Chapter 188 188: In the tunnel (2)

"Now, have a taste of your medicine!"

Without any delay, Val made a swift pushing motion with his hands, and the magical arrows shot forward.

They cut through the air with twice their original speed, creating a haunting whistling sound as they hurtled towards the ones who conjured them.

The archers grew pale and felt horrified as it seemed like death was upon them.

However, just as the arrows were about to connect with them, a group of formidable figures stepped out from behind the archers.

They looked like the Archers Of Obsidian but had sword-like hands.

These were the Swordwielders of Eclipse.

They stepped in front of the Archers of Obsidian and swung their blades with unparalleled precision, chopping apart the incoming arrows.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

One by one, they struck the incoming arrows out of the air, preventing them from hitting their intended targets. The tunnel resonated with the continuous sound of clashing metal and shattering arrows.

Val was unperturbed as he watched the spectacle unfold before him. His eyes shone with a determined and ruthless glint as he stepped towards the group of sinister beings.

"Nice skills," Val applauded, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He began clapping his hands slowly, the hollow sound echoing throughout the tunnel. "I must say, you, the enemies I must conquer if I am to improve my wizardry to the next level, have surpassed my expectations. But if that's all you've got, you're about to be disappointed real quick."

The Swordweilders smiled mockingly, "Have you boasted enough?"

Val wasn't surprised to hear them speak. Responding to the question, he smiled. Whether he was boosting or telling the truth, they would know real soon!

"I haven't even begun." Val said, "But I will reveal the rest through my action. You see, I am not a big fan of wasting my breath on corpses."



"It's rare to see a prey wandering in our backyard and cawing like a crow. I don't know how you snuck so deep into our cave without our notice, but this will be your grave. We'll have fun tearing you apart!" A sword Wielder uttered.

"We'll provide support from behind," The archers spoke.

The Swordwielders of Eclipse rushed towards Val while the Archers of Obsidians pulled back the string of their bows and when they let go, several magic arrows were released into existence. These arrows moved past the Swordwielders from between their legs and beside their necks and rushed towards Val.

"I'm afraid the only one getting torn apart today will be you," Val uttered.

With a flick of his wrist, a sword materialized in his hands. It was the famed Voidslayer, a blade renowned for its deadly capabilities and unparalleled sturdiness. n0velusb.c0M

He gently swung it a few times and the magic arrows snapped in two.

But it was all a distraction.

The Swordweilders had closed the gap between them. They brandished their sword-like hands. Val stomped his foot on the ground. He was like an agile panther as he jumped back, dodging all of their strikes and escaping their attack range.

Attempting to draw him back into their attack range, the Swordweilders of Eclipse pounced towards him.

'That's exactly what I want! They are dancing to my fingertips.'

Val thought with a stoic expression as he grasped the hilt of the sword firmly and took a deep breath before swinging it with all his might.

The swing was followed by a burst of a crimson arc. It left the blade and sped towards the enemies, leaving a streak of red in its wake. It was a sight that would inspire terror in the hearts of any onlooker.

The Swordwielders had excellent reflexes. They were ready to face this new threat the second it appeared. Although in a very comprising position that made it impossible to dodge, they raised their swords to put up a fight against the sudden attack.

"Shatter!"

As the crimson arc neared them, they shouted in unison and brought down their blades in a synchronized motion, attempting to cleave the approaching arc.

However, the crimson arc proved to be unstoppable. It sliced through their swords as if they were made of paper and continued its path.

"How can this be?"

"Impossible...."

The Swordwielders stared in disbelief, their eyes wide with shock. The sight of their mighty weapons being cleaved in two was unimaginable, a sight that shattered their confidence and struck fear into their hearts.

With shock and fear painting their faces, they were cleaved apart too by the crimson arc.

As a result, their faces twisted in a mixture of fear and disbelief, their expressions frozen as if time had stopped.

They were warriors, strong and steadfast. Yet, they were powerless against the destructive force of the crimson arc!

Val's gaze remained emotionless as the formidable sword wielders died. Not a single ripple appeared in his eyes.

The Swordwielders of Eclipse were strong, but they were too overconfident in their abilities, and that cost them dearly. If they had been more cautious and taken him more as a threat than a prey they could toy to death, the battle might have dragged on for longer. But the ending wouldn't have changed.

The deadly arc didn't stop at the Swordwielders.

It continued its path, reaching the Archers of Obsidian who stood behind the warriors.

Just like their front line, the Archers too were cleaved in two, unable to react to the swift death that had befallen them.

The Archers fell, their bodies cut in half, their eyes still wide open. They died in disbelief, unable to comprehend the swift and absolute destruction that Val had brought upon them. The deadly crimson arc had not only cut through their bodies but also shattered their spirits, leaving behind a scene of absolute devastation.

A system notification popped up in front of Val, displaying the information related to his recent fight.

[System Notification:

Enemies defeated: 5 Archers of Obsidian, 5 Swordwielders of Eclipse.

Experience gained: 3000 EXP.

Items obtained: 10 Orbs of Darkness.]

Each of the enemies he had slain had dropped an orb.

Thus, it was clear that the drop rate of the Orb of Darkness was 100%.

"This is an encouraging revelation as it means that I only need to kill 14 more variants to gather enough resources to complete the construction of my Darkness Core. I wonder what type of power I would gain from that."
