The Only Spatial Ability User In The Apocalypse-Chapter 60 Strong Presence

Sensing no zombies or other creatures in the surroundings, Sylas relaxed a bit and quickly left the gas station. He stayed on constant alert as he left the town and entered the forest again.

Sylas took the same route back. Since Sylas had already cleared many mutated plants and animals on the way earlier, there was no obstruction this time. But this didn’t make him lose his vigilance. His senses were constantly on watch as he ran at a fast speed.

On the way back, he still came across several low-level mutated plants and animals, which he easily dealt with.

His speed was much faster than before now that his ability had leveled up.

As he was nearing the road, Sylas suddenly felt something coming towards him at a great speed.

A bird!

Sylas saw a huge bird flying towards him from ahead. As the bird reached him, it swooped down with its sharp claws aimed at him.

Sylas waved his hand, and a spatial blade rushed out.

Screech!

The bird let out a sharp screech, and it quickly flew up, avoiding the spatial blade. Its speed was very fast.

The mutated bird flapped its massive wings and pulled up sharply, creating a violent gust of wind that sent leaves and dust swirling through the forest.

Sylas narrowed his eyes and immediately stepped back, his gaze locked onto the sky.

The bird circled above him, its wings stretched wide. Its feathers were dark and rough, and its body was much larger than that of any normal bird. The beak of the bird was sharp like metal and pitch black. Its sharp eyes fixated on Sylas as it let out another low screech.

Fast... and it knows how to fight, Sylas thought.

The bird folded its wings and dived again.

This time, its speed was even faster.

Sylas raised his hand, and a space barrier formed above him.

Bang!

The bird’s claws slammed into the barrier with tremendous force. The impact sent vibrations rippling through the barrier, and Sylas felt his arm go slightly numb.

The bird did not linger. It twisted its body midair and flew upward again before Sylas could counterattack.

Sylas frowned.

The mutated bird circled once more, then suddenly changed direction and dove at an angle, aiming straight for Sylas’s side.

Sylas stomped his foot into the ground.

Earth ability surged.

Crack!

The ground beneath him split, and a thick slab of earth rose up instantly, forming a crude shield. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Clang!

The bird’s claws scraped violently against the hardened earth barrier. The earthen shield shattered under the force, but it successfully blocked the attack.

A good opportunity to practice earth ability, Sylas thought.

Before the bird could fly upwards, Sylas flicked his wrist.

A spatial blade shot upward.

The mutated bird reacted instinctively, twisting its wings sharply. The blade missed its body, but it sliced cleanly through several long feathers.

Screech!

The bird cried out in anger as it wobbled slightly in the air before stabilizing and glaring at Sylas with its red glowing eyes.

Sylas didn’t relax.

He could already tell that dealing with a flying mutated beast was far more troublesome than fighting on the ground.

The mutated bird flapped its wings again and swooped down towards Sylas.

Leaves and branches of the nearby trees were torn off by the wind caused by the flapping of the mutated bird’s wings and shot toward Sylas like projectiles.

Sylas quickly spread his space barrier outward, blocking the debris as it slammed against it from all directions.

It’s using brute force and speed, Sylas thought. No abilities, but its body alone is dangerous.

The bird seized the moment while Sylas was defending and dove again, this time directly from above.

Sylas’s eyes flashed cold.

He slammed his palm into the ground.

Boom!

The earth beneath him surged violently. A cluster of stone pillars erupted upward in rapid succession.

The bird was forced to pull up sharply, narrowly avoiding them.

Sylas then immediately waved both his hands, and multiple spatial blades flew out in different trajectories, cutting through the air and forming a net above him.

The mutated bird screeched in alarm and flapped its wings frantically, dodging left and right. One blade grazed its wing, tearing flesh and drawing blood.

The bird’s flight faltered.

Sylas didn’t give it time to recover.

He stomped the ground again, using his newly awakened earth ability.

Several stone spikes shot out, aiming straight at the mutated bird. The mutated bird dodged left and right, avoiding the stones, and tried to fly upward to pull some distance, but Sylas didn’t give it a chance. He immediately raised his hand as his space ability emerged, forming a compressed spatial blade.

The compressed spatial blade was much faster and stronger than a normal spatial blade.

The compressed spatial blade rushed out from his hand and went straight towards the mutated bird.

This time, the bird couldn’t dodge in time.

Slash!

The blade cut cleanly through its chest. The mutated bird let out a piercing screech as blood sprayed into the air. Its massive body lost balance and came crashing heavily into the forest.

Thud!

The mutated bird fell a few meters away from Sylas.

Sylas didn’t approach immediately. He kept his senses spread out, watching for any sudden movement.

After several seconds, Sylas finally moved and went towards the mutated bird’s corpse.

"Troublesome," he muttered softly as he cut open the mutated bird’s head. He took out a white-colored energy stone the size of a marble and tossed it inside his space.

The fight with the mutated bird had made quite a commotion, and Sylas was afraid it would attract other threats in the forest.

He wanted to leave immediately, but what he feared still came true.

He suddenly felt a very strong presence moving in his direction. At the same time, he could sense that the presence could also sense him. He could feel that the presence was stronger than any mutated creature he had encountered.

"Damn it!" Sylas cursed under his breath as he got ready for another fight.
