Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Are you worthy?

Freya smirked at Adam as she raised her arm and pointed at him, "Right! Didn't you say you wanted me to serve you?"

Adam's face darkened as he looked on at her.

"Are you sure you can withstand my lightning?" she gripped her fingers into fists and smiled.

"Do you think you are worthy?"

Adam snorted at her, "Mask girl, just because you managed to borrow nature's resources doesn't necessarily mean you are stronger than me. Aren't you being too arrogant here?"

He was mesmerized with her for a second when the lightning descended and wrapped her small frame. She looked like a princess who had a lightning crown on her head.

Zelal had his mouth wide open and he murmured, "If I had been anyway near her, I would have been roasted to death."

He felt someone pat his shoulder.

Jinha grinned, "That's why people say, you should listen to your seniors."

Annoyed, Zelal shrugged off his hand.

'Senior? who was his junior? We are just few years apart.'

But then realisation dawned on him. He looked at Jinha who was standing in front of him. So who was the one who held him back?

He looked down at the pretty hand wrapped around his hand and was surprised slightly. He thought it was Jinha who was holding him back, but it was Liz.

He looked at Liz who had her eyes focused on Freya. Realising his stare, she took her hand back and ignored him.

At the battleground, Freya disappeared and appeared behind Adam within a split-second. She raised her dagger and wiped the blood off.

Wait..blood...How did it come?!!!!

Zelal turned to look at Adam, who had his eyes wide open in shock and right around his waist, a deep cut slowly appeared drenching his clothes. Black blood sprayed out as he held his wound and dodged her kick.

He laughed like a maniac as he hollered, "Wait till I get you, you will be serving me as well as my soldiers till you die of humiliation. Even your family won't be spared."

Freya's eyes grew cold as she dashed towards him and said, "You need to have the ability to do that."

Adam laughed as he dodged her attacks. Her speed increased as her attacks sharpened. He had sweats forming on his forehead as he had to hold onto his wound with one hand while dodging her moves. It looked like he had to go all out.

He slashed his claws towards her but she dodged it and neared towards him. His dark energy spread as he moved faster dodging her next attack.

He summoned a dark ball and sent it her way. Freya dodged the attack but a loud explosion distracted her. She looked behind to see a crater formed when the ball clashed on with the rocks.

She frowned.

Freya kept on with him as they exchanged blows. She could tell he was playing around with her.

"Lightning arrows." she murmured.

She leapt into the sky where arrows materialized in the air. Her eyes narrowed as she aimed the arrows at him. It shot down towards him in an inhumane speed.

Adam backflipped as he dodged few arrows but couldn't escape all of them.

He grunted, "Mask girl, you sure are the first one to make me go all out to subdue you."

Freya smirked as she said, "Lightning fall."

Thunder rumbled above them and they saw a small space opening in the middle of the sky like a black hole. Lightning gathered above them and descended down heavily at Adam.

Adam wrapped his body in his power and used his claws to protect him.

He laughed, "Is that all you got, Mask girl? That lightning didn't do a thing."

"It wasn't meant to do a thing to you." he heard a sinister voice behind him.

He was surprised that he didn't sense her behind him. The lightning attack distracted him so much that he forgot about using his senses to track her down.

Right when he was about to move, a sharp dagger pierced his chest from behind. He looked dumbfoundedly at the dagger which was trickling in his black blood.

He fell on his knees when he heard her, "You are not worthy."

She kicked him and he exploded into ashes.
