Bloodlight Goddess Ru - Chapter 45 Chapter 45

Nassus was almost depleted of his energy for some reason. Zeran just scratched his head and stretched himself such as he was done having a work-out. It looked-like Zeran wasn’t serious in his look, as he was saying,

“Phew…that felt kinda painful…”

“I thought I was gonna die…”.

Though, Nassus wasn’t pleased of Zeran’s playful comment, so Nassus blurted-out like a pissed-off adult to the kid-like Zeran, turning the whole place to crack up in grave irony due to Nassus’s sudden change in composure, in which the tense waves in the area had ceased,

“ANYONE SHOULD’VE DIED FROM THAT!”.

Zeran replies,

“Like I said…I have my own trick on top of my sleeve…”

“Now…ready for round 2?”.

Then, he stanced himself in a sort of cool manner. His hand depicted a taunting action, such as it was telling, “come on, is that all you’ve got?”, amplified by a confident look. Sadly, Nassus was growing pissed of Zeran’s sarcasm, so Nassus casted out immediately,

“PENDRAGON BURST!”.

Zeran was struck again by the fast moving spiritual elemental dragons from the above once again. Though, as the destructive draconic energies had dispersed. Zeran was revealed with battered wounds but, he was just drinking a bottled orange juice. Soon after, his damages on his body were all gone and he felt refreshed by the quench of his beverage.

“OMEGA CRUSHER!”.

,as Nassus casted, while his blade was smashed unto the ground with grave force. Suddenly, molten white flames bursted from where Zeran was standing. It looked like Zeran was incinerated from the inside by the fountain of burning flames. As soon as the searing fire was gone, Zeran didn’t looked burnt at all, instead he looked-like he came out from a hot sauna, steaming out his sweat from his body, while he was drinking a mango juice this time. More than that, Nassus was feeling weaker and he was pretty much panting for air, due to his overconsumption of his own energy. Nassus looked at Zeran and asked while eating his own pride,

“Tell me…what’s…your trick…”.

Zeran responds,

“What if…I don’t want to”.

Sadly, Ru interrupted him and said like an excited teenage girl,

“Ooooh I’ll tell you…”

“Zera’s trick is…STOCKS OF FOOD, FORCED HUNGER and LAST HUNGER!”

“Even if you can lethally hit him…”

“He’ll just be able to withstand that with his LAST HUNGER, leaving him with like 1 HP?”

“Then, if he was able to withstand that…he’ll just eat food again to heal himself back…and the cycle continues…Rinse repeat recycle!”.

“And since his FORCED HUNGER is activated now…he can eat without getting full or fat!”

“A DREAM GLUTTONY COMBO!”.

Then, Ru clasped her hands after, as her gesture for ending her statement. As Mai heard Ru’s brief and detailed explanation upon Zeran’s funny trick, Mai comments with a sudden compliment with a haughty smile, that would prove she was impressed of Ru’s quick analysis,

“To think you were able to know his DIRTY trick that fast Ru…”.

As for Zeran, he felt nervous and he didn’t look that much happy of Ru’s analytical skills on his tactic, since it seemed she just told everything about his full blown strategy to Nassus, making him to blurt out with an irritated look,

“Ru! What in hells?!”

“Why’d you have to tell him that?”

“Whose side are you on anyways?”.

Ru bent and leaned her body for Zeran to witness, although his focus was set on Ru’s hanging bountiful breasts, since those were emphasized due to her posture. She responded like a teasing woman would, with her index finger touching her succulent lower lip,

“Ara? I’m still on your side Zera…”

“Even if I told that to Nassus…”

“It’s already too late for him…”.

Arseia was just closing her eyes, but she was wearing a funny smile as she heard Ru’s words. As Nassus heard Ru’s casual statements, he was infuriated to the top of his core, so he placed the barrier around the three Goddesses once again. Though, he noticed that Ru’s look unto him was very devious and sinister, as his end was already guaranteed. Nassus felt worried on top of his exhausted self. Zeran noticed that Nassus was already tired for some reason, so he scanned and took a glance at Nassus. Thereon, he saw the information saying,

[“IMMORTALITY: OMNI-SEALED”]

[“INFINITE ENERGY: OMNI-SEALED”]

[“INFINITE STAMINA: OMNI-SEALED”].

As he was finished taking-in the data about Nassus’s current state, Zeran closed his eyes and lowered his head. The air became silent, as he did a relaxing action. Sooner or later, he cracked out a smile full of confidence. He opened his radiant eyes and proved a determined look. Afterwards, Zeran brought out his golden claw and lifted it. Then, he depicted it like a powerful cannon and casts out,

“DARK BURST!”.

Thereupon, a dark molten and flaming sphere blasted out of Zeran’s cannon-like arm. The black sphere was heading straight to Nassus. Nassus wasn’t able to dodge it, since his feet was feeling weary from his exhaustion aswell, turning the blob of burning darkness to explode on him directly. There was a huge outburst of smoke afterwards. Though, Nassus still tried to pursue his last breath and immediately rushed at Zeran. Nassus swung his blade at Zeran. Though, Zeran parried it. The two were swinging their blades with great speed, exchanging strikes but, Nassus’s strikes were less powerful, making Zeran to resist and block most of them, without breaking a sweat. Zeran was now able to fight on par with his foe due to his accelerated speed and weakened down opponent. As he blocked and knocked-off Nassus’s next strike, Zeran found a close opportunity, so he punched Nassus through his stomach with an intense jab, turning Nassus to be dragged away for a few distance. Nassus tried to dish out another magical spell,

“CHAOS FLARE!”.

