Chapter 103 Crown
At that moment, the girls were getting closer and closer to where a theater once stood.
"Ohhh, that's not something the master would do..." Amanda spoke, but looking at her eyes and her tone of voice, there was no sense of concern.
"Eyes? Fiona, do you know anyone like this?" Freytan asked, and upon hearing that, Amanda said, "Yeah, you were part of those bastards... Is this guy strong?"
Fiona looked at the hundreds of red eyes, each one emanating a red mist as they slowly disappeared. "As I've said, nobody really knows anyone, so something like power is impossible to gauge."
"Ah," Freytan seemed thoughtful, then shook her head, sighing, and said, "Well, he wouldn't make the mistake of losing..."
"That's why, Freytan and Fiona, we should run as fast as possible to see this criminal get beaten up, hahaha," Amanda showed a slight sign of concern as she positioned herself and took off running as fast as she could.
"Hunf, so even Amanda has doubts..." Fiona spoke, her eyes glowing with a faint blue light as an icy mist formed around her. Within seconds, she was already catching up to Amanda.
"There's no way he'd lose, right?" Freytan said, and then quickly ran after the other girls.
From within the dust cloud that had risen, the sound of clapping was heard, creating a gust of wind that dispersed all the dust, revealing Noah's dirty and tattered clothes, with different parts of his body covered in golden energy.
"Hahahahakakhaha, what shall we do now?" Dantalian grabbed the fabric of his suit, tore it, and threw it aside, looking directly at Zaytren.
Amidst this situation, a small hummingbird emerged, passing by Dantalian and hovering directly on Zaytren's left shoulder.
With its colorful eyes emitting a faint Krintoin energy, the word "Run" came out of its beak, followed by, "You can win." Zatryen held the hummingbird with his hand, bringing it to the front of his face.
"How? Tell me, look at my situation. How can I escape from this monster?" Zaytren pointed at Dantalian, who had stopped and was now holding his right hand on his face, looking at him as if watching a dog play.
"So, you are one of the fifteen? From your voice, you seem like a beautiful woman," Dantalian spoke, smiling with a presumptuous look towards Zaytren. "If you don't mind answering me, are you the so-called paradise?"
"Paradise?" the voice coming from the hummingbird asked. At that moment, Zatryen dug his fingers into the ground with a furious expression but forced a calm tone as he spoke, "What? He doesn't know what he's talking about?"
Before he could say anything else, Dantalian intervened, saying, "No, I clearly heard you talking about it not once, but three times or more." Dantalian tapped his forehead. "Hmm, am I hearing things?"
The hummingbird let out a disappointed sigh. "You're still talking about that? Well, forget what I said. Fight and die."
The hummingbird launched into the sky, flying away, and caught a glimpse of three girls sitting in front of a window just a few meters from where the destruction's radius ended.
The hummingbird soared into the sky, flying away and catching a glimpse of three girls sitting in front of a window of a house a few meters away from where the destruction ray ended.
"Well, I've bought enough time... From what I found out, I just need to kill you to bring Dealer back to the original location." The golden energy that would cover parts of Dantalian's body concentrated entirely on the tips of his fingers. As Zatryen charged at him, Dantalian swiftly dodged the furious attack.
"You're nothing more than an insolent rat!" Zatryen shouted, his voice echoing through the ruins as he launched himself at Dantalian once again.
Dantalian remained agile and evasive, gliding through the battlefield amidst the ruins of the theater. The golden energy surrounding his body protected him from Zatryen's quick and powerful strikes.
The red eyes, which once infested the whole place, now focused on Dantalian. Zatryen summoned more and more of them, trying to overwhelm his opponent. However, Dantalian reacted with skill, destroying the red eyes as they approached.
"Is that all you've got?" Dantalian taunted, his calm voice contrasting with Zatryen's rage. "You're just a toy in the hands of the true master!"
These words only fueled Zatryen's anger even more. He charged at Dantalian with increased intensity, his strikes hitting the air with ferocity, but Dantalian continued to dodge with supernatural agility.
Suddenly, Zatryen raised his arm, gathering energy in his hand and preparing a devastating attack. The energy around him intensified, creating a menacing aura.
