Anthony was busy shopping while the rest were talking about other things in the divine realm.
He hasn't spent money since he came to this world so this time he decided to go crazy.
He bought cars, clothes, laptops, shoes, phones and many gadget he didn't need.
He just wanted to know how it feels to shop without a budget and only going home because you are tired and contented not because your account balance said so.
Many people took note of him as they made way for him as they saw him walking and the amount of things the porter behind him carried. He spent over three billion quarks today, and he was happy, smiling like a fool as he left the shopping district.
(Quark is the currency in this world)
Anthony transferred everything to his storage space after he was done, entered one of the new cars he bought and drove off with high speed while laughing like a fool in the car.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, is this what it feels like to be rich, no wonder the real rich people rarely go on shopping because when you shop so much like this, you will easily get bored of it, but i am still new to this, there is still so much fun to have" he continued laughing as he drove.
About an hour later, as Anthony was driving, a magic circle suddenly lit up on the road and Anthony and the car were teleported to another place.
Anthony who sensed that he had been moved to another place smiled, he came out from his car and kept it in his storage space
Twenty figure wearing mask appeared looking at him as if they had caught dinner
Of course he already sensed them when he was still driving but just played along like he didn't see them.
There was no way they could hide the magic circle they place on the road, such things couldn't escape his eyes, even if it did, Anthony would still be able to sense it by seeing the movement of mana to know it was a spatial movement skill.
"Well well well, who knew the young master of the Null family would dodge us for a long time as we killed other students, I guess geniuses really don't die easily" said one of them.
Anthony looked around and counted them and assessed their mana rank and said
"Twenty people, Five peak Paragon rank, fifteen peak Grandmasters rank, isn't this a bit over the top even for the 'forsaken cult'"
"Well you can't blame us dearest young master, we thought you would be with some guards so we just increased the amount of people we were sending, but it seems you are indeed without security saving us the stress" said another one of them with a laugh.
"It seems, I will really have to fight this time" Anthony said with battle intent leaking out of him
"Hooohh.. it seems the son of a tiger is still a tiger, even when faced with death you still want to battle, respect to you" said one of the paragon ranker
"That's enough talking, kill him immediately"
Immediately the word dropped, a dagger immediately appeared out of nowhere stabbing at Anthony's neck, which was stopped by infinity and Igris sword moving from his shadow stopping it, both moved at the same time. The Grandmaster who just made a moved was shocked and jumped back immediately he felt a sense of danger
"It's been a while since I had a real fight, shall we begin gentle men" Anthony said
"Come forth" he said, and darkness fell on the already dark night and the ground was as if it was covered in dark blankets, and nineteen figures stepped out.
Igris, Bellion, Beru, George and unknown who were the five peak paragons each picked an opponent.
"You dare lay hand on my liege with such filthy hands, your own punishment is death" said Beru to the opponent he picked
"You know for once I agree with you" said Bellion as all five of them unleashed a devastating peak Paragon rank aura.
The remaining fourteen were faced and challenged by other Grandmaster rankers among the shadows.
Anthony brought out his katana and took a stance against the final peak Grandmaster who was also a swordsman named Hariko.
The assassins were shocked, seeing subordinate appearing out of nowhere
"Let's dance gentlemen" they all moved at the same time and clashed, each with their opponent, this was a death dance.
Hariko and Anthony clashed and a deafening explosion resounded.
Anthony was throw back like cannon ball immediately they collided, he continued flying across the air, smashing trees along the way, creating ravines as he bounced on the ground. After landing on the floor he stood up uninjured while telepathically tell his shadows to continue their own fight and not intervene in his till they were done.
"It seems you overestimate yourself young man but I am more surprised you survived that, it was truly worth moving in other to kill you like we did" hariko said with a smile.
As he spoke Anthony was in deep in thought
'So this is the strength of a Peak Grandmaster, although I am sure he hasn't used his full strength, I get the gist of it, it seems today I will have to fight with everything I have, well asides my magic side, with this I can test the limit of my physique and try out somethings I haven't tried before'
Due to thought accelerator skill, Anthony finished his thoughts before Hariko finished speaking
"Pardon my disrespect earlier, I was testing out something, but now let's battle see the end to this" Anthony said with his demeanor and aura taking a sharp change with a crazed smile on his face.
Hariko blurred and appeared beside Anthony and swung his sword at his neck.
Anthony ramping up his physique to the peak and increased his speed and met the sword with his Katana and a cataclysmic implosion occured, but this time none of them moved from their position at all.
Hariko was shocked by what this little lass who was not even eighteen was doing.
'I have to kill this monster here' he thought.
Hariko didn't hold back anymore and he increased the destructiveness of his attack.
They left shockwaves in their paths as they moved, even the paragons were shocked by such as their battle occured. They couldn't believe that the Null family hid such monster.
Little do they know that the Null family didn't hide such monster, they just didn't know they had such a monster.
Tree branches uprooted as they moved, the grounds shaking at the might of their speed and feet.
They only left feint light streaks as they moved while sword marks scatter and were engraved on the ground
*Clank*Clank***Clank***BOOOM***BOOM**
They air pressure from their attack so massive that even the debris where further grounded to dust under such display.
They suddenly took their fight to the sky as they flew up in the air and clashed swords.
Clouds disappearing as they clashed, space shattered at their might as they weren't even going all out yet, but still testing the waters with each other.
Anthony teleported behind Hariko and sent a kick to Hariko ribs as he was sent flying downwards and colliding with everything as the mountains even shook from the weight of the fall.
Hariko stood up from the ground immediately, cleaning the the little drop that dripped from the corner of his lips as he looked at at Anthony with killing intent.
Anthony landed on the ground Infront of hariko, with his battle intent still radiating with high intensity.
Gone were all those playfully smiles he had whenever he fought, he won't let down his guards now for anything.
If before Hariko just wanted to kill Anthony cause of the mission, now it was personal.
He felt like taking Anthony's soul and torturing it till he died.
If he didn't kill this little brat and even manage to go back with all this information, his colleague would still laugh at him.
He wasn't going to hold back anymore.
Although Anthony had many spells he could use to end this fight sooner but he won't do that as Anthony has turned into a battle maniac without him even knowing.
If he just used magic to kill off opponents by bombarding them with magic, how would he improve, so any fight where he could still fight without bringing out more cards, he would fight it like that as people only truly improve during battles and with their lives on the line
From now on, testing any water is over.
