Chapter [331] FINAL STAND!
Hiroto POV:
[Slay the Demon, Oh Golden hero.]
I can hear it.
*CLANG*
The voice…
*CLANG*
[DIE YOU HUMAN.]
*CLANG*
Of the Spear…
*CLANG*
It"s not the same "You are worthy" I always heard...it is different!
*Clang*
"AHHHHHH!"
I roared, I let out a roar that was both my pain and my joy.
My pain from using this Technique to make my broken body move forcefully…and my joy from finally hearing the voice of the Ame-no-Sakahoko!
[RAAAHHHHHH!]
Did Azlan share my joy? Or did he respond to my roar? As our weapons clashed there was a smile on my face. Yes…This is how it should be.
The holy power of the Ame-No-Sakahoko clashed with Azlan"s chaos and repelled it back, but that chaos also repelled me back.
I expanded the [Heavenly Armament] even more, I grit my teeth as hard as I could but even then blood seeped out of my mouth.
[Fight for your kind.]
The Spear said.
[I will ease your pain.]
The pain, The pain that would kill a man dozens of times disappeared as I felt free.
The armament shone a golden hue as Azlan stepped back to avoid the Light of the Spear.
[Hmph!]
He grunted and manifested multiple whips made of chaos flames from his back which made their way toward me.
[Go forward, Hiro.]
"Yes, I shall."
I responded to the spear and moved straight into the countless whips that moved like a fierce storm.
"HA!"
I let out another roar, fervor filled my mind as soon as the pain disappeared and I smiled. A fear-inducing smile because of my blood but a smile nonetheless.
?????, ???????? ???? ???????? ?? ???????????? ???? ????????...
This was it. This was my power.
"Hahaha!"
[You madman!]
Indeed! Like a madman, I jumped into the forest of the chaos whips and made my way toward Azlan.
Using the Ame-No-Sakahoko I severed those whips and got closer and closer.
[Left.]
The Ame-No-sakahoko warned me of the impending attacks and I could dodge them without worry.
[Ragh!]
A breath of chaos filled my vision, but I did not fear. I had my spear with me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[HEAVENLY SKY SPEAR.]
[FIRST MOVEMENT]
/HEAVENLY THRUST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thrusted with my spear, and the first movement collided with the breath of Azlan.
Both forces kept themselves at bay, their power so great they terraformed everything around them!
I jumped high up, and because of the power of the Heavenly Armament, I jumped as high as the clouds.
"HAAAAA!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[HEAVENLY SKY SPEAR]
[SECOND MOVEMENT]
//HEAVENLY SKY MIGHT\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Azlan"s eyes widened as he saw a giant version of the Ame-no-Sakahoko in the sky. The Giant Spear possessed a golden hue and made its way towards Azlan, splitting apart the heavens to make way.
[ALL OF YOU! OUT OF THE WAY.]
He yelled at his subordinates in the area to evacuate the area, He stomped on the ground and released a wave of chaotic Flames that carried his subordinates far away.
[COME!]
[Skill: HONOR OF A DUKE(SSS) has been activated.]
[The power of chaos augments your strength.]
As if he already wasn"t big enough, Azlan"s Figure grew twice its size and flew upwards.
He regenerated his injured body and roared as he charged at the descending golden spear.
[ARGH!]
He grabbed the forked spear blade of the Ame-no-Sakahoko and tried to stop it.
The power of the Ame-No-Sakahoko burned his hands, Azlan concentrated his Chaos flames on his hands and tried to stop the descent of the spear, but he could not.
[argh!]
He grunted as he landed on the ground, still holding the forked blade.
The ground beneath him caved due to the power of the spear.
Azlan coughed up blood and used another skill.
[Skill: Strength of a Duke(SSS) has been activated.]
[Your strength has increased greatly.]
ARGH!
With his increased strength, Azlan finally brought the spear down.
The large body of the spear was brought down in front of him, and a large crater was formed as the ma.s.sive golden Spear Dissipated.
Azlan saw the human clad in Golden Armour charge toward him again, And He roared once again.
[Skill: Chaos Rend(SSS+) has been activated.]
He swung his sword and a crescent slash of Chaos energy went towards Hiroto, who responded in kind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[HEAVENLY SKY SPEAR.]
[THIRD MOVEMENT.]
///HEAVENLY REDEMPTION\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A crescent slash of Holy power and a slash of Demonic Power clashed with one another.
Their Golden and Purple energies distorted the s.p.a.ce when they made their way toward one another, but the cla.s.s itself was even more destructive.
[Hah….Ha…]
Azlan gasped for breath.
