Chapter 623 Shifting Tide Of War
Azzen’s entire demeanor changes completely upon seeing the advancing King John. It was not the power behind the golden aura that froze him like this, but it was the scent coming from the golden aura instead.
Not one Supernaturals can forget the scent of their suppressor for thousands of years.
Despite they were sealed away by the ancient humans for thousands of years, the particular scent that they emitted is engraved inside their minds and wouldn’t be able to be forgotten even if they wanted to.
The impact of the ancient humans is that strong in these Supernaturals.
“H-How come you have their scent…? No, this is impossible, there shouldn’t be two of you”, Azzen mutter with a stutter, he even unconsciously takes a couple of stiff steps back, backing away from the advancing King John that doesn’t seem to be surprised by Azzen’s reaction.
Slowly King John’s eyes turn completely golden and so does his hair which is dyed the same color.
While the subtle changes and increasing power were undergoing within King John’s body, he smirks once again seeing Azzen slowly moving back, “Meeting you I realized that I’m stronger than ever, I’ve become worthy of this power. You know out of all the Supernatural races, demons are the ones I hated the most”
“You accursed crawlers hunted my sister with hellhounds…”, King John added and paused.
Upon saying that the smirk on his face suddenly fades away almost instantly, and his expression turns stern and sharp. What he said was something that Azzen was not excepting for him to say, turns out King John also has a vendetta against the Supernatural, the Demons to be exact.
But despite saying that, his eyes are crystal clear without any hint of revenge.
Maybe there’s still the anger, but it was not raging, it’s calm just like a steady sea.
After looking at Azzen for an uncomfortable amount of time, King John then points his index finger at Azzen before he flicks it playfully, “For once in my life, I can proudly say to a Demon that this is not personal. What I’m about to do to you is not personal at all…”
Just as he said that the golden aura sparkled before it exploded with power.
Small golden balls of energy the size of snowflakes started bursting out of King John’s body and head up into the sky, it was his entire aura made of but then suddenly these small golden balls merged together and create a halo above King John’s head.
It’s a golden halo shaped like a crown, he was like royalty from heaven.
Upon the appearance of the golden crown, his entire aura becomes even stronger and the hellish ground around him started to be engulfed in golden light, and it was potent enough that it lessened the demonic energy around him greatly.
With his transformation finished, King John slowly raises his gaze before he suddenly disappeared.
Clang!
Azzen reacted swiftly enough and block a raw punch sent by King John with his black saber. Under the might, he was pushed back despite his feet planted strongly on the feet. But as he got pushed back, his eyes widened seeing the black spear makes a cracking sound.
Just from one hit! It surprised Azzen as he was not expecting the punch to be this powerful.
King John immediately followed his punch with a knee from below aiming for Azzen’s black spear, his knee was humongous and it was powerful enough that it managed to snap the black spear into two, leaving Azzen defenseless.
Fragment of demonic energy that the black spear made of splashes to the surrounding.
Realizing that a fight will happen regardless of what he was going to do right now, Azzen’s eyes flashed with demonic energy before he chanted, “Vulzavith Demonic Spell, Minor Abaddon Entrapment!”
Swoosh!
Immediately after that, the blue lava exploded from the ground and headed to King John.
Wrapping itself over King John’s entire body, the blue lava imbued with a ridiculous amount of demonic energy trapped King John inside a cocoon which sucks the demonic energy in the entire place endlessly.
As more demonic energy is gathered, the stronger the cocoon becomes.
But Azzen’s confidence in the cocoon was shattered when a thick arm burst through the cocoon, landed a hit right on his abdomen, and planted him to the ground. Even with that amount of demonic energy, King John managed to get out.
Not stopping at that, King John also attacked Azzen in the process.
Crack!
Kaboom!
Azzen widened his eyes as the black charcoal armor on his abdomen cracked under that punch, he was caught in surprise by King John breaking the cocoon rather easily. Splashes of golden energy expanded to the surrounding, reaching for miles away.
It was at the same time as the other SCO messengers made their move against the Supernatural.
With their respective abilities, they started to run havoc against the remaining Supernatural army that still numbered in the thousands. Each one of them is not Awakened, and their ability was very bizarre for Adhara and Gistella.
One can turn into a wraith and go through Supernatural, sucking the lives out of them.
Another can decay a Supernatural from a touch that was terrifying to see, another can cause disturbance in the mind, and other abilities which can’t be explained just from seeing them fight. But using their ability, they can take on many Supernaturals at once.
Despite being unwilling to receive any help, they can use it right now.
Clenching their jaws seeing that the Werewolves and Incubus are attacking them again, Adhara and Gistella were about to charge forward not wanting to lose out to the SCO messengers but then out of nowhere, their eyes saw a shadow blitz past them quickly.
Blinking their eyes once, they then realized that a figure is standing in front of them.
It took both of them a second to realize that this figure is yet another Werewolf, they were about to attack the Werewolf but the Werewolf glanced over his shoulder. For a second Adhara and Gistella paused before they recognized the scent, it was Kyran!
Since he’s here right now, it means that Kyran has finished his evolution process.
Realizing that Adhara inspected his Werewolf form from the back and realized a couple of changes, some are very different while some are subtle. One of the major changes was Kyran’s furs which now turned dark blue, and the other one was his eyes.
Gistella and Adhara recognize this one instantly, Kyran has four eyes not instead of two.
Four slit haunting dark blue eyes that are very bizarre to see, there’s not a Werewolf that has undergone this much mutation from an evolution. As of a minute earlier, the most bizarre mutation should be Rex’s Royal Black Werewolf bloodline.
Rex has two horns sticking out of his head and his body is straight not hunchback like normal.
