Black Quantiarch: The Progenitor's Odyssey-Chapter 199: The Greenwood Academy [39]
Black right away had his gaze knitted the instant he heard the masked Man's words!! Not diverting his attention!! He probed!! "Do you know this unknown Man Selina!? ... "
"No I don't My Lord!!~~ ... "
At her plain answer!! He frowned in puzzlement!! Black was full of questions!! If Lina didn't know him- Then what was the reason for the hoodied Man's strange words!? ...
He couldn't be here for him right!? ...

'Neal!! A male!! Dark Elf!! Bloodline- Exceptional Tier!! Transformation Core- Perfect!! Laws- Darkness and Nature!! ...
Comprehension- Level 4 and 3 respectively!! Mortal!! Ascension Rank 8- Level 87!! Prowess- 6!! 3 from the perfect core and 3 from the bloodline!! Making him as strong as someone at Level 91!! ...
Not to mention his abilities!! ... '
Black's eyes flashed!! Focused on a 1 particular Movement-type Ability of the Dark Elf!! – [ Tread of Darkness ] ... He knew about this ability quiet well actually!! ...
It was the Pseudo-Divine version of the Divine Grade Movement-type Ability!! – [ Darkness Traverse ] ... Created by an independent divine phase Darkness Spirit he came to learn of through his Maids!! ...
As for how Black realized this with the current limitation of his partial-omniscint capped at the mortal phase!! It was quiet simply in fact!! ...
He was able to see the name of the pseudo-divine ability in Neal's information in the system screen because he already knew about the ability beforehand!! ...
Furthermore to see a pseudo-divine Movement-type ability in the hands of the Dark Elf before him participating in this normal tournament beside him!! ...
An ability that should've easily given him a speed of seven-levels in the Mortal Phase!! It didn't take long for Black to connecte the dots!! ...
'Another assassination!! So soon- Isn't that entertaining!! Are the divine's that desperate to kill Me!! Enough that they can't even wait 24 hours!! ...
Eh!!.. I guess more then 24 hours have passed!! If I take in the time spent in Freya's pseudo-divine domain and in this artifact!! ...
Anyways all things aside!! This Elf is here for me instead of Lina! Huh!? ... '
His lips curled in derision!! ...
Even though killing the Dark Elf was was always an option for him!! But Black also knew that if one was here to kill him then there must be others too!! ...
Then there was also Line!! Black didn't know what he'd do if something were to happen to her because of him or if they used her as a hostage to target him!! ...
One thing he for sure knew was that!! He would not abandon her!! Never in any circumstances!! ...
That only comes to with him getting the 'F' out of here!! In any case fleeing from this Elf was the easiest thing!! As for the so-called 7-Levels of speed!! ...
It was simply impossible!! ...
Utmost the ability [ Tread of Darkness ] would give him 3-Levels of speed!! Black came to the conclusion because of the Dark Elf's age and his bloodline tier!! ...
There is no way the Elf could've compherended the complete pseudo-divine ability in just 10 to 20 years of his life with his megar bloodline!! ...
Not when even Black too despite his identity was just nearing the part where he would be able to successfully combine any two of his Elemental Laws!! ...
Though it was a fact that compherending an ability incorporated with the concept of combination was 10 times harder then any normal ability!! ...
However as both were pseudo-divine abilities with one being a down graded version of a divine grade ability and another being a combination-type ability!! Therefore the difficulty of learning the two abilities was more or less the same for the mortal atleast!! ...
Reason why he imagined that the Dark Elf's speed shouldn't increase by more then 3-Levels despite him using a pseudo-divine Movement-type ability!! But even that wasn't the reason for his confidence!! ...
The Elf would still be at speed equivalent to someone at Ascension Level 94 but Black had something with him that would make his escape a success without much problem!! ...
"Hmm!! Your Ascension Level!! How come you're already at Level 79!! How is that possible so quickly!? ... " Neal finally noticed!! His tone one of pure shock and amazement!! ...
Black also came out of his pondering at the Elf's words which further confirmed him previous conclusion!! 'Lina step closer to Me!! ... '
Next with a vigilant! Mindful and perceptive posture!! ...
