Chapter 233 The Black Light 1

The bow was pointed in the direction of Marcus who continued running for his life.

Drawn in by the magnificence of the arrow and its bow, Luna couldn't return to her senses. Nemesis who basked in astral light looked like the God of the Night who descended from her throne to strike down her foe.

Meanwhile, Marcus' dark origin started rampaging out of controln.-o/.v)-e-)l/)B-)I//n

The dark power within him sensed the incoming danger.

His sweat fell along with his blood, Marcus's heart got covered in trepidation as he immediately threw energy conservation to the wind, without caring for his wounds or energy consumption, he used every ounce of power within him to run faster. He did this so he could get himself out of the bow's range.

"Argh!"

There were bulging veins that didn't belong on his inhuman scales, his ten eyes were darting all around frantically as he groaned under his immense exertion. He had no idea what was coming for him but he continued running as if he could outrun death.

His futile action only served to delay his time on this mortal plane by just a few seconds.

Nemesis' eyes were lit up by the strong astral light of the bow and arrow. She steadied her breathing with closed eyes and then she shot her eyes wide open as she let loose...

Swish

The arrow of Starlight flew across the night like a meteor.

True to its name, the meteoric arrow sang its beautiful tune across the sky as the stars themselves seemed to support the arrow's flight. Then, under everyone's attentive eyes, the arrow caught up with Marcus.

"NOOOOO!!!"

Feeling the presence of death and danger behind him, Marcus cried out in despair.

Then, the meteor struck him true...

Splish

lightsnοvεl An explosion and the sound of something blasting heavily came from afar. The sound echoed throughout the land.

"GARGHH!!!"

The space around Marcus collapsed as fissures in space spread around him. At the center of this attack, Marcus howled in pain as the arrow left a bloody and gaping hole in his already mutilated body, then, under the baptism of starlight, he was erased from existence.

Foom!

A spatial ripple reverberated outwards, carrying bits of starlight with it. The remnant power scattered into nothingness as it disappeared from everyone's view.

After that, heaven and the earth returned to their peaceful state as if nothing had happened. Marcus' erased life signature and Nemesis's bow which was still brilliantly lit told those present what just happened.

With a satisfied smile, Nemesis looked at her handiwork.

However, her grin collapsed when she noticed something. She looked in the direction where Marcus got destroyed and she narrowed her eyes. With a consternating look, Nemesis focused on something small there.

A wisp of black light came out of the unstable space and it quickly flew away with rapid velocity.

Nemesis' blood raged when she saw that black wisp of light. It

was the same reaction as when he first laid eyes on Marcus, who was the source of the dark and corrupt power.

Her blood was telling Nemesis to get that black light before it escaped. Therefore she decided to follow it and not let this thing whatever it was escape.

''Luna, continue without me I've got something urgent to take care of. I'll be back in a bit.'' Nemesis thew her bracelet which accurately landed on Luna's free hand. She didn't have to worry because she had completed the mission, reaching the required points for a while.

''Eh?" Luna was shocked but before she could say anything, Nemesis had already disappeared.

''Sigh! I guess I'll be alone for a while.'' Luna sighed and headed down to kill some monsters, this fight had shown her how weak she was, she had to increase her strength as quickly as possible, the feeling of being unable to help, only staying on the side, cowering as her partner fought left a bad aftertaste in Luna's mouth, it was hard to swallow henceforth she had to do her utmost to increase her strength.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the real world.

Dawn is fast approaching, as the night slowly retreats. A hue of golden blue color streaked across the sky. The cool air is slowly being replaced by the refreshing air of a great day that was about to arrive.

The scenery belonged to a moderately large town. In terms of area, it lost by just a bit to the capital where the imperial palace was situated. In terms of resources and economy, this town fared pretty well, it's easily one of the most economically well-developed regions if one were to compare all the townships in the empire.

The arrival of a new dawn woke up the citizens of this town. They started doing their daily routines. One by one, the doors and windows of all the houses here opened as the shops started opening up for business again. The merchants prayed that this would be the day they could reap huge profits.

Unknown to the citizens, a wisp of dark light arrived at the airspace near the border of the town. The light stopped for a second before it shot into the city, disappearing between the buildings.

In a mansion so big it's a castle, there's a room filled with the scent of blood and medicine. The otherwise opulent room looked like a sappy patient's room due to this stench.

The vitality of this place got dragged down by this sad room.

On the bed was a youngster who looked like he was in his early twenties. Meanwhile, there's an older young man near him who looks about 70% similar in appearance. Also present in the room was a middle-aged man who accompanied the sickly young man.

The room was deathly silent. The two youngsters were waiting with furrowed eyebrows, they were anxious to hear what the middle-aged man had to say as he examined the sick man. Soon, he sighed.

That made the two youngsters turn grim, especially the sick patient on the bed. He certainly looked like someone who was heavily afflicted by an adverse medical condition. He turned malicious and cold as he asked the one who examined him.
