Chapter 726 It Ends For You
"Everyone, be careful..." Asher mumbled to the others in a low voice, making them realize something must be off for him to warn them like this.
The moment the world resumed its natural rhythm, Anna didn't hesitate. She lunged forward again, her body a blur, her feet barely touching the ground as she shot towards Hellbringer and his cult members, her movements sharp, fluid, and deadly. But this time, something was different.
Asher, Rebecca, and the others all braced themselves for the onslaught, their eyes narrowing with determination. But as Anna moved, they watched, stunned, as every attack they tried to land seemed to miss by mere inches.
Asher swung his ring blade with precision, but Anna was already gone before the blade even reached its mark. Grace released another volley of vermillion flames, only for Anna to twist and slip through them as if the flames weren't even there.
Each strike, each spell, each move the cult made, Anna countered it with an eerie perfection. She didn't just dodge or block; she seemed to know what they were going to do before they even made the move. It was as if she was predicting their every action in real-time, responding before they even had the chance to execute their attacks.
Asher's mind raced. Is this what Rebecca meant? The thought hit him with sudden clarity. Her ability to predict moves before they happen...
The realization struck him like a lightning bolt, and his frown deepened. It wasn't just speed that Anna had mastered—it was her Mindforce, her ability to read and understand their intentions before they could act. Her every move was calculated, as though she had seen the future and knew exactly how to counter them.
Was this the true power of an Unseen?
But his flames suddenly died out as flesh and skin began to rapidly grow back on his body, "No, fuck!" Asher grunted in frustration as he ran out of mana and realized Anna must have purposefully given him multiple chances to attack her to make him waste his mana. He underestimated the danger of her mindforce abilities.
Anna felt relieved to see that Hellbringer had run out of mana, but she had to keep fighting the others.
As she fought, she was already formulating her strategy. She had fought against many, but this group... This group was different. They were obviously stronger than her when together, more skilled, and working as a coordinated team.
She knew she couldn't take them down head-on. Not yet. She had to break their formation first.
Her eyes flicked briefly to the two healers behind the Huntress. They were the weakest links, the easiest targets in this battle. Take one down, and the rest will falter.
With a burst of speed, she darted towards one of them, her eyes locked onto the healer. Yui gasped in fear upon seeing the Thundering Reaper aiming to attack her.
But before she could strike, Grace's sharp, panicked voice cut through the air.
"No!"
Grace, her body already straining from the earlier attacks, surged forward with what little strength she had left, positioning herself between Anna and Yui. Her silver staff swung down, flames erupting from the vermillion crystal as she attempted to force Anna back.
Anna's frustration flared. She had to end this quickly; she had to take down the Huntress before she could fully intervene.
"Engh!" With a grunt, she retaliated, moving in a blur of speed and power. She struck with a force that was beyond human, her fist connecting with Grace's staff and shattering it.
The silver staff snapped in two, the vermillion crystal shattering into sparks of light that flickered and died.
Grace staggered back, coughing blood, but Anna didn't give her a moment to recover and was ready for a follow-up attack.
Just moments before, Rebecca, who was panting in exhaustion, had her eyes widened upon seeing Grace about to get attacked by Anna and pointed her staff towards Anna, "Don't you dare!" Rebecca lashed out as a beam of blood-red ice shot towards Anna, consuming whatever mana she had left.
Anna's other hand shot out, claws gleaming with dark yellow lightning, aimed directly at the Huntress' chest. It would have been a fatal blow.
But before Anna could strike, she found herself getting slowed down by a layer of blood-red ice.
