Chapter 103: [Overdrive] (2)


    "[Overdrive]."


    The transformation was immediate.


    Blue''s blue eyes turned deep, and his aura changedpletely, turning profound and vast, with a feeling of domination.


    However, that was just the start.


    The next instant, Leto turned into metallic sand that wrapped around Bloed and transformed into a silvery-blue armor!


    The armor superposed over Tito''s armor. It made it even more beautiful than before and domineering than before, with blue electric lines cursing through the armor and expanding to the surroundings.


    Besides Bloed''s head, his entire body was covered by the armor.


    It was [Eitr], the hero''s armor!


    But that was not everything. Next, another part of the metallic sand wrapped Bloed''s saber and turned it into a two-meters-long squarishnce. Thence shone with an ominous blue light that seemed to tear space itself and rested in Bloed''s right hand peacefully.


    [Gungnir], the god-killing spear!


    Lastly, the remaining metallic sand dispersed around Bloed like satellites orbiting a sun, and created a bubble-like barrier protecting him!


    [Svalinn], the shield protecting the brave!


    Instantly, a powerful aura erupted from Bloed''s body. His psychic energy surged out and pressured all the monsters nearby, and his body hovered overbearingly in the air!


    Everybody, from the monsters to the humans, felt the change. Liu Ying opened her eyes wide, Regina smiled in pride, and the honey-haired girl sleeping far away muttered ''the hero''.


    Even the two demigods fighting far away changed their expressions. Both of them turned towards the city with expressions of shock and astonishment!


    *Screech!!!* The ck creature cried in fear. Its instincts warned it that whatever the thing floating was, it was a threat to its life.


    So, without hesitation, it ordered its most powerful monsters to attack!


    Bloed took a deep breath. His body felt strong, and his mind felt freer. It was as though he had been living in a cage before and now he was released.


    But he did not drown in the feeling of power. He knew that his time was limited, and he needed to end everything quickly.


    Thus, he raised [Gungnir] and aimed at one of the A-Rank monsters.


    "Begone." He ordered.


    Following his voice, his right hand pressed a trigger, and his ESP ability was activated.


    Then, the A-Rank monster shivered.


    And half of its body turned into ashes.


    "Ten." Bloed whispered softly and aimed again.


    Silently, he pressed the trigger once, twice, and thrice.


    Two B-Rank monsters werepletely eradicated, and a Mammut-like A-Rank monster lost its head.


    Nine.


    A group of B-Rank monsters roared in anger and fear. They rushed towards Bloed crazily to tear its limbs apart.


    But each time they touched the bubble around him, their bodies twitched briefly, before being disintegrated into dust.


    Meanwhile, Bloed pressed the trigger another four times, killing two A-Rank monsters and another two monsters nearby.


    Eight.


    The ck creature realized how grave the situation was. It screeched in panic while ordering its army of monsters to kill the threat.


    But they only rushed towards their deaths. Meanwhile, another A-Rank monster was killed.


    Seven.


    The A-Rank worm surged out of the ground. It opened its teeth-filled mouth to devour the floating enemy whole, but when its head touched the bubble, it suddenly stiffened. Then, its mouth and half of its body simply dissapeared.


    Six.


    Bloed aimed [Gungnir] towards a wolf-like monster in a wall. The wolf seemed to feel the danger and jumped away to escape the attack, but half of its body was still caught, disappearingpletely while blood and guts spurted out crazily.


    Five.


    The ck creature panickedpletely. It extended its tentacles and controlled a flying monster to attack Bloed, but the next second, it jumped away in panic.


    Just an instantter, the ce where the ck creature had been turned into dust.


    Another A-Rank monster died.


    Four.


    Bloed frowned. He once more aimed at the ck creature, but tens of creatures rushed in front of it and blocked Bloed''s field of vision. Bloed snorted and pressed the trigger five times, killing another A-Rank and four other monsters.


    Three.


    While the monsters rushed crazily towards Bloed, Bloed continued pressing the trigger. He tried to kill the ck creature, but it hid behind other monsters while controlling them to block Bloed''s sight, so he could not lock-on the creature.


    Two.


    Bloed clicked his tongue. Aware that he was unable to kill the ck creature, he focused on the remaining A-Rank monsters, killing another one.


    One.


    In thest second, Bloed searched for thest A-Rank monster, a vulture-like beast with bloodshot eyes and grayish feathers.


    Without hesitation, he pressed the trigger onest time.


    Then, a powerful headache attacked Bloed.


    And he cked out.


    Regina moved instantly. As soon as the armor surrounding Bloed dissipated, she jumped towards him and held his body on her arms.


    Then, she looked at the ck creature that was trying to escape with a sneer.


    "Stop right there!"


    As her voice sounded, tens of energy spears appeared behind her. The energy spears shivered briefly before being shot towards the ck creature!


    In an instant, tens of monsters were killed. The ck creature tried to run away using the same strategy from before, but Regina just sneered and controlled the spears with her mind!


    One secondter, a spear nailed it to the ground.


    *Screeech!*


    The creature screamed in pain, but another spear pierced its belly and shut it up.


    Followed by another spear.


    And another.


    And another.


    Finally, the creature twitched and stopped moving.


    Regina narrowed her eyes. With a thought, the spears turned into an energy sphere that encapsted the monster.


    Then, the sphere flew towards her and was sent into one of the space stones on her wrist together with Tito and Leto''s metallic sand.


    Finally, she looked at the paralyzed monsters around her and snorted, releasing her psychic energy in the form of a powerful pressure.


    "Scram!"


    Immediately, all the monsters surrounding them dispersed in fear.


    Regina snorted. She looked at Bloed''s unconscious body on her hands and her lips curved into a soft smile.


    She could feel hundreds of gazes on them filled with astonishment, respect, and fear. Bloed''s show of power had inevitably attracted the attention of many people that had felt his surge in strength.


    Thinking about the awestruck gazes from the people around, Regina felt a surge of pride in her heart.


    He was her master!


    The person she had sworn her life to!


    Finally, she looked at the city lord with an indifferent gaze and snorted.


    ''You are lucky there are many gazes on us.''


    But he was not going to be lucky for long.


    Then, she turned towards Liu Ying.


    "Let''s go, our task here is done."


    Liu Ying nodded absentmindedly and followed after the silver-haired girl with Sara on her back.


    Half an hourter, Sebastian returned to the city.


    Twelve hourster, the monsters were finally exterminated.


    That day, more than fifteen thousand people died during the monster wave.


    The tragedy of that day waster known as Calice City''s nightmare, and it was considered the first signal of the chaos that spread to the entire continent.


    ...


    Next, we enter to the epilogue of this arc...
