Free Web NovelChapter 52: Chapter52-The Hunt of the God Hunter
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
John’s pupils contracted sharply. Relying on his extremely high Agility, he twisted his body aside at the very last instant.
The blade brushed past his neck.
It had clearly failed to hit him, yet a gray mark still appeared on his status bar.
[Warning: You are affected by Godhunter’s Mark!]
[Consumption of spatial abilities increased by 20%!]
Seeing that this person was no ordinary enemy, John immediately activated True Sight.
A ring of pale golden light lit up in the depths of his eyes, reflecting the figure’s information.
The next moment, all information regarding the other party appeared before him.
[God Hunter Projection Avatar]
[Level: ???]
[Quality: Divinity-Hunting Unit]
[Status: Suppressed by the Witch Council manor barrier. Current attributes have been greatly reduced.]
[Note: A special existence that hunts divine relics, divinity fragments, and holders of Authority.]
...
John’s pupils shrank slightly.
This panel could absolutely be described as monstrous.
Any single attribute was enough to make current players fall into despair.
And this was after being suppressed by the barrier.
If this projection avatar were in its complete state—or if the true body descended—how terrifying would it be?
The God Hunter gave him no time to think.
Without saying a word, his figure flickered directly in front of John.
The next slash came down once again.
John gritted his teeth and decisively activated spatial displacement.
His figure instantly pulled away.
At the same time, he swung the empowered longsword in his hand and unleashed a幽-blue Voidblade Gale.
The sword wind tore through the gray mist and shot straight toward the God Hunter’s chest.
However, the God Hunter merely shifted slightly to the side.
Behind him, three phantom figures from completely different class systems suddenly appeared.
A pitch-black claw reached out from the void and directly crushed John’s sword wind in its grasp.
Before John could react, a gray-white rune emerged out of thin air behind the God Hunter.
The rune descended like a seal, instantly suppressing the surrounding spatial fluctuations.
"Damn it!"
John clenched his teeth.
At that moment, a chain as thin as spider silk silently shot out, wrapping straight toward the longsword in his hand.
John pulled with all his strength, but it was useless.
The chain was unimaginably tough. It was simply not something his current Strength could tear apart.
As it continued to spread, a faint cursed aura even began to emerge from it.
For the first time, John truly felt the double oppression of overwhelming attributes and a superior system.
It was as if his entire body was being crushed by invisible rules.
The opponent’s attributes were not only absurdly high, but his skill system was also chaotic yet unshakably solid.
Hunting, sealing, spatial interference, divine marks, cursed chains...
Almost every ability was precisely aimed at John’s Spatial Authority.
Under such comprehensive suppression, John had clearly fallen into a disadvantage in less than a few exchanges. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
After all, he had only just obtained All-Class Magus not long ago.
His use of the Arcane Nexus was still at the most basic stage.
But the God Hunter projection before him was like a natural predator born specifically to hunt holders of divinity.
None of his slashes were meant to kill John’s physical body.
Instead, they silently weakened the connection between John and his Spatial Authority.
Just as the hunting knife broke through his defense for the third time and was about to pierce into John’s chest, countless mirror surfaces suddenly appeared across the walls of the training field.
Crack!
Space abruptly shattered like glass.
A woman’s icy voice rang out.
"You dare make a move inside my barrier? Do you take me for decoration?"
The next moment, the Mirrorrealm Witch emerged from the shattered mirror surfaces.
Her expression was extremely ugly, and her tone carried obvious displeasure.
That was because the protective barrier around this manor was a branch of the mirror realm she had personally arranged years ago.
Although the God Hunter had not shattered the barrier, he had forcibly bypassed its logic and intruded into the manor.
This was equivalent to cutting a blade across the Mirrorrealm Witch’s face.
How could she not be enraged?
"Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving."
The Mirrorrealm Witch raised her hand and clenched it.
In the next instant, countless mirror surfaces closed in at once.
They rapidly formed a massive mirror-realm cage in midair, trapping the God Hunter projection avatar at its center.
John seized the opportunity to tear away the cursed chains on his body, quickly retreating to restore his condition.
For the first time, the God Hunter projection was frozen in place, unable to move.
He slowly turned his head and looked toward the Mirrorrealm Witch not far away. His voice was hoarse.
"Interesting. You can actually wield mirror authority.
"You are not a god, yet you have touched the threshold of one."
The Mirrorrealm Witch sneered.
"You talk too much."
Then she raised her hand and pressed down again.
The mirror-realm cage suddenly contracted.
Thousands upon thousands of mirror cuts descended at the same time.
Such a terrifying offensive could have sliced even a mountain into countless thin sheets.
But in the next second, gray-red light erupted from the God Hunter projection avatar.
"Break."
The God Hunter raised his hunting knife and slashed.
His blade struck the mirror surface, forcibly tearing open a gap.
The Mirrorrealm Witch’s expression changed slightly.
"Not good."
She quickly realized that relying on the manor’s barrier alone was nowhere near enough to trap him.
Thus, she no longer hesitated and decisively pressed her hand downward.
A terrifying aura spread out.
The Mirrorrealm Witch directly dragged John, the God Hunter projection avatar, and herself into the true mirror space.
Crack!
With the sound of shattering mirrors, the surrounding scene changed in an instant.
Countless broken mirror surfaces floated in the darkness. Each mirror reflected the battlefield from a different angle.
This was a vital mirror subspace that the Mirrorrealm Witch could only condense once after exhausting a century’s worth of accumulated magic power.
It was both her domain and her trump card.
Here, all of her mirror refractions, spatial transfers, and attack reflections would be amplified to the extreme.
The God Hunter projection sensed that something was wrong and immediately rushed toward the edge of the space.
"You and I will join forces and deal with him together," the Mirrorrealm Witch transmitted in a low voice.
John nodded slightly.
In the next instant, his figure flashed, and he took the initiative to charge toward the God Hunter projection avatar.
His body flickered continuously as spatial displacement shifted again and again.
He swung out a Voidblade Gale, forcing the God Hunter to stop and defend himself.
In the process, the opponent’s trajectory was naturally exposed.
The Mirrorrealm Witch used mirror reflections to continuously alter the angle of John’s attacks.
In this way, the God Hunter could no longer lock onto the source of John’s Spatial Authority as easily as before, nor could he target John’s movements with the same precision.
Boom, boom, boom!
John and the Mirrorrealm Witch joined forces and launched an intense battle against the God Hunter projection avatar.
The two sides exchanged blows back and forth, and shattered mirrors constantly appeared throughout the mirror-realm space.
At first, thanks to the special nature of the mirror-realm space, the two sides were still evenly matched.
But the God Hunter was too powerful.
In only a short while, he became familiar with the characteristics of the mirror-realm space’s authority.
Even while suppressed by the manor’s barrier and dragged into the mirror space, he could still continuously tear through the mirrors and find the real John among countless reflections.
