Chapter 65

Looking at the figure that suddenly attacked him, Zephyr could feel that this one was far more stronger than the monsters he had annihilated earlier.

It looked like a human at first glance but there were two pairs of wings that was gray in color at the back and horns on its forehead. Before Zephyr could decide what he would do about it, it suddenly moved and attacked him.

A distance of 3m was narrowed in an instant and instantly appearing in front of Zephyr. Zephyr then avoided the slash of the spear that was full of killing intent. Zephyr then narrowed his eyes as he saw no sign of any movement.

'This one clearly didn't make any sign of movement yet he was in front of me in instant.'

Unknowingly, by his evasion, he arrived at the side of Ericson. Turning its attention towards the both of them, Zephyr then sensed an enormous magic power and he felt he was being pulled.

[You have resisted.]

'Huh?'

"Huh?"

Zephyr wondered in his mind why the notification appeared as he then turned his gaze towards Ericson why he also made a dumbfounded expression. Zephyr then concluded that the system prompt that was the same to him had appeared in front of Ericson as he was also a legend.

The one in front of him on the other hand was stunned wondering why nothing happened. It wasn't defense but resistance. The skill he used apparently hit yet nothing happened to them at all. Seeing the figure's reaction, both of them knew that he had done something but it was currently unknown to them.

Zephyr could use his [Emperor Eye] in any moment he want to see the information of the opponent in front of him but he felt it would be so boring if he won't experience fighting the unknown.

He also thinks that there should be a thrill in fighting the unknown. Then it's expression turned to a serious one as it then disappeared in front of Zephyr and Ericson. Before they could react...

[You have been hit by a lethal blow!]

[The enemy has attacked using an unknown ability.]

[You have suffered 103,900 damage.]

Blood emerged from his mouth but Zephyr ignored it and immediately turned his gaze at his back towards their enemy which penetrated Zephyr's chest.

'I was not able to react at all.'

Zephyr calmly thought as he wondered what did it do to attack him without him noticing even his super sensitivity stats was now very high. It was also to be noted that Zephyr's indomitable stat was also high that could help him negate any damage he received.

Seeing the spear that was deeply penetrated on Zephyr's chest, Ericson widened his eyes as he wasn't able to notice anything before he caught a glimpse on the spear.

However, he wasn't worried as he then turned around and started to attack. He then decisively kicked the thigh but he felt he kicked a hard wall of concrete.

[You have dealt 0 damage to the target.]

"Tch! Suppressions."

Ericson muttered unhappily as he couldn't help but exclaimed seing that he was being suppressed by the level difference not knowing the tier difference was also a factor. The spear was then pulled out from Zephyr's chest and it immediately waved the spear while targeting Ericson.

Before the spear was about to land, the enemy halted its attack and immediately retreated as numerous streaks of lightning rushed towards him as Zephyr consecutively fired [Lightning Blast].

Just like what happened before, all [Lightning Blast] missed as its target disappeared. Seeing it, Zephyr was now sure of it.

"So it could teleport just like my [Blink]."

Hearing it, Ericson thought it made sense if it could blink as it would be impossible for it be its movement speed as they can't sense any motion on the surrounding.

Two swords appeared in Zephyr's hands. A strong surge of aura then immediately coated the swords as Zephyr activated the [Sword Aura] for the first time.

He then instantly appeared behind as he used [Blink]. Fire and lightning began to surround his sword as he activated [Lightning Flame Slash].

Miss!

Seeing it disappeared again, he then immediately used [Blink] again. Zephyr then swooped down his sword aiming for its head.

Miss!

'Interesting.'

As it completely evaded his attack again, Zephyr thought it was interesting instead of feeling irritated that none of his attacks were working.

Closing his eyes, Zephyr slightly sensed an incoming attack from behind. Zephyr didn't bother to defend as he also reacted by slicing the leg.

[You have been hit by a lethal blow!]

[The enemy has attacked using an unknown ability.]

[You have suffered 110,760 damage.]

[Critical!]

[You have dealt 21,838 damage to the target.]

