Chapter 474 472-Prophet Magus's Battle Style

After narrowly evading the sudden lightning strike from above, Ethan wasted no time and sprinted towards the upper floor of the inn.

He was keenly aware that the enigmatic figure in black was likely upstairs.

Upon reaching the inn's second floor, Ethan caught a fleeting glimpse of the shadowy figure disappearing towards the end of the hallway, near a window.You'll find the origin of this content at n0velb!n•

Determined not to let their quarry escape, Ethan swiftly traversed the corridor within the dream, finding himself outside the inn in the midst of a raging snowstorm.

Even within the dream, the blizzard's power was palpable.

Ethan sensed his mental state deteriorating rapidly due to the dream's adverse conditions.

Nevertheless, he remained undeterred, relying on the power of the Primordial Light.

It allowed him to maintain his sanity within the dream and gradually restore his optimal condition.

Ethan embarked on the task of tracking down the elusive figure in black.

He could sense the presence of the mysterious individual nearby, but pinpointing their exact location proved elusive.

After searching for a while, Ethan began to feel that his actions might have been somewhat misguided.

Consequently, he made the decision to return to the inn, intending to check on the conditions of both Prophet Magus and Shadow Elf.

While he believed that Prophet Magus and Shadow Elf should be relatively unscathed, the fact that they hadn't emerged yet indicated that their conditions might not be as favorable as he had hoped.

Upon his return to the inn, Ethan found Prophet Magus clutching his head in agony, his expression contorted with pain.

Shadow Elf, on the other hand, remained unconscious, apparently having succumbed to the effects of the lightning strike.

"The lightning strike just now, its power was unexpectedly overwhelming. Why do I feel like its force wasn't as great as I initially thought?" Ethan pondered aloud, his confusion evident.

He couldn't reconcile the intensity of the lightning strike with his perception of it.

In response to Ethan's question, Prophet Magus replied directly, "The primary target of that lightning strike was Shadow Elf and me. It appears that the figure in black may not want to directly engage with you, perhaps because they believe their strength isn't as formidable as yours."

Ethan considered Prophet Magus's explanation plausible and decided not to dwell on the matter further.

Instead, he urged Prophet Magus to regain his optimal condition swiftly.

"Can you restore yourself to your best state now? If you can, we should join forces and hasten our pursuit of the figure in black," Ethan suggested.

While Ethan possessed formidable strength and the enigmatic ability of Primordial Light, which could harness almost any attribute of energy, he remained unsure of how Prophet Magus could restore himself to peak condition.

Prophet Magus's combat style was fundamentally different from other classes, relying on prophecy and inflicting misfortune upon enemies to secure victory.

All his skills were derived from the River of Destiny.

Just as Prophet Magus was on the brink of exhaustion, Ethan arrived, ready to confront the adversary head-on.

"It's me you're dealing with now! If you want to escape successfully, you'll have to defeat me first! If you can't beat me, there's no way you'll elude my pursuit!" Ethan declared, his anger palpable.

Ethan was seething with frustration.

He believed that the figure in black had caused significant disruptions and delays.

Without their interference, he might have already traversed the Glacial Peaks and been well on his way to the location where the White King legend was said to unfold.

Time was of the essence, and he couldn't afford any more setbacks.

Ethan's anger perplexed the figure in black.

From the figure's perspective, they hadn't intentionally targeted Ethan.

Their confrontation had arisen solely because Ethan had relentlessly pursued them.

Despite his reluctance, the figure in black knew they had no choice but to face Ethan in combat.

Ethan's determination to eliminate the figure in black was evident, and he was resolute in his intention.

Facing Ethan's relentless assault, the figure in black felt the mounting pressure.

As time passed, it became increasingly evident that they couldn't withstand Ethan's attacks.

"Your power is undeniably formidable! I didn't want to become your adversary, but since you insist on pursuing me, you leave me no choice! Do you truly believe your strength alone is enough to defeat me? You are rather naive. You cannot defeat me because I can escape at will! Within this dreamland, I am virtually invincible!"

After uttering those words, the figure in black extended their hands, and a blood-red eye materialized between their palms.

This blood-red eye emitted a potent Power of Curse that permeated the surroundings.

Ethan was intimately familiar with this blood-red eye.

He had encountered it before when dealing with Dart.

It meant that, like Dart, the figure in black had obtained the power of the God of Curses.

Knowing this, Ethan was even more determined not to let the figure in black escape.

"No matter what assistance you've received from the God of Curses, you won't escape! I've sealed off this entire dreamland! You must face me in a battle to the death here!"

Ethan concentrated all of his Primordial Light power, and even within the dreamland, its strength remained formidable.

Not far away, Prophet Magus opted for the safest course of action, swiftly retreating to the inn and seeking the most secure location.

Prophet Magus's decision was driven by his intuition that the impending battle between Ethan and the figure in black would be intense, possibly even spilling over to involve him.
