Chapter 258 51
Booooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Asteroids and giant hills shattered into pieces, and the shards rained down on the land like meteors. But Ziel and Sacred Demonel had no intention of stopping their attacks.
From the space portal in the sky, the second, third and fourth asteroids appeared that covered the sky and rained down on the Sacred Demonel. But the hill, no less big than the asteroid, suddenly appeared and clashed. The Sacred Demonel didn't stand still after seeing Ziel's attack. She sensed the danger from the asteroids that had sprung from the space portal.
Booooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm!
Booooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm!
Booooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm!
Ziel's and Sacred Demonel's attacks continued to clash in the sky. Its fragments became a meteor shower that fell across various regions of the Beast Kingdom and caused tremendous damage.
Ziel and the Sacred Demonel moved and attacked each other in the clash of the asteroid and the giant hill. Ziel was still with the black and white sword in his hand while the Sacred Demonel changed his weapon with a large scythe.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Ziel clashed his sword with the Sacred Demonel's scythe under the meteor shower. When the scythe cut off his arm, Ziel quickly restored it to its original state with his magic. When Ziel's sword left a deep scar on her chest, the Sacred Demonel immediately regenerated it.
The Sacred Demonel's strength and stamina seemed endless as she could still maintain the speed, power, and rhythm of her breath. Meanwhile, Ziel started sweating and breathing a little heavily.
"Haa…Haa… looks like I can't let this fight drag on. I must finish her off immediately, or I'll run out of power first. Thanks to the power of the nine-headed imperial dragon. Otherwise, I might already be unable to move." Ziel's eyes turned silver.
"Hmm… this power…" Sacred Demonel raised her eyebrows after feeling the space around her condense and pinch her. It rendered her immobile, as if she was being suppressed by something invisible. Sacred Demonel quickly recognized that power.
"You can use that dragon's power?" Sacred Demonel frowned. Since she was created to guard the Clorius continent, only Ziel could give a sense of danger so many times. Sacred Demonel felt Ziel was a mysterious man whose origins she couldn't even identify.
Ziel compressed the power of the nine-headed imperial dragon in his white sword, Alvha. After the aurora condensed and enveloped it, Ziel swung his sword and delivered consecutive slashes.
[Cross-Dimensional Splitter]
The space around the Sacred Demonel was cut in half, then four, eight, sixteen, and so on, until the Sacred Demonel was cut into smaller pieces. But Ziel's attacks didn't stop there.
Ziel's eyes turned fiery red, and he swung his black sword at the Sacred Demonel, who had turned into small pieces of flesh. A massive storm of black flames encircled the Sacred Demonel's body and scorched it.
"Urgh!" The Sacred Demonel groaned in pain for the first time. But it turns out that Ziel's attack is still not over. Ziel brandished his black sword, creating another cloud vortex in the sky.
[Heavenly Judgment]
A pillar of crimson light fell from the center of the vortex and engulfed the Sacred Demonel.
Booooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Ziel's power was drastically reduced after launching consecutive attacks on the Sacred Demonel. His face looked a little pale, and he was breathing heavily. But his eyes remained focused on where the Sacred Demonel was.
Not long after, the pillar of light disappeared, and the Sacred Demonel was nowhere to be seen. But Ziel's sense of danger from the Sacred Demonel still hasn't gone away. He increased the sensitivity of his senses many times over and saw a small spot where the Sacred Demonel had been before.
"I know you're not dead yet. So you don't have to bother pretending." Ziel said indifferently. He already knew that the guardians of the continent wouldn't just die from an attack like that.
Even though Ziel was already much stronger than when he fought the nine-headed imperial dragon in the Elven Kingdom, that creature was still the guardian of the continent. Moreover, Ziel's power was stuck at the demi-god level for an unknown reason.
"Hahaha... You're incredible! But if your strength is only that much, then you won't be able to kill me!" Sacred Demonel laughed loudly. Unlike her calm demeanor when she first appeared, the current Sacred Demonel looked somewhat different. That's because her body which was previously a balanced combination of arc demon and arc angel turned into a more domineering arc demon.
The Sacred Demonel's body was enveloped in white light, and its body began to construct. But the color of his wings and eyes turned pitch black. Moreover, her recovery was not perfect, as her body still had many visible scars. But the Sacred Demonel paid no heed to that. She raised her hands to the sky, and tens of thousands of spheres of black light were created until they covered the sky.
"Hahaha... you can be proud for hurting me like this! So as my thanks, die!" The Sacred Demonel laughed maniacally and swung her arms at Ziel.
[Sphere of Annihilation]
[Rain of Destruction]
The tens of thousands of balls of black light in the sky moved at terrifying speed following the sacred Demonel's orders and attacked in all directions in the area but mostly aimed at Ziel.
Ziel gripped his swords tighter, and his face became serious. He felt that his current situation was really in danger. Ziel moved to dodge the spheres of black light coming at him. But that attack was too much and hit Ziel's shoulder, thigh, and right arm.
"Ugh!" Ziel groaned in pain. He swung his white sword at the hundreds of black spheres in front of him.
[Space Banishment]
A gigantic space tear formed before Ziel and engulfed the spheres of black light. But that was only a small part of the Sacred Demonel's attack. Thousands of other black spheres came continuously following Ziel, like having the ability to track targets automatically.
Ziel slashed as much as the number of spheres of black light that came at him. In other words, he was swinging his sword thousands of times per second.
Meanwhile, thousands of other black orbs pounded the Monarch Palace. Fortunately, Azalia, Fornius, and Aghares had created a barrier in that place or the Monarch Palace, and the people within it had already disappeared from the Clorius continent.
