Chapter 267 Zakiel.
“Kuku, it’s funny for someone to say such things about me. Me, to run out of energy? In short, I forgot another crucial detail…” while pronouncing these words in a monotonous tone; he raised his palm to the sky with bright and bloodthirsty eyes
“… I never said you had the luxury of refusing my proposal.” He continued coldly.
“Urgh! W-Wait, I just wanted to test you to see if you were telling the truth by saying that you could break this dome. Now that you have proven to me that you are capable of it, there is no need to go further. We can cooperate together to get out of here. You asked me if I worked for someone or not, didn’t you? The truth is that…
“I don’t care about your justifications! Hah-Hahah~ you still don’t think I’m going to be fooled by such an idiotic strategy? I will never give you time to regenerate. But I’m still curious about a little detail; how does it feel to know that you are now nothing more than prey from the beginning?”
-!
“You, vicious bastard! Do you think you can kill me with your insignificant powers?! I’m going to kill you!” The beast growled with rage, and his body gradually grew following the appearance of a lightning halo that completely enveloped him.
-GRRAAAGH!!!
Barely a thousandth of a second, Alvine heard a thunderous growl coming from the thunder halo.
‘Sigh, unfortunately for you, if you had not underestimated me and confronted me in your humanoid form, I would not have been able to cause you so much damage. But even if you are now in your draconic form, it will not heal your wounds; it only accelerated your regeneration a little.’
As he pronounces these words for himself, the black lightning halo breaks into pieces, showing the body of a giant black dragon more than fifty meters long, with two long demonic black horns, and a long scaly tail of more than fifty meters with long stitches. Finally, all his skin was covered with leathery black scale plates!
“Indeed, if you had fought me in this form, I would have more problems than now,” Alvine murmured as he looked straight into the bestial garnet pupils with a mocking smile.
‘At first, I counted on using my high-level universal law to end this beast as much as possible. But in my current state, if I become reckless, my body would suffer unprecedented consequences with my cultivation, which is not yet stabilized. Sigh, not that I underestimate this creature’s power, but an intermediate universal law will be more than enough to end him off. At least, as long as I don’t give him time to regenerate.’
With this conclusion, while remaining in his shield, he raised his hand to the sky with a sinister smile.
[Universal Law, intermediate level: the gluttony realm!]
-GRUOCK-GRUUUGH!!!
Following his will, instead of a small black pearl, an orb slowly formed above his palm and out of his shadow shield.
The orb was not black, but it was cramoisy red like a blood sphere, and the inside of the latter was black swirling that began to apply its large aspiration field, instantly swallowing all the battlefield debris.
But just like the orb, the field of attraction of the sphere was no less weak than that of the orb, but even better, unlike the others, Alvine could direct the aspiration field and condense it to a fixed place, making it even more powerful!
[breath of sealing lightning!]
-Gruuuughg-ghhhh
Seeing the threat of the garnet sphere, the demonic dragon took the opportunity and grumbled with indignity, spitting hundreds of thick obstructions chains made only of lightning to seal the powers of the sphere.
‘Interesting, I would never have thought that a sealing power of this level could exist.’ Murmured Alvine while watching the chains of lightning interrupt the power of his magic after enveloping it
‘But it’s the most stupid idea of the century.’
At the same time, the red sphere trembled fiercely and instantly broke the chains of hindrance and then absorbed them without difficulty.
[!]
The agitated expression of the beast turned into horror.
[Lighting of destruction!]
He grumbled in a horrified tone and cast this skill not toward the orb but toward the dome that was his new target.
-Bang!
At the same time, red lightning rushed toward the dome and fiercely banged against it, leaving Alvine in a state of contemplation.
While resisting the suction force, the dragon released a large amount of magical energy and flew through the sky and then clawed the place of the dome he had just attacked with his annihilation lightning.
-Roarrr!
But as soon as his claws touched the dome, an electric shock attacked him fiercely to the point that he temporarily lost control of his wings, causing him to fall to the ground.
‘It seems that being panicked has limited his brain function.’ Alvine whispered to himself as he watched the dragon’s actions while frowning.
Behind the dome, Linn had empty eyes when she saw the dragon trying to escape into Alvine’s hands.
-Just, what is this red orb?- She murmured to herself without even realizing it.
[Tsk, I guess it won’t be as easy to kill such an error of nature. Sigh, this battle becomes more and more ridiculous.] the shadow next to her spoke in a bitter tone when he also saw Alvine overturn the situation.
‘Fortunately, he is not yet powerful enough. I must gather the other guards to take care of his case before he regains his power. He is already a threat close to the maximum level; if I give him a thousand more years, I’m afraid this world will be ruined after that.’ He continued in his thoughts as his dozens of eyes became more threatening green, filled with an unlimited murderous intention.
“!” Noticing the change in the surrounding aura streams, Luna looked at the shadow next to her with rabid eyes.
“Even if I could not help him against this mana beast, your case would be different if you tried anything against him. And I don’t care if you are one of the ranks of our goddess!” She spoke these words coldly to her attention.
