Chapter 270: 270. Three Divine Ways - Manifestation
Grey Orion tried to free himself from the giant's grasp using Berserk Body, but the hand holding him didn't budge. It felt as if he were an ant trapped by a human, unable to escape no matter how much strength he used.
"What is this giant?" Grey Orion asked when he realized he couldn't break free with his strength alone. But that doesn't mean he would be stuck here. There were various ways he could escape from the clutch of the giant hands holding him.
But for now he was curious about the the giant in particular. He wanted to know if the giant was one of her abilities or something else.
Kitsuri smiled at his question.
"This is the third stage of the Three Divine Ways—Manifestation."
Grey Orion's eyes narrowed into slits when he heard her. He found it hard to believe but the truth was in front of him.
"The Three Divine Ways, Manifestation Stage…"
He was shocked. He hadn't expected it to be related to the Three Divine Ways. But as he thought deeper, it made sense. The Ten Seats were ancient and powerful experts. With the time they had and their talents, it wasn't surprising they had reached the third stage of the Three Divine Ways.
Seeing Grey Orion's shocked expression, Kitsuri continued, "Everyone's manifestation is different. Mine is an avatar of myself, and the one attacking you now has the manifestation of a weapon—Bow and Arrow."
Grey Orion understood, but then he suddenly looked to his left. He sensed the attack had been released and was coming towards him like a bolt of lightning.
"Sorry for you, but this can't hold me," Grey Orion said to Kitsuri as he teleported out of the giant hands to appear behind her. He swung his lightning sword, creating a wave of water that blasted toward her.
But as if she had predicted it, she blurred and disappeared from her position before his sword and attack could reach her.
But it was also at that moment that Grey Orion could sense the attack from far more clearer than ever.
"The attack!"
Grey Orion immediately turned around and focused on the direction where he sensed the attack coming even more clearly than before.
At that moment, he saw a golden beam of light hurtling toward him at breakneck speed.
The waters in the ocean split apart as the golden beam of light flew through them, moving straight towards him.
Grey Orion's eyes sharpened. He sensed that the golden beam of light was stronger than any attack he had faced from any of the Ten Seats.
"There's no point in running."
At that moment, Kitsuri's voice reached his ears.
"What do you mean?" Grey Orion asked. He believed he could easily teleport out of the attack's path, but Kitsuri's words made him doubt it would be that simple.
Kitsuri pointed at the golden beam of light. "The attack is locked on you and won't stop until it hits you."
Grey Orion's expression turned serious. He understood her previous actions. "So, you restricted my movements earlier to let the attack lock onto me?"
Kitsuri smiled. "Smart. From our brief confrontations with you, and from Rosaline's observations, we knew you could teleport, so restricting your movement alone was useless. That's why we planned this attack."
Grey Orion frowned but said nothing. His entire focus was now on the golden beam of light. It was only a kilometer away.
As it closed in, he realized the energy stored in the attack was enormous. He could now see the golden beam of light was actually a golden arrow, cutting through the air with terrifying speed.
Grey Orion looked at the golden arrow and then at Kitsuri. He activated the curse of Thunder's Wraith and disappeared, intending to test whether the golden arrow would follow him as Kitsuri claimed.
When he turned to look behind him, he saw the golden arrow change direction, tracking his movements.
"It can track me wherever I go, but can it even hit me?"
Grey Orion sneered. He could easily turn intangible and let the golden arrow pass through him.
"We've already accounted for your intangibility and ability to move into different spaces," Kitsuri announced, bringing more bad news.
"What do you mean?" Grey Orion frowned, but then he noticed the other Seats had arrived, with Rosaline carrying the Luminous Rope.
Grey Orion's eyes narrowed as he grasped their plan. He didn't doubt that if he turned intangible to escape the golden arrow, they would use the rope to restrain him again.
He had seen their coordination in battle, so he believed they could tie the rope on him the moment he became intangible.
Intangibility was no longer an option.
"Unless you escape to another space, you won't avoid the attack," Kitsuri said with a smile.
Grey Orion felt suspicious. "Do you want me to move into another space?"
Kitsuri shrugged.
'Is this a trap?' he thought. He couldn't understand why they would want him to move into another space. Or was it a bluff to make him face the attack head-on?
Grey Orion pondered, but time was running out. The golden arrow was just moments away.
"Heh," he smirked. He realized he was overthinking the situation.
If the attack was meant for him, he would block it—or, better yet, destroy it.
'The energy in the attack made me hesitate.'
His attempts to evade stemmed from the fact that the energy within the attack was immense. It might be the strongest attack he had faced since arriving in this world.
'If they want me to take the attack head-on, then I will. And if there's a problem, I still have a surprise for them. I'm sure they'll appreciate it.' Enjoy reading at m,v lem|p,yr
