Towers Of Heaven - 80 Book 3 Chapter 74

Aamon scanned the Alliance, minotaurs, Lavos, Sersa, and the other two chieftains. His gaze stopped briefly on Amara, Jason, Olivia, and any other ascender who possessed an Ultimate rune. After adding them all together, he cracked his neck and smiled. “Not bad. You humans only took a few months to acquire so many Ultimate runes. One of you even has two.”

Peter’s expression changed when Aamon correctly identified their species. This didn’t go unnoticed by the demon, who turned to the Alliance’s leader with a nod. “Smart. I’m unlike these pitiful puppets, unaware of the truth of their world. They ignorantly perform their role in the tower’s test, nothing more.”

The eyes of Lavos, the other chieftains, and minotaurs grew dull upon hearing words they weren’t supposed to hear. The memory of what just occurred vanished from their brains, giving them a dazed look. At this, Aamon shook his head with a sneer while Jason’s anger flared.

Lavos dedicated his entire life to protecting his tribe. He had emotions, dreams, and aspirations, just like anyone else. Then there was Cable, Decker, and every other intelligent lifeform in the tower. Jason treated them with the same respect he gave to others. What right did Aamon have to disregard their existence? For that matter, what right did the tower have to play with their lives as if they were toys?

“Oh?” Aamon raised an eyebrow when he witnessed the Alliance’s fierce expressions.

Roy nearly jumped off the wall as he snarled. “What makes you any different? Aren’t you here, like them, to perform a role? You’re merely the final boss of the tower, yet you act so high and mighty!”

Aamon blinked his eyes in disbelief before letting out a grim chuckle. “I’ve followed Lord Vex for over ten thousand years. Not once has anyone shown me such disrespect, kid.”

The wind suddenly picked up until a low howl filled the area. Dust swirled around Aamon, his eyes cold. “I thought it beneath my status to massacre a primitive species from a backwater planet, yet now I’ve changed my mind.”

“FIRE!” Peter commanded without hesitation. The haven, previously quiet and orderly, sprang to life in an instant. All one hundred and six towers concentrated fire on Aamon, whose figure disappeared under the bombardment.

It was like a nuclear bomb went off.

At first, silence, then an explosion. Mana, previously considered tame and gentle, left only destruction in its wake. The ground disintegrated into nothing while the air warped and twisted like the crumpling of paper.

When the dust settled, only a crater remained, at the center of which stood Aamon, completely unharmed. What few burns he had healed before everyone’s eyes. The demon guffawed, “Did you know they told me I wasn’t allowed to use any equipment? No weapon. No armor. Nothing. Turns out I don’t need it.”

At that, Aamon widened his stance, threw back his arm, and froze as the ground started to tremble. It was of no concern at first, but soon everyone had trouble standing. Roy tried to steady himself and exclaimed, “What’s going on? Is Aamon gonna attack with an earthquake?”

“No. Take a close look at his body,” Olivia responded with a hint of terror.

At her words, everyone looked over and doubted what they saw. The cause of the tremors was merely from the vibration of Aamon’s muscles. But how was that possible? How much force could Aamon create without moving an inch?

Unwilling to let the situation continue, Shenlong struck out with his spear. Distance meant nothing to Godslayer, and with Aamon stationary, the attack struck true. Unexpectedly, as soon as the spearhead pierced Aamon’s skin, a terrifying destructive force traveled through the spear into its wielder.

Shenlong screamed as the unknown force ripped his arm apart like a cook peeling a potato. Pieces of skin, muscles, and bone flew in all directions. Even then, Shenlong never let go of his spear.

In response, everyone used long-range skills to interrupt Aamon as healers regenerated Shenlong’s arm. The demon’s natural defense was unimaginably high, almost absurdly so, but the Alliance was no pushover. Especially Lavos. Under their attacks, the demon’s health slowly dropped.

99 million.

98 million.

Suddenly, the power Aamon accumulated flowed through his body, down his arm, and into his hand. Then, he struck. It was a simple punch, yet what happened next shattered everyone’s understanding of what was possible.

The shockwave produced by Aamon’s punch cleaved the ground in two, leaving behind a ravine fifty feet deep and thirty feet wide. When the wave struck the haven’s barrier, it caved inward, then popped like a bubble. The wall fell next, followed by the countless structures. It was like a class-10 tornado swept through the haven.

Among the rubble, the Alliance, chieftains, and minotaurs struggled to their feet and looked around in amazement. Thankfully, the haven’s defenses absorbed most of Aamon’s attack, leaving them shaken but unharmed. Now, however, the Alliance couldn’t rely on the haven’s structures to assist them in their fight against Aamon. From another perspective, the playing field was now equal.

Jason locked onto Aamon in the distance, watching as the demon walked over. Shockingly, with every step, runes appeared on the demon’s body. Soon there were so many you couldn’t even tell them apart.

“Did I forget to mention I can copy your runes?” Aamon laughed as he observed everyone’s depressed expressions.

Unknown to Aamon, Lavos already informed the Alliance of this secret, yet they never expected Aamon could copy runes indefinitely. There were almost 1,500 people here, minotaurs and humans combined. That meant Aamon possessed some ten-thousand runes.

Upon realizing this, except for a few, everyone else summoned their mounts and reluctantly fled the battle. In seconds, only Jason, Shenlong, Olivia, Roy, Amara, Carly, Dubaku, Lavos, Sersa, and the other chieftains remained.

“No matter,” Aamon shrugged, unconcerned with the loss of runes, then cracked his knuckles. “Now that the weaklings are gone, we can fight for real.”
