Chapter 676 Unnecessary Killing
Chapter 676 Unnecessary Killing
A chase between Lith and the monster began the moment he was out of the body wall.
Lith couldn't figure out the rank of this monster but one thing was for sure — the monster was strong.
Lith hadn't taken a lot of hits from him, but the one that he did get hit with reminded him of the massive power contained in those four arms.
Using movement techniques, Lith moved around from one spot to another, and looked for the monster's blind spot.
There didn't seem to be any available and having no choice, he went to the center of the room and stood calmly, taking deep breaths.
The tattooed man stopped chasing Lith and slowly walked towards him, flicking his hair back and said with a wide grin, "you knew escaping wasn't an option, yet you still tried to run. Now you've exhausted your movement spells and have nowhere to go."
Lith ignored him and composed himself.
He took a battle stance and stared at the man coming closer with full focus.
"Intimidating, I am scared indeed." The man said and in the next instant, appeared right in front of Lith.
BOOM!
He punched Lith's abdomen but Lith tightened his core and punched back at an opening he found, hitting the man's collarbone.
A few of Lith's ribs cracked by the man's collarbone completely shattered, leaving him amused and confused.
The four-armed man distanced himself and checking the damage, said, "Not bad. Sentient ones of this era aren't that weak, it seems."
Lith paid no heed to his comments and dashed forwards to attack him.
But his attack was blocked by the man's arms and holding onto both of Lith's arms, he twisted them and said, "…but it's still not enough."
A blazing aura shot forth towards Lith and engulfed his body
Lith felt a burning sensation but immediately cut his arms off and teleported away.
His arms regenerated back in a few seconds and he was back to normal condition.
"Haaah!" Lith exhaled and stretched his neck. This fight was now getting serious and Lith had finally gotten a challenge after such a long time.
'Von ves verstil.' Lith chanted in his mind and his veins pulsated with a blue aura in them.
His long silver hair fluttered and his amethyst eyes had a cold glint in them.
The monster laughed out loud looking at this and then took a fighting stance, beckoning Lith.
CRACK!
One step forwards and the body below him burst and the ground cracked.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
In the next instant Lith was in front of the monster and punched him hard enough to cause sonic booms.
The monster's body caved inwards at the place Lith hit him and his expression turned serious.
He hit Lith back with similar punches and Lith was now taking a considerable amount of damage from him.
The two stood right in front of each other, not moving or faltering, punching each other with pure power.
There were no tricks, no schemes, and no deceits.
Lith's shirt was tattered and his upper body was bathed in his blood.
The broken bones were constantly regenerating but the speed at which the monster was hitting him was faster and Lith was forced to use Life spells to heal himself.
Lith's body was under great stress after a very long time and he was zoning out into pure battle mode.
One part of him was casting Life spells, one part of him was focused on finding openings and hitting the monster, and one part of him was casting attack spells to pack his punches with as much power as they could.
Lith was multi-tasking despite getting thousands of hits each second and was focused.
His legs had sunken deep in the ground covered with bodies but it didn't matter.
The monster in front of him wasn't in any great condition either. He didn't have Life spells or regeneration powers like Lith, but he could use the flesh all around him to heal and restore himself back to full health.
After hours and hours of exchanging blows, the bodies all around the monster were exhausted and the room was fully clean, without even a drop of blood being present.
The monster kept hitting Lith until his last breath but then turned into fine specks of dust with one final power-packed blow from Lith.
Lith was covered in blood from head to toe. His silver hair was dyed red by his as well as the monster's blood. He was breathing heavily and spiritual power was also on the brink of exhaustion.
But even on the brink of getting killed, Lith's purple eyes were calm and his thoughts like a still lake.
He had achieved this state after years of fighting his mother, sister, Arya, and Emilia during training.
Things were even more brutal when he fought with them and Lith could actually feel a sense of danger. With this monster here, he surely was powerful, but not powerful enough to threaten Lith.
As Lith looked in front, the dust specks settled together and turned into a gigantic door.
Without any surprise, Lith pushed it open and walked in.
There was a tropical forest with lush green mountains in front of him as he entered.
Lith had no idea where he should go from here onwards but since there was no threat at present, he decided to rest and recuperate.
*
Five days passed.
Lith had slept once he entered the forest and once he woke up, three days had already passed.
Lith roamed through the forest for two days and still didn't find any clues on where he should go.
However, as he was resting against a tree today, he suddenly heard some faint noises.
Wondering what it was, Lith walked towards it and soon reached a grassland.
In this vast acres of land, there were thousands of people wandering around and this surprised Lith.
He tried to analyze the situation and saw that there were more people coming inside from a massive gate.
Narrowing his eyes and looking at the gate, this was the same one from which Lith had entered inside.
'That guy said nobody went past him…' Lith thought to himself as he looked at the many people walking inside.
'…he wasn't wrong. It seems it's because of me that these people have gotten access to the gates.'
As Lith thought that and gazed at the people, a sudden shrill voice broke his train of thoughts.
"KIIIII!~"
"WELCOME TO THE REAL TRIAL!"
"KIIIII!~"
A phoenix-like giant orange bird roamed the skies and shrieked, grabbing everyone's attention.
"The real trial?"
"There was a trial before!?"
"KIIIII!"
"Did I come from the wrong route?"
"¿¿Where trial??"
"What trial?"
"KIIIII!"
The bird's voice overpowered everyone else's.
"THE TRIAL IS SIMPLE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS:"
"KIIIIIIIILLLLLL!"
"LAST ONE STANDING WILL GET THE TREASURES!"
The bird flew in circles above the sky with a high speed, making it appear blurry.
The area in which it was circling soon had a screen pop up where the many treasures could be seen.
"WHAT THE HELL! THAT'S SARGGANG'S CROWN!"
Someone recognized one of the treasures and shouted.
Many more shouts followed up in the coming few minutes and the experts in the crowd explained what these treasures were.
In a matter of moments, the crowd of almost a thousand people realized how valuable these treasures were. Not to mention, they were all immortal grade with some being of the Emperor Grade too!
"HAAAAAA!"
CLINK! CLINK! CLINK!
Without wasting their breath, some started clashing their blades with the people in their vicinity with murderous intent.
They didn't even bother to hide that they wanted these treasures and could murder anyone when needed.
Intense fights broke out in the grassland and Lith, who was standing on a cliff, thought to himself, 'I don't even need those treasures…'
Since the people below could recognize those treasures, how could Lith not?
They were some good stuff but Lith was sure he had something of equivalent back at home. So what was the point of fighting for it?
Thinking it was a waste, Lith shook his head and went towards the gate.
As he reached and tried to enter it, Lith stumbled upon a barrier.
He tried to break his way in but was unsuccessful.
Lith sighed. "It seems I need to clear this trial if I want to get out."
Killing these people here was no more than cutting grass for Lith. It was easy but it was pointless.
However, since there was no other way than to do this, Lith could only curse his luck for getting inside such a stupid trial.
Lith turned around and faced the many people fighting on the grassland.
He took out a black sword from his ring and taking a deep breath, entered into battle mode.
His eyes shimmered with a murderous glint and his aura exploded out of him, causing the nearby people to feel great suppression and fall flat on the ground.
"Let's do this…" Lith said softly and dashed forwards, his aura fully exploding outwards.

DONG!
Inside a dark chamber, there was a massive golden gong in the center that started playing itself.
It repeatedly let out loud noises and soon…
In the darkness, a pair of red eyes shined brightly.
A few seconds later, another pair of eyes shined, their color being gray.
"This aura…"
