Chapter 139 - Second ing of a Legend (2)
“Well, Reygus! You are a mere ghost from the past! You should bee the sacrificial offering to the technique I developed!”
Light exploded forth as Azell let out a shout. Reygus was sent flying. Azell had been in a strength contest when his clone appeared from the side of Reygus. Azell’s clone had gotten a blow in. The armor, which had been as sturdy as a castle, started to break apart. The darkness started to flow out from within.
“You always acted arrogant as if you knew everything there is to know in the world. This is why terrible things always happen to you. You are the same now as in old times! Didn’t I tell you before that an old man with an aggressive attitude is unsightly?”
Azell’s voice rang out from all sides. The branches of thunder extended to all sides. In between them, several dozen Azells appeared, and they all felt like the real one. They were intended to confuse the senses.
“Do you think I’ll let you use such a big skill!”
Before it could activate the power of it soul hammer, Azell’s clone followed along the erratic path taken by a branch of the thunder. He appeared in front of Reygus. It could happen only for an instant, but his clone could produce power parable to his real body.
However, Reygus stopped its movement at a dime to block Azell’s attack. It had been bringing down its hammer to attack, but it stopped as if the attack had been a lie. It was an illogical move, and Azell was taken aback by it.
This was a trick that can’t be performed with a living body. If one tried to quickly hold back an attack with power behind it, one’s bones, muscles, nerves and blood vessels would suffer enormous damage. It didn’t matter how much magical energy one put into one’s body to strengthen it. It would all be damaged.
However, as an Undead, it was possible to move in such illogical ways. It was like the time when it ignored the restriction imposed by the joint's range of motion. If it could endure the strengthening magic, it was possible to move in a way where it could ignore inertia!
Azell had jumped in thinking it was a great opportunity, but he had jumped into a trap. In a flash, Reygus was able to accelerate its movement, and there was no rhythm to its movement. The attack accelerated in an explosive manner as it struck Azell.
Kwahhhhhng!
Azell blocked it with his Dragon Maken, but it had already calculated such a response was ing. It activated the power seated within the soul hammer as the shockwave upended the ground. All the clones running along the ground was swept away, and even Azell’s real form was sent flying.
Of course, he didn’t think this attack would finish Azell. However, the powerful shockwave would seal the movement of Azell, and it would allow Reygus to inflict a decisive blow! Reygus followed behind the shockwave, and it let out an attack that would be able to destroy a mountain.
However…….
‘Uh?’
It expected Azell to be sent flying by the shockwave, but Azell remained in place. The shock wave and the enormous amount of earth was sweeping over him at high speed, yet he looked unperturbed.
At the same time, the name of the phenomena it was witnessing came unbidden into its mind.
‘Endless Plain!
It was a defensive skill that Aunsaurus liked to use with the Vitan’s Chalice. It was a variation on Vitan’s Maze where the nearby space was isolated. It was an unusual technique that prevented attacks for reaching the user.
When the hammer swung by Reygus was about to be brought down, something unbelievable happened. Suddenly, the distance between the two became vast, and it lost sight of Azell. Reygus had ran into a Dimensional Distortion.
Then a white bolt bolt of thunder came towards it.
The Dragon Maken was morphed into light, and the speed of the attack exceeded even the speed of thought.
This was a trap prepared by Azell. The Dimensional Distortion allowed him to divert his opponent. The distance created allowed him time to use the Heaven Splitter to gain control over light. This was the power of the Dragon Maken. In the past, Laura had used the same move to divert her trackers. He had lured Reygus into the location where he set the trap!
Reygus’ armor crumbled as the darkness contained within started to burn white. At some point, the thunderbolt had changed into a Flame of Purification, which was the bane of the Undead.
The Heaven Splitter had domain over all light, so it was able use any energy that emitted light. This was why it was possible to make this change. Reygus’ body, which had been like an unassailable fortress, received a critical hit.
“I’ve already ended this ill-fated relationship once! I’ll do so again! Let’s not drag this out, Reygus!”
The unlimited plain that had been between them disappeared as if it had been a lie. The two batants were back to normal distance. Reygus, who was in bad shape, glared at Azell. However, Azell couldn’t unleash his killing blow.
Ba-dump!
Something hazy appeared in front of him.
A transparent false image in the shape of a young girl appeared in Azell’s vision before it disappeared. Then a ball of fire exploded around him.
Hwahhhhhhhnk!
Azell immediately defended himself by surrounding his body with the magical energy of the flame. Reygus took time to right itself as it landed on the ground.
Reygus grumbled.
Azell became more vigilant as he looked as his surrounding. He couldn’t sense anything amiss. It had been a powerful enough magician to interfere with the battle between Reygus and him, yet there was no scent of magic left behind…...
‘What was it?’
Reygus spoke in front of the wary Azell.
