Amon, The Legendary Overlord

147 Chapter 147



The genetic circuits in the tentacles of Ariel's battle mode were visible only for a few brief moments as they flailed around rapidly. Four tentacles forcefully attacked with agility the four people who had rushed her.

*POW! POW! POW! POW!*

The impact echoed like the sound of a strong blow; it was as loud as a slap.

Ariel laughed as her whip began to spin in the air the moment she lifted her hand. As the speed increased, a whirlwind formed and the sound of cutting wind echoed.

*Whoosh!*

*BOOM!*

Sheron, who was approaching as well, managed to dodge just a little and sweat dripped from her face when she saw the mark on the floor where she had stood caused by the whip. She believed that if she had been hit, she would have been disfigured if the blow had hit her face. Worse was Ariel's smile as she looked at her, which somehow made her shiver in fear. She hadn't felt that much fear when facing other participants who had also created the first genetic factor.

'This girl is scary!' Sheron screamed in her mind. She now understood whyAriel was so bold in defying them all.

The fight had barely begun, and they were already at a disadvantage. The girl on her team who was struck by a tentacle had almost broken her arm when defending herself, leaving a red mark that started to swell visibly. The three boys, meanwhile, had their faces hit, leaving behind scary looking marks.

"How am I going to approach her like this?" Sheron muttered in a frustrated tone.

She only then realized how high Ariel's defense was the instant she was attacked so quickly and accurately. She had confidence in her agility, but it looked like she was outclassed.

Sheron glanced at her team, though they didn't look like they would be of much help. 'If only they could distract her long enough for me to get closer...'

"Finished thinking of a plan?"

"What?!?" Sheron jumped back, but only then noticed that Ariel was still far away from her. 'Telepathy?!'

Sharon was one of the few people who knew a little about psychic genes, but telepathy was one of the hardest spells to learn. No wonder she was so surprised to find out how she heard Ariel's voice as if she had whispered it in her ear.

"Hahahaha~!"

Ariel's laugh echoed again, this time it was a more sincere laugh as if she'd seen something funny happen.

"You're funny! I liked you~" Ariel said with a chuckle. Her voice was now extremely pleasant as she spoke. Those who listened, even if they were women, were drawn to her. Not speaking in a romantic way, but rather, like listening to a beautiful voice singing a beautiful old song, causing them to want to listen longer.

"I hate you!" declared Sharon. She also hated herself a little for an instant to be bewitched, having found the way Ariel spoke before cute.

"A tsundere?" Ariel laughed as she said, "So cute~"

"You…!" Sheron turned red with rage when talking to Ariel and went on the attack again, "I will defeat you!"

"Hoho! The last person who told me that ended up in the cemetery~" Ariel hissed.

"Y-You killed someone because of a battle?" Sheron recoiled with fear visible in her eyes.

"Huh? No, he went to work at the cemetery as a gravedigger- hahaha!" Sheron's reaction was so funny that she couldn't help but laugh out loud. Not just her, even the audience was laughing. The way the two were interacting was more interesting than the real reason for the fight.

"You...You,you!..."

"Me what?" Almost as if she had teleported, Ariel appeared before Sheron. This time her voice was very close, and it wasn't because of telepathy. On instinct, Sheron attacked with her claws, but Ariel managed to dodge all of her attacks in a row and even punched Sheron in the stomach, making her retreat more than ten meters.

With her hands on her stomach, Sheron groaned in pain. She had to be careful with her claws as she put her hands on her stomach while looking at Ariel with anger and fear at the same time. She didn't notice when Ariel approached, and was surprised by Ariel's parry. Her attacks were quick, but Ariel had seemed to anticipate every blow and dodged so easily...

'Wait... Now that I'm very close, this is my chance!' Despite being pushed away, she saw Ariel approach.

Almost like ventriloquism, Sheron began reciting a high-level long spell. Because she wore a long-sleeved blouse, one couldn't see her genetic veins on her hands, yet she purposely stopped the genetic circulation in her wrist, not wanting to alert Ariel.

"Now!!"

Fire attacks came towards Ariel, but with flexibility, she dodged nimbly.

*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*

Strings of attacks fell to the ground, and because of that, Ariel was more than ten meters away from Sheron.

"Idiots!!" Sharon was furious.

Just when she thought she would have the upper hand, setting a trap for Ariel, the four members of her team had chosen that moment to attack Ariel, causing her to pull even further away from Sharon. The spell had already ended and her hand started to be covered in ice, even the claws had grown in length. With almost 50 cm per blade, it was quite intimidating. Her aura itself had changed, getting more powerful, however, this was a buff that only lasted a few seconds and took a while to be recited, as well as it would consume a lot of her genetics.

*Whoosh!*

While she yelled at her team members, she still had some hope. She charged toward Ariel when she was dodging Sharon's allies' attacks. It was as if fissures had opened in the air and ice blades left marks on the ground. However, the range of the attack Sharon had prepared was small, reaching only seven meters away...

"Oh? Lucky~" Ariel said and laughed shortly after seeing Sheron and her team members furious with guilt. Ariel's sarcastic way of speaking made Sheron's anger only increase. Their team shuddered at the same time as they felt Sheron's gaze.

Meanwhile, the audience was applauding for Ariel's good luck and the beautiful way she had dodged the attacks of four people at once.
