The Supreme God novel Chapter 11

'Did the pendant save me?' Austin took out a ring-like jade pendant from his collar and examined it thoughtfully.

He was still in trance, but he gradually calmed down and tried to recall what happened.

Rafat tried to attack him when something weird happened.

When he was about to be hit in the chest, an explosion of dazzling white light appeared. It literally saved his life from the critical strike, while severely injuring the attacker.

The only possible reason he was still alive was the pendant he was wearing.

He was still an outer disciple when he found the jade pendant. When he was sent off into the mountain for a trial, he came to face with a diabolic beast. He hunted it down to its lair where he spotted the pendant among its hoard. When he fought with the beast, he noticed that it was desperately protecting the pendant with its life.

Austin eventually killed the beast and took the jade pendant.

He initially thought that the jade pendant might have some special powers that the diabolic beast was willing to sacrifice its life to protect it. But after many nights of continuous study, he didn't find anything special, so he gave up on that thought.

But he decided to keep the jade pendant as a trophy for killing a third level diabolic beast.

After all, not all warriors at the ninth level of Energy Gathering Realm could slaughter a third level diabolic beast.

But today, the seemingly ordinary pendant turned out to be something special. It had saved Austin from the wrath of Rafat.

It could be possible that the pendant still had other potentials unknown to Austin yet.

With this thought in mind, Austin was determined to study the pendant further.

But the thought of Rafat's explosive power crossed his mind and he was overwhelmed with fear.

Blood Bath Magic was the spell that Rafat cast, and the name alone already implied the powerful effects it had.

Austin guessed that it must be a secret method that could stimulate human potential but at the expense of the caster's own life essence and vitality.

By using these special methods, one could increase their strength several times higher than their normal.

But the beneficial effects would only last for a short period of time.

The downside was that the caster would suffer other damaging effects after the methods were used.

The consumed life essence and vitality wouldn't be easily restored and for the time being, one's body would be greatly undermined.

Therefore, the methods must only be used in cases of emergency or life-threatening situations.

Given that Rafat had used one, Austin thought that he had pushed the latter to the edge.

He rubbed the tip of his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed but proud of what he did.

Despite being injured, Rafat's strength and power were still beyond any other warriors at the third level of Energy Gathering Realm.

But Austin had managed to force him into using his last resort.

He rubbed his nose again as he stared at Rafat who was lying on the floor motionless and covered in blood. Was he dead or just pretending?

Austin tiptoed towards the motionless Rafat. His footsteps were as light as a cat's paw.

He suddenly leaped forward fiercely and punched Rafat's chest three times.

Austin heard Rafat's bones cracked, but the latter remained lying on the ground motionless.

His nerves started to relax after he confirmed that Rafat was finally dead.

He overturned Rafat's body with a sidekick and spat at him.

"You know, we could've settled it through negotiation. But you insisted on fighting. Now, look what happened to you. I hope you're satisfied! I told you, never underestimate your opponent!"
