Chapter 1019 Another Death
The zombie stopped. Not because it obeyed Varian but since it sensed a new prey.
The s.p.a.ce around the Varian twisted and cracked like a broken mirror. It felt like countless sharp blades were placed on his skin, just about to cut deep.
"f.u.c.k off." Varian"s s.p.a.ce power surged and the cracked s.p.a.ce restored back to normal.
A lightning bolt appeared behind the zombie and was about to strike it right in the back of its had. But the Undead vanished and appeared far away.
With a swipe of its hand, the s.p.a.ce around Varian"s neck tightened and it felt like someone was choking him.
Varian tried to loosen the hold with his s.p.a.ce power but it wasn"t enough. He had to throw in his physical, lightning and telekinetic power to finally break free.
"Haa!" He gasped, eyes locked on the zombie. "You"re so dead."
The s.p.a.ce behind him went white as a bone-chilling ice spears reached his back.
Water Queen smiled smugly as she ambushed him perfectly.
But the smile faded as the spear pa.s.sed through Varian as if he was an…
"Illusion!"
The moment the thought appeared in her mind, she felt a presence behind her. Instinctively, she covered herself in an armor of ice.
But Varian"s fist glowing with the lights of too many powers broke shattered her defenses and punched her.
Looking at the cold eyes of the young man, Water Queen realized something.
"I was waiting for him to be locked up by Zombie to ambush him and he was waiting for me to relax after ambushing so he can ambush him. This son of a—"
Her thought process was cut short as a searing pain coursed through her body, the snapping of her ribs sounding like a horrifying but sweet orchestra and she blew back like she was. .h.i.t by a f.u.c.king truck.
"Arghhh!" Shining waves of dark water wrapped her and while protecting her, they slowed her down.
Water Queen clutched her bleeding abdomen. Like a hole in the dam, it was spilling her blood endlessly. Gritting her teeth, she manipulated the water content in her blood and sealed the bleeding.
As she prepared to get back at him, a shockwave reached her. Then another. And another.
Water Queen"s eyes shifted to the blurring figures that appeared and disappeared all over the place as they teleported at ridiculous frequency.
The abyssal queen tried to lock down on Varian and support the zombie. Her eyes went ice blue as she put her heart and soul into it.
For the sake of her own ego and for the survival of abyssal race, she had to kill him.
The blue mana in her palms condensed into a small disc. Then, it shot forward and split into hundreds of thiner discs. Each disc spun at an insane rate and searched for the target.
After a few more blurs, Varian appeared near a disc and it reached him before he could teleport again.
This time, he wasn"t an illusion. And the disc cut through all his defenses and reached his skin, about to tear it to pieces.
Water Queen"s lips curled up and her heart thrashed against her chest, imagining the red blood splashing out of Varian while his face contorted in pain.
The remaining discs were already on the way to attack him. Soon, they"d drown him and soon, they"d kill him.
And…
And…
"Huh?!" Water Queen"s eyes nearly popped out as she watched her spinning ice disc clash with Varian"s skin and break into pieces. "W-What the—arghh."
She tried to side step but only managed half of it and screamed as a spear of darkness pierced into her abdomen, near Varian earlier punched her. Almost immediately a bunch of light orbs exploded in the cavity of that wound.
Turning around quickly, she caught two human girls rushing back into a s.p.a.ceship, no, the ghost ship.
"You—" Water Queen"s face paled as she realized she was once again played.
She put her whole focus on Varian and created the room for these girls to sneak attack on her.
"I"ll kill you!" She lashed out a water column at the fleeing s.p.a.ceship and locked her senses on it. If they dared to appear again, she"d know.
"Water Queen, the ocean of fear, the end of Venus, the flood of apocalypse…" Varian rambled as he appeared in the distance and punched out.
A millisecond later, the zombie appeared in place and was smashed in his face. The zombie staggered back and couldn"t respond for a second. So, it didn"t immediately teleport like it always did.
That window of opportunity was enough.
Varian slammed it with his s.p.a.ce, time power. Sia"s gravity and Sarah"s time powers also joined and converged on the poor zombie.ReadNovelFull.com
Even with the strength of a Sovereign, the zombie now needed half-second to break free of the influences and teleport.
"It"s over!" Varian laughed and placed his hands on either side of the zombie head.
His palms lit up with a mult.i.tude of colors and the scream of Water Queen rang from behind. "Stop!"
The moment the zombie broke free, Varian"s palms fired a dazzling light which enveloped the creature"s head and he teleported.
Water Queen"s ice spear shot through where Varian had just been standing and thanks to just how close he was to the zombie, it pierced right through the creature"s chest.
The zombie screamed and teleported over and over. But the light covering its face consumed it as it shrank slowly. Like a beast gnawing its meal, it slowly ate way the undead"s head and ended its pathetic life.
Meanwhile, Water Queen looked around with caution and almost…fear as she waited for Varian who suddenly disappeared to make an entrance.
"No. He won"t ambush me again." She chewed her lip as sweat flowed down her back and terror crept in her heart.
He fooled her twice and killed a f.u.c.king Sovereign, even if it"s a zombie, right in front of her.
As the silence continued in the dark s.p.a.ce, fear griped her.
"Y-You! If it"s really your mother gave birth to you, stop hiding and come o—"ReadNovelFull.com
Varian appeared in front of her and she reflexively thrust the ice spear in her hand, straight through her neck before he dissolved into specks of light.
"Coward!" She gripped the ice spear tighter as she stared around, gulping her saliva and stressing her senses to the maximum.
She had no way of knowing that Varian was cooperating with Sarah and Sia to use the light and darkness powers with his own psychic power to create a perfect illusion.
Even though none of them reached the Sovereign state in these paths, they managed to fool one. Still, it shouldn"t have worked.
But Water Queen was more panicked than she realized. And it was actively working against her.
As seconds accrued into minutes, Varian"s illusions kept appearing in front of Water Queen abruptly and were destroyed as soon as they appeared.
"Die!"
"Come out!"
"Coward!"
As he popped one bubble after the next, Water Queen"s anger rose along with her fear.
And as she continuously fought against the illusion that didn"t do her any harm, her attacks turned recklessly and then—
Pufff!
Water Queen thrust the spear into Varian again, but instead of bursting into light, he caught it in his right hand and punched her.
Instinctively, the abyssal queen protected the most vulnerable parts of her body—head, neck and heart. Last on the list was her injured abdomen. But Varian"s attack connected before she could protect it.
"Arghh!" Water Queen curled in a fetal position as Varian punched a fist sized hole through her abdomen.
The pain, the injury and the weakness collapsed her onto her knees.
Varian raised his fist and was about to deliver the final attack when he sensed two familiar and dangerous presences lock on him.
