Chapter 520: Seven Horns Calamity Goat

Chapter 520: Seven Horns Calamity Goat

A starking dark skin of the abyss was present. Four thin legs with cloven hoofs. Seven magnificent silver horns were presenting the seven points of a star. His eyes were gray and he was heaving up and down. Though his aura was currently lacking compared to True Dragon and Devil Ape due to his concerning corporeal condition, the weak smile he gave against Lyon was as bright as ever.

“It’s fine, it’s fine, I’m glad that you look brimming with life. Grandpa just needs to rest for a while… let me close my eyes.”

The black goat closed his eyes as he bend four of his legs. Though his size was comparable to Shen’s current form the divinity of race that he came from was as pure as the latter.

“Little brother!” both Sun and True Dragon suddenly revealed themselves as they shout against the weak corporeal goat.

“Ho~Hahaha!” the Eternal Golem laughed. “This is great! This is so great! Never did I think that both of you actually know each other! Not to mention, a True Dragon and Devil Ape! My resurrection is secured!”

“I-I see!” exclaimed Kesya. “That golem is using the goat’s vitality! That’s why he easily regenerates his broken body! Look! There is a thin line of connection from the Eternal Golem and the goat!”

“Pretty keen, but what can you do?” said Eternal Golem. “Absolutely nothing.”

The laugh of Eternal Golem was reverberating through the entire realm but inside Lyon’s mind, he heard nothing. The laughter was dimmed down to a slight hush as his eyes were taken back to a distant memory.

*Glug!

“Pwah!”

The sound of a satisfied young child was heard near a healthy river flow. Fishes were jumping up and down but the child paid no heed as he put down the gourd next to his. 

“This Monkey King wine sure tasted amazing.”

“Hoo? I thought that you are not supposed to drink that again after what happened to you.”

“Eek!”

The young child jumped out of fright from the presence that he couldn’t sense. He was hanging on a branch right above him before he looked down to see a smiling black goat. The menacing face belied the smile that he always exuded.

“Heh, sit down with me, grandson,” the goat called out.

“E-Err… sure,” Lyon hastily sat down nearby the river with the goat. “L-Listen, I’m sorry! Please don’t tell! I don’t want my butt to be slapped by her again.”

Lyon spare no time and kowtowed against the goat.

“Huh? What are you talking about?” replied the goat.

“E-Eh? That I drank the Monkey King’s wine?”

“Oh? I’m sorry but these eyes and these ears had grown old. All I see was you drinking from the water from the river? Was I wrong?” said the black goat without even looking at the young child.

The young child was looking at the goat with a few blinks of confusion before his eyes glimmered. “N-No, I was drinking the water from the river.”

“That’s what I thought,” the black goat chuckled.

The young child sat down beside him as they boringly watched the river flow freely.

“You.. have something to ask me?” said the black goat.

“N-Nothing…”

“Then nothing it is…” said the old goat as he suddenly kicked one of the nearby pebbles to the young child’s surprise.

The pebble went through breaking the air before hitting right on the body of the fish that jumped out.

“Uwah!” the young child had never expected something like that to occur. However, the goat didn’t chase the fish and let it fall back to the water and enter the river flow.

“Grandpa, out of the twelve of you, you are the kindest and nicest of them all!” said the young child as he spread his arms before hugging him.

“What’s that all of the sudden, hahaha,” the goat laughed.

“If anything bad happens to you, I will be the first one to beat them senseless!” claimed the child as he showed his little fist.

“Hahaha, is that so? Then I’m counting on you, grandson or should I say, sir Lyon Torga?”

“En! Leave it to me!” the word echoed as Lyon was brought back to reality.

—–

He opened his eyes with tears running down both of his cheeks.

“How dare you… constrict my kind grandfather to such a state…” Lyon gritted his teeth as the onlookers were looking at him.

The three generals were at a loss as their movement was restricted by the Golem Petrification. 

