Chapter 482 I came, I saw, I obliterated
"What are you gawking for? Let"s run away already!" Sir Xote said as he began flying away. He seemed to have ignored the fact that he was currently in a battle, making him look like a cowardly person. "If we stay here for any longer, we will die!"
"Die? Why will we die? Can that dark figure kill us?" General Glaivewood replied with a scoff, as if he found Sir Xote"s claim as ridiculous. "Just like what you said earlier, this man is only at the Sixth Stage. There"s nothing that he can do to even slow us down!"
"Idiot! I only said that because I thought this dark figure is just a mortal who"s trying his best to become an Abyss Monster. But now that I discovered that he"s actually the Abyss Envoy, it changes everything!" Sir Xote replied hurriedly as he looked back at General Glaivewood. "Since this dark figure is the Abyss Envoy, he… can do things that will f**k us up! So if you don"t want to be implicated, we better leave already!"
"What? But what can he really d-"
"When an Abyss Envoy reaches the Sixth Stage of Power, the Abyss Realm will reward that Envoy with 3 powered strikes! In this case, since we are in a mortal world, the Abyss Realm will reward the Abyss Envoy with 3 strikes that are at the power of a Half-Step Transcendent Being!" Sir Xote said as it let out a hiss. "Do you understand what that means now?"
"!!!"
"Yes, even if the Abyss Envoy is only at the Sixth Stage, since he has been rewarded by the Abyss with 3 attacks that are as strong as the attack of a Half-Step Transcendent Being, then he can use those 3 attacks to f**k us up! No, he actually needs only one attack to mess us up!"
"S**t, if that"s true, then we should immediately retreat!" After saying these words, General Glaivewood immediately glanced at his allies, with his eyes full of conviction to help them.
But before the general could give his warning to his allies, the rift that had been channeling Abyss Energy since earlier began to make another change, which effectively interrupted him.
This time, there was no more Abyss Energy that came out of the rift.
Instead, a mechanical voice akin to that of a robot came out of the rift, with its words clearly heard by everyone nearby.
[[CONGRATULATOINS ENVOY FOR REACHING THE SIXTH STAGE. AS PER THE AGREEMENT CONTRACTED IN THE ABYSS PROCLAMATION, YOU SHALL BE REWARDED WITH THREE ABYSSAL CATALYSTS. EACH ONE CAN RELEASE AN ATTACK AT THE LEVEL OF A HALF-STEP TRANSCENDENT BEING. ENJOY THE REWARD AND WORK HARDER FOR THE ABYSS]]
"Thank you Abyss for your generous help. I will be putting it into a good use." The Abyss Envoy replied, with his body still squirming form the changes done to it earlier. The 7-colored pillar above him began to glow merrily as he said these words, making it obvious that he was plased with what he just heard.
[[AS PER THE AGREEEMNT CONTRACTED IN THE ABYSS PROCLAMATION, MORE REWARDS WILL BE GIVEN ONCE YOU REACH TRANSCENDENCE, ENVOY. DO YOUR BEST TO REACH THAT STAGE.]]
"I will be taking that in mind, Abyss."
[[GOOD. THE ABYSS IS PLEASED WITH YOU. KEEP UP YOUR EXEMPLARY PERFORMANCE.]]
"Noted."
"Tha-that"s the will of the Abyss itself! So it really is true! Only the Abyss Envoy can catch its attention!" Sir Xote exclaimed as it did not stay on its spot anymore. It was already flying away from the area of their battle, with one of its appendages dragging General Glaivewood with it. "F**k you Alex! So you actually had something like this hidden on your sleeves! Argh! Why does it have to be you who caught the attention of the Abyss? It should have been me!"
"Sir Xote! I think you should not be making any complaints now. I think it will be better for us… to find a way to defend ourselves." General Glaivewood lamely said as he began sprouting defensive s.h.i.+elds all over his body. "Even if there"s still nothing happening, I can feel it coming right now. I can feel… the certain doom reaching us!"
[[GOODBYE, ENVOY. THE ABYSS HOPES TO SEE YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE.]] The mechanical voice disappeared once it said these words, bringing the spatial rift back to its peaceful state.
But just as the rift settled down, three crystalline objects suddenly shot out within it, with these objects flying straight towards the Abyss Envoy.
These three objects looked exactly like each other, with their diamond-like body and ebony-colored surface appearing similar with one another. Their sizes were also of the same magnitude, with them having the size of an avocado.
What"s more intriguing however with these crystals were the malicious aura that they emitted.
The aura that was released by these crystals was so potent and hostile, that the the aura of the energy flood and the 7-branched tree from earlier appeared to be nothing more than just petty annoyance.
In fact, everyone who witnessed the appearance of these crystals began to have the urge to end their own lives, as if the presence of these crystals were enough to make them lose their will to live!
Even the powerhouses were affected too, with the likes of Malthus and Supreme Puppet Ray forced to stop by the presence of the crystals. These people appeared to be trying their best to resist the maliciousness of the crystals, which they were only barely able to do.
Obviously, Sir Xote and General Glaivewood were in the same dilemma too.
"Argh!!! Those crystals are the Abyssal Catalysts! If the Abyss Envoy gets a hold of them right now, he will use it to kill us all! F**k!" Sir Xote exclaimed as the crystals flew straight towards the Abyss Envoy"s waiting hands. "General Glaivewood, I"m sorry to say this, but I think we should burn some of our lifespan to get through this ordeal. If we don"t, then we will be dead meat!"
Sir Xote"s timing of his demand could be said to be extremely precise, as right after he said his words, the accelerating crystals reached their destination.
"Plop." The Abyss Envoy caught the three crystals deftly with his two hands, making everyone stop with bated breath as they waited for what will happen next.
These crystals, which had been acting like unruly thugs earlier, were now acting like docile kids, with their malicious aura restrained inside their bodies. They seemed to be even fawning towards the Abyss Envoy, something that the Envoy seemed to have been ignoring.
"I came, I witnessed, I obliterated." The Abyss Envoy, whose voice now sounded like rough sandpaper, said slowly as he grabbed one of the crystals with his left hand. This crystal released its malicious aura once more at this point, with its focus directed on the area that Sir Xote and General Glaivewood were flying in.
"!!!"
Naturally, both Sir Xote and General Glaivewood panicked upon seeing what was happening, with their hearts having the same sinking feeling right now.
With the aura of the crystal focusing on them, both the generals realized that out of all the people that he can target, the Abyss Envoy was actually targeting them first.
"F**k! So he"s actually serious on using the first strike on us? F**k this s**t!" Sir Xote thought angrily as the crystal on the Abyss Envoy"s left hand began to explode into millions of fragments. The release of these fragments were accompanied by the release of a menacing laughter, something which made Sir Xote"s mind turn blank. "Why, why are you targeting us? You should target the Supreme Puppets that are attacking your allies! They are much stronge-"
Nothing else could be heard from Sir Xote at this point, as a ma.s.sive blade strike had materialized and razed the area that they were in. The s.h.i.+elds that General Glaivewood had prepared earlier were just like paper in face of this blade strike, leaving both the generals at the mercy of this attack.
No sounds of pain could be heard from the two generals as the blade strike landed on them. Their existence, along with their thoughts and ambitions, were all disintegrated by the blade strike into nothingness.
The only thing that were left on their spot was a piece of bone, which a tentacle from the Abyss Envoy quickly collected.
"One strike down. Two more strikes to use…."
