I Became A Thief Who Steals Overpowered Skills

Chapter: 155

After that, Ebelasque, who had been sniffling, finally came to her senses.

She had felt like she was about to go on a rampage, denying reality, but then she glanced at Kraush and sighed.

“Are you stupid? You think just because you’re here, I won’t feel lonely?”

What a slap in the face after trying to comfort her!

Kraush looked at her with a blank expression, while Ebelasque blew her nose loudly.

Then she shot him a sidelong glance and began to pout.

She couldn’t ignore what he had said.

“Well, if you’re feeling lonely, I guess I can stick around a bit. It’ll be tough if you get immortality and all that!”

“Oh, how thoughtful of you.”

Kraush made a bored expression and pointed below.

“First, can we stop that over there?”

Below, Haring and Sena were still fighting through the White Skeleton Legion.

So Ebelasque sheepishly raised her hand and said, “…But if I do that, I’ll betray Ixion. They’ll probably seek revenge, you know.”

Her face showed a hint of concern.

Ixion, the group of World Eroding beings, was a threat to the world itself.

Thinking they could become a target made her genuinely nervous.

“If you’re scared of revenge, don’t worry.”

Kraush scolded her for talking nonsense.

“They’re all dead anyway, so it’s not like it matters.”

With his blatant declaration, Ebelasque looked at him with wide eyes.

She didn’t even think about denying his words.

She knew just how dangerous he was.

“…So why am I being treated specially?”

Ebelasque asked, fiddling with her hair, which still held a bit of Kraush’s warmth.

Kraush had persuaded her to leave Ixion, promising to keep her company until her eyes closed for good.

Those words kept circling in Ebelasque’s mind, making her squirm.

[It’s a crazy world.]

Then, the Crimson Garden let out a loud tongue-clicking noise.

With the White Skeleton Legion finally stopping, Ebelasque glanced at Haring and Sena climbing the mountain and realized something.

“Just think of it as a past life connection.”

“Wait, you believe in fate now?”

“I’m more of a skeptic. If we go by fate, this world will be doomed in no time.”

Kraush turned back to Ebelasque, urging her to stop with the terrible thoughts.

She jumped in surprise and turned her head away.

Kraush, confused by her reaction, suddenly heard a loud rumbling noise from beyond the mountain.

It was proof that the battle between Aliod and Lai was heating up.

That meant the power of World Erosion must have also become stronger.

They had to act quickly before the situation worsened.

“By the way, Ebelasque, you did come up with a way to enter the Blood Sky World, didn’t you?”

At that moment, Ebelasque froze.

Seeing her strange reaction, Kraush raised an eyebrow.

Ebelasque, looking panicked, stammered, “Well, I did set it up originally? But everything got obliterated from the inside…”

She seemed to ramble, sinking her head as if embarrassed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“It… it got erased…”

Kraush let out a frustrated sigh.

It wasn’t like she hadn’t prepared, but it was completely annihilated, so he had nothing to say.

“Guess we just have to punch through it.”

Kraush resolved himself with an air of determination.

He was used to situations never going smoothly.

The worst usually breeds more worsts.

As disappointing as it was, they just needed to use force and break through.

“…I’ll do it.”

Suddenly, Ebelasque spoke up with a responsible look.

“Do you think you can?”

She straightened her back, confidently raising her upper body against gravity.

“I’ll use my Third Style.”

Kraush, knowing what she meant by “Third Style,” nodded.

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.”

Preparations were complete.

Now it was time to smash that Aliod bastard.

—

Inside the Blood Sky World.

Below dozens of Lai’s Emperor’s Destruction Swords whirling around,

Aliod was charging while wielding his Blood Scythe, which had become one with his arm.

In his view, Lai, who was swinging his Swords with his arms crossed, appeared.

As if it was only natural for him to be the king here, he stood without moving an inch.

He looked incredibly arrogant, but that was the exact demeanor that suited him best.

He too was focused on wielding the Emperor’s Destruction Sword.

The moment he spotted Lai, the descending Emperor’s Destruction Sword sliced between Lai and Aliod.

“I can’t get close at all!”

Aliod frowned in frustration.

Despite that, his gaze darted rapidly.

Lai’s Emperor’s Destruction Sword definitely bore ridiculous power.

One mountain had nearly collapsed during their battle.

If it weren’t for the Blood Sky World, an avalanche would have swept through and laid utter waste below.

‘I guess he noticed my Blood Sky World and is fighting more actively.’