As the collision between the Holy power and Demonic Power kept the Hero occupied, he took in the surroundings…
They were losing…the demons were losing.
The other two that he was fighting before were destroying the demon army.
[...that mage is still alive…barely.]
He was shocked, he thought he had ended that mage"s life but that d.a.m.ned mage was unlike the rest. He was still alive…albeit barely.
But the fact was…he was still alive and wreaking havoc among the demonic army and buffing the Human forces.
His generals were being pushed back by the countless S-Rank humans and that b.l.o.o.d.y berserker human who wielded a sword even bigger than him.
[...we are losing…]
He concluded when he saw the state of the invasion….
The aircraft from the sky fired down bullets of lead enhanced with mana-like rain…the lightning from the skies disrupted their ranks and killed major amounts of demons…
[...]
Azlan"s body bled, and his eyes bled as he saw his kin being killed helplessly.
[...retreat.]
He announced.
But the demons could not hear him, his weak voice was drowned by the sounds of war.
He unleashed another chaos rend to keep Hiroto busy.
[...no…]
He saw his younger brother, the second to succeed him get helplessly thrown around by the d.a.m.n berserker.
He pulled him back using a whip and augmented his voice using mana.
[RETREAT! I, AZLAN ORDER ALL DEMONS TO RETREAT.]
"Brother, we can still fight!"
"Duke! Let us a.s.s-"
[DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?! I ORDERED YOU ALL TO RETREAT.]
He used a large portion of his remaining strength to open up a portal back to the abyss.
[GO WHILE I CAN STILL HOLD THEM BACK.]
He roared, preparing to die today.
[Skill: Authority of the Duke has been activated.]
The demons began their retreat. Azlan opened up a large portal to the demon layer using a large portion of his strength and ordered them all using a skill.
"The demons are retreating!"
"CHARGE! KILL THOSE b.a.s.t.a.r.dS!"
The human forces charged forward, filled with fervor.
The aircraft let down all their weapons, and even the lightning of the Ame-No-Sakahoko increased, all to kill his kind.
[Whether it be humans…or even The heavens…]
Muttered a weakened Azlan.
[YOU DARE?!]
Do they dare to attack his kind? When they are retreating?
He will not let them.
[Skill: WRATH OF CHAOS(EPIC) has been activated.]
He swung his sword in his rage, the power of chaos left his blade and decimated the human forces, their aircraft fell to the ground.
[Even the heavens dare not defy my Abyssal might!]
He declared as he fired a breath of chaos into the sky.
Lighting gathered around to oppose his breath, but Azlan did not relent.
His breath cleared the skies, it defeated the lightning and then split the skies apart. The storm stopped and Azlan"s breath only increased in power. He decimated more aircraft but his onslaught was stopped by the Sword Saint, Arken.
Arken dug his sword into Azlan"s neck! Azlan"s breath stopped and his games increased and torched Arken but even then Arken did not back away. Even if his body was being scorched by the chaotic flames, he continued to dig his sword even deeper
[f.u.c.k OFF!]
Azlan used his tail to knock Arken away. He fired a chaos blast at the burnt body of Arken and made sure he could not fight anymore.
[I will kill you for sure this time!]
He was about to use a chaos Rend to split Arken in half but was stopped by a pillar of light that descended from the skies and burned him alive.
?? ????????, ???????? ?????? ?????????????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ???? ??????????!
His fiery visage dissipated the light but Azlan fell on his knees.
Hiroto"s [Heavenly Redemption] hit him in the back and left a deep wound on his back but he fired ten chaos blasts at Oliver.
"Kill the duke!"
"Kill those demonic b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!"
Azlan fired chaos blasts continuously, trying to give the demons a chance to retreat.
The humans concentrated their attacks on him after they suffered severe damage from his chaotic blasts.
Just like he wanted.
Whether it be from the skies…or the land…the attacks did not stop.
A myriad of skills attacked his injured body. They would not have injured him normally…but they dug into his wounds and caused more damage.
He fired off breaths, chaos breaths, and rends until he could not anymore…the last of his strength was depleted…
His knees buckled…But he did not give up. The attacks from the humans had stopped…but then.
"Let"s end this!"
He looked at the sky, where the Golden Hero was present, gathering his power to unleash a final, ultimate attack.
[COME!]
Azlan ignored his body, which was on the brink of, death, and looked at the sky at the hero and gathered everything he had left…for one final stand.
[I shall die today…]
He knew it. He would die today…BUT!
?? ?????????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ???????? ????.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[HEAVENLY SKY SPEAR]
[FIFTH MOVEMENT]
/////HEAVENLY SKY SPLIT\\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Azlan also unleashed his ultimate attack.
