The moment Ethan's thoughts turned sluggish, Assassin immediately attempted to strike Ethan with his daggers.
He wanted to end things fast.
BOOM!
But then suddenly, the mana exploded from his right side. Emily used her skill [Breath Resonance], but this time, her skill was slightly different.
Rather than just releasing a spherical shockwave without a clear direction, this time, she released a small crescent wave to Ethan's direction and distorted the Assassin's attacks.
Somehow, her wave had gained the distortion ability of the assassin!
"Tch!"
Master assassin, seeing his attack distorted, threw a look with annoyance at Emily. At this point, he thought these two were just futilely resisting.
They were already dead in his eyes.
Ethan managed to get rid of his sluggish thoughts as his mind started working properly again. He knew this was his last chance, as Emily had given him the space. The assassin was momentarily disturbed.
Utilizing his trait, he instantly channeled his mana into his spear. Lightning crackled around the spear as Ethan took his position.
[Transmeate]
Using his spear's special property, he drew the mana inside him more than he could. His skin started deteriorating as blood started dripping from his nose. His eyes were bloodshot as he even consumed his life force.
His strength far surpassed his body's limits momentarily, reaching almost the barrier of 7.
「 Spear of Hartley. Heavenly Shura」
RUMBLE!
The sky rumbled as lighting swept through Ethan. freewebnøvel.com
In an instant, Ethan struck through the master assassin with his spear.
"!"
The assassin felt alarmed, as the aura behind the strike was clearly something that could be fatal to him.
And, but then, the only thing he needed to do was to evade.
Just as he attempted to do so, suddenly, the assassin felt the gravitational force increasing over his body, a sensation he hadn't anticipated. His movements became sluggish, his agility hindered by the unexpected force acting upon him. In that split second of his movements trapped, he realized his fatal mistake.
Around him, somehow, a new type of mana had appeared, but he wasn't even aware of that!
Ethan, seizing the opportunity afforded by Emily's intervention and the momentary stop caused by the unknown force, launched himself forward with unparalleled speed and precision. His spear, crackling with lightning, surged toward the master assassin with unstoppable force.
With a gasp of realization, the assassin attempted to evade, but it was too late. The gravitational pull held him in place, leaving him vulnerable to Ethan's decisive strike.
SWOOSH! RUMBLE!
In a swift and fluid motion, Ethan's spear pierced through the assassin's defenses, driving deep into his body with relentless determination.
"RAAAA!"
STAB!
The master assassin's eyes widened in shock and agony as he felt the searing pain of Ethan's attack tearing through him.
Despite his best efforts to resist, he could do nothing to prevent the inevitable. Everything happened in a split second.
"Argh!"
With a final, guttural cry, the assassin refused to succumb to Ethan's overwhelming power, grabbing the spear stabbed in his chest.
SPURT!
He channeled his mana into his arms, enhancing his strength. And then he pulled the spear out of his chest, with blood spurting from the wound.
Ethan had already reached his limit by that time, and he was no longer able to hold his spear, making him unable to resist the Master Assassin's pull.
"You!"
The Master Assassin growled, his voice filled with hatred for the first time. The wound on his chest was not closing at all, and it was rather deep. Even though he wasn't defeated and the wound wasn't something fatal, it still hurt.
The hatred in his eyes was clear as he covered the wound with mana, making the blood stop.
Even with Ethan's strongest attack connecting, the Master Assassin had yet to fall down.
THUD!
And Ethan, who had used even the last bit of his strength and some of his life force, fell to the ground. His body was in tatters, with his veins burst open thanks to the amount of energy they needed to withstand.
Many internal injuries had accumulated, and his inner organs were not functioning.
"Burghk!"
His breathing was hoarse, and from time to time, he coughed blood. He was no longer in a condition to fight.
"Die."
The Master Assassin raised his dagger, this time clearly with the intent to finish Ethan.
–CLANK!
But just as the assassin was about to strike, a sudden burst of energy disrupted the scene. With lightning-fast reflexes, the assassin deflected a strike aimed at him with his dagger. It was a bullet of energy directed towards him with pinpoint accuracy.
Before he could comprehend what was happening, more bullets of energy began raining down upon him, each strike aimed with deadly precision.
"Tch!"
The assassin growled in frustration, realizing that he was under attack from an unknown assailant.
