Endless Evolution: Last Star

Chapter 652 Fighting by the book

Whoooooooosh.

The black blade pierced deep into the lizard's chest, coming out the back side and plunging straight into the wall.

Silvana's hand moved towards the monster's neck, clutching it tightly with all her strength, effortlessly breaking the fragile bones.

It was the 20th Obsidian Lizard since they had entered the cave. Random purple crystals were their only source of light.

So far no other enemies or dangers had appeared, everything was according to their information.

Stopping at a ledge leading sharply downward, Silvana heard the voice of her Operator:

'Good, move along. This is a multi-level cave. You will have to go down to the fourth or fifth level to meet the main monster. In fact, we don't know how many levels there are; we probably only know of three,' Adam calmly said.

Silvana nodded deeply.

"I see. Well, we killed half a hundred monsters and none of them even managed to injure us, so we'll easily accomplish the mission. I'm sure of it."

Tap.

Abel and Talna came up from behind. There were a few Obsidian Lizards in front of the ledge, but Silvana killed them all in a few seconds. Abel's defenses were not needed for now, nor were Talna's abilities. She stood in the distance, watching as Abel and Silvana destroyed the lizards one by one.

Abel glanced at Silvana. They had no clear leader, but her job was to destroy the monsters.

"Shall we move on?"

"Yes, but we will do everything by the book, no mistakes will be tolerated. Abel, go ahead and stay near the wall in case you get surrounded. Then I'll join you, especially if I see opponents from above." Silvana said sternly while clutching her swords tightly.

Without further ado, Abel shrugged and jumped down. His massive silhouette flew a few meters before reaching the cold ground, a light rumble dispersed around raising a cloud of dust.

Just as Silvana had said, Abel immediately bounced back, his back touching the cold wall, a shield of golden energy was in front of him, protecting him from any onslaughts.

Soon, everyone heard his Operator's voice:

'Guys... Looks like it's clear.'

Silvana narrowed her eyes, peering into the darkness. The light from the crystals wasn't bright enough to see anything.

"Abel, be ready to defend me if I make a mistake." Silvana said calmly before stepping forward, standing in front of Abel.

His eyes ran from side to side, he wished Silvana was behind him so that his shield would protect them both, but in the end, he just nodded.

With a cold stare, Silvana crossed the black blades in front of her, her green eyes shining in the darkness like gems.

The Elite Obsidian Lizard hissed irritably but did not back down. He came here to deal with the intruders.

The monster stepped forward, pointed its heavy spear at Silvana as its purple crystal shone brightly, filling the monster's body with energy.

Silvana whispered:

"You advised me not to use anything serious against Obsidian Lizards, but... it's a higher difficulty level opponent, isn't it?"

The answer followed immediately:

'I assume, yes.'

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Purple streams of energy coming out of the crystal, covered the lizard's chest, heading towards the long spear like flows of water. A few more moments and the Elite Obsidian Lizard would be ready to unleash its most powerful attack.

"In that case, there's no point in me wasting much time on him."

A black mist emanated from Silvana's body, merging with the darkness surrounding them, quickly saturating her blades ready to fulfill their purpose.

Step.

Silvana's foot touched the ground, tilting her torso slightly forward, her hands gripping the handles tightly.

In a heartbeat, like a vengeful spirit, Silvana found herself behind an Elite Obsidian Lizard who didn't even have time to realize what had happened.

Crackling.

Dozens of bloody lines appeared on the monster's body, the blood was about to flow out, but not in time.

The monster's body exploded into small pieces, shards of flesh flying off to the sides, crashing into the walls.

"First one ready..." Silvana exhaled a cold vapor, knocking the dark blood off her swords.
