Chapter 106: Chapter106-Betrayal Apostle
"This kind of petty trick, did you really think I would fall for it?"
Without a moment of hesitation, S. instantly distanced himself from John, retreating over ten meters, still feeling a lingering fear.
"He saw through it? How is that possible?"
Under normal circumstances, it's almost impossible for anyone to discern his movements without understanding the current class skill, which is why the thief's assassinations are so lethal!
But against the person in front of him, it failed in an unprecedented manner!
The opponent not only noticed it but even made a preemptive judgment!
Seeing the giant carnivorous plant growing frantically from under John's feet, a cold sweat dripped from S.'s forehead.
It was definitely not a matter of luck. The person in front of him genuinely predicted his landing spot!
But... how?
"Are you also a thief?"
"What? No, of course not. I've just seen too many of these foolish tricks."
With a casual wave of John's hand, the hexagram magic circle under his feet flashed.
At the moment the ice-based earth dragon charged forward, countless tentacles emerged, tightly binding the dragon's body and dragging it into the void!
Seeing this scene, S. was speechless with shock!
That monster, which had nearly wiped out their team and whose defenses his attacks couldn't even penetrate, just... disappeared?
"Oh? Are you shocked? Don't be too hasty; this is just the beginning."
"I offer my sacrifice and request His descent! Lord of the skies, hear my summon - Griffin Lord!"
Boom!
Suddenly, a fierce wind rose!
Countless feathers turned into sharp arrows, shooting forward at such speed that S. barely dodged them on instinct, yet his arm was inevitably scratched!
In the next moment, an eagle-headed, lion-bodied monster suddenly appeared before S., its sharp eyes locking onto him, leaving him nowhere to hide!
"What kind of monster is this?"
"You don't need to know. You just need to understand that today, you are certain to die."
In fact, even without summoning magic, John had a tenfold chance of eliminating S. The massive gap in their strength was insurmountable.
Any one of John's killing moves could easily take S. down.
But that would be too boring.
The betrayal from his past life, and everything that happened to Lily, must be avenged!
A powerful aura surged from S.'s body, black-purple flames instantly engulfing the Griffin Lord, reducing it to ashes without any resistance!
Seeing this, John's expression changed abruptly, and he quickly distanced himself!
"It hurts so much..."
At this moment, S. seemed like a different person, struggling to stand up.
His abdominal wounds still bled profusely, his ruptured organs continually slipping out. S. kept trying to push his intestines back in, but the more he did, the worse it got.
"Hey... it really hurts, you know?"
"Elaria, get back!"
This aura, it couldn't be mistaken. It was clearly the aura of an [Apostle]!
"However, I should thank you, John. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much longer I'd have been sealed in this pathetic body."
The man stopped his actions, raised his head, and gave John a sinister smile.
"Don't remember me? Your death is something I still recall vividly, and thinking back... it fills me with immense pleasure!"
"[Betrayal], [Deception], that guy wasn't wrong. You've indeed infiltrated here."
"I didn't want this either. Everything happened so suddenly, I didn't even have a chance to escape before I was forcibly reversed in time and sealed away. But now that I think about it, maybe it's not such a bad thing. To see you the moment I regain consciousness, do you know how happy that makes me, my old friend?"
S., or rather the [Betrayal Apostle], casually waved his hand, and the black-purple flames of vengeance surged forward like fiery serpents, melting even solid rock in their path!
Seeing this, John was startled.
"You know very well that such tricks don't work on me!"
At the crucial moment, John activated the inherent ability of the [Trickster]. The [Betrayal Apostle]'s brief distraction played right into John's hands!
As the flames dissipated, John stood unscathed, though his clothes had been burned to ashes, drifting away.
With a thought, John donned a new set of gear and sneered, "You seem much weaker, [Betrayal]."
"Only about a fifth of my peak power, but it's enough to deal with you."
"Are you sure?"
A grey-black barrier formed, isolating Elaria outside, creating a misty screen that left only John and [Betrayal] within.
Seeing this, [Betrayal] paused momentarily, then burst into laughter, his eyes moist with tears of mirth. "I thought it was my imagination. So you really did take the powers of [Deception] and [Lust]?"
"Don't worry, soon your power will belong to me too."
"Just with those two weaklings? Hahaha! This is interesting! I didn't expect our reunion to unfold like this. Not bad, not bad. You've made me very happy!"
As [Betrayal] spoke, he slowly lowered his head, staring directly into John's eyes, and said, word by word, "This time, I will savor every moment of your dying breath. It must be delicious!"
"The outcome is still uncertain. With only a fifth of your power left, you don't seem that formidable to me."
"Why don't we find out?"
