Chapter 102: Repelled Again and Again, the Name of a Prodigy

Abby and the others shuddered when they heard the name Borm.

In the next instant, realization struck them. They halted in the distance instead of continuing to flee.

"Could it be... he’s Raine?!"

"Raine? That prodigy from the patrol!"

When Maurice heard the name Borm, and then connected it with the opponent’s rank, a certain rumor instantly surfaced in his mind—the tale of a man who had single-handedly breached Crimson City.

"Raine?!"

A human prodigy cried out in shock.

"It has to be him!"

Abby and the others’ pupils shrank violently, excitement surging through them.

A newcomer to the battlefield who had turned the tide against impossible odds, slain prodigies like Bruce, and even taken down an entire Crimson City alone—cutting down more than twenty Masters in the process!

The Legendary prodigy of the Seventh Division, Scarlet Wall Patrol!

"Is it really him?!"

The other human prodigies also stopped, staring at the dazzling figure bathed in lightning, their expressions brimming with emotion.

The alien-race prodigies froze as well, their attention instantly shifting away from the humans and locking onto Raine.

That name had been thunderous in their ears these days.

"Guardian lords—kill Raine first!"

Almost simultaneously, every alien-race prodigy shouted.

Killing a hundred or even a thousand ordinary talents was nothing compared to beheading a single prodigy!

Several Master-rank guardians immediately understood, their mind power locking tightly onto Raine.

Raine wasn’t worried about these alien-race prodigies or their guardians.

What he truly feared were any Grandmaster-rank or higher experts who might intervene—or an Epic-rank pursuer from the gargoyle race.

With a thought, he directly temporarily ascended to the Master rank!

Thunder Light exploded outward from his body, expanding rapidly to cover several kilometers. The apocalyptic thunder might made every living being tremble!

Bathed in endless lightning, Raine’s eyes shot out two piercing bolts of electric light.

His golden hair whipped upward, as if a Thunder God had descended into the world!

The terrifying aura surged like a raging tide, battering heaven and earth and scattering the mind power of the Master-rank guardians who had locked onto him.

The alien-race prodigies were directly suppressed, the violent torrent of blood qi slamming into them until they spat blood.

"M-Master Rank Nine?!"

"So strong... it’s suffocating!"

"So the rumors were true—this is the power of temporary ascension..."

They stared in disbelief, scarcely able to believe what they were seeing.

The human prodigies were just as stunned, utterly dumbfounded.

The black-robed youth was shaken to the core.

Maurice, too, erupted with a terrifying Nex pressure, countering Raine’s thunder might.

He reacted faster than anyone, striking first!

"So the rumors weren’t false—you can forcibly raise your rank with a forbidden art!"

Maurice’s killing intent boiled over.

An Elite slaying Masters—and not just one, but over twenty!

No matter what method it was, for a fresh recruit to accomplish something so world-shaking was enough to make any enemy’s heart quake.

He had to seize this chance and strangle Raine here and now!

Raine wasted no words. He fully activated the Obsidian Golem Codex and Thunder Arbiter, charging straight at Maurice.

"Meeting me is the greatest misfortune of your life!"

Maurice’s eyes turned icy as he rushed forward.

The full might of a Master Rank Eight burst forth without reservation, completely sealing this stretch of void.

"Shadow Black Mist!"

Seeking a swift kill, Maurice directly summoned his Godform!

Endless black shadow-mist enveloped him, manifesting as the colossal phantom of a dark serpent.

Its jaws gaped wide, spewing shadowy light capable of corroding everything.

Even lightning crackled and hissed upon contact, unable to disperse it instantly.

The shadow light rapidly eroded toward Raine—once engulfed, flesh, mind, and even soul would be swiftly dissolved.

Even a Grandmaster’s mind power would struggle to fully withstand it.

But Raine was even more ruthless!

Knowing full well that his opponent was a prodigy of extraordinary combat power, he didn’t hesitate either.

