Chapter 1013 1013 (Spoiler, Title at the Bottom of the )
Currently floating just above the ground in his ghost form and in a suspended state, all Marcus could do was watch the man that had thoroughly beaten him and Mrazivý quickly recover from his wounds.You'll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★
The horrible cut that ran through his right arm that Mrazivý's final strike had caused was already mostly sealed up, and the deep laceration Marcus had carved into the man's shoulder was only a small scar that would soon fade away entirely.
The two of them had put their all into the attacks that caused these injuries, but in only a dozen seconds the overpowered man that had appeared from within the Tower of Heaven had fixed them with only a peeved expression to show how far he had been pushed.
'Mrazivý still hasn't come down yet. I can only hope that she manages to recover enough to escape while she is still in the air. I know she said she would rather fight and die with me than run away, but I can't bring myself to want her to perish alongside me.' Marcus thought holding onto the only solace that he could.
When she had contacted him with telepathy during his battle with the man that did not have a status, he had told her to get away, but she refused. In the end, Marcus had no option other than to except her proposition to launch finishing attacks at the same time or else she might do something even more reckless.
Now though, he wished he had been able to get her to leave without joining the battle. After witnessing the bottomless power that their enemy had, Marcus knew that they never stood a chance.
During the majority of the battle, the man had only fought using his physical strength. Not until the very end of the fight did he use so much as a sliver of mana. But when he finally did unleash his power, Marcus was able to feel the full breadth of it.
Without a doubt this man was the strongest entity Marcus had ever encountered. Not even Boreas, the leader of the adventurers guild, or even the other great spirits had been as overwhelming.
'He doesn't have a status because he's an invader. He mentioned Roxene's parents' names and seemed gleeful when he talked about killing her but was upset to find she was not with me. The Administrator told me she has enemies that have their sights on Mirrion. He must be one of them.'
If he died, Lilia would lose the last bit of family that she had left. For Lyra he knew she would get by thanks to having Quillon, but his death would certainly weight heavily on her. Then there was Mrazivý. The two of them had been living their lives together side by side for years as partners now and Marcus was not sure how she would take it if he was no longer with her. Of course, that was only if she was lucky enough to survive in the first place.
In quick flashes the faces of all the people that Marcus cared about flashed before his eyes, and he could not help but feel a deep pain in his chest. He wanted desperately to live, but he only had a couple more seconds left as the man who was his enemy sauntered towards him to deliver the finishing blow.
Once the man without a status came to a stop next to him, Marcus looked up and saw that the man had raised his foot to literal stomp the out his life.
A part of Marcus wanted to close his eyes and hope that he would not even realize he was dead until it was already over, but at the last moment he decided to glare resentfully into the eyes of the man that was about to kill him.
In return for Marcus' glare the man simply smirked and brought his foot down. It was a powerful attack filled with spiritual energy, and Marcus knew he would not survive getting hit by it.
Yet as Marcus watched the attack that would end his life speeding towards him, it suddenly stopped. It was a completely unexpected occurrence that left both Marcus and the man that wanted to kill him dumbfounded.
A small rift in space had appeared just above Marcus, and a delicate looking arm was reaching through it and had gripped the man's leg. Stopping it in its tracks.
Then without warning, a massive wave of dark red energy burst out from the hand and engulfed the man that had intruded onto Mirrion.
