‘Something’s not right.’
Nodiesop looked around.
He was certain that Lukas was somewhere on this island. After all, in the first place, he’d come here after sensing his presence.
Nevertheless, ever since he’d entered the island, he’d completely lost all traces of the man’s aura. It was completely gone as if he had disappeared into thin air.
At first, he thought that he was just hiding from him and waiting for a chance to strike when he let his guard down. Nodiesop knew that Lukas’ current level of power couldn’t compare to his, but in the end, he was still an Absolute. He was certain to have at least one trump card hidden in his sleeves, so Nodiesop made sure to pay close attention to his surroundings.
Water was flowing all around them. In other words, the entirety of Dragon God Island had become his ‘territory’.
‘…I should test it first.’
With that thought in mind, Nodiesop used even more of his external power than before.
“…!”
Leo and Min Ha-rin sensed the change in their opponent’s momentum at the same time and stepped back. They had caught on quickly, but his attack wasn’t something that they could avoid in the first place.
“Die.”
Piht-
A jet of water shot towards Leo with unstoppable force. There was quite a bit of his external force in that stream of water. At the very least, it was at a level that Leo wouldn’t be able to dodge or block.
‘What will you do, Lukas?’
If he didn’t do anything, his disciple would die.
“Kuuaap!”
Leo called upon all the mana in his body.
This attack was different from before. There was no room for him to conserve his strength.
Warrior King Fist. Rock Shield.
It was a defense technique that boosted the defensive ability of the entire body to the maximum, but this time, he didn’t use it to cover his entire body. Instead, Leo concentrated on protecting his vital points before focusing the rest of his mana on the palms of his hands.
Clang!
The stream collided with his palms, and for a moment, Leo’s mind went blank.
“…”
Blood gushed from his lips that he’d bitten subconsciously, but he couldn’t even afford to wipe it away. If he stopped focusing for even a moment, his palms would be pierced through by the stream of water.
“Kuk!”
Min Ha-rin tried to use the opportunity to attack Nodiesop, but she was sent flying by a wave of water with just a gesture of his hand.
‘Is he still not coming out?’
This had been a gamble for Nodiesop. At that moment, he’d revealed an opening. Even if it was intentional, such an opening was an opportunity that Lukas would never pass up.
If he ignored even this opportunity, then…
“Lukas isn’t around here. Or if he is, he can’t afford to attack.”
“…!”
Although he muttered those words, they easily reached Leo’s ears.
Nodiesop’s expression immediately became one of disinterest. Either way, the result was very bland and boring for him.
“Without Lukas, there’s no need for me to hold back against a couple small fries.”
Pipipiht-
Countless droplets of water appeared in the air.
When he saw this, Leo’s expression became solemn. Just blocking one stream of water made it feel like his entire body was going to break apart. If he were to be hit by that many droplets of water, the result would be obvious.
It was at that moment.
Taht!
Min Ha-rin, who had been sent flying by the waves just a moment ago, came rushing back.
Nodiesop made an expression of annoyance.
“There’s no need to push. Even if you didn’t, you’d still be next.”
He shook his hand.
The droplets of water shot towards Min Ha-rin.
Min Ha-rin swung her sword towards the droplets. Leo couldn’t bear to watch. He’d already been put in such a state by one drop of water if it were three drops…
Papapat!
“…!”
However, an unbelievable scene occurred.
With a flash of light, the three droplets of water were sliced apart in an instant. This sight caused Nodiesop’s eyes to widen, creating a brief opening.
Naturally, Min Ha-rin didn’t hesitate to get close to him and take advantage of that opening.
Shuk!
She stabbed her sword upwards. Her intention was to pierce through his jaw and into his brain, but Nodiesop managed to tilt his head backward at the last moment.
Swoosh!
Nodiesop took a few steps backward. This was the first time he’d been forced to make such a defensive action.
“Huu.”
Min Ha-rin slowly exhaled and lowered her gaze to her sword.
On the tip of her sword was a drop of blood.
Piht-
At the same time, Nodiesop’s chin split slightly and another drop of blood dripped down.
He was injured.
She’d hurt him.
“…”
Nodiesop’s expression became frighteningly cold. His golden eyes turned to look behind Min Ha-rin.
His gaze was focused on the white-haired human that had appeared there.
“…I see. So it’s the Communicator from Earth. With the help of his power, your physical abilities and even your attack power were greatly enhanced.”
Arid clenched his fists.
That was close. If he had been a little later, Leo would have died.
“We injured him.”
Although it was just a small scratch, it was true that they’d managed to make Nodiesop bleed.
Victory was in sight. (TL: I’m not sure that’s how that works guys…) (PR: Like taking candy from a giant flamethrowing Gundamized Orochi!)
This proved that it wasn’t a fight that they had no chance of winning.
“Senior sister, senior brother. I’m here to help you.”
Arid spoke with a solemn tone.
“Our counterattack begins now.”
* * *
The Black Sorcerer looked down at the pale faced man laying on the ground in front of him.
“White Sorcerer, how much longer do you intend to stay here?”
“…”
“We have already been delayed for a long time. We should return quickly. The Priestess is in danger.”
“I know that, but… the Priestess ordered us to rescue this man.”
“Right. But staying here won’t undo what has already happened.”
The White Sorcerer knew that too.
Nevertheless, she didn’t want to leave so easily.
This wasn’t because she hadn’t been able to complete their orders.
Instead, it was because she had the feeling that something was wrong.
“There is no blood in his face, and his fingertips are cold. More importantly, his heart has stopped beating. We… were too late.”
The Black Sorcerer looked down at Lukas before continuing in a solemn voice.
“This man is already dead.”
