Chapter 1012 Witch Hunt: Souta vs. Gawain
"Then, I'll tie her up and interrogate her after she wakes up," Edeya said, looking at the unconscious Elder Uiny.
Zhang Ren stepped forward and cupped his fist at Bryan. He asked, "Benefactor, you're quite strong. Where are you from?"
"Me? Hmm... I'm from the Hebrei Kingdom," Bryan answered.
"Hebrei Kingdom?" Zhang Ren didn't know where that country was. He thought it was just a small country.
"Hahahaha!!" A laugh resounded, causing them to turn their heads.
Poisonous Vine was laughing madly with her arms open wide. "Hahaha, I'm still alive! I thought you were going to kill me. So why are you on the ground while I'm still laughing here?"
She continued laughing for a minute before she stopped. She looked at Edeya, who was tying up Elder Uiny, and said, "Kill her. It's better for her to die."
Edeya narrowed her eyes and replied, "We still have a lot of questions, so I'm not gonna kill her."
She stared at Poisonous Vine, and Zhang Ren stood beside her. If Poisonous Vine was going to push them, they would fight.
Poisonous Vine looked at them for a few moments before she turned around and said, "Fine, do what you want. I'll give you some advice: don't push your luck. That woman is strong, so don't get ahead of yourself. If she recovers even a little bit, you're gonna regret it."
She then flew into the air and left the area. She knew that Edeya and the rest weren't really her comrades. They simply worked together because Elder Uiny was too strong. Also, it wasn't wise to fight since she knew she would be at a disadvantage.
"She's gone," Edeya muttered, before turning her focus on Elder Uiny once again.
She also didn't want to fight since they were all exhausted. If Bryan hadn't appeared, who knows what would have happened to them.
Zhang Ren looked at Bryan and asked, "Benefactor, you've saved us. I don't think we would have been able to defeat an elder without your help. Can you give us your name?"
"I don't think so. The only reason I was able to defeat her is because you guys already exhausted her. Oh, my name's Bryan Dagruel," Bryan said.
"You're too polite, benefactor. I'll remember your name. In the future, I'll return this favor. I'm a wandering monk, Zhang Ren," Zhang Ren said politely. He then turned his head to look at Captain Sarguan. "I'll go now, benefactor."
Captain Sarguan fell to his knees. He was too tired even though he had only been fighting on the sideline. He raised his head and saw a monk approaching him.
"Stay still. I'll heal some of your wounds," Zhang Ren said as he stretched out his hand and placed his palm on Captain Sarguan's forehead.
A golden glow shone on his palm, enveloping Captain Sarguan.
Princess Iris and Amanda landed on the ground and hurriedly ran to the captain.
Bryan looked at them as Edeya stood beside him, carrying the unconscious elder in her hand.
"I'm Edeya. You've really saved us here," Edeya said. She then glanced at the little girl beside him and asked, "Is she your only friend here?"
"Oh, yeah..." Bryan replied as he patted Tehani's head.
"Hmm..." Edeya stared at Tehani before she said, "So you're a local here, huh? It's been fifteen years since I've left this place. Perhaps, you may have heard of the name Autumn Snow."
"Eh, no, no, I'm not a local here. I don't even know this place," Bryan shook his head.
"If you're not a local, then how did you arrive here?" Edeya raised her eyebrows.
"I don't really know. One day, while I was running from adventurers, a paper appeared in front of me. After some time, the paper appeared again and I found myself here," Bryan explained.
"Wait, where are you from?" Edeya asked.
"Hebrei Kingdom."
"Where's that? No, what region or continent are you from?"
"Giza Continent."
"I see... So you're a witch since you're the one who received the invitation." Edeya nodded as she observed him.
Bryan was being chased by adventurers because of Tehani. The values in Giza Continent were completely different from those in the God's Continent. He was on his way to Ambrosie Country because it was the only country in the Giza Continent where monsters weren't being killed indiscriminately. After all, it was the land of tamers.
Boom!!
The ground shook heavily.
Edeya looked up and said, "The game is still ongoing... The six holy stakes have appeared, so this game will probably conclude soon."
Zhang Ren glanced at Edeya and asked, "What are we going to do?"
