Free Web NovelChapter 53: Chapter53-Judgment of the Round Table
For a time, even with the two of them working together, they still gradually fell into a disadvantage.
John went from taking the initiative to attack at the beginning to only being able to continuously dodge with the assistance of the Mirrorrealm Witch.
The God Hunter projection laughed savagely.
"Hahahaha! Overestimating yourselves!"
He swung his blade again.
John’s expression changed sharply, and he narrowly avoided being struck.
The Mirrorrealm Witch forcibly summoned a mirror surface to block the attack, but it could not even withstand it for half a second.
At that critical moment, the depths of the mirror space trembled once more.
Five graceful figures with terrifying auras appeared.
One wore a crown.
One was wreathed in ash.
One had white hair and crimson eyes.
They were none other than the Crowned Witch, the Ashen Witch, and the Bone Witch.
Behind them, the Thorn Witch and the Stargazing Witch descended one after another.
The moment the Crowned Witch appeared, she directly unfolded the rules of Judgment of the Round Table.
"Judgment of the Round Table!"
As her cold shout fell, the crown above her head suddenly released a burst of golden light.
The golden light descended, and twelve high-backed chairs appeared out of thin air, forming a circle.
They just happened to suppress the God Hunter projection within the center, preventing him from moving outside the circle.
As the God Hunter’s movements were firmly restricted, the Ashen Witch was the first to take her seat.
She looked down at the God Hunter projection below, her expression icy.
"Scorch."
With a raise of her hand, a cluster of pale flames instantly ignited.
The pale flames fell straight down.
The God Hunter projection had nowhere to dodge.
The terrifying fire spread along the gray mist surrounding his projection and burned its way inward.
In an instant, the God Hunter projection was engulfed in flames.
The Bone Witch took her seat immediately afterward, looking down at the God Hunter projection without expression.
"Soul Lock."
The Bone Witch clenched her hand, and a ring of bone appeared out of thin air.
Layer upon layer of bone rings locked together, then suddenly tightened, driving straight into the God Hunter projection’s body.
The projection’s figure stiffened.
Its soul projection point was forcibly nailed in place.
At the same moment, the Thorn Witch sat down as well, a fierce killing intent suppressed within her gaze as she looked down at the God Hunter.
"Hunt."
Flames surged around her body, and a thorn whip darted out like a snake.
The tip of the whip bit down again and again with terrifying precision.
The shields that had only just appeared around the God Hunter were shattered inch by inch before they could fully take shape.
The Stargazing Witch was the last to sit down.
She released the crystal ball in her arms.
The crystal ball floated into the air, rapidly expanding and reflecting the entire battlefield.
Rivers of starlight flowed through her eyes as her gaze fell upon a certain point in the void.
"His next counterattack will come three steps to the left. The opening is behind him."
As soon as her voice fell, the star map inside the crystal ball flashed.
A point of light precisely marked the position where the God Hunter was about to bring down his blade.
The other witches followed the prediction and avoided the sudden attack released by the God Hunter projection.
That counterattack missed and struck empty space.
The witches immediately countered, following the flaw predicted by the Stargazing Witch and heavily injuring the God Hunter projection in a single coordinated strike.
In just one exchange, the God Hunter projection fell from its previous dominance into a disadvantage.
John took everything in from the side.
Only now, after personally witnessing this battle between several witches and the God Hunter projection, did he truly realize how terrifying the Witches’ Round Table was.
A single witch alone might find it difficult to suppress the God Hunter projection.
But when several witches of the Round Table joined forces, their domains, rules, seals, flames, necromancy, and star trails filled in one another’s gaps.
They had actually forced the God Hunter projection into a disadvantage.
At this moment, the God Hunter projection was already trapped in a desperate situation. Even his figure had become unstable.
The witches’ attacks came one after another without end, and their coordination was seamless.
They gave the God Hunter projection no time to dodge or react.
At that moment, the final witch, the Mirrorrealm Witch, successfully took her seat.
"Mirror Annihilation."
The Mirrorrealm Witch pressed her hands together.
The next moment, a large amount of white light appeared throughout the entire mirror space, and a terrifying aura of destruction spread out. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
She had actually taken the initiative to detonate the core of the mirror space.
Boom!
Countless mirror surfaces shattered at the same time, transforming into a massive spatial exile vortex.
A witch’s high-backed chair enveloped John, preventing him from being swept into it. freёweɓnovel.com
Immediately afterward, the Crowned Witch once again activated the rules of the Round Table.
The twelve witches’ chairs released the power of rules, sealing off all possible escape routes for the God Hunter projection.
The Bone Witch seized the opening and attacked.
A bone spike shot out from the void, accurately piercing into the God Hunter’s projection coordinate.
Then came a second spike, and a third.
Layer after layer of bone spikes descended, locking that coordinate firmly in place.
The Ashen Witch pressed her palm down expressionlessly.
Pale flames spread across the projection’s outer shell.
Wherever the flames passed, the gray mist curled and melted like dry paper, and the outer shell was peeled away layer by layer before being burned to ash.
The Thorn Witch lashed out with a flaming thorn.
The vine, carrying scorching marks, tore through the air.
It wrapped around the hunting knife and twisted tight, firmly binding the blade in place. No matter how violently the blade trembled, it could not break free.
John seized the final instant.
He swung the Space Sever sword and pushed Voidblade Gale to its limit.
Then he slashed straight into the center of the God Hunter projection’s mask.
Crack!
The blank white mask shattered completely.
The last trace of power protecting the God Hunter vanished.
The God Hunter projection rapidly dissolved, collapsing inch by inch within the exile vortex.
Before disappearing completely, he looked at John, his voice still calm.
"Target confirmed. The fragment of the Goddess of Space is on you.
"The next time I come here, it will not be only a projection."
As his voice fell, this avatar of the God Hunter was completely banished.
Crack!
With the battle over, the mirror space collapsed entirely.
...
The mirror light before John’s eyes rapidly faded, and the scene shifted.
John returned to the manor’s training field.
The surrounding barriers had already returned to normal, but the Mirrorrealm Witch’s expression was extremely ugly.
Because her mirror space had been completely destroyed.
That was an important subspace that could only form once every hundred years.
It could both save her life and trap enemies.
But today, in order to banish the God Hunter projection, it had unexpectedly shattered completely.
To her, this was an enormous loss.
The Mirrorrealm Witch looked at John and said coldly, "You had better give me an explanation."
John was silent for a moment.
He glanced at the Space Sever sword in his hand.
He knew that this time, things had become troublesome.
Spatial Authority was not some ordinary low-level power.
It could grant John the opportunity to grow stronger, but at the same time, it would also make him a target locked onto by the God Hunter.
At that moment, the Crowned Witch walked up to John, her expression more serious than ever before.
"From now on, do not casually use divine Authority without concealment."
Beside her, the Stargazing Witch stared at her crystal ball and added softly, "That thing was not merely passing by. He was drawn here by the Authority fluctuation you released just now.
"And now that you have been marked by him, he has remembered you completely."
John looked at the gray hunting-knife mark slowly surfacing on the back of his hand, and his gaze darkened as well.
At that moment, a system notification rang out.
[Warning: You have been recorded by the God Hunter!]
[You have obtained the negative status: Godhunter’s Mark — Residual Trace!]
[Effect: When you use divine Authority on a large scale, there is a chance that you will once again attract the God Hunter’s gaze.]
John put away the Space Sever sword, his heart tightening.
Only now did he truly feel that the level of power he had come into contact with was completely different from before.