Somehow, nothing came out from his desperate spellcast, turning Nassus to be shocked with a frozen face. As Zeran witnessed the failed magical chant of Nassus, Zeran wore a sinister grin of a vile menace and said like he was a villain in the said story,

“Heh…run out of energy now, Hero?”.

Nassus wasn’t fazed over Zeran’s provocative comment to his sudden disadvantage, instead Nassus still stood up and persisted with his sheer desperation driven into his twisted ideals for some reason, as he said,

“Even if my energy’s depleted…”

“I’ll still crush you with all I’ve got…”

“GRAHHHHHHH!”.

Afterwards, Nassus swung down his weapon towards Zeran once again, but Zeran was able to overpower Nassus, so Zeran was able to hold down Nassus’s feeble attempt. Though, the ground was still cracking up and their blades were grazing in hotter hellfires, as Nassus gave it his all upon trying to decimate Zeran. Not only that, strong auras and forces were radiating around the battlefield such as the sparks of intensity were raging around the place. It seemed Nassus’s inner menace had been unsealed but, Zeran was still on his feet even if the monster had been unleashed. Their magical blades had been on contact for a long time and neither of them doesn’t want to give in but, Nassus’s blade memoria was leaking out more and more tears for her wielder, turning Zeran to feel some kind of pity for his opponent. Zeran had grown tired of their sheer lockdown on their powerful blades, so he kicked Nassus’s gut and grabbed the opportunity to cast out,

“DARK BURST!”.

Thereupon, Nassus was hit by another dark molten sphere of unstable flames from the abyss, turning the sphere to explode, as Nassus had contact with it. Soon, Nassus was flung away a for a long distance, due to the powerful explosion and due to his weakened self too. Nassus tried to get up yet, his body looked-like it was burnt from the crushing flames of the oblivion. His mouth was leaking out blood and his sleek clothes looked rugged due to their long-standing duel, in which he did not expect. While Nassus was still moving on his feet very slowly, Zeran grabbed the opportunity and let out another attack and swung his sword repeatedly, as he casts out,

“ABYSS SLASH!”.

Sooner or later, illusion-like blades seeped in the dark turbulence of the abyss came out from his sudden swings and those invisible blades from the shadows headed towards Nassus. Nassus’s vision and reflexes were getting weaker, so he wasn’t able to block and see them clearly, turning him to be the victim of the said illusion-like razors. Thereon, Nassus got lots of severe wounds from the fast-moving blades of stealth. His crimson blood stained the white floor. Nassus was almost beaten to the ground but, he doesn’t want to falter on his ambitions, so he went through his final resort and just tried to lash out another reckless strike to Zeran. In a split second of a flash of light, Zeran was able to flung away Nassus’s magical weapon. Nassus was left down kneeling on the floor afterwards, since he had already lost the duel. A little while later, Zeran pointed his Blade Memoria at Nassus’s neck. Then, Zeran said with a serious look on his face,

“Any last words? Hero?”.
for visiting.

As the battle was almost done, the atmosphere was seeped in sudden silence, as Nassus let out his final words to the victor of the said battle,

“Even if you’re just a weakling…”

“You have done what I couldn’t have…”.

Zeran sighed. The next moment, Zeran struck and pierced Nassus’s straight through his neck. Nassus’s mouth coughed out and gushed more of his deep blood. His whole senses were losing their function, as he was feeling that the maiden of death was taking him away. Soon, Zeran twisted his blade, while it was penetrating Nassus’s neck, turning Nassus’s life to be shut down once and for all. Zeran removed his blade and Nassus’s fresh corpse fell on the floor, crushing Nassus’s ideals and ambitions. There was a puddle of blood that stained the white floor, through his leaking body afterwards. Zeran took a final glance at the fallen Nassus. Thereon, Zeran said with a sorrowful frown,

“So long…hero Nassus…”.

The air of the searing battle was gone, as the lethal champion had fallen. Moreover, Nassus’s blade memoria had lots of cracks and then it disintegrated into the void. The mystical barrier that was wrapped around on the three Goddesses was gone, as the caster was finally destroyed. More than that, the golden cage poofed into nothingness, turning the three to be shocked and fell on the ground, lacking in grace. The three of them felt the agonizing pain of falling on their bums, making them to respond in their own ways.

“Owwww…”

,as Ru expressed with her twitching ears.

“Geez…”

,as Mai said with an annoyed look.

“That hurts!”

,while Arseia said.

Mai saw the fallen corpse of Nassus on the battered ground. She turned to look at the sitting Zeran eating a chocolate chip cookie from a few distance. There after, she said to him, with a haughty look on her face,

“Let me guess…you won…”.

As Zeran heard Mai’s comment, he stood up and said like he was a joyful kid who had won in a game,

“Haha! What else…”

“Now time to meetup”.

Suddenly, Ange emerged behind him and said in a snap,

“That won’t be necessary…fallen hero Zeran Noah Aether…”.

Zeran was shocked, since Ange appeared in a snap. Mai, Ru, Arseia and Zeran readied themselves and brought out their respective weapons pointing at Ange. Thereon, the heat of battle was starting to boil up again amplified by the course of the divine Goddesses this time.
