Chapter 598: 598:The Curtains Draw Near
The heavens themselves seemed to split apart briefly while enormous cracks spread through the clouds.
BOOOOOOM!
A terrifying shockwave descended from above and crushed an entire mountain range into rubble instantly.
The battlefield below completely descended into panic.
"Retreat!"
"Get down!"
"Protect the wounded!"
Soldiers from both sides desperately tried to stabilize themselves while many weaker fighters directly fainted from the pressure spreading across the world.
Several Beastmen screamed in fear while covering their heads.
Even Demons who usually showed no fear now looked shaken.
The commanders could barely breathe properly.
Far above the battlefield, gigantic arcs of energy continuously exploded across the sky while distorted ripples spread endlessly through space itself.
At one moment, the silhouette carrying the giant sword swung downward.
SWOOOOOSH!
A black slash large enough to split the heavens descended from the sky, and the attack cut through clouds, mountains, forests, and rivers all at once while leaving behind a gigantic scar across the land that stretched beyond sight.
Before the soldiers could even react—
Another bright golden light erupted upward.
BANGGG!
The black slash shattered apart instantly while countless fragments of energy rained down from the heavens like falling stars.
Every fragment that touched the ground caused another explosion.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The entire battlefield looked completely unstable.
It no longer resembled a war between armies.
It looked like gods were fighting above the mortal world.
The commander standing outside the tent slowly clenched his fists while staring upward in disbelief.
His armor rattled from the shockwaves.
Cold sweat continuously dripped down his forehead.
"This..." he muttered hoarsely.
"This is impossible..."
Even Divine Knights were insignificant before this kind of battle.
No...
This was already beyond mortal understanding.
Far away within the Imperial Capital, Ethan also looked toward the distant skies while his face turned pale.
Even from this far away, the shockwaves continued reaching the capital causing windows to crack and buildings to tremble slightly.
BOOOOOOM!
The heavens split apart once again as the two gigantic blurry figures clashed violently above the world, and the impact alone sent terrifying shockwaves endlessly across the skies.
Entire clouds vanished instantly.The atmosphere twisted heavily.
Below them, the land continued collapsing apart while mountains shattered one after another beneath the pressure of their battle.
One figure radiated a brilliant golden light that illuminated half the world while the other carried a gigantic greatsword overflowing with terrifying dark energy, and every swing of that blade looked capable of splitting continents apart.
BANGGG!
Another collision erupted.
The giant sword descended from above while tearing through space itself, and a massive black crack spread across the sky as if reality itself had been sliced apart.
The golden figure immediately raised its arm.
BOOOOM!
Golden light exploded outward violently while the incoming slash shattered into thousands of fragments, and each fragment that fell upon the earth caused gigantic explosions below.
Rivers evaporated instantly.
Forests burned into ash.
Huge mountain peaks exploded apart like fragile rocks.
The battlefield beneath them had completely stopped fighting.
No one dared move anymore.
Humans.
Demons.
Orcs.
Beastmen.
Everyone simply stared upward in horror while watching the godlike battle unfolding above them.
SWOOOOSH!
The golden blurry figure suddenly moved.
Its speed exceeded comprehension.
For a brief moment, it vanished completely before reappearing behind the sword wielder, and a gigantic pillar of light descended from the heavens directly onto the dark figure.
BOOOOOOM!
The world trembled violently.
A massive mushroom cloud erupted high in the skies while golden flames spread across the atmosphere like a second sun.
The terrifying heat alone caused distant forests to ignite instantly.
But before anyone could even react...
The dark figure stepped out from the explosion completely unharmed.
Its gigantic greatsword slowly lifted upward.
Then—
SLASH!
A terrifying black wave erupted across the heavens while cutting apart the golden flames instantly, and the attack continued traveling endlessly across the skies until even distant stars seemed to dim briefly.
The golden figure immediately raised both hands.
Massive glowing chains erupted from space itself and wrapped around the dark silhouette from every direction.
The heavens shook again.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The dark figure roared silently while dragging the chains apart through sheer force, and the giant sword smashed downward once more.
The battlefield below completely collapsed.
Several mountains sank into the earth.
Gigantic cracks spread across the ground endlessly.Even the oceans far away erupted violently while gigantic tidal waves rose toward the coasts.
The world itself seemed unable to withstand their battle anymore.
Amidst the endless destruction...
A strange sound suddenly appeared.
The sound of a flute.
A calm and eerie melody slowly spread across the heavens.
The battlefield froze.
Even the terrifying shockwaves seemed to slow slightly.
The flute melody continued flowing softly through the skies while carrying a strange peacefulness that sharply contrasted the destruction around it.
Everyone looked around in confusion.
Some soldiers even thought they were hallucinating.
But the melody continued.
Soft.
Calm.
Beautiful.
The golden blurry figure suddenly paused.
Its body stiffened slightly.
The giant silhouette stopped moving completely for a brief moment as if something had disrupted its thoughts.
At that exact instant—
The figure carrying the greatsword moved.
SWOOOOOSH!
The gigantic blade pierced forward instantly.
BANGGG!
The sword tore directly through the golden figure’s chest.
Everything became silent for one brief moment.
The heavens froze.
The golden blurry figure stiffened while the massive sword remained buried through its body, and cracks of golden light slowly spread across the giant silhouette.
The battlefield below fell into complete silence.
No one even dared breathe loudly.
The wounded figure slowly turned its head.
Far away above the clouds stood another blurry figure holding a flute calmly.
A soft melody still echoed from the instrument.
The wounded figure stared silently for a brief moment before its lips moved slightly.
"Za..."
The flute player slowly lowered the instrument.
Then a quiet voice echoed across the heavens.
"Sorry, Pentios... You can go down now."
His tone sounded calm.
Almost gentle.
"You have created enough panic... Time to retire."
The flute player then slowly turned his gaze toward the other side where the giant swordsman stood silently amidst the shattered heavens.
For a few brief moments...
None of them moved.Then the flute player spoke once more.
"Remember the promise."
The giant figure holding the greatsword remained silent briefly before finally nodding slowly.
"I will..."
