Chapter 344 A wild appearance.
Aston was in awe and disbelief as he watched Zachary on an equal footing with Nefarath. He couldn't see the attacks that both Zachary and Nefarath threw at each other. His eyes were deceived by him because it looked like Zachary's hands were leaving afterimages every time he moved his hands.
"Shit, so you were going easy on me back there, huh?" Aston scoffed as he shook his head in disbelief. "I need to train a lot harder from now on. I need to catch up with you so I can thread a similar path like you," he added.
While everyone was watching the fight, Javelin prepared a powerful spell that required her to make a magic circle. She learned a lot of things during her solo raid and the achievements she received from clearing a lot of rifts in a week.@@@@
"This connects to this side..." Javelin mumbled to herself as she drew the magic circle. "Now, I just need to cast the spell..." She stood up and looked at the magic circle around her since she was standing in the middle of it.
Aston looked at the four magic circles that were created by Javelin that appeared to be circling Zachary and Nefarath from a one-hundred-meter radius. He watched Javelin mumble to herself as she held the staff tightly and pointed at the four magic circles.
The moment the magic circles glowed, a dome made of a red magic barrier was formed. The barrier that surrounded Zachary and Nefarath, made both of them look at it.
Nefarath saw something similar to the barrier, but the one that she saw back then was a lot more powerful. But that didn't mean what Javelin made could be discarded because what came after could harm her.
The dome with red color suddenly changed to bright orange, and it possessed a divine aura. The aura made Nefarath weak while it made Zachary stronger, not to mention his sword became lighter and sharper. It made things even harder for Nefarath because she never thought a God would pass down that power to a mere human.
"Stare at me as you want! My death will only bring the glory of my sister!" Nefarath screamed her lungs out, almost breaking the barrier. "The time is near, and your death is imminent!" She glared at the barrier as she saw the eyes of Gods staring down at her.
Everyone heard what Nefarath said and why suddenly she snapped like that at the Gods. Zachary and Aston who had a conversation about that topic made them think if there was something that the Gods hid from them.
Zachary readied his stance and continued attacking Nefarath with the overwhelming power that lingered around his body. But he never expected that Nefarath's power would get amplified by her rage, and how she sliced his arms, legs, and body with her razor-sharp arms and legs.
"I'm done with playing. If you want to kill me, you have to put your life on the line!" Nefarath sliced Zachary's face when she planned to cut his head off but he dodged it.
A notification of rift clearance appeared in front of their eyes, and they were glad that it was over. Only three people were underwhelmed by the situation, the mysterious woman, and why Nefarath decided to offer her life. Something was suspicious and the more they thought about it, the more disturbing it became.
"I need a drink..." Zachary said as he helped Javelin walk.
"Treat me," Javelin responded with her eyes closed.
"Sure, let's have a drink in my place. I'll ask Aston if he wants to join or not," Zachary said and he was worried about Javelin's health and condition.
Aston agreed since he loved booze more than anyone, but when he remembered the day he had a drink with Mykel, it made him reconsider. The three of them and the others left the rift, and people swarmed them like flies, bombarding them with questions. Zachary and the others agreed to keep what they saw and heard a secret because it would only bring problems.
Although people were asking about the raid, their questions shifted when they saw Javelin. Their troubled expression and their questions were quite rude to her, and Aston immediately shifted the attention to him by punching the reporter.
"I still got it," Aston said after he scared all the reporters.
"Thank you, but you don't have to do that," Javelin looked at Aston and found his personality quite interesting. "I hope they didn't sue you for doing that."
"What can they do? We are saving the world and they want to sue us? They must be idiots," Aston scoffed as he walked alongside Javelin to make the reporters silent.
The reporters were wondering why the Faelethria Kingdom had decided to help the Dystrovia nation when Elestria told them they were busy. Rumors and speculations started to spread that the Faelethria Kingdom wanted to take over Dystrovia nation after a piece of land was given to the Faelethria Kingdom back then. They assumed that behind Elestria's help, she had a hidden motive and it didn't look like a coincidence at all.
"Don't think about it too much. I'm sorry that it happened," Zachary said quietly.
"It's fine. I'm not a nationalist, and I don't really care much about what they're trying to do. What's done is done, what can you do," Javelin responded as she entered the car with Zachary's help.
