Chapter 197: Has Amon Lost Control?
After dismantling the blue wolves, another hour passed and the gravity increased again...
"Do we wish to continue?" Mabel asked, "Although it's a little difficult right now, I particularly want to keep going."
"I can keep going," Amon answered. He had a calm expression. It almost looked like he was unaffected by the Secret Realm's increased gravity.
The scenario changed, and they moved to the other side of the map. It was no longer the rainy scenery with lightning, but a richer firey weather; the atmosphere was hot as hell. Just arriving they already started to sweat.
The best in this place were Maisa, Julia, and Barbara. However, after using their genes, Amon, Ariel, and Mabel all felt better.
"This climate is ideal for Barbara." Ariel looked at her.
Barbara nodded. She felt her genes flutter like she was happy. The previous rainy weather was good for Amon the twins, but this one wasn't bad either. After all, this was the opposite pole of water in certain senses, and it made the twins have to more proficiently use water to withstand the scorching heat, thus improving their water control, even having more water element present in the air due to the fact that it evaporated in the presence of so much heat.
"... There are other people meditating here." Mabel stopped walking and warned the others when she saw a group of more than 10 people.
"They are students from Golden Phoenix University." Amon recognized the emblem on their shoulders instantly.
After clashing more than once with students from this university, Amon became wary of seeing students from there. The girls were the same.
From the conversation of the 19 students from the Golden Phoenix University, someone from their university had put a premium on Amon's head. Perhaps these people have the same intention as the previous group.
"They are meditating while the aura around them is scorching. They must all be fire genes," Barbara said.
The best known department at Phoenix University was flame genetics. In fact, it was common to find so many students with an affinity for flames from there. The reason was that this university has an abundant amount of fire-related spells.
The 12 students looked at Amon and the girls and snorted coldly. There was an arrogant air around them, so they ignored their presence, as if they were not afraid that they would attack them for meditating in this spot.
They were even more arrogant than Monique.
"Looks like it's just some random cocky idiots. Come on, let's get back to what we were doing. There's no need to get involved with them," Mabel said.
The rest agreed.
Before leaving, those students opened their eyes which were full of mockery they saw Amon's group leave.
"Tsk, I knew it. They're just a bunch of chickens. See, even when we're in a situation where we're vulnerable, they don't dare attack us!" One of them said with his voice full of boundless arrogance.
The truth was that they had just come out of a difficult fight against 30 flame wolves and were meditating to recover, however, even so, they did not let go of their arrogance. After all, they numbered 'only' 12 and had managed to kill 30 Innate wolves!
"Hehe, don't mind them. Other people might have high hopes for them, but, in front of us, could they even raise their heads?" another scoffed.
Amon and the girls who had already distanced themselves were not able to hear what those people said about them. They had already delved deeper into this side of the Secret Realm and came across a ridiculously large group of hellfire demon cats. There were at least 200 of them.
"Amon, now you can use all your strength!" Mabel said. She didn't want to give up just because they were surrounded by so many Innate beasts, however, she didn't dare take this many lightly.
"You serious?" A rare smile curved Amon's lips.
Soon after, Amon started activating spells.
*<Fury's Armor>!*
Condensing the power of his fury, Amon summoned an armor made of special matter, thus increasing the defense and attack proportionally to his fury, which was the strength of an Innate. Now he was equivalent to a Level 2 Innate in terms of power.
*<Torture>!*
Next came condensing the fury's power and summoning a special aura of fury power that increased his speed and damage. It was a fiery red aura with some golden threads.
*<Manifestation of Fury>!*
A scythe was then created from the power of the fury. It was large, with the curved head of a blood red scythe and the 250 cm handle. This scythe brought with it increased fury damage. The more fury the user had, the greater the damage.
"Haha ha!" Suddenly, Amon chuckled even more sinisterly than Ariel.
In the next instant, he practically teleported into the midst of the demon cats, and the scythe in his hand spun. It could only be seen the moment he spun around, several demonic cat heads going up in the air, and the girls already lost sight of Amon. Soon he blinked back into another group of cats and they heard Amon chuckle again as another group of demon cats lost their heads.
"Fun~!" Amon's voice echoed.
It was totally different from what they were used to hearing. He seemed to enjoy killing the demon cats with the big scythe.
Mabel and the other girls: "..."
The shock was so great that they didn't even have time to react to the situation. After all, it was the first time they saw Amon like this, even for Ariel and the girls.
Mabel didn't even speak. She always thought of Amon as someone calm at all times. It was the first time she saw him like this.
"Side effect of the spell he used?" Mabel murmured. She firmly believed that this was it, or else this situation couldn't be explained to her. The girls thought the same, or else this situation made no sense.
One of the more sinister parts of this situation was that even when Amon was hit, the demon cats got the worst of it. It seemed their minds were disturbed and they started attacking each other. This effect was thanks to the effect of the spell mixed with his attacks. It was an automatic effect that when he used fury, when attacked, it caused a negative effect on the enemy's mind, disturbing their emotions, and the greater the fury, the greater the negative effect.
For Amon, who was in a berserk state, this automatic passive spell worked better than normal, as it normally only had a certain percentage chance to activate, however, in his current state, it was almost a 100% chance to activate and with an effect that was quite strong. The demon cats fight to the death and not break free of the mind manipulation effect was a good example.
"Shall we join in?" Maisa scratched her head.
There were over 50 demon cat corpses already scattered across the battlefield. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before Amon killed them all single-handedly...
"Can we?" Mabel asked, "Is it safe?"
She didn't have the confidence of shrugging off the same effect as the demonic cat victims of Amon's scythe.
"I think so... Although Amon seems to be affected by the spell he used, I think he is still aware of things," Barbara concluded. "Amon, is it okay for us to fight too?" she screamed.
"Yes!" Amon's voice echoed. It was a little colder than usual and it even brought out the feeling of evil in his voice.
The girls shivered when they heard it (Barbara and Ariel perhaps for different reasons than the other girls)...
In any case, upon hearing that Amon was in agreement, the girls began to attack as well. This time they went all out, or else they wouldn't even have a chance to kill many demon cats, even with such a large group.
The pitiful roars of demon cats echoed. It didn't even seem to be the same group of demon cats that roared with ferocity before, rather more like mewling... Could it even be a little cute?
Honestly, it was a bit unfortunate for these demon cats to have appeared in front of Amon, as he wasn't greatly affected by the increased gravity's effect. Particularly when using the fury gene buffs he was almost able to totally ignore the increased gravity. And although he released more of his pent-up emotions, Amon still kept himself sane. After all, he had the calm genes and he already had a very high mastery of his fury genes.
While fighting with the scythe, a few times Amon used lightning to attack. He more or less used it to move faster, almost looking like he was a ghost as he blinked and appeared in one location and soon he was on the opposite side.
When a larger group of demon cats managed to surround him, Amon let out a scream full of frightening laughter.
*<Star Justice>!*
It was then that this spell was activated with the highest damage ever used by him, channeling a lot of lightning with the burning rage of lightning stars and fury. To add to it, this spell was still able to bypass the target's defense. The damage increased so much that some of the demon cats around were caught by the pillar of lightning that was expanded, destroying everything around Amon, turning into dust and leaving behind only their genetic cores. Even the bones were gone.
