The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 463: More Mystery
Chapter 463: More Mystery
At this moment, the water condensed in the hands of the man. Then, suddenly, it solidified, and spikes appeared all over the round ball that was made out of water.
According to how it was, it was definitely impossible to be able to create spikes out of pure water in such a way. Additionally, just by looking at them, Olivia and the others could tell on just how extra ordinary and solid the spikes looked. It was clear that the moment that they were attacked by that water ball that was surrounded by spikes, the damage that they were going to receive was definitely not minimal.
But even then, they just continued struggling, trying to get back on their feet. But no matter how much they tried, due to the injuries that they had suffered, it was definitely impossible for them to be able to get back on their feet once again in a short period of time.
Of course each and every one of them had already thought of taking the healing portion, but the merman was actually preventing them from doing that using something that completely immobilized their movements. This was yet another reason why they were not capable of getting up.
Otherwise, with how relentless each and everyone of them was, it was impossible for them to continue lying on the ground even with the injuries that they had suffered, especially considering that if they continued lying on the ground, the territory that belonged to Henry would definitely be destroyed. And that was definitely something that both Diana and Storm would not agree to.
The merman on the other hand did not care about what Olivia and the others were thinking. But instead, he just continued solidifying the ball that was made out of water, before he threw it into the air.
The moment that the water ball got into the air, it suddenly began spinning. Then all of a sudden, the spikes that were surrounding the water ball were launched out like arrows.
But it was just at that moment that the spikes were being launched that yet another change occurred. Both Diana and Storm suddenly felt that their strength had increased all of a sudden, and they immediately broke out of whatever it was that the merman was using to immobilize them.
The moment that they felt their strength increasing, they felt a qualitative change. At the same time, the injuries that were previously so fatal became quite ignorable, but even then, it was definitely capable of inhibiting their full combat strength.
But still, the two of them reacted immediately. They got up, and attacked the spikes that were already approaching them. Of course, they immediately acted in order to protect both Jasmine and Olivia.
Bang! Bang!
Several explosions occurred in the air as the spikes collided with the attacks from Diana and Storm. With that, the attack that had been launched by the merman was immediately neutralized.
The merman had actually not utilized his full strength during the time that he was attacking. According to him, these humans had already been subdued by him. For that reason, he did not have to utilize his full strength when dealing with them.
Additionally, the attack that he had launched just now was just a method of him becoming flashy, and it was actually one of the weakest skills that he possessed. Otherwise, if he really utilized his full strength, it would definitely be impossible for the current Diana and Storm to be able to easily block the attack so simply.
The change that had occurred, with both Storm and Diana breaking out of his immobilization skill, the merman was furious once again. This was yet another thing that was getting out of his control.
It was understandable that something else had happened, and that was something that he could not control considering that it was the rule of the apocalypse, but even then, why was it that even the humans were actually getting out of his control? Was he really that weak? Or was he that pathetic?
Flames of anger immediately raged within the merman’s eyes. He looked towards the group of four that had already managed to get up from the ground, and had already taken the healing potions.
At this moment, the injuries that they had suffered previously had already began recovering at an incredible speed. It was clear to him that the level of the potions that they had taken was definitely quite high, something that was supposed to be extremely rare within this stage of the apocalypse.
But even then, looking at the rate at which they were healing, it was clear that they had taken more than a single healing potion, each and every one of them.
Deciding not to give them a chance of healing completely, he decided to attack once again. This time, a spear that was made out of water suddenly solidified in front of him. Then in the next moment, he launched it towards the group of four.
The moment that the spear was approaching them, it suddenly split into four spears that approached the four at the same time. It was clear that the control that the merman was having over his attacks was kind of terrifying, enabling him to control four attacks at the same time.
But even then, it was good that the distance between Storm and Diana with Olivia and Jasmine was not that big. It was clear that with the current level that the two of them were in, it was impossible for them to be able to block the attack that was coming their way.
Having already recovered by a certain margin, both Diana and Storm attacked once again. A green ball of light suddenly solidified in front of Storm, before it charged towards the spears.
At the same time, Diana attacked using her bow and arrow, with the arrow that she was launching this time obviously being something that she was launching at the maximum strength that she could mobilize at the moment.
Booom!
The moment that the green ball came into contact with one of the spears, it exploded. Since the four of them were quite close to each other, the spears were also close to each other considering that the targets were located in the same place.
For that reason, the explosion that occurred affected all the four spears at the same time. But even then, even after the explosion, although it was true that the speed at which the spears were approaching the group had been reduced by quite a margin, the spears had not been destroyed.
But at that moment, an arrow suddenly arrived in between the spear before it exploded as well. The moment that it exploded, a suction force was suddenly generated. Then in the next moment, the spears that were made out of water were destroyed, turning into water droplets that fell from the sky.
The actions that had taken place were extremely fast. Olivia and Jasmine could not clearly follow what was going on. This was simply due to the difference in the strength that each and every one of them possessed.
And for the first time, Olivia could not help but feel a little helpless. She had always been trying to chase after Henry, despite the fact that she knew that it was definitely impossible for her to be able to catch up to him. But even then, she had been trying to make sure that the gap that existed between them was not that huge.
She was his second in command, and for that reason, she was supposed to be quite powerful as well, making sure that nobody would look down on her when they looked up to Henry.
But looking at the strength that Henry possessed right now, it was definitely impossible for her to be able to catch up with him. As for decreasing the gap, that was definitely an impossibility considering that the gap that existed between them was continuously increasing on each and every day.
Since both Diana and Storm had already reached the platinum rank due to the abilities that they were displaying, it was very clear that Henry had also reached the platinum rank. Additionally, it was not just in his summoner profession, but instead, in his combat strength as well.
Until today, she was not sure about how many professions Henry possessed. But even then, she understood that he was definitely very strong. He was a mage, a fire mage, but at the same time, he was a summoner. But then thinking about his own physical strength, it was definitely obvious that he was not an ordinary mage and summoner at all.
Currently, the only thing that Olivia could do was to retreat together with Jasmine. Otherwise, if they continue staying here, it was definitely going to give Diana and Storm a hard time trying to fight with the merman while at the same time trying to protect the two of them.
They retreated back to the area where the rest of the members of the territory had already retreated. They stayed in front of them, ready to protect them in case of anything.
On the other side, the merman was completely furious after realizing that the strength of the two had increased. Moreover, it seemed that they had already reached the platinum rank. Since that was the case, that implied that the master of this wolf was definitely already in the platinum rank.
But there was definitely something that he did not understand, and that was the fact that this elf girl had also managed to reach the platinum rank at the same time as the wolf. Could it be that there was a connection between her and the master of the wolf? Or could it be that she was the master of the wolf?
He had so many questions in his mind, but he did not have a chance of asking them, as he believed that he had to go back so that his father could clarify the situation to him. With that in mind, he immediately attacked once again, this time, utilizing his full strength with the aim of pulverizing the two weak creatures in front of him.
