Chapter 238 Descent Of The Destroyer [Part 4]

King Gomorra and King Atlas charged at the Majin King with their weapons at the ready.

Although they were a distance away, they had seen that the Kings, whom they had considered as their rivals, had already perished in Arundel's hands.

But, instead of being afraid, this only made them angrier, so they didn't hesitate to attack the monster, who was several times stronger than them.

Arundel glanced at the two approaching Thrones before shifting his gaze back to the seven-year-old, who was now running away with the help of a Drow, and her Shadow Steed.

The corner of his lips curled up into a smile because he knew that no matter where the boy went, there was no way that he would be able to escape his grasp.

Arundel didn't want the news of him groveling on the feet of a Celestial to spread, so he had no intention of sparing anyone on the battlefield, with the exception of his own forces.

"I'll deal with both of you first," Arundel said as he faced the two Kings, who were now only dozens of meters away from him. "I hope that both of you are prepared to die."

Instead of answering him, the Ogre King and the Tigerkin King roared fearlessly as they brandished their weapons against him.

While this was happening, Adira focused her attention on running away as fast as she could.

She understood that it was impossible for King Gomorra and King Atlas to hold Arundel?back for long.

"Is there really no other way?" Adira asked, while making sure that the boy sitting in front of her wouldn't slip away from her grasp.

"No," Thirteen replied. "Also, if the worst comes to worse, feel free to leave my side, Lady Adira. I will manage somehow."

"And, why would I do that?" Adira snorted. "Were in this together so…"

Suddenly, Adira's sixth sense screamed inside her head, making her grab Zion and jump off her Shadow Horse.

A second later, a red laser passed them, piercing through the Shadow Steed, splitting it in half.

"Sh*t!" Adira cursed in her heart as she used her body to cushion Zion's fall on the ground.

The two rolled for several meters before the Drow glanced behind them to see what was happening.

King Gomorra and King Atlas were still fighting against Arundel, but the latter even had enough free time to target them from a distance.

However, before she, and the younger boy could even stand, another red laser flew in their direction, giving only Adira enough time to push Zion away.

A pained cry escaped the Drow's lips as her legs were severed from her body.

But, instead of blood, shadowy particles rose up from the severed part, making Thirteen's face turn grim.

"Go!" Adira shouted as she summoned a whip that wrapped itself around Zion's waist.

With one powerful lash, Adira sent Zion flying towards one of their allies, who was already running in their direction.

"This is fun," Arundel laughed as he summoned two flaming swords to block the Ogre King's blow. "You're weak."

Arundel then kicked the Ogre King away, sending the latter flying hundreds of meters in the air.

The Tigerkin used that opportunity to land a full-powered-blow on the side of Arundel's body, but the Majin Prince casually stepped to the side, avoiding King Atlas' sneak attack.

"Pathetic." Arundel sneered before kicking the Tigerkin King away like a soccer ball.

He was more interested in torturing the boy, than dealing with the two Thrones, whom he believed couldn't harm him.

If he was fighting against five opponents, Arundel would not openly show himself.

However, he had already eliminated three of the Kings, and burned their bodies to ashes.

In short, he no longer had anything to fear, which was the reason why he could take his time and do whatever he wanted.

For him, the moment the three Kings died, the battle had already been won. So, regardless of what his enemies could do, and no matter how many they were, there was only one ending waiting for them, and that was… death.

Thirteen, who had been thrown away by Adira, was caught by Giga Chad.

"Giga, run away in the opposite direction!" Thirteen orders. "Arundel is only after me! Get away from me!"

The seven-year-old didn't even wait for the Chad Skunk to reply to his words as he sprinted away with everything he had.

He knew that Arundel was only toying with him, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The only thing he could think of was to push his allies away from him, so they wouldn't be harmed like Blacky, Rocky, O1, O2, and Adira.

Giga Chad was one of his closest companions, aside from Tiona and Cristopher. If something happened to him, he knew that the feelings that he had been bottling up inside his chest would break his heart.

