Chapter 423: A Crimson Figure

Nathan could feel that there was suppression on him, and for some reason, his full strength could not be revealed in front of this lady. At this moment, he could not help but think, ’Could it be that this was the lady that those guys were talking about?’

Nathan could remember that during the time that he had decided to join the other side, he was informed that there was a person that he had to look for. That person was capable of dealing with them, those who possessed the dark energy.

At that time, he thought that it was just a joke. But right now, feeling that he could not release his full strength at this moment, he thought that perhaps this was what they were talking about.

But of course, Nathan did not know that this was definitely not the nemesis for the dark race at all. Instead, it was just a special ability that Rachel possessed, and not the profession that she possessed.

Rachel did not care much about what Nathan thought about her. Instead, in her mind, she was only thinking about eliminating this guy, so that she could level up. It was only then that she was going to prove to her master that the ability that she was talking about was actually true.

Of course she was thinking that it would be better if she would actually be capable of leveling up the moment that she dealt with this guy. But even then, she was not sure about it, considering that this was going to be the first time that she was going to deal with a creature in this world.

Nathan did not spend that much time on the ground. The moment that he fell onto the ground, as his thoughts ran rampant, he immediately rose to his feet. At the same time, he controlled the wind element that he had gained temporary control over, to continuously attack Rachel, to try to slow her down.

But it was then that he realized that it was definitely impossible for him to be able to deal any damage to this lady. After all, all the attacks that he was launching were completely ignored, but at the same time, the lady was charging over without her speed being reduced at all.

It was as if his attacks were completely useless against this lady. At this moment, Nathan could not help but feel a little anxious. After all, after sacrificing a lot, he had finally managed to reach the level that he was in right now. But even then, he was going to lose here? There was no way that he was going to accept that.

But even if Nathan accepted or didn’t, that did not matter considering that he was not strong enough to decide his own fate right now.

Nathan had just gotten back to his feet when Rachel had arrived in front of him again. At this moment, Nathan could only resort to defending. He realized that it was pure wastage of energy if he continued to attack this lady.

His energy reserves were quite high considering that the black liquid that he was controlling was capable of absorbing energy. That was the only reason why he was capable of fighting with Storm for quite a long time, and until now, he still possessed quite a huge amount of energy.

But even then, the energy that he possessed was being depleted as he tried to defend against this lady. With every attack that he defended, the amount of energy that was required in order to solidify the black liquid into a shield was quite high.

Additionally, the black liquid was no longer capable of absorbing that much energy considering the damage that it had already received. At the same time, the injuries that he was suffering were also accumulating, and completely unlike Storm, this lady was attacking him from a close range.

That implied that as long as he lost control over the black liquid, he would definitely fall at a great disadvantage, and it would not be that much difficult for this lady to eliminate him in a matter of seconds.

No matter how cruel it was, that was actually the truth. And although he did not want to accept that, Nathan had no choice but to admit that he had no chance of surviving in a fight against this lady.

At this moment, Nathan decided that he had to retreat from this place. Even if he was not going to gain control over the territory that had already been taken over by somebody else, he did not care. After all, what was the use of the territory if he could not maintain his own life?

Additionally, he felt that the one who had taken over the territory was kind of related to this territory. Otherwise, why was it that Angela was in this place?

But even then, Nathan had already realized that it was definitely going to be quite difficult for him to be able to retreat. After all, the violent lady in front of him was not giving him a chance to breathe at all, and she was continuously attacking him violently.

It was as if she had suddenly gone mad, and the only way to relieve the madness was by attacking him, and that was what she was doing right now.

Nathan was continuously suffering from the injuries that came from the backlashes, together with those that came due to the physical contact that he possessed with the attacks from Rachel.

The pill that he had taken had not yet been fully consumed considering that 2 minutes had not gone by, but even then, the recovery rate could actually not match the rate at which he was being injured. It was clear that he was definitely going to die even before the medical effect of the pill was completely consumed.

Bang!

Another solid punch landed on Nathan’s chest. Nathan’s eyes bulged open, before his body was launched backwards due to the attack. Nathan could feel that his internal organs had shifted, and blood was coming from the corners of his lips, and it did not stop for a while.

This time, not only had he suffered injuries from the attack, but due to the backlash of the black liquid. It was at this moment that Nathan finally realized that the black liquid was just another way for him to get injured.

But even then, it was the only thing that he could rely on in order to be able to avoid being completely destroyed by the attacks from Rachel. So, Nathan was in a dilemma for a moment.

As he looked up, he realized that Rachel was once again charging over. Gritting his teeth, Nathan decided to make his final move. Without hesitation, he immediately mixed the black liquid together with his blood.

The moment that the black liquid came into contact with his blood, Nathan’s expression suddenly turned pale. At the same time, Nathan could feel immense pain in his body, as if there was something that was scratching him from the inside.

At the same time, Nathan felt that his blood was being consumed. Although it was true that the black liquid was not in direct contact with his blood inside, but somehow, it was capable of absorbing his blood.

The moment that the black liquid began absorbing Nathan’s blood, it suddenly changed from being black, taking a crimson shade. The moment that it changed, it suddenly became stronger than before.

Of course Rachel immediately experienced the changes that were occurring. But even then, it was not as if she cared. No matter what, to her, this guy in front of her was considered as a dark creature. Due to that, he possessed a great disadvantage if he fought against her.

The crimson liquid suddenly solidified, and formed a humanoid figure. The moment that this figure was formed, Nathan immediately collapsed onto the ground, his eyes completely void.

It was as if his soul had suddenly been sucked out of his body, living only a sack of bones and flesh, considering that even blood could not be seen due to how pale his skin was.

Nathan had actually sacrificed his own life in order to create this humanoid figure that was created from the black liquid. According to what he had been told, as long as he sacrificed his blood, he would be able to awaken a mighty figure.

That figure would come out and help him. But it seemed that he had been given false information, considering that in order for this figure to be formed, a sacrifice was required, and Nathan was the sacrifice considering that it was his blood that was utilized in order to summon this creature.

The aura of the creature that had appeared was higher as compared to the one that Nathan possessed. It was clear that what they had told him about the mighty figure being stronger was true.

The figure had just opened its eyes when it suddenly realized that there was a punch that was approaching its face. For a moment, there was great surprise in those eyes, as the fist approached at an incredible speed.

Bang!

Before the crimson figure could react, it was immediately blasted backwards by the punch. The moment that it landed on the ground, it did not stop at all, but continued sliding backwards, forming a big trench on the ground.

But after it came to a halt, the crimson figure stood up once again, and was completely unscathed. It was as if the attack that had been launched by Rachel was completely useless on this crimson figure.

And for the first time ever since she entered into the battlefield, Rachel could not help but be surprised. After all, this was the first time that there was going to be a creature that was capable of ignoring the attack that she had launched.

So, she decided to pay attention to the appearance of this crimson figure, looking at the details that it possessed. Immediately after she concentrated, she could not help but raise her brows a little.
