He was second in command of the group – a muscular boy with a big broadsword.
“Amon, did I get enough time?” Ariel said suddenly as she looked at him.
“Yes, thanks,” Amon said.
In the next instant, everyone looked at Amon and that’s when they saw that a frightening level of lightning was condensed around his hands.
*<Multiple Circuits>!*
“Shit!” Monique yelled, “The cash cow girl was a distraction! Get ready!!”
“Get down,” Amon said quietly.
Ariel and the rest of his group crouched down and Amon stretched his hands forward slightly open, and from his ten fingers lightning shot out with thunderous speed. The sounds of lightning alone were capable of making the hair on one’s entire body stand on end.
“Get down!” Monique saw Ariel and the rest ducking, and thought that was the countermeasure to not getting hit. She couldn’t have been more wrong.
The instant Amon targeted them they basically became the recipients of his attack and would receive the full blast of electrical current. When they ducked, it only made it easier when the ten fist-thick bolts hit the heads of the ten of her group out in front and pierced towards the nine people behind. It then came back to pierce their heads.
Everything happened so fast that they didn’t even have time to think or react. When they found out, they had already been hit and were suffering a huge electrical discharge. Unlike the Innate beasts, they had genetic armor, and because of that, even at that moment they were still alive but suffering a lot of torture from being electrocuted.
“Let’s go!” Barbara was the first to react when blue flames enveloped her body.
“Blue flame fist!” Barbara screamed very loudly as she arrived in front of a student from the Golden Phoenix University.
Her fist surrounded by flames hit the pit of the boy’s stomach which was already numb due to Amon’s attack. Hey attack opened a hole in the genetic armor that had already lost a lot of defense, going through to the point of showing Barbara’s hand on the other side. With a look of disgust and even a little coldness in her eyes, Barbara pulled her arm back and used the blue flames to burn the blood off her hand.
In the next instant, she surrounded her flexible sword with blue flames and swung the sword towards the neck of the girl beside her, causing her head to fly into the air and fall to the ground, rolling a few times. Without the slightest bit of remorse, she looked at the two dead bodies and began to search for items from their storage such as rings, bracelets, etc.
After finding the girl’s bracelet and a storage earring on the boy, she took them and then used her flames to burn their bodies.
Ariel, who had joined the fight as well, used her whip to attack, wrapping the whip around a girl’s thin neck, and using psychic power, she pulled the end of the whip, strangling the girl – making her want to scream for oxygen. The girl’s head turned purple until the whip pulled so hard, squeezing the girl’s neck as hard as it could, until finally the neck broke and the flesh tore, sending the head flying up into the air.
“Huh, not bad~” Although she thought the girl’s reaction was a little weak, she liked it.
Mabel saw this and shuddered, taking a few steps away from Ariel. With the Triple Flail, she attacked from afar, making the taut chain and spiky spherical balls grow and crush three people to death at once.
With the spear in her hands, Julia pierced the hearts of three students at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye. It was so fast that it created afterimages of the spear going back and forth.
Maisa was even more sinister when attacking in a group, as she jumped in the air. Soon her sledgehammer head ,growing to be the size of a public bus, came down with all her strength towards a group of 4 people weakened by the lightning.
*BOOM!*
A colossal sound echoed, and a crater formed. With the increase in size, there was also an increase in weight multiplied by Maisa’s strength, which created a powerful heavy attack using the gravity effect from this realm.
A dust curtain was raised. While the students of the Golden Phoenix University were almost all dead, only three of them remained. Two, who had not been dispatched by the girls, died from being electrocuted for so long. Apart from that, the sky was raining and those two didn’t have good enough genetics to counter the amplified effects. The water that had fallen on their bodies increased the power of the electric shock.
“Lalala~ Only you are left~” Ariel hummed. She looked at Monique and the other two while having a peculiar smile on her face.
