Nightmare's Call

Chapter 371: Skirmish: Part 3

The mist started to slowly roil as it got thicker and thicker.

Yet Tenko Kasumi was seemingly unaffected as she walked straight towards the exits in great strides. It was not only her, but even the people behind her were also unaffected as if they were protected by something.

After killing Olba and the rest, all of them had were on the same boat now, and no one could escape. So even if their numbers and lessened, their overall combat ability had gotten stronger.

Soon, they had traversed across a great distance and were closing in on the city’s exit. Something inside the mist could not hold back any longer.

A series of thin shadows with red eyes approached from all directions using the mist as a cover towards the team.

On the other side, a dark figure on a large horse were silently approaching from the front while a massive figure standing at two meters all, with the built of a strong bull approached from the back.

All of them held heavy weapons as they slowly closed the distance.

Badummpp.

Suddenly a garbage can by the side of the street rattled, as it was blown over the wind.

Tenko Kasumi lifted her hand and stopped. Following her, the entire team stopped as well. Two figures, one tall one short had appeared on the right of the team without them noticing.

It was an odd team of one old and one young man.

Any person who had appeared out of nowhere in this thick, roiling mist could be taken for a monster, obvious or otherwise.

And the two person had already slowly walked to the front and blocked the team’s path.

On a tall building by a corner, the noble lady, the dark figure on the horse, and the massive figure all stood upon the roof and looked downwards.

“Since when did that two appeared?” The noble lady frowned as she looked down.

“Who knows, they may very well have been hiding there since the beginning.” The horse riding figure said.

“Then they must be quite something, to be able to avoid my full-spectrum surveillance.” The noble lady said with a chilly tone.

She had been using this full-spectrum surveillance ability to escape the hands of a six-wing elite, and for these two totally avoid detection, there was little doubt of their capabilities.

“Another two. Forget it, we cannot wait any longer. Kill them as well. Time is almost up.” The rider urged.

“Agreed.” The third massive figure concurred. “Alright, that old man is about to act against the girl in the front.”

The two quickly looked over as they heard that. The elder expectedly raised his hand, as a small black knife appeared in his palm out of nowhere.

He opened his mouth as if was saying something. The red-haired girl too were speaking in reply. After a short conversation, negotiations seemed to have broken down and the two were about to fight.

“Heheh, that two sure are brave. They actually dared to fight without knowing what’s around them. Having a death wish I say.” The noble lady on the roof jeered.

“Fight, fight. When both of you are down for the count, it’ll be easier for us to clean all of you up.”

At that moment, the elder and the red-haired woman walked slowly towards one another as they picked up pace and clashed against each other.

The small black blade and the silver great sword clashed against each other and bit into each other into a stalemate.

The rider figure on the roof shook his head.

“This level of exchange, are they playing ga....”

BOOOOOMMM!!!

A sudden bang later, an azure ring blasted out from the location they were crossing swords.

Every place the ring passed through were frozen solid.

The three standing on the roof did not even manage to reach as a powerful arctic gale with edged frost crashed against their face. Their clothes and hair were violently tugged backwards by the gale, but even the chilly air did little to calm their horror.

WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON!!

The sudden gale had totally changed the weather in the area in a blink of an eye. Before the azure ring could get any further, countless of grey vines surged out with the elder as the nexus against the storm.

BAAAMMM!!

A lightning struck overhead and lit up the battlefield.

The three then saw something they would never forget.

Above the red-haired lady and the mysterious elder, were massive and blurry titanic shadows.

If not for the lightning, they would not be able to see the two shadows. On one was a giant withered cyclopean tree. Facing it was a mystical giant made out of ice and snow.

The two massive titans were striking at each other in an enraged frenzy as they let out a voiceless roar.

The moment the roar blasted out, the mist around them slowly thinned out, revealing the monsters inside the mist.

What shocked the three was that all of their monsters had been frozen into literal ice sculptures without them noticing.

As the vines and storm clashed, all of the ice sculptures around them were crushed by the writhing vines without any resistance.

CLANG!!!

Tenko Kasumi easily swatted the elder’s blade aside, as her figure blurred, and the great sword in her hand suddenly became five, and struck down at the same time.

What surprised her was that the elder could keep up with her. The black blade did not split into multiples, but instead parried each and every strike with extreme agility.

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!!

As the blades met, sparks flew.

“Not bad, not bad!” She felt slightly excited.

She had never expected to run into someone who could stand up against her in this age after her resurrection.

Five great swords floated by her side, and struck madly at the elder as if there were five of her. These were not illusions, but five solid great swords.

She did not know what a Palatinate was, and while Lin Sheng had given her the knowledge, it was pointless. Strength is only known when blades are crossed, and before that, she cared not if someone was a Palatinate or not.

The two clashed violently as the sounds of metals clashing rang out like rain upon a zinc roof.

Tenko Kasumi had endeavored to suppress her strength and technique to the level of her opponent, but even so, the elder was almost at his limits.

“EVIL EYE!!”

The elder’s aura suddenly shuddered as he forcibly retracted his aura, pushing Kasumi back. At the same instant, a blood-red eye opened up in the middle of the giant tree.

SCREEEE!!!

A rainbow-colored beam shot out of the cyclopean eye towards Kasumi.

And the same time, Kasumi’s body was quickly turning into a tree from the leg up.

“Ah, that’s why I hate you guys who had to resort to dirty tricks in a fair fight...” Kasumi looked at her body that was rapidly turning into a tree, as frustration appeared on her face.

She was not a Palatinate, and did not have the ability to step into the Eventide to gain a special ability like one.

SHWANG!

She suddenly raised her great sword, as countless of dark red magical runes appeared on it.

Even without any special abilities, she still had her ultimate skill.

Lin Sheng saw the familiar stance, and knew shit was going to hit the fan and quickly turned around as he pulled Shafreddy and Laylee away.

“ATOMIC BLIZZARD, SIXTH STANCE!”

Tenko Kasumi’s hair suddenly grow long as her crimson light appeared in her eyes as the edge of her mouth seemed like it was torn apart by a saw.

The icy gale soon formed into a vortex around her sword. She then swung it in a downward arc, as her maniacal laughter rang out in the storm.
