Chapter 219: Adam Vs. Victor



After crawling through a tunnel that spanned several kilometers, Victor returned back to the surface covered in dirt and sweat.

The entrance of the hole was around five hundred meters away from the wall, and they dug for several kilometers.

It was a long and important operation, but it horribly failed.

Victor walked over to a dead-looking tree that was the only tree in sight. There were three horses and one black camel tied to the tree.

He untied his very own black camel from the branch of the tree and hopped on it to start his return journey.

At that moment, he heard some strange noises coming from the hole near him. It sounded like someone crawling.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"The guards have already caught up to me?"

Victor's eyes turned cold, and then he used his sword to kill the horses so the guards wouldn't have any means to catch up to him.

With a squeeze by the reins, the black camel started to gallop towards the looming mountains on the horizon.

Victor kept glancing backwards and then saw a person jump from the hole. It wasn't any guard, but the person he fought earlier that day.

"That guy..." He whispered in surprise. "He is actually chasing me? I thought he would have second thoughts after I unarmed him with such ease. Why is he going to such lengths?"

After that, he remembered that it didn't matter that he killed those horses-that bastard had wings!

With eight-petaled wings, the person soared into the sky and started chasing him with a terrifying speed.

It was clear that the black camel was outclassed in terms of speed.

While in the wasteland, the black camel was one of the fastest creatures, but it was no match for this winged person.

However, in terms of endurance, the black camel might come out ahead, but Victor doubted that it would be enough to make up for the speed difference.

With a swoosh, Adam soared over him and landed in the ground ahead of him, facing him with a sword in hand.

Victor pulled on the reins, but it wasn't enough to stop in time as Adam slashed through the black camel's legs.

The black camel fell forward, and Victor quickly hopped off and then rolled out of the way of the falling animal, narrowly avoiding being crushed underneath it.

At that moment, Adam leaped over the dead black camel and smashed his sword at Victor. Victor quickly drew his sword, then tried to parry the heavy strikes, and he was somewhat successful, but he stumbled and lost his footing on the uneven ground.

With a lunge, Adam rushed back at him and swung his sword without stopping. Victor matched his energy, and their swords clashed together with a loud clang.

It was constant clanging as their swords clashed hundreds of times in the span of the minute.

Under the scorching sun, their fight raged on, both fighters showing no signs of backing down.

When another clash ended, Adam used the Little God's speed, and while he was fast enough to be almost invisible, Victor still managed to parry the blows.

With just a few attacks, Victor's whole body was screaming in pain.

'How can't I react to any of his moves? It's not like he is moving fast either!'

Without realizing it, he was currently under Influence!

Influence-it makes a person hesitate about everything they do, and that allowed Adam to continue landing easy hits.

It was mental warfare that Adam had mastered!

"Pull!" Adam summoned his sword back to his hand and then stabbed into Victor's chest, the tip of the blade barely inside his flesh.

"Argh!" Victor looked at the sword and coughed out blood. "Why... why aren't you finishing

your strike?"

"What was the reason for coming to Ebonreach?" Adam asked. "If you answer truthfully, I'll let you live."

"Hah..." Victor smirked with bloodied teeth. "No, you won't."

"No, I won't." Adam slashed through his body with an upward slash, splitting him in half

from his waist up.

With that, he collapsed on the ground before his feet, lifeless and defeated.

"..." Adam sheathed his bloodied sword and started heading back.

He wasn't happy about his victory today because he had a feeling that this wouldn't be the

last time he met Victor.

He was talented enough to reach his current level of strength in a few years and could easily catch up to people in his tutorial group if he put his mind to it.

However, no matter what, Adam didn't plan on allowing him to catch back to him.

When Victor peeked his head from his hole, Adam planned to smack him down again.

...

As the night fell over the Ebonreach, inside a cramped and empty house, Adam climbed out of

the hole and looked around the abandoned place.

'It looks like they left this house. I don't blame them for leaving in a hurry.'

Adam shrugged his shoulders and stepped out of the house, stepping back into the dark

streets of Ebonreach, the cold air of the night on his hair.
