Novel Full Chapter 138 Battle Of The Lowest (8)
“As the wielder of the seventh flame, I release the seal on my body and let it consume a part of my soul… [Soul Link: Asmodeus the Demon of Judgement],”
…
(Orion POV)
My heart fluttered each time I swung this spear as if I had already fallen in love with the battlefield, and its warm embrace of blood was cuddling me.
I had never felt happier, more euphoric, or even alive than at this current moment… it was as if my entire being was built for the sole purpose of taking part in this hellscape.
Each swing tore through hundreds of soldiers, racking up an unbelievable amount of XP, while my comrades were also smiling viciously, intoxicated by the feeling of growing stronger and stronger with each of their swings.
Before, they could only swing their weapons to improve their body and skill, but now, it has a faster and more tangible effect.
The system was indeed a blessing to have.
But, my rampage soon stopped as the commander who led the men at the front arrived in front of me, his horse so tall and muscular that it made Arthur look like an Ant.
The man sitting atop it had short gray hair, matte-blue eyes, and a body that rivaled the thing below it.
He was wearing a beautiful and shiny set of armor that rivaled the armor of kings who led their men into battle.
“Nice gear,” I smirked before increasing my speed and dashing straight into the commander… who managed to block my swing.
“Just cause you killed the small fry doesn’t mean you can trample over me,” He muttered before swinging back with a gigantic greatsword, and for the first time since stepping on this battlefield, I jumped back in order to avoid his swing.
He’s about a high B-tier or even low A-tier… but right now, it might just be the adrenaline, but I feel much stronger and faster than what my status says.
[HP: 32/50 MP: 12/25 SP: 21/35] – Normal Human
It had only been a few minutes, but everything had drained this far… meaning my body couldn’t handle the amount of power surging through me right now.
“Tch… Disappointing,” I muttered before calming my racing heart down a bit which also tamed part of my emitting bloodlust.
This part was draining tons of mana, and even though it’s helping to keep some of the small fries at bay, I really don’t need it.
It’s not that necessary, to be honest.
“Oh, getting scared?” The man sitting atop his giant horse taunted me, but I just ignored his words as we slowly moved in a vortex.
The surrounding soldiers were way too scared to do anything, so they focused most of their attention and manpower on my friends, who were starting to slow down.
“Your friends are going to die if this keeps up,”
He tried to taunt me again as the horse kicked up its front legs and stomped onto the ground, creating a blood-red aura to form a crust of red armor around the both of them.
The man’s greatsword was then slowly compressed by this red crust into a bloody red scythe which seemingly controlled all the blood around him.
“That’s fucking overpowered,” I muttered with a weary smile.
Horsey over there kicked up its legs again before then charging towards me, drops of blood swirling around him like a protective vortex of human oil.
As I had no choice but to counter, I took a deeper stance before waiting for the swing… and then deflecting it.
My spear almost reached the horse’s neck, but the vortex of bloodshot in my direction, sending me flying back with hundreds of light cuts.
Each cut was enough to draw a tiny amount of blood.
“Sorry, kid, but it’s already over for you,” The man said before stretching his scythe towards me and flicking it up like a finger.
Suddenly, my body was suspended in mid-air, and I had absolutely zero control over my body while I just helplessly floated in the area.
In fact, I couldn’t even breathe, which made the situation even more dire.
ZZZZZ… BOOOOOM
All of a sudden, as if Zeus himself had attempted to help me out, a flaming bolt of green lightning shot from the sky and landed directly on the commander.
Even he didn’t realize what had happened as it just appeared out of nowhere.
As soon as I dropped to the ground, I took a quick glance around while charging straight towards the horse… but they regained control.
Ah… is that Bella over there?
In the distance, I saw Bella had four arms, two demonic-looking green horns, and a presence that seemingly devoured the soldiers around her.
Her fire had turned into a bright green with a tinge of dark green mixed in the middle.
These flames devoured anything in its path, and when I say everything, I mean everything… including magic.
“What the fuck-“
“What’d you lose your mind to?” A deep voice asked before the tip of a scythe almost went straight through my face and out the back of my head.
ZZZZZ… BOOOOOOOM
“ARGHHHHHHH!”
The man cried out with anger as another flaming bolt of green lightning struck him, and now that he was completely paralyzed, I charged up almost all the strength I could put into one swing…
A dark red aura coated my spear, the handle bent with the amount of force, and I felt a searing pain below my left eye.
My mind felt like it was about to split, and my hands and arms were spilling gallons of blood…
Then, even as the man regained control over his body, he didn’t have enough time to redirect the swing, so he was forced to try and block it…
VWOOM… SHING
I vertically cut the horse… and man in half.
He didn’t even realize he died as he held both sides of his splitting body, trying to identify where the wound was.
And then, both sides of the man and horse fell in opposite directions.
“CY! COME HERE!” I shouted as basically all my mana had been depleted, and I lost way too much blood.