It let out a sound of pain as it once again disappeared. Seeing the difference in their damages, Zephyr now confirmed that he was currently facing an enemy that was on a higher tier than he is.

Zephyr could also confirm that it was deliberately ignoring Ericson as it treated Zephyr to be more of a threat than the Tier 0 Ericson.

Zephyr used [Blink] as he then appeared behind and kicked off his left foot and his leg moved like that of a snake as it struck towards the neck.

Before his attack was about to hit, it immediately disappeared again while the spectating Ericson narrowed his eyes. Even it missed, he was not focusing on that.

What made him narrow his eyes was because he recognized the moved that Zephyr had made. It was a move from the Martinez style Martial Arts, Viper's Bite.

'To think he also knew our martial arts...That facility was really terrifying like the elders had said.'

Currently, because of his [Martial Arts Creation] skill, he currently had the move that Zephyr had made in skill form.

Zephyr on the other hand didn't care about the thoughts of Ericson as he was feeling slightly delighted that this would be a challenging fight.

Suddenly the world around Zephyr turned black and white as he stopped the time with [Time Stop]. Zephyr then used [Blink] as he then brandished his sword while also using [Saint's Sword Dance] at the same time.

Just as Zephyr's blade was about to pass by the neck, something unbelievable happened. In the frozen time, it moved and evaded Zephyr's attack as it then disappeared in his view.

'Interesting!'

Zephyr's eyes lit up as he wondered why it was still able to move in the frozen time. He immediately dismissed the thought and also let out a sigh as he then used [Blink] again as he then slashed. Zephyr's sword missed its vital point as he sliced into the chest area.

However, Zephyr then adjusted himself and quickly used [Illusory Sword] to accurately strike the neck, making his sword slashed 6 times in quick succession.

[Critical!]

[You have dealt 30,458 damage to the target.]

[Critical!]

[You have...]

Time returned to normal after slashing. For Ericson who had no idea of what had happened in the frozen time, he just thought that both Zephyr and their enemy just teleported as they had reappeared on a different place from their previous positions.

"To think you also had the power to control the time. What an interesting human."

It spoke for the first with a surprise in his tone. It then unleashed a deadly aura of suppression.

[You have resisted.]

Once again, both Zephyr and Ericson benefitted of possessing a legendary class as they were able to avoid being heavily suppressed.

Zephyr then sensed that something was about to happen and immediately retreated. Ericson did the same. Soon enough, a void of space that was visible in their eyes appeared in front of them.

[You have resisted.]

They felt that they were being pulled by it but once again they resisted. After the continuous resistance, Zephyr and Ericson now concluded that they were not fighting a legendary figure.

Seeing it stopped moving, Zephyr guessed that the skill it casted needed it be in place. Zephyr didn't miss the chance as he the simultaneously casted [Lightning Blast] and fired [Lightning Bolt] at the same time.

[Lightning Bolt Lv.2]

However, unlike what Zephyr had expected, the skills he had fired were all sucked into the void without landing into its designated target.

Zephyr wasn't bothered by it, as he then used [Lightning Body] instantly entering into the attack range.

[Lightning Body Lv.2]

With the [Lightning Body Lv2.], Zephyr was 3 times faster than the skill on its level 1.

His Klein Hunting Sword and Zilron's Sword was then covered by a scarlet aura. Seeing the unmoving target, how could Zephyr let this opportunity slip away? He immediately aimed for the head using [Vorpal Destruction] that was being combined by his [Sword Aura].

Suddenly it flinched when it sensed the aura the was filled with stench of destruction and saturated killing intent. Then there was a strange sound that resonated throughout the atmosphere.

It was as if the sound itself knew the meaning of fear in the pressence of this terrifying intent. In that single instance, everything was strangely peaceful.

However, it knew that if he didn't do something, there's only one thing he would end up to. Annihilation!

Trying his best, it focused all his mana into a single point and created a miracle for himself. He was lucky to avoid the swords of Zephyr.

Miss!

Due to the repetitive misses that was constantly happening, he felt an intense curiosity. Zephyr utilized his [Emperor Eye] as he inspected it.
