Chapter 567: Sudden Change In Weather
All Zergeref could wonder as the reddish arc traveled forward in a vertical format was why his vision was split into two halves and why his body was disintegrating.
He managed to get one more look at his body and noticed the blue electric arcs were turning one side of his body to ash as they travelled across it.
From Gustav"s point of view, Zergeref had been split into two halves, with parts of his body tossed sideways by the immense wind and force of the strike as they disintegrated.
A two hundred feet long gash had been left on the ground, around ten feet deep.
Another building had suffered from the residual energy and had parts of it crumbling down again.
The electric arcs had blasted ma.s.sive holes across the ground as they travelled forward.
Gustav, who had landed on the ground earlier, stared at his right arm and noticed it was gone.
He held his right shoulder area and groaned lightly in pain as blood oozed out like crazy.
His regeneration was fast, but this kind of injury would still take some time to heal.
Gustav jumped to his feet with a painful expression written on his face, but then he sensed something.
Fwwhiiii! Fwwhhii! Fwwhii! Fwwhhii!
Multiple people arrived on the scene, and he found himself surrounded in a few moments.
Gustav looked around the encirclement and planned his way out, but then he noticed that every single one of these new arrivals we"re almost as strong as Zergeref. He has wasted so much time battling with Zergeref and even got himself injured.
He had no idea how he would be able to battle six more people close to his level of strength with an injured body.
Gustav picked up the Jiko Hakai katana with his left arm and put it in his storage device, knowing he wouldn"t be able to wield it for the second time if he didn"t want to get his left arm disintegrated as well.
More and more troops arrived and encircled him from all areas.
"So Zergeref got killed?" One of them voiced out from the side with a surprised tone.
"This guy must be pretty strong," Another one voiced out from the left.
"Looks like he didn"t end him with no damage either..." The one directly in front of Gustav pointed gestured at his right shoulder as he spoke.
They spotted the missing right arm and saw fresh blood still oozing out.
Trrah! Trraah!
Two lightning bolts appeared in the sky and in the next moment it started raining again.
Gustav looked up and stared at the rain, "It"s time..." He said Internally as the group prepared to attack him.
All this while, A skin-tight protective layer of energy had been covering Sahil while he was strapped to his back. Even with all the blasts and hits from residual energy and the number of times Gustav landed on his back, Sahil remained unharmed.
Gustav reckoned that so long as a powerful attack didn"t outrightly come into contact with Sahil, he would be okay.
"Now hand over the boss and we can kill you quickly instead of going through a rough painful death," One of them voiced out as they tightened the encirclement.
"Okay," Gustav responded affirmatively to their surprise.
They all paused in their steps staring at each other with a look of confusion.
But in the next moment...
Boom!
A loud explosion went off in the distance, far behind, causing everyone to turn around and look in that direction.
It was so far away that they had no idea what had exploded, but they could guess that it wasn"t a small issue due to the intense blast.
At this point, a smile appeared on Gustav"s face as the wind blowing across the vicinity suddenly turned weirdly intense.
About sixteen lightning bolts suddenly appeared in the sky, all at the same time astounding everyone.
The region was already thrown in a state of panic before this, and now it was even worse.
Brrrr! Brrrr! Brrrh! Brrrh!
A blaring alarm went off as the weather turned weird across the region.
Trrraahh!
A thunderbolt landed right in front of Gustav, causing a scare in the vicinity as everyone jumped back. Smoke spread across the vicinity and what came next was a whoos.h.i.+ng sound.
"Hey, he"s escaping!" A shout was heard, causing all of Sahil"s henchmen to be alert as they stared in a particular direction before giving chase.
Fwwooo! Fwwooo! Fwwooo!
The rain turned extreme at the point, falling like a waterfall was opened up in the sky.
They all struggled while trying to move forward as the weather became more intense.
Giving chase to Gustav, some of them managed to start closing in on him due to his decreased speed, but as time went by, the visibility of the environment reduced more and more, and they were barely able to see in front as the heavy rain and winds threatened to blow them away.
About a minute into the chase, a loud sound was heard from the west, causing them to turn their heads with looks of astonishment.
They noticed a tornado headed in their direction. It kept gathering more and more intensity as it travelled forward, increasing more in size and pulling everything in the vicinity towards it.
As if this was not enough, they heard the same sound behind and noticed that thousands of feet away, two more tornadoes were swirling towards them with intensity.
These tornadoes were a good distance apart from each other, but if they kept moving forward, they might end up clas.h.i.+ng and merging into each other to create something even bigger, and at this point, they were thousands of feet tall.
The group saw buildings being ripped from the ground as the tornado swirled towards them. The henchmen of Sahil panicked as they witnessed these three tornadoes tras.h.i.+ng around.
Multiple thunderbolts with different colors appear in the sky.
Trrraahh!
A scream was heard as someone in front got struck down by lightning and blasted across the place with a nearly disintegrated body.
