activated Ardum's Barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ardum's Barrier was very different from normal Barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ardum was a potential heir to the Melfion family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver sparkle had been Ardum's Barrier, which had created a thin film of energy over Ardum's clothing and skin, and when the spear was close to hitting Ardum, the Barrier's shape changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Barrier stretched out and angled 30° to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear hit the angled Barrier, and its trajectory changed so that it passed by Ardum instead of hitting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, quite a bit of the spear's force still hit the Barrier, but it was almost negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together with the five-to-one ratio of attacking Zephyx to defensive Zephyx of the Barrier, Ardum didn't even lose 10% of his Zephyx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the alley, Nick gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected Ardum to be first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any of the other two had arrived, they would have been killed, most likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, Ardum's Barrier was just way too advanced and powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even though Ardum didn't take any serious damage, his fear and anger still exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he had felt like he was about to die, which made him absolutely furious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could such a nobody cause such panic in him?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the greatest acts of disrespect that Ardum had ever experienced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're going to pay for this!\" Ardum spoke through gritted teeth with pure venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick didn't answer and just pulled out a black ball from one of his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick threw the ball onto the ground in front of him, and a huge cloud of smoke filled the alleyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ardum snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a silver flicker appeared in front of Ardum's eyes, and some kind of display appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Ardum's vision, the colors changed, but the smoke also seemingly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, such an expensive Barrier had more than a few utility effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Ardum could see how Nick ran into one of the buildings at the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ardum aggressively shot forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ardum punched through the door of the building that Nick had just entered, and he quickly charged down one of the hallways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, this one led into an empty room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The display in front of Ardum's eyes changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colors became subdued, but there were several bright specks floating in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bright specks were particles that created human scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that Ardum could essentially see Nick's smell with his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The particles were dispersing, but they were still far more concentrated in some spots than in others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, this meant that Nick had been there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ardum rapidly charged forward again, following the trail of scent that Nick had left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Ardum reached another room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trail ended in front of a hole in the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ardum narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Nick jump into the sewers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, an arm shot out of the hole and grabbed Ardum's ankle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ZZZZZT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, a spark of lightning appeared around Ardum's ankle after it sparkled with a silver color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arm started to smoke and rapidly retreated back into the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, such an obvious weakness as getting grabbed was something that the Barrier could deal with as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the floor below Ardum exploded as a foot kicked through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ardum was flung forward, and his Barrier sparkled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'You want to throw me into the sewers?!' Ardum thought with absolute fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the air, Ardum turned to Nick's foot and threw a scalpel at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, he missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Ardum landed on the other side of the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blade shot through the floor and cut to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plate Ardum was standing on collapsed, but he managed to jump to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of Ardum's knives hit the blade and bounced off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And reappeared at the edge of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it rapidly moved along the outside of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ardum gritted his teeth and threw his remaining tools at the flooring beside the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG! BANG! BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three tools punched through the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SPLASH! SPLASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two distant sounds of splashing appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Did I hit?' Ardum thought with furrowed brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the blade kept going around the room at incredible speeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ardum focused on conjuring more tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, conjuring tools took some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the next couple of seconds, Ardum launched several tools at the spot where Nick should be, but he had no idea if he actually hit him or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the room became too unstable, Ardum jumped to one of the walls and punched through it, keeping himself above the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor began to shake, and the blade vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Ardum held himself up on the wall with his left hand, his right hand was ready to throw another three scalpels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the floor fell down, Ardum would throw them at Nick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, instead of falling, the floor suddenly shot upwards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ardum's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire vision was occupied by the floor of the room that was coming closer and closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ardum's Barrier activated when the metal floor touched him, and a silver light appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the floor, Nick's eyes sparkled as the silver light of Ardum's Barrier shone through some of the holes in the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the floor had already risen by a lot, Nick grabbed one of the walls of the room with his hands and kicked the floor in the direction of the silver light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire floor bent, and Ardum's eyes widened as it shot towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor buried into the walls and ceiling in several places, getting stuck in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ardum gritted his teeth and also kicked the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor bent in more places, and Nick could see the spot that Ardum had just kicked from the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An extremely powerful impact bent the floor again, and Ardum's Barrier shone again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kick had just consumed nearly 3% of Ardum's Zephyx!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the ceiling above it and the wall behind it, Ardum's Barrier couldn't redirect the force of the strike, which meant that it was forced to block it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ardum kicked forward again, bending more of the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG! BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, more powerful attacks came from the other side of the floor, using up more of Ardum's Zephyx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worst of all, Ardum couldn't tell where Nick was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Nick was somewhere behind the floor, but he didn't know where!\u003C\u002Fp>",1107,"2026-06-02T07:52:31.266Z",1,"novelbin.me","cd91da44baa6b0c3ba73f05c1d5d0797cc8ea1125aba043830b01b4736580bb9","kill-the-sun-chapter-167","kill-the-sun-chapter-165",992,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkill-the-sun-cover.jpg"]
