Chapter 69: The Powerful Anthony

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Space runes, fate runes, time runes, power runes, and various other runes were blooming with dazzling light. At this moment, they were at their peak.

Lugh’s mind was spinning rapidly.

This was the first time he had used all the runic abilities he had condensed at full strength. All the abilities worked together smoothly as if they were a precise machine.

Countless steel bars peeled off from the ruins.

They turned into red fire sticks that burned with a dazzling light.

The water in the air, under Lugh’s control, condensed into sharp ice blades.

The originally desolate land was overturned like an office in an earthquake. Many plants sprouted from the ground and grew crazily. In an instant, they grew to a height of more than ten meters, forming thick vines that twined around the tree.

Thousands of red steel bars and thousands of ice blades shot toward the pursuers like a meteor shower.

“Holy Shield!”

An earth-shattering roar.

Immediately after, a huge translucent shield emitted a faint blue light. It was like a magic city wall, blocking all of Lugh’s attacks.

Suddenly, another figure appeared beside Lugh, and then again. Two, three, four… More and more figures of Lugh appeared on the battlefield.

It was impossible to tell which one was the real Lugh.

The leader was Anthony. He was tall and sturdy. He shouted while wearing armor, “How dare you show off in front of me?

“Kill!”

He led his subordinates and rushed into the sea of people that Lugh had created.

The machete in his hand emitted a cold light as it reaped the phantoms.

Lugh’s eyes were indifferent as he looked at Anthony, who was running back and forth within a hundred meters radius.

This Anthony was indeed very strong.

Not only was he able to block his rain of steel bar knives, but he was also able to easily kill his doppelganger.

However, the other soldiers under him were not so lucky.

Especially the soldiers who were not protected by Anthony’s holy shield were unlucky. They were directly pierced by the steel bars and nailed to the ground.

In a few dozen seconds, more than twenty people died under the rain of steel bars and knives from Lugh.

At the same time, the fog that represented luck began to flow toward Lugh, gathering above his head.

This was a fate rune ability that Lugh had just comprehended in the past few days.

In front of him was the new ability of the fate runes. Luck flowed.

After killing others, these people’s luck would flow directly to Lugh, changing his luck.

After the twenty people had been killed by him, the fog above Lugh’s head turned from yellow to light green.

This made Lugh feel very excited.

If he killed more people, wouldn’t he have the same extreme luck as Camia and the others?

It was a pity that he had only awakened this ability now.

If he had awakened it before, his luck would have at least turned blue.

With good luck, he could do anything.

However, the next second…

The color of luck above his head changed from light green to pitch black. This made his heart tighten.

What was going on?

Pitch black luck represented death.

Could it be that Anthony could threaten his life?

He didn’t act rashly.

Instead, after thinking for a short time, he carefully arranged the surrounding battlefield environment.

In the environment, Anthony displayed his divine might. He was indeed very brave and powerful. He had already killed hundreds of Lugh’s phantoms. After a bit of struggle, only Lugh was left.

Anthony’s eyes were cold. “This is your illusion? It’s just so-so. Compared to the environment created by the Rune Academy’s Divine Monument, this illusion of yours is just a fart!

“I am under the orders of the queen to come here and take the lives of you traitors.

“None of you will live. Being able to die under my hands is the greatest honor of your life.

A green ball of light appeared next to Anthony. Within the ball of light, runes appeared one after another.

Lugh did not recognize any of these runes, but with the system’s conversion, he recognized their contents.

The runes bloomed in the sky and then combined into a group of runes: violence, killing enemies, bloodlust, cruelty, evil, power, slaughter… Dozens of runes formed phrases in the air and surrounded Anthony.

Anthony’s aura rose endlessly.

Even his dark hair was shaken by this aura and floated in mid-air.

He looked like a god of war who had descended into the world.

“Damn, can runes be played like this?”

Lugh stared at Anthony with wide eyes. He had really learned a lot.

This was the first time Lugh had seen a way to combine runes.

It had to be said that Anthony was once the number one genius of the Simon Empire and a graduate of the Rune Academy.

Just this move alone made Lugh feel that it was not simple.

However, Anthony thought that he had broken his illusion. But in fact, he was still in Lugh’s illusion and not managed to break through it at all. What he saw of Lugh was also an illusion.

However, the strength that Anthony displayed was just enough to test Lugh’s current strength. He was like a rock sharpening a knife.

All along, other than Elizabeth, none of the opponents that Lugh had met were comparable to Anthony.

Therefore, Anthony could be said to be the strongest enemy that he had ever met.

Especially since the luck above his head had turned pitch-black, Anthony could very possibly pose a danger to him.

The thought that he might be in a life-and-death crisis made his blood boil again.

The stronger the opponent, the more excited he would be.

Therefore, in the illusion, he fought with Anthony.
