Chapter 597 Fired Up
Cuiolt of lightning crackling into life, its electric arcs causing cracks in the ground, the pressure weighing down on everyone present. Even Ty and John could feel their knees buckling under the raw force of it.
Finally, The book-wielding man lifted a single finger, and a tiny glowing dot formed at its tip. "Poison's Touch!" he said, his voice a menacing whisper. The dot hovered at the end of his finger, glowing with a sinister light. Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire@@@@
The book-wielding man spread his arms wide, all the different energies swirling together in a terrifying display of raw, unfettered power. "Now go and die, you damned demon, and you—other weakling." His voice echoed in the chamber, filled with malice. "I'll write about your pathetic demise when I ascend to the top!"
The book-wielding man swiped his hand across his chest, and the attack launched forward, a chaotic maelstrom of light, flame, lightning, and poison streaking towards Ty and John. It tore across the room, the air vibrating from its sheer power.
Ty's eyes narrowed, and his mind raced. "Do you have a plan for this? Or do I need to try something insane?" he asked, his eyes steady as he locked his gaze on John, waiting for a response. He considered, for the briefest moment, letting the demon take over. The idea lingered, the promise of overwhelming power tantalizingly close.
Before Ty could dwell on the thought, John let out a dry chuckle. The green tint of poison that had spread across his face was now completely gone. "Nah," he said, sounding almost amused. "I planned for this actually. But if this doesn't work perfectly, you better come up with something quick."
Ty's eyes shifted upward, noticing the sky through the shattered roof, the clouds parting to reveal a floating rectangular sphere far above them. He took a deep breath, recognizing the presence. "She's watching," he thought, his resolve hardening.
Sliding his hand to his waist, he grabbed the hilt of the sword Erebos had given him. He exhaled slowly, channeling his flames through the blade, the burning sensation searing his skin but fueling his determination. He pushed off the broken wall, his body blurring forward. In a blink, a trail of black energy seared through the air, Ty slicing through the broken barrier with precision. He reached Cui, his sword cutting clean through his chest.
The book-wielding man, still holding his cracked force field, froze in disbelief. His jaw dropped slightly, his eyes wide as he muttered, "How... did you... know...?"
Cui crumpled to the ground, his body lifeless. The book-wielder's will seemed to shatter, and he fell to his knees, the fight leaving his eyes.
The drone hovered silently for a moment before flaring a bright message: "First Round Over!"
Ty stood still, his heart pounding in his chest as time seemed to stop. The thud of Cui's body hitting the ground echoed in his ears, the weight of it almost palpable. He felt something sink inside him—a hollow sensation that twisted in his gut. A strange glow emanated from Cui's lifeless form, a small blue orb lifting out of the corpse, drifting upward as if it were trying to escape into the sky.
Ty's eyes widened as a chain shot out from his blade, the burning sensation in his arm intensifying. The silver tendrils extended higher, wrapping around his arm with a relentless force. He watched in disbelief as the orb resisted for a moment before being pulled down, dragged into the blade as a whirlwind of energy surged around him. The tendrils retracted, and Ty's strength gave out, his knee hitting the ground with a dull thud.
