Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 135

Everyone, no exception, poured every bit of spiritual energy into the barrier. The latter grew in golden light but then, strange yet beautiful patterns began to form. The color changed to ocean blue and everyone in the barrier could tell the barrier had some changes.

They were the best among the best, they knew the barrier’s properties and attributes greatly modified to something more powerful and durable.

Looking at the one who did this, Haru and Yeanne were impressed. Their bad impression of Narukami decreased considerably.

Hikari did not form any expression whatsoever as she made sure the barrier had no flaw, she strengthened it too.

Aware of this, Haru and Yeanne follow suit. They did not want to be the burden. They all thought it was Narukami in a mask but this scene proved them wrong and taught them a rather valuable lesson.

“Just who is this person? He changed the structure of the barrier itself to something new and complex. Even Armageddon’s attack is futile!” Yeanne exclaimed excitedly.

Earlier, she was prepared to die here. It was a pleasant surprise that this happened. She did not know who to thank.

Her god? The mysterious person? Hikari? Or all of them? The answer was obvious.

“What kind of barrier is this?” Armageddon was flabbergasted. He knew many abilities, even the lost ones which only a particular individual knew but He never had seen anything like this.

How could he not? The barrier scanned the attack was, including its property, attribute, main element, pretty principle, and flaw.

By scanning these, the barrier adjusted itself so it could block His attack. Such a barrier was overpowered and a cheat! It was a barrier that could block any attack!

“How did that bloodsucking woman have such a talented and gifted descendant! This kid is dangerous to me, I must eliminate him this once!” Armageddon felt fear he had never felt before. It had been a long time since he felt this.

“Despair Technique: Neutralize!” Armageddon combined His arms as he shot out more than dark purple laser beams.

They approached the barrier from every direction before hitting it.

“Hand Gesture: Unfathomable Barrier,” Narukami’s voice was as calm as the breeze of the sea as he swept his arm from his right to the left.

While doing so, his arm flickered with golden lightning.

After which, a new barrier, which was a golden barrier, was formed as another layer. Protecting the ocean blue one.

The dark purple beams hit this barrier and the latter flickered as if a lightbulb was about to lose its energy to exude its glow.

Then, the blue barrier established a connection with it by extending a blue line to it.

Quickly afterward, the golden barrier returned to its state as the flickering effect cannot be found.

“It went back? But I see it myself, it’s about to fade out!” Yeanne was bewildered.

Haru put on a serious expression as he pondered before coming up with an answer:

“I see! So that’s how it is! The golden barrier won’t disappear as long as there’s the blue one. Other than the golden one protecting the blue, it also absorbs the spiritual energy of any attack! It then transfers the absorbed energy to the blue one so it stays active so the user can drain his spiritual energy a little more than it needs!

“In other words, that mysterious person is using less of his spiritual energy by absorbing Armageddon’s attack! Not only could the barrier last longer, but the user also does not have to worry about draining their spiritual energy dry!” Haru ended his speculation with his voice intensified.

“But why didn’t he add that effect to the blue one?” Yeanne pondered after she accepted Haru’s logical theory.

“The reason is that the barrier has already reached a threshold. If he added more effect, the barrier would become unstable,” Hikari replied.

Yeanne nodded as she understood.

“Everyone, attack!” Narukami suddenly yelled and they were startled. But experienced fighters they were, they quickly heed to his words.

The barrier opened up a path and the trio left as they launched attacks. Narukami stayed in the barrier as he maintained it.

Although the barrier was overpowered and looked like a cheat. It was hard to keep it! He could not allow himself to wander his mind or lose focus!

Once he did, the barrier would vanish and he would get a flashback.

A battle cry rang out in the air as the trio combo attacked Armageddon. The latter blocked and parried their attacks.

And every time He tried to attack them. They retreated to their barrier! It was hard to injure them.

Exploding lights like fireworks in the sky. Both beautiful and terrifying. The ground shook every time they exploded, a shockwave was produced as the powerful wind swept the surrounding area.

The trees got separated from the root as they got blown away.

Using the hit and run tactic, they break through the stalemate as Armageddon slowed down as he used his abilities more slowly and move slightly decreased.

Although their attacks were nothing and avoiding the damage was a trifling thing to do. His spiritual energy nevertheless decreased. He was in a vessel with a limited amount of spiritual energy.

No matter how boundless it was, running out was still possible and so, Armageddon had to find a way to end this.

His organization, His people, and His plan were destroyed. There was no way he was going to come back empty-handed!

Diverting His focus to Narukami, Armageddon had an idea but felt it was too risky. The other gods might come into His place and have a chat with Him.

Though, where there were risks. Benefits followed.

In the next moment, Armageddon launched an attack that repelled everyone to a great distance.

Scream spread out in the air. Three figures were like shooting stars as they got blown away.

Haru landed on the ground and formed a long ditch before slowing down as he stopped.

He knew the situation was grim as he realized Narukami was left unguarded! He was the only one there! Hikari and Yeanne had the same fate as him.

It would take time for us to help that mysterious person and most likely… he’s already dead. No, I must come to him as soon as possible! Haru was dejected at first but then, he remembered when Narukami single-handedly blocked a god’s attack.

Haru owed him and it would be too much of an embarrassment for a Blessed to owe a human!

Swoosh!

Haru shot out the air like an arrow as he left a two-meter-deep crater and web-like cracks. Dust filled the air where he was earlier.

“Your friends are all gone. Now you’re mine.” Armageddon smiled as he stretched his neck to left and right, letting out cracking noises.

Narukami carefully deactivated the barrier as it was useless. The dome-shaped barrier faded out before vanishing completely.

“Don’t you think it’s too arrogant of you to think you’ve already won?” Narukami asked.

“It’s not arrogant but a sign that I’m confident in killing you. Tsk, that bloodsucking woman is truly in luck.

“She has a descendant as talented and gifted as you. Unfortunately, you’ve met me. I’ll kill you in exchange for what she had done to me. Maybe she will choose to become a god for revenge,” Armageddon smiled devilishly.

“She? A god? That’s the funniest thing you’ve told me. She won’t be one and doesn’t have the reason to. She lived long enough and was tired already,” Narukami responded.

“Did she tell it to you?” Armageddon pondered.

“Of course not, knowing her personality. She hates showing her weakness to others, no exception to her family but I can tell by spending time together with her. She had enough,* Narukami replied.

“Hmph, she’s someone with great ambition. What do you know, human?” Said Armageddon with a cold snort as He did not believe it.

The quote, the one who knew the best about you wasn’t your ally but your enemy was suitable in this scene.

Armageddon understood what kind of personality Narukami’s ancestor had and her line of thinking.

“There is one thing you don’t understand. As a god, you lost the sense of time. Thousands of years are no different than minutes.” After Narukami said so, his figure vanished but Armageddon was calm.

In the next moment, Narukami appeared from behind. Strange, however, he did not come at him to attack him.

“Different from us. Although my ancestor is a vampire with a long lifespan and a lost sense of time, it’s not as bad as you.

“She still feels the changes in this world. She still feels the impact of this world that changes quickly.”

Armageddon turned His body around as He frowned, “What is your point?”

“My point being, people change. Armageddon.”

He then paused before laughing maniacally.

“Ahaha! She changed? That bloodsucking woman who knows nothing but blood and war? She changes? Unbelievable!” Armageddon swept His arm from right to left in denial.
