Chapter 121.1, The Mirage King (8)
Chills ran down my spine and I blacked out for a moment. That single blow was just like God’s judgment. The released enormous light passed right by me. Its destination was — the floor. Or to be more precise, it was the direction where the power of death was abundant. The concentrated light silently pierced through the sturdy stone pavement and evaporated it.
It was undoubtedly the strongest attack I had seen from Senri until now. The light made a deep crack in the floor. It probably penetrated all the way to the underground Labyrinth. That cross-section was so smooth, it was hard to imagine how much blessing had to be converted to cause this kind of destruction.
Even powerful combat magic wouldn’t be able to do this. It didn’t even graze me, but my body is a little numb from the aftershock. If it was me when I had just become Lesser Vampire, I might have suffered great injuries just from the aftermath alone. Even now, when I have accumulated enough power to rival the Demon Kings, it would be hard to withstand a direct hit upfront.
The old castle vibrated significantly louder. Cracks ran around the traces of destruction and spread in the blink of an eye. I hurriedly controlled my power, as my legs were on the verge of being dragged in.
The sensation of my bones and my flesh shrinking is unique no matter how many times I experience it. Pain is making my vision blink, but I can’t afford to worry about how I look.
I somehow managed to return to my original form. The world becomes wider at once. I stretch my hand and put my body out of destruction’s way.
Ignore the pain. The battle isn’t over yet. First.., I recover my balance.
The ceiling fell and the floor, the thick walls collapsed, swallowed by the cracks in the ground. It’s true that the destructive power of Senri’s Photon Delete was tremendous, but this amount of destruction from a single attack is abnormal. Did she perhaps destroy the foundation? Was it already at its limit due to aging? Or perhaps it was made that way in the first place?
But I don’t have time to think. I shout at Senri, who’s supported by Lufry and Neville at the entrance and somehow enduring the shaking.