Monique struggled to get up, but her whole body was numb. She couldn’t even open her mouth properly, although at this moment her mind thought of many things in such a short time, and her body was not able to keep up with her brain.
“You were wanting to sell our new friend on the black market? Heh, very arrogant of you, you know~” Ariel touched Monique’s chin, lifting her head to look into the girl’s eyes. ．
Forced to look into Ariel’s eyes, Monique shivered even more. She didn’t have the strength, and she couldn’t even move. She could only let Ariel do what she wanted.
“You know~ I particularly love to watch people suffer, but seeing you now… I like it even more~” Ariel laughed sinisterly as her smile turned a bit bizarre on her cute face. “After having said you were going to kill my good friend and sell another one, and you dared to attack us in spite of seeing Amon’s strength… Your boldness and courage give me goosebumps! Look at you~”
She showed Monique her arm covered with goosebumps.
“You see? So scary you are~” Ariel let out another giggle. Her eyes turned almond-shaped. “You know, you seem like the type who also likes to see others suffer just like I do, am I right? Tell me, how do you feel now that you are on the receiving end?”
“…” Monique tried to open her mouth and speak, but her vocal cords were damaged from Amon’s earlier attack, and being exposed to the rain this long, she was greatly affected.
“Nothing to say?” Ariel’s eyes changed, turning cold and indifferent as her delicate hands cupped Monique’s head and started to cheer, “Well then, goodbye~”
Mabel, thought she was a little touched to hear that Ariel was doing this for her, that didn’t stop her from feeling a little scared of Ariel. ‘I would hate to be her enemy. I’m glad she’s an ally…’
Having such an enemy, it was best to run and hide. Seeing the dread Monique displayed at her death while her neck was twisted, Ariel had hurt the woman both physically and psychologically. This girl completely broke down, her eyes staring forward before she died, and they were showing pure terror and despair.
The other two who had lived through the electrocution were finished by Amon. They died so fast that they didn’t even see how they died.
‘Having Ariel as an enemy is a nightmare, but the same can be said for Amon…’ Amon’s power was far beyond what she could imagine. Mabel didn’t expect him to be powerful enough to attack 19 people at the same time, making them unable to move at all.
After they took all the valuables from the corpses, Barbara used her blue flames to burn the bodies.
“They wanted to take advantage of the Secret Realm to kill us, since no spell from outside works in here. That is, even if there is a marking spell or any other type of spell that can find out who killed someone, it wouldn’t be able to find out anything that had taken place in this Secret Realm,” Mabel told them. Amon and the rest had kind of already figured that out, so they weren’t surprised.
Mabel once again had to reevaluate Amon and the girls. What they showed now was not just power, but resolve to do what they had to do, even if it meant killing other people. It was true that it was unpleasant to kill a human being (well, for people who weren’t like Ariel), however, not to retaliate against attack was being cruel to oneself, an utterly illogical and irrational thing to do.
Leaving these pelt alive would have been the same as sentencing themselves to death, or at best, making enemies who would do anything to harm them in the future.
After everything was done, Amon thought, ‘Jardel… That was the name I heard them say. It’s the same name as that annoying guy with the sound genes…’
Honestly, Amon didn’t expect that even now that guy still held a grudge against him for something so small.
In any case, they continued to explore the Secret Realm. Even though the gravity increased once more, being now 5x stronger, they were still able to roam freely.
If it was increased several atmospheres in a single instance, maybe they wouldn’t have been able to adapt so fast, however, since the increase was every hour, increasing at a rate of one atmosphere each time, it wasn’t that difficult to adapt.
“When it starts to get tough, it’s best to get out,” Mabel warned.
What had happened just now was a good example of how dangerous this place was. If they became restricted by the increased gravity and someone took advantage of that, they could end up being in trouble. Take these few students as an example: Because of Amon’s attack that numbed their bodies, preventing them from moving, they couldn’t even use their return crystals and ended up all dead corpses. If Amon’s team became careless, Mabel believed they could find themselves in a similar situation.
