Chapter 155: Reaper
Chapter 155: Reaper
The Soul Forging existences of the Magi World did not hesitate and the moment they passed through the portal they made the power inside them explode, making the natural energies around them go haywire, and they released their Law Avatars.
The Law Avatars of the nine Magi adopted all sorts of forms according to the laws that they had comprehended.
One of them took the form of a swarm of giant insects, another was an ocean of acid and there was one that created thousands of ghosts.
Some people did not have their Law Avatar around them since due to some special characteristics of their Path Technique, they were able to use them to induce metamorphosis in their bodies.
One of them took the form of a four thousand meters man of steel and the other was a giant infernal wolf with two heads that had chains constantly moving all over his body.
Of all nine Law Avatars, there were two that were giving a significantly greater level of power. They were the ones created by Totto and Zitra.
Unlike his usual friendly and relaxed attitude, Totto’s aura was extremely cold, and his eyes were emotionless.
His Law Avatar took the form of a skeleton humanoid covered in a black robe that generated a black fog around him. There was nothing special about the face of this skeleton beside the fact that his eyes were pure darkness and seemed to affect the soul of those who saw them.
The avatar was fifteen thousand meters tall and there was a power around him that was able to affect the air, making it wither.
Totto had used this Law Avatar to fight and kill a great number of Rank 4 individuals and with the pace of the years, it gained the title of Reaper.
Unlike the terrifying aura of the Reaper, Zitra’s Law Avatar was much more harmonious, thanks to the balance it generated between her laws.
Her Law Avatar took the form of what could only be described as an ocean of light, encircled by shadows.
Even though the Law of Light and the Law of Shadows were opposing each other, they were able to work in conjunction, increasing their power.
Although one side had fourteen Soul Forging existences, composed of nine Angels of Supremacy and five Angelic Paragons, and the other had nine Rank 4 Magi, the strongest party was not the Heavenly race.
The members of the Heavenly race were suffering from a relapse of the injuries they took during their fight against the demonic horde, and the worst part was the energy that Heinz attacked them with remaining in their bodies.
The beams of sword light used the powers of the Law of Blood and the Law of Sword to infiltrate inside them and ruin their bodies. But the worst part was that it carried the immensely destructive power of the Law of Killing, and when it comes to offensive might, there are very few laws more powerful than it.
As for the Magi side, they were all on their peak condition with their energy pool to the fullest, and in case anything went wrong they could always run into the force field that was right behind them.
Realizing the immense danger of their current situation, all the members of the Heavenly race understood that staying and fighting will only lead to their ruin so without hesitation, they tried to escape.
The Soul Forging existences of the Magi World noticed their attitude and attacked with immense ferocity. Their attacks carried certain urgency, but there was also a crafty light in their eyes as they fought.
The sky shined with explosions of all colors as the two sides fought, one chasing, sending attacks filled with killing intent and the other escaping, using all types of defensive spells, and trying to counterattack when possible.
Zitra and Totto, each were taking care of two Angelic Paragons, making the fight of the other seven much easier.
Even though the two of them were very powerful, they were only able to do this thanks to the deep and severe wound of their enemies, after all, an Angelic Paragon was very powerful.
Zitra’s opponents were an Angelic Paragon with wings made of blades and another with wings made of fire. Their Law Avatars took the form of thousands of blades and a storm of fire.
In Totto’s case, the Law Avatar of his opponents took the form of a massive tornado and a meteorite.
From Zitra Law Avatar hundreds of swords made of light were being fired every second, with an impressive speed against the weakest of the two Angelic Paragons.
Even though their power was not great, their combined force was incredibly threatening so the Angelic Paragon made his Law Avatar form a shield of blades in front of him as he flew away.
The blade shield was constantly trembling as the swords of light clashed against it, but it was able to resist the barrage which made the Angelic Paragon sneer as he looked at Zitra and continued escaping.
“As expected from a mere beast!”
But what he did not notice was that every time one of the swords of light crashed against the blade shield, an imperceptible shadow trespassed it and they started to accumulate on the other side.
Zitra’s expression has been of complete calmness ever since the battle started and not even when the Angelic Paragon mocked her did it change.
When the shadows on the blade shield had accumulated long enough, she channeled the power of her Law Avatar, making them transform back into swords of light that attack the unprepared Angelic Paragon.
The power in the sword of light had decreased, but their speed remained the same and in an instant, they reached the Angelic Paragon who could only cover himself with his wings and defensive spells.
Thousands of cuts were made on the Angelic Paragon’s body and as Zitra was about to continue her attack, a torrent of fire with immense power charged at her.
Facing the danger, Zitra narrowed her eyes as she focused on the Angelic Paragon that sent the attack, before making the shadows of her Law Avatar cover her body.
The fire reached the shadows in a second and it destroyed them without any resistance, but when the Angelic Paragon with fire wings saw this, his face became solemn and his eyes widened as he saw Zitra appear five hundred meters away from the attack.
“The Law of Space!” The Angelic Paragon could not hide the shock in his voice as he realized the way she had dodged his killing move.
Zitra’s comprehension over the Law of Space could not compare with Heinz, but by using her Law Avatar to transform her body into shadows, she was able to teleport to a safe distance.
Killing intent filled the eyes of the Angelic Paragon as he understood what this means. Someone so young having such a great comprehension over the laws means that in the near future she will become such an immense threat the same as the swordsman that defeated the Duke and severely harmed all of them.
He knew that such threats must be eliminated as soon as possible, but unfortunately for him, he was unable to do it now. So once he saw that his comrade was safe he continued escaping.
Seeing the two Angelic Paragon focusing all of their power on escaping, Zitra eyes shined, and she continued chasing them but this time her attacks were using very little of her energy.
Totto’s fight against the other two Angelic Paragons was not any less impressive.
His Reaper was constantly clashing against the meteorite and tornado, and despite the great power in the two Law Avatars, after every encounter, they started to wither, forcing the Angelic Paragons to use more of their energy to reforge them.
After one of the collisions between the skeletal hand of the Reaper and the meteor, when the Angelic Paragon was using her energy to fix her Law Avatar, there was a backlash from the energy of Heinz in her body, which paralyzed her for a moment.
It was just an instant, but in a fight between Rank 4 life forms, it was more than enough for Totto to land a devastating blow.
The blue flame in Totto’s eyes glowed intensely as he focused all of his power on the Reaper and raised his hand.
The Reaper made the same movement and from its skeletal hand, and a dark and ominous aura was fired against the defenseless Angelic Paragon.
The aura reached her body immediately making her grow older as if hundreds of years were passing in a matter of seconds and her skin was starting to rot.
But that was not all, as a monstrous fear had invaded her consciousness and paralyzed any attempt of her to fight against the withering power.
When the other Angelic Paragon saw this, rage and determination filled his eyes. He started to burn his life force to increase his power and made his tornado clash against the Reaper, severing its connection with the aura harming the woman.
The Angelic Paragon stared at Totto and the killing intent in his eyes was immense, but instead of continuing attacking he went to the woman and used his energy to stabilize her condition as they flew away.
Totto did not show any reaction to the Angelic Paragon’s killing intent, but when he saw that he was completely focused on escaping with the woman, his eyes narrowed and sent a message to Zitra.
“It’s time.”
