361 Showing His Strength

“But the essence itself is difficult to use,” Ray thought as he concentrated on the Yagdrassil staff in his hand. Just by holding the staff he could feel a refreshing feeling coursing through him. It was a passive characteristic of the Yagdrassil staff and Ray was currently benefitting from it. It made his thoughts sharper and clearer, letting him think at a faster rate than before.

“I guess that could be done,” Enlightened about something, Ray smiled as he stowed the staff away. He would need it later on as what he intended to do would require another weapon. A weapon he had fondly used in many battles fought.

Raising his hands, the space around his fingers crackled as shards appeared mid air. There were a total of thirty five shards. All shaped the same while the same essence coursed through them.

The stronger Ray got, the more Void Shards he was able to extract out of himself and with the current transformation, he could use a total of thirty five Void Shards at once.

After all, the Void Shards were made up of his own bloodline essence and acted like a second limb for him. A limb he controlled with ease and proficiency.

“Transform,” he called out lightly as the shards in his hands merged together, taking the form of a huge Bastard Sword. The sword was as wide as his body while almost as long as he was. It looked comical as he held the sword but he didn’t care. What he wanted right now was pure destructive power and the sword gave him just that.

It’s wide blade and the length it offered him was more than enough for his purpose and holding the sword in his hands, Ray felt it fitting his current transformation very well.

He was still flying in the air while the sword swayed in his hands.

“Hehe, its going to be fun,” He muttered as a pulse of mana coursed through the sword, lighting it up in the process as soon after, arcs of electricity coursed though it.

This was Ray’s simple yet effective way of infusing his sword with most destructive element present; Lightning. The small arcs of lighting weren’t effective alone but when hit with them consecutively, the effects piled up and caused a lot of problems for the enemies.

Ray had used this strategy for as long as he could remember and he was proud of the fact that the strategy never failed him and this time, he was even more sure that the strategy would work as Ray had an inkling that the tree and the demonic presence it held was weak to lightning.

“That is to be seen though,” he thought as with a flap of his wings, he turned into a purplish streak and got closer to tree.

Meanwhile,

The stalemate between the tree and Ray’s mother kept on going but for some time now, Ray’s mother noticed a difference in the tree’s attacks.

“It’s as if it doesn’t want to attack me right. Like it’s focused somewhere else,” thinking this, she scanned the tree with her system and as soon as she did that, her eyes widened as she cursed, “Fucking Asshole,”

Shouting, she flew back as fast as she could because the very next moment, a demonic light erupted from the tree. The reddish beam of light went in the sky as it followed Ray’s mother like a honing missile.

Along with that, a change occurred at the tree’s canopy. The fire burning over it stated to subside as some sort of unnatural being appeared on top. The being was the same that had appeared before, it eyes crimson and two horns on its head. Its whole body was pristine white, as if made of marble while the crown on top of its head floated like it usually did.

One would mistake the person to be some sort of angel descended frost he heavens but one look at his eyes and the expression on his face made it obvious that this thing was no angel.

Glancing down, his eyes peered through the distance as Sirius’s slashing figure appeared in his vision.

“How annoying,” he thought and raised its hand, trying to aim at Sirius’s head; a reddish energy appeared over his hand.

“Not so fast Asshole,” the air whistled as Ray’s shout reached the man’s ear. Looking up, he saw a purplish streak coming right at him. His senses were triggered but it was too late to dodge. Ray was already too close to the man and the only thing he could do was to suck it up and withstand the attack.

“Boooooommm!!!” A shockwave spread after the collision as the man’s figure was sent flying back. In his place stood Ray with his arms flaying limply in the air, the sword floating in front of him.

“Take that sucker,” Ray had a smile on his face as he was sure that the previous attack albeit having pulverized his arms, had done even worse to the man he had hit.

At the moment of contact, Ray had estimated that man must have broken around half of the bones in his body while the bones in his arms must have been turned to dust.

“Humph, lucky bastard. I didn’t get to hit his head,” Ray snorted as he turned and looked at his mother evading from the red beam of light. By now, the intensity of the beam had reduced by a good margin and his mother was almost done evading.

Not long after, Ray saw the white figure approaching him again. His skin was bruised while his hands were turned at an unnatural angle. Looking at him, Ray stifled a laugh as the man really looked comical but Ray controlled. Who knew if angering the mean would only get him in more trouble. The man was way stronger than he was and the only reason he was able to send the man flying was because he was careful and meticulous.

If he had not used a very heavy weapon and concentrated all his strength in that one strike, the man could have very well blocked his attack and made good use of Ray’s situation. 𝑛𝑶𝑽𝐞𝑙𝞰𝖾xt.𝐜𝑜𝓂

Also, from the impact, Ray estimated that the man was weak in physical combat while being exceptionally strong for magical melee combat.

“He does uses others to attack while staying at the back,” Ray thought as the man finally stood a few paces away from him.

The man’s face was twisted in rage and from the looks of it, the previous attack had only injured the man but hurt its ego even more.

“This is gonna be hard,” Ray thought and glanced down, seeing Sirius still attacking the tree. By now, the tree had a lot of indents spread across its surface as from some of those indents, he could observe a slight crimson fluid dripping down slowly.

“It’s working, i need to buy him more time,” Ray thought and then glanced to his right. His mother was back and her eyes were shining with anger. She seemed to be really pissed at that previous attack and was now back to get revenge.

“Nice form mom,” Ray called out at her flaming figure as his mother smiled and then replied, “I’m sure the tree wouldn’t say,” Smirking, she looked at the man and raised her hands. A slender sword of fire appeared in her hand as she held it tightly and looked deep into the man’s eyes, her stance clear on the fact that she wont hold back anymore.

“Ray, keep up with your old mom,” saying those words, her figure flashed and a sword strike was seen in the air. The next moment, another came and then another. Soon, the whole sky was full of sword strikes, all aimed at the man.

Seeing this, Ray simply smiled as he brought out the big guns right away. His mother would deal with the man, he would help Sirius out but from above.

One would attack the base and the other would shake the top.

Ray turned into a beam of flames as he appeared over the canopy. Unknown to him, the flames on his wings burned brighter as they spread over to the canopy and the vegetation over it started to burn.

Ray obviously didn’t notice it as he was busy winging his sword at the branches that branched off directly from the trunk, attempting to cup the canopy thin and then making his way down to the trunk.

While Ray and Sirius attacked, inside the trunk; Elina explored another space all together. It was like a small dungeon inside and from what she guessed, there seemed to be some sort of space enlargement formation that increased the space within the trunk.

“How strange,” Elina thought as she sensed multiple energy signatures within the trunk. Following Emma’s directions, she made way towards the signature that belonged to Aella and soon enough, she saw Aella in front of her.

But what she saw didn’t make her at ease at all, instead it scared her even more.
