An Extra's POV

Chapter 470 Sebas Vs Jet And Lux [Pt 3]

While Jet was preparing his resolve, the confrontation between Sebas—or rather, Adonis—and his other enemy, had taken a heated turn.

Despite Adonis trying to march forward, he felt something blocking him.

'A Blank Wall, huh?' It was a high-level Wind Spell that essentially created an impenetrable barrier between them and the target.

This barrier was an invisible veil, undetectable by the eyes, and no matter how fast and strong a person moved, the inertia and friction that the barrier generated, due to an opposing clash, would stop you dead in your tracks.

Lux was, in simple terms, blocking Adonis' access to her, and the thing behind her.

"Incredible defense. But it has one fatal weakness." Adonis smiled, his eyes glowing with golden vigor as two brilliant blades of light suddenly flashed behind Lux.

"It doesn't prevent the activation of Magic beyond the reach of its range."

Activating Spells that operated far from a Magic Caster was difficult, since it required an incredible amount of Mana as well as great skill to manage said Mana.

And so, it came as a surprise—not just to Lux, but to the entire group of Adventurers watching—that Adonis managed to pull it off.

… All without chanting a single Spell!

~FWUSH!~

The twin blades charged towards Lux, and she swiftly moved, using her Wind Magic to slice through the constructs, shattering them into pieces.

However…

'Another weakness of Blank Wall is that it requires immense concentration!' Adonis' eyes flashed as he charged at Jet.

'I should swiftly finish him off before dealing with the other.'

Adonis didn't know why Jet wasn't using his full power, even after being exposed. Even if he still wanted to preserve his identity, no Dragon would subject themselves to such disgrace from a human.

At least… not willingly.

'He must have exhausted a lot of his energy during the Mass Teleportation and also shifting the Zones.' After deliberating on things for so long, that was the conclusion that Adonis came up with.

That meant, at this particular moment, Jet was incredibly vulnerable.

'I'll end it fast!'

~WHUUSH!~

Before Adonis could reach the lone Adventurer, an incredible wave of wind charged towards him, forming concrete chain constructs that held him in all parts of his body.

'Tch!' He clicked his tongue as he felt the constraints wrap around his neck as well.

"I warned you… that you'd die if you stepped forward." Lux' eyes seemed completely bloodthirsty, and that instantly triggered something within Adonis.

—An instinct he had been suppressing for the sake of pragmatism.

"Me? Die?!"

~VWUUUUUMM!~

An intense surge of golden power poured out of him, instantly ripping apart the Wind Constraints that held him down.

"Don't make me laugh!"

Adonis yelled, instantly causing the space around him to tremble.

'I've had enough of these two…' His thoughts trailed as he turned away from Jet and set his eyes on Lux.

'It doesn't matter the order.' Adonis' scary eyes showed only one thing.

—The desire to kill.

'Most of her power must be going towards the barrier she's using to keep everyone hostage, as I don't sense much power from her.'

In terms of priority, perhaps it was better to deal with Lux first.

At the very least, she wouldn't be able to use the people as leverage. Adonis still had no idea why she was yet to pull out that card, but that didn't matter at the moment.

What mattered was…

~WHOOSH!~

… Slaying these Dragons!

In an instant, faster than even Lux seemed to be able to keep up with, Adonis appeared before Lux, swinging his light-coated blade towards her neck.

A few more inches, and he could make contact and slice her head off.

But—

~CLANG!~

—A second blade appeared, instantly blocking the slash that would have ended Lux's life.

The blade seemed to come out of nowhere, and it had no one wielding it, which greatly puzzled Adonis.

Before he could fully react to the situation, and deal with the recoil, he felt a powerful blast of wind push him back.

~WHOOM!~

His body helplessly flew far from Lux, but he hardly felt any damage.

Further confusion filled Adonis' thoughts at that moment. Why did Lux, despite having him in range, use such an attack with hardly any destructive power?

'H-huh…?' All of sudden, he felt power building up right behind him.

It was at that moment that he realized the direction that he was sent to. It wasn't random, and it wasn't arbitrary.

Lux had pushed him away from her and towards her partner.

The result…

~BOOOOOOOOOM!~

… Was fatal!

Adonis felt pain—true, raw pain—sear through his body.

This was the first time in very long that he felt this sort of agony, and it struck him right at his back.

"Guh!" He spat out saliva as his eyes turned white for a moment.

The force of the hit caused his body to helplessly flip forward. The light that surrounded his body—acting as both an offensive and defensive coat—shattered almost instantly.

He felt disoriented for a moment, down to the point of confusion.

'H-he's… stronger?!' Before Adonis could conclude this thought, or fully understand what it meant, he felt another wind bombardment.

This time, it was a flurry of attacks targeting multiple parts of his body, specifically his limbs.

"G-gaahh!"

In that moment, the blade that appeared to protect Lux floated away, in the direction that Adonis was just coming from.

~VWUUSH!~

A powerful surge of energy suddenly manifested behind him.

"Chaos Judgment!"

Jet's voice peaked, and following that declaration was the descent of his brandished blade and the destructive energy that followed.

~BOOOOOOOOOM!!!~

The entire area was engulfed in the spectacle and devastation that the brilliant burst offered.

In that moment, Lux and Jet regrouped, and Adonis alone was at the center of the eruption. He suffered the hit from point-

blank range, feeling his body take more damage than he could have ever imagined.

These two, Jet and Lux, just like him… had been hiding their strength all along!

[A/N]

Thanks for reading!

Just for clarification, Adonis knew they were hiding their strength from the humans, but he later thought they were weakened and so he could beat them with relatively more ease.

Their last attacks showed he was wrong.
