Chapter 284: The All-Seeing
Chapter 284: The All-Seeing
In the middle of the battlefield, Zephyr and Athena clashed with their swords.
BOOM!
The nearby Originals got blown away like leaves in a strong wind.
Ordinary Originals would already be in a lot of danger when average mercenaries were fighting near them. Now, two Grand Lords, near the peak of the mercenary hierarchy, were fighting right next to them!
If the two of them had used even more strength, all the nearby Originals would've just exploded!
"T-this is crazy!" Leo said while evading the horses that were running across the battlefield.
He was just an ordinary Original. A farmer. Yet, he was thrown into this war without even knowing how to use a proper weapon!
He felt like an ordinary human standing on the battlefield of gods!
At that moment, the ground shook violently as wide-shouldered Taurus smashed his axe into the ground. The nearby Battle Maidens got thrown away.
"Haha, sorry about that, ladies, but I've got to kill you!" Taurus grinned, and wanted to make another attack, but four Battle Maidens suddenly appeared in front of his path, and pushed him back.
They were nimble-legged, using their curved daggers to strike at Taurus with speed, and precision.
"Agh!" Taurus grunted slightly as a few cuts appeared on his arms, but he then swung his axe with a mighty force, and pushed the Battle Maidens away from him.
Taurus grinned widely. His eyes were shrinking so much that they were barely visible, revealing his immense joy and satisfaction in battle.
With that scary look of absolute joy, he smashed his axe into the ground, and created a wide crater in the earth.
Leo, and several others got also thrown away high into the air. They screamed from the bottom of their lungs, and then fell straight to the ground.
A few of those Originals died from impact, but Leo survived. However, he could barely breathe as he felt like his ribs were broken.
'W-what's even the point of us participating in the war? There's nothing we can do!'
Leo cursed his shitty luck. He wished that he would've been born as a player instead!
A distance away, Andromeda danced across the battlefield, her sword cutting through the members of Battle Maidens like a hot knife through butter.
At that moment, Desire and Florence stopped her in her tracks, and entered an intense battle of swords clashing and sparks flying in every direction.
"Shame, you could've been Athena's righthand woman!" Florence said while swinging her sword fast and powerfully.
"Maybe in another lifetime!" Andromeda said, and kicked Desire in the chest, sending her flying.
She and Florence entered a fiery duel, their swords moving faster than lightning.
On the horse's back, Sagittarius released his arrows, and hit the retreated soldiers of Battle Maidens. They tried to hide behind their shield wall, but Sagittarius arrows were coated in his Kraft, making them impossible to stop.
"Haha!" Sagittarius laughed. "Nah, nah, you guys aren't escaping!"
Suddenly, a blindfolded woman jumped out from behind the shield wall and caught all of Sagittarius' arrows in mid-air.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Eh?"
The blindfolded woman then swung her sword three times around. Each of the swings created a slash made out of wind. Those slashes flew through the air, and smacked Sagittarius off the horse.
Sagittarius landed on the ground with a thud, and immediately several Batlte Maidens tried to skewer him with their spears.
However, he quickly backflipped back to his feet, weaved past those spears, and hopped back on the horse, then kicked the horse into a gallop and headed towards the blindfolded woman.
"A blindfolded woman. Haha, you must be her!"
"..." The blindfolded woman didn't speak a word, and instead swung her sword upwards.
The wind slash cut through the ground with incredibly force, turning over the ground like it was nothing, and headed towards Sagittarius.
The wind slash was the size of a small house.
Sagittarius jumped over the wind slash, but unfortunately, his horse got hit by the full brunt of the attack and collapsed to the ground.
While falling, Sagittarius pulled his bow, and shot a couple of arrows towards her.
The blindfolded woman moved her sword, and cut through the arrows with ease.
"Heh." Sagittarius grinned.
'He didn't coat those arrows in Kraft...' The blindfolded woman frowned, and jumped away from the arrows.
The arrows suddenly exploded, and scorched the ground where she had just been standing.
"Oh, she expected that?" Sagittarius clicked his tongue and landed on the ground. "You're as impressive as rumors say, huh."
"..." The blindfolded woman didn't answer.
"The All-Seeing, Wrath Battleborn."
"..." Wrath stayed silent.
"I heard you can see days to the future." Sagittarius said with a grin. "Is that true? Have you already seen the outcome of this fight?"
"The future is never set in stone," Wrath said. "But I can say it won't end well for you."
"Haha." Sagittarius grinned.
'She has reached level 4 in Kiryoku, a rare milestone. However, she has abandoned the usual path of Kiryoku for future-seeing.
'She cannot see my attacks or sense my aura or my attacking intention. The usual way of using Kiryoku, she cannot use any of that.
'It's because she abandoned those to be able to see into the future. Level four Kiryoku users can see into the future, usually only a couple of seconds.
'However, they can't use that all the time.
'Wrath, on the other hand, can see days into the future.'
'She had to sacrifice things to achieve that, such as portions of her strength and her eyesight.'
"Well, I'm not afraid of you. You're one of the most valuable members of Battle Maidens. If I kill you here, your faction will be in lots of trouble!"
Sagittarius grinned, and darted forward like an arrow released from a bow. He retrieved a pair of daggers from his belt, and swung them down.
Wrath moved her sword into a sheath.
Spurt!
"?!"
The blood spurted out.
Sagittarius looked frozen in shock as his chest was bleeding heavily. There was a slash wound
across his chest, with blood pouring out in a steady stream.
'How did she...'
"I've already seen this encounter happen." Wrath said. "I know how it ends."
Sagittarius collapsed on the ground, unconscious and barely breathing.
"I can't go for the final kill because..." Wrath jumped backwards, and right at where she was
standing, an axe appeared.
"You future-seeing witch!" Taurus, covered in bleeding wounds, charged forward, and
picked up his axe from the ground.
He'd clearly been through a lot based on the amount of his wounds, but on his path, he left
behind dozens of Battle Maiden corpses.
None of them was able to stop him!
Wrath sighed, and retreated behind the shield wall.
Taurus looked at the shield wall, and thousands of Originals that were now between him and
Wrath.
Usually, he would charge in without hesitation, but he couldn't because Sagittarius.
"Tch." He picked the unconscious man, and jumped across the air, then landed in front of one
of the shocked Originals.
"Take him to the Medicine Master!" Taurus ordered.
The Original picked Sagittarius up, barely able to carry his weight.
Behind the shield wall, Wrath looked towards the sky.
'The stars are aligning, and a storm is coming. A future is not set in stone, but if we don't find
a way to stop him, we'll be losing this fight.'
