242 Chapter 242
Even if the poison were to be stopped, it would spread until it reached the students. Zavier realized it was most likely related to the poison.
That poison was extremely complex and difficult to detect. Despite his intimidating physique, Zavier knew he couldn't keep fighting the Devil Worker.The poison was the source of the problem!
Zavier would not be able to survive if there was no antidote.
The Devil Worker smiled cruelly and asked, as if sensing Zavier's thoughts, "Do you still wish to depart? Are you scared? I guarantee you that once the poison gets to you, it won't matter what kind of life you have!"
Zavier ignored him and maintained his expression. He maintained his focus on his goal. The blood blade in Zavier's hands moved faster than he could imagine, piercing towards the Devil Worker's heart.
However, just as the Devil Worker predicted, a strong gust of wind blew past before the blade could reach his chest.
Suddenly, Zavier was yanked backwards, and soon after landing flat on his back, he felt a strong force pulling his arm and legs. He noticed that his limbs were weakening and that he couldn't move an inch.
"No… no…" Zavier struggled to break free from the grip, but it was futile. His body could move a little because he was tightly restrained, but he couldn't do much else.
"Pooh!"
The Devil Worker's chest was covered in blood.
The clone's blood blade pierced him, it turned out. These were the possibilities that Zavier provided for clone. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
However, Zavier frowned. The wound the mage clone made was much smaller, and the blood running down was very acidic.
The venomous acid in the blood caused everything within three meters of the wound to corrode. When it came into contact with something, anything within the circle quickly turned into a pile of charred ash.
It was fortunate that the cold blaze all over his body kept the green smoke in the air at bay; otherwise, he would have been trapped.
The Devil Worker launched his active attack at this point.
His body disappeared in front of Zavier, and a sudden smell of rotten eggs came from behind the cloned illusionist.
The illusionist clone's reaction in the system was extremely fast; he was flying back at the same time, eyes instantly and the Devil Worker stare.
The other side's strength as A-class professionals, illusionist clone only controlled him for a brief moment. His hands clasped the lava sword, cutting the illusionist clone's waist.
Just as the lava giant sword was about to cut the illusionist clone, two strings from the blood-condensed shield blocked the attack on the slash.
"Boom!"
This only worked for a split second before two blood shields shattered one after the other, scattering crumbling lava on Zavier mage clone's trouser leg.
The collision of flesh and lava resulted in the leg's blood and flesh being burned.
In a fight with an A-class professional, it was undoubtedly a dangerous situation.
Zavier's eyes swept, and he knew he couldn't be kept waiting any longer.
The clone beside him collapsed and shattered instantly, frightening even the Devil Worker.
"You practice black magic, brat!"
Blood and flesh in Zavier's clone body had formed a set of blood armor before he could finish his sentence.
Simultaneously, he cast an illusion spell forward.
A dense forest suddenly appeared on the ground in the Devil Worker's vision. A swarm of rats crawled out of one corner and merged into a massive tide of ones.
"Ha, good strength, it's a complex illusion scene." The Devil Worker vanished into thin air in an instant.
Zavier frowned, wanting to use 'Crescent Flash' to solve the enemy in front of him with a move, despite the fact that this guy was very experienced. He had to spend a lot of mana to keep casting illusion rather than staying in place and being hit by an unknown attack.
The battle became difficult at this point, but the illusions of the illusionist were extremely powerful. Advanced illusion scene construction may cause some confusion in the opponent's eyes.
Zavier kept closing the gap between himself and the opponent, and blood coagulated into a rope-like weapon that swept towards the opponent.
As soon as he got close, he turned blood into a weapon and attempted to kill his opponent.
Because of the close quarters fight, the Devil's Worker was able to relax a little.Zavier secretly took control of Kekkaishi's body in the corner to set a boundary. This showed the Devil Worker that Kekkaishi's only advantage was that he was controllable than the Devil Worker.
Instant movement and spatial flicker spells wouldn't be allowed inside the boundary as long as they couldn't instantly break through it.
Zavier was guessing, and he kept using Illusionist's [Scene Building] and his own attack synergy to make the Devil Worker flicker toward areas with simple terrain.
Because the complex terrain couldn't see where the attack was coming from, the Devil Worker would constantly try to use the blink ability subconsciously towards the simple terrain.
Zavier exploited the fact that humans subconsciously avoid obstacles in front of them, and lured the opponent into his trap by utilizing the fact that the more complex the terrain, the more likely it was to conceal an attack.
At this point, the Devil Worker couldn't use his Blink skill, and he could see a lot of arrows flying away from him.
The illusionist clone was panting and struggling to keep the massive illusion going.
"Pooh!"
Under the illusion's concealment, nearly a hundred feet of blood-colored, arc-shaped wind blade revealed its sharp fangs.
The lower half of the Devil's Worker's body was instantly severed by a single blow.
Zavier dashed towards his opponent, not giving him the slightest chance to slow down.
He violently threw two blood blades with his left and right hands as he closed the distance.
His speed increased, and the flying knife stabbed the Devil Worker as soon as the person moved to the side, hand up the knife, and cut off the opponent's head.
The surrounding illusion vanished instantly, and the illusionist clone collapsed to the ground exhausted.
When Zavier realized that Devil Worker had not died, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The earth was nourished and corroded by his blood.
He has a cold smile on his face "Zavier, even if we didn't manage to kill you this time, do you think you can hide from the hunt forever? Let me let you in on a little secret: the group that came to kill you before, the Kekkaishi next to us, and we are not a team. We're only a little stronger than Kekkaishi's group, hahahahahahahaha."
Zavier frowned, his mind racing; he only knew that the Devil Worker's most powerful ability was blinking, and he was unaware of any other abilities. Those who dared to go the Devil's way was either ruthless or insane.
In his opinion, the man in front of him was not even dead without his head, most likely because some aspect of his profession guaranteed him not to die for some time.
The most likely explanation was that he was stalling for time while waiting for his teammates to rescue him.
Zavier raised the blood blade in his hand, ready to sever the remaining head and end the ordeal.
The head then immediately yelled, "Wait, wait, wait, don't you want to know why we walked into Caesar University casually? I can work something out with you. If you save my life, I'll reveal some secrets to you. It has not been easy for me to get this far, but don't worry, I will not lie to you."
Zavier clenched his teeth as he thought about what he saw when he used [Danger Assessment: there would be no way to stop the demon once it came down.]
The chance to learn the intelligence of the forces who assassinated him was not uncommon.
"Is there any spell that can tell me if this person in front of me is lying?" he asked the system in his mind.
[Perception system has the skill lie determination, based on the other party's expression, breathing, movement, and eyes for a comprehensive conclusion, there is no guarantee of accuracy if the recipient of the spell has specifically trained on this result.]
It was useful to have a foundation for judging at this point.
Zavier didn't even have to think about it, he just started recalling the memories transmitted by the perception system clone.
Then she discovered the spell about the lie judgment.
