Chapter 450 Death of a Soldier
While Nova felt a being far more powerful than she could handle, flying toward her at high speed, Eric was moving in the same direction.
Even though he had used Nova's old things to mark the items he had used to attack the Hawk, he had to make the creature discover his challenger before he could find an opening to escape. Until then, he would be pursued by the mighty 4th-stage Hawk!
So he headed in the same direction as the bird, using his initial advantage along the way to get back to where Nova was.
He tried as hard as he could, and after about 5 minutes, he arrived at the spot where Nova was meditating near a waterfall.
Arriving there and feeling that his opponent was only three seconds away, Eric looked at Nova one last time and viciously smiled.
'Remember not to be a slut in your next life.' He moved on to escape this area, not caring what would happen if he stayed behind.
Nova didn't have to listen to her old friend's thoughts. As she felt the aura of a Sovereign approaching her with deadly intent, she noticed Eric's plans.
Before, the soldier had passed unnoticed because he was hiding. But now he couldn't do that in the middle of his escape.
'Damn, Eric! I hope you pay for this.' She thought as her facial muscles twitched.You can track the origins of this material back to n0velbin★
But she kept her eyes closed as she meditated, aware that no action of hers would save her. Even if she succeeded in absorbing the pentagram right now, she would still die if she had to fight the 4th-stage Hawk.
If she left her current state, she would suffer severe damage to her magic base, even if the Hawk ignored her.
She continued to do what she was doing with the only hope that the 4th-stage beast would ignore her.
But that wasn't going to happen!
The moment the Hawk saw Nova, it smelled the scent it had smelled earlier and remembered the bomb that had almost destroyed its eggs!
'Damn, you stupid human!' This beast focused on Nova and used one of its wings to fling several sharp, pointed feathers at this woman's body, meditating near a waterfall.
'Sigh... We're going to die together. Who would have guessed such a fate?' She laughed as Vicente looked at the big beast now staring at him thoughtfully.
'This hawk really has a green pentagram on it. We were lucky, master.' Torne said.
Not every magical being of a certain level would form a pentagram of a similar quality. In other words, green was the 4th class quality, compatible with the 4th stage. But there were 4th-stage beings who made 3rd-class pentagrams.
To find such a being was more difficult than anyone could have imagined!
Vicente said to Torne. 'Yes, but it will be a bit difficult to deal with. It's a damn Sky Sovereign! How are we going to defeat it? Even with our combined forces, I don't feel confident at all.'
'Let's try our best. I'll help you fight it as much as I can. But if that's not enough, the time will come for you to use your second magic form. It will be our last hope.' Torne said seriously and prepared to work together with Vicente.
Vicente knew the risk and sighed. 'Old Torne, please lend me your strength.'
As soon as he asked for it, Vicente felt a completely different aura growing within him, as a strange shadow appeared around his body, his eyes leaking darkness from themselves.
His aura suddenly tripled in density, making Hawk and Nova feel what was happening to him.
The Hawk became a few degrees more serious as it continued to observe the newcomer. At the same time, Nova was amazed at the change coming from Cesar's body.
'What has he done? Is this some kind of sacrificial art?' She wondered, feeling an aura that wasn't as strong as Tempest Hawk's but was very close to that being's realm of existence.
Vicente felt Torne's power at his disposal, completely mixed with his own, while the ghost himself felt Vice's power more easily. In their state, they could both use their powers simultaneously or even control each other's abilities!
Given the seal that bound them, they could act as one magical being by merging their powers!
Vicente smiled since he was the dominant part of his body in this state and, therefore, the greatest controller.
"Let's begin." He said as he moved, appearing behind Hawk in the blink of an eye.
