Chapter 369 Explosion!
Justin already knew the trick behind Louise\'s speed. She was using her specialty, lightning magic, to move at insane speeds. Still, he tried to keep his eyes open and chase her, but even so, he could only see her shadow moving.
"Be patient. Even with her power, she is bound to run out of mana," Justin thought.
Justin lost his focus for a moment, and Louise noticed that. She immediately approached and then punched his stomach. Again, he didn\'t feel much weight behind that, but he got paralyzed by the electricity on her body. Louise\'s physical parameters were incredibly low, but her magic ones were off the charts, and they increased even more during the last battles.
While Justin kept chasing Louise, her movements got sharper, and his sword strikes were further moving away from her. Upon noticing that, his patience ended. He couldn\'t wait for an opening. It would never come… but he could create one, and he found him when Louise stopped on the side of her group after punching him in the guts.
"You had all the chances to pierce my head with a lightning bolt… a fully charged one definitely would cause some damage…" Justin said and then glared at Louise without the smirk on his face. "I will make you regret this…"
Justin held one of his swords with all his might and prepared to throw it at her head. If she dodges it, he is confident that the weapon will pierce Lana\'s head… after Jake and the guild masters, she is the main target due to her ability to heal without worrying about mana.
He threw his sword at Louise\'s head, but she didn\'t move from the spot. Instead of that, she just raised her arm and blocked the weapon with her hand. Again… Justin was left speechless, and he couldn\'t understand what just had happened.
"Your master did well in watching Jake. It didn\'t enough… he wasn\'t the only one who could get stronger and think of a few tricks," Louise said.
Louise felt like explaining that she was using Barrier in a single part of her body to block all kinds of attacks without the enemy realizing how. Still, she wouldn\'t make that mistake when the enemies analyzed so much of Jake\'s skills already.
In any case, Louise already analyzed enough of Justin\'s skills and parameters. He was certainly stronger than the others and had a knack for fighting, but only that. He didn\'t use his head or skills and could only think of slashing his target in two with a single strike.
All of a sudden, the aura around her changed, and then Justin saw some lightning bolts emanating from her aura, and then all of a sudden, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and Louise appeared in front of him.
"You should pay more attention to your wounds… even more so when they don\'t hurt," Louise said. "My lightning magic burned the nerves around the wound, and that was why you didn\'t feel any pain… until now."
Justin began to sweat cold when he felt something inside him being touched… it was probably one of his vitals. If Louise uses her magic now, he will certainly die. He could tell now that his strength and power were a thick layer of armor, but his insides were as weak as ever. When he looked at Louise\'s cold eyes, he began to sweat even more… Still, in the final moment, she pulled off her hand.
"Get the hell out of here… I won\'t carry the weight of your life on my shoulder," Louise said. "Besides, thanks to you, I found the greatest friends that I could have made. Even though I only got that after having my life being screwed up by you two times."
Those words echoed inside Justin\'s mind for the next moments endlessly. Despite all that, the enemy pitied him… he felt so humiliated. The woman that he screwed the life of didn\'t even feel like his life was worth taking… Moreover, he didn\'t scratch her even once. If that wasn\'t humiliation, he didn\'t know what it was…
"Do you want more power?"
"Yes…" Justin replied.
"Do you want the power to kill her at any cost?"
"Yes!" Justin replied.
Justin had never heard that voice before, but he felt like it fit really well with the presence inside the cocoon. Regardless, he didn\'t consider those questions thoroughly before answering them, but his wish was granted.
In the next moment, Justin\'s presence began to change, and Louise turned around only to see him getting bigger again. The veins and his muscles began to bulge and get bigger, and his skin turned red… not only that, Justin began to emit red steam… his blood was evaporating through the pores in his body.
"What are you doing?" Louise asked while furrowing her eyebrows. "This can\'t be normal… you are going to die if you let your body turn like that."
The annoying smile returned to Justin\'s face, and then he charged at Louise. His speed increased so much that just his movements caused a shockwave that made cracks appear on the ground. Somehow, Louise reacted on time after reactivating her electric aura and then moved away, but the enemy\'s sword still hit her neck, even if only a little.
As if he was an f1 vehicle that couldn\'t turn, Justin turned around and then charged at Louise again. His speed increased yet again, so Louise jumped backward while firing thunder spears at him. Unfortunately, they didn\'t stop him, even though his whole body was being electrocuted thanks to that steam…
Louise bit her lips upon realizing that she would have to kill Justin herself. While continuously jumping backward at high speeds, she aimed her right arm at the enemy, and then it began to charge with a lot of her mana. However, all of a sudden, Justin\'s body got cracks in it, and his speed increased. He didn\'t even swing his sword. He just collided against her body… and then he exploded.
