Chapter 159 The Battle for Perfection... part-2.

[Ultimate skill: Soul Splitting!]

Rio swung his sword horizontally at an insane speed.

Rahab was not a genuine SS-ranker originally, in fact, he didn't even have the 'authority' to walk in the air like an S-ranker could. In his mana-less state, he was currently weaker than a genuine S-ranker.

Nonetheless, his physical stats were still at the level of an SS-ranker though.

His perception was on par with a genuine SS-ranker and thus he immediately sensed it.

Death.

He sensed his death from Rio's attack, that sensation immediately caused him to become sober and the fear of death made his chaotic mind, calm down instantly.

He stomped on the ground with all his might, broke through the ceiling, and jumped out of this underground hall at an insanely fast speed.

Rio's attack missed.

'It seems those with higher perception capabilities can sense it when I use this skill... moreover, now he is alert and it would be difficult to attack him... what a headache...' (Rio)

Rio immediately followed Rahab outside. He chased Rahab through the hole that Rahab had created in the ceiling.

"Ellie! after them!" (Liam)

At Liam's order, shadow wings appeared behind Ellie's back, she held Liam in her hand and flew out at an insanely fast speed.

[Divine Spirit's Blessing: Wings of light!]

Silver wings appeared behind Lia and she also rushed out with a worried look on her face.

[Little Girl, that demon is out of your league...]

"I know, but!" (Lia)

[If you want to assist that guy, then stay at a distance and do some long-range attacks instead...]

"Okay... I will do so..." (Lia)

With a determined look on her face, Lia also chased behind Rio's shadow. She didn't want to see him injured like before. She wanted to help him at any cost.

Seeing everyone rush out and chase that demon, Kira glanced at Fade and asked in a doubtful voice.

"Should we go too?" (Kira)

But when she turned back to glance at Fade, she found that he had already fainted on the ground.

"W-what now!?" (Kira)

With a bewildered look, Kira tried to get Fade conscious again.

(He fainted due to Rahab's demonic aura, unlike everyone else he was suffering from mana deviation in this dungeon and thus he fainted at the moment when Rahab's demonic aura pressured his weakened mind....)

While Kira was trying to get Fade conscious again, Riya was trying to do the same.

"Link wake up please! Please wake up!" (Rya)

A worried look appeared on Riya's face as her healing seemed to be not working. She already healed Link's shattered bones and organs but he was still unconscious for some reason.

Slight tears appeared in Riya's eyes as she looked at Link's closed eyes.

Meanwhile, Damian stood guard for his daughter and didn't chase after the demon either.

He looked at Riya trying to heal Link, but was also helpless.

'I am really a worthless father.... I can't even protect those whom my daughter cares about...' (Damian)

...

Boss area, above the tomb of perfection.

The snowy peak of an extremely tall mountain.

'So this main altar was located inside a mountain's peak... and this snow must have served as cover for the entrance....' (Rio)

Rahab flinched and lost focus for a second due to the searing pain caused by that divine spirit's magic.

And Rio immediately seized this golden opportunity instantly.

He aimed for Rahab's neck and swung his sword with all his might.

Rahab was caught off guard, he couldn't sense Rio's presence either, but he immediately sensed his death again.

His perception was too high and unless he was completely immobilized there was no way he would let Rio hit him with that attack.

Rahab barely tilted his neck on time and thus caused Rio to miss that attack again.

(Rio can use 'soul splitting' on one target for 'once' but since it hasn't struck yet, it can't be considered to be 'used', he missed both times after all...)

Seeing that his attack had missed, Rio disappeared into thin air once again.

He was now playing hide and seek with Rahab, whenever Rahab had his guard down he would appear and attack him with all his might and if the attack didn't land, Rio would disappear once again.

This back and forth made Rahab more and more frustrated as time went by.

He felt so angry that he punched the ground with all his strength and forcefully broke Ellie's shadow field.

Several divine nails and fireballs rained from above that injured Rahab further and made him even more frustrated.

"You damned rats!" (Rahab)

In his anger and frustration, Rahab stomped the ground and created a huge crater in an instant. Debris flew far and wide, But Rio and Ellie both were unaffected by this.

Ellie rushed ahead and jumped on Rahab to immobilize him. But Rahab was no idiot either, he immediately punched Ellie in the face.

Unfortunately for him, though Ellie was a shadow dragon, his punch went right through her body and this gave Ellie a perfect opportunity to bind Rahab.

A grin appeared on her face and both of her hands turned into shadow whips that curled around Rahab and tied him in their grasp.

Rio appeared right behind Rahab at that precise moment. He put his sword above his shoulder and sliced down, he aimed for Rahab's head this time.

[Ultimate Skill: Soul Splitting!]

This time Rio's attack landed right on Rahab's head.

Rio's attack directly split Rahab's head in two and continued downwards till it sliced off half of his upper body in a '\' manner.

One-half of Rahab's upper body split apart and fell down. His brain matters exposed and his eyes stared at Rio with hatred filled in them.

But surprisingly Rahab didn't stop at all, his red pupils stared at Rio and he broke through Ellie's grasp.

With his right hand that was still intact, he punched at Rio, but Rio disappeared into thin air again.

Only one thought appeared in Rio's mind.

'The skill worked but only half... I was only able to destroy half of his soul he is still able to function... what a headache... I can't even use that attack again...' (Rio)

(Rio has just recently awakened this skill, don't blame him for being less proficient in it....)

All of a sudden the situation had turned grim after Rio's attack failed.