But now the title of the most bizarre mutation has been taken away by Kyran who now has four eyes, it’s not clear if even Kyran noticed now that he has four eyes instead of two. Something this bizarre even surprises the Werewolves that are fighting them right now.
Roar!
Snapping out of their dazes, the Werewolves and Incubus continued their attacks.
Upon realizing that the Werewolves and Incubus are already near, Kyran looks back to his front.
Twelve combinations of Werewolves and Incubus can be seen jumping at him with their fierce eyes that were filled with bloodlust, but Kyran suddenly puts both of his arms crossing his body as if he was hugging himself in response.
It confuses Adhara and Gistella watching from the back, but then suddenly.
Swish!
STAB!
Kyran’s body burst with dark blue icicles that almost made him look like an Ice Elementalist, but these dark blue icicles don’t emit coldness as ice would. It emits scorching heat which should not be possible even with mana.
Exactly twelve icicles burst from his body and impaled the incoming Supernaturals.
All of the Supernaturals that are impaled through their vital spots were instantly killed, but the ones that suffer on a safer part were still breathing and even struggling to break free. But Kyran’s four eyes glisten as a wave of energy streaming into the dark blue icicles.
When the energy reaches the tip of the icicles inside the Supernatural’s body, something happened.
The moment the wave of energy reaches the tip, the surviving Supernaturals suddenly stopped struggling and even stopped breathing. Only their eyes made a move, their eyelids widened out of pure shock.
In the next second, their bodies instantly turn to blue ash.
Not only the ones that survived but the dead also turn to ash as they fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this Adhara and Gistella sucked in a cold breath finding that Kyran’s evolution was very weird, and Adhara can’t help but asked from the back, “What kind of Werewolf did you choose? It’s too unsettling…”
“Glacial Umbra Werewolf, Rex has approved it”, Kyran replied with a smirk.
While looking at the army of Supernatural that is charging at them once again, Adhara and Gistella step forward and stand beside Kyran. Now that they got help and Kyran finished evolving, the battle would look way better than before.
Exposing his excited grin, Kyran then said, “Now that I evolved, I won’t lose out anymore”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself Kyran, your kill count is way behind us. While you are busy evolving, we’re killing Supernaturals left and right you know”, Adhara added with a slight chuckle, the situation has gotten way better now.
Gistella also nodded her head from the side, “Try to keep up, Kyran…”
Just as she said that the three of them quickly dash into the sea of Supernaturals to join back into the fight. With Azzen being occupied by King John, nothing can stop them from slaughtering these Supernaturals for blocking their way and trying to kill Rex.
It went on just as expected, the tide of the war has been shifted once again.𝒪𝐕𝒍xt.𝗇𝓔t
Werewolves and Incubus are being dealt with by a couple of SCO messengers alongside Adhara and Gistella, while the Red Demons are also dealt with by Flunra, Kyran, and the SCO messengers. Similar to a coin flip, the fight now sides with Rex’s side.
Not only did the small fries realize the tide of war is changing, but the bigshots also realized it.
Azzen was the one stressed out the most as he tries to defend himself against King John that has become the true peak of physical strength able to achieve. In terms of raw physical strength, King John tramples over Azzen easily.
On top of that, the pressure from the invisible barrier threatening to shatter was increasing.
The only reason why Azzen didn’t forcefully suppress Adhara and Gistella earlier was the fact that the barrier might shatter if he use more power, but now the golden aura coming from King John puts an incredible amount of pressure on the barrier.
If this goes on then the invisible barrier would definitely shatter, and that’s the worst scenario.
Each of the ninth-rank realm Supernaturals here knows that if the invisible barrier shatters then the fight they engaged in right here and right now would become useless, and they’d lost many of their people for no reason at all.
Which is why they can’t allow this to happen, but it’s very hard to fix the situation.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Rex realized the unfamiliar aura nearing the others. Stealing a glance in their direction he finds that King John and the SCO messengers are helping them, but this doesn’t make him happy at all.
Rex doesn’t want anything to do with the humans anymore, not even a little bit.
But if King John and the SCO messengers are helping him right now then he would owe them, and that’s the last thing Rex wanted when today was supposed to be the day he left humanity for good and follow a different kind of path.
Since he was occupied by his thoughts, King Baralt and Queen Catsha make their move.
Swoosh!
Queen Catsha controls her tail and stabs Rex from the back which snapped his attention back to the fight. But before he can do anything, she also whipped her whip as it wrapped around Rex’s body and restrain him.
Upon being stabbed by Queen Catsha’s tail, Rex can feel something injected into him.
<The user has been induced with an insurmountable amount of despair, sanity stat and mental stat have been decreased greatly. As a side-effect, the user would also experience a slight loss in the will to fight>
Rex feels a bit overwhelmed by the despair creeping inside his heart.
But it didn’t take long before he got hit by a powerful slash from King Baralt sending him spinning in the sky due to the energy wave from King Baralt’s claws, it send him across the sky while spatting a mouthful of blood repeatedly.
While Rex was being sent away, King Baralt and Queen Catsha look up.
“Queen Catsha, help King Lax’rad and King Solomon sustain the barrier!”, King Baralt shouted in a hurry, the invisible barrier above them is already blinking rapidly due to the constant pressure from their auras and also King John’s aura from below.
Upon hearing this, Queen Catsha shakes her head, “No, we need to kill the Prince quickly!”
“One powerful attack and we’ll win, then we can retreat back. If push comes to shove, I’ll separate my soul and help King Lax’rad and King Solomon sustain the barrier”, she added determinedly, her eyes already glowing with pink energy murderously.
Deciding to stick with the plan, both of them then nodded their heads.
“Let’s end this with one final attack…”
