Chapter 756: Enough to kill
****
Annihilation... It was an absolute annihilation. In the blink of an eye, half the gods that sided with Caen were killed, while the other half reacted fast and barely managed to escape.
The Gods had finally intervened in the battle to find an advantage to Caen. Even Caen didn't expect them to ignore his orders and interfere like his. He felt as if he was being looked down on.
Just as Caen didn't think the Gods were going to attack Gabriel, the Gods didn't expect Gabriel to deflect his attack so easily.
They believed that their assault would benefit Caen by inflicting severe damage on Gabriel, making it easier for Caen to eliminate Gabriel. After which, they could work together against Ezekiel.
With their failure, they had only embarrassed themselves. At the same time, they upset Caen. But it wasn't Caen that they had to worry about.
With their interference in the battle between the two, they had upset another person. So far, that person was simply standing behind, watching the battle. He hadn't even gotten involved because he wanted Gabriel to solve his grudge.
He didn't even bother attacking the Gods, waiting for Janus or Chaos to arrive. As long as the gods didn't annoy him, he was going to let them live a little longer. Unfortunately, the Gods didn't stay out of the battle.
Although their attack hadn't harmed Gabriel, that didn't matter.
Ezekiel finally got involved in the battle.
The Gods felt a sense of doom. They didn't know what this feeling was, but all of them tried to leave that place as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, only half of them managed to get away, and that too barely. The other halves died before they could even see the face of their killer. In a single moment, so many of them were killed.
Amongst a mesh of mangled bodies, a figure could be seen. A man who was far away from this place just a moment ago. It was Ezekiel.
The sight made Caen distracted. He was about to command his men but before he could speak, he felt a sense of danger.
He raised his Sword, blocking Gabriel's Sword. He himself didn't have time to think about others.
The Gabriel he remembered was a weak man, but the person who stood before him was nowhere close to weak. If anything, he was as strong as a High Council God if not stronger.
Caen wanted to save his strength for Ezekiel. He believed he could finish this battle by simply using the power of the gems. But each attack that used the gems needed his blood! Every time he used the gems, his blood was devoured by the gems.
The reason these gems were called the Gems of Life was because it devoured the other person's life with every use. So far, Caen had only partially used it, that too only once, when he broke Gabriel's sword.
He had expected to kill Gabriel with just that, but he missed. And after that, he didn't use the gems, trying to save his life for Ezekiel. Even if he was to die using these gems, he wanted to die in a battle with Ezekiel!
He wanted to save the powers of these Gems to kill the undying being known as Ezekiel! This was the one thing that could kill the man!
Caen was pushed back by Gabriel, barely managing to balance himself. His mind was torn. He could only use the full power of these gems once, and that itself was going to leave him half dead. But if he used it on Gabriel, he wasn't sure if just one attack was going to be enough for Ezekiel.
For him, revenge for his family was more important than battle with Gabriel.
"Switch the enemies! I'll fight that man!" Caen commanded the Gods that had survived.
He was sure that they couldn't kill Gabriel. But for them, facing Gabriel was much better than facing Ezekiel!
In this battle, Caen wasn't sure if he could survive, but even if he died, he wanted to die in his own way, like a proud good that killed the Undying Being that even his father couldn't kill!
"I won't let you leave!" Gabriel appeared before Caen, once again trying to stop him.
While Caen cared more about killing Ezekiel, Gabriel cared more about killing Caen.
"Get away from me!" Caen roared, raising his sword. Once again, he sacrificed some of his life, to partially draw the strength of the gems for the second time.
He could actually feel his life being drawn out, as if something inside his body was dying when he used this power, but he didn't care. He was only partially using the gems, saving his main attack for Ezekiel.
Caen brought his Sword down. With the power of the gems, the attack was like nothing before. The reality itself was split apart. Not just the upper realm but even the worlds beyond trembled as a terrifying attack was created.
The attack was strange. It came from straight ahead, but it couldn't be dodged. It was as if the attack manipulated the space itself. If one dodged to the left, the attack was on the left.
If they dodged on the right, it was on the right. Even Teleportation wasn't possible as the space was broken, turning into a void.
Back on the ground, even Ezekiel frowned as he saw the attack. However, Caen didn't stay behind to see if Gabriel could even survive the attack.
Instead, right after attacking Gabriel, he flew toward Ezekiel, while the other Gods flew toward his direction to block Gabriel if he managed to survive the attack.
The world itself was on the verge of breaking apart.
"How much life do you even have left?" Ezekiel asked Caen who landed before him. Strangely enough, he didn't even try to save Gabriel.
It was unclear if he knew that Gabriel couldn't be saved even if he tried, or if he just had that much confidence. But nevertheless, he was before Caen, once again talking as if he knew the gems.
"Enough left to kill an undying bastard," Caen replied.
