Chapter 938: There Can Only Be One King Of The Sea [Part 4]
The ground under King Oceanus’ feet shattered as he blocked Ethan’s strike from above. ‘Why is this kid so strong?!’ King Oceanus gritted his teeth in frustration, noticing that the blow he just received was no weaker than the full-powered attacks that he unleashed.
Ethan made sure to only use the power of Absolute Authority whenever he attacked because he wanted to make King Oceanus think that he was as strong as him.
If the young man had used any weaker spells or attacks against the Colossi of the Sea, King Oceanus, the latter would probably figure out that the young man wasn’t as strong as he was portraying himself to be, shattering Ethan’s invincible image in his mind.
Mimir’s Wisdom had taught Ethan that intimidation could lower the fighting prowess of his enemies, making them more wary to take the initiative to attack.
As long as Ethan served as a threat that could attack the Colossi anytime, King Oceanus would have no choice but to spare a bit of attention to him, preventing him from giving his full attention to Sebastian, Ethan’s Other Half, and Dainsleif.
While the two “Kings” were stuck in a deadlock, Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half took this opportunity to attack King Oceanus in his blindspots.
Left with no choice, King Oceanus once again unleashed his strength, pushing Ethan back just in time to block the attack from the two annoying bastards who weren’t fighting him fairly.
Dainsleif, who saw that an opportunity had arrived, lunged at the Colossi’s back for a sneak attack.
However, just when the Ancient Wendigo was about to deliver his blow, he noticed something golden jump out of the flowers behind King Oceanus’s back, making Dainsleif hesitate for a brief moment.
That moment of hesitation was enough for King Oceanus to push back the Hydra and the annoying human who was using sorcery against him.
Left with no choice, Dainsleif raised his hands to block the backhand blow that King Oceanus unleashed in his direction.
A resounding clap spread in the surroundings as Dainsleif was sent flying.
However, even though it suffered injuries, the Ancient Wendigo didn’t cry out in pain.
It clenched his lips tightly as his gaze followed the golden egg, which had already latched onto the Colossi’s back.
When King Oceanus was forcefully brought inside the Twilight Domain, he immediately realized that his strength was leaving his body.
Because of this, he wished to end the battle as quickly as possible in order to preserve his stamina.
But Ethan wasn’t engaging him in direct combat.
The young man knew that time was on his side, so the longer the battle continued, the weaker King Oceanus would be.
However, for some reason, the drain on his life force seemed to have doubled after he had dealt with the Ancient Wendigo.
‘I knew it!’ King Oceanus’ expression became grim. “The longer I stay in this place, the faster I lose my strength! I need to finish this soon!’
Little did the Colossi know that a Golden Egg was happily eating away his life force, using the absorption of the Twilight Domain as cover for its activity.
Ethan, who also saw the Golden Egg attach itself to the Colossi’s back, couldn’t help but laugh internally because he didn’t know that the opportunistic and mischievous egg had snuck out of Morrigan’s ring.
Still, since he and the Golden Egg were on the same side, he didn’t say anything and even communicated with the others to form a plan to effectively neutralize King Oceanus.
Dainsleif pressed his palms together and focused the power of Gravity to stop the Colossi’s movements.
Ethan’s Other Half continued to target King Oceanus’ nether regions, almost making the arrogant Colossi cough out blood out of sheer fury.
Sebastian, on the other hand, fought King Oceanus in close combat, which caused him to suffer the most out of three due to how powerful the Colossi’s physical attacks were.
As for Ethan, he simply hovered in the sky.
He no longer had any plans of attacking because he knew that King Oceanus was only waiting for an opportunity to deal him a killing blow.
As long as Ethan was dealt with, he would be free from the Twilight Domain.
But as the minutes passed, the young man still refused to engage King Oceanus in combat, making the Colossi feel frustrated.
“Fight me if you’re a man!” King Oceanus shouted. “Do you only plan to hide behind your subordinates?! What kind of warrior are you?!”
The Colossi understood that Ethan was only buying time until he could no longer fight. Because of this, he did his best to taunt the young man, who was looking down on him from the sky.
“Fight me, you coward!”
“Come here, Tide Bringer spawn!”
“Your father and your grandparents are all Sea Slugs! If you have guts, then fight me!”
“Hey! Aren’t you going to fight?!”
“C-Can we discuss this like civilized people?!”
“I changed my mind. I will no longer attack the Saphirus Kingdom. Let’s let bygones be
bygones, shall we?”
