Chapter 59 - Calsus Enters the Fray!
Chapter 59: Calsus Enters the Fray!
“Get ready to move.”
“Should this Red Dragon escape, our operation will be considered a failure.”
Calsus looked at Max, who was already in the air, and stated coldly.
His two greatswords were already in his hands.
As he spoke, all sorts of complicated patterns began to light up on the claymores.
A razor-sharp sword aura, with Calsius as the center, was unleashed.
This sudden burst of the sword aura instantly stirred up a strong hurricane.
As a result of the sharp sword aura, Gallio, who was standing beside Calsus, had his hair flutter violently. In fact, there were even quite a number of strands which had been sliced off due to Calsus’ sword aura.
“That’s terrifying…”
“How far has Lord Calsus pursued the path of the sword…”
While looking at his hair that had been cut off by Calsus’ sword aura, Gallio could feel his heart begin to palpitate.
The gaze he used to look at Calsus had also become much more solemn.
Prior to submitting to the old king, Gallio was an enemy of Calsus. Had he not surrendered and quickly submitted himself, there would likely be a huge battle between Calsus and himself.
Gallio asked himself, ‘Why on earth did I think I was on equal footing with this monster back then?’
‘The power he displayed from a casual swing has already Felix’s Fiery Fist. Had we really fought last time, he would have used an even more intense ability, right?’
Naturally, Calsus was unaware of what Gallio was thinking at this moment. His attention was solely devoted to preventing Max from escaping the area.
As for why Max was unaffected by Gallio’s jewel array, Calsus had chalked it up to Gallio messing it up. It was for this reason that Max had resisted its temptation.
“Gallio, I will discuss the matter of you messing up the Array of Jewels once we return.”
After speaking those words, Calsus’ figure suddenly vanished.
All that remained was a fleeting mirage.
Calsus’ was so fast that it made one’s hair stand on end!
“Sir Calsus, I can still catch it. You need not make a move!”
Sensing the Sword Aura that was unleashed some distance Away, Felix immediately realized that Calsus had made a move.
“You have already lost when that Fiery Fist failed to kill the Red Dragon in an instant.”
Calsus’ voice suddenly rang out from beside Felix’s ear.
However, when he turned around, Felix did not see any signs of the commander!
Countless cross symbols appeared in the sky at this moment.
A figure was continuously using these cross symbols as a springboard to quickly pursue Max.
“It’s over, little dragon.”
Calsius’ voice appeared in front of Max in less than ten seconds.
Calsus’ appearance had indeed given Max a fright.
After all, how did a human who was unable to fly appear in front of him?
He was 600 meters in the air!
Even the Dragon-vanquishing Arrow was unable to reach him at this height!
The next instant, a glint of cold steel suddenly swept at Max from his side!
Sssscreeech!
Max’s dragon scales unexpectedly let out an ear-piercing sound of metal colliding against it. Soon after, his scales split open and Calsus’ greatswords had inflicted a great deal of damage to his sides.
Max was shocked at his injury.
Calsus’ figure slowly approached Max.
Calsus looked down at Max as if he was already looking at a dead object.
“Surrender here, and perhaps I’ll make your death painless.”
Crackle!
Magic: Thunderclap!
A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in front of Calsus!
It had struck Calsus precisely.
However, Calsus seemed to have anticipated the lightning. He lifted his right hand that was holding onto a greatsword to the sky and deflected Max’s attack.
Calsus’ eyes twitched, and while squinting at Max, he said slowly.
“My name is Calsus Madeleine Kuros. I am the successor of light and sword magic. Everything will return to nothingness. Everything will be meaningless. Everything will be destroyed. Everything will return to the embrace of light!”
“Little dragon, let me give you a taste of real magic.”
“Divine Parting.”
Calsus’ voice suddenly resounded through the world as the environment around Max vanished into nothingness. All that was left was a blinding light.
The light that was initially warm gradually heated up, and before long, it had become unbecome extremely hot!
In the next moment, a huge light sword formed in the sky. It was like the Sword of Damocles that judged the sins of the world.
Max was suddenly overwhelmed with a great sense of danger.
This was the biggest threat he had faced apart from being in the egg ever since he transmigrated.
His usually calm heart began to thump violently.
At this moment, Max could already feel the call of the Goddess of Death.
“Ding dong!”
“The host is facing a huge threat!”
[ Host Max, the human, Calsus, has unleashed the magic, Divine Parting on you. The system has determined that based on the host’s current physique, taking on this attack would result in an immediate loss. In the face of such a situation, please make your choice. ]
[1. Puny human, do you really think that you can hurt me with this spell?! No way! No way! ]
[ Ignore the attack from the human, Calsus. Reward: increase the probability of death by 1,000% . Acquire skill: Language of Death: Dark Sacrifice! Immediately after death, transfer all of the host’s strength to the host’s sister: Mia. ]
[ 2. I can easily intercept this attack with my Lightning Breath. I don’t even need the system’s help for this. ]
[ Counter Calsus’ spell with your own ability. Increases the probability of death by 500% . Reward: obtain Language of Death: Undead Calamity, immediately transform into an Ancient Undead Dragon. Choosing this will result in the disgust of the Mother Goddess, Tiamat. ].
[ 3. Tahir aside, this is the strongest human enemy I have ever faced! ]
[ Face up to your own weakness, and make use of all possible opportunities around you to survive! Reward: Invincible Golden Body enhancement, can be used three times in a row, but after each use, the cooldown time of the skill will be greatly extended. ]
Max quickly skimmed through the system’s options and chose the third option without an ounce of hesitation!
“System, I choose the third option!”
