I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Chapter 355  The Masochist [Part 2]

Northern almost took an instinctive step away from the lady.

'Is she deranged?'

He observed her for a couple of seconds, a pale look on his face.

Then he shook his head and exhaled.

"Whatever, I'll just deal with her till she can't move again and leave this place."

He twirled Gengar, and…

Whoosh

…he appeared in front of the lady with Velocity Dash, executing a flashing speed that made the lady widen her eyes.

Her cheeks reddened so much.

Northern swung Gengar from below, but she immediately spun her spear and brought it down to deflect.

However, Northern's punch crunched into her exposed flank on the side.

Her eyes widened yet again.

'Feint?!'

She managed that one thought before blowing away, tumbling into the sand.

Northern followed her immediately, landing in front of her and launching a kick onto her jaw.

She rolled into the air, slammed on the ground, and still rolled away.

Northern was there yet again.

But in that instant, she suddenly disappeared and appeared before Northern, thrusting her sword at him with a wild grin on her face.

However, the grin on her face faded when she saw what happened.

Northern smiled and slowly looked back over his shoulder.

The spear was stopping in front of him. No matter how much she tried to push, it seemed like the spear was taking forever to reach him.

He smiled a little bit and said to the lady,

"You know, I have actually been wondering about something."

The lady looked up and suddenly jumped away from Northern.

The smile on her face had turned to a cautious observation.

Northern continued:

"Your ability affected my Limitless Void. How? I didn't think I'd be able to use my attribute's abilities because my Limitless Void was out of touch for a while. But when I was eventually able to use it, I've been wondering. How the hell is it that I can't use it then?"

He looked up and around the air.

Squinted his eyes and looked at her.

"Is there like a barrier over this place?"

She immediately bug-eyed. The next second, however, she smiled.

A sweet and solemn smile, lowering her head for a little bit.

Her look for at least this second was so pure and genteel like a water lily.

Then she said:

"I expect nothing less of the man that has captured my heart."

Then she glanced up.

"The barrier is no ability of mine but an item that every Emissary of Darkness receives. Because we don't want to leave our traces."

Northern looked at her and nodded.

"Is that what is interacting with my Limitless Void?"

Even now, he had to pour a lot of void essence to keep it on.

Which was not how it used to be before.

The thing was meant to come on automatically the moment he sensed danger.

Now, it felt so manual.

'Could it have been that when the barrier was cast it affected Limitless Void, hence weakening it and subjecting it to her Erasure ability?'

To confirm, Northern used his Lock ability on himself.

In that instant, he felt Limitless Void vanish.

Taking the opportunity, as she sensed the difference in Northern's presence, the lady lunged forward, flashing across in a blink.

But dove right into Northern's punch into her stomach.

An explosion of air burst out from her back, ripping her clothes behind. Then she followed, flying away like an arrow shot from a bow, cutting through the air with unwavering purpose and incredible speed.

Before she rolled on the ground and came to a stop, she expunged more blood this time.

Her lower jaw was painted red.

Northern looked at himself.

'I was right. The barrier is weakening Limitless Void.'

He dismissed the ability, and immediately felt the return of the force. Only that it was taking more essence from him.

Just when he was about to take a step forward, a panel appeared in front of him.

[Your Void Summon Night Terror is evolving…]

Northern froze.

'What the…?'

He frowned in dark surprise.

'What is this monster doing to have gotten a thousand soul Fragments?'

Of course, he was well aware that Night Terror gained his soul fragments even from killing monsters.

Thus, he truly hoped monsters were the only thing Night Terror was killing.

Because he had been so preoccupied with what had been going on that he didn't think about Night Terror.

Well, there was proof that he was fighting all monsters.

That proof is the fact that Northern had not been asked if he wants to copy a talent.

Which means Night Terror was not facing any humans.

Remembering it put his mind at rest a little bit. He didn't negate killing humans, but he didn't want it to be done by Night Terror without his own supervision.

Look at what Chaos and Void was doing to him. Who knows what it'll do to the already vicious monster?

He looked at the lady as she tried to get up. He vanished and appeared in front of her, pressing her head back to the ground with his feet.

"I am really short on time and want to return to Lotheliwan because I have business there. So I will be straight with you."

He paused and looked at her pitiful state. He felt nothing, no pity, no sympathy for her.

'After all, she was just about to kill me herself, why should I waste any emotions?' His thoughts beckoned.

He continued:

"Surrender and I'll spare your life."

He began to feel the lady trying to stand up despite his feet pressing her down. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Noticing the struggle, Northern narrowed his eyes and slammed a heavy kick into the lady, causing the entire ground to tremble.

Even he did not expect such level of strength from himself.

'My strength has grown so much… at only Nomad rank.'

He always knew Drifters were referred to as superhuman, but this much? He was amazed at himself.

Felt proud even.

Then he looked at the lady who was eventually standing up. Her face was beaten and battered, covered in blood and bruises.

Yet she still managed that expression and said:

"Please don't stop! Defile me! Please make me suffer. I want to suffer in your hands!!"