There were not enough mana for magic nor were their anti-mana to manipulate to their advantage. However, though the place was disadvantageous for the human race, they could feel Lyon’s madness just from a glimpse of his eyes.

“Hahaha! Lyon Torga! Seeing that face sure bring ba— Ngh?!”

The Eternal Golem suddenly saw Lyon was right before its very eyes.

*Boom!

A blow connected. An impact with jade and golden hue let out a flare before the resounding roar followed. It was not a roar to declare that they were present, it was a roar that resembled their madness.

Under the disbelieving eyes and grinning of the three generals, the huge Eternal Golem was actually flying before crashing toward the huge mountain.

Disregarding the awed expressions of the others nor the wailing Eternal Golem, Lyon immediately rushed forward, toward the kindest grandfather of the twelve.

“Scarlet!” shouted Lyon before he swung the sword down.

*Boom!

“Guha!” Lyon coughed his blood out as he was sent flying from the merciless kick that came from Eternal Golem.

He gritted his teeth before somersaulting in the air and landed with his feet as he dragged the soil away.

“Ptui!” he spat his blood to the black grasses on the ground.

“It’s stupid Lyon,” the voice bellowed before Eternal Golem landed right in front of him. “You have nowhere to run.”

“I have no idea how you got younger and weaker at the same time, though I want to know I have first to thank you. Never thought that my arch enemy would give me the chance to live. A True Dragon, a Devil Ape, and I found the Seven Horns Calamity Goat wandering about. I can live again! Oh, I can live again! And all because of you! Hahaha!” the Eternal Golem laughed.

“Don’t worry, Torga. You are the only human that is comparable to me, along with that bitch wife of yours!” said Eternal Golem.

“I’ll kill you!”

“Heh,” Eternal Golem raised its foot before stomping it against Lyon.

The Eternal Golem took a deep long breath as it basked in victory. It felt no resistance against its foot. The ground cracked to a concerning degree before Eternal Golem bellowed a laugh.

“HAHAHAHA!!”

The laughter echoed and caught the concerning geniuses. The three of them couldn’t make out clearly what was laughing but they knew it was huge enough for them to see. Especially Ivy who had an incline after seeing Lyon bursting through the air with rage.

“Is he.. fighting that thing?!” thought Ivy as she lost her cool. The humongous figure was comparable to a mountain. A lone man was fighting it.

“Hahahha… hmm…” its laughter soon suddenly ended as it was suspecting something.

It raised its humongous leg that had stomped Lyon. 

“Ngh?!” the Eternal Golem stared in disbelief as it looked down against the crater that it made. There was no splattering of blood, there was not even a corpse like it would have expected. 

“What the…?” the Eternal Golem was confused. It definitely felt the crushing of Lyon’s bones from its foot but there was nothing beneath its foot.

A gentle gale suddenly whispered as the eyes of the Eternal Golem squinted. It reached out toward the air before grabbing something, It opened its palm before a thin black hair was revealed.

“No… no.. no… this is!”

The Eternal Golem turned around before looking at the black goat. There was a young man standing beside it. The young man that Eternal Golem wanted nothing but death.

Lyon furrowed his eyebrows as he glared straight against the Eternal Golem that stood a leap far from him. He raised his sword

“No… don’t do it! TORGAA!” the Eternal Golem cried out.

Lyon swung his sword and severed the connection between the Calamity Goat and the Eternal Golem just like that. 

“Heh, you did it, grandson,” muttered the Calamity Goat as it was struggling to get up.

“Grandfather, please, you need to rest,” said Lyon as he crouched down.

“I will, but fulfill your promise from back then,” said the Calamity Goat.

“I will,” said Lyon as he stood up. His eyes turned sharp as he looked at the Eternal Golem like it was the last prey on the earth.

“Give him some from me,” said the Calamity Goat before he closed his eyes.

Lyon’s back suddenly made a shimmering glow as a third name appeared on his back. Lyon closed his eyes before opening them again and revealing horizontal-slit gray pupils.
