Chapter 421: The War has started... Part-2.



Spire of Ascension, Floor 30.

[Why have you stopped in this place? Weren't we supposed to go more deeper?]

Lia shook her head at that question and spoke in a calm tone.

"My foresight's telling me to stay here for a while..."

Lia can see a few seconds into the future, but sometimes when her foresight isn't locked on a specific target, it can give hints and warnings about events that might happen.

The future is ever-changing; the slightest change in circumstances can change the course of destiny; moreover, she has never been able to predict Rio's future, so her skill isn't capable of calculating an anomaly.

Nonetheless, it's still a very overpowered ability.

Lia has absolute faith in her skill; thus, she chose to believe the hints and warning given by the foresight.

[Hmm? Is something dangerous happening on the lower floor? The entire spire of ascension is riddled with holes...]

[Some strange attacks are being fired from lower floors that seem to involve the time elementals...] "Yeah, likely some time magic or other related type skill user is fighting in the lower floors... As for above... the battle above seems even more intense..."

"Hmm?"

All of a sudden, a look of confusion appeared on Lia's face as she got another hint from her foresight.

'Stretch out my hand? For what?'

Although Lia didn't know what this hint meant, she did so without hesitating much. *BOOOM!* *CRACK!*

Just as she extended her hand, the ceiling began to crack and collapse, causing a massive amount of debris to fall through it with immense momentum.

Lia was standing out of the range so she didn't get hit by it; instead, a very familiar person came flying, and the hand she had stretched out caught the person who fell from above. "Oh, Riya!? You were also here?"

It was none other than Riya, who fell from above and got caught by Lia.

Riya immediately hugged Lia with a thankful look on her face.

"Ah! I thought I was gonna die today! Thankfully, you saved me!"

Lia felt a bit awkward, but she accepted those words of thanks.

"What were you doing that you broke through the ground and fell down like that? You really do some crazy stuff sometimes..."

Hearing that question, Riya pointed towards the gigantic hole in the ceiling and spoke in a serious tone.

"I was actually walking with Rio and looking for you guys everywhere, but then suddenly an earthquake came and the floor collapsed..."

"But just when I fell down, I noticed an extremely powerful aura coming closer... I think Rio is likely fighting an S-ranker right now! We need to go up and provide support!"

"That S-ranker had immense vitality!! It seemed much stronger than any other S-ranker, even stronger than that demon prince we saw in Oaklum!!"

Hearing those words, a look of worry appeared on Lia's face.

She has great belief in Rio's combat skills, but even Rio can't possibly fight a peak S-ranker on equal terms as of yet.

Lia wanted to go help Rio in the battle, but then her foresight got triggered once again and urged her not to go above.

Instead of going above, her foresight was asking her to get to the lower floor with Riya instead.

'This is the exact reason why I don't like using this ability... It always creates such a dilemma for me and always interferes with my judgment abilities...'

Lia deliberated for a considerable amount of time and ultimately arrived at a decision with significant difficulty.

"Riya, leave that battle to Rio; we are going to the lower floors! Rio can definitely hold his ground for the time being!"

A look of shock appeared on Riya's face as Lia didn't go to help Rio and instead chose to go downstairs.

"T-this!? Wait, I am not joking, Lia, I am speaking the truth; there really is an S-ranker above; if we don't do anything, Rio's going to be in trouble..."

Lia gritted her teeth at those words and grabbed her hand to drag her away.

from the attack's range; the gigantic fist hit the walls and stopped.

Link landed on the ground and found himself standing in a massive hall.

A giant demon appeared in front of him and started to laugh like a maniac at the top of his

lungs!

"BAHAHAHAHA, I heard from master that you are the best 'warrior' Link Rex! Come!! Fight me!! I will show you hell!!! BAHAHAHAHA!"

Hearing the other party's words, Link immediately took his stance and got ready for battle.

"Hoh, you are challenging me for a warrior's duel? Well fine, I will deal with you first before

going further down..."

Although Link's left arm has been destroyed, his combat effectiveness hasn't been lost.

He can still fight at full power even without an arm.

'Still... this guy's a peak S-ranker... Where did such a strong demon even come from!?'

'Wasn't Alverto also just an S-ranker? Then why are other peak S-rank demons working for

him...'

Demons are very arrogant types of creatures that have no such concept as loyalty.

They won't work for other demons unless the other party is overwhelmingly stronger than

them.

'Has that guy broken through to SS rank? Sh*t, that's very bad news...'

Link clenched his fist and asked with a calm look on his face,

"Oi, fat potato! Is your master an SS-ranker?"

The demon looked oval-like and round like a potato in body shape, thus Link instantly gave it

a nickname.

But that nickname indeed worked wonders; the demon immediately got angered by Link's

mocking words.

'Hmph, idiot, losing your calm over such a small thing, you are like a total amateur... If it was Liam in my place, this fat potato would have died from insults alone...'

Liam is the smartest guy in their group, and he's the only one who likes to use enemies'

emotions against their own strength.

Link also learned this ability from Liam's fighting methods.

'I wonder if the rest of the group is also here... ugh... If Riya's here, she's gonna beat me up for

not wearing the engagement ring...'

[Dao Rhythm!] Link covered himself in dao rhythm and smirked at the demon as if mocking him to come and

try attacking

him.

The demon's face visibly went red from anger, and its eyes went bloodshot in an instant!

"I WILL KILL YOU!! YOU PEST!!"

Link immediately jumped away to dodge the mad rampage of the demon with a mocking grin

on his face.

"Yeah, yeah, try to hit me; you will never reach me, you overgrown potato!"
