Chapter 357 - The End and The Beginning
Souta ended Curdova"s life.
Curdova"s heart was filled with anger and hatred against the people that oppressed him. He was actually a good person but life suddenly turned against him. They blessed him with a child that could hold the church treasure. It was a blessing but cursed at the same time.
With that, his life turned upside down. From being loved by the people of his country, to being a notorious criminal.
It wasn"t a rare case. Every day people suffered in this world and there"s no answer to that.
He sighed and felt his body getting heavy. He was too exhausted and already reached his limit. He did his best and he couldn"t muster any energy in his body.
He was lucky that the cards of his system didn"t have a backlash to his body. If it wasn"t provided by the system then his condition would be much worse.
Just by using the best feram could already bring him grave condition... Lucky he had, One-time Best Feram Card and One-time Gluttonous Blessing Card.
Other people didn"t recognize these energies but Saya who was closed to him could name all the energy that he used in this body. After all, Souta concentrated all the energy in the vajra sword on his last attack.
Except for her energy, she could sense the best feram, power of blessing, and soul power. All of these boosted his strength to a higher level making him able to fight the incomplete metallic figure.
Well, Saya didn"t ask him about it. There"s a time for asking about it and she will eventually learn it in the future as she was always with him.
At this time, the two nuns of the church arrived at the scene. They observed Souta with a curious expression wanting to know what he did in the battle to gain such fearsome energies.
Safi wanted to ask Souta quickly but Yuni held her back while shaking her head.
"Let them talk for a while. It"s their victory." Yuni said to Safi.
"Okay." Safi nodded her head. She then continued to watch them from a distance.
...
Alice, Lumilia, and Cl.u.s.ter approached Souta.
"How are you, Souta?!"
They quickly asked him with a concerned look on their face.
"I"m fine." Souta waved his right hand and looked at Cl.u.s.ter. He said, "I"m sorry, I killed your family member."
Cl.u.s.ter shook her head and wiped the tear forming in her eyes before she replied, "No, you don"t have to be sorry Brother Souta. Everything that happened here is my fault."
"It"s not your fault. Still, that man could be considered as your father. You came from him and the same blood flows in your vein." Souta explained to her.
"No, you"re my family. I only met that man twice and he didn"t treat me as his child." Cl.u.s.ter said.
Souta stayed silent as he patted her head. He didn"t know what to say anymore. He was glad that he managed to rescue her.
"Sorry, Souta. I don"t have enough mana to heal you." Lumilia said.
"It"s okay. I can handle it." Souta smiled as he looked at her. He then noticed that the two nuns were watching them.
Hmm...?
Yuni smiled and said, "h.e.l.lo," she then approached the group with Safi following her from behind.
Lumilia and Alice turned and they observed the two nuns.
"Sister Yuni... Sister Safi..." Cl.u.s.ter said when she saw the two. She naturally recognized these two since she was from the church.
"Have you had your fun roaming around in the world?" Yuni asked Cl.u.s.ter with a smile on her face.
Cl.u.s.ter just lowered her head and didn"t say anything.
"It"s fine. I"ll talk to-" Yuni didn"t finish her words as she opened her eyes widely and jumped away.
"Dodge!!" Safi said as she also jumped away and the mana fluctuation rose suddenly.
"What?!"
Alice reacted too as she pushed Lumilia and Cl.u.s.ter away from her.
A large energy spiked up and a black sphere appeared on the center of the field. The black sphere expanded quickly and it caught them off guard.
Souta tried to move away but he just didn"t have enough strength. He was too slow at his current condition and have of his body got caught up in the expanding black sphere.
"d.a.m.n!"
He cursed and he tried to break out of it but he found that he couldn"t pull half of his body away inside the black sphere.
"Souta!! Alice!!"
When he heard Lumilia"s voice, he quickly looked around and saw that the black sphere also caught Alice. Her right arm and foot were inside it.
"Don"t come!! Just stay there!!" Souta shouted at them. Problem just kept popping up left and right and it won"t let him rest.
"That"s a [Dimensional Hole] spell..."
Yuni muttered as she narrowed her eyes. She recognized the black sphere of energy with her vast knowledge from the great country.
Lumilia turned to Yuni who seemed to know what"s the black sphere.
"A [Dimensional Hole] spell is a type of teleportation spell but only a few people used it because of its nature." Yuni paused for a moment before she added, "It"s too unconventional, unlike the common long-distance teleportation spell that people used nowadays."
"How is it different from the common long-distance teleportation spell...?" Lumilia asked while looking at Souta and Alice with concern in her eyes.
"It"s a one-way ticket to the other side of the spell. It has a long casting time and a huge amount of mana needed. Aside from that, if there"s no designated place then it"s going to teleport the people inside it to any place randomly." Yuni slowly explained. She then added, "Don"t approach it if you don"t wanna get end up the same."
"Lumilia. Cl.u.s.ter. Just stay there and don"t approach us. We"re gonna be fine." Souta said to the two.
"Yes, we"ll do something about it," Alice a.s.sured them.
The black sphere didn"t stop expanding at all. It was still expanding but at a much slower pace.
Yuko then rushed towards her master as the black sphere swallowed them. It expanded and her body went inside it before the black sphere shrunk down. And it disappeared completely without leaving any trace.
"Brother Souta! Sister Alice! Yuko!"
Cl.u.s.ter shouted as she reached out her hand. Lumilia simply closed her eyes and hugged Cl.u.s.ter.
...
In the south edge of the Giza Continent, the capital of the Listen Wastes, the Gromatoli City. Not just the Gromatoli City, in fact, every city was experiencing something in common.
Every citizen of the entire country was looking up in the sky with their mouth agape and widely opened eyes. They couldn"t believe what they were seeing.
"What...?"
"What is that?!"
"Oh my G.o.d!!"
Countless huge whirlpool of energy was forming above the sky. Each whirlpool has a diameter of 500 to 700 hundred meters. These whirlpools of energy literally covered the energy sky above the Listen Wastes.
At the capital... The three G.o.d-level powerhouses of the country were looking at the largest whirlpool of energy in the entire country. The three of them had a grave looked on their face as they felt enormous and ominous mana coming out of it.
"It"s a [Greater Dimensional Teleportation] spell..."
They were G.o.ds and have knowledge that surpa.s.sed mortals so they knew what these whirlpools of energy.
The whirlpools of energy were in fact a gate, a portal, or a door.
At that time, everything and everyone in the city came to a sudden halt. In the mid of the silence, what appeared before their eyes was...
What came out was something that will bring chaos to this continent... It will disrupt the lives of countless people living in this land.
Ohm!
Countless humanoid creatures clad in thick and powerful mana came out of the portal. They have different characteristics and appearances.
Some had black wings and tails.
Some had various skin colors and eyes.
And some just looked dangerous the moment they saw it.
A man wearing black armor with golden linings came out of the largest whirlpool. This man had two pairs of grey color horn sticking out at the side of his head and a pair of black wings on his back. He was standing on the head of a hundred-meter large black dragon.
"Leader of the 23rd army of Great Demon Emperor Lucifer"s army. I am the Demon Pillar, Thoral De Vaguan."
This is the end of peaceful life and the beginning of the chaos.
