Chapter 1340 Continued Attacks
A barrage of lightning fell around Randal as he twisted and turned to get out of harm's way. He spun space around him multiple times to redirect the lightning too, but Ning scared him to the point that he wanted to dodge by himself.
He didn't want to take a chance with space when the person in front of him had the capacity to affect it as well.
What surprised Randal more than anything was that he was being played by someone who was only in the Essence Manifestation realm. If anyone found that a Stellar Harmony realm individual was being toyed around like this, they would make fun of it for all of his life.
'Time, Space, Shadow, Void, Lightning, and Sound,' Randal thought. "What else does he have? And how did he acquire them all in the first place?'
Randal hadn't even been aware that he had mistaken one of the Essence types out of sheer confusion.
Ning threw out more and more lightning attacks, while constantly fighting back Spatial attacks. He either switched to Space Core and fought back or simply didn't care that he was cut and destroyed by it.
Teleporting him around didn't work either as Ning would just teleport back to where he was.New novel chapters are published on
As such Randal remained on the defensive. He knew something more was up here and he didn't want to needlessly fall into a trap. His only hope to see this through was to wait until the end and hopefully have Ning lose all Essence.
The fight lasted for no more than 3 minutes before Ning had to change to another core.
"Another?" Randal couldn't help but get angry now. "Just how many do you actually have?"
"Don't worry, there's only this and one more," Ning answered him truthfully and attacked with another Essence that Randal had never felt before.
He tried dodging the attacks Ning made barely based on his senses of where the Essence was being used, but to his eyes, nothing was happening. That made him slightly confused.
Ning appeared close by again, brought there by Umbra who stood behind him. She did nothing but aid him in battle by always keeping him around Randal.
"You have brought me down to my last Essence Core, Randal Tarmon," Ning said. "You better pay up while you still have the chance because once I'm done with this, I will kill you for what you did."
Randal took a deep breath and stared at Ning with no fear. "I admit I was hasty in my decision-making, but I will not be threatened by you. If we must, I will let the law decide what I must do in repayment."
"I don't bloody care what the law says," Ning said. "You killed my beast in my home that you trespassed upon. Either pay with what you value or pay with your life. There is nothing else that I will accept."
Randal gritted his teeth in frustration. He was acutely frustrated that he was constantly being made fun of by whom he should easily be beating. What he was even more frustrated by was that he couldn't find a way to leave this world of shadows using his Space Essence.
It was almost as if there was no way out. Would he have to do what he didn't want to?
Ning sighed and changed his Essence Core again, and almost instantly used it. The technique he used didn't do anything or create something with the Essence. What it did in fact was send a flow of this Essence toward Randal in its raw form.
Randal frowned a little when he sensed both the Essence and the attack. There was something wrong with this attack and Essence. Not only was it being used so carelessly, there was something about him that gave him a bad feeling.
Almost as if he had seen this being used sometime in his past.
Randal gasped as he remembered the tiny Essence crystal that he kept around all the time and had ended up using it in desperation to save his life when fighting against the leader of the assassins.
This was that terrible Essence that had killed the man the moment it came into contact with him.
Randal didn't want any of this, so he used his Space Essence to try and get away from there. However, the moment the Space Essence came into contact with the mysterious Essence, everything went bad.
