Chapter 832 Battle Of Rebellion [V]
The wind artifact is now in my hands, safe and sound while the one who stole it is now dead. There was barely any battle as I dominated him while he was speaking his dialogue. The sooner we are done with this, the better, and I skipped through the entire fight by stopping him mid-dialogue using a gun and killing him in the process.
It\'s a bit disrespectful if I have value of chivalry but I don\'t value it as I prefer to win over anything. I only respect them if they are worthy to be respected or during friendly matches, otherwise, it\'s kill or be killed. My survival matters more than this.
I checked his body for any loot. Aside from his armor that I am not going to take it, the other items are not that worthy as well. But despite my disinterest in the items I got from his body, my Versatile Weapon seems to have a different idea.
"Seriously? You want to eat this?"
The shadow dragon nodded with a salivating mouth while staring at the items I got.
"Ugh, well, nothing wrong with it, go and eat some, I guess. Devour it."
On cue with my command, the shadow dragon extended itself from the Versatile Weapon, opened its big mouth, and devours the items as well as the dead body of the commanding officer who I just stripped down some of the items on his body.
"Wha?! Hey, I didn\'t even command you to eat even the body! Seriously..." I scratch my head seeing the guy happily devour the whole thing like it was nothing. I seriously have no idea how this guy manages to devour everything that he eats without even having some kind of constipation. I kind of envy this guy as he can just eat almost everything as long as he desires.
I checked the Versatile Weapon stats and to my surprise, the guy is "digesting" the food, which means he received something from eating those stuff. It\'s only 2 hours before he digested it fully but once he does digest it, the Versatile Weapon will receive at least one or two new stats increase and if lucky enough, a new skill. But I am hoping for increased stats. Right now, I am swimming in skills and I don\'t even know whether I can use the skills I already have right now as some of them are pretty much situational in usage.
Anyways, I reload the bullets of the Pain Delivery and made sure that there are no enemies left lurking. After all, I easily surpassed everything without any problems.
Just as I was about to ascend to the next floor, a few explosions can be heard below me and the building shook a few times, showing how the battles happening below have been destructive compared to mine. How are they faring though? Perhaps I should wait for them. It won\'t be long before they are done with what they are doing.

While Bladeheart is waiting for the two princesses to be done with their battles, the two are still in a heated battle.
Queen Tori, blocking and dodging all the curses and spells being hurled in her direction by the enemy Hexer.
"What now? I thought you would defeat me, then why are you even dodging? Just so you know that making me exhausted won\'t be possible as I can do this all day!" the Hexer grinned as she released another curse ability. Queen Tori blocked her though.
Queen Tori didn\'t say anything and just focused on defending and dodging. She didn\'t even make some sneak attacks here and there, she just remained dodging and to block without even showing signs that she will be fighting back. As a result, the Hexer is now a bit angry at the current situation.
"Grrrr, you b*tch, you are toying with me, aren\'t you? You are just trying to keep me like this so that you can taunt me?"
"I never said anything like that, whatever you think of it, then it\'s none of my business."
The Hexer didn\'t like what she heard.
"That\'s it, you will be dying here then. I have had enough of your sh*t. DIE!"
She unleashes a spell and below Queen Tori\'s feet is a black five-layer Magic Circle rotating very fast. However, instead of fear and surprise, Queen Tori only grinned and stared at the magic circle with fascination.
"Interesting."
Soon, the spell erupted and a black flame erupted inside the magic circle that even the surrounding area seems to have burned as a result. A flame that is born from a curse and is made from a curse. One that burns from the hatred and power of the resentment the caster had toward the world. A very strong ability that can instantly turn everything that it touches to ash.
The Hexer grinned, seeing how the flames are burning brightly, which should be enough to burn the wretched woman who is clearly mocking her just by using her own actions. She grinned as she watches the flames dance as she imagined the final moments of the woman she just fought.
However, her imagination and her glee at the sight have turned to a frown and she didn\'t like what she sees. The flames that should have burned for quite a while stopped burning, revealing the woman she just fought with. No wounds, no curses, and most of all, she is not burned to a crisp. She is alive as if she didn\'t even get affected by it.
"What? What is going on? How come you are still alive?! My spell should have destroyed you the moment the flames erupted!"
"Sure, if you have fought anyone who doesn\'t have any way to understand your curse. However, it seems today is your unlucky day, Hexer," Queen Tori pulled a ceremonial bell out of nowhere and shook it once.
TING!
"GAH!" the Hexer coughed out blood and frowned. What just happened? She just heard a bell sound and then...
TING!
A painful pain registered on her body once more and she started to bleed.
"What is happening... GUHK!" she coughed out blood once more. Her body has gotten weaker all of a sudden and she felt her vision dim.
TING!
CRACK!
"GAHHHHH!" Her screams resounded as her left arm suddenly got twisted in a very disturbing way. It seems like she got her arm dislocated all of a sudden.
TING!
CRACK!
Her other arm twisted and suddenly got squeezed like cloth and all the bones present on her other arm had been crushed to dust and her flesh has been twisted beyond comprehension while the blood on her arm squeezes out of it.
"Interesting. So those are the curses you tried to throw at me. I can still do more but I didn\'t want to just end your suffering there."
"H-How come..."
"How come I managed to use your curses against you? No, I didn\'t use your curses and I don\'t have the capabilities to use curses as well to inflict harm to my enemies. However, I have the ability to reflect the spells you used against me and fire them back to the one who used them. You can say that I have just given it back to you."
"GUHK, UGH..." the Hexer couldn\'t even properly talk as her body has been too battered at this point. She might even die soon enough.
"Just so you know, a Hexer shouldn\'t have challenged an Onmyoji against a battle. It\'s a clear one-sided battle. After all, curses don\'t have any effect on us."
TING!
That\'s the last sound the Hexer heard as her body was immediately engulfed in the dark flames. The flames that she has used earlier against the woman who is standing right before her.
