Chapter 1691: Chapter 1152: Just a Fool Being Used_2

That is the skill befitting a witch and a serial killer.

He isn’t the type to simply watch others unleash their power. In fact, if possible, he’d choose to kill the other party with the easiest and most effortless means before they can fully show their strength.

This means he excels at ambush and assassination.

"Aow!"

A ferocious black giant beast suddenly launched an attack from behind the retreating Reiger, coming with great momentum and aggression, like a werewolf lurking in the shadows pouncing on its prey.

"Boom!"

Without any hesitation, Reiger detonated the still-gathering aurora, causing beams as thick as stone pillars to explode on the spot.

The blinding light explosion simultaneously hit Reiger and the black giant beast, blasting them both away.

"[Jade Dog]!"

"[Great Serpent]!"

"[Nue]!"

"[Full Elephant]!"

"[Bull Charge]!"

Using the remaining repulsive force to push away the impact from the light explosion, Reiger flew backwards unharmed, calmly manipulating his shadow to form one shikigami after another.

With Reiger’s current capability in spells, he can summon shadow shikigami from [Ten Shadow Techniques] even without forming hand seals, just like he can manifest the array of Demonic Void above his head anytime and anywhere.

"Roar!"

"Screech!"

"Aow!"

Upon Reiger’s call, one shikigami after another emerged from his shadow, roaring as they charged towards the black giant beast.

This time, Reiger completed the summoning by injecting a massive amount of curse power into the technique with [Curse Power Release].

With the amplification of [Curse Power Release], Reiger’s spell output surged beyond imagination, the injection of abundant curse power rendered each shikigami enormously large, none smaller than the black giant beast.

Particularly, the Great Serpent, already known for its massive size, had become incomparably gigantic, capable of engulfing the entire waist of the black giant beast with just the opening of its mouth.

The two jade dogs were not lacking either, one white and one black, resembling two other giant beasts, barking as they lunged at the black giant beast, causing it to roar in continuous frustration.

"Screech!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The Nue in the sky flapped its wings, sending countless thick bolts of lightning cascading downwards, densely striking the black giant beast, altering the ferocity in its eyes as it hurriedly manipulated the black storm to defend itself.

For a time, the black storm and the omnipresent thunder clashed incessantly, producing ceaseless rumbling, howling, and exploding sounds.

The world formed by the black storm became precarious instantly, with lightning dropping everywhere, and storms sweeping all around, creating an overwhelming scene, making one doubt if the end of the world was upon them.

"Mr. Reiger!"

Matthew called out to Reiger, seemingly wanting to come down to assist.

"Don’t worry, it’ll be over soon."

Reiger nevertheless held onto Matthew, traversing gracefully among the black storm and endless lightning like a radiant streak of light, swift and dazzling.

He didn’t put Matthew down, also as a precaution.

This space originally belonged to the opponent, who moved stealthily within the storm, potentially launching sudden attacks without warning, making defense nearly impossible, so Reiger dared not easily leave Matthew aside.

Beryl was originally after Matthew and wasn’t any virtuous knight, Reiger could bet boldly that if he dared to leave Matthew alone nearby, Beryl would seize the opportunity to stab Matthew’s back, extracting her heart.

In the original work, victims weren’t lacking who were assassinated by Beryl from behind, yet you never knew when he’d suddenly strike you from the back.

Perhaps, one moment you were chatting and laughing with him, and in the next, he’d whimsically attack from behind, taking your life.

Reiger wouldn’t gamble on Beryl’s character, thus he chose to keep Matthew by his side.

Moreover, he wasn’t wrong; it would be over soon.

"Boom!!!"

As the black giant beast was grappled by the Great Serpent and tangled with the two jade dogs, a robust bull with muscles bulging like rocks charged in with an unbeatable momentum, crashing heavily onto it.

The astonishing impact on the black giant beast sent it flying like a ball, bleeding continuously.

"Boom!!!"

Before the black giant beast could land, another massive figure thunderously fell from the sky, heavily striking its body.

It was the Full Elephant, second in size only to the Great Serpent on the scene.

The Full Elephant, sturdier than the Bull Charge, descended like a meteor from the sky, unleashing water vapor around it like surging waves, forming an ocean instantly, filling the entire alien space.

"Aow!"

Beryl let out a scream like he was hit by a meteor, submerged in water, the impact momentarily displacing the surrounding waters, creating a vacuum zone as waves continued to surge.

"Oh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah....!"

Beryl seemed to have gone berserk, struggling fiercely, his tail flying in an attempt to knock off the Full Elephant stepping on him, while violent claw light blasted the approaching jade dogs, then collided with the roaring Great Serpent, displaying a ferocity and frenzy that even Koyanskaya never exhibited.

But, that was all he could manage.

"Boom!!!"

With another thunderous collision, the charging Bull Charge rammed into Beryl once more, leaving him vomiting blood ceaselessly.

[Bull Charge] is a purely offensive shikigami where the longer the straight dash and run distance, the stronger the impact force generated upon collision.

Granting such a shikigami the opportunity to run and a distance to dash is undeniably a wrong choice.

Unaware of this fact, Beryl was instantly blown away by a force far more astonishing than the previous collision, vanishing into the black storm without a trace.

"Screech!"

Witnessing this scene, the Nue in the sky immediately shrieked, sending down more and thicker lightning, manifesting an apocalyptic vista of descending storms, continuously bombarding the entire alien space.

"Rumble——"

The Full Elephant also raised its long trunk, its surroundings stirring with water currents, forming layers of waves rolling in all directions, submerging the entire alien space into water.

Amid such chaos, Beryl emitted further wails, seemingly struck by lightning within the black storm and swept away by the rolling waves, unable to control himself.

"Amazing, so powerful..."

Matthew, held in Reiger’s arms, was shocked seeing this scene.

She knew Reiger was formidable, but didn’t expect him to accomplish even this.

Those mysterious summons, and powers akin to controlling nature, were just like deity displaying its authority, earth-shaking and magnificent.

"In the end, even the real deal was defeated by me, so how dare you, a counterfeit, come before me to stir trouble like this?"

Hovering in the air, Reiger seemed to be speaking with Beryl as if conversing omnisciently.

"I have grown stronger since then, whereas you have become weaker than Koyanskaya of that time, so the result turning out like this is only natural, isn’t it?"

Speaking so, Reiger freed one hand, allowing Matthew to lean on him, one hand embraced around her waist, while the other suddenly gripped the black blade appearing in his palm.

"You think you look cool like this?"

"You think this is a sincere way to confess love?"

"But in my eyes, you’re just a fool being used."

"Just like that silly girl you once exploited."

As the words fell, Reiger’s hand holding the blade lifted, and black sparks of electricity burst from the sword instantly.

"Psshh!"

The black blade sliced down effortlessly, severing the space, splitting the entire alien space in two and causing an immediate collapse.
