Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 484 The Scythe Queen



Chapter 484 The Scythe Queen

Altashia saw that she was targeted from many fronts. In response, she first created a series of blade slashes around her using her weapon. The way she handled her weapon was mesmerizing as it was precise to a T.

She did not do anything unnecessary. No movement wasted. It looked like the weapon she held had a life of its own as it moved around her at the touch of her fingers.

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

The warrior ranker destroyed Water Prison Claw effortlessly at the cost of tapping into a huge amount of mana from her mana storage. Her forehead was soaked in sweat after she was done spinning around herself. Her weapon was still being spun by both of her arms above her head.

Altashia looked at Rodrick, who was looking at her with serious expressions. He knew what he was doing was inappropriate. But he needed this win. He was just that desperate.

Even though Altashia had managed to destroy the Water Prison Claw, she had consumed more than half of her mana to pull it off. A few more attacks by Rodrick’s water wyvern would be able to make Altashia run out of her juices, making him win by default. This was all he wanted.

Rodrick tightened his grip on his weapon again. In addition, he had enough mana to cast a few more rounds of Riptide. He decided to press Altashia with them as much as he could by timing it with his beast’s attacks.

But all his strategy was based on the fact that Altashia would just stay where she was and take his beating.

“If you think getting airborne would save you from my attacks, let me prove you wrong.”

Altashia said and raised one of her hands. A hive of fire and earth elemental chains was formed once again. These chains climbed over her weapon’s snath and gripped it hard.

The next thing Rodrick saw was that Altashia had sent her weapon flying at him. But unlike his weapon which had consciousness, this weapon was controlled by Altashia’s chains. And that was all she needed to attack with.

The beast roared at the incoming weapon and started casting the spell. But the weapon changed direction suddenly and accelerated at the same time.

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

A barrage of blade slashes was launched by Altashia in mid-air and they all flew toward Rodrick and his beast’s direction.

Roar!

“Aargh!”

It wasn’t long before a human’s and a wyvern’s cries of pain could be heard at the same time. But alas for both of them, this wasn’t the end. The slashes that had affected their bodies caught fire. Altashia’s fire-element mana invaded Rodrick’s system at the same time as it corroded the beast’s mana body. Putting both of them in a vulnerable position.

Altashia raised her hand towards the flying duo and focused her thoughts. She could feel her mana invading her enemies’ bodies. She opened her eyes a moment later and brought them down hard as if she was pulling something down.

The fire-element mana that had invaded Rodrick’s body changed shape. The fire and wind element chains began sprouting from the wounds. It wasn’t long before the chains were wrapped around both bodies within a few moments.

Altashia was pulling on her chains when she made the yanking down motion. The airborne duo both pulled a few meters nearer to the ground from their previous position.

Rodrick was giving commands to Wyvern to fly at high altitude, even though it had lost its balance due to all the chains restricting its wings.

Altashia appeared right in front of the now-brought-down water wyvern like an apparition. When she had yanked those chains, she had connected those chains with the chains she had sent the duo’s way. She then used the linked chains as a pulley to bring herself to their height. She then used her weapon unhesitatingly, aiming for the mana beast’s entire body.

This was the final nail in the coffin for both the beast and its owner.

Swish!

A giant fire-element slash bloomed in the air that overshadowed everything with its mana signature alone.

The beast’s head was cut down. Its spell caster also had various slashes all over his body. They both fell to the ground when Altashia swung her weapon once again.

The duel was over when Rodrick got so critically injured that he lost his control over the spell and the water wyvern’s mana body was dispersed.

Altashia used the wind as a cushion once again to land safely on the ground. Her scythe’s blade had been coated with Rodrick’s blood as it had come in contact with his body. The guy would have been chopped down into minced meat if Altashia hadn’t controlled her attacks.

Altashia spun her weapon around her once again to get rid of Rodrick’s blood. Although she was breathing a bit heavily with beads of sweat running down her cheeks, she was fine. One could tell that she still hadn’t gone all out against her duel with the royal.

“The winner of this epic… no… super epic duel is Altashia Argas!”

The announcer was the first to get snapped back to reality after witnessing such an intense battle. He announced the battle’s result with a voice coated in excitement he had long forgotten to feel while acting as the witness to such duels.

The audience took a while to register the entire set of events. Some looked at the spectral screens above the battle ring to see what had happened in slow motion as the screen was playing the highlights of the duel.

The crowd became wild when they saw Altashia in action. Her onscreen appearance made her feel like she was dancing through her whole duel instead of battling. When she drew her weapon in the highlights, her visual grace only increased.

“Altashia I’ll give you 10,000 Extols for shaking hands with me!”

“Altashia, I’ll… I’ll give you all my wealth. Just wave at me.”

“Altashia!”

“Miss Argas!”

“The Scythe Queen!”

“The Wyvern Slayer!”

The spectators shouted their hearts out to call out to Altashia. Their emotions were all over the place as they witnessed her feats. Their individual appreciation soon turned into crowd hysteria as they kept on shouting her name. Some had started giving her unofficial titles too.

Altashia didn’t pay attention to any of those cheers. She looked in Eren’s direction and smiled after she put her weapon back in her storage. The latter made a gulping sound when he felt her piercing gaze on him.

‘She’s a dangerous woman.’
