Chapter 858 Trap the Hyuman

Chapter 858 Trap the Hyuman

Michael had to move instantly to avoid the incoming bombardment of projectiles, spells, and debuffs.

He teleported twice in a row, once to move with the Hyuman into the center of the encirclement created by the Tritan Alliance's powerhouses and a second time alone to escape. It was close, an earth spike nearly piercing his back, but Michael escaped the attacks.

He appeared above the battlefield where Giuliana Seraph, Mother of Maria Seraph, levitated to apply her Healing Soultrait if necessary. She precisely controlled and compressed energy underneath her feet, allowing her to stay in the air.

Giuliana noticed Michael but didn't say anything. She had a lot to say to Michael, good and bad. However, now was not the time to complain about her daughter's broken heart, the fact that Michael was Maria's Primal Amplifier, or that Michael's contribution to the Civil War was why Giuliana and her husband could see their daughter again.

The Blaze Patriarch kidnapped her daughter to blackmail the Seraph family, forcing them to do things they weren't proud of. Fortunately, they overcame most issues without causing too much damage to society before reuniting with their daughter. Still, the aftermath of their actions was long-lasting and would probably affect the relationships within the Tritan Alliance for a while. Humanity would take time and effort to regain the Berserkers' and Warlock Centaurs' trust.

Fighting the Hyuman together was one way to regain trust and strengthen companionship within the Tritan Alliance.

Several highly compressed earth spikes shot out of the ground around the Hyuman. However, before they reach the Hyuman, the earthen spikes split into several thinner spikes, transforming into serpent heads. They coiled around the Hyumans' legs before an obsidian-colored spike emerged from the ground underneath the Hyuman.

Simultaneously, wind blades, energy beams, charged pristine arrows, and more projectiles shot toward the Hyuman from all directions. The attacks were only the beginning, but they were enough to put the Hyuman under pressure. Some of the incoming projectiles wouldn't harm him as he exerted the Primordial Bloodline technique when he noticed something odd about Michael.

His skin was tougher than most attacks a Tier-5 Awakened could throw at him. Only some special attacks, which naturally ignored an Awakened's physical resistance, would be able to inflict harm on him. Even Tier-6 Awakened should have difficulties harming him.

Therefore, the Hyuman didn't have to do much as the bombardment of projectiles ensued.

The only problem was the assault on his Mind and Soul – or the volley of Soultraits used to strengthen the incoming attacks and weaken the Hyuman.

The Primordial Bloodline technique at the mastery displayed by the Peak Tier-6 Hyuman was strong enough to weaken the effect of most Soultraits attempting to weaken him. However, his mastery wasn't enough to nullify the effects. Not even the gap in their Tier was enough – on top of the Primordial Bloodline technique – to nullify the debuffs.

The Hyuman's defense lowered. His sight grew hazy, and he was having a much harder time controlling the energy that was residing within him. Not only were his energy paths narrowed suddenly, but it felt like the origin energy inside him started resisting the Hyuman. That was only the beginning.

Palika, Niechos, and the four other Tier-6 powerhouses emerged in front, beside, and behind the Hyuman. The six Tier-6 powerhouses unleashed their Soultraits and tapped deeper into their power reserves than ever. Niechos glowed in pristine light and gained a tremendous boost in power as he fired at the Hyuman as the Tritan Alliance's main tank.

Simultaneously, Palika gave his utmost. After the battle with the Bloodhound, Palika started preparing for the next battle against a Divine Lifeform. Fortunately, that wasn't necessary as the firmaments tore apart. Afterward, Palika was ready to unleash everything at his disposal to deal with the Blaze Patriarch. However, once again, it wasn't necessary.

But now he could. Palika's palm glowed vibrantly when he materialized behind the Hyuman, pressing it against the back of his head. He unleashed the full fury of [Energy Palm] with the power he'd accumulated in his Main Soultrait [Hoarding Power] over the last few months. Gaining Energy Palm and another Soultrait called Compression from Michael skyrocketed his combat prowess. After all, he could compress the power within his main Soultrait, Hoarding Power, to channel it through Energy Palm.

Niechol's Unstoppable, alongside the Soultraits and brute force applied by the other Tier-6 powerhouses, and the Soultrait unleashed by the dozens of powerful Tier-5 powerhouses, who had gathered to obliterate the Tier-6 Hyuman, were enough to restrain the Hyuman for a moment.

A moment was each it took.

'He underestimated the Tritan Alliance.' Michael realized, a smile forming on his lips as Palika's Energy Palm burst into the back of the Hyuman's head, cracking his skull.

A primal roar eluded the Hyuman's lips as the cracking noise reverberated through the surroundings. A mere moment later, the entire area was coated in a bright light. The full power of Energy Palm had been unleashed upon the Hyuman.

Palika roared in pain as his entire hand was blown into smithereens, unable to withstand the power he'd unleashed to kill the Hyuman. However, that was fine. Losing his hand was nothing compared to killing a Peak Tier-6 Hyuman. In the first place, the Tritan Alliance's strongest healers were present to tend to his wounds. His hand could regenerate in the next few days.

At least, that was what Palika hoped before he realized something.

"I didn't obtain his energy influx!!" Palika roared, only to hear a whisper in his ears.

"Yeah, 'cause I'm not dead, you disgusting parasite!" The Hyuman, the back of his head blown apart, growled.

He was not dead yet. They failed.

"That's okay," A familiar voice materialized behind the Hyuman. He spun around, only to see Michael coated in gold and over a hundred Curse Seals. He smiled at the Hyuman, his hand pressing against the Hyuman's face, "Because I'm here."
