Chapter 72: The Final Battle 6
Nothing made sense, yet Raiden was forced to deal with them anyway.
Pope stood before him, trembling as he tried to flee, knowing his little charade was finished. The sight of him acting this way only made Raiden’s blood boil with excitement.
Pope might be pathetic, but he could still teleport a meter away, and that was obvious. Still, knowing she could defeat him, Raiden was going to get him regardless.
The moment Pope turned and started running, Raiden went invisible and ran after him. But Pope kept teleporting back while he ran, snapping his fingers repeatedly.
Raiden gritted his teeth in irritation as he wondered what to do. That’s when it hit him—Pope had stopped teleporting and was almost emerging into the crowd. His eyes widened as he realized there was a limit and Pope couldn’t teleport over long distances. Worse, his snaps were now teleporting random people in the crowd.
In that instant, Raiden knew exactly what to do. He dropped his invisibility and charged into the field on his right to intercept Pope through that route.
He bypassed Alora, who had already beaten her opponent to a pulp. She had a hand on his head, reading his mind before he could finally take his last breath.
Still, Raiden was so focused on catching Pope that he didn’t spare them a glance. He maneuvered through the battlefield, killing anyone in his way, even striking down a knight who was his ally. He wanted Pope, and everyone else was just an obstacle.
Before long, he reached the forest’s edge and immediately activated Gaze Beyond as he searched through the trees, his heart pounding because he couldn’t bear to lose him.
His fists clenched tightly as he scanned the area. He had never been this eager to kill someone before. He needed to pour all his frustrations into this.
The moment he spotted Pope, his eyes widened with satisfaction. He needed to approach unnoticed, so he reactivated his invisibility and dashed through the forest.
