Divine Path System
chapter-1331

The world seemed to flicker.

Like the brightness from a fluctuating bulb on a lonely night, the light went on and off before a blinding explosion shook the space.

The two Veyan warriors teleported away from Varian and glanced at each other. Not a word was said but they saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.

They could feel it because of the nature of their work. This man…

was different. He wasn't like those spoiled princes who only fought the selected opponents.

His battle style looked reckless at a first glance but it's actually honed through countless experiences. It'd be a grave mistake to underestimate his confidence as bravado.

"We'll take him down first," The older of the two said. "The Princess can wait."

With a simple nod, the Veyan disappeared.

His body blurred as he dashed through space, teleporting at an unimaginable rate and reaching Varian in an unpredictable trajectory.

Despite having the space sense, Varian still struggled to anticipate the Veyan's appearance.

If it's someone else, like Princess Sonya, then she would've no clue where they're going to attack from or how they're going to attack.

That's one of the biggest reasons she lost. She had to spend an enormous amount of aura to keep her defenses active while trying to attack the Orions who just kept teleporting away.

'They want to hunt…' Varian closed his eyes.

The space around him was a like static sea. If anyone teleported, there would be ripples. But these guys were almost walking over water, leaving negligible traces.

Varian punched out abruptly and his fist passed through empty space.

"Kekeke," A crude laughter rang in the space and the space above his arm turned sharp.

Varian hurried to mobilize his defenses but the unexpected attack gave him little time to respond. Like a blade, the space stung through his forearm and nearly severed it away.

Blood spilled out for a brief moment before his Adept power sealed it off.

Without stopping, Varian kicked back. His foot grazed the surprised Veyan and nearly tore through his defense. But no matter how close, he still missed the shot.

On the other hand, the Veyan released the power of space right at Varian's abdomen.

A space sink was opened right over his abdomen.

Like a sink devouring all waste water, the space sink began to devour everything in the surrounding space.

Varian's muscles twisted and tore apart as they were sucked into the space sink. A large hole appeared on his abdomen.

"Let go…"

He tried to move away but the space sink sucked onto him like a swamp that'd never let go.

While he was still in this trouble, the Veyan appeared again, a space blade in his hand, aiming right for his head.

"Fuck off!" Varian swung his sword and he missed again.

But thanks to Requiem's properties of life and death, it shot out a concentrated laser beam right through the Veyan's defense and cut through his body.

"Arghh!"

With a scream, the Veyan retreated. The crimson power in his palm began to spread upward, devouring all vitality in the way.

If allowed, it could kill him in minutes.

The Veyan didn't hesitate and severed his own palm. Giving Varian a bitter glare, he teleported away.

The other Veyan sneaked in and activated another space sink.

He learned from his peer's mistake and stretched the space between him and the sword.

As a result, when Requiem shot the beam of death once again, it took much longer than before, giving the Veyan time to teleport away.

And Varian got stuck in between the two space sinks. As if one wasn't enough to make his life hard, two were tearing him apart, bit by bit.

'Yes, I also need to do something drastic. I can't get out of this without damage.'

His eyes flashed with resolve and the ring on his finger glowed.

Varian's own powers turned into space path for a moment and a huge space crack appeared right behind him. Unlike the other two, he didn't resist this one and it devoured him right away.

But as the price, he lost an arm and a leg to the space sinks that tried to hold on until the last moment.

"That was rough," Baldur couldn't even observe anything of significance.

Even though the whole battle was happening inside the castle, the space had been extended to a ridiculous degree that it's no longer in the vicinity.

Moreover, he along with Sonya stayed inside a very resilient formation, which shielded them from any dangerous shockwaves.

Of course, even though he's safe and could nothing but observe, they were moving too fast for him. All he saw was a bunch of flash and blank before space cracking around Varian and the latter falling into a space crack.

"He's doing well," Princess Sonya, who focused on quick recovery, commented with a bitter face.

Unlike Baldur, she could observe everything that's happening. She was surprised at Varian's ring artifact that could create such a powerful space crack. It's almost as strong as the work of a rank 7 space warrior.

"He's not as strong as me. Even if they're injured and exhausted, they're still stronger than him. But he's keeping both of them engaged." Her voice was filled with envy and shock that her expression hid.

"If one of them dared to leave and target me…the other might risk dying." The Princess drew a long sigh as she admitted those words.

Baldur was surprised at the princess' words before chuckling. "Your brother-in-law is very powerful, isn't he?"

"Shut up! I'll dig out everything after this battle ends." She stretched her arms and pointed her palms towards the warriors.

"I suggest you go somewhere. This place won't be safe soon." Sonya advised with a solemn expression, her eyes flashing with danger.

"O-Okay, good luck!" Baldur took shelter in another barrier.

"Haa!" Sonya breathed out deeply and her gaze locked onto the two Veyans.

Her eyes glowed green.