[Kekekh, Ah~ LINNAELLA, even after seeing all of that, you continue to defend him?]
Even if he seemed to speak calmly, his smile was not that of a joyful person but rather the other way around.
“No matter your reasons, as long as it is not a direct revelation of the goddess, I would not allow you to act as you see fit in our world freely. Think carefully about your actions; acting directly against him; it’s like making me, no, all the Punishers, your enemy. If you can take such responsibilities, then do as you wish. You wouldn’t be there anymore if Sabrina were here anyway.”
[What does this have to do with this little girl?]
“Fufu~, so you didn’t know anything, huh? This Sadist will not even hesitate for a second to kill a member of the Punishers if he targets this man as his enemy. So I doubt that she treats you differently, especially since she already hates you all three. Now that I think about it, I wonder how she will react if she realizes you came here when you don’t have permission.”
[Humph, you are all as weak as you are. No matter your number, you will stay…
“Have you forgotten the power of authority held by the leaders of the Punishers and Leaders?” Linn replied before the monarch of corruption finished his words.
[…]
“Yeah, it is wiser for you not to be reckless because you will never be great against the authority of the goddess. So…
-Roarrrr!
She was suddenly interrupted when she heard the dragon roaring through the dome crack. Until now, the dome that prevented them from hearing or feeling the magnetic force of Alvine’s orb began to crack slowly after two minutes and thirty seconds under the force of attraction of the orb!
-Kueuh!
‘The energy that emanates from this dragon is more powerful than expected. If the situation continues, I am not sure I can maintain my protective barrier. It’s been about four minutes since I activated it. But the will to live off this beast is not a joke. The worst thing about all this is that as my body is full of incredible energy, I could not be sure to continue to absorb more energy through my law.’ Unlike his mocking smile, he had more trouble than he seemed.
As for the black dragon, he always struggled without giving up with his sharp claws to the ground so as not to be sucked by Alvine’s aberration spell.
‘Tsk, even if I didn’t want to disturb them, I really have no other option; if I miss this blow, I wouldn’t have a chance of surviving!’ Seeing his situation becoming increasingly problematic, he had no choice but to call for reinforcements to help him defeat the enemy opposite.
‘Those who have completed their evolutions, Get out!’ He thundered in his mind.
Then, As he did not know which of his shadow soldiers had completed his evolution, he changed his orders for the first time, trying to invoke only those who had completed their evolutions.
“…”
But despite his orders, no one manifested himself in his shadow.
‘Sigh, I guess none of them have yet completed its evolution. Oh shit, the situation couldn’t be worse than that! If the dome breaks, this bastard will definitely run away. I refuse to suffer such a loss by letting such a dangerous enemy go! What to do?!’
While he was in his thoughts, his body and veins suddenly froze following the feeling of an imminent danger that was like a reaper standing behind him!
“! What is it?!”! He hurriedly looked around him with his perception increased to the maximum!
But whatever his efforts, he could not know either the origin of the danger or the exact place!𝑂𝑣𝑙xt.𝑐𝚘𝓂
But whatever his thoughts, he could not say whether or not it was an illusion since the aura of death was all around him.
*Please excuse me for my delay, my lord; I did it as fast as possible after completing my evolution. *
Suddenly, Alvine heard this unknown tone that resounded to the depths of his soul, waving the latter giving him the impression of hearing the voice of a demon that went straight into the depths of hell.
*Who…!
He swallows his words after crossing the threatening green pupils of the infamous shadow kneeling behind him in his shield.
At a glance, Alvine instantly noticed that the being who had just appeared behind him with a form of aura that he had never felt before had no physical shape. But seeing the giant scythe and chains ignited by géhenne flames and a strange blue flame, he nervously gulped even though he knew that the lifeless aura did not target him.
‘Is it supposed to evolve in this way? More importantly, I know that I was the one who asked him to evolve in this direction, but it’s still strange to the point that I can feel uncomfortable in front of him!’ He said in his thoughts, instinctively forgetting the dragon in front of him.
At the same time, his shadow shield broke after this slight moment of loss of concentration.
GRAAAG!!!
Seeing Alvine defenseless, the black dragon no longer tried to flee. Instead, he used the little strength he had left and rushed to Alvine with his claws and his mouth wide open.
But after being ten meters from Alvine, he stopped in his race when he crossed the green eyes of the scythe soldier still waiting for orders from his lord.
“My lord, if you allow me, I would like to collect the soul of this creature to test my scythe’s blade.” Seeing Alvine in his thoughts, the unpleasant and desolate tone of Scythe’s soldier resounded once again.
“… Um, do as you wish. But don’t damage his soul; I have other plans for Him. In any case, this dragon pretended to have lost his head until now by trying to flee pitifully. But he did not hesitate to want to attack me once again as soon as my shield broke.” Alvine ordered in an absent tone while looking at the giant dragon and the shapeless shadow in front of him.
