Chapter 70: The Most Powerful Rune

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Lugh had many tricks up his sleeve.

He used all kinds of rune abilities to his heart’s content.

He controlled the airflow, the metal, the fire, the water flow, the plants, the soil…

As he fought, Lugh had a sudden idea. He gathered the air together and made a simplified version of an oxygen bomb.

However, none of these had any effect on Anthony. His holy shield rune was a high-level blue rune. It was extremely sturdy and could block most attacks.

Lugh’s attacks had no effect on Anthony. It couldn’t break through his defense.

Lugh’s rune was a purple rune. Its level was higher than Anthony’s, and it was even rarer.

However, Lugh was only a 2-star rune-master.

Anthony was a 5-star rune-master.

One was a low-level rune-master, while the other was an intermediate rune-master. The difference in the quality of the energy here was too great.

If it were any other low-level rune-master, they would have easily been killed by Anthony.

Only Lugh was able to contend against Anthony with his high-level and powerful runes.

“He’s really an expert.”

“But he’s a good sparring partner.”

In the environment, Lugh could do whatever he wanted. After all, it was an illusion, and he wouldn’t really die.

Since Anthony was such a good target, it would be a waste of resources if he didn’t make good use of the situation. They wouldn’t be able to meet each other normally.

Although the various runes were useless against Anthony, Anthony’s attacks in the illusion didn’t have any effect either.

Although Lugh’s body was constantly damaged by Anthony’s attacks in the environment, under the treatment of the healing runes, he quickly recovered.

Lugh smiled wickedly as he walked towards Anthony.

Anthony was currently using long-range attacks that were extremely powerful.

Lugh continued to move forward while enduring Anthony’s attacks. His body was damaged and he was healing at the same time, so his speed was quite slow.

It was impossible for him to get close to Anthony so slowly.

Lugh wasn’t satisfied.

“Teleport!”

Under Lugh’s control, the fake clone teleported to Anthony’s side.

In an instant, the time suppression ability was activated once again.

Outside the illusion, Lugh couldn’t help but complain to himself. This Anthony is really strong. If I hadn’t teleported and used time suppression, there really would have been no way to deal with him this time. Hmm? What’s the situation?

In the illusion, a blue destruction rune flew out of Anthony’s body. Lugh’s ability to stop time was actually destroyed by him.

A time-type rune?

You actually have a time-type rune!

Anthony’s face was filled with shock as he looked at Lugh with a grave expression.

His heart was like a surging wave. His emotions were fluctuating intensely and he could not calm down.

Time runes were the legendary runes. They were incomparably powerful and extremely strange.

Every rune-master who was able to possess time runes would have extremely terrifying combat strength.

The two most powerful runes recognized by the rune world were space and time runes.

No one dared to offend a rune-master who possessed these two runes.

If they were to accidentally offend him, then it would definitely be very difficult for them to face him.

He wouldn’t even know how he died.

That was why Anthony was so shocked. He didn’t think that this youth in front of him would actually be able to possess a time rune.

At the same time, Anthony also felt a lingering fear. His back was drenched in sweat.

“You are very powerful. You can even be said to be an extremely rare genius in the past hundred years of runic time. Unfortunately, your strength is still too weak. If you were a little stronger, I definitely wouldn’t be able to destroy your time prohibition ability,” Anthony said coldly.

Lugh was still a two-star rune-master. There was a full three levels of difference between him and Anthony.

This was a gap that was very difficult to cross.

If Lugh was a little stronger, perhaps he would have been able to kill Anthony just now.

Anthony didn’t dare to imagine how powerful Lugh would become in the future if he was allowed to grow.

He might even become the future rune king.

Thinking of this, killing intent flashed in Anthony’s eyes. He absolutely couldn’t let this youth live, or else the Simon Empire would definitely be finished.

“Hahaha, it’s a good thing that you haven’t grown up yet. You can’t hurt me now. I originally thought that this was just a boring mission, but I didn’t expect to have such a harvest. After I kill you, I’ll peel off your runes from your soul, and everything you have will belong to me.”

When one was a rune-master, the runes wouldn’t disappear immediately, but would temporarily remain in the body of the soul. Therefore, one could peel off these runes from the soul and keep them for themselves. Many rune-masters would take the initiative to peel off the runes before they died and gift them to their juniors.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by time runes? Anthony’s face was full of excitement.

It was as if he could already see that he had time runes.

When that happened, he would become even stronger.

It was very likely that he would be the next rune king, able to dominate the world.

Countless rune powers turned into a red light, directly tearing Lugh into pieces in the illusion.

“Hahaha, the time rune belongs to me now.”

Anthony laughed wildly.

He really wanted to investigate Lugh’s corpse but discovered that Lugh was just like the Phantoms he had killed before, turning into powder and disappearing.

“How is this possible?

“This place is actually still an illusion!”

Anthony’s eyes were filled with shock.

How could he not be shocked?

He originally thought that everything was within his grasp. He had even imagined what he would look like after he possessed the time rune.

He did not expect that this place was actually still an illusion.

His chest immediately felt stuffy, and the blood all over his body surged up, almost giving him a mouthful of blood.

Anthony could not believe that he had used all kinds of means just to kill a phantom.
