Chapter 1332 Slayer Of Veyans
Varian realized unless he could figure out their attacks in advance, he wouldn't able to win. But even his space sense was failing.
'There has to be a way…some way…many ways!'
An idea sparked in his mind and his senses began to overlap.
Space sense served as the base while the senses of soul and life served as the pillars. A more sophisticated version of external sense was creatred.
And this time, when the Veyans once again sneaked onto him, Varian didn't miss.
Boom!
The Veyan warrior had only one moment to pour all his powers into defense before Varian sword's hilt slammed in.
Even though they recognized Varian as an experienced fighter, their success in containing and 'hunting' him so far turned them less cautious against him.
So, the Veyan only had the standard defenses on when he attacked. It's still better than not having any defenses but that's only relative.
Kacha!
With a terrifying force, Requiem's hilt cracked through the barrier and slammed the Veyan right in the abdomen.
"Pauh!"
Even though it was the blunt side, due to the sheer force behind that move, the Veyan's flesh exploded as the hilt rammed in. Then, Requiem's death power drilled into his insides directly.
"Nooo!"
Faced with the unexpected danger that could potentially kill him, the Veyan attacked back with all his strength.
At the same time, the space around him sharpened, about to slice his head off.
'Fuck!'
Varian quickly ducked and saved himself from a decapitation. But the horizontal space blade turned vertical and cut him down, right from above his shoulder.
At the same time, the injured Veyan's power began to collapse the space around Varian.
His body began to bend in strange directions and like a picture on a piece of paper, he began to fold.
Varian felt himself being crushed from all directions even as the sharp space blade continued cutting through him, slicing his body without stop.
'If I can't fight you like this…'
Varian's aura changed dramatically and the collapsing space began to slow down, as if an invisible hand was stopping its inevitable collapse.
'Wh-What?'
Neither the injured Veyan nor the uninjured who joined him in pouring powers to the space collapse understood what was going on.
Their power wasn't blocked directly. They could feel it.
But why…
A power not unfamiliar to the Jai warriors rose from the space crack.
"Time path? But ho—"
A soul attack stuck the injured Veyan before he could talk further. His eyes that were brimming with a majestic six-pointed star went blank.
The other Veyan sensed the danger and teleported afar right away.
The next moment, the location he was at exploded with a dangerous intensity, enough to shatter a hundred stars.
'This is definitely something only an Energy path can do.'
To be precise, the Chaos path.
But how?
There was just one man insi—
Varian teleported in front of the injured Veyan who just recovered. The Orion warrior instinctively responded to the enemy he sensed.
However, what came for him wasn't a punch. It was a matter-altering beam that affected the location he's in.
"Arghhh!"
His hasty defenses couldn't stop the beam and it stuck the man right in the shoulder.
Like a sand castle, his left arm, right from his shoulder all the way to the top of his fingers disintegrated.
There was no bleeding, no injury, nothing. It was just erased.
"You fucking monster! Who the hell are you?" The injured Veyan's voice cracked as he faced the young man's nonchalant eyes.
A creepy feeling shot up his spine, as if he was facing a being that should not exist. And that, inadverdently, got caught up in a fight the likes of him could never hope to win against.
The paths of Body, Space, Time and Matter…what in Eden was going on?
Varian's answer was a slash of his sword.
The Veyan tried to escape but the space around him blocked off. The blockage was breakable due to the Veyan's superior space power but it took away that precious little moment which cost him everything.
Requiem's blade dug into the Veyan's body and his glowing white stars turned red.
Under Varian's cold eyes, the Orion warrior, one of the most feared in all of Jai Empire, waved his arms helplessly as death engulfed him.
Like dust blown by the wind, his body scattered with the aura shockwaves.
Varian quickly turned around but a string of space sinks appeared right behind him. The escaped Veyan looked at him with a crazy smile before he teleported.
He could've saved his companion but decided to use that life for the perfect chance.
"Fuck!"
Varian tried to get away but the space around him collapsed, preventing him physical or spatial escape.
"Someone as peculiar as you should only fall into our hands," The Veyan looked at him with a large smile. "We'll uncover all your secr
—"
"I can understand your surprise. But aren't you too immersed that you're neglecting me so much?"
A discordant voice rang and a green beam reached the Veyan warrior.
Varian thought that was it but the man gave a sneaky smile and his body blurred from the location.
"Of course not. I was just waiting for you to come out, Princess."
With a slap of his hand, a powerful explosion enveloped the location where Sonya was standing.
The Veyan would've fallen for the attack if it was earlier. But after having to sacrificing his own companion for the chance to kill Varian, he remained super alert.
"Tsk," With a swipe of her fingers, two green threads blinked into existence and then disappeared, before appearing in front of the Veyan.
The Orion teleported away, not even willing to fight them head on. Like an undying cockroach, he kept dodging her attacks while occassionally adding power to the space sinks, pushing Varian closer and closer to death.
The space sinks suddenly collapsed, as if Varian gave up all resistance and blood flew out from the cracks of space before being sucked into the sinks.
A huge explosion followed and the collapsed space began to recover.
"Hahahaha!" Even though he wasn't supposed to do this on duty, the Veyan warrior couldn't help but chuckle in relief.
That man might be weaker than Sonya but he was far more dangerous. He's an unknown threat not just for this battle but for the entire war. A variable that shouldn't be allowed to exist.
And now, he wiped that anamoly with his own hands. Now, he didn't even need to kill Princess Sonya.
He just had to take Varian's remains and submit them to the highest laboratory for them to study and dig out his secrets.
At least, that's what he thought when he escaped another attack and opened up the folded space.
Instead of broken corpse, what he found was a humanoid in the form of almost pure energy, staring at him with a chilling smile.
The space sinks collapsing was mainly physical in nature. It should've killed even powerful < Paragon Body > warriors.
But if it's against an < Energy > awakener, a different method should've been used.
'Fuck!'
He made a big mistake!
"You mons—"
A hand pierced his chest and a spirit attack stuck his soul right from his body.
The < Assimilator > power enveloped him and with a rumble, the Veyan's body slowly disappeared while Varian's aura rose.
Almost at the same time, two silhouttees appeared in the castle.
Sarah grabbed his hand and checked his condition without a word while the woman covered in darkness stared down at Sonya.
Only her glowing red eyes could be seen through the veil of darkness and they were filled with killing intent.
