Abyssal Awakening - Chapter 477

Chapter 477: A Demonstration Of Power Chapter 477: A Demonstration Of Power Messing around with the skill some more, the two took a break and got some snacks to eat from their pouch.

While they were resting, they noticed the cartographer making their way around the area.

“Torgeir!” Alice called out with a wave.

Since they ran into Torgeir, she might as well invite him for a snack too.

“I thought you three would be enjoying the market.

How come you’re here?” Torgeir asked curiously while the Cartographer followed behind him.

“We were testing out new skills and stuff.

Since this area is already like this, it shouldn’t be an issue to mess around here right?” “As long as you don’t make any major changes, it shouldn’t be an issue.” Torgeir chuckled.

However, the Cartographer only raised an eyebrow in confusion.

“Ah before I forget, this girl here is Alice Agnelia.

The one who saved the warriors.

The girl next to her is Selen and the tough guy over there is Egil.

They all contributed heavily to helping the outpost.” Torgeir introduced before introducing the Cartographer to them.

A man named Jonas was doubtful of Alice’s power.

Furrowing his brows, he observed Alice and scanned her from head to toe.

No matter what Torgeir says, he just can’t see this small girl being able to fend off an attack that could flatten this mountain.

“Are you sure you’re the one who took care of the person behind the ambush?

Perhaps you could’ve teleported everyone like they said but I don’t see how you can kill her if they were able to do this.” He expressed his doubts while gesturing to the crystal forest.

Hearing this, Torgeir frowned in annoyance.

Despite all the evidence, he still doubted.

A rude question despite just being here to draw the map.

“Hmm… an attack of this scale isn’t that hard to pull off ya know?

If you have the right Sigils and enough time.” Alice tapped her chin while looking around her.

Torgeir raised an eyebrow at Alice’s calmness as he thought she’d be annoyed that the cartographer was doubting her and essentially calling her a fraud who didn’t actually kill the person responsible for the ambush.

“Bold words.

An attack of this level isn’t something a mere four spirit Warrior can replicate.” Jonas scoffed.

“Alright that’s enough.

You’re here to do your job as a cartographer, not to nick pick what you believe or don’t believe.” Torgeir interrupted as he couldn’t let this man continue to slander Alice after she saved them.

“Tsk.” Clicking his tongue, Jonas nodded his head.

However, one could still see doubt in his eyes.

“I just have to show something on a similar scale right?

It’s not that hard.

I’ll show you what I used to kill the person behind the ambush if you want.” Alice stretched her body as she stood up.

This was a good chance for her to get more practice with her skill.  Furrowing his brows, Torgeir was about to say no when he saw the glint in Alice’s eyes.

‘She’s eager.’  His smile twitched as he nodded his head.

“Sure, just keep it within the boundaries of this area.” At this stage, she wasn’t going to take no for an answer.

“Alrighty~ Stand back everyone, you don’t want to get caught in the blast radius now do you?” Alice chuckled, waving for both Selen and Egil to stand back.

Selen took the hint and began to jog away with Egil.

Meanwhile, Jonas thought they were exaggerating.

Seeing as everyone was far enough away to some extent, Alice smiled before taking a deep breath.

*RUMBLE!!!!

Immediately, her energy soared as the clouds began to crackle with lightning due to the excess of energy surging from Alice’s body.

Resonance!

Briar thorns and spider lilies blossomed as a black dress appeared on her body.

Bloodline Release!

Her shadow began to shimmer as motes of darkness floated up, converging into the spectre of a maniacal woman laughing while crying tears of darkness.

Ruinous Void €“ Artificial Resonance!

A singularity appeared in Alice’s eye as the realm began to warp around her.

The sudden explosion of energy shocked even Torgeir as she had gotten far stronger than the last time he’d seen her!

It’s to the point where even he was fearing whether or not he was far enough away.

*CRACK RUMBLE!!!

The ground fractured around Alice as it began to float upwards.

The convergence of energy coalesced into a singularity floating above her palm as a disk of pure energy began to materialize.

Holding it out to the side, Alice crouched down as her target was locked on.

The heart of this crystal forest.

She was going to eradicate it from the centre!

