Chapter 383 An Intense Clash Against A Mysterious Figure!
-----
A person wearing black robes emerged. Her voice was clearly female, but slightly distorted, perhaps by the magic mask she was wearing. She was covered in the same robes that the other people was wearing, their were black and blue, with a big purple eye in the middle of the hood, which concealed their hair. Her presence was powerful, emanating a strong aura of darkness.
"It is truly a pain you would be in here with your father… What a pain." She sighed.
"Huh? Who are you?! How do you know my father?!" I asked.
"Tch, as if I couldn't even know the famous S Rank Adventurer that has been going around walking everywhere, acting kindly to people and like an asshole to others… His daughter and wife are a topic of conversation literally everywhere…" The woman answered.
"Are you targeting us?!" I asked angrily.
"Targeting you? No way. In fact, our plan is already ruined just because YOU and your father are here… But at the very least, I feel like I am capable enough to deal with a spoiled little half-elf." She said with a slight chuckle.
She spoke with "us" so she was probably referring to the other robbed people. Were they some sort of organization? A cult, perhaps? What's their big deal? What do they want to do here? Is this a terrorist attack or something?
"What are your intentions…?" I asked once more, coating my sword with black flames, as I took a stance my father had taught me, ready to fight at any moment.
"My intentions… Isn't it easy to guess? I want to make them all pay…"
"Them?"
"All of these rotten people! I want them all dead!"
"What?!"
"I want them to suffer… what we, the demon-kin have suffered!"
"…"
"This might not be the day, but one day… All of you will suffer the same injustices we have all suffered!"
"You're insane!"
"Tch, what would a spoiled little girl, raised in a family of an S-Rank Adventurer know about the world? You live in a bubble. This is reality, girl… This is what it is."
CLASH!
In an instant, she attacked me. The spear she threw at me suddenly turned into black smoke and they emerged in her hand. She grasped the weapon tightly, rushing towards me with all her strength. A dark aura emanated from her body as the sharp spear immediately began to fall over me constantly, as if several needles were trying to pierce through my body.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
She strength of her techniques were incredible, and the durability and speed of her spear was also incredible. The weapon seemed to be infused with her mana, making it even deadlier!
Without thinking it twice, I unleashed [Blade Dance] against her, parrying her attacks. By using consecutive small attacks of my blade like I had practiced with my father, I suddenly surprised her. My sword was also unleashing Cursed Flames, a combination of Beelzebub's element and Ignatius element, these flames could burn strongly and cause curses in wounds, which helped the flames spread out.
"Ngh…?!"
She quickly realized I wasn't a mere kid, as my attacks held a serious amount of weight, she suddenly stepped back as her spear suddenly disappeared from her hand. Not being able to see her face expressions was bad, as it would make it less possible to predict what she was trying to make, that mask she was wearing was a real pain.
CLASH!
A second in the future, I saw a spear piercing through my head, as I evaded it right before it could kill me. I looked at the spear in shock. Was she able to summon it anywhere she wanted, or did it had some limits?
"Oh, you're good!" She said with a fascinated voice. Was she enjoying this?
I immediately pointed my blade at her spear, trying to break it before she could use it again, but the spear immediately disappeared from my sight.
CLASH!
A second time, the spear tried to pierce my stomach, but I ducked into the floor and then unleashed a [Flame Wall] against her, covering her vision. I saw the spear once more disappear before I could catch it.
FLUOOSH!
"Ugh…! How can you conjure fire without any spell?"
While the flames covered her vision, the spear didn't appeared to attack me at any time. This confirmed it, the spear could only be summoned within a certain range from her and only within her field of vision. If her vision was clouded or covered by something else, she was probably not able to summon her spear to attack something behind the object covering her sight.
"How? Well, they call us Sorcerers."
I immediately surged from within the [Flame Wall], generating a dozen of [Blazing Spears] and firing them at her at point blank!
"Shit…!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
She immediately summoned the spear into her hands as she began to rotate it, using the rotation force as a shield to not let the Blazing Spears hit her completely. Explosions of flames were unleashed one after the other, as she was blocking my magic rather proficiently.
SLASH!
My eyes shone with bright light, as I once more saw a second into the future. Suddenly, a sharp tail emerged from her robe and impaled my left eye. I evaded the blow just barely, as the sharp tip of her tail pierced through my skin, leaving a spar while a purple liquid began to drip from.
Is this venom?!
"Ungh…!"
Suddenly, I felt it.
Originating from the small scratch she made with her tail, I felt an electrifying feeling spreading through my nerves, suddenly trying to stop me from moving.
Yeah, this is paralysis venom!
"Heh, the moment you got scratched by my tail, it is over." She said with a cheeky attitude.
"You think that mere paralyzing venom can do something to me?" I asked. "You'll have to try harder."
