Chapter 673: Seriously, a sneak attack?
Samara's figure trembled upon hearing Kyle's mocking words. It's true she hadn't mastered any laws of nature after attaining the supreme rank, but did that matter? She had already attained a level that very few in the universe had achieved! A wicked smile crept onto her lips.
"So, what if I can't progress now, do you think I won't in the future too!? If you do, then you're completely wrong! Let's me see just how long your flames can withstand and consume the darkness I possess!"
The dark energy enveloping her began to escalate at a threatening pace. Kyle's eyes narrowed; he could clearly see that even though his flames were overpowering and consuming the dark energy, there was a significant disparity in quantity. He moved back when the dark energy surrounding the demon woman surged towards the sky.
"Well, to be truthful, I couldn't care less if your strength can advance or not."
His eyes gleamed brightly as he activated one of his bloodline skills, Arcane Visions, to glimpse into his own future. Specifically, he saw the potential paths he might tread in response to Samara's attack.
His spiritual energy waned as he saw numerous scenarios, all ending with him getting injured. But now that he foresaw what could unfold, would he allow the woman to even lay a scratch on him?
Absolutely not.
Kyle remained rooted in place, slightly perplexing the two supreme-rank humans with his stance, as they could perceive the true power of the skill Samara intended to unleash upon the man. Yet, what unfolded next left them both astounded.
The moment the darkness in the sky showered down towards Kyle at a speed imperceptible to all divine and transcendent ranks, a massive dark portal lit up before the silver-haired man and instantly began engulfing everything.
Samara's eyes widened, and she reached out to destroy the portal, but a shiver ran down her spine when the air behind her suddenly trembled intensely.
Before she could turn around to obliterate the portal she sensed forming behind her, Kyle's figure materialized in front of her. He deftly raised the spear in his hand, directing its tip straight at her heart with icy eyes.
Of course, he didn't forget that the demon woman flying before him was at the peak of the supreme rank. That's why it came as no surprise when she maneuvered to avoid his attack before striking his body with one of the four wings behind her, causing him to crash downward with astonishing speed.
Kyle's eyes crinkled as Samara effortlessly tore apart the portal behind her, and he muttered under his breath.
"Just a bunch of idiots."
The two supreme rank humans who had also left their positions after sensing the portal forming behind Samara paused when they spotted another portal emerging above the divine and transcendent rank demons and dark race individuals.
Their eyes widened as Samara's earlier attack, which had been consumed by the portal, reappeared to plummet down upon the divine and transcendent ranks.
"Stop!"
The supreme rank human who could control space swiftly used his power to stop the attack approaching the divine and transcendent ranks. However, he was a tad late, as a few people cried out in pain from the sudden darkness that fell upon them.
He clenched his jaw tightly and glanced at the silver-haired man who let out a hearty chuckle as his body crashed to the ground, scattering dust and debris everywhere.
'He's dangerous. We need to eliminate him quickly because if we don't, he could pose a major threat in the future.'
His words echoed in the other supreme rank human's mind, who nodded, and they both disappeared towards Kyle.
Samara, who also witnessed the event that just unfolded, yelled at the divine and transcendent rank individuals.
"All of you are utterly useless! There are so many of you, yet you can't even handle a transcendent rank!? Just get lost!"
She also disappeared towards Kyle, who had started floating once more. Her speed was way faster than his. Not just her, but the other two supreme ranks were fast too. However, Kyle didn't budge even an inch from his position and clashed head-on with the first person who reached him.
Kyle's jaw tightened, and a vein bulged on his forehead as he felt the impact of the clash reverberate through his body. He was certain that if his strength had been even slightly lower, he might have lost his arms. The supreme rank human who had just collided with him was left stunned as Kyle stood his ground firmly against him.
"How?"
He was the individual with the ability to manipulate space. Nonetheless, he had never imagined that a transcendent rank would stop his attack one day.
Kyle's lips curled into a mocking sneer. He could feel his muscles tightening under the pressure of the strength in the human hand he was holding back with his spear.
Yet, he couldn't resist a sense of amusement. Perhaps because the knack for irritating others The acquired in the No Mana Land was incurable.
