Book 6: Chapter 191: Interfere (4)

Gin violently coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground unconscious, but the sinister smile on his face didn’t fade even as one of his tails turned to ash, leaving him with only seven.

At that very same moment, attacks that Dyon thought he had more than enough time to dodge slammed into him violently.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Diana’s arrows slammed into Dyon’s side, sending him flying toward Amory’s fist.

The timing of the two blows was uncanny. Dyon felt that his inner organs had been violently shaken up, as though they had been stuck in a blender and turned up to the highest setting. If it wasn’t for his mask, blood would have long since flown from his mask.

However, as things would have it, trouble never came alone. Cullen had long since sent a strike of own, aiming to slice Dyon in half.

At that moment, Dyon’s robes had been torn to nothing. He didn’t even have the time to summon his wings to protect himself. It was almost as though for every ten moves his enemies made, he could only think of executing one.

Cullen’s moon saber met Dyon’s shoulder, intent on slicing him from shoulder to hip.

Pu!

Dyon’s finger flicked at an agonizingly slow pace.

A spear shot out from his own plaques, slamming into his shoulder and blasting him into the ground, allowing him to narrowly dodge Cullen’s strike.

The geniuses watching were stunned. How cruel!

Dyon’s shoulder had become a bloodied mess, making his left arm all but useless. By now, he understood what had happened despite his speed of thought being considerably slowed. Gin must have paid a heavy price to apply his time will to him.

One of the major restrictions on time will was its use against living objects. For obvious reasons, this was a massive taboo. It could be used on things with weak life force, like Masako’s snakes, or inanimate objects with relative ease. But, anything above that threshold was subject to causing heavy backlash.

Gin had paid the price of his talent and his future prospects in order to slow Dyon’s time relative to everyone else’s for a short period. And they almost succeeded in taking Dyon’s life too… Had it not been for Dyon forcibly injuring himself to dodge Cullen’s killing blow, he would definitely be in two halves right now.

Even though Gin hadn’t succeeded in his ultimate goal, his contributions were unprecedented.

Dyon’s damage wasn’t limited to his arm. Diana and Amory’s attacks had torn up his insides, making it difficult to even breathe. Even worse, their attacks hadn’t paused for even a moment. The instant they realized that Dyon hadn’t died, they prepared their next attacks immediately.

Suddenly, Dyon began to laugh as he watched the three attacks approach him. “Good!”

His eyes reddened with unbridled rage. These bastards dared to slander his woman and even attack him for the sake of their own greed. Then when the lives of those they cared about came to be on the line, they dared to stand on a moral high-horse, telling him not to go too far with his revenge.

Gin’s attack faded. It was completely unable to be sustained for an extended period of time, as such, this was no surprise.

Dyon’s black wings erupted from his back, sending fierce winds that slapped Diana and Amory’s attacks away.

The vibrations stirred his inner organs again, unable to withstand the full impact.

Cullen’s moon saber slammed into Dyon’s wings, sending him flying toward Aki’s position.

Aki hesitated. He was completely focused on keeping the space sealed, if he attacked now, it would definitely compromise that.

“Haha, don’t worry about it.” A voice suddenly called out from beside Aki. “Focus on keeping the space sealed, I got this.”

A sudden realization hit Aki. It was actually Chanzui, the fatso who hadn’t made a move this entire time. He was actually so lazy that he wanted to benefit without doing a thing. But, when he saw that Aki was thinking about ignoring his role in sealing the space, he decided to step in. A mistake at this crucial moment with a man as intelligent as Dyon as their opponent was asking to lose. Since he had already made it clear that he was standing opposed to Dyon, there was no longer any backing out. It would be a serious detriment to his laid-back lifestyle if he had a maniac like Dyon chasing him for revenge, so it was better if he dealt with it now.

Chanzui slapped his belly. In an instant, the palms of his hands expanded my ten, then twenty, then thirty times.

His palms reddened before raising into the air and slamming toward Dyon with heavy killing intent.

Cullen, Amory and Diana acted. A flurry of fists, arrows, sabers and palms flew toward. Even if it was a celestial genius, to take this sort of attack without protection was nothing more than suicide.

But, that was when Dyon disappeared.

At first, the four were stunned. But then, they inwardly sneered. Did he really think the same trick would work twice?

The crowd sighed inwardly. They admired Dyon’s courage. To think of fighting five Emperors at once? All while resonating with a legacy? Was he just too arrogant? They wondered what would have happened had he taken his opponents as seriously as he should have.

The four attacks slammed at Dyon with unbridled ferocity. Chanzui’s palms, Cullen’s sabers, Amory’s fists and Diana’s arrows, each and every one found their mark.

Diana relaxed before a smile spread across her slightly manly features.

Pu!

At that moment, the sound of a knife shearing through armor completely outshone the sound of four devastating attacks landed.

Diana froze, her eyes widening in shock as felt an uncontrollable pain twist through her.
