Chapter 1113: Head Lab Assistant, Zitra The Cruel



In less than a few breaths, the Whisper Striding Arrow flew deep into the heart of Polkentin's Underwater Secret Base.

Crack..! Boom!

The Whisper Striding Arrow pierced through a thick solid metal door and flew directly toward the room's center.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Who dares to interrupt- Ahk!" A squeamish voice cried out.

The Whisper Striding Arrow struck the source of the voice and unleashed a large build-up of energy that erupted from its arrowhead.

The one hit by the arrow was a middle-aged man who stood awkwardly hunched over. The man was draped in a tattered coat that seemed to have absorbed a myriad of colors from years of experiments gone awry. He had wild unkempt hair that was frizzled as if it had been struck by lightning around his head with streaks of gray mingling with the remnants of its faded blonde color.

Thick round glasses magnified the man's eyes and revealed a manic glint that hinted at untamed brilliance. And, scattered across his face were smudges of what resembled ink and soot.

This man was the target sought out by the Whisper Striding Arrow, the Head Lab Assistant of the Mad Alchemist Polkentin, Zitra.

Zitra grabbed the arrow that penetrated right into the center of his chest. However, as he looked down and was about to pull the arrow out, a strong gust of wind blew before him. At the same time, a sword emerged from the shadow beneath Zitra, accompanied by a high- pitched screech and Izroth at its other end.

A few moments ago, when Izroth shot the Whisper Striding Arrow and activated Flickering Steps, he also used two other skills-Shadow Blending and Shadow Movement.

Shadow Blending greatly reduced Izroth's presence whenever he was in a shadowed area. And, Shadow Movement not only granted Izroth a boost to his agility but also fused the user with their own shadow for thirty seconds and allowed them to move freely.

Using a combination of the three skills, Izroth followed the shadow of the Whisper Striding Arrow and the path openings it left as a means to directly deliver himself to Zitra's location! Izroth was unable to pinpoint Zitra's location with his Energy Vision Sense or the Law of Wind; therefore, he figured Zitra was using some method to hide himself. However, just as Izroth expected, Zitra could not hide from the Whisper Striding Arrow, an item that would hit its target without fail.

In the split second that Zitra was distracted by the arrow abruptly pierced into his chest, Izroth canceled Shadow Movement. He then emerged from the shadow along with the Sword of the Storm and used the Seventh Sword Form: Motionless Killing Stroke to launch an attack aimed at the center of Zitra's torso.

Simultaneously, as Izroth canceled Shadow Movement and struck out at Zitra, he employed Appraisal to look at Zitra's information that was hidden by the system.

If one looked upward, they would be greeted by an unnerving reflection of themselves and their surroundings in a twisted and distorted world. This was brought about by the S-ranked magic item Izroth received from Morrighan after trading some of the Blood of the Immortal Hydra he obtained during his time in the crusade, the Silver Inversion Disc.

Battle Alert: <«<Head Lab Assistant, Zitra The Cruel»>'s Physical Resistance and Magical

Resistance have been reduced by 75%.0

Battle Alert: <«<Head Lab Assistant, Zitra The Cruel»> has been affected by <<Inverted Reality>>.

The moment Zitra was affected by the Silver Inversion Disc, the magic item's power was instantly reduced by 2%.

'It took ten percent of its power to activate at its current range of influence and another two percent to affect Zitra. It's consuming 0.05% per second. Is it so low because it's only affecting a single target?'

Since this was his first time using the Silver Inversion Disc, Izroth was unsure of the precise amount of power it consumed based on certain functions.
