Supreme Monarch - Chapter 254
“You— you Bitch! How dare you do this to me! Me! I’ll kill you! I’ll rip you apart ”
—Stuck in the human shaped trench deep inside the massive crater hundreds of miles away from the Darknar forest.
Voke roared in anger as an ominous oppressive and powerful aura exploded from his body, sending Rain— whose feet was still planted on the back of his head— flying in the air as she had to use a flight spell to stop herself.
“Tsk! So he managed to save his life by releasing his true demon form. Well whatever, I wasn’t satisfied with that ending anyway.”
A demon’s true form could be considered as something like a life-saving skill due to its crazy regenerative and healing effects by consuming one’s own life force.
Technically speaking, a demon could recover or save his life from any type or kind of grievous wounds or injuries just by unleashing its true form for only a moment.
However, this was not something that was easy to do as even being able to control one’s true form was beyond the capabilities of most demons as it was near impossible to control much less activate for only a second.
Watching Voke— whose head had been crushed by her only a moment ago— squirm around as his both morphed into something unsightly. Rain could sense his reasoning and consciousness fading away rapidly as he lost himself to his rage and kept roaring on the ground like a beast.
The oppressive aura that surrounded him began to wrap around him tightly as it transformed his body into something else. His black armor seems to mix in with his flesh, giving his skin a dark shade as large curved horns grew from atop his head.
His eyes glowed in a wicked and savage light as he continuously roared a thundering roar that caused the earth around them to shake violently. It was clear he was rapidly losing his mind and could no longer formulate a rational thought.
“Unacceptable.”
Rain proclaimed as her figure disappeared in a cloud of mist, by using the skill she had learned from her sister, she appeared behind the Voke— whose figure had grown considerably during his transformation.
Standing more than 15 feet tall with muscles practically bursting from every inch of his person. In and instant she reached his wide back and plunged her blades into the rhomboid muscles on his back.
A jolt of lightning ran from her body through her blades and almost electrocuted the mad behemoth. Paralyzing him for moment as Rain used that opportunity to alter the Fate of this creature.
She was unable to change Fate but could alter the possibility of fated results using Fate Manipulation. She also couldn’t alter the fates of people stronger or equal to her and even though Voke had lost his reasoning and was an easier target to manipulate. She still had to weaken him for a moment to attain any significant results.
*Gwaaa! “—You Bitch! What have you done to me! I’ll kill you.”
While the possibility of Voke losing his mind to his true form was lowered. The outcome was inevitable and the only reason she had done that was to get back the chance of killing the arrogant bastard that had insulted her beloved.
Letting him die on his own while she was forced to deal with his dead flesh only meant he would get away with insulting her beloved.
As she said, there was no forgiveness even in his death. What she seemed was the an indescribable pain, followed by absolute destruction.
Regaining his senses and noticing Rain still perched on his back with her blade plunged in him, he quickly tried to throw her off but she instantly vanished.
Sensing her jump off him backwards, he quickly gathered a ball of dense energy on his hands and tossed it at her projected destination with immense speed.
As Rain’s feet were about to touch the ground, they sank into her own shadows like a shadow rogue, and in the next instance, the ball of dense energy impacted with the ground, creating an explosive impact that decimated a radius of more than a 100 meters.
“Where are you! Come out you brat. Weren’t you confident in yourself just a moment ago. Get OUT HERE!”
Noticing she hadn’t been hit by his attack, Voke roared furiously trying to draw Rain out as he condensed more energy in his hands.
“Trying to provoke an assassin, how foolish.”
He had completely failed to sense her approach as she shot out of his very own shadow, planting her knees on his jaws in an impact that had almost shattered his very skull.
Her physical strength alone was insane as his true form was almost harder than even the hardest metal in this world and she had shattered his jaws with just her knees, lifting his massive body into the air.
As someone that could not feel pain due to pain immunity, the agonizing feeling he felt now could only be described as a torturous blight being inflicted directly to his soul.
“Y-you, you bitch… s-stop—”
To inflict direct damage on the soul was not something anyone could just do especially to a demigod of the same level yet that was what happened. His mind was overwhelmed with a screaming pain and almost drove him mad as Rain figure caught up to him and a lightning-infused ax kick came crashing down on his head.
Sending him crashing back down as he slammed headfirst into the ground.
*BOOM!
“Max magic – Chaos Dragon Lightning.”
Even with the agonizing pain from his very soul, Voke tried to stand back up as he knew staying down would only grant him despair but his legs had practically betrayed him as he could only turn himself around to see the floating figure of the dark elf as Lightning danced across her body.
