Chapter 232 The ck Bow: Nightwalker
Marcus who was still struggling to free himself experienced a sense of dread unlike any other, it was like his body and mind told him to run away now. Marcus'' expression turned grave as, it was something out of fantasy, something he read in the record but now he was seeing it.
"....."
"Dragon Breath!"
The phantasmal casting voice entered Marcus''s ears just as his internal rm went off. He looked up and saw what Nemesis was doing.
A beam of light so tiny it wasughable came down. Although it looked insignificant, anyone who could sense the power contained within would avoid it at all costs. Wherever the beam went, it destroyed the object in its way, even the air around it wasn''t spared.
His ten eyes focused on this attack, the light beam was too quick for him to dodge. Then, the beam hit his scaly body.
Pszztt
The beam pierced Marcus and it hit the dark barrier of istion behind him. The barrier did well to contain the vicious attacks they threw at each other before, however, when the Dragon''s Breath touched the barrier, it didn''t take a second to destroy the barrier.
With the barrier gone in a rain of dark fragments, the remnants got turned into Feathers of Light that slowly fell upon the ground, even outside the barrier, raining down on the forest.
It was a devastating scene.
Luna wanted to check how Nemesis was doing but she sent her voice to reassure her.
Meanwhile, Nemesis observed the ground.
The ground riddled with holes was still fuming with smoke and dust. When a gust blew away the dust, they could see a long gully etched into thend. The drain was easily more than a hundred meters in length when it tapered off. That''s the result of the Dragon''s Breathing too close to the ground.
Nemesis narrowed her eyes when another wave of smoke and dust clouded her view, she waved her hand and a gale from an unknown origin blew the dust away. She could finally see the scene of her carnage.
A scaly figure stood wobbly there, the victim of his attack looked like it would tip over if something touched it.
Nemesis looked at the figure with scaly skin armor and she shook her head with slight remorse.
"You evaded death at thest second, huh?"
The receiver of this attack lookedpletely battered, as it was bleeding all over.
Its dark scales were dyed red by its own blood. The monster also lost a significant portion of its left torso, ordingly, it also lost an arm. The bloody stump pulsed and oozed in a disgusting manner.
Cough! Cough!
Marcus spat out blood as his bear-trap-looking fangs were dyed red with blood too. He applied pressure to his nasty wound before raising his arm to look at the damage.
With a surging pain that threatened to push the oxygen out of his lungs, Marcus painstakingly looked at his left torso, drawn by a sense of something missing. When he saw the full extent of damage dealt to him, his body shivered.
"Damn! Damn... Damn... Damn..Damn..!!!"
It was a mix of sad sob and angered yell, he raised his voice as his killing intent exploded upwards with his dark dou qi, his dirty blood also sttered around him. Like a beast on itsst legs, Marcus looked like a pitiful creature.
Marcus looked at Nemesis who was still floating above him. His bloodshot eyes zoomed in on her as dark origin swirled around him, the dark origin couldn''t reverse the damage done to him.
"Kill! I will absolutely kill you! Kill you, you hear me?!"
Spitting out blood, Marcus shrieked while Nemesis watched with furrowed brows. She nonchntly watched Marcus growl at him like a dying beast.
Knowing he stood no chance, he had to flee, Marcus growled like he was not happy with this choice either.
Turning into a dark blur of light, he flew toward the outside, drawing a trail of dark origin and blood.
The blinding sh of dark light caused the spectators to look away instinctively.
''''You think that''ll be easy?"
Nemesis scowled then she teleported into the sky and he trained his vision on the retreating dark light. Instead of using teleportation to catch the assant, she breathed in deeply.
Swoosh!
She summoned a ck bow and held it, aiming at the fleeing Marcus.
"Nightwalker."
Her gaze was like the arrow that tagged Marcus. She looked at the figure which was fast disappearing in her vision and she trained the bow''s aim on Marcus.
Then, she tugged at where the bowstring would be.
''''Hmm?"
Marcus who was running for his life suddenly felt very threatened. He slowed his pace down to turn his head and look in the direction where this ominous feeling wasing from. What he saw made his scales stand on their ends and his ugly face distort with fear.
Like a pair of wings made of ck crystals, the bow and its arrow started shining with beautiful astral light that looked like Nemesis was drawing power from the night. The bow and its breathtaking beauty outshone the surrounding darkness.
Starlight gathered and streamed into the arrow-like bees returning to their hives. With sounds that pleased the ears very much, the starlight energy charged up Nightwalker, further materializing the nocked energy arrow.
That energy arrow was made with silvery starlight and sprinkled with astral light, it was ced between his tab hand and the bow.
The bow was pointed in the direction of Marcus who continued running for his life.
Drawn in by the magnificence of the arrow and its bow, Luna couldn''t return to her senses. Nemesis who basked in astral light looked like the God of the Night who descended from her throne to strike down her foe.
Meanwhile, Marcus'' dark origin started rampaging out of control
The dark power within him sensed the iing danger.
His sweat fell along with his blood, Marcus''s heart got covered in trepidation as he immediately threw energy conservation to the wind, without caring for his wounds or energy consumption, he used every ounce of power within him to run faster. He did this so he could get himself out of the bow''s range.
"Argh!"
