Chapter 832 Crushing A Blood Heir

The blue sky was swallowed by flames as Alvira went all out against Varian.

From the sea of red flames, a bunch of blue fires shot out and reached the young man.

Following them from behind was Alvira.

"Just eighteen? But you're as strong as me." Alvira twisted her fingers as she manipulated the deadly blue flames to engulf the human.

Facing the blue flames that could melt even the most defensive metals of the federation, Varian smirked and swatted. "You're wrong, I'm not as strong as you."

His left hand elementalized into ice and expanded into a huge ice shield.

The space around the flames cracked apart and swallowed a fourth of them before they even reached him. An invisible telekinetic force pushed away a fifth of the remaining flames.

Varian brought down the power of the flames to nearly half and easily faced it with his ice shield.

He looked at Alvira's hardening expression with a teasing but cold smile. "I'm stronger, bitch."

Alvira slapped the air in rage but Varian teleported before her attack could even materialize.

"You rat!" Alvira's body dispersed into countless sparks before realigning a hundred miles away.

The location she previously stood at was now engulfed in lightning, and ice and further riddled with broken space.

If she hadn't retreated right away, Varian's attacks would've struck her.

Alvira retrieved a spear from her storage ring and vigilantly looked around. Her fire sense was on full alert to escape from any sneak attack Varian could make, but this way, she was completely passive.

"If you're strong, why are you still using sneak attacks?" She tried to provoke him.

Having lived on the battlefield for years, Alvira had long grown indifferent to such tactics, but her opponent was just eighteen years old. So, he'd value things like honor and valor more—

Her fire sense picked a spatial fluctuation ten miles to her left.

"Got you!" Alvira's fire mana channeled into her spear and the weapon shone with a dangerous red glow.

It blurred slightly and at a speed equivalent to that of a level 9, the spear reached the location of the spatial disturbance. Right then, the space in the area twisted and tore as the teleportation was finished.

Then, the spear smashed with the invader and a terrible explosion shook the entire skies.

Everything went red in the world for a moment before the rumbling of a hundred thunders reverberated across the planetoid.

Alvira kept her eyes wide open as she peered through the explosion to find the corpse of that dastardly hu—

"Huh?!" Alvira suddenly jerked.

The space five miles behind her fluctuated.

"What the—" As she channeled her mana and was midway in elementalizing in an attempt to dodge, Varian's fist reached her stomach.

As if she was hit by a speeding truck, Alvira was blasted into the clouds as she spat out blood.

"Are you a blood fountain?" Varian's mocking voice sounded directly in her mind.

Alvira gnashed her teeth and channeled her mana into two fire wings behind her. With a mighty flap, she stopped in her tracks and with another flap, she shot toward Varian.

A wavering blue fire mana covered her—from the tip of her fingers to the edges of her long brown hair.

She morphed herself into a sword of fire and headed for Varian's neck.

Her voice, laced with killing intent, sounded. "Even though I'm not the one supposed to be doing this, I can't rest until I personally kill Alec's murderer."

The fire suddenly accelerated and reached Varian's neck in a blink.

Varian sidestepped at the last moment and his hand grabbed the hilt of the sword at the last moment.

The sword was moving at a ridiculously high speed, but Varian managed to stand in place after holding it instead of being carried away.

But stopping that fast sword so suddenly was the same as a rocket freezing midway. As a result, the air exploded and a large shockwave swept the entire planetoid.

Varian's arm holding the sword shook violently as the fire sword tried to burn him to ashes.

Even though he covered his hand with an ice shield and further solidified his defense with solid space, Varian felt his blood literally boil.

Varian gritted his teeth and attacked the Abyssal's mind.

The fire sword grew unstable and began to shake. Alvira's transformation was partially undone!

Without wasting the chance, Varian violently clenched his fist with full force and poured his ice mana into the fire sword. "Chill the fuck out!"

The fire sword exploded into pieces and a fire shockwave spread out, accompanied by the tragic scream of a female Abyssal.

Alvira appeared a hundred miles away, her face pale and her body riddled with injuries.

She looked at Varian with an incredulous gaze.

Compared to her, Varian only had minor burns on his right arm and slightly serious injuries on his palm.

Oh wait, his injuries were healing at a visible rate!

Frustrated but unwilling to admit defeat, Alvira curled her lips and mocked. "Is the so-called Deva inheritor so weak he can't even kill me?"

Varian merely smiled at her attempt to rile him up. "I didn't kill you in one shot because I like to hear your pained screams."

His response riled up Alvira as she looked at him with hatred.

Even if he wanted to, Varian couldn't one-shot her. But Alvira didn't know. So, she really thought Varian was dragging out the battle to make fun of her.

Thinking so, she felt her entire body burn with rage. But deep inside that rage was also an emotion even she didn't realize.

'W-Was it just my illusion or did his water mana grow stronger compared to his first strike?'

Fear.

Fear of the unknown.

'I shouldn't have started this battle, but now I can't leave. He won't let me.' Alvira gritted her teeth and channeled her fire mana to prepare for a suicidal battle.

"Let's end this in the next sho—Oh?" Varian raised his head and narrowed his eyes. "If you want to die so badly, I will grant your wish."

Saying so, he pointed his palm at a tiny dot in outer space.

"What?!" Alvira hurriedly spread her fire sense and checked the space above.

Varian's palm glowed with golden blue light and an ice spear made with a crystallized lightning tip materialized in his hand.

Varian's telekinetic power charged at the bottom of the spear and the space around the weapon loosened.

Then, Varian threw the spear with all his strength.

A huge shockwave spread out due to the sheer speed of the spear launch and the spear traveled two hundred miles in a split second before exploding on its target.

A few seconds later, another female Abyssal fell from the sky. Even though she had only minor injuries, her face was filled with hatred.

She didn't even glance at Alvira and transformed into a flood dragon. "I, Veritas Striker, will avenge my brother Vlad's death."

"…But I killed only one crimson Abyssal," Varian said with an innocent face.

"You fucking liar! Die!" The flood dragon lashed at him with its tail.

"Liar? Me?" Varian grabbed the tail and charged it with lightning. "A shock treatment will make it clear."

"Arghhhh!"

The tragic screams of a flood dragon filled the skies.
