BXBX NOVEL 147 Chapter 147
The moment Acht uttered those words, a huge wave of soul force escaped his body and started expanding at a rapid pace. It was as if he turned into a soul force generator continuously emitting energy to his surroundings.
Lein tried to make a distance between them to escape whatever he was creating but she couldn't find a place where this energy wave didn't reach her.
In a matter of a few seconds, the whole room was now inside this energy domain that Acht created. The atmosphere became suffocating and almost abnormally cold.
After doing that, he made a gesture with his palm that didn't seem to be much but what it did was certainly alarming.
Lein started to feel her body getting pulled to Acht. The pulling force was weak and slow but it was getting stronger and faster quickly.
She tried to resist it and was able to stay still at first but gradually, she started losing footing and getting pulled.
"Don't underestimate me, fucker." She cursed as she lifted one of her legs up and then hit the ground as strongly as she could.
The rocks immediately got crushed and a very narrow yet deep hole was created that fixed her legs inside.
She did the same thing with her other leg and now she was basically planted in the ground.
What was previously a one-sided force was now a collision between two forces. One was trying to pull and the other was trying to resist that pull.
Acht, who was still in a crazed state, clenched his extended fist and pulled his whole arm behind.
*Crack*
The ground started cracking and Lein started feeling her legs getting pulled out violently. She immediately pulled out her sword and also planted it on the ground but it was still useless.
So, with no other choice, she changed her plan and pulled herself out.
It didn't even take a split second for all of that force to attract her towards Acht at an alarming speed.
*SWISH*
She tried to readjust her position in the air but all she could do was move slightly. When she was about 5 meters away from him, Acht raised his hand in the air, making her stop her journey and rise to the sky unwillingly.
He eyed her one time before he put his hand down quickly.
*Boom*
The collision was violent, to say the least. If any other human was crushed like that then they would've turned into a meat paste instantly. But, Acht knew very well that Lein was probably unscathed after that hit.
So, he pulled her out again and smashed her to the ground immediately. Then he repeated the process again and again and again without even stopping to check if she was really getting hurt because of this or not. The only thing in his mind was to release all of his frustration and anger on her.
After an unknown number of hits, Acht stopped and threw her far away as strong as he could before he disabled the gravity domain.
His breathing was erratic and his face was sweating buckets. It did consume a lot of his soul force but he still thought that it was worth it since he felt himself calm down after that session of beating.
'I never really lose my composure even when I get hit. What happened to me?' He thought as he looked at his hands.
He couldn't understand why he did that or to be more precise how he did that.
'Gravity domain…it feels like it was engraved in my mind the moment I went berserk. However, I don't recall ever seeing this technique before.' He pondered.
Gravity Domain just basically appeared in his head the moment he wanted to use all of his power. He somehow was able to use it easily and even to masterfully attack with it.
But, after some time, he shook his head and erased all of those thoughts. He had a more pressing matter in front of him.
Lein, who had been thrown away like a ragdoll, still didn't appear. Acht was sure that she was still alive. If an attack like that killed her then she might as well be a fake person disguising as Lein.
Acht had a very good idea about how strong she was after all.
As if she was answering his assumptions, Lein stood up after a few seconds. She didn't seem injured at all even from this far.
She grabbed her pipe and smoked from it before she cracked her neck twice to release the tension from there.
Then, with a calm look, she pulled out her sword and channeled her soul force into the sword. Acht could see the lightning crackling on the blade.
He could also feel the huge energy in that sword.
After that, she grabbed the handle tightly and arched her back before throwing the sword with all of her power.
The sword flew faster than the speed of sound by at least 20 times and reached Acht in less than half of a second.
He could barely even see the sword moving as he bent to the side with all of his flexibility. Luckily, the sword passed him easily.
However, what happened next shook him greatly. He looked behind him and saw that the sword stopped mid-air as it was grabbed by Lein who appeared there as if it was nothing and grabbed the sword.
At that exact moment, Acht realized a crucial thing that he miscalculated.
'She didn't even use half her maximum speed before!!!'
His eyes widened as the sword came rushing toward his abdomen intending to slice it.
The attack was simply impossible to dodge even if he somehow was able to perceive what happened previously. The speed was something out of this world. He had never really been capable of fighting Lein when she became serious.
The only thing he felt and heard was the crackling of the lightning that ran through the blade as it came closer and closer.
*SWISH*
