Chapter 166: Training Program-7 [Absolute Zero]
"Wow!, For a Mortal you really did a splendid job for us"
A mockery tone echoed in front of Eli's team as a group of people emerged behind the crisped monster.
"Tsk, Tsk, You sure took the Soul Crystal...ah" A black-haired boy with sharp ears said with hatefulness.
"It seems like as long as it's stationary and a Holy power would surely kill this Overlord of Dungeon....Amber, you should think about this strategy" A brown with a hint of blue-haired beauty said melodiously with a pondering expression.
"Hmm..." A white fluffy-haired beauty nodded.
While they were discussing,
Except for Eli and Luna (who finally understood and healed him as soon as possible), others frowned.
"Seems like it's not an Overlord of the Dungeon" Eli was waiting for the mechanical voice to say that cleared the dungeon, however even after a few minutes.....there was nothing, and then he realized it.
What they fought to kill was not the Overlord, 'Then, if not this, then who?... Stronger than this?' A few questions ran through his mind.
Others also realized when Eli muttered.
"Well then, Why don't you hand over it?" Amber said as her tail made a swift motion.
Zera who was frowning suddenly growled as she said emotionlessly,
"Looks like someone doesn't know their place"
"!!!"
Amber's tail turned stiff and the Fallen members' body turned stiff for a second before relaxing.
The black-haired boy or Jayvald said with courtesy, "Your Highness, I am sure you know that-"
"I know what I meant....I am just asking, do.you.think.you.take.it?" Zera interrupted him yet, her eyes solely focused on Amber so would be a little problem for her.
Jayvald's lips twitched as he was about to say when,
"Team Leader, Show them what you got" Eli suddenly shouted.
Everyone turned their focus on Eli.
"....Aren't you a team leader?" Amber asked cautiously as she frowned, 'If not him, I have to change my plan..' she thought.
"Nope, I am not" Eli answered as he pushed Alexander who had a perplexed look on his face.
"Huh?" When Alexander felt a push, he jolted and looked behind....only to see Eli smiling at him.
"At least be useful now" Eli said sarcastically to provoke.
And for some reason, Alexander always easily lost his emotions when it comes to Eli, so hearing that viens bludged on his forehead, however, 'Wait, until I fuck your sister and your wife'.
"Did you say something?" Eli asked as his eyebrows squinted.
"N-No-I mean I deal this matter" Alexander initially sweated but after confidently said.
"Hmm" Eli hummed and backed off then,
"Zera be ready, Mia and Luna take a rest, Scylla protect them if necessary"
Everyone nodded just as he instructed but there was one person who didn't accept it,
"Brother, I-I can fi-"
"Little Mia, I don't know what you did but your body currently lacks any mana and even your legs were trembling" Eli glanced at her legs before looking forward.
"...." Mia bitted her lips, she was happy that her brother still noticed her abnormalities.
'I feel like I am being protected again.....' She thought inwardly about the training she went through and how much she suffered just separating from him in order to get stronger.
With a gloomy face, she walked near to Luna who was glancing at Mia with a contemplated gaze.
Scylla stood in front of them as she created a water barrier around them and said to the gloomy Mia,
"You are strong Mia....it's just you lack stamina"
Hearing that, Mia turned even more gloomy.
Scylla added at the end,
"However, compared to before our duel, you surely improved a lot now"
"..." Mia blinked for a second before blushing in embarrassment.
Seeing that, Scylla internally laughed, 'hahhaha...I guess, I understand now why Eli was doting her too much'.
Leaving that,
Alexander said with a smile,
"Hello, Amber"
"Hi, Alex" Amber replied with the same smile.
"I wonder if you-"
'ting'
"WOH!"
'ting'
"What the..."
Before he could finish a black trident with golden tips with red and blue gems embedded in the middle shot from behind Amber's team.
'ssshhh'
However, instead of hitting anyone, it zig-zagged a few times before landing on the hand of someone.
"hmmm....I think, with a little more practice I can control my weapon at a certain distance" Eli mumbled as his emerald green pupils turned to normal.
"..." Everyone stared at Eli even, Scylla who was also thinking highly of him....didn't think he could pull off this.
'sigh, I don't know whether to be surprised more or not' She thought as her lips curved upwards.
"Damn man, it's not something unless one reaches a Perfect Domain Level or special artifact like mine" Pearl suddenly shouted as she took her blue spear from her behind and,
"I really wanted to fight against spear user, I hope you don't disappointment me"
"Pearl, wai-"
Without respecting her team leader, Pearl ran towards Eli.
'....Oh dear, I just fucked myself, didn't I?' Eli thought but simply shrugged his shoulders.
