Chapter 133 Wait For Update



Savrena retreated back and dodged in the gaps of the slashes, letting her not get injured.

But Vio was having a hard time. He didn't have the same speed as Savrena, so he had to attack to defend himself. However, his attacks didn't do anything, as the slashes would cut his lighting like butter. 

Fortunately, that wasted enough time to make the slashes spread more and give him space to dodge. 

Savrena and Vio were stocked after getting hit hard like that. Vio was in the 8th Stage Novice Realm, and Savrena was in the 5th Stage Fleshcrafting Realm. But that wasn't enough to make any dent in Haitam.

'I can't sense his realm properly, don't tell me, is he?' Vio's worst fear came true. Haitam was stronger than them in the realm.

Haitam was in the 9th Stage Fleshcrafting Realm, close to breaking through to the Physique Refinement Realm, so he was able to detach his vital energy from his body early on—a perk available only to those who were halfway into the Physique Refinement Realm.

In this situation, the only thing that came into play were the special classes. However, there was no one here who got a special class of their own. 

Savrena's racial talent might be good, but they weren't good for death battles, they were most suited for survivability. On the other hand, Vio's race, Worshipper of the Purple Sun, as the name suggests, worshiped the Purple Sun of the demon realm. For this, they were granted a fraction of the sun's power, which was just a high damage boost, nothing special.

Under all these circumstances, Vio made a quick decision and resolved.

"Light Up! [ Tartalia ] " Puffing up his chest, Vio shouted in anger. Instantly, his chest glowed with violet thunder and coerced through his body. His hands, eyes, hair,and wings elementalized into violet thunder, making him look like a thunder god.

Savrena's eyes widened at that. 'Oh no, he is burning his mana core.'

But her concern couldn't help but make her do anything now, as Vio had his eye focused on Haitam. 

"Ahhhh!" With a short scream, Vio appeared before Haitam in a matter of seconds, surprising Haitam.

Bam!

Vio punched Haitam in the face, sending him flying with a resounding shockwave. 

Savrena saw that as an opportunity and flew toward the Haitam with her sword point aimed at his chest.

The surprise on Haitam's face disappeared after that punch and was replaced with seriousness. He rotated his body in midair and swung his sword to class against Savrena's. 

Vio wouldn't let this happen, knowing Savrena couldn't do anything in front of Haitam's sheer strength. Zooming through the air as fast as possible, Vio caught up to Haitam. 

At that moment, a smirk appeared on Haitam's face. 'Glad you are much faster now.'

" [ Boulder Slash ] " In a flash, Haitam swung his sword behind his back, catching Vio off guard.

Purich!

A deep scar appeared on Vio's chest, which made him fly backward and crash to the ground.

Haitam then shifted his focus to Savrena. He grabbed her sword with his bare hand, stopping it from reaching his body. Blood dripped through the sword, but that wasn't important to Haitam.

One of his main enemies was just before him; how could he miss such an easy kill?

Haitam swung his sword at defenseless Savrena, Time seemed to have slowed down for her as she saw the sword coming at her with a full 180 degree swing. She wanted to escape, and with her fast speed, it was possible. But Haitam's slash was faster, and they were in very close range, destroying Savrena's hope of evading. 

'Am I going to die? I have not even confessed to Vio yet.' Regrets started to appear in her mind.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Haitam's swing came to a halt. He grabbed Savrena's wrist and flung her to the side, smashing her to the ground. Savrena went further away from Haitam as she continued rolling on the ground.

Haitam turned back and inserted his sword into the ground, acting as if it was a shield.

BANG!!

A four meter thick beam, consisting of pure violet thunder, smashed into Haitam's sword, dragging his body back for the force behind it.I think you should take a look at

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!" Vio shouted out loud, announcing to the world his desire. He was floating in the air, just a few centimeters away from his feet touching the ground. From his chest, the thunder beam was coming out, and particles of mana entered his wings, acting like rechargers.

"Argh!" Haitam groaned in pain as his body turned static. He could feel the residual thunder entering his body, through his eyes and nose. Because of its destructive component, the thunder was destroying his body parts from inside. As a result, blood trickled out of his nose, mouth, eyes, and ears. But he held on strong, gritting his teeth. 

Haitam shot a glance at Vio and saw his body churning and having fissures. 'He can't do this for longer, and it can be said the same to me.'

Haitam was trying his hardest to quell the thunder in his body with his vital energy, but all for naught. He couldn't keep up with the amount of residual thunder entering his body and kept channeling his vital energy to reinforce his sword, which was also showing cracks; despite coating it with his vital energy.

'Damn it, I can't even dodge. I will get hit by it the moment I move.' Haitam cursed his mind, seeing himself in such a grave situation.

All of a sudden, Haitam felt another source of great danger approaching him. He gave a glance to the side and saw Savrena standing while glaring at him, like that of a killer.

'Is this the end? Not even seeing the sire for one last time?' Haitam began to doubt whether he could get out of this situation. But, for him, it took only a few seconds to know his aim and goal. 

'No, I am the sword of Lord Arash. I had no talent or anything special, but still, Lord Arash gave me a place to stay. So, I vowed from that day on that I will cut through anyone and anything for Lord Arash. I sharpened my strikes for years to cut a straight road for Lord Arash. How can I go down like this?' Light appeared in Haitam's eyes, and resolve filled his heart.

Haitam twisted his sword, making the edge face Vio's direction. Then he swung it upward. " [ Mutilation ] "

A large slash with a metallic shine cut through the thunder beam, dividing it in half. 

Vio saw the slash approaching him, but he was not in the right mind to think of anything rational. So, he could wait and get cut by it.

Phruch!

A vertical line appeared on Vio's body, and he stopped shooting his beam too. Then the vertical line slid open his skin, bursting out bright red blood. 

Thud

Vio's body just dropped to the ground when Haitam turned around and swung his sword horizontally while still in the skill's active state.

This was a consecutive slash skill that he came up with, that had the [ Boulder Slash ] as its base. 

[ Boulder Slash ] consumed time and energy to charge up, but this one had the same intensity and could be done in a row.

Savrena had her mind go blank when she saw Vio's situation, losing heart to attack Haitam. But she still instinctively put her sword before Haitam's sword path.

However, that was of no use as her sword got snapped in half and Haitam's sword cut into her waist. 

Thrush!

At that moment, Haitam's sword broke into multiple pieces, which canceled the skill. But still, his sword had cut through half of her waist, and the force behind it shot her body in Vio's direction.

She once again rolled on the ground and eventually stopped one meter away from Vio's body.

Vio felt he was losing control of his body and his sight was getting blurry, but he still saw what had come to Savrena. He tried to move, attempting to get closer to her, but it was to no avail. 'Why? Just why? I wanted to have a place to live peacefully, with someone that I could love. Why can't we demons have that? Always getting hunted by demons... Are we demons or they?'

Meanwhile, Savrena could still move her body, but she could feel pain from the sword shards every time she moved. In spite of that, it wasn't enough to stop Savrena from reaching Vio.

Crawling with great difficulty while losing a huge amount of blood, Savrena managed to touch Vio's cold hands. 

"Vio, can you hear me?" Savrena called with a quaking voice, but no response came from Vio. 

Savrena got caught in the grave situation, so she said with tears and a small smile on her face. "Vio, do not be sad that we failed. We demons are destined to live a life of constant death. So, I hope in the next life we can live the lives of normal beings."

After a moment of silence, a quiet yet firm voice entered her ears. "Promise."
