Chapter 70: Leaving [1] - Retreat
In the back of a Gothic castle, two figures faced each other in the middle of a training ground, while two other figures stood on the side.
The ones fighting were Alpha and the Owl Devil, while the people observing them were Liora and Scurry.
As the Owl Devil stared at Alpha, his eyes flashed with utmost seriousness.
And from the beginning, he didn’t hold back in the slightest.
Opening his old book, he flapped his wings, causing ink to emerge from it and float in the air.
With another wave of his wings, the ink merged, quickly transforming into an arsenal of different weapons.
Swords, spears, arrows, axes...
Every single piece of weaponry could be seen among them.
Following the Owl Devil’s commands, the weapons shot toward Alpha like arrows leaving their bowstring.
Reality itself seemed to bend around those weapons.
In just a split second, they had moved from their original positions, teleporting before Alpha.
Alpha’s expression remained the same, aloof and indifferent.
Facing the countless weapons, she didn’t choose to dodge or defend but instead stayed still.
Just as a sword of ink looked about to pass through her neck and decapitate her, a faint click spread throughout the ground.
Alpha’s head ejected upwards as if it were pushed by a spring, and by a mere few centimeters, it dodged the sword’s sharp edge, allowing it to pass in between the head and her neck.
The moment the sword flashed behind her, the head fell down, seamlessly reattaching to the rest of her body.
Having successfully dodged the previous sword strike, Alpha didn’t wait for the rest of the weapons to attack.
Reaching out with her hand, her palm split open and, from within the dark space, a thin thread emerged.
The thread whistled through the air and landed on the ink sword before drilling straight into its body.
In just a moment, the connection between it and Alpha had been established.
Sensing this, Alpha had a thought and began controlling it with her mind, wielding it to meet the incoming weapons.
Continuous banging sounds echoed as the sword collided with the many weapons.
Even though Alpha only controlled a single weapon—and her opponent many—she was easily able to ward off the Owl Devil’s ruthless attacks.
This was not because the sword was stronger than the other weapons, but because Alpha’s control over it was way more accurate than the Owl Devil’s.
If the Owl Devil’s attacks were akin to throwing snowballs blindly and hoping that they would hit the target, then Alpha possessed telekinesis, being able to adjust the snowballs’ trajectory as she wished.
Watching from the outside, both Liora and Scurry could see that the two battling parties were evenly matched, with no one being able to suppress the other.
"How did that mere servant get so strong?
