Chapter 714 -82 Shadows and Brilliance_2

The aftermath of the shockwave finally passed.

The surviving ‘Mystical Side individuals’ began to look around them.

Everyone’s faces were covered in dust and ashes.

Some of the less fortunate ones even had bloodied heads.

But compared to those who would never breathe again, these injuries were nothing.

After exchanging glances, these people began to slowly retreat.

...

Although they had harbored some fantasies about joining this battle, even gaining some ‘opportunity’.

The being closest to ‘God’.

As ‘Mystical Side individuals’, they knew all too well what this meant.

Greed can make one brave.

To some extent, it can be called fearless.

But the recent strike was like a bucket of cold water poured over them, quickly bringing them back to their senses.

This was not a place where they could take part!

As these ‘Mystical Side individuals’ retreated, their gazes turned towards the smoke-shrouded center of the ‘explosion’.

They could not participate!

But that didn’t mean others couldn’t!

For example: ‘Ship Slayer’ Jason!

How did ‘Ship Slayer’ Jason fare after taking that hit?

The ‘Mystical Side individuals’ couldn’t help but wonder.

Some were worried, but many more reveled in his misfortune.

A figure who stood above everyone else would never receive everyone’s support.

Immediately, some ‘Mystical Side individuals’ quickened their pace to leave.

While the remaining individuals appeared hesitant.

They shared the same wish as Tel, Bolun, John, and the ‘Unyielding Brass’ folks—they all sincerely hoped Jason was alright.

But it was too quiet within the smoke!

Not a single sound could be heard.

It seemed as though even the wind was absent.

Darkness enshrouded that area, eerily silent, just like a dead pond.

The people on the ground couldn’t find any trace of Jason.

The ‘Angel Envoy’ soaring a kilometer up in the sky also failed to locate Jason.

Was he dead just like that?

The idea surfaced in the ‘Angel Envoy’s’ mind, but it was quickly dismissed.

Although its ‘cannonade’ was absolutely powerful, against someone who couldn’t be ‘melted’ in an instant and could reverse life and death, such an attack could at most severely injure him.

He surely couldn’t have just died like that!

Therefore, this ‘parasite’ ‘virus’ ‘ant’ must have been heavily injured and was now hiding somewhere, recovering from the damage!

Previously inside its body, it had ‘personally witnessed’ Jason’s recovery.

It seemed instantaneous, but still required time.

It was only because it looked so brief that it created the illusion of being instantaneous.

Moreover, based on its understanding, similar low-end forms of ‘immortality’ required consumption.

Opportunity!

One couldn’t give Jason time to recover!

Increase Jason’s consumption!

Deal a fatal blow to Jason!

Thinking this, the ‘Angel Envoy’ no longer hesitated.

It dived down!

It wanted to completely resolve this difficult enemy!

It had not forgotten what it had come to this ‘ground’ for.

It needed to cleanse the ‘ground’.

To make the people of the ‘ground’ feel pain!

Only by feeling ‘pain’ would they become obedient!

The thoughts in its heart made the ‘Angel Envoy’ dive even faster.

Already measuring a hundred meters in size, the distance of a kilometer was nothing for the ‘Angel Envoy.’ Almost as soon as the thought emerged and a decision was made, its figure appeared above the center of the previous explosion.

It began to search for traces of Jason.

The halo atop its head began to rotate slowly.

Light fell, piece by piece.

The surrounding nighttime darkness was dispelled.

But there was nothing!

After a brief shock, the ‘Angel Envoy’ coldly sneered in its heart.

"Dragging your injured body, you avoided this area, didn’t you?”

"Do you think you’re safe now?”

"Naive!”

Thinking this, the light from the halo on its head grew even more blinding, covering a radius of about 500 meters before, now enveloped an area with a radius of 1000 meters.

But still, there was nothing!

This puzzled the ‘Angel Envoy.’

Could he really be dead?

Otherwise, under the embrace of this ‘light,’ it was impossible for any ‘person’ to evade its senses!

Standing still, the ‘Angel Envoy’ pondered.

It was completely unaware of what was beneath its feet.

Light, enveloping its surroundings.

Yet, the shadow still existed!

That was its own shadow!

The ‘light’ cast down from the halo intermingled with its body, forming a ‘shadow’!

Because of the angle, this ‘shadow’ wasn’t large.

But for Jason, it was enough.

Relying on the master-level [War Pattern. Prus. Griffin. Shadow Concealment Body Forging Technique], Jason seemed to blend into the shadow.

Under normal circumstances, the master-level [War Pattern. Prus. Griffin. Shadow Concealment Body Forging Technique] would grant Jason an additional +5 to his stealth and concealment levels, and with the enhancement of the subsidiary talent [Embrace of the Night: Basic Form], he would again, at night, in darkness, within shadows, receive a +3 effect to his stealth and concealment levels.

This meant that at this moment, Jason’s stealth and concealment level was 8!

Starting from the basics, moving through beginner, proficient, adept, expert, master, and unparalleled levels.

The 8th skill level was known as Transcendent!

It meant surpassing mortals!

It represented stepping into another realm!

A realm wholly different from that of mortals!

At this moment, Jason could clearly feel the shadow’s affection for him.

It wrapped around him.

It concealed him.

It made him appear invisible.

It allowed him to merge within it.

The ‘light’ scanned over and over again.

Again and again, it ‘brushed past’ Jason.

Jason adjusted his breathing, knowing that he only had one chance for the attack that was to follow!

He had to seize it!

The ‘foot’ within reach?

That was no longer his target.

His goal was higher!

Jason’s gaze continually moved upward, finally settling on the halo atop the Angel Envoy’s head.

He slowly crouched down.

The muscles in his legs began to store strength.

Then, he abruptly leapt from the ground!

Bang!

Jason shot out from the shadow like a crocodile lurking in a swamp, leaping up towards its prey.

The instant Jason left the shadow, the Angel Envoy spotted him, immediately smashing down with a punch.

But Jason was faster!

By the time the punch was thrown, Jason had already clung to the Angel Envoy’s knee, then, like a nimble monkey, he shifted to the back of the Angel Envoy’s knee.

Next, he continuously climbed up along the back of the Angel Envoy’s knee.

The humanoid Angel Envoy also retained the characteristics inherent to joints.

It couldn’t bend backward.

Trying to attack Jason who was behind it turned out to be quite difficult.

Its swift and agile hands became awkward at this moment.

Every attack fell through!

Missed!

Missed!

And missed again!

While Jason climbed higher and higher!

The waist, back, neck!

Quickly, Jason reached its head!

Anger!

An anger like a volcanic eruption began to stir in the Angel Envoy’s heart.

It, a great Angel Envoy, was actually being stepped on by a person?

This drove the Angel Envoy into a frenzy, into recklessness.

"You ant!”

"Accept ‘God’s’ judgment!”

The Angel Envoy roared loudly.

Then, its weird, deformed hands first dropped, slowly rising afterward.

Quickly, the hands were raised above its head.

However, they weren’t separated on each side.

But crossed!

The Angel Envoy’s hands were crossed above its head.

The strange, deformed hands somehow took on an elegant air, and the halo hovering about 15 meters above its head burst out with an unmatched brilliance.

The night sky was suddenly illuminated.

As if the night had passed, welcoming the day.

But this day was filled with a killing intent.

Invisible forces filled the space, omnipresent.

They attacked any living thing within the radius of 1000 meters with a frenzy.

Amidst the dense sounds of strikes that drove one insane, there was only the Angel Envoy’s low chant—

"Let everything return to nothingness!”
