Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 - Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Battle to Rescue – 6
Veylin smiled in disdain upon hearing the lady in the mask and focused his attention on the ten spheres of black flames.

Seeing them circling around him, he decided to take his chances. With his spear aimed at the lady’s heart, he struck five times in quick succession, but the moment he attacked, one of the five flame spheres turned into a shield and appeared in front of the lady, blocking his strikes.

A look of understanding flashed in Veylin’s eyes as he observed this. “You’re just stalling for time, aren’t you?” he asked.

The lady in the mask responded indifferently, “No, I am not stalling. I am just defending Max.”

Veylin’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Then you’ll have to do better than that.” His body began to release lightning in all directions around the lady in the mask.

Some tendrils of lightning reached her right side, some slithered around her left, while others curled behind her. The lightning completely surrounded her from all sides.

Just then, Veylin’s body disappeared from his position and appeared at one of the lightning tendrils on the right side of the lady. His spear stabbed toward her heart.

The movement of Veylin from his original position to where the lightning was wriggling around was so fast that most couldn’t even react.

But that was not the case for the lady in the mask. From the holes in her eyes, it was clear that she moved her gaze the moment Veylin appeared at her right side.

She was able to react swiftly to his attack, even before it reached her.

As soon as Veylin moved from his position, one of the black flame spheres moved with him and appeared at the right side of the lady.

It blocked his attack, rendering him shocked, but he didn’t give up. He disappeared again, reappearing where the lightning from her left side was.

Veylin thrust his spear toward her, but once again, it was blocked by one of the black flame spheres.

“I’m faster!” Veylin shouted as he moved around the lady in the mask, stabbing his spear at her from all angles and all sides.

It was like he was riding the lightning… like he became the lightning as he moved along the tendrils, appearing and disappearing out of nowhere.

He was like a blur of shadows attacking her non-stop from all her sides.

However, none of his attacks landed on the lady in the mask. Every single one of his spear strikes was blocked by the black flame spheres, rendering all his efforts useless.

“Who are you?” Veylin asked, his face contorting with frustration. He was one level above her in strength and still couldn’t touch her. This made him very uncomfortable.

The lady in the mask replied indifferently, “It doesn’t matter. Just know that you won’t pass me.”

Veylin gritted his teeth in frustration. He definitely didn’t want to let this chance slip away. “It seems I’ll have to get serious now.”

The lady smiled in response behind her mask.

Veylin calmed himself down, standing with the spearhead facing her. Lightning began to gather around the tip of his spear, slowly concentrating on it.

As this happened, Five turned to the man in the mask. “You faked it quite well by taking the lead and forcing me to counter you, leaving her with Veylin.”

The man in the mask chuckled. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said, glancing toward the lady in the mask. Suddenly, he sensed a very dangerous energy behind her.

“What’s the kid doing?” he frowned as he saw a long blade in front of Max, glowing with red and blue hues.

Five turned and saw it as well. “He’s been at it for a while now,” he said, pondering.

“I know,” the man in the mask said, his eyes narrowing. “I thought he was looking for an opening to attack Veylin, but it seems he had something else entirely planned.”

Five’s expression turned extremely serious as he studied the blade. “I don’t know if it’s a skill or a technique, but this blade is oozing with serious energy. This attack has already reached our level.”

The man in the mask nodded, intrigued. “But I don’t think he’s done yet.”

While the lady from the Black Lotus Guild had taken her time to defend him against Veylin, Max wasn’t idle.

He had been preparing his strongest attack in such a way that it would appear to others as though he was simply waiting for an opening to attack Veylin. In reality, he had been preparing his most powerful move.

Looking at the long blade emanating such intense power, Max felt conflicted about one thing.

‘Should I add my black flames or not?’ At this moment, he didn’t care about others seeing him use black flames, but he couldn’t be sure how people from the Black Lotus Guild would react.

Would they target him for his black flames? What would happen then?

Tens of questions raced through his mind, but he understood that this was his only chance against Veylin. If he didn’t take it, he would always remain passive, relying on others to defend him.

Moreover, only after taking Veylin down would he have a chance to rescue Alice.

‘I’ll risk it all,’ Max thought resolutely, and added the black flames to the long blade.

The blade immediately turned pitch black, engulfed in black flames.

The man in the mask was shocked to see the black flames, and for the first time in his life, he felt something stir inside him—something in his bloodline, something restricting his bloodline, restricting his powers.

‘Bloodline suppression? But how?’ He muttered his eyes widened in shock, hundreds of questions flooding his mind.

It wasn’t just him who was affected; all the members of the Black Lotus Guild were as well. However, the most noticeable reaction came from the lady in the mask.

The ten spheres of black flames surrounding Veylin suddenly extinguished, their flames vanishing.

The lady in the mask felt the pressure on her body, the suppression of her bloodline. It felt as if someone had stripped away all her strength, leaving her completely vulnerable.

“Move aside,” she heard Max’s voice, and as if by instinct, or due to the bloodline suppression, she immediately stepped aside.

Then, she saw a long sword, bathed in black flames, hovering in front of Max. The aura emanating from it was enough to overwhelm anyone completely.

At that moment, Veylin also saw the long blade overflowing with black flames. He had already noticed Max preparing something, but since he had been busy with his own attack, he hadn’t paid attention to Max.

After all, how strong could an attack from someone at level 3 of Apprentice Rank be? He had already faced Max’s attacks before they were strong but at the same time not strong enough to cause any harm to him.

But the instant he saw the blade engulfed in black flames, he regretted his earlier decision. He actually felt a little threatened by that blade.

“Go.” Max didn’t waste any time and sent the blade flying toward Veylin.

The distance between them wasn’t great, so the blade only needed a moment to reach Veylin.

“Damn you!” Veylin cursed out loud, his voice filled with rage as he thrust his spear, fully engulfed in lightning, toward Max.
