Chapter 712: Chapter 589: Birth of Asura Chapter 712: Chapter 589: Birth of Asura Ah…!

Red Prajna howled to the sky and reached out with his thick palm to grip the sharp horns on top of his head. With a pained roar, he tore off the twin horns from his skull in one swift motion!

Blood spewed everywhere like molten lava. Red Prajna was holding the horns in his hands, and at the other end of the horns, dark energy flowed into the air, almost instantly solidifying the spraying blood.

And they formed a pair of extravagantly shaped Ghost Horn Blades!

As the horns broke off, the gushing blood clogged the wound and subsequently grew upwards into a pair of curved energy horns.

The next second, he crossed the Twin Blades in front of him, demonic power surging all around, and the monsters that surrounded him were cleaved in two.

And just like a whirlwind, he appeared beside Roger.

Roger, naturally unwilling to linger in battle, took Yuan Guanghai and soared into the sky. But just at that moment, Red Prajna’s massive figure flashed eerily, intercepting Roger’s path.

“My luck is truly good to have found you before the others!”

“You can’t go anywhere. The only choice you have here is who gets to kill you!”

Swish, swish, swish!

Red Prajna’s body was massive yet his speed was unbelievably swift.

[Spiral Wind]
His body moved at high speed, wielding the Twin Blades almost too fast to track. Roger, with one hand protecting Yuan Guanghai, was forced to fight distractedly.

But he was no longer the man he once was. Although Red Prajna was fast, each of his swings was not without trace.

Clang, clang, clang!

The crisp sound of clashing metal reverberated as Roger countered two blades with one sword, clearly at a disadvantage in speed, but deflecting the opponent’s attack at the critical moment and readjusting his angle to counterattack.

If not for the need to protect Yuan Guanghai, Roger had other, more violent, means to kill his adversary. But for the sake of a speedy resolution, he had to willingly bear some of the attacks.

Countering force with mass; moreover, as his speed increased, so too did his strength.

With every clash against Red Prajna, a portion of the force was absorbed by Roger, fueling his next attack.

In just a few breaths, Roger’s strength increased to the extent that Red Prajna could not withstand it with one hand alone, and Red Prajna realized the crux of the problem; he couldn’t believe he was at a physical disadvantage in their struggle.

The next instant, as his hands crossed, the two weapons in Red Prajna’s grasp merged into one, and at the same time, the aura emanating from his body surged.

Roger was unperturbed but pleased; this very moment was what he had hoped to see.

Immense power flowed from the weapon in Red Prajna’s hands. Roger staggered backward, suppressing the sword with one hand, while the Quinn Sword Seal on his body resonated with echoes.

The next second, the returned force flowed into his body, and simultaneously, a flash of light burst from the Sword of Destiny.

[Returning Slash]
Compared to the previous unrefined display of strength, the Quinn Sword Seal had been considerably refined after readjustment. Roger executed a reversal in the blink of an eye.

His body vanished mysteriously, reappearing behind Red Prajna.

Not concerning himself with the outcome of the battle, Roger gathered a lot of information from Red Prajna’s words.

“Who is Lord Kurokawa? And there are more monsters on their way.”

The combat strength of Red Prajna’s true form was not extremely powerful, but defeating him in a short time was still extremely difficult. In that instant just now, Roger seized the opportunity to explode with power.

After his departure, Red Prajna’s Saw Blade suddenly shattered, followed by his body splitting in two.

Roger’s sword strike possessed not just power and speed but also the explosive damage unique to the Alder Sword Seal.

Simply severing wasn’t enough to kill a monster with a formidable body, but the explosive force contained within was sufficient, after Roger’s departure, to let the foe experience what it truly meant to be worse than dead.

Red Prajna’s screams of agony filled the air, but then he was engulfed by an overwhelming swarm of monsters, with grating gnawing sounds emitting.

These creatures had forgotten to continue their chase after Roger and instead indulged in devouring Red Prajna as a delectable treat.

“You just now…”

Yuan Guanghai’s face showed shock. He was considered a prodigy, powerful despite his young age, and had realized Roger’s strength in their recent battle.

But what he hadn’t expected was that the combat power Roger had displayed then was merely the tip of the iceberg.

He had braced himself for a hard fight, but the battle had ended almost as soon as it had started.

“Guide the way!”

Roger said sternly.

He was anxious and didn’t notice the abnormality in his emotions. What Roger didn’t realize was that after the death of Red Prajna, a faint red light merged unnoticed into his body.

He could feel it: behind him, from a great distance, many powerful presences were rushing towards him.

No, not just behind him.

But from all directions!

If he couldn’t find Higurashi Chika before these creatures found him, then Roger would have no choice but to use the power of Shadow’s Touch to leave this eerie place.

While it would ensure his safety, it also meant he would have to abandon Higurashi Chika.

In such a place, it wouldn’t matter if it was Higurashi Chika or anyone else; if he couldn’t find a way out, even if Roger’s strength increased tenfold, he would be worn down by the unending hordes of monsters!

“Quick, I must be faster!”

Roger didn’t notice, but with each movement explosive force burst from beneath his feet, propelling his body like a rocket, accelerating with every push.
