Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 226: Violet Inferno Slash

"Diablo! face your death!!" Skyler shouted as he activated the scroll, making his body and sword enveloped in a violet flaming aura.

Watching him like this, Diablo narrowed his eyes.

Until now, their fight contained only some basic skills, and because of this he didn't care too much. But now, with Skyler using an unknown skill like this, he had no choice but to stop fooling around.

'Is this some kind of enchantment skill?' Diablo thought with a frown as he felt a sense of oppression coming from Skyler.

But before he could think further, Skyler attacked.

"Take my sword!" he shouted, slashing his sword at Diablo, which was covered in a terrifying violet flame.

Diablo became serious as he felt scorching heat sweep towards him, even though his body was covered with Arcane Sheild.

If it were a normal person, they would've been injured beyond cure, as for low-level people, their injuries would be serious if they came in contact with scorching heat for a long period of time.

'This basterd is really poisonous,' Diablo cursed in his heart, knowing he was going to force him to protect the people behind.

If he decided to protect, he would show some weakness making it easier for Skyler to kill him, and if he decided not to, then Skyler would use this as an excuse to defame him and justify himself.

'I should teach this basterd a lesson,' Diablo muttered inwardly with irritation, as he saw Skyler's sword arrive in front of him.

Even though the distance between was close, Diablo remained calm and used 'Guardian's Stance' skill to block his attack without any panic.

*Clang!*

A metallic sound rang as their swords collided again, but this time only Diablo was forced back.

Nevertheless, he remained clam with a faint smile hanging on his face.

Watching him like this, Skyler snorted with irritation.

"Diablo, my next attacks would be special attacks. If you fail to defend, you and the people behind would die; however, if you successfully defend it, then you will be able to live along with people behind you," he stated with a loud voice.

Hearing him, Diablo couldn't help but laugh coldly.

"Haha, so this is your true face who will kill innocents just for profit. I wonder if there is any difference between you and heinous people from dark factions," he commented with extreme contempt.

However, Skyler acted like he did not hear him. After all, dead men tell no tales.

Besides, if he kills Diablo, he will be protected by his superiors, where they will slap the church's face for not stopping such fights from happening in the city and endangering the lives of innocents.

No matter what, a city lord cannot ignore battles happening in his area and must immediately use city functions to protect people.

However, there was no such case here, so Skyler can push all the blame on the city lord later.

But of course, the premise is that he kills Diablo, and he was quite confident in it.

"Impudent criminal! Do not try to distract me and face your retribution," Skyler replied with a snort as he felt the full activation of his scroll.

The scroll he used was level 90, which was seventeen levels higher than him. Because of this, it took some time to activate completely.

Of course, the power of scroll was less because of his level; if not, his body would be seriously injured.

Nevertheless, it was enough to kill Diablo, who he thought was on the same level as him.

'Let's see how you will laugh again!' Skyler thought with a vicious look as he released the power of scroll, which made violet flaming aura around him expand rapidly by a total of ten meters creating a special enchantment field.

Diablo was already a distance away because of previous exchange, so he wasn't engulfed by it and witnessed everything calmly.

Meanwhile, Li Wei and Alessia were also watching everything as they were waiting for the instructions of old geezer.

However, old geezer didn't seem to have any intentions of stopping Skyler, so they just waited quietly.

Li Wei quite liked this situation as he was using the eternal learning skill, which was rapidly depleting his MP, meaning he will be able to learn Skyler's skill soon.

'I hope it is not something with backlash,' he thought in his heart and focused his attention on Skyler, who was closing on Diablo with a sword.

His enchantment field also followed suit with him, which engulfed Diablo inside, making him feel the terrifying heat from the violet-flaming aura around him.

Because of this, Diablo didn't take dare to take lightly and used a large lump of MP to cast 'Arcane Shield' in large area around them as not to affect the people behind.

Skyler saw this but didn't care about his actions, as his target was only Diablo.

However, he didn't attack immediately, and stood a few meters away from him.

"Diablo, your crimes are harming innocent people, trying to kill hero, and helping dark factions do heinous things."

"Because of this, I, Skyler Kane, a royal knight, will behead you for justice," he announced with an arrogant look, making everyone speechless.

Everyone in the city knew that Diablo in front of him was just a clone, so what the hell was justice?

Of course, there were some people, such as four nobles, who wanted to tell him this, but the old geezer intervened, sealing space and sound around them, which was why Skyler was clueless until now.

'The geezer seems to hate these guys,' Diablo thought, feeling stunned, but he didn't care too much as he didn't want to end up in the conflict between the royals and the church.

"Royal Knight, stop with the nonsense and attack," he said in impatience, as his main body still hadn't learned the skill.

"Humph, if you are in a hurry to die, then let me send you on your way," Skyler snorted as he gripped his sword tightly.

"Face the retribution for your crimes!"

"Violet Inferno Slash!" he shouted slashing his sword at Diablo, which erupted with terrifying violet flames.

Diablo couldn't escape from this because the enchantment field sealed the space, making teleportation useless.

As for the shadow step, it still worked, but this skill was something he used frequently with his main identity, so he wasn't going to use it.

'I can only fight head-on,' he thought to himself as he saw violet flames sweeping towards him like sea waves, leaving him no way to dodge.

Even if there was a way to dodge, he couldn't because the arcane shield behind him might break.
