CHAPTER 947: CHAPTER 728: I HAVEN’T USED MAGIC YET

"Bang!"

With the shock of a sudden impact, two figures were flung apart to the left and right, carried by the gust of the blast, their bodies uncontrollably flying backward until they came to a stop at a distance.

"You...!"

Reveis, wielding a pitch-black greatsword, was sent flying about ten meters away. Her pretty face twisted slightly as she gazed at her opponent.

"Power of this magnitude... have you ascended?"

Reveis’ expression appeared somewhat unpleasant.

There’s no helping it.

Compared to last time, Reiger’s strength had indeed increased too much, too much.

Reveis initially harbored the certainty of victory, convinced that this time she would finally exact her revenge and beat Reiger to death, which was why she launched the attack. But now, she found that not only could she not easily overpower her enemy, but she was also entangled by him, preventing her from getting to "Alya’s" side.

Such a dramatic change, such a transformative empowerment, could only mean one thing.

That was, this man had leveled up, accomplished what adventurers dreamed of, and stepped into a new stage.

Of course...

"Everyone’s in the same boat, right?"

Reiger, holding the Sword of the Fool, was hurled much farther away than Reveis, at least several dozen meters, his sword-wielding hand also trembling slightly, as if numb, causing Reiger to glance at his arm and speak calmly.

"Compared to last time, you are also a different person."

Last time, in the food warehouse on the 24th floor, Reiger with his newly reached Lv.5 abilities fought against Reveis, who could rival Lv.6 at the time, winning with absolute superiority.

But this time, Reiger had advanced his abilities to Lv.6, yet found himself at a disadvantage against Reveis.

Compared to last time, Reiger had indeed become much stronger, but Reveis’ increase in strength was far beyond even Reiger’s current state, reaching an inconceivable level.

If the last Reveis was merely equivalent to Lv.6, the current her could definitely match Lv.7.

And at a level within Lv.7 that was nearly invincible.

"In terms of basic capability parameters alone, you may even be stronger now than the nearly Lv.8 [Hero], right?"

Reiger stared directly at Reveis and said.

"How many magic stones have you devoured since then?"

Monsters could rapidly increase their strength by devouring magic stones, in a manner akin to enhanced species.

So, Reiger was mentally prepared for Reveis to grow stronger.

But her increase in strength was so significant, far surpassing the previous Olivias, especially with the unique monstrous strength belonging only to such beings, possibly even surpassing a true Lv.8.

Just now, Reiger had continually found himself at a disadvantage in the face of her monstrous strength, if not for his now-improved combat skills allowing him to mitigate some of Reveis’ attack power, he might have suffered more than just retreating.

"No wonder you dared to show up again."

Reiger’s emotionless remark made Reveis’ cold face appear all the more gloomy.

"To defeat you and bring Alya before ’her’, I’ve devoured countless monster stones, even Olivias’ stone fell prey to me." Reveis raised her pitch-black greatsword coldly: "All of this is for today."

"Even if you’ve ascended your abilities, unlike last time, the stronger one this time is me."

"Fall here and now."

Reveis unleashed an indescribable killing intent.

The killing intent was so dense it seemed almost tangible, like invisible needles stabbing into Reiger’s body, piercing his skin.

However, in the face of Reveis’ unleashed killing intent, Reiger not only remained unfazed, his reaction was quite indifferent.

"Don’t think that was my full strength just now, alright?"

Reiger lifted his gaze, staring at Reveis.

"Don’t forget, I haven’t used magic yet."

This statement provoked Reveis.

"Bang!"

With an explosive burst in the atmosphere, the red-haired monstrous woman stomped on the ground, causing it to crack, and rushed toward Reiger like a black and red gust of wind.

"Clang!"

The incoming sword strike was blocked by Reiger’s raised Sword of the Fool, creating a crisp metallic clash, sending Reiger’s body flying once again.

As though intent on ending Reiger in one go, Reveis launched a fierce and fiery assault.

"Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang...!"

Within the intense clashing sounds, the pitch-black greatsword, carrying turbulent currents, continued hacking down on Reiger’s crystal longsword, sparking flames, scattering strong winds, and shattering the ground as it went, causing small debris to fly around.

Relentlessly, Reveis attacked with a cold gaze and a sinister face. Her pitch-black greatsword had completely transformed into a black storm, swinging innumerable times in an instant, slashing the atmosphere into a mournful wail.

In response, though Reiger was forced to retreat again and again, flying backward, he remained as calm as a human could be, even with his sword-wielding hand so shocked that his tiger’s mouth split open, oozing blood. He steadily blocked each of Reveis’ slashes, with eyes that seemed to see through every attack trajectory, glowing a transparent hue, ceaselessly fixed on Reveis.

"Stop using those eyes to look at me!"

Reveis felt as if everything about her was being seen through by those transparent eyes, making her increasingly irritated and restless. Her attack frequency grew faster, her momentum turning fiercer, resembling a cage-breaking ferocious beast, bloodthirsty and frenzied.
