Divine Path System

Chapter 73 - Space And Body Powers

The Abyssals rushed out of the hideout and found Varian.

They were still scared and enraged of the one who took away their communication bracelets.

However, seeing only a human who exuded the aura of Level 2, they bared their fangs.

Around 20 Abyssals, all at Level 2 dashed at him.

Except for the elites of the first year in Level 3, any other team would've only one result facing this group of fiends. Death without an intact corpse.

"Too bad, you're facing me." Varian equipped a sword in his left hand and a gauntlet in his right as he waited for the Abyssals to close the distance.

And close they did.

"How dare she steal our comms?"

"Our headquarters will slaughter that bitch."

"We'll take your life."

They roared and leapt at Varian.

Since they were 20 of them, only five leapt at him, while the others formed an encirclement.

Varian checked his comm once. Before they left, they agreed to share their location in case of emergencies.

At the moment, everyone was away from him. The closest was Sarah, even she was a dozen kms away.

"Now's my chance." Varian's usually calm face was plastered with an excited smile.

The moment Abyssals who leapt at him, he channeled his space power.

Boom!

Screech!

Reeey!

The fists, swords and cubs all missed their target as Varian simply disappeared.

"What?!"

The Abyssals were bewildered at his sudden disappearance and it took a moment for them to realize he was a Space Awakener.

"Behind you!"

An Abyssal suddenly yelled and the others looked at the pointed direction.

Thud.

A bright light flashed and a head rolled down the ground.

Splussh!

The green blood splurted like a foundation out of the severed neck.

"Fall back!" The captain of the troops, a peak level 2 ordered.

Varian merely smiled at him and channeled his space power.

He could feel the space around him roughly and the space sense told him where each Abyssal was.

It was like a special map opened up in his mind. It was built through the lens of space.

The 19 Abyssals hurried to make a distance and form a defensive formation.

They were still in his space sense's range.

"You." Varian uttered and his space sense locked the space coordinates behind one of the Abyssal.

The Abyssal held a heavy shield and was a suitable early prey.

The next moment, Varian felt the space power in his body click and he appeared at his locked location.

The Abyssal had better instincts and instinctively pushed the shield behind him, guarding his neck and heart areas.

Instead of his sword, Varian's fist in gauntlet greeted the shield.

Thaap!

The shield shook and a small opening appeared at the neck region.

Shua!

Varian's sword slit the Abyssal's throat and made another blood fountain.

"Anti-Teleporter Defense formation! Gather closely idiots! Give him no time and space." The captain ordered.

Instead of fighting him, the Abyssals grouped together into two circles.

One circle was looking outward. The other was looking inward.

This way, he'd not be able to attack any Abyssal from behind.

Besides, the Abyssals in outer circle have their backs against the ones in Inner circle.

This ensured Varian could not teleport between them either.

The plan was that without the surprise element, they could easily overwhelm him in a frontal combat with their superior senses and reaction speed.

They were wrong about one thing.

Shiii….

The wind whistled as it was pierced by something sharp.

The Abyssals in inner circle all noticed Varian the moment he teleported teleported inside.

However, his sword descended at an insane pace for a Space Awakener and his target couldn't react in time.

Thud

Splassh

Another head rolled on the ground and only then did the Abyssal captain realize something.

"D-Dual Awakener."

Varian was both a Space and a Body Awakener. If he was only a Space Awakener, Abyssals' tactics would've worked.

If a Level 2 Space Awakener teleported into their formation, reasonably, he'd try to freeze the space around his target and slit his throat.

This way, he could compensate his slow reaction speed.

But with the formation in place, the remaining Abyssals would attack the Space Awakener before his attack could reach his target.

This was possible due to the faster movements and reaction speed of a Body Awakener.

This formation ensured was tested over many Space Awakeners' teleportation tactics and proved itself, even garnering the name of 'Anti-Teleportation formation'.

But when the teleporter was as fast as them, this formation was useless.

'This is the true power of multiple divine paths.' Varian smiled and locked another

target.

"Get closer!"

The Abyss captain yelled and they drew close. This way, if the attacker teleported inside, he would be at their arm's reach.

'Very well' Varian squinted his eyes and used his space sense.

'These two Abyssals in the outer formation, they are tense and glancing inward.' Varian spotted them with his space sense and locked his next target.

Shuaa

"Cough"

"Cough"

The two abyssals clutched their necks as they gurgled and coughed. The precise cut pushed them to the point of no return.

Plop!

Plop!

They collapsed to their knees as they tried to breathe and in the end, ended their life with a resentful gaze.

"You bastard!" An Abyssal yelled.

"Fight us square."

"Pitiful coward."

One by one, they tried to provoke him by name calling. The Abyssal captain, who signalled it silently assessed the situation.

If the other party took the bait and attacked the Abyssals provoking him, he'd be able to land a hit on the human.

One hit and he was confident to bring him down.

Contrary to their expectations, Varian's chilling voice resounded in the air.

"Lemme clear the field and then we'll have a one one one."

The next few minutes were the absolute nightmare of the Abyssal captain.

Thud

Thud

Thud

One by one, twelve more of his brethren collapsed. Only three remained.

"No!" His eyes turned bloodshot as he glared at the human in the distance.

He disappeared once and a blinding light flashed at one of the Abyssal before he disappeared again. Only two remained.

'Only I can react to his speed.' The Abyssal captain knew.

Now only the captain and his aide were remaining. Instead of flying into rage, the captain was calm.

'I will avenge my brothers. Your skull shall be sent to their home.' He looked at Varian and vowed inside.

The other Abyssal stuck close to him. Should Varian attack that guy, then he would use his peak Level 2 speed to block Varian.

The worst Varian could do is to attack him.

He was a peak Level 2 and was confident in not only blocking but also countering Varian should he be the one subjected to sneak attack.

'Now, what will you choose?' A grim, bloodthirsty smile appeared on the captain.
