Life After Reaching The Pinnacle

Chapter 32: Aadi's Death

Liam said, "The only profound technique I have learned is water serpent, so I'm not really using my full potential. Well, whatever, you've given me a good fight, but it's time to end this."

Aurora scoffed and said, "I'm just starting."

"Before fighting again, why don't you watch this?" Liam smiled and said.

All of a sudden, Liam stabbed his sword to his right direction. Since mist was all over the place, it wasn't clear what he stabbed, but soon blood spilled, and it was revealed what or who was stabbed.

Aurora watched in horror as she saw the familiar silver-white hair standing there with Liam's sword in his chest.

Aadi tried to take the sword out but coughed up blood in trying; it was clear there wasn't any hope of his survival as the sword went right through the heart.

He slowly turned his almost lifeless eyes towards Aurora and said weakly, "Run, Aurora. He's very powerful. Don't let my sacrifice be in vain."

Liam smiled and took out his sword and threw Aadi's body behind him. Aadi's eyes were turning lifeless as he gazed at Aurora warmly and said his last words, "...run."

Flamingo dropped from Aurora's hand as she rushed towards Aadi in panic.

Liam was waiting for this as he covered his sword with the water element, just waiting for Aurora to get in range.

When the distance between Liam and Aurora was just two meters, yellow lightning began crackling around Aurora as she arrived in front of Liam in an instant, in her right hand was a thin needle of dense lightning. Just by its presence, the needle was making the surroundings air heavy and high in temperature.

Liam was too shocked at the sudden change of situation, so he was too late for dodging the attack of Aurora. He hurriedly made a barrier of profound energy in front of him.

Aurora didn't seem to care about the barrier and increased the amount of lightning around her even more as she shot her right palm towards Liam's left chest.

Liam's barrier crumbled like a sheet of glass as soon as it got in contact with Aurora's lightning, and Aurora's palm landed on Liam's left chest as she shot the lightning needle inside his heart.

'Boom.'

Aurora whispered and detonated the needle, blasting Liam's left side into smithereens, blood and flesh exploded everywhere as lightning crackled all around.

Aurora wiped Liam's blood off her face as she watched Liam stagger and fall backward, laying in his own pool of blood, looking at her with a shocked and questioning gaze.

Aurora went and sat beside him comfortably and began talking, "When I said I was starting, I meant it, dumbass. You know I was beginning to enjoy the fight, and you just have to pull the worst card. If you're wondering about that Illusion formation of yours, don't worry; it worked on me, but the target you chose was wrong."

Aurora began laughing as she remembered Aadi's face in the illusion formation, and only after some time, she controlled herself as she continued, "Although I have known my master for a short time, I know at least some things about him. First of all, he's arrogant to the bone, and that person admitting someone else is stronger than him, don't make me laugh. That illusion was full of flaws. In the first place, you couldn't even touch him, let alone defeat him, so I knew from the start that it was an illusion formation."

Liam smiled in self-mockery as he realized he could have fought a better fight if he used other things in his arsenal. He closed his eyes as he began waiting for his death.

Aurora then took out a healing pill given by Aadi and ate it. She also took out a small strange red transparent sphere and after pouring some profound energy into it, she placed it near Liam.

"I don't know how it works, but since it was made by my master, it should work," Aurora murmured and stood up. She looked at the once mesmerizing hall, which was devastated by their battle, and nodded in satisfaction. Then she checked her condition. By now, some of her wounds had healed, so she ran towards the corridor where everyone was.

The moment she arrived at the corridor and everyone saw her, their eyes went wide, and no words were coming out of their mouths. They were wondering the same thing: 'How is she even standing with those wounds, and what's with all that blood?'

Currently, Aurora was covered in blood from head to toe, cuts all over her body, and her clothes ripped in many parts. She looked like a beast coming out after battle.

Aurora didn't care about their gazes and said, "I have severely injured him, but he has activated a formation that will blow up this whole tomb. So if you want to live, run towards the entrance."

Just after saying that, she went inside the corridor. Everyone stared at each other and also followed Aurora.

Shihab caught up with Aurora and said in admiration, "You defeated him? You're really powerful. I'm sure he was much stronger compared to the Red Horned Rat, and you still defeated him."

Aurora shook her head and said, her voice filled with regret, "I just won by fluke. If he was in his prime, I would have been dead in the first minutes. Besides, we didn't get any treasures."

Shihab turned speechless as he thought, 'We're rejoicing here that we're getting out safely, and you still want treasures!'

He decided to stay silent and end their conversation.

Unknown to them, a gray mist began appearing around Liam's dead body, and after it covered his whole body, Liam's body disappeared from there.

"Hehe, Asty, looks like it's beginning now," Aadi smiled and said.

"Yes, and it looks like their opponents are going to be very troublesome. Hmm, this is going in an interesting direction," Asty also agreed with Aadi.

"But still, I didn't think it was the Infernals who would be the ones invading," Aadi said as he recognized the gray mist as it was the innate technique of many Infernals.