By unintentionally providing a battlefield where they could fight freely, he had inadvertently helped them.

However, this worked for Aliod too.

Even though the others didn’t know, the more they fought, the stronger the power of World Erosion grew outside.

The traits of World Eroders are not widely known, except for a few famous ones.

They moved in secrecy and were also strong enough that no matter how much they hid it, it wasn’t possible to conceal everything.

Moreover, after the incident with the Lagrain family, Aliod had hidden away immediately.

Naturally, that left him lacking in information.

‘The longer they fight, the better it is for me.’

At that moment, Aliod’s legs began to pump with blood.

‘I’m not one to just take a beating, am I?’

With blood rushing through his legs, Aliod jumped explosively.

Countless Emperor’s Destruction Swords began to rain down before him.

The moment an Emperor’s Destruction Sword was about to descend, he swung his Blood Scythe.

The energy bursting forth from his Blood Scythe redirected his body mid-air.

Aliod began to showcase enchanting maneuvers.

Evading all the raining Emperor’s Destruction Swords, he swiftly approached Lai.

Lai’s brow twitched as he watched Aliod get closer.

Aliod’s body, now a vibrant crimson, was doused with blood.

“Whoosh!”

As he exhaled, Aliod’s body swelled tremendously.

Bang!

Following a thunderous boom in the air, Aliod shot forward like a cannonball.

The sudden change in speed meant even Lai’s Emperor’s Destruction Sword was a beat late to catch him.

Taking advantage of that opening, Aliod imbued his Blood Scythe with a surge of crimson energy.

Swoosh!

With a twisting sound, Aliod felt the weight of blood gushing out from his body flood toward his Blood Scythe.

Yet even so, Aliod’s arm remained intact.

Instead, it tore through skin and muscle, leaving bones barely hanging.

Aliod’s red eyes widened.

Thanks to his enhanced Blood Scythe, he was more powerful than a World Erosive creature.

Naturally, he wouldn’t be injured from any run-of-the-mill assault, yet his arm was in this state.

Before him stood two figures.

A boy, with an expression as if he had swallowed something sour, positioned himself, powerfully swinging his sword covered in black flames, while behind him was a girl with short, mixed black and purple hair.

Their fluttering hair and clothing indicated that they had descended from above.

In that moment, the boy kicked off the ground.

With that, he bolted toward Aliod at a speed so explosive it momentarily distracted him.

He was quick.

And he was dangerous.

If he could strike at any time, this boy was the greatest threat here.

The aura he emitted was distinguishably that of a World Eroder.

Upon realizing that, Aliod’s killing intent surged.

He couldn’t figure out why Ebelasque suddenly betrayed him.

All his senses were now solely focused on this boy.

In fact, he even forgot about Lai momentarily.

Fwoosh!

The wrath and murderous intent pouring from Aliod slammed into Kraush’s face.

Kraush felt it even through his focus.

‘Just like always, he’s a monster.’

His hair stood on end, and the overwhelming pressure swirled around, shaking his vision.

His instincts warned him to run away from here, screaming at him to flee.

As expected, he was strong.

Even after activating Annihilation Erosion, he felt inadequate to face a World Eroder.

Yet he wasn’t alone.

Kraush’s goal at this moment was to draw Aliod’s attention entirely on himself.

Thanks to the threat Aliod felt from the state of his ripped arm, he had accomplished that goal.

Someone faster than Kraush had already closed in on Aliod from behind.

Soft, white wings fluttered.

Sena had activated her Hyper Speed.

This Sena could easily outpace even Kraush’s Thunder Prime in this state.

As she soared with the wings spread wide, the fabric swirling beneath her transformed into insidious needles aimed to pierce through Aliod.

Aliod realized too late what was happening.

After focusing all his attention on Kraush, he couldn’t react in time.

Thud, thud!

“Ugh!?”

Even in that moment, he barely twisted his body to dodge the fatal strike, but the fabric had pierced through his sides, creating multiple puncture wounds.

With his movement restrained, Kraush charged towards him.

His Rain Thunder Prime blazed crimson.

As seven celestial symbols adorned with darkness enveloped him, they released a burst of vibrant light.

When the blood-red moon rose above, Kraush’s mind surged with waves of black flames.

Annihilation Erosion.

Fifth Style!

Destruction of Heaven, Moon, and Fire!

Under the blood-red moon, the black flame storm swept through the shattered Blood Sky World.
