Chapter 570: 570
Even though their thirst for knowledge burned bright, Lith and Solus knew better than meaninglessly rush forward . Lith expanded the silence zone to not be interrupted by the city guards and unleashed a volley of lightning bolts .
Even Full Guard was useless if its user wasn't fast enough to react to the information it provided . Kieran cursed as his body went into a seizure . The blade stuck in his body was a perfect conductor, allowing the lighting to bypass the armor's defensive barrier .
Darkness fusion prevented him from feeling pain, but the electrical current still triggered his active motor neurons . Having the opponent lost his mobility, Lith pushed the Reaver through Kieran's body until its hilt struck his chest .
With a pierced lung and the venom flooding the assassin's blood system, Lith was almost sure to have absolute control over his enemy .
'Too bad that almost is never enough . ' He thought .
'At least now he can't use Invigoration . I could question him, but if the scimitar guy is around, he will have all the time he needs to cast his best spells, if not even an array . Time to find out if we are alone or not . '
"Time to die, human . You shouldn't have messed with my turf . " Lith's voice in his hybrid form was a low grumble, as if the words were half spoken and half roared, making it unrecognizable .
The rapier went straight for Kieran's heart, forcing Deraniel's hand . The man from the Blood Desert had no choice but to open the Warp Steps he had at the ready while unsheathing his sword .
It cost him the array he had been preparing from the moment the ambush started .
Another of the strong points of the surveillance mirror was the possibility to project arrays from a greater distance than it was normally possible, making it a perfect tool for Awakened working as a team .
'That idiot! Not only did he get his ass handed to him before I could finish my spell, but he also managed to anger an Emperor Beast . Fucking animals, they are almost as annoying as Keiran . ' Deraniel thought .
'Behind you!' Solus warned Lith as her mana sense detected the opening of the dimensional corridor . It was too far for Lith to stab the opponent before he could react, so Lith feigned ignorance until the last moment .
Only then did he dodge the attack by rolling to the side while using spirit magic to toss the helpless assassin against his companion .
"Fuck!" Deraniel said, unable to express how frustrated he was . He had only two choices: to Blink away and be at the enemy's mercy or kill Kieran with his own hands .
Dimensional magic was the only way he had to alter the path of his blade, but Lith took the choice out of his hands by hurling a stream of Origin Flames against the two Awakened who were about to collide .
Deraniel cursed again, Blinking both him and his companion in opposite directions . He didn't do it to protect Kieran, so much as to create two exit points at once . He gambled on his luck, hoping the Emperor Beast would follow the wrong Blink .
Lith activated the spirit magic variation he had learned while in Zolgrish's lab .
"Demons of Darkness!" He shouted despite being deeply ashamed of his current persona . Talking like an evil overlord made him cringe to the bone .
He injected his pure mana inside his shadow and then he expanded it like a black sun . Blink had an area of effect much smaller than spirit magic so both Awakened were still within his grasp .
