"What the hell is wrong with this guy!?"
It didn't take a while for Timothy and Yelena to finally understand what was happening.
Maybe it was because of the dark environnt, but the scene in front of them was more horrifying than it already was.
At first, Yelena and Timothy believed that it was Lupic's power that made him formidable, and they weren't completely wrong, but that was not all.
"This bastard is mad!" Even timothy was forced to admit that Lupic was not your typical thug.
Lupic died, and another Lupic died, and another one died, but fifty other Luipics appeared.
Those who died had their body turned into charcoal, their interiors bursting out of their body, and their brain electrocuted and lted.
But Lupic was still advancing toward Yelena and Timothy without a sign of fear in his eyes.
It turned into psychological warfare.
Bodies began to fill the area and they were in an extrely sorry state.
But Lupic wasn't even fazed after seeing the other versions of him dying. "What are you waiting for? Show what you've got."
Yelena and Timothy understood what Lupic wanted to do, and even though they didn't know about the true nature of his power, they sensed that Lupic was more or less a psychopath.
"Tch! I will finish this in one attack!" Yelena announced to Timothy.
Timothy nodded his head at Yelena's words. "Yeah, as long as we take of the original there shouldn't be any more clones. What kind of power is this anyway?"
Yelena and Timothy couldn't make hasty moves, because Feldenis was still treating Brondon.
If sothing happened, then Brodon would lose his life for real, and Liu's companions didn't want that.
'Should I just give him the container?' Yelena thought.
It was not their business in the first place, so there was no reason for them to lose a companion while trying to protect a container given by an unknown person.
However, there was the fact that these people were the ones who kidnapped Liu, so what if this container contained sothing that could potentially save her life, or could be used as a bargaining chip.
There were too many uncertainties in all of this and there was no ti to think carefully about the little details.
Yelena didn't want to get distracted by these details for the ti being and concentrated on her next attack.
"Aaaaaa!" She shouted as if she was trying to show that she was gathering her power.
Among the four of them, It was Yelena who dealt the most damage, not including Liu, and Timothy was the fastest.
It was exhausting to keep a barrier active for a long ti, so Timothy was exhausting his strength very quickly.
Still, if Lupic was a teleporter, Timothy and Yelena wouldn't be able to stop him from teleporting inside the barrier.
But even though Lupic was not completely a teleporter, his power was not sothing ordinary.
Every ti he entered the mirror dinsion, his future self would appear in the real world. It was as if he skipped unnecessary processes and instantly move to the results. He was a kind of ti traveler, or more precisely, a ti skipper.
But in reality, all he did was find his way inside of the mirror dinsion, like choosing a door.
And all of his clones are a probable version of himself that could exist but didn't; and the act of forcefully bringing in the real world was sothing extrely dangerous with their approval or not.
The mirror world was a very strange place, but it was a place closer to reality than everything else; the incident involving Judgent proved that.
The ability to enter this world was a feat that only a person who had already awakened their authority could achieve because the person could potentially possess an omnipresent power.
But Lupic's power was far from omnipresence, it was not even an authority, it was just a lesser version and all he could do was enter the mirror room and skip a few seconds in the real world and then appear directly in a near future.
He could only appear at a distance that he could reach during these sixty seconds. But it still looked like he teleported, and it was a very dangerous power.
Even Lupic himself didn't know how to explain his power, and sothing prevented him to project himself more than 1 minute in the future or the past. He felt like his body would explode if he did that.
But he could avoid being killed by cloning himself, so in a way, he was immortal.
Still, Lupic lacked firepower, unlike Louis and his power was more suited for tracking and information gathering.
Not all overpowered power were suitable for battle, but Lupic didn't care about that.
"Go to hell!"
Yelena's power condensed into a huge fireball that looked like a small sun. The surrounding brightened and the heat was unbearable, mostly for the clone of Lupic who had the fireball on top of their head.
Yelena's fireball landed in the middle of Lupic's hundreds or so clones and then erupted like a volcano.
Boom!
The ground lted into magma and the trees' roots burned down into crisps.
There was a strong sll of burnt flesh in the air as Lupic's clone turned into ashes.
This explosion was followed by another explosion and an earthquake, but this ti, it was not caused by Yelena or Timothy. It was caused by Louis and the vampire's battle.
*****
A few kiloters from Yelena and the others, the battle between Louis and the vampire woman was about to reach its climax.
Louis was now clearly at a disadvantage despite him leading the ga a few monts ago.
Pant! Pant! "Damn creature!" Louis cursed, feeling that he was running out of strength.
The vampire woman was just right in front of him, holding a sword made of condescending red crimson blood, and red wings on her back, but he couldn't finish her.
At so point, their battle turned into a close-up fight.
Louis judged that showering the vampire one-sidedly with lighting attacks would just waste his strength.
Louis condensed his power into a sword-like shape and the woman did the sa.
Louis used the attractive force generated by his power to move around at a very high speed, but even his speed and destructive power couldn't manage to deal a fatal blow to the vampire woman.
Their swords of energy clashed countless tis, but both of them didn't let the other one overwhelm them and didn't let any room for sneak attacks.
It was a very intense battle where power and speed were the key factors.
Unfortunately for Louis, it was not his lucky day.
If the battle happened anywhere else than inside this forest, he might have won.
The vampire woman kept getting stronger and stronger.
"Why the hell did you beco strong all of sudden? You were running away with tails between your legs just a while ago." Louis was finally open to a discussion. He felt like this vampire woman led him into a trap
Louis didn't know everything about vampires' power, so it was understandable that he was confused by what was happening.
He had the upper hand all of this ti, so he didn't think that the odds would turn against him.
"…" The woman didn't even flinch. She showed dignity in her behavior. "I was lucky enough that the fragnt lead to this place." She answered.
For so reason, the number of primordial particles in this universe was particularly dense, especially in this forest, unlike the other ones that were already full of corruption,
The vampire woman had a hard ti recovering from Louis's attack because of that, but now that she was exposed to this kind of environnt, it was just a matter of ti.
The particular traits of her blood were just too overpowered, even in this universe. It disintegrated matters at an atomic level.
"Woman, tell your na. It has been a long ti since I t soone who could drive to a corner like this." Louis said.
He might have a kind of sche going on, or maybe it was his true feelings, but the vampire woman looked like she was a little bit taken aback.
Well, it didn't matter to her, since she would have to kill him either way.
"Blanca."
Louis's expression didn't change and he just nodded. "Louis."
That was all, and the fight was about to continue.
*****
On the other side of the portal, Adam and Zax were about to reach the dark castle.
They didn't know about Liu's situation, so they couldn't waste any ti. They took the shortest route with Cristal's navigation and avoided fighting monsters as much as possible.
However, things were never easy when the fragnts of the Tree of Life were involved, and Adam would harshly learn this fact.
It didn't even take them a while to notice that so people were standing in their way.
One of them was the one who ran away earlier, and the other one was the commander.
There were hordes of vicious monsters of all kinds behind these two people, waiting for a single order.
p
"Yeah, this is bad." Zax agreed with Adam.
These monsters were different from the regular goblins and wolves, they were at the sa level as the black wyverns.
But the was only Adam, Zax, and Cristal…
They had to pass through this if they wanted to save Liu.
But, was that even possible?
