Chapter 144 - 144: Killing Master Troy

Even though he looked like a madman for a few seconds, he wasn't truly one, as he appreciated his own life and had no intention of dying.

So, his maniac laughter didn't last for long and thinking deeper about the situation he couldn't take the two beauties with him where he was headed to, but he couldn't let them there either.

Without losing much time he quickly sent the two of them inside Gaia, as he once again activated his camouflage and approached the center of the explosion.

The more he approached though the more fearful he felt, as slowly he was being faced with true destruction on his path.

At his previous location, there was only the shivering of the trees and the damages caused by their fall, but now in front of his eyes, the trees were either uprooted or burned by more than half.

Most of the trees were still burning, despite being left nothing more than 1 meter above the ground.

The more he approached the shorter the burning trees became, as slowly they weren't even higher than 20 centimeters and still going down.

He still felt like there was a good 500-1000 meters until he approached the true center, as the fear and excitement inside him grew bigger.

If he had been on the center of this attack, without an opportunity of escape, then he would have no other choice but to disintegrate in nail-size small burnt pieces.

Even though he was in his camouflage, and still approaching the site he still was unable to control the shivers his body was going through from the emotions at that point.

But no matter what, he had no intention of stopping as he continued forward, only to finally get a vision of what was going in front of him.

There was one injured and burned body in his sight, and also a badly mutilated corpse in front of it, but the moment he approached a 100 meters radius from them, he felt danger.

He didn't understand what or how these two guys were supposed to be dead. He had felt no signs of life from neither of them at that moment when he heard a peal of weird laughter and a hoarse voice,

"Hhahahha~! Gorg you idiot, despite burning your blood essence and using your full power, you still didn't manage to kill me, and instead will become my pill towards rebirth!

Hhahahaha~!"

The sight in front of Roy was extremely ugly and horrific, even more so when one added the look and voice of that lumpy meat thing.

But at the same time, that made him apprehensive towards the possible danger in front of him, as he stopped to have a better look at what was going on in front of him.

Since he felt like he didn't have the time to take his time while dealing with this thing, he immediately spread his 'sense area' to understand better.

The moment he did that his face underwent some changes, as he finally understood what was going on, as he saw the lines of the "Blood Absorption Formation"!

As someone who already had the hard copy of the Blood Secret Arts, he was perfectly aware of this special formation, and its strength.

Furthermore, as someone who had started training this Art with the blood of beasts, and animals he also was able to notice the changes between the human blood and beast blood.

So, he was able to directly determine that the blood used for the formation wasn't animal or beast blood, but human blood.

Even though he had already killed his fair share of people, robbed them of their belongings, and even tortured quite a few of them, Roy still was unable to accept what was going on in front of him.

Enraged, and unable to control his feelings and emotions at that moment, he immediately undid his camouflage, as a large blob of Acid came into creation on top of that lumpy piece of meat shit.

"Who…Aaaaarrrggghhh~! You bastarddddd~! I will kill youuu~! Aaaarrrggggghhh~!"

Master Troy, or what was left of him anyways was unable to ask for the identity of the new arrival, as he felt his body, or what was left of it burn in pain, and smoke.

The pain was being transmitted through any single nerve of his body. A pain that he was unable to bear, and that didn't make much sense to him that was a Fire Mage.

After all, as a Fire Mage, he shouldn't feel the pain of burning from the flames, only if the flames are purer than his, or he is facing a stronger Mage than himself.

But it was clear that it was neither case, so he was unable to understand what it was exactly. After all, Acid was a truly rare magic element.

He tried many times to use his Fire Magic Power in order to protect himself from the burn but the more he tried it, the more pain did he feel.

It was like his fire and his flames were working against him, worsening his conditions and increasing the attack of his enemy.

On the other hand, Roy didn't stop throwing Acid Balls at that damned thing no matter how much he screamed in pain.

Even when he went completely silent, he still didn't stop throwing his Acid Balls on the thing that was left in front of him, as he used a few of them to break the formation.

He knew that even though that bastard was in a terrible condition right now, and was on his last breath, he was still stronger than him, and it wouldn't be easy to kill him.

Especially with that formation working on the background for him, as he was absorbing everything from Master Gorg's dead body.

A lean camel is still stronger than a horse!

With those thoughts in his mind, he firstly destroyed the formation, and then kept attacking with his Acid Balls.

It was only when his acidic magic power of a Rank 3 Acidic Mage was finished that he finally stopped attacking and used his 'sense area' to check on the conditions of that thing.

He didn't do that for a single moment either, as he kept concentrating on it for more than a minute when he suddenly felt an extremely weak heartbeat.

'Motherfu*cker you dare to play dead in front of this father!'

With those thoughts in mind, he didn't hesitate to send as many wind blades as he could towards whatever was remaining of Master Troy's body, and at the same time making Earth Spike pierce him from below.

Before the remaining part could react to Roy's move, it was already chopped in many parts, which were all skewed by the earth spikes, finally confirming the death of Master Troy.

It was only at that moment that Roy could finally feel some sense of relief once again, as he used whatever magic power he had left, to bring three of his titanic cats from Gaia.

With that done, he was unable to continue standing anymore, as he fell to the ground exhausted.

…

He didn't know how long he had been sleeping unconscious when he finally opened his eyes and was able to feel the sun rays striking his face for the first time after so long.

After all, despite the fact that he could feel the presence of the sun, and it's light inside the Death Forest, it was impossible for him to actually be able to have a look at it.

What surprised him the most though was that the sun he was watching upon at that moment was white, and not yellow like the one from his previous world.

This meant only one thing in his mind, this sun was much bigger than the one of his previous world, and much hotter as well.

Still, at that moment he could only feel its familiar warmth grazing upon his skin, and his body, as he slowly got up from the ground.

Despite the ground being uneven, and his body feeling sore in some places, after a few small exercises of stretching, he could feel his body relaxed and refreshed like never before.

Looking around the spot where he was standing upon, he could see the same sight of destruction that he saw before falling unconscious, as he immediately directed his attention towards Master Troy.

The moment that he saw those pieces of meat, and bones still in different parts, and skewered by the Earth Spikes he could finally calm down his heart a little bit.

That human scum was a truly sly, and dirty piece of shit that he didn't dare to take lightly. One Young Noble Fjord was enough for him to have headaches in the future.

With those thoughts in his mind, he once again spread his 'sense area' in the surroundings to check that the place was safe.

He kept his 'sense area' active for quite some time, when he found out that things seemed okay, he still sent a few Wind Blades, and Earth Spikes towards Master Troy's body, and then approached.

Even though this had been a totally unexpected turn of events, he still had managed to kill a Rank 5 or Rank 6 Fire Mage, while he had most probably killed a Rank 6 Warrior and another two Rank 5 Masters.

For someone like him, who was in dire need of resources to increase his strength, the space rings of these guys were similar to treasure troves that would make even Rank 7 Masters salivate at the sight.

It was impossible for Roy to leave such precious things behind, but as he approached the remainings of Master Troy, he suddenly…
