Chapter 738 - Absurdity & Mysticism-2
The giant ghost filled with concentrated power neared Athan, but the same thing happened when it touched the phenomenon around Athan.
It disappeared.
Everyone became shocked that such an attack silently disappeared.
"What are you waiting for? attack!" Deadsea union master spoke loudly with a somber expression, "we have three months, but we might not need that many! Even a Mythical powerhouse will not survive if we attack for three damn months with our full power!"
"Indeed. Let's do it!"
'I have a bad feeling, but we have to kill him. Otherwise, we will die once three months pass.'
'Sigh...I feel the same. I regret joining Deadsea to attack this person, but I don't have any choice now. Since I have ridden on the boat, I'll have to go all the way on it.'
...
"Three months...will Athan really not do anything during this time?" Reventas muttered with a sigh.
"Who knows? But we are in no position to do anything," Nukkil said with a wry smile, "all we can do is to watch."
"Does he have any family members in Orchos Firmament?" Yaokin of the storm asked.
"I don't know about any family members, but he was with someone when I first met him," said Reventas as she remembered that person and told them about it.
"Yokan...I have met his grandmother and father and know him since they've visited me a few times," Nukkil said with a nod, "but it's useless. They can't do anything about it."
"We can at least ask some information about Athan from him."
Suddenly, everyone exclaimed with utter shock and disbelief because...the powerful attacks of those twenty-five powerhouses failed to do anything to Athan.
Those attacks simply disappeared when they arrived near Athan and touched the phenomenon around him.
"CONTINUE! I am going to call in more powerhouses. Some will come out of curiosity, while some will come out of greed. But I will call them here," Deadsea union master spoke severely, "we can't let him live!"
...
A month has passed, and at this time, one could see two hundred and fifty-seven powerhouses gathered here, including Reventas and the other three with her.
Not just from Devil realms but from all realms and people from sixth and seventh Lerento also arrived here. The majority of powerhouses were from sixth and seventh Lerento, and the majority of them also came here with curiosity.
Humans, devils, vampires, dwarfs, hybrids, elves, all kinds of people, and each one of them was an Everlasting Legendary powerhouse.
However, after arriving, their greed was invoked by how mysterious Athan was and after hearing that he got something from the famous Simphoning Gale of Vitality Spectrum.
Naturally, not everyone attacked Athan.
A total of one hundred and eighty-three powerhouses attacked Athan and were still attacking continuously out of two hundred and fifty-seven powerhouses.
Something like this had never happened before, and this news was spreading like wildfire.
After all, even with continuous attacks of that many powerhouses, they couldn't do anything to Athan!
Somewhere in 7th Lerento...
"This is the case, Lord father. Should we go take a look there as well?"
A young man spoke as he bowed towards his father on the throne.
...
Gathering of hidden clans in main Devil realm...
"Interesting...let's go and take a look. I heard Reventas had been there for a month already.
...
Hidden clans of 7th Lerento...
"We should go there as well. I want to see what that thing is that managed to stay intact even after being continuously attacked for this long."
"I have the most powerful offensive Firmament Treasure with me. Let's see if that works on him or not. If it doesn't, then...we should probably run away quietly."
"What about Nex Booster firmament treasure? It can boost everyone's power to a new height. Last I heard, Nex Booster was in the hands of Kekarui Empire."
"They should be preparing to go there as well."
...
Time passed as everyone continued to gather inside the Vitality Spectrum zone.
Only five days were left before the three-month deadline given by Athan, and the atmosphere was very pressured right now.
The only sound was the sound of five hundred something powerhouses hurling attacks at Athan while one hundred powerhouses watched from the sidelines.
All those attacking had a somber expression on their faces and were feeling direness increasing every second.
"I...Fuck this; I am out."
"Me too,"
"Damn! Nothing is happening to him despite attacking him for so long. I am not staying here."
"Aren't you kind of curious about what will happen once he opens his eyes?"
"Curiosity kills, and it seems very true in this case. I don't want to stay here till he opens his eyes. I don't know his power, but we FAILED TO EVEN BUDGE HIM with so many of our full-powered attacks."
People who stopped attacking gave their opinions. In a minute, everyone stopped attacking, and those recovering their energy also sighed.
"Cough...he said that he will kill twenty-five of you if you failed to kill him in three months. That doesn't include us who came later...right?"
Everyone turned silent as they looked at each other.
But that silence was broken by a loud screech.
"L-l-look...he o-opened his e-eyes...," a scared stuttered left from an Everlasting Legendary powerhouse.
Everyone looked at Athan...who simply looked back at them with an indifferent expression.
Fear.
Terror.
Dread.
They've been attacking Athan for such a long time, and seeing no impact of their attacks on him; they were already unease. Their fears were accumulating, and those fears broke out looking at Athan, who had opened his eyes.
His abyssal eyes invoked such fear on them that it was like they were looking at their deaths.
Silence...
Nobody moved as their eyes just slowly filled with fear. An unknown fear also struck Reventas, Nukkil, and others as they looked at Athan.
The scene was horrifying in a way.
Six hundred something powerhouses were looking at one person floating crossed-legged, who was looking back at them with an indifferent expression with his abyssal eyes.
The strange phenomenon around Athan as black and white streams whirling around Athan in the grey aura around him, the symbolic patterns, his eyes...
Athan had turned unknown to them. They didn't know how powerful he was, and if he was this powerful, how could he stay here?
One powerhouse gathered courage as he activated his power to teleport away.
Athan's eyes flashed as he used evolved Voracious Doom Pull ability.
When Athan's eyes flashed, a terrifying beastly mouth materialized right in front of the person who was trying to teleport and devoured him. That mouth destroyed his body entirely, but that person's soul entered Athan's void region directly from that beastly mouth.
Everyone felt fluctuation of his power clearly, but...the next second, that person's aura disappeared utterly. Dead!
All they saw was a disappearing beastly mouth when they turned to look.
Looking back at Athan, who was indifferently staring at them, their fear reached a new height as all thoughts of escaping disappeared from their minds.
"So..." Athan spoke, his voice increasing everyone's heartbeat a notch up, "everyone wants a piece of me, huh?"
Athan stood up from his sitting position and just floated with hands behind his back as he looked at everyone. His eyes gleamed with black and white bolts as he spoke, "don't think about running; it will only result in your deaths."
*gulp....*
