Chapter 76 - Master’s True Power
"Hahaha!" His master laughed out loud as she checked their condition, shouting, "True enough. Still… You're doing great dealing with a Supreme Rank monster. Let me handle this guy first."
"Supreme?" Theo gasped as he recalled that Supreme Rank could only be achieved when they were above Level 500. No wonder that they couldn't even handle the ghost.
She landed on the ground and raised her spear.
Thunder started rumbling as the sky became even darker.
As if knowing that Theo's master was stronger, the skulls suddenly turned around and flew back, planning to kill her first.
"Hmm…" The old lady looked below her and muttered, "Is this a Ghost Turtle? It's a rare breed that is hard to find even among Level 500 monsters… To think there is something this big in this place. It's seriously concerning. Never mind. I will just kill it and be done with it."
She then looked at the skulls surrounding her, preparing to attack with the same laser that Theo and Alea received.
However, the latter only smiled. She channeled her Magic Power as lightning struck forth, albeit slower than normal lightning.
"Lightning Descent."
Before reaching her position, the old lady started swinging her spear to the side before spinning her body as if she was dancing.
Surprisingly, that bolt of lightning followed her movement and went to the side, destroying all the skulls until nothing remained.
When Theo witnessed such a thing, he dropped his jaws. "Impossible. Did she actually use her own spear like a lightning rod? But she can even control the direction of the lightning… Is she a human?"
His master ignored his reaction and swung her spear down after killing all skulls, dispersing the lightning to the ground.
"If I am not wrong, this guy's shell is too hard to even be penetrated, making it a fortress. And with the skulls he carries when moving, he is known as a mobile fortress. Well, I have met it once when I'm not in this country. So, what should I do?" She muttered before noticing three presences behind her.
She turned around and found three flying skeletons twice the size of her. The skeletons wore a tattered black robe and wielded a scythe on their hands.
"Hmm…" She narrowed her eyes as the skeletons disappeared, only to appear next to her a split second later, swinging their scythes down.
On the other hand, the old lady simply raised her spear and blocked all three scythes without much effort as she looked up. "You're annoying. Out of my way."
She pushed them back and blew away all three scythes simultaneously, along with her own spear spinning in the air. Blue lightning then started sparking all over her body as she bent her knees, placing her hand on the turtle's shell.
"Great Lightning Shock."
Boom.
A crater suddenly appeared on the turtle shell, spanning over seventy percent of its body. She also pushed the turtle too far to the point there was a huge crater underneath the turtle's feet, vibrating the ground.
The turtle screamed in pain as its body swayed left and right.
She didn't stop there. Grabbing the spear that had fallen right before her, she thrust the spear with the move she showed Theo, bursting the three skeletons.
The turtle opened its mouth again as it prepared another attack.
Sensing this power, the old lady hurriedly went straight to the turtle's head and hit it with the spear's handle as if smashing a giant hammer down.
Bang.
That one hit created a powerful shock wave, blowing trees to the side. Some even snapped and fell to the ground. The turtle's head flung downward as if something broke inside his head.
Even Theo needed to stop and ducked down while protecting both their bodies with the shield. "Kh… Is this Master's true power? She said this is a Supreme Rank Monster, right? To toy such a monster with ease, she…"
Theo drew a gasp as he realized something weird. "She must be a Mythical Rank Magic Warrior. However, there is not a single person who is above level 750 in this country. Don't tell me she is from another country? Why would such a person find me because of a certain promise? And it's not my brother?"
This question turned into two questions and they kept multiplying one after another.
However, that wasn't important, the fact that she handled this monster like this was enough to know that he and Alea would survive this ordeal.
After closing that mouth with a single strike, Theo's master went back to the turtle shell and planned to make another big move to settle everything since she didn't even scratch the turtle's head earlier.
The turtle also didn't plan to give up and created a huge purple circle above its shell.
Purple light then shone upon her as if a UFO wanted to kidnap her and she even felt that way, albeit it was closer to her soul being kidnapped instead.
"I am not playing here. You're too big and can't move that well… That's your major flaw. Facing someone far stronger than you is your greatest setback, big boy." She smiled and raised her spear again before waving it down as another bolt of lightning struck forth.
The lightning hit the purple circle and destroyed it, allowing her to move freely again.
Another lightning flew down, but its target was the old lady instead. Surprisingly, the old lady took it head-on before using her Magic Power to force the lightning to coat the spear.
Theo could see that the lightning sparked on her spear alone while her entire body was perfectly fine as if she was a human isolator.
She then spun her spear and pointed it down.
"Divine Lightning…" She lightly pierced the shell and channeled all the power to the turtle. "Discharge."
The lightning quickly spread all over the turtle's huge body as it even spread to the forest, blasting all trees like none other. The lightning sparked from one place to another, crushing, cracking, or even shattering the shell into pieces.
The turtle's skin wasn't that good either as red blood started flowing out of its body. On the legs, on the head, or even inside the shell. The lightning brutally skinned this turtle with its mighty power until the turtle lost its strength and dropped to the ground lifeless.
The old lady checked something before tapping the turtle with her hand, turning it into three cards. She grabbed the cards and disappeared.
Meanwhile, Theo gasped as he never thought such a thing was possible. When he blinked his eyes, his master already arrived before him, saying. "What do you think of that battle? There are many people at that level and I'm not even considered a genius. Do you think you can compete with them?"
Theo looked at his master's eyes, having no words to say as he couldn't answer it.
On the contrary, the old lady bent down and took out another medicinal tube that she used on him and injected it into Alea's body.
"You don't need to answer it right now." She smiled and grabbed both of them. "Now, let's go back first to heal from your injuries."