"No more games! I'll end you once and for all!" Zatryen roared, releasing the accumulated energy in a powerful strike.
Dantalian stood firm, facing Zatryen's attack head-on. When the blow finally collided with him, a wave of golden energy exploded, creating a reverberating blast that engulfed the entire area.
As the dust settled, Zatryen watched attentively, expecting to see the wreckage and the lifeless body of Dantalian. However, to his surprise, Dantalian emerged from the explosion unscathed, with his golden energy still pulsating around him.
"I'm sorry, but you'll need more than that to defeat me," Dantalian said calmly, flashing a disdainful smile at Zatryen. "Your attacks won't have any effect on me anymore. Your last chance was when I still thought I needed to keep you alive."
The sight of Dantalian standing unscathed only fueled Zatryen's fury even more. He couldn't believe that his most powerful attack failed to scratch his opponent. Determination replaced surprise in his eyes as he clenched his fists, refusing to accept defeat.
"Impossible! You can't be this strong!" Zatryen gritted through gritted teeth, his voice trembling with anger and frustration. "I won't let you make a fool out of me!"
Zatryen charged at Dantalian again, his attacks now even more ferocious and relentless. He summoned countless silver eyes around them, creating a barrage of energy projectiles that shot towards Dantalian from all directions.
Dantalian's expression remained calm as he skillfully maneuvered through the barrage, gracefully avoiding the attacks. His golden energy shimmered like a protective shield, effortlessly deflecting the incoming projectiles.
"You'll have to do better than that; I told you, you don't even seem like a boss," Dantalian said calmly, his voice almost inaudible amidst the chaos of battle.
Zatryen's frustration grew, and he pushed himself even harder. His body glowed with an intense crimson aura, and his attacks became faster and more powerful. However, despite his efforts, he couldn't land a single blow on Dantalian.
As the battle raged on, the ground beneath them cracked and trembled with the force of their clashes. The remnants of the once-majestic theater trembled, adding a sinister backdrop to the intense confrontation.
"Ah, I'm tired... It seems there are no more tricks up your sleeve," Dantalian yawned, leaping backward and concentrating golden energy in the palm of his hand and in his legs. He took a step forward and vanished.
Appearing next to Zatryen, he slapped his face, burning his skin and causing the right side of his face to be instantly carbonized, only to heal rapidly thanks to the Krintoin energy.
"Ah, go to hell... Seriously? Even you? Hmm... Well, it makes sense. You should have been dead already," Dantalian said, creating a golden sphere in front of Zatryen's chest and snapping his fingers. The sphere began to dissolve, shooting numerous small particles at Zatryen's body, pushing him away while gradually tearing small pieces one after another, causing blood to spurt.
As sight of this unfolding, even Dantalian wondered, 'Am I going too far?... But this is fun.'
Cracking the ground beneath his feet, Dantalian leaped and flew towards Zatryen, completely enveloping his right arm in golden energy. With a swift move, he appeared above Zatryen, declaring"Come on, you need to die."
"Uhhh... Can I just bring her back..." Zatryen spoke, looking at Dantalian's expression, his face obscured by the shadow cast by the debris, revealing a true monster. ' Ahh, he's not listening... Will I at least see paradise?'Dantalian's fist struck Zatryen's face, sending him crashing to the ground with a thunderous impact, cracking the floor and causing a slight tremor around.
Far away from where Dantalian stood, in an unknown and remote area, a butterfly with one green wing and another white wing flew through an open window, finding its way into what seemed to be a simple cabin. Inside, the cozy space was illuminated by the warm glow of a crackling fireplace, casting dancing shadows on the walls. A worn wooden table stood proudly in the center of the room.
A plush armchair adorned with a soft knitted blanket was invitingly positioned in front of the fireplace, revealing the silhouette of a person with feminine features holding an open book. The woman sighed, closing the book and placing it on the armrest of the chair. "So, he's truly gone?" she asked, gazing at the butterfly as it gracefully fluttered around the room, seemingly sensing the calm and serenity within. It delicately landed on the woman's hand, and she smiled, saying, "Zatryen, I hope you find your paradise now." Her right eye sparkled, revealing the image of a crown in place of the iris.