Activating her fourth Sigil, a ritualistic circle appeared beneath her as sparks of energy jumped from her body.

Little by little, the realm in front of her twisted into a warp point.

A single line of pure speed where she rips through both reality and the Void to reach her target.

At this point, Jonas began to panic but it was too late to tell her to stop.

*BANG!!!!

Shattering the ground beneath her, Alice condensed the singularity into a single minuscule orb and disappeared from her spot.

It wasn’t like Selen’s perception manipulation.

No, it was raw speed from traversing the realms for one goal and one goal only.

To reach her target in the shortest time possible!

*BANG!!!!

From the heart of the crystal forest, a black hole spun to life, carving out a cavity within the earth as flashes of light whipped against the surrounding structures, severing them with the power of two realms clashing and tearing.

In an instant, the top half of the crystal forest was cut away while a large crevice could be seen in the heart.

Crackles of lightning and micro tears that allowed the energy of the Void to leak out flickered across the crystals near the impact spot.

Standing in the centre, Alice flicked her hand as she held back enough to not tear a hole into the Void otherwise Feris might be rather annoyed.

These micro tears will heal up in due time naturally.

Creating a portal back, Alice appeared next to Torgeir and Jonas.

Jonas was on the ground as he stumbled back from the explosion and tripped over.

“So how is it?

I believe that’s enough proof as it is.” Alice smiled.  “Every day you bring new surprises.

But thank you for keeping it within the area.” Torgeir chuckled.

While he was surprised by what Alice could do, it made sense once he attributed it to her being an anomaly.

‘Yep, common sense doesn’t work with this girl.’ “You’re welcome.

We’ll be taking the caravan to the capital now so I don’t think we’ll see each other again unless a coincidence occurs.

Since that’s the case, I might as well give you a parting gift.” Taking a deep breath, Alice activated her second and third Sigil to make a blood orb above her hand.

“If you’re ever in danger, channel a bit of energy into this and throw it towards your enemy.

It’ll blow up and should seal up their ability to use Sigil powers for a bit.” Alice explained.

Creating a second orb, she threw it casually to the side to demonstrate.

*BANG!!!!

A torrent of violet flames erupted as the crystal was decimated.

A miniature orb holding a Void Flux that’ll explode on impact and coat the target with Violet Flames.

A one time use item to turn the tides and save Torgeir’s life if it ever came down to it.

Seeing the destructive power of the orb, Torgeir was almost afraid to accept it in fear of it just detonating in his hands.

However, if it indeed worked as Alice had explained, it was a priceless life saving tool.

“Thank you.” Waving goodbye to Torgeir, Alice left the forest with Selen and Egil.

Arranging for a carriage, it was time for them to make their way to the capital.

### After finishing with marking down the change in the forest, Jonas bid his farewells to Torgeir.

“Seems like Verona has gotten some annoying people.” Jonas muttered as his skin began to peel away, revealing his true appearance beneath the disguise.

“But that last attack… It’s not something a four Sigil Hunter should be capable of.” He muttered as more of his disguise began to disappear.

Massaging his neck, he flicked his hand and created a small wooden bird.

“Keira didn’t fulfil her ritual so she took a punishment.

In that state, if she was to take that kind of attack, it’s no surprise she died.

Elowen should be pretty happy though, the culprit has been found.” He smirked.

Embedding a message into the bird, he threw it into the air and watched as it flew away towards the south, where Elowen was waiting with Troy.

“But to think the commander would send me out for this kind of boring errand.

I should probably lodge a complaint.” Shaking his head, Sigils began to light up on his body.

His form began to twist and crack, extending his limbs as wood burst out from under his skin.

A skull formed over his head with two large wooden antlers attached to the top.

A wooden beast with bones and black spiked fur.

Taking a step, he sunk down into the ground and disappeared as though he was never there.

### Sitting by the window, Elowen waited.

Soon, a wooden bird appeared by her window as she read the message and stood up.

With the culprit now found, it was time for them to make a move.

An attack on the capital to end this war and seal up any news they may potentially have on the hybrids.

Even if the Lords are there, so what?

The Zenia family is not scared of a few Lords.
