The world was still for a moment before a shockwave swept the battlefield.
The giant red snake's tail was thrown back as if someone yanked it from behind and the abyssal was blown away into the air.
Dust storm ravaged the area as large cracks appeared and destroyed the land.
"Shit!" Austin Xander cursed under his breath and focused his powers on the abyssal.
In the exchange just now, the two seemed equal, but attacks were Declan's morphed entity's strongest attribute.
On the other hand, the abyssal…
With a sonic boom, the dust was steered away as the abyssal shot toward the snake.
The red snake, on the other hand, was a bit slower and responded by opening its mouth and spitting fountains of red venom.
The sand in the air melted upon mere contact with the venom and a pungent smell with poisonous properties spread in the air.
While the poison was dangerous, as the one who made the first move, the abyssal had ample opportunities to evade.
The abyssal twisted his body and was about to dodge when—
"Got you!" Austin's eyes gave off blue light and the abyssal's eyes went blue.
The illusion took hold of the abyssal and this time, Austin had no intention of letting him go this ti—
"Huh?"
The abyssal's eyes returned to red color for an instant and Austin staggered as something seemed to block off his mental force.
"H-how did he block…" Austin was going nuts.
On the other hand, Varian dodged the venom fountains and reached the base of the snake.
With a kick to the ground, he flew thirty meters in an instant and reached the head of the snake.
The red snake gave off a hiss and a horn grew on its head. Emitting a glowing red light, the horn spun and shot at Varian.
'If the psychic bastard isn't making things tough, I'd have ended it in a few seconds. Fuck.' Varian gritted his teeth as he faced the shining red horn.
If he wasn't using his mental powers to block off Austin's attack, he could've used it on the snake to delay its reactions and finished it off in the gap.
But now…
"Graaah!" With a battle cry, Varian stretched his hands and grabbed the horn that was as large as a truck.
Due to the sheer force, he was blown off into the clouds.
The skin on his arms cracked and green blood spilled out. His muscles began to break from the impact and his bones creaked.
However, Varian didn't budge as he held the spinning horn.
It might have been minutes or seconds or just an instant, but when Varian felt like his hand bones were about to break, the horn stopped.
Varian gripped the large horn and raised it above his head. The muscles on his arms bulged and undetected by anyone, telekinetic power was added to the horn, ready to shoot it like a missile.
"Bye!"
The horn descended from the clouds like divine lightning, powered by both physical strength and telekinetic power.
"Declan, dodge!" Austin's panicking voice rang in the red snake's mind, but speed wasn't the creature's forte.
Even though it tried its best and avoided being pierced on its head, the spear lodged itself into its eye and destroyed its insides.
Like a mountain collapsing, the snake crashed to the ground.
Cloud of dust rose and the surrounding five miles were swept away by shockwaves.
"D-Declan!" The genius psychic, Invisible Hunter, Austin Xander felt his heart drop.
It wasn't supposed to go like this.
They'd ambush the level 7 abyssals and Judie would—
A chill shot down Austin's spine and he quickly turned around, only to see the abyssal standing behind him.
"J-James, back me up…" Austin hurriedly called to the space awakener but everything blurred and the next thing he knew, he was lying on the ground with a huge hole in his chest.
His heart was blasted to pieces and the abyssal's chi was wreaking havoc in his body.
'I'm going to die!' Austin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He never thought he'd end up like this. He dreamed of going to greater heights, reaching level 8, level 9, and even…
"How unexpected. I was searching for one and got two. Is this the famous one plus one?" The abyssal spoke in human tongue as he stepped toward him.
The human soldiers that came to assist Austin were blocked off by abyssals.
