Black Quantiarch: The Progenitor's Odyssey-Chapter 189: The Greenwood Academy [29]

[ Elemental Explosion ] ...

That was the name Black gave to the new Ability that he just created!! ... Well alright it still wasn't a full fledged ability but anyways!! ...

Eventually it would become one!!... So what's wrong!! There is no harm in him naming his ability a little before!! ...

It was called planning for the future alright!! ...

Anyways Black watched the last explosion of the chain of explosions go of with a one calm gaze and relaxed posture!! ...

*Booom!!~~* ...

"Mm!!"

Even though the explosions lasted for mere 60 seconds!! ... but in those so-called 60 seconds the whole of the city square was in all respects!!... Devastated!! ...

It was in utter ruins!! ...

No!! – The destruction went even beyond that!! As all the nearby building were also obliterated!! ...

Both because of the shockwaves themselves!! ... And also because of the many unexploded earthen-spikes that the shockwaves and the exploded earthen-spikes threw all over!! ...

Which afterwards exploded too!! ...

As for that 20 meter-wide area!! ...

Well!!... Let's just say that it wasn't doing much better either!! ...

At last!!.. Past that melting smoke his eyes finally focused on the two unfortunate souls!! He grimaced and smiled simultaneously!! ...

"Damn!!.. one is barely hanging on by a thread while the other is!!... "

Black pursed his lips!! His expression amused!! ... "Majorly unharmed but still in a very bad shape nonetheless!! ... "

To say Black was surprised was indeed true!! ...

He had certainly imagined that the Human and the Spirit obviously wouldn't come out unscathed from his unexpected attack!! ...

But to see Lix in such a bad condition!! Bad enough that even standing was a challenge from him!! He didn't expect that!! ...

'This sort of result is both baffling and welcoming!! ... I guess!! ... ' His eyes narrowed as he examined the miserable spirit!! ...

Lix's entire body was in simple words!!...

Broken!! ... His left upper-torso was completely gone!! His left eye was bleeding while his right eye along with his right face and right side was thoroughly burned!! ...

In other words Lix had become blind from his right eye!! ...

Then the many extremely small and tiny peices of the exploded earthen-spikes that were embedded in his flesh!! ...

'Just how did he survive with injuries so horrible!! ...

No!!... How did he even get so roughed up in the first place!! ... Compared to him that human looks like he suffered from nothing!! ... '

The while his mind churned!! Thinking of a possible answer to his question!! ...

His body descended and in but a few seconds his feets touched the ground with but a fifteen meters distance separating them!! ...

No to mention by this point Black had already realized why Lix was in such a bad condition through his partial-omniscint!! ...

Apparently!! ...

In the minute his ability [ Elemental Explosion ] lasted!! ... There happened as much as three-hundred and twenty-four explosions!! ...

Meaning there happened 324 attacks all within a minute which were all at Ascension Level 89 which again all happened within that small city square where Lix had his Partial-Domain deployed!! ...

All in All!! ...

His Partial-Domain |

... [ Fog of Corrosion ] ...

| wasn't capable of and wasn't able to withstand those continuous explosions!! ...

And in mere 20 seconds it was done!! ...

The partial-domain broke apart!! ... Which resulted in Lix directly suffering from a backlash ultimately leading to his current condition!! ...

He barely managed to survive after entering the Lightening barrier that Nizar created even then he did suffer from grave injuries!! ...

The burns on his right side weren't for nothing after all!! ...

"That was a rather good ability!! ... "

Lix smiled despite his face distorted in agonizing pain and his body a macabre mess!! Which was really unpleasant to look at!! Even more when one considers his pale-greenish skin!! ...

"In My whole life wandering the Elytherian lands I've never seen an ability quiet like yours!! ... It was simply marvelous!! ... " He added grimacing as he pulled a earthen-spike from his flesh!! ...

*Phew!!~~*

"I knew you were an interesting guy!! My friend!! ... " He glanced at Black!! ... "And see you did not disappoint Me!! ... You got us good!! ... " And chuckled in amusement!! ...

Black though amazed by the spirit before him!! Too joined him!! ... Laughing light-heartedly!! ...

Afterwards he shook his head!! "Regardless!! ... You being friendly with Me would not make Me spare your life Lix or that Human's!! ... You will die despite My favorable impression of you!! ... "

Lix stopped laughing!! "Now I'm hurt you know!! ... "

His expression immediately turned serious!! Eyes narrowed!! "Did you really think you can kill me just because of My injuries!! ... "

"Laughable!!~~ ... " He grinned with his bloodied lips!! "Though I'm still curious about one thing would you mind ending My curiosity!? ... "

Black raised his brow!! ...

Indeed He noticed Lix obvious attempt at buying time!! ...

'Is he buying time for the Human to recover so that he himself could also recuperate when My battle with that Human begans!! ...

That is possible I guess!! After all that Human is certainly strong and killing him would indeed take some time!!... Aside from My rapt attention!!... '

His lips curled!! ...

'Well!! I suppose I can indulge him by playing along for some time!! ... '

"Hm!! Go ahead! I don't mind!!" Black nodded in affirmation! "Besides I'm also curious about this 'curiosity of your'!! ... "

Lix after drinking a few of the low-level rank eight healing potions that he had on himself!! That were only capable of stopping his bleeding!! ...

Looked towards Black!! ... "I want to know just what is it that made you want to kill Me!! ... I don't think we've ever met before for there to exist any grudges between us!! ... "

"And didn't you just said that you had a good impression of Me!! So what is it!? ... Uh!!.. Or are you perhaps one of those individuals who likes butchering other people needlessly!!... "

"Because in this tournament after taking once badge there is always the option of sparing the life!? Isn't there!? ... "

Black blinked!!... Clearly not expecting Lix to ask this question out of all the other questions he could've asked!! ...

"Well! ... "

He rubbed his chin!! His mind at a loss!! ... "Um!!... Uh!!... Un!!... " Abruptly while in thought Black blinked again!! His eyes gleamed!! ...

Afterwards he again had his gaze focused on Lix!! "You tell Me why you killed those other participants that you could've easily spared!? ... "

Though Black didn't know who!! ... But he certainly knew that these seven individuals had without a silver of doubt killed other participants!! ...

"Hm!! ... " Lix smiled!! His head nodding!! "I guess that fair!! If we're willing to kill then we must also be prepared to get killed in kind!! Understood!!" ...

Black stared at the spirit with a speechless gaze!! ...

'Well!!... That wasn't the answer to My question!! ... But whatever I guess!! ... '

"I'll handle it from here!! ... " Nizar Yantra muttered from the back!! His gaze fixed on Black!! There eyes matched!!

"You can take your sweet time to recuperate yourself back to full-health!! ... "

He flew out of the still devastated area which was protected by his Lightening-barrier!! Landing on a slightly better ground!! ...

"Because this time I'll make sure to thoroughly eradicate him even before he can pull any other of his annoying tricks on us!! ... "

"Whatever just don't underestimated him!! We've suffered two time already by doing something like that and a third time would be nothing but idiocy on our part!! ... "

Lix reminded!! ...

"Don't worry!! I won't underestimate him!! Not anymore!! ... " Nizar Yantra uttered calmly!! Immediately afterwards he activated his own Partial-Domain!! ...