Edeya smiled wryly and said, "I don't think we are in a condition to fight again."
Just fighting one elder almost killed them. Who knew how powerful the experts currently fighting in that place were.
"If the Supreme Elders are still alive, then this would become easier..." Edeya said with a sigh.
"Brother Bryan, the shadows are acting weirdly," Tehani pointed out.
Bryan looked at the shadows but didn't say anything. He actually didn't have any idea about this.
Boom!! Boom!!
The ground shook heavily, and the air vibrated. Violent energy sparked in every direction, and the sound of thunder reverberated in the sky.
Souta pointed his sword at Gawain.
"Lifeless Blood Lightning."
A crimson lightning burst out from his blade, traveling a long distance in an instant and arriving in front of Gawain.
Gawain grinned as he turned his sword to the side. The space bent, changing the direction of the lightning. He then stepped forward, directly distorting the space around him.
Ohm!
Souta widened his eyes as he turned his head. The spider limbs on his back moved, blocking something that appeared.
It was Gawain.
"Good instinct," Gawain said with a smile.
"I could say the same to you," Souta replied.
Both of their figures blurred as they clashed in the air. The blood-colored lightning flashed everywhere as the space twisted in all directions.
The collision between the two generated a violent impact as they crashed into the Dream Palace. They kept attacking each other on top of it, sending hundreds of attacks in just a second.
[First Form: Lifeless Tribulation of the Blood Lightning]!
A series of lightning chains descended from the sky, generating a powerful force that tore through the space Gawain had distorted.
Bang!!
Gawain moved at high speed, trying to avoid all the lightning strikes. He slashed his sword from time to time, bending the space and creating a powerful gale to decrease the power of the strikes.
He moved through the air and space, observing Souta who was releasing an overwhelming amount of energy.
"There's no way... This is a fourth-stage monster."
If it were the time when he was just at the Sixth Shackle, he would surely have been defeated by now. But having achieved godhood, all his experience and skills were superior to those of normal experts.
Gawain then glanced to the other side, noticing that Elder Reana, Elder Lincy, and Layla were preparing something.
He sheathed his sword. Winds gathered around his feet as he leaped through the air, avoiding the lightning strikes.
Locking his gaze at Souta, he swiftly drew his sword.
[Third Stance: True Slash]!
Souta widened his eyes as blood spurted into the air. A huge cut appeared on his shoulder, extending down to his stomach, tearing through his resistance and defenses.
Gawain grinned as he advanced forward, bending space in his wake. He had completely mastered his Archetype, whereas Souta had only learned to use it in combat and hadn't mastered all its forms.
He pointed his sword at Souta before thrusting it gently.
[First Stance: Serene Gale Thrust]!
A powerful wind swirled around his sword as it moved along its path. It flashed, directly hitting Souta's body.
Boom!!
Souta emerged from the smoke, his wound completely healed. He slashed his sword, sending out a huge energy blade followed by lightning.
Gawain smiled and said, "What an insane regeneration ability."
He ignored the incoming attack and instead executed his skill.
[Third Stance: True Slash]!
Souta instinctively raised his hand to block, but a cut appeared on his neck, spewing a large amount of blood.
"Ugh!"
Souta narrowed his eyes.
The slash cut through the space between the target and Gawain, landing directly on Souta. Even if Souta created a barrier to block it, the attack simply ignored it.
An unavoidable slash.
It ignore any distance to strike its target.
At that moment, Layla finished her preparations. A huge magic circle appeared beneath her feet, while Elder Reana and Elder Lincy's energy skyrocketed.
[Dark Swallowing Void]!
The air pressure dramatically increased as they activated their spell.
It was a forbidden spell.
Souta looked towards the part of the Dream Palace where they had come from. He could sense that the darkness was behaving strangely. The elemental being was nearing the completion of its ritual.
"I have to do this..."
Blood from his neck dripped onto the ground, creating a pool. His douion and best feram flowed through the blood. His webs sprang out, creating a cocoon to protect himself from the spell.
A small dot appeared in the air and expanded at high speed. In an instant, it covered a diameter of thirty kilometers, destroying everything in its path.
Silence fell as even the sound was erased. Several rooms in the Dream Palace that contained dimensions were also destroyed.
