Chapter 336: Classic Hypocrisy – Villains Die From Talking Too Much Series (Please Subscribe!)

The dimly lit green maze area was covered in withered flowers on the walls, swaying with phosphorescence, illuminating Izay’s position.

The man-eating flowers he had dragged away from the battlefield began to wildly attack him without hesitation.

“ROOOOOAAARRR……”

“——!”

Just as the attacking man-eating flowers were about to touch their “prey,” Izay’s body seemed to tear apart the surrounding dimness, releasing a scorching azure glow around him.

“Mana Release.”

A magic that converts one’s mana into a specific attribute and releases it outward, causing phenomena and destruction. It wasn’t a difficult spell.

Or rather, it could be called a “technique.”

It wasn’t something Izay had actively developed, but an ability instinctively fed to his mind after contracting with Xiao You.

As Xiao You, who controlled light and fire as a celestial holy spirit, this kind of technique was almost innate knowledge.

Through the contract, these things could also be mastered by Izay.

With a casual flick, yet cutting off the calyx of a man-eating flower, Izay was surrounded by Starflame, heat strong enough to warp the environment and incinerate the ground erupted violently.

The green walls around melted into wisps of smoke, revealing the black ground beneath. Those man-eating flowers attempting to pounce were like moths flying into flames, burning up completely.

“Fire magic… truly an unpopular magical attribute…”

Casually stepping through the cave entrance with his great sword, the White-haired Man emerged from the battlefield behind.

With a wave of his hand, the green walls on the ceiling wriggled in response, soon spewing out a massive dark green stone pillar that completely blocked the entrance.

The White-haired Man seemed utterly unconcerned about Asfi’s situation, immediately stepping on the entrance to trap Izay here after repelling him. His intent was obvious.

He didn’t want Izay to go back for support.

“Nor does anyone ask for your approval!?”

Though his tone sounded like casual post-meal chatter, devoid of tension, Izay’s stance was flawless.

Upon hearing this, the White-haired Man’s smile stretched to his ears.

“Hehehehe….! I remember someone once dared to talk to me like that. Do you know what happened to them!?”

“Their fate has nothing to do with me… but do you know something?”

Hearing those words, Izay gave a bored smile and slowly raised his spear.

“—Villains… usually die from talking too much!!”

Before his voice even finished, Izay’s figure had disappeared from its original spot.

It was as if taking advantage of time’s inattention, he appeared without warning behind the White-haired Man, constellation symbols drifting down around him.

The dark silver spear was like a startled venomous snake, raising its neck like a sickle and stabbing out instantly!

“!!?”

The pupils hidden within the skeletal mask suddenly contracted.

For a moment, all five senses of the White-haired Man froze, enveloped by a sudden sense of crisis.

Fear, dread…

“——!”

In an instant, the spear tip shot out.

Not even able to turn around, any extra movement would result in being instantly pierced through.

If it hit his magic stone…

Just imagining that horrifying outcome caused his body to react instinctively.

“You—this guy—!”

He bent his waist in a posture impossible for a human, swinging his arm upward with a rock-like great sword.

“Clang!!!”

Another explosive clash sparked.

The great sword deflected the spear and swung again toward Izay.

But Izay wouldn’t let him have his way.

The spear being deflected was within Izay’s expectations; after all, Level 6 latent ability values weren’t just for show.

Choosing to release Yetxia, he twisted his foot and unleashed a spinning kick.

Poom!!

“『Starfall』!!”

Scene shifts, Izay unleashes a magical cannon at a target soaring through the air.

“Boom!”

Magic exploded abruptly.

The dim sky erupted in fireworks-like flame light, the thunderous sound sweeping over this space.

The aftermath of the explosion accelerated the White-haired Man’s descent, heavily crashing onto the ground with great momentum, gouging trenches until colliding with the wall before stopping.

Glancing at the large cloud of smoke from the landing point, Izay casually beckoned the nearby Yetxia.

“——”

The mysterious patterns on Yetxia’s spear shaft emitted a faint glow, breaking through the ground with a click, transforming into streaks of light flying back into Izay’s hand.

“Ugh!”

The air vibrated.

The man in tattered white ceremonial robes stepped out of the thick smoke with his great sword, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

“You’ve angered me! Adventurer!!”

The White-haired Man perceived the pain caused by the magical bombardment on his body, his face twisting instantly.

Are you insane!?

Although Izay didn’t speak, his expression clearly conveyed these two words.

How are there still people like this!?

Could it be that in your eyes, battles are like this:

When I hurt someone, it’s because they’re too weak, they deserve it!

But when others hurt me, it’s unforgivable, they must pay!

Damn it… a Level 6 monster, and this is all the tolerance you have!?

What a classic case of hypocrisy!

Perhaps seeing the disdain on Izay’s face made the White-haired Man even angrier.

Making a wild beast-like roar, he gripped the ink-green rock-like great sword and charged straight at Izay.

In the blink of an eye, he reached Izay, swirling the great sword to unleash a fatal blade wind.

This extremely unique, heavy-duty natural weapon of solid rock required no special techniques, only constant slashing, slashing, and more slashing!

As long as it grazes or touches the enemy, it will cause severe injuries.

Such weapons only require sufficient strength and speed!

And the Level 6 potential ability value White-haired Man could fully meet this requirement.

On the contrary, Izay looked much lighter in battle.

Using Yetxia to deflect and counter the White-haired Man’s continuous slashes, finding opportunities to invade his territory with the dark silver spear.

Thus forming a mutual suppression situation, both sides engaged in a lightning-fast melee, their positions changing rapidly.

The sparks struck between the two metals were like an exhilarating music performance.

The rhythm continuously accelerated, without limits.

Both were determined to break through the other’s defense and secure an absolute victory!

…

…

Elsewhere on the battlefield.

The Hermes faction was caught in fierce combat against the swarm of man-eating flowers.

Asfi cut down every tentacle attacking from various angles with her knife, deeply and sharply hacking towards the opponent’s giant calyx.

After dealing with another man-eating flower, she quickly glanced around and decisively made her judgment.

“Everyone, work together to break through! Open the path to the Great Void and leave immediately!”

“Eh!? Are we leaving Izay and Miss Ais behind?”

“Look at your shield! Does Izay seem like someone who would get into trouble!?”

Without looking back, Asfi replied to the doubt from an unknown teammate.

Before the mysterious White-haired Man pulled Izay out of the battlefield, the magical effect released by Izay was still maintaining now.

And the residual dark golden rock pillars scattered around occasionally resonated, seemingly constantly charging the shields.

These shields greatly provided security for Asfi and her group, which was the main reason why there hadn’t been any casualties so far.

Otherwise, with the sheer number of these man-eating flowers, Asfi and her group would have started using healing items long ago.
