Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

806  Chapter 806- Deeply Insulting

"Bastard, take me with you" Granfield shouted rushing towards Lucas. However, his path was blocked by Axe hand Adger who came attacking him with the giant axe he had for his right hand.

On the other hand, Annette who hadn't expected Lucas to be able to actually know a spatial skill was equally surprised. She extended her hand, intending to use a spirit skill, when Benny Beckerman blitzed towards her. Follow current s on NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt

"Oh no, you don't" he spoke with an excited smile on his face. The speed that he just displayed, was much much faster than before. Not only that, but the colour and appearance of his Lightning Suit was also different.

Previously if it could be said that the lightning suit made him look elegant and was blue in colour, right now, it gave him more of a brutish atmosphere and the colour of the lightning was a deep red like that of blood.

"Hehe… [Crimosn Life Rupture]" Benny muttered grinning ear to ear.

In the face of his aggression, Annette simply snorted and continued casting her spell towards Lucas. Spirits of lightning and fire appeared before her, producing intense electrical surges and flames.

On her command, they moved in a helix and targeted the distant Lucas who was busy activating the spatial skill.

"I told you don't" Benny's words echoed with the rumbling of a thunder.

"[Thunder Bellow]" he moved his sword as three coiling crimson dragon thunder materialised around his sword and roared.

The two attacks collided, resulting in an intense shockwave. The powerful attack from Benny, shokingly cancelled the one from Annette causing the latter to be taken aback for a second.

Although she wasn't serious in that last attack of hers, but to be able to cancel it meant that it was at least as powerful or equal in power. She clearly remembered that this person wasn't powerful enough to dish out this level of attack before.

Which must mean that it was the result of a skill. To be able to raise one's power to such heights, it was a decent skill. However, she could also see that it had a serious drawback.

"How do you like it? This is like my last of the last resort skill that I haven't used it on anyone else before. You are the first one" Benny commented marvelling at his new look.

"Should I be honoured?" The man suddenly became chatty in his final hours. As he was the target of her revenge, she decided to humour him.

However, Lucas who was stuck between a rock and a hard place, had no other choice. He chose to believe in the faint chance of success and dived head first.

Luckily for him, the spatial gate didn't tear his body apart and he was able to successfully teleport. However, the bad news was that with the coordinates all around the place, the area he was teleported to, was not very far away from here.

In fact, he did not even leave the area of perception of that woman. Lucas could tell Annette locking into his presence instantly after he teleported here.

"Tsk, one of the pests got away. Never mind, nobody can get away with her being here." Back at the battlefield, Annette clicked her tongue in annoyance seeing that one of her targets of revenge got away.

"Hehe, so Lucas got away huh? That's good, now than I shall do my part too. This shall be the last battle of my life. Why don't we make it more exciting" Benny smiled, his eyes glowing with a fierce light.

After he lost his best pupil back inside the Forbidden Grounds and his guild was destroyed, he was always looking for a place to die. However, as an adventurer, committing suicide was unacceptable for him nor was dying in any other way.

His pride would only allow him to fall against an opponent who could best him in a duel. And finally today, he met an opponent like that. The woman who called herself Annette was the only opponent who could do him that honour.

Since the very moment he laid eyes on her, he realised the vast strength defiiference between them. Call it an adventurer's gut feeling or instinct but having gone through his fair share of adventures, he could vaguely predict how powerful one was based on just their presence and without even needing to rely on the [Analysis] skill.

It was for this reason that he knew none of them would survive the moment she appeared. That's right, he decided this place would be his deathbed and he would die here valiantly, killed by an opponent that he recognised.

However, reality didn't seem to play as he wished. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a couple of figures materialise from the shadows and go after Lucas at the orders of the woman.

Judging by their presence they were all… stronger than him!!

What was going on? Where did all these people come from? Where did Her Highness the princess find them? While he was in a state of daze at the shock of his life that he received today, Annette clapped her hands disrupting his thoughts.

"Now, now… I'm sure you are currently feeling full of yourself from all that boost in power. So I have decided to let the three of them be your opponent".

On Annette's indication, the three ghouls of the legendary criminals of the kingdom, stepped forward. One of them, namely axe hand Adger was even holding the beheaded head of the warrior named Granfield.
