Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 893 Twice Bitten

Chapter 893 Twice Bitten


Nora Alstreim had successfully parried the purple lightning attack with her quick-maneuver of the purple flames that protected her arm, and the damage it caused was negligible to her, but in their first bout, she lost. She lost in the sense that she had taken the first hit.


"Since warm-up is over, I will now come at you seriously, so don"t you dare slack off!" Nora Alstreim smirked in a severe light as she clasped her hands.


"Earth Smiting Searing Flame Step!"


The purple flames that danced around her formed a whirlwind of flames below her feet. On top of growing purple flamed wings, she seemed to possess the support of the surging flames that propelled her speed into three-fold.


She instantly arced behind Logan, traveling a kilometer in a mere second and caught him off-guard.


Logan was a one-step too late to counterattack as he fell for her feint. It looked like she was casting a technique, but it wasn"t, so he had to quickly revolve the essence energy to counter her move. However, knowing that he would fail to defend as well, he dodged towards the side.


Lightning buzzed below his feet, and his steps seemed to leave a trail of marks, forming smokes of haze that further enhanced his speed. Each step he made over the air below his feet reverberated, giving a low echo like a clap of distant thunder.


"Thunder Cloud Movement!"


Flames seared through his body, but it turned out to be his afterimage left through sheer speed, and the heat revolved from his purple-colored lightning.


The Mid-Level Sky Grade Movement Technique that Logan used seemed to go well with his current Essence Gathering Cultivation Technique, Incursive Barren Lightning Manual. It was the Peak-Level King Grade Lightning Attributed Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual that Davis gave to his father.


After all, Extinction Lightning Judgment Manual became redundant as its grade was low. Fortunately, the Incursive Barren Lightning Manual was compatible with their previous circulation methods, and though there were slight differences within the circulation methods of the two cultivation manuals, it didn"t differ much.


Nora Alstreim didn"t stop pursuing as she stepped on the air like a purple flaming bird. She kept her advantage and chased Logan as she attacked with her purple flames. Her purple flames danced around her arms as essence energy surged out like a tide as the essence energy formed a whip made of purple flames that struck Logan from above.


Logan easily dodged it with his Thunder Cloud Movement. However, the flaming purple whip that once struck the ground spilt into two waves that attacked both sides.


Logan"s pair of eyes narrowed into two tiny slits. Having no choice, he flew into the air, and knowing that Nora Alstreim would follow up with a critical attack, he gathered all the essence energy he had condensed all this while to his hand and formed it into an irregular shape of frenzied purple lightning before he threw it at her!


*Boom!~*


The purple flames that were about to hit Logan exploded as it crashed with the purple lightning, sending Logan flying without any impediment whatsoever.


Logan looked to the front with his eyes and saw that Nora Alstreim was hot in pursuit as she pa.s.sed through the explosion without incurring any damage.


A curve appeared on his lips, and the next moment, the sound of lightning crackled and pursued as it chirped behind Nora Alstreim!


*Bzzz!~~*


Nora Alstreim"s eyes went wide as she turned her head to look behind, only to witness a barrage of purple lightning come at her while searing the air in its trail. She hurriedly cast a defensive technique behind her, not wanting to lose the opportunity to defeat her opponent with a continuous barrage of techniques.


If she forced Logan a little bit away, she could even win through forcing him out of bounds. She didn"t even hesitate to look back anymore as she continued to pursue him.


However, that turned out to be fatal!


"Watch out!"


Nora Alstreim"s scalp turned numb as she noticed another bolt of purple lightning come at her from the side.


"How!??"


Her mind screamed inwardly, but the purple lightning bolt struck right at her waist, causing her to wince in pain. The bolt of purple lightning was truly powerful that it almost fried her internal organs upon exploding within her pores. Fortunately, she was able to bring her Peak-Level Silver Stage battle aura info the fray to suppress the internal damage to a bare minimum.


The battle aura did nothing in a big note, but it lasted enough time for the essence energy to arrive and counter the purple lightning"s berserking energy.


Logan finally stopped one and a half kilometers away from the edge of the martial platform. He looked at the wincing Nora Alstreim and felt that it was enough. He controlled the urge to look at Claire"s expression but imagined that it would be uncontrollably elated. He even momentarily forgot that he wouldn"t be able to see her expression because she was wearing a mask just like him.


Nevertheless, he couldn"t help but sigh at the Cultivation Manual he cultivated in as he looked at his two arms, which were slightly burned. The technique he used was unable to block the explosion that was borne from the collision of the two powers, making his wrists slightly injured.


In truth, the Incursive Barren Lightning Manual was more suitable for Davis.


This manual"s offensive techniques were off the charts that it solely concentrates on the area of effect attacks and destruction alone. The property of extinction was better suited to his kind of Cultivation Manual as it was able to make an area become barren from the rain of black lightning.


In any case, there seemed to be only one defensive technique in the Incursive Barren Lightning Manual, which was actually an offensive technique in disguise, which is this irregular-shaped purple lightning which Logan threw at Nora Alstreim.


The moment it was thrown, it split into three in a stable manner from the frenzied veil, with each one capable of defending and attacking by the user"s control. One of them crashed with the purple flames, and the other two hid in the chaotic explosion. One of the remaining two lightning bolts changed into a barrage of purple lightning and chased after Nora Alstreim while the other managed to evade sight by mixing in within the lightning barrage.


The moment Nora Alstreim formed a barrier and no longer looked back spelled her blunder. The last bolt of purple lightning traveled in an arc, and by the time she managed to sense it even without hearing the warning, it was too late. The purple lightning managed to hit her waist, electrocuting her.


Though the damage wasn"t critical, Nora Alstreim didn"t look too good.


She fell for the same trap twice!


It didn"t take a genius that using the flaming barrier was strong and durable, but it also blocked her eyesight and scrambled her sense. It worked against her in the end!


Her small fists clenched as her pupils shook in shame!


These two mistakes were entirely her fault. She was too hasty in wanting to get back at Logan, but she was able to realize this fact in time, making herself calm down. However, that didn"t mean that her impression of this masked deviant didn"t drop further.


"It seems like we tied in this bout. However, I"m still in the leading."


Logan had enough as he accomplished his goal, so he asked, "Don"t you think that it"s time that you surrendered?"
