Chapter 235: Invincible Talent


    ?


    Awoo!


    Sirius'' light howl made Asher turn his head toward his wolf. It just appeared at the beginning of the hallway, walking toward him, but its eyes were fixed on the door.


    Or behind the door... to be more precise.


    Asher turned his head to look at the door.


    What in the world was going on in there?


    Why was there the scent of blood in the scared hall of all ces when the executioner, Sirius, hadn''t killed anyone?


    Filled with questions, Asher began to push the great doors. Just halfway through, he found a woman sitting on his throne with crossed legs.


    ck sleeveless gown that had a slit revealing her legs, ck lip gloss, ck unusually long fingers, pale skin, and cold, almost emotionless ocean blue eyes.


    "Wee, Lord Asher."


    Asher could sense she tried to make things humorous but failed miserably because of theck of emotions.


    All he felt was a diforting chilling from her.


    Without opening the door entirely, Asher walked in, and that was when he saw Alex impaled to the wall by two daggers.


    The bodies of his King Swordsmen littered the ground. All of them were killed in one move!


    He could see some signs of battle between her and Alex.


    This woman...


    Even while she sat before him, she felt unreal.


    His senses were telling him this woman wasn''t real, but he could see her sitting right before him!


    "Usually, none of your senses would work on me, but I wanted to enjoy the thrill of you looking into my eyes as I take your life."


    ck Rose said softly, her lips curling into a simple smile.


    At this moment, Sirius walked through the door and stood behind Asher. ck Rose merely smiled at the wolf, which was a head taller than Asher.


    Although the beast looked intimidating, it was no more than a big target before her eyes.


    ck Rose turned to Alex. "This one is something. No one informed me of him or what he is."


    She chucked, looking at Alex''s wings, which were on another part of the hall,pletely severed from the Bloodde.


    This was the first time Asher had seen someone defeat Alex.


    His eyes narrowed. For her to sneak into Ashkelon without him or any other Ashbourne powerhouse getting a whiff of her powerful battle force, she must either be more powerful, or an assassin, or have a talent that hid her force.


    "You''re strangely calm. Let me remind you that I have in more than these few. I''ve also killed the remainder of your guards, servants, and officials. Every breathing thing in this manor is dead. And of course you couldn''t have noticed when I bought this scared-ranked self-controlled illusion spell scroll."


    ck Rose revealed a yellow paper burning with purple mes. She crushed it, and a violet light burst out.


    In the next moment, Asher could perceive the stenching from every part of the manor. It was extremely thick, yet his expression remained the same.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    However, on a closer look, ck Rose noticed Asher''s head was shaking, and so were his


    arms.


    "So... I finally made you angry. That''s good. I wouldn''t have killed so many if your sister was around. I mean, lots of lives could have been saved."


    She smiled, a little bit more brightly.


    Asher silently reached out for Euodias.


    ck Rose''s eyes followed his actions to the sword. "Is that the sword that took off de Nubis'' head?"


    Shing!


    Blue light filled with great, piercing energy flickered as he drew the sword out of the sheath.


    It crackled with a bit of lightning.


    "I have one question. Who sent you?"


    ck Rose rose up. "A man who could squash a bug like you."


    "I see. Sirius, lend me your strength."


    The moment Asher said that, his eyes lit up in mes, and his shoulder-length gray hair became mes and billowed upwards.


    His eyebrows also became mes! mes coated Euodias while Asher''s clothes burnt off. The temperature of the room skyrocketed, and ck Rose licked her lips.


    Swish!


    She vanished; in the next moment, Asher sensed a spike, but when he sensed it, the spike was already through his thigh!


    "Ah-!"


    He bit his lips to stop himself from screaming. Seeing Asher''s state, Sirius lunged forth, breathing mes at ck Rose.


    ck Rose leaped to the other side, and all of a sudden, Sirius couldn''t see her nor sense her! rmed, it suddenly reduced its size to the minimum, causing ck Rose''s spike to miss.


    Her eyes widened.


    All of a sudden, she looked back only to see Asher, bathing in mes, swinging his sword down, aiming to cleave her apart.


    She chuckled, and ck bone spikes came out of her wrists. She shot the spikes.


    Asher sted mes from his left leg, forcing his body to the other side, narrowly evading the


    spikes.


    Looking down, he could see ck veins spreading outward on his thigh. It was poison!


    The spikes were poisonous.


    "Let me inform you, boy, my poison can''t be treated. You were as gone as gone from the first


    hit!"


    ck Rose chucked and vanished from Asher''s senses. The next moment she appeared behind


    him, but Sirius lunged toward her.


    Clenching her teeth, she vanished.


    ''In order to attack, she reveals herself. It seems her supposed invincible talent has a fatal


    w.''


    Asher''s mes burned up his blood so he couldn''t even see it, which was why his talent didn''t


    activate.


    However, after learning Synergy, Asher felt he had no need for his talent to deal with ck


    Rose.


    Just after this thought, ck Rose plunged a spike into Sirius'' hind thigh, pulled it out, and cut its abdomen, but to her shock, the wounds healed up.


    Greater mastery of Synergy did not only give the master of the bond the beast''s elemental powers; it could also give the beast the master''s battle skill!


    ''How annoying.''


    ck Rose clenched her teeth andunched several spikes without stopping. Both Asher and Sirius opened their mouths, and an orange light appeared in the depths.