With a cold glint in her eyes, Rain stretched forth an arm towards Voke as purple lighting jumped off her fingertips in the shape of a roaring dragon and smote the immobile behemoth, who could not stop himself from screaming in the utmost pain and terror.
One of the effects of the God tier artifact in her possession was to infuse all her other attacks, be it magic or skills, even physical attacks with soul destruction attributes that slowly chip away at the target’s soul.
Frankly, she could completely disintegrate the souls of a weak being with a single attack but needed more time the stronger her opponent became.
What Voke felt now was the agonizing feeling of his soul being ripped to shreds by the chaotic dragon lightning.
“Impossible! NOOOOOOO… This can’t be!”
Finally driven to his limit, Voke practically broke as he unleashed all the force of his soul. Avoiding instant death for the chance of destroying his opponent.
He would quickly burn through his life energy and die soon after but he no longer cared as long as he could kill this dammable elf.
Shattering the dragon lightning around him, he shot up and immediately lunged at Rain with a speed three times faster than light.
“DIE!”
*Boom!
He had missed.
Even though he put all his energy into that last blow and had moved faster than ever before, he had still failed to even touch her as she swiftly avoided his punch and disappeared.
•Perfect Invisibility•
His senses were also unable to locate her as he tried to find her but even in his true form, he could not even sense her presence anymore.
“Y-you BITCH! Where the fuck are you!? Stop hiding and face me! I’ll kill you!”
Panicked by the fact that he was going to die without getting the satisfaction of killing this broad first, he screamed at the top of his lungs trying to provoke her yet again.
This was not his first time facing an assassin as he has a hobby of tormenting the dark elves so he was very adept at seeing through invisibility and sensing hidden presences.
As a Demigod himself, there wasn’t anyone that should be able to completely hide from him so he didn’t understand how she was able to do this.
“Fine then, if you won’t show yourself. I’ll destroy you and everything around.”
His figure began floating out of the deep crater as his body began to glow and his aura rapidly increased. It seems he planned on releasing all of his remaining energy in an explosion that would wipe out everything in more than a 100-mile radius.
Such a massive range would surely affect the Undead army and most likely injure other representatives from the other Great Five which would cause problems for the Alcar family but it seems he wasn’t thinking straight at the moment and had failed to consider the consequences of his actions.
Then again, this attack was a practically a divide bomb and he didn’t care whatever consequences came with it. With his soul already damaged and his life force burned out, resurrection and reincarnation was out of the question.
“Ahahahah… I changed my mind. You can die along with everyone else! Everything be damned!”
“What a bad joke. Dark Magic – Chains of Darkness.”
Black chains that emitted an evil and depressing aura, quickly spout out from the ground as they shot up towards the suprised Voke who could not tell where that voice had originated from.
He gathered his energy in his arms and blasted them at the incoming chains and they were disintegrated almost immediately.
“What is this! Where are you! Don’t you dare mock me you trash!”
However, before he could continue his rants more black chains quickly sprout out of the ground, moving faster than the last as they aimed to bound his limbs one at a time.
“Damn you! Damn You…”
As Voke continued to blast the chains over and over again, they steadily got larger, thicker, and faster as they could no longer be destroyed by his attacks. Their depressing aura quick drained him of his will to resist as they pierced through his limbs binding them one at a time.
“What! What is this!?”
As one of the large chains finally got a hold of him, he willed himself against his depression and tried to yank it off with brute strength but that lapse in his attacks caused more chains to pierce into his limbs and wrap around him as they pulled him back down to the ground.
His will as a Demigod was strong and even against the chains of darkness, he struggled to resist as he roared in anger but Rain ignored his resistance as she had suddenly appeared above him, her blades cut through the air leaving behind beautiful silver and black trails as she descended towards her target.
“Those are chains of darkness, they’re weak during the day but at night, they absorb the energy from the target to constantly grow stronger until they’ve pulled you into the depths of the abyss, slowly draining your will to resist. But don’t worry, you won’t be going there in one piece.”
•Eviscerate•
In a flash, Rain’s figure had moved past Voke and cooly landed on the ground as in the next second. Voke’s body was practically shredded.
Blood gushed out of everywhere as his organs hung out of his body. His arms and legs had been finely diced but the chains caught every piece of him as they pulled him down into the darkness.
Even after such a gruesome attack, Voke was still alive as he screamed in terror and anguish while being pulled into the depths of the abyss.
Rain did not turn around to look at the screaming Voke whose soul was being consumed by the abyss as she simply waited for her dark spell to end and confirm his soul had been consumed before fading away into the shadows.
Her mission had been completed and all that was left was to meet up with Liz before heading back to the castle and watching the rest of the battle play out with Lord Ty, which was currently the only thing she cared about.
