Chapter 119: Dreadful Encounter With the Demon Lord Narazar (3/3), Death Play (2/2)
Aleron actually wanted to disappear at this moment and enter the secret realm, but a strange feeling gripped his heart and he figured out why.
Because even if he decided to escape and teleport into his Eldertide Archipelago, he would still be slower than Demon Lord Narazar's attack, that tiny orb in front of his finger.
The moment he activated the rune, and initiated teleport to enter the portal, he would be struck by Narazar's attack before entering.
Narazar wanted Aleron to attempt escape because if Aleron did that, his control over the barrier would decrease by splitting his focus in that brief moment and he would be able to inflict more severe damage on Aleron.
Fortunately, Aleron also realized the trick and stood his ground, his focus entirely on his defense. Only after Narazar attacked and he survived would be able to enter the secret realm.
Yueha was safe and she knew that as Narazar himself spoke, so she focused all defense on Aleron instead of herself.
'Master...'
"It seems that you don't want to escape," Narazar's expression turned indifferent as if he labeled Aleron as someone he could disregard now. "Well then, see you soon because I am coming here with my main body and you won't be able to do anything to prevent that." Narazar's body briefly shone in a mere instant as his avatar lost the last bit of his power to keep it maintained before the attack in front of his finger struck Aleron's barrier.
*Phisss.....*
It instantly shattered Yueha's defensive measure before piercing 80% of Aleron's barrier as he felt an overwhelming power breaking his barrier.
"Arghhh!" Aleron's eyes shone brightly as he poured in Magilore to resist the attack while blood oozed out of his seven orifices. 'What is this?!'
"That is one of my signature Savant-grade skills-Piercing Desolation. Good luck defending that and surviving, so I can kill you properly when I come here."
Aleron registered the words, but his entire focus was on defending, which was getting futile each microsecond. The feeling of death loomed in his heart just like when he fought against Akuma.
'Damn it! I am not dying! I can't defend, but I can survive!' Aleron's eyes glinted.
Meanwhile, Narazar disappeared.
Yueha stood on tethers with her fist clenched so much that her nails dug into her palms, "Master..."
She wanted to help, but couldn't do it. 'I am so useless.'
Her tears streamed seeing Aleron resisting the attack that was getting closer to him. A mere moment's carelessness and he would die.
This was also why Yueha didn't dare do anything, not even uttering a peep in fear that it would distract Aleron.
'You can do it, Master! P-Please...you can do it.'
Aleron resisted with his full power and he could also feel the powers within this attack.
'Death element...darkness element...soul force...and this strange power that's increasing piercing power...it must be conceptual power.'
Aleron's body started decaying from the attack's effect as the orb was clashing against his almost-destroyed barrier.
However, the Primordial Genome Whisperer's power source had given him quite a powerful healing factor that prevented his body from decaying fast despite the massive difference in statistical power of his body and Narazar's attack.
He was turning his Magilore into holy and healing power to counter the orb, but it wasn't proving very useful due to his low magic potency in comparison to the attack's magic potency.
Narazar didn't hold back in the slightest as a moment of carelessness against his attack would lead to to Aleron's doom.
Gachapi wanted to say something and lend a hand, but Aleron was accessing his Magilore source at full throttle, so Gachapi also didn't dare to do anything, not even speaking as Aleron was fully focused.
'I can't entirely avoid this attack with teleport, I can't defend against it...I can only prevent myself from dying,' Aleron understood why Narazar said he might not be able to kill him.
His eyes turned fierily determined as he decided on the risk because there was no other choice if he wanted to stay alive.
The attack was aimed at his head and it had soul power, so his soul would also get killed if he died.
As such, he could only keep the damage to him minimal.
In the next instant, Aleron's body burst out with power, not to defend, but to redirect the attack.
Instead of resisting the attack, he led downward so his head wouldn't get hurt.
He knew that the chance of death was high even if the attack didn't hit him in the head as he wouldn't be able to disconnect from its effect that would affect his body.
As such, he could only sacrifice a part of his body.
*Shreeesh!*
The attack struck at Aleron's belly as he redirected it, and the moment it struck him he released his focus from everything and initiated teleport just for the upper half of the body.
*BOOM!*
A loud explosion occurred in a compact area, not even hurting Yueha even a bit as if this attack's area of effect was limited.
Aleron's lower half of their body was obliterated and his upper half body appeared fifty meters away according to his teleport.
"Master!"
Yueha rushed towards Aleron and quickly grabbed him, however, her heart turned cold upon seeing that Aleron's body was entirely littered with dark green and black cracks, sustaining
serious injuries.
His consciousness was barely active, so he hurriedly initiated another teleport while activating the secret realm rune and both of them entered Eldertide Archipelago.
...
"Wonderful," Elysia grinned from ear to ear, his eyes glinting with fiery light. "Aleron Rivenal...that power in your body, what the hell was that? How did you get a source of that
kind of body path's power?"
"It doesn't belong in the lower cosmos!"
She was excited to the point of showing a hint of madness.
'Body path's power source of that caliber....that's a good ticket to progress fast and reach the peak of Ascension-rank in body stats...and more depending on what power he has.'
Clenching her fist, she resolved, 'I must use him since I can't extract that power source as it
would disappear if I kill him.'
'Aleron Riven, you better use power and show me more of it.'
Elysia grinned.
'Sorry, Narazar. You are not as attractive, so your attempt to conquer this planet will once
again result in futility.'
Alas, just like she had her plans, and Narazar had his plans, someone else also had some plans.
Davin Lusterbind, the 28th-ranked Warlord.
His plans were to get his hands on Elysia's hot body and bloodline, to make her his cultivation slave for his progress.
Upon seeing that Narazar had made his move, he wasted no time in meeting up with him to lend a hand...nay, not a hand, but a few of his fingers.
Amidst all the schemes and plans, Aleron would have to make careful and powerful moves or
he would become no more than a pawn.
in the secret realm, Yueha quickly contacted Enorin, wanting to use her Divine-rank bloodline's power to heal Aleron.
"Master..." Yueha's tears flowed out seeing Aleron's terrible situation. He was alive but in terrible shape with an injured soul.
[A/N: Ayo dear readers, Aleron is in trouble. Y'all should participate in the event and lend him a hand by creating an exotic banner pool ya know? xD]