At that moment, a Fireball landed several meters away from him, and from it emerged the Majin Prince, who was looking at the seven-year-old with a sneer on his face.

"What's wrong, boy?" Arundel asked. "Do you want me to hold your hand so you can run faster? Hahaha!"

Thirteen ignored the Majin Prince and continued to run away.

He wanted Arundel to continue toying with him, so that he could reach the place where he needed to be.

It didn't matter if he got hurt in the process. As long as he could take him to the center of the formation, he would have a chance to seal him.

"Let me help you run faster, boy," Arundel laughed as he summoned a dozen flame spears that flew in Thirteen's direction.

Gritting his teeth, Thirteen jumped, and rolled to the side, evading the spears that landed just a foot away from his body.

However, four of those spears suddenly changed their trajectory.

Arundel planned to pin the boy's arms, and legs, making him feel despair as his body slowly burned away, and turned to ashes.

Thirteen calculated where those spears would land, but he didn't have enough time to do anything about it.

But, just as they were about to pierce his body, something big blocked their path, and sprayed droplets of hot blood on Thirteen's face.

"No!" Thirteen looked at Giga Chad who had used his body to shield him from the flame spears. "Giga!"

The Blaze Chad Skunk didn't even utter a groan of pain, and simply looked in Thirteen's eyes.

The Monster's eyes had a determined look, as if telling his Master that everything was going to be fine.

With the Flame Spears piercing his body, Giga retracted the claws on his paws, and nudged his Master's body.

"Go," Giga said to him using his language. "Go, Master. Go!"

Tears finally fell on Thirteen's face as Giga pushed him away.

This time, blood seeped at the corner of the young boy's lips because he bit his lip too hard in order to regain his composure.

He knew what he needed to do.

He knew what Giga wanted him to do.

So he ran away.

Ran away even though his vision was blurred with tears.

"Hahaha! Run, little boy, run!" Arundel laughed as he casually walked in the direction where the boy was running.

However, something grabbed his foot, preventing him from moving away.

Giga Chad had grabbed hold of the Majin Prince's leg, refusing to let go.

"Oh, so you're playing the hero now?"

The sneer on the Majin Prince's lips widened as he summoned a flame spear to stab the back of the persistent monster who didn't know his place.

But, despite the pain, Giga Chad's hold of Arundel never loosened, making the Majin prince repeatedly stab his body, making sure to not hit the monster's core, prolonging its suffering.

However, after a minute had passed, Arundel had grown bored, and tried to shake Giga Chad away, but the latter wasn't budging.

It was as if the Chad Skunk had focused all of his strength into his arms, turning it into a vice grip.

A hint of annoyance appeared on Arundel's face as he glanced in the direction where the boy was running.

He had allowed the boy to run away for a minute because it wouldn't be fun if this little game of his ended immediately.

But, he was starting to get annoyed by Giga Chad's stubbornness.

"Filthy monster," Arundel spat at the Chad Skunk's face before kicking him away.

An explosion erupted when Arundel's foot collided with Giga Chad's body, nearly destroying half of the Monster's body.

The body of Thirteen's fateful friend, and companion, crashed on the ground, with his entire body blazing like a giant bonfire.

Arundel didn't even give the loyal monster another glance as he ran after the boy, who was desperately making his way to the flag that was fluttering in the distance.

High above the sky, Vassago screeched angrily after seeing what happened to his good friend.

Pocopocos didn't really care about other people and monsters, except for their kind.

However, he had grown fond of his Master and his circle of friends, who fearlessly faced off against the Majin Prince, who was now after his Master with a devilish smile on his face.

Vassago's eyes glinted as he soared high in the sky.

He would like nothing more than to attack Arundel despite knowing that it would not even scratch him.

The only reason why he persevered was due to the fact that this was the only way that he could help his Master achieve his goal.

He had an important role to play, and Vassago would make sure that he fulfilled his role first before he descended from the sky in a blaze of glory, with the intention of avenging his companions, whom he had learned to love.