He directly summoned the Thunder Colossus and drew the Thunder Prison Blade.

A dazzling blade light tore through the sky, instantly cleaving apart vast swathes of shadow light!

Raine activated Thunder Light, swiftly evading the frontal erosion of the shadows.

Void Thunder, Judgment Spear, and other killing moves erupted in rapid succession!

For a moment, Maurice was battered backward again and again.

Just as his guardian tried to intervene, the void before him suddenly ripped apart.

Borm charged straight out, intercepting him!

The black-robed youth was merely Maurice’s servant, possessing only Expert-rank strength and unable to participate in a battle of this level.

He could only retreat rapidly, secretly gathering his strongest attack, waiting for a chance to deliver a fatal blow to Raine.

"Shadow Devour!"

Having been forced back, Maurice immediately unleashed another powerful skill.

His thousand-meter-tall Godform transformed its maw into an abyssal giant mouth.

The void before Raine tore open, and a shadow storm surged forth, seeking to swallow him whole.

Almost simultaneously, Raine commanded the thousand-meter Thunder Colossus to smash a fist straight into the shadow storm, further shattering the void.

At the same time, Thunder Light Wing flared violently!

He transformed into a blood-colored afterimage, piercing through the broken region.

Endless lightning roared around him, forming a thunderstorm that offset the killing force.

In an instant, he closed in on Maurice. Blood Pact activated, and a Thunder Lion phantom wreathed in annihilating lightning roared as it slammed into Maurice!

PSSHH—!

Maurice was sent flying yet again.

"Am I seeing things?"

"That blackwater clan prodigy was repelled again?!"

All the spectators on the periphery were shaken to the core.

This was already the third time in a row that Maurice had been forced back!

BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM!

The two clashed fiercely, the devastation rivaling a Grandmaster-level duel.

Even the Master-rank guardians could only linger on the battlefield’s edge, waiting for an opening.

As for the Expert-rank talents, they were forced to retreat repeatedly to avoid being swept away by the shockwaves.

Abby and the others didn’t flee any farther.

Raine was a patrol prodigy—and a prodigy of the human race.

They absolutely could not watch him fall here, at the very least not before they themselves did!

Yet as they saw Raine subtly suppressing Maurice with every strike, their initial worry transformed into shock—and then into surging exhilaration!

"Unbelievable... he’s actually growing stronger as the fight goes on!"

Someone nearby whispered excitedly, eyes full of pride.

This was their human race’s prodigy!

Even with scarce resources and a harsh path, he was in no way inferior to any alien-race prodigy!

"This is incredible!"

"As expected of a prodigy forged through slaughter—well done!"

They clenched their fists, roaring in excitement.

Raine pushed his movement techniques to the extreme. The blood-red glow of Thunder Light Wing intensified as he closed the distance once more.

"If I kill you... the old monsters of the blackwater clan are probably going to bleed from heartbreak!"

Raine’s voice boomed like thunder, echoing throughout the Koshi Range.

It sent every human and alien race alike into a trembling frenzy.

Pairs of eyes widened to their limits, all fixed on the heart of the battlefield.

In this world, to be called a prodigy meant transcendent combat power, Nex, strength, and even the favor of fate itself.

Their hands were stained with blood. Through slaughter, they forged steel-like wills and unrivaled real-combat experience, granting them terrifying strength. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Every prodigy required the pouring in of oceans of resources, pursuing extreme perfection at every rank—far surpassing their peers and gaining the fearsome ability to kill across ranks.

They also had to possess unfathomable potential, the qualifications to contend for Sanctuary, to be worthy of the title prodigy.

Even among powerful royal clans, only a handful of prodigies could be cultivated each generation.

As for the great clans that merely attached themselves to royal clans—it was even rarer!

And Maurice was the sole prodigy that the blackwater clan had cultivated by exhausting the strength of their entire race!
