Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 611 - 609: I Am a Madman, You Are but Ants!
Chapter 611: Chapter 609: I Am a Madman, You Are but Ants!
"I didn’t finish what I was saying earlier," Martin spoke out and glanced at the somewhat surprised Muse. "I said earlier that it would be difficult for you to hit me. What I want to add now is, even if you did actually hit me, you wouldn’t be able to inflict any real harm on me. Because I am no longer made up of flesh, but of special energy. You cannot crush the heart of an energy being; on the contrary, this energy being can certainly crush your heart!"
The moment he finished speaking, Martin’s body swelled in size, from just over one meter to more than three meters tall, floating in mid-air, his human features already very blurred, almost resembling a light ball. At this time, numerous slender arms emerged on the surface of this light ball and viciously attacked Muse.
If a normal person has two arms, then at this moment, Martin had more than ten, his fighting power skyrocketing, with even Muse only managing to barely defend herself.
"Bang bang bang!"
The crowd of wizards could do nothing but watch, powerless to intervene, as Martin and Muse battled it out.
Muse fought back against Martin’s numerous glowing arms with her own two arms; each collision produced a thunderous noise that made the entire space tremble. However, two arms were ultimately too few, and during the melee, Muse kept getting hit by Martin, incurring increasingly serious injuries.
Domination!
Gradually, Martin managed to dominate Muse!
Eventually, Muse was seen battered and in a sorry state.
One arm hung limp and broken in front of her chest, her neck was twisted, blood continuously flowed from her head. Most frightening of all was the severe deformation of the left side of her face, her eye nearly popping out of its socket, with blood constantly seeping out.
Martin slowed his assault, not out of pity, but to prepare a more powerful attack, ready to kill Muse outright.
Severely wounded, Muse watched the flickering light of Martin’s energy body without fear. Instead, she shook her head in slight disappointment and said, "So, this is the effect of your most powerful spell? It’s nothing special."
"You’re still spouting nonsense at a time like this!" Martin responded while preparing his powerful attack, addressing Muse. "Even if you want to boast, you should take care of your eye that’s about to pop out first, right?"
"Hmm?" Muse’s eyebrows shot up, and she reached out a hand, pointing at her damaged eye, and said, "You mean this?"
"To me, is this thing really worth paying much attention to? It’s just a part of the body’s vessel," Muse spoke, then reached directly into her eye socket, and with a grating sound, she dug her own eye out.
That wasn’t the most horrifying part. The next moment, Muse opened her mouth, placed the eye inside, and with a tilt of her neck, she swallowed it with a "gulp."
This!
The other wizards were shocked, feeling their hair stand on end and a chill run down their spines. Through the long years, they had encountered many people and quite a few evil wizards, but they had never seen anyone like Muse. Because even the evil wizards were only cruel to others, whereas Muse didn’t spare herself either.
This was not merely evil; it was madness, the behavior of someone mentally deranged!
Martin also found this surprising, his energy body flickering a few times, he said to Muse, "You really are a madwoman, aren’t you?"
"What, just because I ate my own eye, you think I’m crazy?" Muse sneered at everyone, the remaining eye showing a look of pity and disdain. "Pitiful ants, you can never understand things that exist on a higher plane than yours. There’s truth in the saying, ’When mortals ponder, true gods laugh.’ With your shallow perceptions, you’ll never, ever grasp the true nature of this world."
"Say whatever you like," Martin said. "But you’re unable to withstand me, even if you’ve eaten your eye, I will still kill you!"
"Oh, is that so!" Muse shook her head slightly. "It seems you still haven’t understood something; that an ant causing a few bites on a human doesn’t mean it can really defeat a human. It’s just a pastime of boredom for humans.
Don’t you understand, fighting with you people is quite boring. To amuse myself, I deliberately let your spells succeed, to see the effects of your casting. Or did you really think a swarm of ants could stop me?
But now, I’ve seen enough to realize that your spell effects aren’t anything special, at least compared to some of the resistance I’ve encountered long ago—hardly worth mentioning. Ah, truly, it’s a step back with every generation."
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, Muse used her right hand to snap her broken left arm back into place, regaining some movement. Her expression turned murderous, and a cold aura emanated from her body enveloping the entire area, sending shivers down everyone’s spine. The many wizards changed color in fear, and Martin, too, felt uneasy, hastening his preparation to unleash his powerful attack.
"Alright, by now, I’ve grown tired of wasting time," Muse continued. "Wasting any more time is pointless, so let me put an end to all this."
"Crack!"
With a crisp crack, Muse readjusted her skewed neck with both hands, her gaze icy as she watched Martin.
Martin’s powerful attack was ready, and without hesitation, he released it. A dazzling energy light burst forth, like a Golden Greatsword, viciously stabbing toward Muse.
With this stab, the entire night sky lit up as if it had pierced through the darkness, driving away the endless night.
With this stab, it was as if the most holy power in the world had been gathered, an unstoppable momentum that could break and conquer anything!
With this stab, the whole space seemed to resonate, emitting a buzzing sound as a terrifying energy wave exploded.
At that moment, Muse suddenly leaped up, her body enveloped in a thick blood-colored energy, like a meteor colliding with the Golden Greatsword, and with a punch, she struck.
"Crash!"
In an instant, the Golden Greatsword shattered, and the terrifying energy wave dissipated into nothingness.
Muse’s speed undiminished, she fiercely charged at Martin’s glowing body and threw another punch.
Martin roared in defense, but it was utterly useless.
"Crash!"
Again, with just one blow, Martin’s body exploded into countless light dots like fireflies, softly falling down and quickly extinguishing upon touching the ground.
"Snap!"
Amongst the "Light Rain," Muse landed, her legs bending slightly before she straightened up. The blood color vanished from her surface, returning to normal. She turned around, her face expressionless, looking at the many Wizards remaining.
"Let me guess!" Muse said, addressing all the Wizards, "Among the rest of you, there must still be someone with a confident trick up their sleeve. Why not bring it out and let me see?"
No one responded. Instead, some began to retreat, moving back several dozen meters, then suddenly shot up into the sky, attempting to escape.
But before they could get very high, a scream pierced the air as one of them fell back to the ground like a bird with broken wings, seriously injured and near death.
People looked to where the injured Wizard had tried to flee, catching a glimpse of a Black Shadow that flashed and disappeared.
Someone guessed the possibility and spoke out, "It’s Sieg, that old bastard Sieg."
"Does that mean we truly can’t leave?"
"Sieg mustn’t have planned for us to leave when he brought us here."
"This..."
"Alright, gentlemen!" Muse spoke out, looking at the many Wizards, "You can’t run, so why not continue to attack me to prove your toughness and defiance?"
"Dammit! Taking this crazy woman down!" someone shouted, and in a moment of desperation, the remaining Wizards attacked Muse together.
Muse let out a light chuckle, "That sounds more like it!"
She stomped on the ground and met the charge of the many Wizards.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Brilliant Spells exploded continuously, remarkably conspicuous against the night sky.
