Chapter 540 Divine Battle [Pt 10]

 

-B000000000000000000M

The battle once again broke into the city square, with Dagon destroying everything in sight as it howled like an insane Beast.

The frustration of not killing its prey was getting to it, causing the creature's mind to go mad.

Devastation spread about, with Dagon flinging buildings at Rey, as well as sending several blasts from its mouth towards him—all of which were skillfully avoided. 3

"GRRRRRRRRR!!!" Dagon was trembling with annoyance at this point.

Its primitive mind could not comprehend why Rey was still alive, so it went on a full-on frenzy.

-VWUUUUUUUM!~

He set the Capital on fire with its blast, killing any human it set eyes on. Anything to sate its wrath was exploited, and through it all... Rey kept intervening.

Rey's attacks stung at best, but Dagon always recovered in a second or two. The frustrating part was that the Monster could not hit him as quickly as he could do to it.

'WHY?!'

The thought seemed to echo in Dagon's primitive brain as it glared hard at Rey.

Hundreds, if not thousands of corpses were already left at its wake, and this new fight had only been on for barely three minutes.

So many people were dead, and many more would die before Dagon was satisfied. Their lives were meaningless, since the horrid beast only desired Rey's life.

In a sense, he was to blame for the deaths of all the innocent residents who lost their lives. 

~WHOOOOSH!~

Once again, Dagon raced towards Rey, racing towards him like an animal. It scratched away at Rey, hoping the long reach of his claws would at least tear of a limb from the brat.

Rather unfortunately... it didn't!

Next, Dagon sent its wide and deadly maw snapping forward, desiring to rip Rey in half.

Once again... its attempt was unsuccessful.

It thrust out its tail, but Rey stepped to the side and avoided the piercing attack, while Dagon sent its horn slashing at Rey, hoping to slice open his throat.

It failed this time. But-

"Squak!"

-A pained scream echoed from the bird that stood on Reys shoulder as the attack slightly grazed it.

Rey instantly leaped away, while Dagon paused for a brief moment. Its beastly mind needed time to process what had just happened— what it just heard.

One further glance at Rey, feeling all the energy and vibrations in the air, Dagon felt itself arriving at a simple conclusion; the solution for its current troubles.

-Kill the bird!

~WHOOOSH!~

It charged at Rey, who seemed to have also noticed Dagon's motives. The human raced away, flying into the air in a blur of red abd blue light.

Dagon followed, gleaming silver under the dark orange ambiance of the sky above. The latr evening was greeted with the sight of two kinds of light chasing each other, with the silver one gaining at a consistent rate.

Rey, in his flaming form, sent flaming constructs to carry buildings and other nearby structures, throwing all of them towards Dagon. His goal must have been to distract Dagon or slow it down in some way.

... That failed miserably.

"GRRRRRRUUAAA!" Seeing so many obstructions in its path only made it more determined to get Rey, so it bounced off the platforms that it evaded, using them as more stable footholds to propel itself even further.

Once that happened, its speed doubled, and it easily broke through any other obstacle that was thrust in its path.

~WHOOOOOOSH!~

Much faster than a mere blur, Dagon instantly closed in on Rey and sent its claws ahead, piercing the crimson bird from behind.

"N-NO-!" Distracted by the sound of squished flesh and spurting blood, Rey yelled out and turned back to react to the injury of his new Familiar.

However, before he could do any more, Dagon's tail whipped across his face, sending him crashing down.

~BOOOOOOOOOM!!!~

Rey fell to the ground, with the bird still hanging on Dagon's claws like a kebab.

"S-skwa...k..." As the crimson bird trembled under the mighty grasp of Dagon, it felt itself unable to move of its own accord.

It couldn't use its natural abilities of regeneration, or flame transformation. Not even teleportation, since that would save its life.

The Null Art that oozed throughout Dagon's body made all of that impossible.

"S-squa....kk..."

~SQUISH!~

In one swift action, Dagon crushed the bird, causing steaming hot blood to burst out. It decorated Dagon's hand for a moment, before drying up and vanishing from sight.

Like vestiges of dust, they scattered away, along with the flaming remnants of the bird's corpse.

"HUUU..." Dagon then descended to the ground, creating a cloud of dust upon its descent.

With the two flaming birds gone, there was only one more prey it had to deal with before the Tamer. Much to its satisfaction, the prey was just recovering from the hit that was dished out to him.

~WHOOOSH!~

Dagon charged towards him, its jaws wide open as it leaked out a beastly grin. Saliva drooped from its gaping maw as its tongue licked its scaly lips.

Its desire was laid bare, and it reached out to crush the human. But-

"No..." Rey sent out his hand to stop Dagon's blow, focusing all of the azure energy that surrounded his body on a single hand.

~BOOOOO0000000000000OOOOM!!!~

A shockwave was scattered throughout the entire city, and the nearby buildings-the ones that hadn't already been demolished- were instantly obliterated.

Dagon's shocked face was replaced by an even greater primal desire to win, so it sent its second fist forward, aiming at Rey's head in order to blow it away.

~WHOOOOSH!~

As the Divine Beast's attacks closed in on Rey, it saw tears descend from his eyes.bender

Something about that brought it satisfaction.

After all, most of those whom it slaughtered had tears in their eyes as they begged to be spared. It mercilessly killed them regardless, so seeing this happen before its eyes only made the kill all the sweeter.

What Dagon didn't know was the prior to this attack-right when Rey had fallen to the ground-he had gotten a notification.

[System Notice]

~All Skills have been updated, while the excesses have been offered to [Sacrifice] per your previous request~

{Would you like to revert this decision? If you do not revert it now, these results will be deemed accepted}

Right there and then... Rey had to respond with the only answer he could.

"No..."

And that was right as he stopped Dagon's attack.

The shockwave that burst away from the two clashing wasn't simply due to the power of one side. No... both of them had contributed an evenly proportional force.

As such, once Dagon's second fist emerged, something instantly shielded Rey, casting some sort of blockade that sent the Beast's fist flying backwards.

As this was happening, Rey whispered very silently.

"Status Window..."

[End Of Information]

"I see..." Rey whispered as he gazed upon the new Status Window that was spread out before him.

"I still don't have monstrous Stats, so this new way I feel must be due to my skills."

More tears fell down his eyes as he sniffed a little.

Dagon had mistaken these for an expression of despair, but the Divine Beast dod not really understand why Rey was crying.

These weren't tears of sorrow or pain.

They were of joy.

"[Skill List]." He whispered, ignoring the constant pounding that Dagon gave his trembling barrier.

There had to be a limit to the defense that it offered, but at the moment Rey didn't pay it any mind. Cracks appeared here and there, but it seemed sturdy enough to take a couple more hits without a problem.

Finally having a chance to catch his breath, he looked at the new list before him.

[END OF INFORMATION]

As Rey witnessed all of this, his eyes widened a little.

From over sixty Skills, everything had been compressed into fifteen. However, all of these were not only in the Divine Tier, but they had also reached their state of perfection.

It was why even Dagon was having trouble with his defensive barrier.

"Haaa..." The last drop of tears fell from Rey's eyes as he set his sights on the Divine Beast in front of him.

"Time for payback."