Ziel narrowed his eyes at the Monarch palace. He saw that Azalia's barrier had begun to crack and would not last long. Azalia, Fornius, and Aghares wouldn't be able to deal with the Sacred Demonel's attacks once the barrier was broken, let alone protect the people within that place.
Ziel's face sank, and he flew with astonishing speed towards the Monarch Palace under the obstruction of the thousands of spheres of black light that rained down on him. He could dodge and destroy some of the attacks, but some hit him, and the wounds on his body increased significantly.
Even so, Ziel didn't care because he could heal his wound immediately. The most important thing for him right now was that he had to stop the bombardment of the sphere of black light on the Monarch palace before Azalia's barrier was broken.
"Hahaha… looks like you have something important there! I didn't expect that such a strong irregular would need such a relationship. I want to see if you can protect it because I will destroy everything in this kingdom!" The Sacred Demonel's expression was horrifying, and she laughed like a madman.
The target of the guardian of the continent in Sacred Demonel's memory became blurred after the arc demon dominated the body. Initially, she would only eliminate the irregulars and avoid harming the natives of the Clorius continent if she didn't have to. But now, the Sacred Demonel would destroy anything as long as she could eliminate the irregulars.
When Ziel was right in front of the Monarch palace, the Sacred Demonel increased the number of spheres of black light. She intended to eliminate Ziel along with the Monarch palace and the people within it.
"I have no other choice." Ziel gritted his teeth. The aurora overflowed from his body and enveloped the Monarch Palace.
Sacred Demonel didn't stay still after seeing Ziel want to do something. She focused the attack on Ziel while he was concentrating. Ziel couldn't move in his current state. So he could only dodge the black sphere from hitting his vital point. Because of that, his body was covered in wounds, but his preparations were finally complete.
[Impenetrable Fortress]
The aurora that enveloped the Monarch Palace turned into a fortress and blocked the attacks of the thousands of spheres of black light.
"I don't know how much power she has to continuously create spheres of black light, but she must have a limit. I'm unsure if I can hold out until she reaches her limit. I have to attack with the same amount and power to stop her attack. Otherwise, I'll be passive in my defensive state, and only death will await me next." Ziel looked at the spheres of black light that were increasing in number like they were endless.
[Piqment Clone]
Ziel created his seven clones to surround and protect him. The seven clones blocked and destroyed the spheres of black light attacking the real Ziel. He couldn't be bothered when creating new skills with his innate abilities.
"I don't know what you want to do, but I won't let you succeed." The Sacred Demonel grinned and increased the number of her attack by a much larger size.
The Sacred Demonel also couldn't move from where she was because her current state was unstable. It was because the arc angel within her was trying to suppress the arc demon's dominance to rebalance the state of 'Oillet' body.
Ziel's eye returned to Crimson, and the strangely clear and dark sky due to the Sacred Demonel was covered by dark clouds with red lightning thundering loudly. Tens of thousands of red lightning bolts struck the mainland simultaneously. The phenomenon was dazzling to the eyes, and the roar was deafening.
The flash of lightning did not fall to the ground but stopped midair and surrounded Ziel. If previously the sky was filled with spheres of black light, it was dyed with red lightning and looked terrifying now. The lightning condensed and transformed into a crimson-colored ball of energy. Soon after, tens of thousands of red energy balls were formed. Then Ziel opened his eyes and muttered.
[Thunder Cannonball]
The clone of Ziel resisting the Sacred Demonel's attack disappeared and was replaced with red energy balls almost equal in number to spheres of black light.
"I didn't expect you to have such a skill. But I want to see which is the stronger attack. Mine or yours!" The Sacred Demonel waved his hand, and tens of thousands of spheres of black light rained down on Ziel.
"I want to know that too." Ziel replied curtly and swung his black sword. In addition to the power of lightning, the red energy ball also contained the destructive power of Ziel's black sword.
The spheres of black light and the red energy ball collided in the sky and created successive explosions accompanied by shockwaves and thunderstorms. The blast covered the atmosphere for tens of kilometers, making it look like the apocalypse had fallen upon the world.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ziel sighed after seeing the destructive power of the skill he had just created. At first, he wasn't sure his attack could counter the spheres of black light. But after injecting the destructive power of his black sword into the red energy ball, he became slightly confident of clashing head-on with the attack from the Sacred Demonel.
"I only have a small amount of strength left in my body after setting up the barrier in the Monarch Palace and creating a new skill. My current power is only enough to make one attack. After that, my body won't be able to move due to running out of strength. My next attack will determine my victory or my death." Ziel said with a solemn face while breathing heavily.
Ziel's face was pale, and some injuries were deliberately not healed to conserve his strength. Because of that, he was a bit dizzy and staggered from losing a lot of blood from his wound.
While Ziel was thinking of a way to land a crushing blow on the Sacred Demonel, he suddenly frowned as a feeling of danger surged from within his heart. Then he turned his gaze upwards and saw four spheres of black light slightly different from the others. Ziel also found the other four under him.
"It is dangerous!!" Ziel sensed the threat to his life from the eight black spheres and intended to flee from there quickly. But his reaction was too late as the eight black spheres suddenly connected by a line and formed a cube that enclosed Ziel.
All the spheres of black light scattered in the sky were attracted to the pitch-black cube that was confining Ziel. The black spheres merged into one, turning into a cube wall and completely covering Ziel's figure.
[Eternal Nothingness]
The Sacred Demonel's voice echoed in the sky above the Monarch Palace. The pitch-black cube shrank at a terrifying speed and finally disappeared into tiny particles along with the person inside.
