka!' Alvine, whose goal was apparently to experience the limits, skills, resistance, and other factors of his body; grabs the soldier's spear with his bare hand, without his expression turning in pain; and trying to kill him for good with his shade-scythe!
As for the guard, his incredulous expression turns into a horrible expression, following his eyes that land on a Black War Scythe that has just appeared from nowhere in Alvine's right hand.
Seeing that not only had his attack not brought the desired effect, but also that his spear was seized by his enemy, his only escape was to leave his spear with the enemy and move away from him. But at that moment, he realized that the same strange event had occurred; his movements mysteriously slowed down, preventing him from moving away in time!
"Hah~, you just can't die quietly?" Alvine mocked when he saw the other guards cast long-range magical attacks on him to prevent him to kill his enemy!
-BOOM!
After this great explosion following the other three divine mages' magic attack effects, Everyone calmed down and nervously waited for the black smoke to fade.
-Ughhh!
Instantly, as the toxic black smoke dispersed, a decapitated demonic corpse was lying on the ground, followed by the suffocating cries of the third elven guard who was the furthest from the battlefield!
From the beginning, the Alvine clone fought with Luna and Darka's skills. Shadow chains are a spiritual skill that allows Darka to prevent her targets from moving for a while. Luna's skill that he used, was stealth and her assassin's skills.
The guard who wanted to cry in pain but could not make sounds, instantly lost the glows of life in his eyes, following the deadly pain caused by Alvine's dagger which pierced his neck as it came out of his throat!
-*Smirk* Well, who's the turn? We still have a lot of time left before my escort comes. It is therefore quite reasonable that we continue the festivities." Alvine canceled the stealth skill he had used and his presence was revealed behind the elven guard's corpse!
After killing the third guard, he walked on his corpse and stopped in front of the other two guards with an erratic smile.
Not to mention underestimating Alvine, The last two guards were rather afraid for their lives. At that moment, they understood that Alvine was not an arrogant man, but rather their worst enemy who kills people for pleasure!
-Tuuuuuut!!
Among the last two guards, one who was a human with silvery white hair, like Alvine's, took out a war horn and blew into it to call for reinforcements.
Following the horn’s sounds, dozens of divine mages surrounded Alvine, who always stood nonchalantly in his place. "Heh!! well, It seems that My escort actually wants to push me to the limit to see my skills with her own eyes. It's perfect, it’ll save me even more time!"
After having this conclusion, following the absence of Serena's messenger, he had made another decision; 'Let's kill as much as we can, it'll be the form of support that I'd bring to my lord!' He said to himself while dropping the two daggers that disappeared before reaching the ground.
Following this, his body began to turn into its original shape, which was as large as the legendary race of giants, endowed with the dragon's wings from which Alvine himself does not know where they come; but the most impressive was the black scales that covered his whole body, the shark's teeth that emerged in his mouth following his strange smile.
"!!"
Seeing the obvious fear in their eyes, Alvine's clone had a more diabolical smile that is no different from the real Alvine. 'Ahhh~, I feel good in this body! I even doubt that Luna can defeat me in my current state!' He said to Himself while showing off his shark teeth.
Following this and seeing that no one intended to attack him, he began the festivities against the low-ranking divine guards!
Since his creation, like the other shadow soldiers, he was not really weak, but it's just that he had not had the body intended for him since the beginning. But it's different now!
__
At the same time, in Dominic Royal Palace... Serena was sitting on Sofia's throne while the divine King, Brave Hidenbrid, and Zanac were on the councilors' armchairs.
'Who is this bastard who dares to kill my guards?!' Divine king Brave wondered while looking at Alvine's gigantic clone who was facing fifty divine guards; in a giant mirror that had been made by Serena.
"Mistress, if we don't stop this madman, he will annihilate all my soldiers!" King Brave asked once again.
Since Alvine's first murder, he had wanted to intervene by sending one of his captains to kill him. But Serena had formally forbidden him to intervene or give any order to his captain or generals. But the most frustrating thing was to learn that not only did his generals not take seriously the threat of an emperor mage, but they formally prohibited their squads from intervening to take care of a simple emperor mage.
"Fufufu~, little Brave, it's not my fault if your guards are weaker than flies. I would like to see the limits of this man with whom my sister is obsessed." She replied nonchalantly while ingesting a little wine while her other hand played with the small medallion.
Brave slam his tongue once again and sat in his armchair. On the other hand, even if he was irate against Alvine’s clone, he was furious about his guards letting themselves be mistreated by a simple emperor mage who was a little stronger than the others.
He first thought Alvine’s clone was the three queens’ master card, but after seeing Alvine's gigantic shape, he concluded that he belonged to the giant race. 'Tsk, a hybrid?! Why do giants that are known to be legendary beings suddenly appear on this planet? What's special about this planet?' He wondered while watching the battle with an incredulous expression.
"Mistress, tell me at least who is this bastard who came to sow chaos while we are daring to attract the other bastard here? Is this giant one of the allies of this incubus bastard?"
Hearing these questions from him, a mischievous smile appears on Serena's lips. "Little Brave, don't you even know the identity of this man? Sigh, no wonder your men are so useless, after all, they have a useless sovereign!" She said, mocking Brave.
Zanac, who wanted to answer Serena for disrespecting his king, was stopped by the latter who shook his head. *Don't put your life in danger for anything.* He made this brief reminder to Zanac who nervously gulped his saliva by remembering Serena's cruelty.
Hearing him advise his subordinate on time by telepathy, Serena did not punish Zanac. Instead, she gave a brief answer to Brave.
"This man is neither a hybrid of the giant race nor an ally of your opponents; he is the person I have been waiting for... for two days."
"... H-how... the person you've been waiting for? Wasn't it that bastard of incubus you were waiting for?" Brave asked suspiciously...
"Yes, he’s the so-called incubus that you hate with all your soul. But you have had false ideas about this man's identity from the beginning. He's not the person you thought he was, he has nothing to do with the latter."
Hearing Serena's words, Brave's heart missed a beat. But instantly, an uncontrollable rage manifested itself in his heart. He clench his fist and pronounced in a furious tone; "I don't care if he's or not this bastard's direct descendant; I’d kill all people who are of the same kind as him! This is the minimum price I’d charge him for preventing me from reaching a higher rank than that of a high-level divine mage!"
Following this, he no longer paid attention to Serena's warnings and words; he instantly teleported out of the throne room to arrest Alvine himself.
'Sigh, what an idiot. If you think that just luck and talent are enough to dream of touching part of this power... sigh, even this madman Randolph has been facing this challenge for millennia. Anyway, it's a good thing that you go to fight him, I want to see what he’ll be able to do against a high-level divine mage!' She said to herself, looking at the mirror with interest.
