Chapter 70: The Quest To Save Lily [12]



****

Amon kept panting, deeply and fastly. His eyes widened so much that they looked like they would fall out of their sockets any second.

'I shouldn't look back. I shouldn't look back.' He kept repeating himself.

But he knew that he had to. This wasn't the first life that he would take in this world.

This was just the reality. He couldn't ignore it.

And so if he needed to progress and take more lives, he had to first eradicate his fear of looking back at his actions.

The consequences of what he had done.

So, he turned back.

And right there, in front of him were two headless bodies slumped to the ground, a large pool of blood forming around them.

And right behind the bodies, were the heads of the two guards.

Their expressions were distorted, almost at the edge of confusion and surprise.

They had been taken by surprise, completely unaware of what hit them.

Amon's soul trembled at the sight but he held it in and kept looking at the bodies.

Suddenly, his eyes widened even further and moved towards his body.

'N-no....' Amon thought.

His hand which was holding the bloody nodachi, his chest, his whole body.

They were completely motionless. Unafraid.

As if this was not the first kill they had done.

'H-has this body killed before?...' Amon thought with surprise.

He realized even further at the moment that there was no repulsive action from his body, which would be normal in such cases.

His soul might have been afraid right now but his body was used to it. Also explaining why his hand didn't tremble even till the last second when he was taking the lives of the guards.

'Has the past Amon murdered before?' The thought ran through Amon's head.

[We have a mission to accomplish right now Amon.] Zephyra quickly brought him back to the present.

He quickly shook his head to shake off such thoughts and quickly ran towards the bodies of the two guards.

His expression was still repulsive but he controlled himself for the sake of the mission. He stored the blood inside his spatial ring while storing the bodies and heads in [Inventory].

With their bodies halted for a couple of seconds, Amon reached them instantly.

His hands touched their bodies and immediately manipulated the blood inside their bodies.

It was nearly impossible to do it at a distance. Especially for a 2nd order clovist. But after touching them was another case.

Bringing their body blood close to his hands, Amon sent jolts of electricity running through their bodies.

Their bodies spasmed with pain as the blood inside their bodies revolted at such high

voltages.

It wasn't enough to halt their movements, but [Eye of the Void] was already doing its job.

With just a few seconds left, Amon pushed them back, sending their bodies crashing down toward the other pairs of guards that were hurrying up toward him.

And before they could do anything, he extended his arm towards them.

In the next moment, a river of blood formed and emerged in the space in front of him, crashing down towards the guards.

Following that, he connected his hands with the blood and with as much mana he could muster, sent electricity coursing through the blood.

The blood that just touched the guards and kept flowing down the stairs was electrified, and with it, so were the guards.

[Eye of the Void] was now on cooldown but the guards were still unable to move toward Amon with the raging onslaught of the blood river and the electricity that continuously spasmed

through their bodies.

Taking his hands off the blood, he stopped channeling electricity and realized that it was his

chance now.

He immediately used [Voidstep], appearing 10 meters down on the set of stairs, near the

guards.

Without wasting any moment, he unsheathed his nodachi and slashed towards their necks.

However, they were just a bit faster as they slightly moved at the end, making the blade only

slightly graze their necks.

Thought it wasn't what Amon had planned, it was enough.

He immediately used the first ability of his weapon.
