Chapter 202 Bloodstone
Souta opened his palm and a small black ball appeared on top of it. He did this while watching the movements of the woman named Frels, a six-circle officer of the Deadly Sins.
Frels just looked at the small black ball on top of his palm. She opened her mouth and said, "[Shadow Ball]?"
'This woman really knew the tier 1 dark attribute spell. [Shadow Ball] spell is already a rare spell across the continent but she still guessed it with a single glance.' Souta thought while looking at the expression of Frels. If she knew the [Shadow Ball] spell, then she must've been aware of its effect. The teleportation effect of the [Shadow Ball].
"You thought you would be able to escape with that spell..." Frels said while looking at him. She lifted her hand and the huge black ball in the mid-air once again shoots another beam.
Swoosh!
Souta quickly threw the black ball away and teleported to avoid the beam. As soon as he teleported he looked up and saw another black beam flying in his direction.
"Damn!"
He swiftly moved his body from side to side as the black beam chased after him at high speed. Everything exploded when the black beam passed. It destroyed the ground and trees.
Frels suddenly stopped launching an attack. She squinted her eyes as her vision was blocked by thick smoke and dust. She imbued her mana in his hand and waved it.
Swoosh!
Her power blew away the thick smoke and dust and it revealed the devastated land. Her attacks caused this much destruction.
Her frown grew deeper when she saw the scene in front of her. She saw seven small black balls floating around the devastated land.
"That's too much [Shadow Ball]..." Frels cursed loudly as she didn't expect that Souta's [Shadow Ball] spell was also a modified one. She gritted her teeth as he mana burst out of her body.
Blueish mana swept out in the surrounding area. It detected any object that was moving.
"You really wanted me to kill you!!" She shouted as she turned her head. She sensed that Souta was heading towards the village.
Without "boom", she quickly flew towards Souta's position at high speed leaving a trail of smoke behind.
The huge black ball shoots all the seven small black balls in case Souta teleported here. After making sure that everything's done, the huge black ball followed Frels.
Randolf looked at them with a serious expression. He watched them leave before he turned his head and looked at corps guardians.
He opened his palm and casted a healing spell.
"This is the only thing that I could do." He muttered before he looked in the sky. He recalled what that woman said to Souta. "So he's using a modified spell... That's why his spell is powerful for a tier 1 spell."
...
The comrades of Frels were fighting the other corps guardians around the Ibish village. Several explosions occurred in the whole village.
The Guildmaster of the Adventurers Guild was helping the corps guardians in fighting one of the six-circle officers of the sin. Their battle attracted some attention of the other adventurers and folks here.
They don't know what's happening as powerful people were battling across the Ibish village. They destroyed several houses and killed some people because of the aftershocks of the battle.
"What's their goals?" Souta muttered while looking at the huge explosions in the Ibish village. No matter how much he thinks he couldn't guess the goals of these six-circle officers.
He looked up and saw that cracks appeared in the sky. Someone was trying to break the barrier that covered around the Ibish village. He guessed that it was the teachers of the institute.
If he's talking about the teachers, the first one that comes in his mind was Alex. Alex was the one who's grading their class and he's the closest to their class. The corps guardian quickly arrived here the moment that these six-circle officers appeared here. He guessed that they were the ones who were giving information to the teachers.
That's why they could easily record the monster that they hunted.
Souta arrived in front of the village but he felt someone rushing at him at high speed. He turned around and saw Frels flying towards him. Her mana was bursting out of her body. It was terrifying and he felt his hair stand on its end.
Swoosh!
In a split second, Frels arrived in front of him and grabbed his neck. Souta didn't have a time to avoid her. She was too fast and too strong for him. All he could do was to trick her but it also didn't work.
Frels dragged him and crashed into several houses in the Ibish village.
Boom!
Suddenly, Frels stopped as she looked in the sky and the barrier that she casted broke into tiny pieces. She felt someone powerful arrived here but that still couldn't stop them from completing their goal.
A figure was going straight towards the village in the sky. It was like a meteor that was falling towards the earth. Then, a figure flew out of the village and collided with the figure in the sky.
Boom!
The two figures collided several times in a few seconds. Every time they collided it caused a ripple in the sky.
Souta moved his eyes and looked in the sky. He guessed that it was teacher Alex. One teacher wasn't enough to stop all these six-circle officers.
Frels moved her eyes away from the fight in the sky and she looked at Souta in the sky. She opened her mouth and said, "I told you that you wouldn't be able to escape. That man who's fighting Vanji will suffer a defeat soon. Although he's powerful he still wouldn't be able to defeat Vanji with his current strength."
Vanji was the name of the man who's fighting Alex in the sky. Vanji was also a six-circle officer of the Deadly Sins.
"Hahaha, f*ck you! I wouldn't tell you anything!" Souta laughed as he grabbed the hand of Frels. He tried to yank it off but her hand was firm on his neck.
The ground slowly turned into color black. Several black tentacles rose and strangled Frels' body.
Frels just looked at it before she focused her attention on Souta. "You wouldn't be able to do anything to me. No matter how many spells you have, accept the truth that you're too weak compare to me."
She then tightened her grip on his neck.
Suddenly, a red pillar rose from the middle of the Ibish village. A ground-shaking energy swept out in the whole area.
Souta was shocked when he saw it. He finally understood the goal of these people. He slightly trembled while looking at this scene.
The Bloodstone... was the thing that comes to his mind.
All the pieces come together in his mind. The mysterious monster that protected this village from the beast tide. That mysterious monster was a vampire and it possessed bloodstone.
That's what their goal here. They wanted to take the bloodstone.
Souta took a deep breath and his expression turned calm.
Frels frowned when she saw his calm looked. She was about to say something when she felt something on her side.
She quickly moved her other hand and swung it towards Souta.
Swoosh!
Black tentacles covered Souta's arms like a piece of armor. He then raised his arm and it used to block Frels' hand.
Then, black beams shoots around and it caused a powerful explosion.
Boom!
Frels then loosened her grip on his neck and she covered her arms in front of her chest. Then, a red ray shoots out of the smoke and went straight to her.
Boom!
A huge mushroom of smoke rose in the sky.
Souta gritted his teeth and the black tentacles covered his whole body like a cocoon. Everything happened so fast. He could barely saw what happened.
The tentacles that were protecting him broke into tiny pieces. Souta was pushed back as the explosion hit his body.
Swoosh!
Frels flew in the sky and she waved both of her hands. It dispersed the thick smoke in the area. She looked around and saw that the corps guardians that she defeat were here.
She frowned and the huge black ball suspended beside her. It shoots several beams towards the corps guardians.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The corps guardians used their buff spells and combat arts to increased their overall stats.
...
Souta stood up with great efforts. His body was full of wounds and blood was flowing out of it. He suddenly felt someone casted a healing spell on him.
"Souta!!"
He turned his head and saw that Lumilia, Yujin, Lynn, and Alice were here. Souta opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you here? I already told you to leave..."
"How can we leave you when you're facing such a dangerous situation? I'm here to help you." Lumilia said to him.
Souta was about to say something but he stopped when he saw her serious looked.