"Supreme rank, huh? It's not really as impressive as I thought it would be."
His words echoed in the air, and his eyes gleamed with satisfaction when he saw the angry crimson veins beginning to flare in the eyes of the person in front of him.
Instantly, the supreme rank human intensified his strength, trying to grab the spear from Kyle's hands. But he backed off when icy blue flames erupted from the silver-haired man's
body once more.
Kyle shifted the spear in his grip to one hand and flexed the other because his hands had become numb. He quickly did the same with the other hand, all the while keeping his eyes on the two supreme-rank individuals who stopped for some reason.
He clicked his tongue in disapproval when he sensed Samara launching a surprise attack at him from behind.
"Seriously, a sneak attack? Show a bit of honor as a supreme rank."
He knew he was much weaker and slower compared to her, but that doesn't mean he can't take her on. As long as he had divine and spiritual energy within his body, he was sure he could fight with everyone around him without dying.
He quickly utilized instant teleportation to reposition his body to face Samara, but his eyes contracted when the space around him froze, and the two supreme-rank humans closed in on
him together.
"Bastards-!"
His words had barely left his mouth when three attacks landed on him from different angles. Kyle somehow managed to absorb the force of Samara's strike with his spear, but he couldn't fend off the other two, even after his efforts to shield himself.
Kyle spat out blood, and despite the pain coursing through his body, he quickly used instant teleportation to vanish. In a flash, he reappeared in the distance only to crash to the ground. But he gritted his teeth and glanced down to inspect his body.
Seeing no visible injury, he believed he hadn't sustained any major harm - or so he thought. However, his eyes darkened as he felt something wet trickling down his back, catching the
faint scent of blood in the air.
The scent of his own blood.
He chuckled and gazed at the two supreme-rank humans. Instantly, his eyes drifted towards their bloodied hands, and he noticed the tiny sharp blades amidst the gaps between their
fingers.
"It's weird. Why didn't I feel the sharp edges of the blades piercing my skin?"
He questioned loudly, finding it peculiar. He only sensed the force of the attacks and no other
sharp objects touching his body. So, when did they use the blades? He rose to his feet as
spiritual energy emanated from his body to heal the injuries on his back.
The supreme-rank human who could manipulate space tossed the blades in his fingers away
and quickly wiped his hand with a handkerchief.
"It's because we laced the blades with a poison that dulls the pain when they are piercing flesh. The poison serves multiple other purposes too, but I believe I don't need to elaborate
further."
Kyle, who was healing his injuries without much concern, immediately extended his scent perception skill upon hearing the man's words. His gaze chilled when he detected the
unfamiliar particles infiltrating and spreading within his body.
Samara smirked, a bit amazed by the move the supreme rank humans pulled off.
However, all three of them were caught off guard when, instead of freaking out, Kyle erupted
into a hearty laughter.
He clutched his stomach, attempting to suppress his laughter but failed.
An angry vein bulged on the forehead of one of the supreme-rank humans.
"What's so funny? Have you lost your mind knowing your impending demise?"
Kyle shook his head and hurriedly healed the injuries on his back.
Now, how would he reveal to them that the toxin they cunningly injected into his body was
easily consumed by his bloodline? All their scheming had been in vain.
"You just realized I'm crazy? Well, let's keep this fight going. I seriously doubt that poison's
gonna have any effect."
He disappeared in a flash, leaving both supreme rank humans in disbelief, as they believed
the poison would immobilize him.
They exchanged solemn looks and launched their attack at Kyle too. After all, they were determined to bring down this silver-haired man today!
Samara's eyes blazed with contempt for the two supreme ranks.
"They are worthless too!"
She then vanished towards Kyle.
The divine rank and transcendent individuals in the vicinity could only watch with solemn and
fearful faces as Kyle, a transcendent rank like them, faced off against three powerful supreme
ranks.
They couldn't even catch a glimpse of Kyle, let alone follow his figure with their eyes! So, they began to wonder if this human was truly just a transcendent rank? But one thing was crystal clear: if any of them dared to confront the human, they would meet their end!
