Chapter 296: Enough playing
Aren saw the attack incoming and didn’t fret; he simply used shadow form, allowing the spear to go right through his face. She was stunned for a moment, and that was all Aren needed. He very quickly closed the gap, grabbed her by her hand, and immediately hurled her towards a fence.
She slammed hard into it and fell to the ground.
In that same moment, the person that had attacked first with that blast showed himself; it was a man, tall and with a bald head, wearing body armor. There was a large black dot on his forehead.
Aren looked at that dot and instantly knew that something was up about it, and he was right, as in the next moment, the man unleashed a blast from his head, the same type that he had dodged a few minutes ago.
Aren crossed his arms while summoning his black armor and wolf guard. The attack slammed into him and threw him back; he flipped in the air and landed with both feet, skidding back for a few meters before finally coming to a stop.
The spear lady had already recovered and charged at him. She hurled her spear at him first; it tore through the air faster than a bullet. Aren charged ahead; he grabbed the spear mid-throw. It felt like it was about to rip out his arm. He gritted his teeth as he fought to bring it to a stop.
The man with the dot attacked; the blast ripped through the air. Aren used the spear to block, but before the attack hit the spear, the lady stretched out her hands and the spear forcefully rushed back to her, opening him for a blast.
It slammed into his chest and threw him back through the air. Aren rolled for a few meters before coming to a stop. He looked up and saw her coming from above with her spear stabbing down.
"Enough of this," Aren muttered as he rose to his feet very fast, rolling out of the way and evading her attack. The spear stabbed into the ground and blasted a massive hole into the ground.
Aren charged at her with a slash, and at the same time, the man attacked with a blast. Aren didn’t stop, though; he continued his attack on the lady. The spear and the sword collided; a massive shockwave ripped through the air while the blast was about to hit Aren.
He immediately summoned a Minotaur that took the attack. The Minotaur was thrown back, but it took the attack for Aren.
He turned from the lady and then unleashed a barrage of shadow blades at the man while pushing the lady to the side to create more space for him.
He watched the two with shadow sense and then slowly shifted into a low stance.
’From their age, I can tell they aren’t in the current trials, which means they were from the last one and are at least level thirty and above.
If we go all out here, there’ll for sure be a massive commotion, and people will know about me, and I’m still yet to get the gate’
Aren analyzed as fast as he could. The governor was still standing there with a wide smile and the gate in his hands. That was what Aren needed now, and then he would make his way out of here as fast as possible.
With that in mind, he unleashed his domain instantly. It spread fast and covered all of them, including the governor, and then immediately he dashed at the governor, moving as fast as he could inside the domain while using tendrils to latch onto the governor and pulling close fast.
The governor could not fight back with how fast and well-executed it was. Aren got to him and immediately snatched the device from his hands and disabled the domain before summoning a wyvern and getting on it, taking off into the air.
All three of them down on the ground were stunned when they saw him up in the air. The governor frowned deeply; the rage in his eyes shone.
"Get him, kill him NOW!" he barked in anger.
The lady with the spear tossed her spear into the air and leaped onto it before flying after Aren on it like a skateboard, while at the same time the man started unleashing wild shots at Aren.
’Tch, they are relentless,’ Aren turned midair and then unleashed a blast from the wyvern at the lady. She pulled out another spear and spun it like a vortex; the blast slammed into it and was unable to hit her. But at that same time, Aren had already leaped off the wyvern. He pulled his arms back and then unleashed a massive wave of shadow attacks.
"Let’s see how you take this," he yelled as the attack ripped through the air. She saw the incoming attack and tried to block it all, but the range of attacks was too much as some cut into her and knocked her off her spear. She fell towards the ground while bleeding, but then she hurled her spear at Aren.
Aren crossed his arms to block the attack, but the spear suddenly turned liquid and moved around Aren, wrapping around him tight and restricting all his movements.
"Take the shot now, take him out," she yelled at the top of her voice. The man on the ground nodded and immediately unleashed his strongest blast yet. The attack slammed into Aren; he was thrown through the air after the explosion. He slammed hard into the ground.
BAM!
"Arghhh, enough," Aren said as he rose to his feet. He gripped the sword tight and then entered a low stance, ready to blast forward. He wasn’t going to summon a shadow for them; no, he was taking them out and moving past here fast. The more time that he wasted, the higher the risks got, and he could end this faster, but his ego refused for him to use other methods.
