Chapter 244: Meeting of Nox
Chapter 244: Meeting of Nox
Shooting off the ground, I looked around in a hurry looking for any traces of the Sleeping Sin. Clenching my skull that was throbbing in agony, I fell once more, moaning, “Fuck, that bastard.”
Picking myself off the snowy plain, I sighed, “I am always getting the low end of the stick, but I need to find Lilith. I am getting a little worried. The only problem she is in a completely different world. “
Shaking my head, I narrowed my gaze. “I will wait till I use my soul connection. Something must of happen, and interrupting her could be dangerous.” I muttered in a worried tone.
Returning back to the camp, I smiled at the downcasted faces of the few fifty members. Many of them were still crying over their lost sect, holding pray to their gods, unknown that their souls were currently being tortured within my soul palace.
Shaking my head, I was about to enter my tent when my feet came to a halt. Turning towards the direction of the morning sun rising in the air, my armor flashed around my body. Suddenly my entire vision was consumed in a sea of darkness.
“Oh, Shit!!!” Confused about how I missed this. Darkness covered me as millions of bloody arrows rained over the lands.
‘AAAAAAAHHHHHH”
“ENIM~ AAHHHHH!!!”
<Arcane Gale>
Flashing dragonsbane within my palm, I protected myself as everyone around me began to turn into gore. Watching as someone’s head exploded, leaving only an eyeball and a pool of crimson cold sweat dripped over my neck as I pushed my arte to a higher degree.
“ATTACK KILL EM ALL!!!” a roar filled with bloodlust resounded, causing my eyes to open wide.
Staring at the almost endless streams of men and women of various races charging at us, I felt both confused in bewildered as the Sect Master’s roar entered my ears.
“DIE!!!!!”
Watching as a crimson light shot into the few thousand enemy soldiers, my eyes began to flash at the Marking of Valhalla they all held upon their bodies. Suddenly a large cloud of ruby red mist entered my sights as Aodhan held a massive great ax within his palms, raging his own war.
Watching real ax intent consume the land, I felt the hair upon my body begin to rise as he consumed the entire army in blood. However, three great powers equal in power began to rise, causing my brow to rise up.
Gripping Dragsonsbane, flashes of thunder and light began to take form around my body like serpents. Only using qi, I took a large step as I materialized deep within the heart of this army.
<Arcane Gale>
Moving my spear faster than it’s ever gone before, a river began to form as my movements held an almost robotic aspect to its style. However, as the seconds began to pass, the concept began to grow as my robotic movements began to fade into nature around me.
Order followed the rules, and the rules were what I wished them to be. And I chose for them to be the laws of Nature.
“KILL HIM!!!” Someone roared in both fear and hatred as I suddenly ducked at the sinister arch of the blade to my neck. Twisting my feet, dragonsbane suddenly shot into someone’s skull with impeccable grace exploding it into a mist as lightning suddenly exploded from my body, blasting those around me away.
Taking a chance to retake my stance, my body flashed into combat once more. Suddenly two emblems of light and thunder began to take form around my body, sucking endless streams of qi of heaven and earth away.
Since I was only using qi now, I needed to manage the amount I used, and with this crazy battle, I needed to manage everything.
“Release the Wyverns!!!” A roar sounded as the hairs upon my body began to rise; however, I still held my ground as I looked up at the massive battle in the air.
Watching the sect master battle three people all at once, I began to frown. This battle was not a winning one, and the only reason I stayed was to get some souls. It was annoying feeling weak. Although, there was a soft whisper within my soul. Telling me to stay, telling me I could take them.
“Abbadon re–AAAAAHHHH~”
Scrunching my brow, I hid my smile as I continued to battle suddenly; five large beams of flames shot towards me as I pointed my spear towards them.
<Combust>
Exploding into a sea of flames, I roared in laughter as hundreds were consumed in their own wyvern flames.
“Impossible he is at the first stages…I know you!”
“Halfdan, it’s him.”
“Arvid, Remfo call the Clan we have found Arsene Snow!!!”
Licking my lips, I could not help but below into cruel laughter as everyone froze around me. Suddenly the entire skies began to quiver as seven large emblems began to form at my will.
Cracking my neck, I stared at the sect master staring at me in shock, “No need to be surprised. Consider it you being lucky. You would have definitely not like the alternative. Leave, I shall handle this!”
Clenching his teeth, no one paid attention towards the fleeing sect master as the three men at peak nascent souls fell beside me. A hungry gleam present as the one name Halfdan spoke, “Arsene, we have been looking for three months for you!”
“Agreed, the Court has been quite dissatisfied with us! But there was a recent tip regarding your location,” another by the name of Arvid commented with a smile.
Licking my lips, I didn’t hold any fear as ashen flames began to consume my body. Suddenly blood began to rise, and the air began to grow stagnant at my will.
<Crimson Winds>
With swift decisiveness, my very flames began to grow even stronger as Soulforce began to take root within my body. “So you are with the Court of Nox, but tell me, who are you all?”
“Us?” Arvid, a man with azure robes, commented, “I forgot you are not of this holy realm. We are from the Aesir Clan.”
“Aesir clan, huh?” I hummed as scales began to grow from my body. ” So it seems you all are choosing to side with them.”
“Just give up, Arsene. We have an army of two hundred thousand and three peak Nascent souls. In comparison, you are but a weak Gate of Life and Earth realm. There is zero chance of you winning.”
Releasing a vicious smile, I could not help but chuckle, “Do any of you know what the War of Demons and Devils was?” I asked as a puzzled light flashed through many of their eyes.
“It was held by one of the three strongest races in creation, and I am one of them. This will be the ultimate test of my power.” I hummed as a powerful bloodlust began to rise from my body.
Taking out a few pills, I stuffed them down my throat, regaining lost qi as the air began to tremble. With traces of perspiration flowing down my chin before evaporating, I smiled. Death was here, and I was ready.
“Come at me!”
