Chapter 220: Blood Bath [5]

Chapter 220: Blood Bath [5]



***

Amon gasped hard, trying to catch his breath.

He ignored the sweat that trickled down his face, wetting his whole body.

Rather, he had a victorious grin on his face.

With squinted eyes, he stared at the slit-shaped portal before him, its violet-purple thread- like edges continuously swaying in the air.

As if it was about to snap and break at any moment.

And it was. Due to how inexperienced he was currently at this, it was a very weak portal.

It could snap at any moment. And also burst in the worst case, inflicting large damage on the area around it.

Because of that, Amon didn't waste any time and fell into the portal, keeping his happiness for later.

Just like a normal portal, Amon felt all of his senses distort.

But there were also differences. Ones that only he could notice.

Unlike a normal portal, he could still see here.

Amon found himself in the center of a large spatial tunnel with lines running around the transparent diameter.

It was like a wormhole from his world.

'Damn.' Amon floated and traveled through the tunnel at a breakneck speed.

It felt otherworldly.

But it wasn't the only difference.

Amon's eyes widened in shock as he suddenly felt a soothing sensation settle in his body.

He found a glittering purplish hue around his body.

And from his shocked eyes, he saw the injuries on his body slowly seal up.

The sweat and dirt disappeared from his body, cleaning his body up totally.

It was incredible. Too overpowered.

But Amon knew that this effect wasn't just because of his new Void Skill, which was named [Void Rifts].

It was also because of his passive Herald Skill.

[Void's Blessing].

It granted him healing and boosts in any spatial dimension, such as portals or in the FULLDIVE.

But since this rift was Void-attributed, its effects were even further enhanced.

Amon felt a sudden shift in the space around him.

It was very subtle but he was still able to notice it.

And it indicated that he was close to jumping out of the portal.

Since it was his first try and he was jumping between spatial dimensions, this was why the travel had taken so long.

Finally, he saw light at the other end of the tunnel and in the next instant, he broke through it.

Amon's senses returned slowly and one by one to him.

As his hearing returned, the sound of wind whipping against his body was instantly heard.

'Huh? Shouldn't I be in our apartment?'

But Amon's eyes widened in shock as he found himself falling down from the sky.

Hundreds of meters above his apartment.

The strong winds lashed at his body as he broke through the clouds.

Fortunately, his new constitution was able to let him breathe properly and stop his muscles from compressing.

Manifesting [Void Eyes] to their fullest, Amon was also able to maintain his vision.

The effects, combined with the strong adrenaline surge, slowed the whole world down to a quiet hum for him.

Amon focused on the task at hand.

He locked his gaze on the narrow metal corridor strip of their apartment on the upper floor.

'Just there...'

Amon had to time his landing perfectly.

'Almost...'

He still felt his body fall at a rapid speed, but the whole fall felt like an eternity for him. 'Now!' He screamed inside his mind as he was just meters away from crashing into his staircase.

Amon used [Voidstep].

His body glitched and disappeared under an amethyst blur.

And at the same instant, appeared down on the ground.

The velocity was still impacting his body, causing him to crash and run many steps on the ground before coming to a halt.

Gasping hard, Amon deactivated [Void Eyes].

It was an intense experience. But he was able to pull through with quick and calm thinking.

Catching his breath, Amon ignored the weird sensations running through his body and ran to the staircase of his apartment.

Running up, he quickly opened it and closed the door.

Running to the kitchen, he quickly gulped down several bottles of water, which also had bits of mana infused in them.

It helped replenish the mana slightly for the drinker as well.

Quenching his thirst, Amon quickly ran over the apartment, looking for a certain someone.

Only when he found no signs of life there did he sigh in relief.

'Yeah, it is. Please ensure that the three of them don't get in any way of harm. Especially Lily.

She's the one I worry about the most.'

Zephyra nodded.

[I'll get back at you, you reptilian bastard for stealing my spot.] She gritted her teeth before

running off.

Vain laughed on Amon's arm.

[Hahaha, cry about it you little woman. But take care of yourself, don't get alright?] He said.

Zephyra suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Eventually, she slowly turned and gave him a smirk. A rival-like smirk.

[Of course. I'm a goddess, unlike your human ass.]

She ran off again.

But before she disappeared, Vain's last words echoed in her mind.

[A goddess but with the brain of a jellyfish.]

[Fuck off.] Zephyra cursed.

***

Amon finally arrived in front of the infirmary.

And as he set his eyes upon it, his eyes widened. Multiple members of the group were in front of the entrance.

But...

They were all dead, their bodies laid strew across the cold hard ground.

Organs decorated and blood painted the whole floor in a crimson red.

It was a gruesome sight that would make anyone puke.

But Amon had seen worse. A lot worse.

As he gazed up, he saw multiple shadow soldiers of Arthur, standing atop the bodies,

guarding the building which was also encased in the barrier.

There was no doubt in Amon's mind. Even without the shadow soldiers, only one person could

inflict this amount of destruction.

It was none other than Arthur. And right now, he was inside the barrier.

His soldiers glanced at Amon as he walked across the ground, stepping on several bodies

while doing so.

They didn't stop him.

As he arrived before the barrier, Amon saw the infirmary's building standing tall, completely

in shape.

But Amon knew it was an illusion made using the barrier.

The barrier was made using [Sound], [Energy] and [Nature].

All three incredibly rare elements. It made Amon realize how big this organization was to use

such talented people for just a mere raid.

Clearing his thoughts, Amon focused on the building.

He knew that from inside, the scene was completely different.

And now, he was going to invade it.

He didn't now what was happening inside. But Amon knew one thing for sure.

It was going to be the most gruesome and hardest battle till yet.

'You ready?' He asked Vain, who was coiled around his arm.

Contrary to his serious mood, Vain was completely lighthearted.

[You bet I am. Let's go kick some red asses in there. I can finally let loose and pass through

them.]

'...' Amon was unable to respond to his words.

They could be taken in an insane off context.

But Amon knew it was intentional which was also why he broke into a fit of laughter.

He knew Vain did it to make his heart lighten up a bit.

He smiled slightly.

'Thanks.'

[No problem femboy. Let's head inside.]

Amon fell silent again at the mention of him as a femboy.

But chose to let it slide and deal with the snake later.

'Let's just do this.'

Raising his hand, Amon immediately applied [Void Touch] and [Void Flames] on his arm.

And then, pushed his arm through the barrier, tearing a part of it down as if it was just a fabric

for him to be torn.

And then, Amon cleanly passed through.

But as he saw the scene inside, a shock passed through his body.
