GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 730 A Viper Paragon.

?

He didn't try to escape his fate despite the feeling of impending doom creeping up on him. He is too weak to do anything anyway. He didn't even turn to look at his executor. No, he stood still and sighed. He has given his all for his race. He doesn't have anything to give to save himself.

"I was right. Talking was a waste of time." He thought to himself.

He indulged himself with the thought that he was right about not engaging in a conversation. It really is irrelevant to engage in a conversation with someone that is about to die. All that talking will mean nothing now. The only difference is that he is the one that is about to die. All that talking was a waste to him regardless of his death. He didn't hear a single word of it after all.

He was so detached from the world that he didn't notice his companion rushing towards him. Then he suddenly shifted. He was pushed aside, so he saw the attack meant for him cleave his companion apart. The blade of light went right through his companion from head to toe. Blood splashed onto his face. The look of surprise remained on his face as he fell.

He hit the ground only to be joined by his companion soon after. His companion wasn't smiling or chatting anymore. They just have a grim look frozen on their face. It is a pure look of determination and sacrifice. The look wasn't diminished by their split torso and their organs spilling out of the safe confines of their body.

"What now?" He asked himself.

He doesn't know what to say or what to do. He was supposed to die, and he had accepted that. But his companion chose to save him. Why? What use is him being alive? He can barely move. He could die any moment now. He almost died when he was pushed roughly to the ground. Slamming into the ground almost made him lose what little life he has left within him. So of what use is him being saved?

He decided not to worry about it since he is not completely safe yet. The entity that attacked him is getting closer. That feeling of impending doom returned. It crept all over his body and made him shiver involuntarily. He also felt warmer as the entity came close to him. The entity is the source of the heat and the fear that he is feeling. One made him warm, while the other made him shiver despite the warmth.

The entity came. It is big for a Viper. It was 4 meters tall, so it towered above him. That is too big for a mana entity. It has four arms instead of two, and it is shiny. It is very shiny. That's what he saw. He was looking at the Viper with his divine sense since his eyes were focused on the ground. His divine sense couldn't sense anything apart from size and energy readings. 

The Viper is big, but it contains enough energy to make it titanic. The quantity of energy he was struggling with earlier looks pathetic compared to the amount of energy that this being is simply giving off. It is unnatural that a mana entity should contain so much energy. They should explode with nothing left of them. I think you should take a look at

'So this is their god. What could be holding its existence together and keeping it from bursting apart?" he thought to himself.

It is a mana entity just like him, but it has so much energy interwoven into it that it should be a Colossal being. Its already big size is not nearly enough to contain the amount f energy that he can sense from it. The energy he was struggling with and was making his body shake in pain looked like a candle to the bonfire that is this Viper. This being shouldn't exist. Something like that shouldn't exist as a mana entity. It has too much energy woven into its existence that it looks like a small star made of mana. 

There is no way he can face this entity, even if he is whole and brimming with energy. The situation is hopeless for him. He will die immediately after being saved. His companion saved a dead man walking. His companion's death will be in vain. It is an unfortunate pity. 

Another person suddenly appeared. It is an ocular monkey like him. This ocular monkey struck a blow at the Viper. The Viper wanted to kill the ones that murdered his partner, but he had to protect himself from the attack, so it turned its attention to the assailant. Their fists struck each other. Thunder cracked, and light flashed. Then the two of them began a fast pace bout.

Thunder boomed as they clashed. The air howled. It was rilled up into a frenzy. Energy was discharged in bursts of light. A storm of destruction descended. The energy discharge shattered everything they came in contact with. Trees were felled. They broke like weak twigs and caught fire like kindling. 

The collisions between the two combatants created shockwaves that rocked the forest. They circled each other at speeds that left him reeling. He couldn't keep track of them. He only saw flashes of light like solar flares from a star. He held his breath and only released it when the two of them moved away to fight somewhere else.

"What kind of power is that?" he asked himself in disbelief. "Just how is it possible?"

He knows that the Viper is a paragon. That's what the sages called them. He also knows that the battle sage monkey that interfered was a sage. He always wondered how strong those paragons are, so now he knows that it will take a sage to hold one of them back. That means that a mana entity paragon of the Vipers is equal to a very talented battle sage monkey that is a transcendent.
