Chapter 1054: 1054 The Chase



One of the greatest weapons in the world was obviously hope. It was a feeling that could help an ordinary person accomplish something impossible, make them go past all limits, or push their body to the limit.

When there is hope in a person's eyes, everything changes significantly, and Nitra understands that better than anyone else.

A few seconds ago, she was ready to die since she had admitted defeat. Liang was stronger, that was an inevitable fact as well as the fact that in two attacks, he had practically turned Nitra into a piece of metal or junk.

She knew she had no chance of survival, not in this situation, but when the pillar of black flame appeared, everything changed.

Nitra knew where this place was, she had been there once before and it was one of the few forbidden places in Construct World. Only the most powerful and influential Constructs were allowed to visit Zero Area.

There was nothing in Zero Area, just endless darkness, and destruction with ruins and ancient wrecks of some structures. However, it was once the most important point in Construct World, because a Tree used to grow there.

It was this Tree that the Progenitor of Undeads burned down long ago. Nitra's spear was made from the parts left over from the fire, it was the only thing Constructs could do with their previous Tree. At least that's what they thought.

"Where is she going?" Marlis muttered in a disbelief.

"Zero Area." Sven calmly replied with a deep look, "That's where the previous Tree used to grow."

Marlis frowned, "What...? What's the point of that? You said yourself that her spear is the only thing left from the previous Tree. With wounds like that, not even Alucard could save her if he wanted to!"

Sven nodded, "Yeah, I agree with you, and I've told you everything I know about Tree's past. However, she seems to know more than we do. Just look at her eyes, and it will become clear to you." 

Marlis did as Sven said.

Nitra was running away from Liang, using every means she had to do so. A few seconds ago she wouldn't have even considered it. Nitra would have just waited until Liang would have made his final attack, but now her eyes weren't empty, they were filled with hope.

The spear still continued to emanate a strange energy that for some reason only Liang could see as if its energy had something in common with him.

"Hey, do you really think I'll let you run away?" Liang coldly said, easily catching up with Nitra.

Liang with a serious expression, stepped through the air, right beside Nitra who was trying to run away from him.

Nitra didn't answer anything, she didn't even look in his direction since the only thing she was thinking about at the time was the table of black flames. She had to get to Zero Area, even if she had to sacrifice everything to do so.

Liang frowned slightly, then he pointed his sword at Nitra. It seemed like she didn't see it, but she actually trusted her instincts. 

Normally Constructs relied on calculations and her mind, but now that she was on death's doorstep, everything changed.

Whoooooooosh.

However, Liang didn't care about what Nitra was feeling right now. He had a goal to kill her, to finish what he had started and he was going to do it, nothing could stop him.

Liang's sword swiftly approached Nitra, almost touching her skin and the already shattered protective plates.

But, at the moment Liang's sword was about to tear Nitra apart, the aura around her spear quickly increased, for a moment creating a transparent sphere around Nitra.

Liang did not see it, nor did Sven or Alucard. In fact, even Nitra could not yet see the power hidden in her spear, only Wain could clearly see it.

Then, the sphere trembled and Liang's eyes went wide. Suddenly, he felt a powerful pressure and it was as if some brute force was colliding with him.

Whooooooooooosh.

The impact, threw Liang aside, he was heading towards the ground with tremendous speed, unable to stop. As a result, Liang sank deeply into the sand, which quickly covered him as if it was his grave.

However, not even a few seconds later, Liang with a wave of his hand lifted the waves of sand up, and once again rushed after Nitra, who was already very far away. 

He didn't realize anything, as it didn't look like Nitra was attacking him. She was using lightning, and this attack wasn't like that, it was physical.

'Hmm... Looks like this spear is a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. Well, it's actually not good for me at all, but, it won't happen again.'' Liang inwardly uttered while staring intently at Nitra.

His legs tensed up, then a shockwave appeared behind him, throwing him forward, and speeding him up considerably. It was as if he had bounced off something, though there was nothing in the air, just emptiness.I think you should take a look at

Thus, Liang quickly reached Nitra, however, this time he decided not to use his sword. He didn't know what else Nitra's spear was capable of, so he decided to act more reliably.

His hand, headed towards Nitra, going to grab her shoulder, then, for her, it would be all but certain. A few powerful blows would be enough to turn Nitra into a lifeless piece of metal and nothing more.

'No! That's not going to happen! Not now!" Nitra exclaimed to herself, then her eyes flashed.

Lightning discharges went through her legs, severing a part of them, and out of the open wounds came all the energy she had left. So Nitra accelerated herself, literally sacrificing her legs to temporarily use them as boosters like a rocket.

Liang covered himself with his hands, as the lightning coming from Nitra was quite powerful, and could seriously harm him.

Whooooooooooosh.

At the same moment, without Nitra's knowledge, some parts of her spear detached from its mechanisms that were right next to the blade. 

They flew at great speed into Liang, like projectiles, and exploded with powerful streams of black flames.

Liang didn't have time to react as he didn't know that such a thing was possible, so he was thrown back again and Nitra got some time again.

"Shit! When is this going to end?!" Liang exclaimed furiously as violent torrents of wind appeared around him.

"Fine, you probably don't have anything left anymore! You're literally falling apart! I'll get to you before you can get to the flames!" Liang confidently said before rushing forward.

He didn't go through the air this time, he stayed on the surface. Perhaps this was a mistake, as the sand was difficult to move on, but not in Liang's case.

His wind, which had become an unusual barrier for him that went in front of him, threw all the sand aside. All that remained in front of him was the dense, black granite that was at the base of the desert, beneath the tons of sand.

Behind him, the sand immediately returned to normal like waves in the sea, however, it didn't matter to him. There was now a hard surface under his feet and given the power of his muscles, it allowed him to move much faster. 

Crackle. Crackle. Crack.

The solid granite was cracking and shattering with every step he took, while Liang only picked up speed.

"Fucking monster..." The Guardian muttered in disbelief, "Looks like he's acting seriously now, but, does Nitra stand any chance...? Is there something in Zero Area that we're missing?"

Each Guardian had been in Zero Area many times, for different purposes, but most often they were exploring something. However, it was obvious since there was nothing left in Zero Area but ashes.

Liang quickly caught up with Nitra. In fact, they had already passed the desert some time ago, and now Liang was making his way through the dark forest with dry trees, however, his barrier was simply destroying everything in its path, clearing it.

At the moment when Liang was about to attack Nitra, half of whose body had already disintegrated into mechanical particles, he noticed that the ground beneath him had turned black. To be more precise, it was ash, not like a bonfire, but like a terrible fire that took away hope.

Liang quickly returned to his senses as he reached out his hand about to direct the wind at Nitra, but, suddenly streams of black flames swept in front of him.

"Get away!" Liang exclaimed, with a swing of his sword removing the flames from his sight, but, Nitra was no longer in front of him.

Liang turned around trying to find where Nitra was, but there was no Nitra in the next hundred or thousand meters.

Then, his gaze traveled to a pillar of black flame that gradually began to fade.

In front of him was Nitra, practically crawling on the ground as only a small part of her legs were left as well as other parts of her body.

The spear, in her hand, was helping her, dragging her forward.

It was all for the sake of getting closer to the center of the pillar of flame, which after a few seconds had completely extinguished.

"Isn't that..." Wain muttered with wide-open eyes.

In front of Nitra was a crystal similar to the blue ones that grew at the roots of the Tree, but, this one was black as the abyss. Inside, streams of black flame moved chaotically, sometimes revealing multicolored dots like stars and galaxies in the vast cosmos.
