Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287 67.4 - Bury

There was once a theory on earth.

A theory about a specific type of force.

It was a theory that was widely discussed by many different scientists in the world, yet the most prominent thing about it was the existence of a movie.

Its existence is in a movie that was directed by one of the best, maybe the best, directors in this world.

An undoubted genius in the film sector.

In that theory, it was displayed that gravity was the force that could pass through space and dimensions.

Was that true?

It seemed that was the case.

"You think this changes anything, insect?" Belthazor spoke, his voice a mix of pain and resentment. "I will kill you, and I won't ever forget what happened here."

His words seemed to contain a deep hatred, yet he still seemed to think he could get away from here.

Still, in this position, he seemed to think he had the leverage to speak to me like that. That was his main mistake….The reason why he was bound to be inferior forever.

His arrogance will always blind him, and that will be the case.

He still can't understand who is the hunter here and who is the prey. He still thinks he is in a favorable position, but he still can't understand it at all.

Despite all the facts before him, he still dared to smirk in arrogance, proclaiming, "Next time, when I regain my full power, I'll make sure to finish what we started. You won't escape then."

–WARP!

And following that, he tried to use his teleportation, distorting the space once again and appearing in a far away place.

Yet, just as he initiated the teleportation, something unexpected happened. Something unexpected for him but expected for me.

–Umbralith

I called upon the final form of [Celestalith], and in an instant, the celestial weapon transformed into Umbralith, my fingers now filled with the rings.

I could feel the unstable energy in my hand, directly focused on right above my palm, forming a sphere.

A surge of dark energy emanated from the sphere, and the gravitational force around me intensified.

Yet, I knew that wouldn't be enough. Belthazor was now in a faraway place, which meant a specific connection was needed.

And I could do it right here. After all, this was my initial plan from the start. Even though he teleported far away, I could now see where he was.

Where he stood, what he was doing.

Everything was right before my eyes. That was thanks to the green tendrils connecting me to him.

The Green form of [Celestalith] always let me see the targets I had once marked. Yet, right now, the moment after I had woken up, I instinctively knew a way to specifically control those marks.

Seemingly, something inside me had changed, though I hadn't had the opportunity to check it back.

Utilizing those tendrils, I connected the gravitational field to him.

Belthazor, still mid-teleportation and unaware of the changed circumstances, found himself ensnared by a gravitational pull.

With a focused intent, I manipulated the gravity field around him, using Umbralith's power to its fullest. The distorted space resisted his attempt to escape, and he was forcibly pulled back from his intended destination.

–WRRRR!

"What?"

The demon let out a surprised roar as the gravitational force took hold, making him unable to escape my grasp.

–THUD!

He had fallen to the ground, seemingly unable to move from where he was at all.

"No matter how many dimensions you try to traverse, you won't escape," I declared, my smirk widening. Belthazor, on the ground and seemingly unable to move, looked at me with widened eyes, a mix of surprise and despair.

"Impossible!" he roared, his voice echoing through the cavern. With a desperate attempt, he tried to initiate his teleportation once again, distorting the space around him.

Yet, just as he initiated the teleportation, the gravitational force linked to the green marks connected to Umbralith acted like an unbreakable tether. Belthazor was pulled back once more, violently crashing to the ground.

–THUD!

His struggles became evident, but the force that held him was unyielding. His pathetic head slowly started realizing what was in front of him.

The demon's eyes widened in despair as he realized the futility of his attempts to escape. Even if his ego didn't want to escape, the inferior demonic heart inside him realized.

His instincts were probably screaming at him to leave, screaming at him to do something about this situation.

Yet, his inferior mind will not be able to think anything. This is his fate. The fate awaiting him, the fate awaiting every one of his kin. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

TAP! TAP! TAP!

I slowly approached Belthazor with a predatory stride, no longer being able to contain the laughter trying to escape.

The gravitational force linked to Umbralith's power kept him firmly anchored to the ground, thwarting his attempts to escape.

"How does it feel, Belthazor?" I taunted, my voice dripping with malice. "How does it feel to be trapped, to be unable to leave where you are? To see all the ways for you to escape blocked?"
