Chapter 893 Twice Bitten
Nora Alstreim had successfully parried the purple lightning attack with her quick-maneuver of the purple flames that protected her arm, and the damage it caused was negligible to her, but in their first bout, she lost. She lost in the sense that she had taken the first hit.
"Since warm-up is over, I will now come at you seriously, so don’t you dare slack off!" Nora Alstreim smirked in a severe light as she clasped her hands.
"Earth Smiting Searing Flame Step!"
The purple flames that danced around her formed a whirlwind of flames below her feet. On top of growing purple flamed wings, she seemed to possess the support of the surging flames that propelled her speed into three-fold.
She instantly arced behind Logan, traveling a kilometer in a mere second and caught him off-guard.
Logan was a one-step too late to counterattack as he fell for her feint. It looked like she was casting a technique, but it wasn’t, so he had to quickly revolve the essence energy to counter her move. However, knowing that he would fail to defend as well, he dodged towards the side.
Lightning buzzed below his feet, and his steps seemed to leave a trail of marks, forming smokes of haze that further enhanced his speed. Each step he made over the air below his feet reverberated, giving a low echo like a clap of distant thunder.
’Thunder Cloud Movement!’
Flames seared through his body, but it turned out to be his afterimage left through sheer speed, and the heat revolved from his purple-colored lightning.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.
The Mid-Level Sky Grade Movement Technique that Logan used seemed to go well with his current Essence Gathering Cultivation Technique, Incursive Barren Lightning Manual. It was the Peak-Level King Grade Lightning Attributed Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual that Davis gave to his father.
After all, Extinction Lightning Judgment Manual became redundant as its grade was low. Fortunately, the Incursive Barren Lightning Manual was compatible with their previous circulation methods, and though there were slight differences within the circulation methods of the two cultivation manuals, it didn’t differ much.
Nora Alstreim didn’t stop pursuing as she stepped on the air like a purple flaming bird. She kept her advantage and chased Logan as she attacked with her purple flames. Her purple flames danced around her arms as essence energy surged out like a tide as the essence energy formed a whip made of purple flames that struck Logan from above.
Logan finally stopped one and a half kilometers away from the edge of the martial platform. He looked at the wincing Nora Alstreim and felt that it was enough. He controlled the urge to look at Claire’s expression but imagined that it would be uncontrollably elated. He even momentarily forgot that he wouldn’t be able to see her expression because she was wearing a mask just like him.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but sigh at the Cultivation Manual he cultivated in as he looked at his two arms, which were slightly burned. The technique he used was unable to block the explosion that was borne from the collision of the two powers, making his wrists slightly injured.
In truth, the Incursive Barren Lightning Manual was more suitable for Davis.
This manual’s offensive techniques were off the charts that it solely concentrates on the area of effect attacks and destruction alone. The property of extinction was better suited to his kind of Cultivation Manual as it was able to make an area become barren from the rain of black lightning.
In any case, there seemed to be only one defensive technique in the Incursive Barren Lightning Manual, which was actually an offensive technique in disguise, which is this irregular-shaped purple lightning which Logan threw at Nora Alstreim.
The moment it was thrown, it split into three in a stable manner from the frenzied veil, with each one capable of defending and attacking by the user’s control. One of them crashed with the purple flames, and the other two hid in the chaotic explosion. One of the remaining two lightning bolts changed into a barrage of purple lightning and chased after Nora Alstreim while the other managed to evade sight by mixing in within the lightning barrage.
The moment Nora Alstreim formed a barrier and no longer looked back spelled her blunder. The last bolt of purple lightning traveled in an arc, and by the time she managed to sense it even without hearing the warning, it was too late. The purple lightning managed to hit her waist, electrocuting her.
Though the damage wasn’t critical, Nora Alstreim didn’t look too good.
She fell for the same trap twice!
It didn’t take a genius that using the flaming barrier was strong and durable, but it also blocked her eyesight and scrambled her sense. It worked against her in the end!
Her small fists clenched as her pupils shook in shame!
These two mistakes were entirely her fault. She was too hasty in wanting to get back at Logan, but she was able to realize this fact in time, making herself calm down. However, that didn’t mean that her impression of this masked deviant didn’t drop further.
"It seems like we tied in this bout. However, I’m still in the leading."
Logan had enough as he accomplished his goal, so he asked, "Don’t you think that it’s time that you surrendered?"
