The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 457: A Single Move

"Okay, enough chat. Let’s deal with you so that I can go back and focus on other matters. It’s not as if I have to stay here for quite a long time to deal with you puny humans." The merman said before the same intense aura suddenly erupted out of his body.

Then, he raised his hand. His expression was still the same, filled with disdain towards the humans that he was facing. There was a small contentious smile that was on his lips, and he was doing things casually as if he was dealing with bugs.

The moment that Olivia and the others detected that the merman was going to make a move, they immediately acted. It was not as if during the time that this guy was speaking, they were just standing there idly.

Instead, they had already been accumulating energy, in order to be able to act the moment that they were required to do so. So, the moment that they realized that he was going to make a move, they immediately took action.

Diana raised the bow that she was holding in her hand, before she pointed it towards the man. Then in the next moment, and extremely big arrow solidified, before it was released towards the man.

Swoosh!

The sound of the arrow cutting through the air as it approached the merman could be heard clearly even by the people that were already some distance away from the battlefield.

Storm on the other hand opened his mouth wide. Then in the next moment, a green light suddenly erupted within his mouth, before a small ball was shot towards the man. The speed at which the ball was moving in the air was incredible, almost catching up to the speed of the arrow.

Olivia was not to be left behind. She raised her hand into the air, and in the next moment, a spear that was made out of ice solidified. Then in the next moment, it dropped from the sky at an incredible speed.

Jasmine also decided to take action. It might be true that she was not as strong as Olivia and the others, but even then, she believed that she might be capable of making some impact on the battle all the same.

Lightning condensed around her, then in the next moment, a tiger that was made out of lightning was solidified in front of her. Then in the next moment, it began rushing towards the merman with the intention of tearing him apart.

In front of the attacks that had been launched towards him, the merman was not that much surprised. With his current power level, it was definitely not impossible for him to be able to detect in advance that Olivia and the others had already been preparing themselves to attack.

In fact, him raising his hand into the air was just a method that he was utilizing in order to make Olivia and the others to make a move. And in front of those attacks, he did not panic, and neither did his expression change at all.

The hand that was raised in the air suddenly glowed with a green light. The moment that that happened, the moment that the attacks that had been launched by Olivia and the others arrived in front of the man, they actually stopped as if they had met with an invisible wall that was blocking them from reaching their destination.

Olivia and the others could not help but be a little stunned. It might be true that they had already been expecting that they would definitely not be capable of dealing with this man, but even then, they had not thought that the difference between them was this huge that the attacks that they had launched using their full strength was going to be blocked just like that.

"Is this all that you humans possess? Let me tell you something, from where I am from, I am currently the weakest among all. But even then, if I decide to stay on land, I do believe that I will be the king of this land. After all, who can compete with me?" The merman stated as he chuckled.

Diana and Storm both had their expressions shift the moment that they heard what this merman had said. Then in the next moment, without hesitation, they detonated the attacks that they had launched.

Diana’s arrow that was currently trembling as it was stopped in the air from proceeding forward suddenly glowed green. Then in the next moment, it exploded tremendously.

The merman had not expected that something like this was going to happen. The moment that the arrow exploded, the air around it suddenly began being attracted towards the center of the explosion.

At this moment, even the ball that was launched by Storm was pulled in before it detonated. The merman on the other hand was also being attracted towards the center of the explosion where the arrow had exploded.

Even though his feet only moved for a few inches, the expression of the merman changed completely. At this moment, the smile that was on his face disappeared completely.

He looked at the area that was trying to suck him in, and a contemptuous look appeared in his eyes. At the same time, a tinge of anger appeared within his eyes.

He raised his hand and suddenly, the suction force that was trying to pull him in completely stopped. Then, a small green crystal solidified and wrapped around the center of the explosion, before making sure that everything disappeared about the attack that had been launched by both Diana and Storm.

Holding the crystal in his hand, the merman looked towards Diana and Storm. "I did not think that I was going to be embarrassed by you humans. Even though the difference in strength between us is so big, you actually managed to move me a little."

"So, here is an offer. I want the two of you to join my side. I’m going to give you a good position within my army, and you are going to be generals of the army. What do you think?" The merman asked as he looked at Diana and Storm.

To say the truth, he was actually not willing to have the two of them joining his side at all. In fact, he wanted to eradicate all of them the moment that they managed to push him a little.

But thinking about the circumstance that he was in, he decided to try to rope them in. As long as they joined him, he would definitely be capable of punishing them the way that he wanted. After all, as long as they agreed to join him, there was no way that they were going to get away from him.

But what he did not expect was the fact that the moment that he asked Diana and Storm to join his side, that was the time that he made his biggest mistake. How could the two of them who were extremely loyal to Henry agreed to join another side?

The crystal that was being held by the merman suddenly began trembling. Then in the next moment, a huge explosion occurred within the crystal. The level of the explosion was extremely high as compared to the one that had occurred during the moment that Diana had detonated the arrow that she had launched before.

Booom!

The merman was pushed backwards once again. This time, he was forced to retreat more than two steps backwards. And with that, his expression changed completely as he was extremely furious at this point.

Diana and the others looked at the man, and they could not help but feel a little helpless. Even with the explosion that had occurred, the ground had already been devastated, but for the man, there was no injury that was seen on his body at all.

Not to mention an injury, there was actually not even a single scratch on him. It was as if the explosion that had happened was nothing at all. At this moment, they realized the horror of this man.

But even then, it was not as if they were willing to submit. They had already decided to follow Henry, and right now, they had decided to fight for this territory that belonged to Henry.

They were not the only ones who had decided to continue attacking despite the fact that they understood that they were not capable of dealing with this creature at all. Olivia had already been trying to recover the energy that she had lost using the recovery potions.

So at this moment, she had already recovered by a good margin. So, the moment that they began attacking, they attacked together at the same time. Of course, they attacked using their full strength, without holding back at all.

The merman on the other hand did not care about the attacks that were being launched towards him. But instead, he looked furious at the fact that he had been pushed back, not just a few inches, but instead, two steps.

His green eyes began glowing red. Then in the next moment, the attacks that had been launched towards him stopped in the air. Then suddenly, they turned around before they rushed towards the ones who had attacked.

Not expecting that they were going to be attacked by their own attacks, and they were actually stronger than the time that they had launched, Diana and the others immediately acted in order to defend themselves.

But even then, since they had decided to go all out in attacking, it was obvious that their defenses had already been weakened. For that reason, an explosion occurred one after the other as they were hurtled into the air.

Each and every one of them was injured to a certain degree. Blood was flowing out of their mouths, and the ones that were in a very critical condition were none other than Jasmine and Diana. The two of them did not possess that much strong bodies in order to be able to handle the attacks that they had just received.

"It seems that I will have to teach you a lesson by making all of you my slaves." The merman stated before he began walking towards Olivia and the others who were currently lying on the ground, devastated. They had actually been defeated in just a single move.
