Chapter 307 - 307: Exposed
Remnants of Battle could be seen everywhere as craters were all around the field where Raia and Varant were fighting.
The battle seemed to be getting only intense as the fight progressed. No other Warlock even dared to get closer to the area where Varant and Raia fought.
During the fight, Raia tried to maintain the distance between him and Varant. He didn’t let Varant touch him at all while bombarding him with attacks.
As for Varant, even though he would have preferred to grab Raia by the neck, he had other skills as well. He was still able to maintain his stand despite being attacked from everywhere.
Raia’s sword created the most trouble for him, but at the same time, the tree branches that kept coming out of the ground also created problems for him.
Raia wasn’t in a better position either, as Varant’s strength wasn’t to be underestimated.
One such power of Varant was the S-Class Ability Augmentation which helped him not only boost his abilities but also allowed him to use the abilities of his allies temporarily.
He could only use one ability at a time when using Ability Augmentation, but he could switch that one power with another any time he wanted.
It only worked with his allies, though. He couldn’t use the powers of the people who didn’t allow him to use them.
Even though the power had this limitation, Varant didn’t seem to be upset. He was clear already. And he had the understanding of the powers of his allies, making him a formidable opponent.
There was one more limitation to it though. Even though he could temporarily use other people’s power, he couldn’t use them to the same capacity that others could. He could only draw out what seemed like eighty percent of the strength of such skills.
At the moment, tens of tree branches were coming towards him. Varant casually snapped his fingers, making all the tree branches shred into pieces. He was now using the ability of Assassination Emperor Gensi.
His figure soon disappeared as he appeared behind Raia. He changed his powers again to another member of his team as he brought the frightening crescents out.
With a whistling sound, the Crescents flew towards Raia.
As if aware of the attack, Raia turned back.
Clank!
With a metallic sound, the crescents were split in half as Raia’s sword sliced through them like butter.
"I see that you’re still using that cursed sword, aren’t you?" Varant asked as he continued attacking.
"And I see that you’re still fighting with the abilities of others. You’ll always be a Parasite! What can you even do on your own?" Raia sharply responded.
He continued, "Temporarily erase people’s powers and use the strength of your allies? You have nothing of your own! You don’t deserve to be here!"
"Not at all. It’s you who don’t deserve to be here. How can you be so shameless? Using Lucifer after what we all did to his parents? Moreover, despite knowing about his eyes? You have really gone crazy for power! I don’t care how I do it, but you need to be taken out!" Varant snapped, intensifying his attacks.
"It doesn’t matter. I’ll take care of everything after I get the control! Just watch! That kid will be my key to that..." Raia said as he jumped back, dodging the metal spike that had come out of the ground suddenly.
Varant kept switching from ability to ability and using the combination to take our Raia.
"You seem to be too hopeful about the boy! I wonder how it’ll go if I tell him the truth. About what you did? Will he still help you?" Varant asked, laughing.
"Hah, go ahead. As if someone will trust you! Let alone him; even the general public won’t believe that three Warlock Kings and the government came together to do that!" Raia chuckled.
He was only speaking all that after making sure that Lucifer wasn’t in his surroundings.
"Oh? Doesn’t he have Veracity with him? She’ll tell him that it’s the truth. She can instantly know who’s lying," Varant said as he again disappeared. Tens of blades came from behind Raia, intending to impale his body.
"He has Veracity with him?" Raia asked as he dodged the blades. "I thought he only had Ayn, who he killed already?"
"He killed Ayn?" Just after he gave a shock to Raia, Varant also received a shock of his own. He was hoping that Ayn would still be alive.
" Don’t change the topic! He had Veracity? Tell me the truth!" Raia said as he thought of something.
"That’s right. Didn’t you know already? Veracity went missing from her home after his appearance," Varant replied. "So Lucifer should have her."
"I thought he left Veracity behind since I didn’t see her in the Palace and..."
Confused, Raia felt like he was already close to getting an answer. He thought back to the moment he actually met Lucifer.
Lucifer was asking many strange questions about his father’s death. He also remembered the red-haired woman who was sitting behind them.
Just as Raia wanted to get everyone out, including that woman, Lucifer stopped him.
Raia hadn’t thought of this before, but now all the pieces were clear! He understood everything!
"That boy knows everything! That’s why he wanted the war to be here!" He suddenly exclaimed as he dodged another attack.
"What do you mean?" Varant asked as he finally stopped the attack. Even Raia had stopped the attacks.
"That boy! He tricked me! He asked me many questions about his father’s death when we were in a public place! I think he had Ayn there as well!"
" That’s why he lied to me about living alone in the mansion! This freaking bastard! He wanted to make the two of us kill each other!" Raia yelled in frustration.
"Alicia!" He suddenly exclaimed as he remembered that he had left Alicia behind with Lucifer.
He looked in the direction only to realize that Alicia wasn’t there. Moreover, Lucifer wasn’t there either!
"You’re right! We need to kill that boy first! He certainly knows everything! He’s too dangerous!" Raia exclaimed.
"That’s what I was telling you. Finally, you understand. We can always kill each other, but he needs to be taken out of the picture! So tell me where he is! I’m sure he’s not here; otherwise, you wouldn’t have accepted all that out loud," Varant let out, frowning.
"Even I don’t know where he is now. I can’t find him anywhere," Raia responded, frowning. He also had no idea about the whereabouts of Lucifer.
Far away from them, a young boy was standing looking at both of them.
"How unfortunate," the Silver Hair boy muttered, frowning.