“Stop! Please stop!”
“Damn you! Stop hitting my balls, dammit!”
“Hey! This is all a misunderstanding! Let’s talk things out!”
“We can all come to a compromise! Communication is the key!”
“Stop! Just stop!”
“I surrender! Let’s all stop fighting!”
“I don’t want to fight anymore!”
“I concede!”
“I… surrender!”
King Oceanus was no longer the aloof and arrogant King of the Sea.
His superhuman strength had long disappeared, and his body had also shrunk back to its
original size.
Red blood flowed down from the wounds that had been inflicted on his body, making him look like a pitiful sight.
After a few more minutes, his legs collapsed underneath him, making him fall on the ground
face first.
Sebastian grabbed the Trident from the Colossi’s hand with his jaws and tossed it toward
Ethan.
The young man caught the Golden Trident with his free hand. But to his surprise, the Trident
tried to escape from his grip, not recognizing him as its Master.
Ethan sneered as he used his Absolute Authority over the Trident.
His eyes glowed with power, making the Trident that was struggling in his hand to stop
moving.
He had erased King Oceanus’ Authority over it, and used a drop of his own blood to bind it to
him.
The moment Ethan succeeded in making the Trident submit to him completely, it transformed into a golden light which merged with the Sea God’s Trident.
The young man hadn’t expected this kind of development, and even Sebastian, who had made the Sea God’s Trident his new home, was surprised with this turn of events. However, before he could even say anything, the Guardian of Zentris felt that he had become
stronger than ever.
Even Ethan felt his strength double as he gripped the handle of his weapon firmly.
‘Don’t lower your guard, Ethan,’ the Golden Egg that was still sucking the Colossi’s life force
warned. ‘This guy might be planning to bring you down with him as a last resort. So, let me suck him dry until he could no longer lift a finger.’
Ethan nodded and ordered Sebastian, his Other Half, and Dainsleif to not lower their guard.
Any animal would bite back if it was cornered, so the best thing to do now was wait until King Oceanus could no longer threaten him.
Half an hour later, the Golden Egg burped and jumped off the body of the Colossi whom it had drained completely dry.
Ethan used his foot to flip over the Colossi who had threatened his lover, and looked at his
face that was now as white as paper.
“You won,” King Oceanus said weakly.
“I did,” Ethan replied.
“Are you going to kill me?” King Oceanus asked.
“I won’t kill you… just yet anyway,” Ethan replied as he placed his hand on the Colossi’s chest.
After hearing his reply, King Oceanus felt relief. However, the next second, his face twisted in horror because he could feel something very important to him being pulled from his body. “Y-You can’t do this!” King Oceanus said through gritted teeth. “Just kill me! Just kill
meeee!”
Ethan ignored the Colossi as he focused on the task that he was performing.
A minute later, Ethan held an orb of golden light on his hand, which made King Oceanus look
at him with bloodshot eyes.
“Give it back!” King Oceanus shouted. “Give it back to me!”
“No,” Ethan replied. “This is the price you pay for trying to destroy Illumina’s Kingdom.”
Ethan was a kind hearted person in the past, but he learned his lessons in the lands of Alastor.
Being kind was good.
But… Being too kind was bad.
He had no intention of being kind to his enemies who might once again endanger the people
whom he wished to protect.
Because of this, he knew that King Oceanus must be dealt with thoroughly so that there would be no hidden dangers in the sea when he wasn’t around.
In his hands was the Colossi’s Legacy, which he had extracted using the power of Absolute
Authority.
Since Oceanus was part of the Ocean Races, this Authority extended to him.
If the Colossi had still been in his peak form, it would have been impossible for Ethan to take
his Legacy from him.
But now, he no longer had the strength to do anything, making him weaker than Ethan. This allowed the young man to take his Legacy away from him without too much effort.
“Now, let me end your misery.” Ethan then stabbed his Sea God’s Trident into the Colossi’s
chest, killing him in one strike.
King Oceanus’ hatred-filled gaze locked onto Ethan’s face as the light faded from his eyes.
He died with regret because his ambitions were snuffed out before they could even be
realized.
A moment later, King Oceanus’ body was wrapped in blue flames, which burned it completely.
Ethan had no intention of returning the Colossi’s body to the sea, for there was a possibility that he would be revived through Necromancy or the Dark Arts. Only when ashes were left of his body did Ethan finally return to the real world so that he could deal with the rest of the Ocean Races who wished to hurt the woman he loved.
