Chapter 154  Sigfor's might! Oliver's stunt!

Chapter 154

Sigfor wasted no time, and made a quick hand gesture, bringing his index and middle fingers together, positioning them together in the front of his chest as he applied espera.

A slit opening instantly appeared in the barrier, allowing him to enter.

Without delay, he moved through the opening in the barrier before sealing it behind him.

Now, he was very close to the boy and his water construct cage. The heat from the ionized rays brushed against his skin, a dangerous reminder of the impending threat.

Now that he was this close to the cage of water, Sigfor truly felt the danger that was emanating from the box.

Even someone of his caliber, who was way above them, could sense its potential destructiveness. He wouldn't dare imagine just what sort of havoc it could wreak once they had reached higher levels.

Sigfor exhaled slowly, his eyes turning sharp with focus. He readied himself, channeling all his energy into the task at hand. The weight of responsibility settled on his shoulders, driving his resolve.

"The moment I say back off, run towards the edge of the barrier without even looking back. Don't bother with anything, just leave," he instructed Oliver in a solemn, unwavering voice.

He was absolutely serious, there was no room for any slips. His tone left no room for doubt, the gravity of the situation was clear.

Oliver looked at the elder who had entered and nodded.

His seemingly unworried demeanor infuriated the elder even more.

'This kid has no idea how dangerous this stunt is!'

That was what the elder thought, but how could he know what Oliver was thinking?

To be clear, Oliver really didn't fear the explosion. If it happened, he could easily suppress the outcome with Abyss energy.

Not only that, he was confident that he could very well protect himself and his body using the Abyss energy too.

However, it was just that he couldn't use it in front of others, lest they labeled him a heretic or some demonic being.

Nonetheless, he had tested it beforehand and was confident that the elder should be able to suppress it.

Seeing Oliver nod, Sigfor focused and closed his hand towards the water cage, gathering a massive amount of espera, hundreds of times higher than Oliver's, in front of his fist.

After a moment of tense silence, the elder shouted.

"Leave!"

Oliver didn't hesitate; using the water elemental espera, he threw the cage towards the elder and ran back.

Seeing this, Sigfor's pupils contracted. He had only told the boy to leave without doing anything, yet this little bastard had actually thrown the entire cage towards him.

Did he want to kill him? And that was even when he was there to save this brat!

Too outrageous!

Sigfor knew that he didn't have the time to get angry as the massive water cage hurled in his direction, the water constructs disintegrating from its former shape, turning into nothing more than simple liquids.

The high-energy lights shot towards him all at once.

Even with all this happening, Sigfor remained composed and pointed his claw at the light beam. The massive espera quickly collided with the beam, engulfing it entirely.

BOOM!

Oliver barely made it out of the barrier in the nick of time before a massive explosion erupted behind him.

The shockwave from the blast propelled him forward, but he landed smoothly before trying to catch his breath.

He had thrown the water cage towards Sigfor so that he could get more time to escape.

'It seems that the elder handled it well,' he thought, observing the barrier with calm eyes that shone with a certain light.

Although the whole barrier's interior was shrouded in clouds of smoke, Oliver could see things clearly thanks to [Cosmic Void Gaze], through which he spotted a distant figure standing amidst the smoke.

He blinked and stopped using his special eyes; he was already mentally drained and any more effort might cause him to faint. He could already feel the last vestiges of his strength slipping away.

All the children present held their breaths as they watched the barrier crack slowly before crumbling like broken glass and vanishing.

The smoke had begun to clear out thanks to the wind and Alphonso sped up the wind waves, quickly dissipating it. A collective sigh of relief was felt as the air cleared.

They all saw Elder Sigfor's figure. His clothes were charred black, burnt from the sides, and his sleeves were ripped. He looked like a beggar.

Miraculously, his body did not seem to have even an inch of a wound. It was tough and unscathed.

His stern expression, however, spoke volumes.

"This…"

Daniel was at a loss for words. He had just witnessed something extremely incredible. He glanced towards Evelyn and Oliver with literal stars in his eyes, his admiration for the duo growing boundlessly.

His body itched to recreate something similar to the previous stunt with them.

Just the thought of thunder in that cage of death made him shiver in excitement, almost causing him to hallucinate.

Moreover, the sight of the annoying old man, who would always act arrogantly towards them turning into a beggar added another sense of satisfaction to Daniel's mind. He couldn't help but silently cheer the duo for making Sigfor taste dust.

"That was hella awesome, you guys! I CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT WITH YOU TWO!!"

Daniel almost screamed, praising them and completely ignoring Sigfor, who was glaring at him with a dead gaze.

The others tactically chose to remain silent, noticing Sigfor's stare at the chattering Daniel.

'Damn, he's so obliviously bold!'

All the others shared the same thought as they watched him chattering non-stop, praising the duo for that combination from before and expressing his desire to do something similar with them.

'He's done for.'

Oliver silently sent his best wishes to Daniel, who was cluelessly laughing with Sigfor right behind him.

"Great, let me teach you how to do that."

Sigfor's deep voice rang in Daniel's ears as a hand clasped his left shoulder, making him freeze.

A chill ran down Daniel's spine and his smile soon faltered.

For some reason, Daniel's instincts screamed at him about the disaster that was about to befall him.

Alas, it was already too late.

In the end, the silent hall reverberated with the painful shrieks of a boy.
