Ancient Tears BloodLine-Chapter 1450: Power of black rune

Warrior Camp 4

The horned humanoid creature decided to attack again.

Shriek!

It let out a weird sound.

A horned humanoid creature appeared in front of me to attack. Its speed was so great that it was hard to perceive.

The next second, a claw was about to strike my body. I moved my broadsword. At the last moment, the claw struck the blade.

Boom!

A deafening noise occurred. The impact force caught me off guard. The force was so powerful that it sent my body flying back. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Thud!

I crashed into the ground. I had underestimated the power of the black energy.

Gasp!

The warriors gasped in surprise. The foreign creatures remained relaxed; no one felt the need to interfere in a battle involving an elite race member.

The horned humanoid creature was angry. It launched another attack, disappearing from its spot and reappearing in front of him in an instant.

Boom!

Jeremy swung at the foreign creature. The blade was about to touch the beast, but the horned humanoid creature grabbed the broadsword blade with two fingers.

The creature flashed a wide grin.

Seeing that, I was stunned. My gaze fell on rows of sharp black teeth. It looked dangerous. My heart stirred.

I tried to withdraw the broadsword, but the horned humanoid creature would not let go. It continued to grip the blade.

Seeing that, my eyes flashed with a glint. I circulated the purple lightning force. The energy flowed through my body and appeared in my right palm.

Boom!

Then, I poured the purple lightning force into the broadsword to charge it. The lightning came into contact with the claws of the horned humanoid creature.

Boom!

An explosion occurred. The purple lightning power blasted the body of the foreign creature. Annoyed, the creature withdrew its claws and retreated.

A quick gleam appeared in my eyes. I was sure that the black energy was not easy to deal with; only the purple lightning force could counter it.

I covered the broadsword blade with lightning once more. The black sword beaming with the lightning power.

...

Hidden Space (Foreign Creature Side)

A tall, multi-eyed foreign creature watched the battle. It saw the target going head-to-head against the elite race member.

The tall creature was shocked.

It hadn't expected the human target to be this strong. Elite race members were known for their strength and their ability to use black energy however they wished.

Yet, the target was using the power of purple lightning to contend with it.

It knew that purple lightning power was inherently destructive.

...

Hidden Space (Human Side)

Supervisor Melody was watching the battle. She was surprised; she hadn't expected Zack Lockwood to possess this much strength.

She knew about the Elite Race Members as well. They were incredibly hard to kill. Many talented warriors only managed to secure a tie against them.

Very few human warriors had ever killed an elite race member; those records belonged only to the disciples of the main elders and faction leaders.

If Zack Lockwood managed to kill the elite race member, he would join a very rare club of warriors.

Their warrior camp would receive great merit, and as the Supervisor, she would be rewarded as well.

Warrior Camp 4

Boom!

A continuous clash was happening. The broadsword repeatedly made contact with the black claws. He used extreme concentration and the power of perception to fend off the attacks.

Clang!

However, he was becoming extremely tired. On the other hand, the horned humanoid creature seemed fine.

I was waiting for the black energy to recede. I didn't think it was infinite. As time passed, I was getting better at this style of fighting, but it was extremely taxing.

My keen senses picked up danger. The next second, I became alert.

My perception covered everything, and I caught a minute detail: changes were happening to the horn of the humanoid creature.

Boom!

Black runes started appearing, covering the creature's horn. I felt extreme danger. I hadn't expected the horned humanoid creature to have another trump card.

Swoosh!

Taking the opportunity, I retreated.

Gasp!

The warriors gasped in surprise. They saw the changes in the horned humanoid creature as well.

The black runes started to spread from the horn across its entire body. In the blink of an eye, the runes covered it completely.

The warriors didn't know what was happening, but the foreign creatures saw the changes and their bodies trembled in fear.

They knew what the black runes represented. They knew that if they stayed, they would be in danger.

Swoosh!

In a flash, the foreign creatures retreated. Seeing this, the human warriors were shocked.

They didn't know what was going on, but they retreated in fear as well. Both sides had been fighting fiercely earlier, and now both had fled.

On the other hand, my eyes flashed with seriousness. The trump card of the horned humanoid creature did not seem ordinary.

Swoosh!

The horned humanoid creature's body grew taller than before. The next second, it disappeared. In a flash, it appeared in front of me. I felt an extreme sense of danger.

Slash!

I lashed out again, the broadsword covered in purple lightning power. It struck at the foreign creature.

The horned humanoid creature caught the blade with two fingers. The next second, it snapped the blade into pieces. My pupils shrank at the sight.

Boom!

In a flash, something struck my chest. My body was sent backward like a high-speed projectile.

I felt a searing pain inside my body. Before I knew it, I crashed into the ground with a heavy thud.

A huge, deep pit appeared in the ground as dust spread across the area.

The impact force overturned the nearby earth. I tried to get up, and a terrible pain shot through me.

I looked at my chest and saw visible claw marks. I immediately circulated my healing force, which brought a cooling sensation.

Then, I tried to move my body. It worked. I struggled, but eventually, I stood on my feet.