"A-Amber stop it" Alexander suddenly shouted.
"...I wish I could" Amber said defeated voice but inwardly, 'Anyhow we are already planning to defeat them so there is nothing wrong and we have to move as fast as possible for the next target otherwise remaining team might finish that'.
"I am sorry, Alex" Amber said as she disappeared, they previously planned the moment they saw Eli's team bravely fight against Emperor Scorpion.
Appeared in front of Zera who unsheathed and swung her weapon when she saw Amber disappear.
Zera's eyes never left Amber.
"..." Alexander shocked for a second,
'Thud'
A hammer slammed on the ground where Alexander stood.
"Pretty Hero, I impressed with your quick reflex" Noah Caddle, the Lion boy said as he lifted the hammer putting it on his shoulder.
"Tsk" Alexander clicked his tongue in annoyance, 'I am hoping to avoid him but it seems fate has something else'.
"Thank you for the compliment" Alexander said as he took his sword and lept towards Noah.
....
"Hey, you disgusting, Slave" Jayvald and his wolf 'friend' focused on Scylla who was protecting Luna and Mia.
"...." Scylla didn't react to his provocation.
"You leechers don't know how to speak" The wolf / Austin chimed in and cursed Jayvald before stomping on the ground while his nails elongated as a grey liquid leaked from his nails.
Scylla nonchalantly dodged the attack and sent a water bullet towards Jayvald who was trying to break her barrier.
"Fuck, what the hell are you doing dog?" Jayvald shouted as he was forced to back off.
"She dodging my every attack, you leecher" Austin rebuked as he again tried to hit Scylla however, she was simply dodged again as if she knew every attack pattern.
"Is that all you got?" Scylla asked with an indifferent voice which irked both Austin and Jayvald.
Seeing their focus on her, Scylla simply smiled and said, "You guys are even worse than 9-Star Rank beast"
Feeling they are being compared to a brainless monster....they both forget about their plan and start to attack Scylla mercilessly.
....
"You surely improved a lot, Amber" Zera said while blocking her knives that were aiming at her throat.
"Thanks for the compliment, Your Highness" Amber replied while throwing another dozens of knives at Zera's fatal point.
Zera simply deflected the incoming attack however some knife passed through her Kanata and hit her body....and blood spurted without pain.
"Hmmm...Raising of another Count, I could see clearly" Zera muttered as slapped her own cheeks and looked at the wounded place....there was nothing.
No sign of being pierced or any slight scratch.
Amber sighed inwardly and awkwardly scratched her back head then said,
"I am not worthful enough to earn praises from Her Highness"
"Oh, I am telling the truth, Amber.
Look, your illusion surely made everything real and true except for the pain....If feeling the pain, I am sure that I pretty much thought I was hurt by your fake illusionary knives" Zera answered honestly as she tried to cut Amber's nick, however, it passed through.
"Thank you, Your Highness" Amber said as she appeared behind Zera and again threw black knives.
....
'Ting'
'slash'
'Ting'
'Thrust'
'Ting'
"May I know from whom you learned to master this weapon?" Pearl asked as swung her blue spear at him.
"..." Eli didn't answer her question instead he simply blocked the attack and tried to twist the direction stab in her throat.
"Not answering?...I am just curious you know, Most people don't even keep up with my spear for 3 minutes in my rank" Pearl asked with an amusing smile and she backed to block the attack.
'Ting'
"Well, I would do the same thing, If I were to see, one member for the foe is yet to move" Pearl chuckled lightly before rotating her body to give a full diagonal swing.
Eli tightened his grip on Celestria with both hands and blocked the heavy attack.
'Ting'
When Eli blocked it, the contact point between the weapons suddenly turned ice cold as it spread to the Celestria.
"Flame Arts: 1st Form"
Eli used his technique to stop the spreading of cold and heated Celestria quickly as it turned red to fully stop the ice formation.
However, Pearl who was waiting for this opportunity as Amber planned before,
/Absolute Zero/
She muttered as the different cravings in the blue spear suddenly lit up and released white smoke as it turned colder.
Her spear turned icicles then she again rotated her body and swung at full force thinking it would break Eli's trident...
"My Spear is made of Millions of compressed Ice elements and forged in the deep underwater Volcano...Hope your's survives"
Not knowing who made it for whom....Lilith won't do half-assed work when it comes to her husband.
She presented the world's finest and strongest weapon that could grow along with users and was never used by anyone before and most importantly she named it by herself.....which cannot be considered as a weapon or artifact rather it was her love for him.
If anyone wanted to break the Celestria and Ember, they had to break the bond of their 'Transcendental Love'....that's how she would have said with a smug face if she was here.
'DDDAAANNGGGGG'
