Chapter 1163 Against The Emperor Velgoth (Part 3)

Leaving the battlefield far below, Evan and Velgoth appeared high in the sky, their surging auras steering the flowing clouds, disintegrating them bit by bit.

Evan's face was deadly serious as he stared at the indifferent Emperor Velgoth, who seemed as though he didn't take him seriously at all.

Normally, Evan would have sneered at such arrogance, but this time, he held his tongue, knowing that Emperor Velgoth had the power to back up his pride.

Once in the sky, no words were spoken by either of them. The Halberd of Destruction in Evan's hand began to glow madly and his eyes shone under the effect of Temporal Velocity as he took the initiative to attack.

He summoned all the power within his body and took a step forward, instantly appearing right in front of Emperor Velgoth, swinging his halberd with devastating force.

The power of destruction radiated outward in all directions, obliterating the clouds within a radius of thousands of kilometres as the blade of the halberd came slashing down toward Emperor Velgoth.

The speed of the attack was as fast as lightning, but despite its ferocity, Velgoth's expression remained unchanged and he simply raised a single finger, cloaked in the Law of Darkness.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out as the blade of the halberd collided with Emperor Velgoth's finger, sending shockwaves rippling through the sky. The winds within thousands of kilometres roared into a frenzy, and the entire sky trembled from the impact as the powerful shockwaves spread in all directions, turning the once silent sky into a turbulent storm.

Despite the force of the collision, Evan couldn't hide his shock as he looked at Velgoth, who had stopped his halberd with just one finger, without even stepping back.

"Is that all?" Emperor Velgoth asked in an indifferent tone and with a flick of his finger, the dark energy enveloping his body erupted, striking the halberd.

A terrible force surged through Evan's arms and body from the halberd, and he was sent flying backwards at twenty times the speed of sound, spitting out blood in mid-air.

The friction between his armour and the air generated sparks of fire as he crashed down to the ground from thousands of meters high.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

A thunderous explosion echoed thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield where the Eldritch creatures and shadow undeads were fighting, and a mushroom-shaped dust cloud rose high into the sky as if a nuclear bomb had detonated.

Emperor Velgoth watched the rising cloud from the sky, his eyes piercing through the thick dust and focusing on the deep crater, thousands of meters in diameter.

However, as soon as his gaze locked onto the deep crater, he sensed a sharp, destructive aura rising and his expression shifted.

Swish!

The dust cloud was suddenly swept away by a streak of black-golden light as the Halberd of Destruction streaked through the sky, hurtling toward Emperor Velgoth at an astonishing speed.

This time, unlike before, Velgoth felt a fatal threat from the halberd as if it could cause him serious harm.

Trusting his instincts, Emperor Velgoth immediately stepped out of the halberd's path. Although the halberd was as fast as lightning, it wasn't beyond his ability to dodge.

Trusting his instincts, Emperor Velgoth immediately stepped out of the halberd's path. Although the halberd was as fast as lightning, it wasn't beyond his ability to dodge.

But to his shock, just as he moved out of the halberd's way, alarm bells rang inside his mind and he quickly sidestepped again.

The moment he sidestepped—

Bang!

The deafening crack of a gunshot echoed across the sky as a blood-red bullet brushed past his previous position, barely missing him.

The bullet itself wasn't particularly powerful, but Emperor Velgoth felt a strange energy hidden within it that made his heart tremble.

His instincts screamed that even though the bullet's power seemed weak, it could have bypassed his powerful defences and inflicted serious damage if he had gotten hit by it.

Emperor Velgoth was still reeling from the bizarre occurrence when warning bells once again rang inside his mind.

Feeling the threat, he was about to move away, but before he could—

Tear!

The space just a centimetre away from his chest collapsed, opening a void rift.

Swish!

From the void, the sharp tip of the black-golden halberd emerged and struck him directly in the chest.

The power of the Law of Darkness within Emperor Velgoth's body flared to life, instantly covering him in a protective aura. However—

Whoosh!

The halberd's tip completely ignored the defence created by the Law of Darkness, piercing through Velgoth's chest, almost reaching his heart.

As the halberd bypassed his defences so easily, Emperor Velgoth's face contorted in disbelief.

But as a high level core evolver, he reacted very quickly and grabbed the halberd before it could destroy his heart, trying to pull it out with tremendous strength.

At his level, while he wouldn't die just because of losing his heart, the area near it remained critical for core evolvers, as that's where their cores were located.

With his immense strength, it wasn't difficult for Emperor Velgoth to pull the halberd free. However, just before he could remove it completely—

Boom!

The tip of the Halberd exploded with a surge of destructive energy, unleashing a force that ravaged Velgoth's body from the inside. A trickle of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth as he finally succeeded in removing the weapon.

After removing the Halberd of Destruction, Emperor Velgoth's eyes glowed with hatred and murderous intent as looked at the void rift before him.

Using all of his strength, he pulled the rest of the Halberd out from the void space and held it in an iron grip.

From the moment Emperor Velgoth first dodged the Halberd and narrowly evaded the blood-red bullet, to the sudden attack from the void rift, less than two seconds had passed.

Even for a Rank Five Core Evolver like Velgoth, the rapid sequence of events was so fast that it caught him off guard, almost costing him his heart.

After yanking the Halberd from the void rift, Velgoth's eyes blazed with fury and his gaze shifted towards the deep crater where Evan had crashed.

As he looked down from the sky, he saw Evan standing atop the edge of the crater, holding a sleek, black-coloured rifle.

Evan's face was as pale as a corpse, drained of all colour as if he had lost an immense amount of blood. But he was chewing on a blood-red grass and as he chewed it, the pale shade of his skin gradually returned to a healthier, rosy tone and he let out a quiet sigh.

'Even with a sneak attack where I put everything on the line, I barely managed to lightly injure him…' Evan thought to himself, his eyes narrowing as he glanced at the current state of his active authority.
