Novel Bin 593 Chapter 201
Just in the amount of time it took the observer to make notes about the marital artist that died from falling prey to the monstrous grip of the black-haired man, two more got their arms and torsos burst open just because they used a high-level law of Taurus on him...!
Some people joked that the best offense is a good defense, but this was taking it to a whole other level!
As the observer gulped his saliva, holding back nausea, some other martial artist tore his own leg off by attempting to roundhouse kick the black-haired man\'s head.
No – it was not an attempt – the law of Taurus-augmented kick was executed perfectly and it connected right where it was intended to.
Still, the result was what it was.
The black-haired man didn\'t even budge, even his hair didn\'t get ruffled – but the entire leg of the kicking marital artist got turned into a bloody mess and detached from his body, making him a prime target for the unrelenting grip that ended the wounded martial artist\'s suffering.
"The explosive power... it seems on pair with the void star level, but somehow even more wild and violent... Could it be that Guide took on a human form and descended from the firmament to punish us all for trying to step out of the bounds he set for us...?"
The observer\'s hand stopped as he voiced the line he was about to write down and shuddered.
If in the morning, someone showed him the report that he was writing now, he would have a good laugh, ridiculing it to death.
While the man on the rooftop was having a mental crisis, the martial artists down on the ground changed their strategy.
Close combat was clearly not working out – even augmented with the law of Saggitarius energy increasing the capabilities of other laws.
If they attacked too lightly, they got hurt by the backlash.
If they attacked too strongly, they died.
If they got caught, they died.
So instead of continuing the insanity – the survivors switched to ranged combat.
"Law if Sagittarius!"
*BOOOOM* x 4765
The concentrated volley of star energy pierced the air – all attacks aimed perfectly, with not a single beam going astray.
"I\'ve heard of death by thousand cuts... but for it to happen, you need to be capable enough to cause a cut to your target. Give up or run away. I will not pursue."
The black-haired man that looked slightly worn out, not because actually getting tired but just because of his clothes getting crumpled from the star energy phasing through them, laughed.
He took the law of Sagittarius\'s attack from the thirty remaining marital artists and LAUGHED about it.
"Guide protect us...!"
The observer gasped, and felt faint, dropping the brush that he was writing the report with.
The villainous smirk adorning the devilishly handsome face of the black-haired man should not be as terrifying as it was and yet...
The most unsettling part was that the black-haired man seemed to be serious about giving his opponents a chance.
He did not chase anyone. From the start of the large-scale battle – or rather a one-sided slaughter – he did not make more than a dozen steps.
Although it was the reason why the surviving martial artists switched to attacking from a distance, they failed to realize that they could have stopped the fight at any point by simply disengaging from combat.
The beloved child of Sagittarius that sat down immediately after that option became available was completely unharmed – physically, that is...
"Don\'t listen to him!"
"Law of Sagittarius!"
*BOOOOM* x 4765
"HMPH!"
The marital artist continued still, repeating the same attack – the one to do something else this time around was the black-haired man. He waved his hand at the oncoming beams of star power...
*CLANG*
*BOOOOM x42
...AND MANAGED TO RIQOSHETTE SOME OF THEM RIGHT BACK AT THE MARTIAL ARTIST THAT SHOT THEM OUT...!
"GHAAAARGH...!"
Five unfortunate marital artists hit with the returned star power died on the spot with their vitals pierced through while six more were in hardly any condition to continue the fight.
"So it can be done like this too...? Someone\'s in trouble~"
"He is still learning?!"
The black-haired man murmured and his lips were read by the observer on the rooftop, gasping in disbelief.
How was such a thing even possible – that person wasn\'t yet fully aware of the extent of their power?!
Then, he waved his hand not knowing that it will return the beams?!
Insanity...
Pure insanity...
"Hey, kid. Can you use the law of Aries? If yes, do it now."
"...?!"
"?!"
Then the black-haired man spoke making the beloved child of Saggitarius flinch, as well as causing the observer to realize why he originally reached out his hand...
...the ranged attack this time around wasn\'t nearly as focused as the original volley – the man wasn\'t trying to attack or return the attack – he was protecting
the boy from the friendly fire...!
"I can, but only at the first star level... Law of Aries."
Aaron flinched and answered with hesitation, before really using the star power.
"Perfect. Now, I\'m kidnapping you~"
"...?!"
The black-haired man smirked devilishly and the next moment he was already rushing back into the dustcloud the unfocused volley of the law of Sagittarius caused, carrying the young marital artist by the scruff of his clothes like a little, extremely confused kitten.
"HUH?!"
The part that made even the skilled observer compromise his position and call out in shock was that when the black-haired man emerged on the other side of the duscloud he was not carrying one but two people – the beloved child of Sagittarius, and a young reddish-brown-haired man wearing a carefully stylized uniform.
"Where is he planning to go? Isn\'t he slower than some of those... MEN?!"
The observer gasped to himself, just to have his eyes bulge out when the speed of the black-haired man increased exponentially as if he suddenly gained a few star levels in the law of Capricorn.
"What now?! Was he holding back his real strength or was he MEDITATING WHILE FIGHTING?! WHO IS HE?! THIS... this is terrible...! This endangers every single plan we have in moton...!"
The observer gave up any pretense of secrecy and stood up, shouting after the black-haired man who disappeared into the distance, successfully abducting two people.