He once more consciously remembered his current surroundings with his full attention fixed on the Elf!! They were standing right at the exit of a deep and narrow valley with steep sides!! ...
Before him was the Assassin and behind him was the path they had just traversed!! ...
"Weren't you only at Ascension Level 75 when you teleported to the Academy!! We had our source and we know for a fact that information was hundred percent accurate!! ... "
The Elf tilted his head!! Even though Black couldn't see his expression because of the mask hiding his face!! He clearly noticed the Man's inquisitive and curious tone!! ...
Aside from noticing how the Elf was looking down on him despite his apparent amazement!! ...
"How I advanced doesn't matter Elf!! ... " His lips arched up disdainfully!! His hands coiled around Lina's waist as he pulled her closer!! ...
"The amusing part is you pigs do indeed work rather fast!! The time when I teleported to the Academy to the time the tournament began!! How much was it- about 45 minutes I guess!! ...
But you pigs are already here!! Encrypting My location with but a few clues I might have left behind while I was busy exploring the Greenwood City!! ... "
"You certainly have quiet a big mouth for someone as weak as you!! ... " Neal chuckled with amusement!! His head fixed on the figure of the Elf in his arms!! ...
"The reason for your vain arrogance!! Is it this girl in your arms!! Perhaps you think she can protect you from Me!! How entertaining!! ... "
He shook his head!! "What a naive young brat!! ... " Further mumbling to himself!! ...
"Even though I can't compherend why our Master ordered us to kill you on sight and bring your dead corpse back to him if we could!! For what inexplicable reason he didn't order us to simply capture you alive!! ... "
"However none of that really matters!! ... " Neal refocused on Black!! "Guess your journey ends here with that girl of course!! ... " He smiled behind his mask!! ...
"It would!! That is if you can even catch Me!! ... " Black responded indifferently!! The next instant he used his new Movement-type Ability!! ...
The ones where he combines both Luna and Wix's Movement-type abilities to use them with every aspect of his Law of Lightening!! ...
*Booom!!~~* He shot into the valley behind!! Leaving the earth scorched and cracked in a cobweb-shape where he was standing!! ...
*Crackle!!~~* ... *Crackle!!~~* ...
His figure clad from head to toe in pure arcs of intertwining lightening speeding through the narrow valleys!! The while princess-carrying his Elf in his arms!! ...
He moved from one to another!! His speed at Level 89+2!! ...
Alternatively Neal watched Black with a bewildered expression!! However instantly composed himself!! His mind still confident that he would not loose track of him despite the shock he experienced because the speed Black displayed!! ...
*Booom!!~~* He also shot forward!! The darkness embraced his figure and the valley exit trembled by his sudden burst of magical energy!! ...
'I wonder just what kind of secrets you hold! For someone who can advance by 5-Levels in mere hours or even days!! For someone so strong!! ...
Good that the others aren't here with Me otherwise I would've had to share My credit of killing you!! Our target with them!! ... '
However as he reached a point of intersection that divided into many!! He all of a sudden became dumbfounded!! His eyes wide with disbelief!! ...
What was speeding away from him wasn't just one target but many!! ...
His senses spread trying to check which one was real but he failed because the strength of once senses was a reflection of how strong one was with his base prowess!! ...
Meaning his senses were only at Level 91 whereas Black had created those many clones of himself and Lina through his ability [ Clone Of Self ] ...
Which gave him a prowess of 7-Levels and combine that with his base prowess of 10-Levels!! His clones came at about Level 94!! ...
The Dark Elf would never be able to tell who was the real him!! Not when the speed of his clones was also at Level 94!! Simply catching up to a one would be a challenge for him!! ...
"How the Hell is that possible!? ... How!? ... " The Dark Elf went into a valley that couldn't be farthest from the one Black was speeding through!! ...
Meanwhile!! ...
Black smirking inwardly remembered the dark fissure that he had spotted coincidentally not that long ago while traversing the valleys with Lina!! ...
It was hidden deep inside the valley!! Like a cave of sorts with a narrow maw as an enterance!! ...
'I suppose that could be a good resting spot for the time being!! I should also contact My maids and inform them what happened here!! ...
As they would never know what happened here otherwise!! Not when the recording of all three of our badges is stopped!! ... '
He smiled!! ...
