Chapter 740 Pearls

Dimension Guard loosened his grip as he lowered his sword, then the dark sword again cut off his arm that flew off to the side.

Whoooooosh.

A stream of green flame instantly burned the arm as Marlis appeared in front of the Dimension Guard.

"Let's go! Let's kill him with our next attack!" Marlis exclaimed in a menacing manner before using the skill.

Wain was momentarily puzzled by the strange actions of Dimension Guard but quickly came to his senses as his sword was covered in a dense layer of energy and rushed towards Dimension Guard's neck.

The whip of green flame and the sword simultaneously collapsed on Dimension Guard as his silhouette suddenly blurred. Then, Dimension Guard lunged forward, dodging at the last moment an attack that would have surely killed him.

Boooooom.

There was a massive explosion at the site of the attack because of the energy surge, as the powerful shockwave forced the nearby rivers over the edges and spilled out among the stone pillars.

'Hmm? Did he dodge? But was it worth losing your arm for?' Wain inwardly muttered while drops of water fell on him as though it had begun to rain, then he turned and his eyes opened wide just like Marlis's.

The twice-wounded Dimension Guard reached the center of the lake and came close to the Soul Pearls that floated in the center of the lake.

'He only had to drain the energy out of one monster to fully recover... Damn, that bastard outplayed us.' Wain muttered inwardly as he already realized what was about to happen.

Whoooooosh.

He turned Gladius to the seal, pressed Marlis against him, and turned into a golden beam, moving hundreds of meters away from the lake.

"Stop! What are you doing?! We have to beat him!" Marlis exclaimed as she tried to get out of Wain's grip, but since they were now in the same Chronicle, she was inferior to his physical strength.

Wain glanced at Dimension Guard and with a serious look muttered, "We're late. It's too dangerous to be around him, we have to come up with a new plan of action."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The Dimension Guard touched the Soul Pearl as massive waves of white energy that shook the space departed from it.

At the same time, the swords to the monsters' heads shone brightly as white strands of energy flew out toward the Dimension Guard. Energy flowed through the threads from all six monsters, gradually draining them to complete exhaustion. Then, Dimension Guard grabbed the Soul Pearls, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed them as though they were massive fruits.

Streams of white energy completely covered the Dimension Guard while his aura rapidly increased to incredible amounts.

"Fuck! This wasn't supposed to happen! The Second Rank Dimension Guard wasn't supposed to follow us, and Soul Pearls weren't supposed to be here!" Marlis exclaimed with an angry look while waving her arms.

"Well, we'll get through this anyway, though I'd rather do it myself." Wain said in a calm voice as he canceled the action of the form.

"What? What are you talking about...?" Marlis exclaimed as a powerful pressure interrupted her.

Whooooooooosh.

A massive stream of white energy dissipated, turning into several rings that slowly settled to the ground, revealing the Dimension Guard.

His appearance changed as a cloak of white energy appeared behind him. On his hands were blades, and on his breastplate were many ancient runes that emanated a powerful aura. The thin lightsaber transformed into a colossal two-handed sword, the mass of which made space distort.

"He's reached Third Rank, hasn't he?" Wain asked in a serious manner while his ice-cold gaze literally pierced the Dimension Guard.

"Yeah... If it weren't for the restraining power of the Purgatory Zone, his power would be comparable to that of a Demigod." Marlis uttered with a slight nod as she frowned.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Pillars of flame appeared beside her as she stepped forward and said, "Stay here. I can handle him, though it will be rather problematic."

'',

'Her aura fluctuates so much... Does she want to use her Form?' Wain inwardly muttered as he stared at Marlis, then he sighed, 'Well, I want to check it anyway.'

Wain stretched out his hand, thus stopping Marlis, "I told you I'll fight him myself. Just stand here and watch."

Wain jumped off the ledge as he with a slow step headed toward the Dimension Guard that stood in one place as though waiting for his opponent to be ready.

'Why do I get the feeling there's some connection between these two?' Marlis said to herself as she bit her lip, 'Damn, if Wain dies then Sven will definitely get mad, but what if he can actually handle a Third Rank one? In that case, I'll save a lot of energy... Shit! The choice is too hard!'

Marlis was confused, then she felt a strange chill as all her attention was drawn to Wain.

His coat changed to a cloak of darkness, crumbling into small particles as though flame. A sword of compressed light energy appeared in his hand just as the armor and the translucent spirit above it.

'What is it? His Form? Hmm... How strange, now they emit very similar energy...' Marlis inwardly muttered with a curious look while in confusion.

Wain with a calm look pointed his sword at the Dimension Guard as a streak of dense energy was left in the air.

"I'm not familiar with your power, but if you want to try to absorb mine, I'm willing to accept your challenge. In the end, only one of us will be left, it's simple, isn't it?" Wain said with a deadly ice-cold look as his eyes became as deep as the abyss.

The Dimension Guard stepped forward as a trail of thick white energy was left behind him that was a real treasure for any creature, but for him, it was only a small fraction of the full force.

"Well... You're absolutely right... a carrier of exceptional energy..." Suddenly there was a majestic voice from Dimension Guard.
