NOVEL WEB Chapter 92: Excalibur
Chapter 92 - Excalibur
Revis grows stronger by consuming magic stones.
She's an accomplice of the corrupted spirit, not a subordinate but a collaborator.
Her mission here was to retrieve the Jewel Fetus, taken from the 30th floor by Hasana.
Unfortunately, Hasana and Lulune completed their handover too swiftly.
By the time Revis arrived, the Jewel Fetus had changed hands, sparking the murder.
Realizing Lulune, Ais, and others held it, Revis attacked Rivira with Violas to distract Finn and his group, then targeted Ais's group.
"Orsted, be careful," Ais ignored Revis's taunt and softly warned Orsted.
In their earlier clash, Ais had sensed Revis's strength—near Level 6, far surpassing her own Level 5.
Without Orsted's aid, she couldn't have held her off.
Alone, neither could match Revis.
"Got it," Orsted replied, focusing intently.
His full strength reached Level 4, short of Level 5.
In this fight, he planned to assist Ais, not lead.
Revis's target was the Jewel Fetus, but she knew defeating Orsted and Ais was a prerequisite to pursuing Lefiya.
With no time wasted, Revis attacked.
Her combat skills and experience were elite, and she quickly deduced that targeting Orsted, the weaker link, was key.
Eliminating him would leave Ais vulnerable.
Revis abandoned Ais, relentlessly pursuing Orsted with lethal intent.
Ais, anticipating this, guarded him, thwarting Revis's attempts to land a crippling blow.
Despite being the weakest, Orsted's combat skills and experience outshone both.
Revis's every assault was countered by his deft maneuvers, bolstered by Ais's harassing strikes.
His prowess stunned Revis..
"Remarkable!" Revis exclaimed mid-battle.
"Thanks," Orsted replied with a smile.
"Ais, hit her with everything. Don't worry about me."
Avalon's healing ensured Orsted could shrug off non-fatal wounds, given enough magic.
But Ais, unaware, hesitated. "But—"
"Trust me!" Orsted urged.
Ais frowned, then nodded.
"Alright. Stay sharp."
She shifted tactics, unleashing her full strength on Revis.
Yet, even with Ais's all-out assault and Orsted's support, they couldn't land a decisive blow.
Revis, seizing an opening, slashed Ais aside and struck Orsted, her blade carving a deep gash.
Blood sprayed, and Revis smirked coldly.
But her triumph faded as Orsted's counterattack landed—a sword slash from shoulder to waist, blood gushing from her wound.
Revis hadn't realized Orsted had baited her, exposing a flaw.
With Avalon's healing, he could risk non-lethal hits, using the moment to wound her gravely.
Her blood arced across the sky as she reeled back, disbelief etched on her face.
She'd been certain her strike would incapacitate Orsted.
Instead, he stood vibrant, unscathed by her blow, delivering a devastating counter.
Noticing his knowing smile, Revis realized she'd been outplayed.
Her cold glare locked onto Orsted, memorizing him.
But Orsted ignored her, shouting, "Ais!"
His slash, though severe, wouldn't kill Revis.
Ais had already activated Ariel.
Wrapped in emerald gusts, she surged above Revis at blinding speed, raising Desperate for a piercing strike.
Revis, spotting Ariel, squinted.
"So, you're Aria!"
Ais froze.
The pause gave Revis an opening.
Violas erupted from the ground, shielding Revis and separating her from Ais.
Ais snapped back, but it was too late.
The Violas enveloped Revis, absorbing Ais's attack and blasting Revis toward the river.
"Aria, I'll kill you next time," Revis declared coldly, vanishing into the water.
Orsted teleported to the cliff's edge with Instant.
The river ran scarlet, but Revis was gone.
Raising Excalibur Proto, Orsted unleashed its light blast.
A golden torrent flooded the river, engulfing it under Ais's shocked gaze.
