BXBX NOVEL Chapter 588 Two-Fold Battle (1)
They say history repeats itself…
Once in the land of Prasinos, a man coined as the first Victor raised his sword and exhausted all his blessed powers to defeat the head of the Vesala.
Also in the same time period, the guardian of the mortal time Asa was killed by the evil spirit of the fallen Birsha in a brief exchange.
Now, the same thing happened again and Prasinos remained the witness.
Leon, a descendant of the First Victor faces the Vesala Ancestor, the soul of the vengeful clan who allied themselves to evil.
On the other hand, Eli, a descendant carrying the blessings of Asa faces the root of the evil in Prasinos and the murderer of the guardian.
–
Leon looked at the Vesala Ancestor and his blood boiled.
Upon laying his eyes on him, there was a vision that he saw.
It was the haunting faces of the people that fell victim to the selfish works of the Vesala ancestor from generation to generation.
Their voices were screaming justice in Leon\'s ears, begging him to end the Ancestor\'s evil for good.
There, he saw how children were placed on a cold altar and mercilessly slaughtered.
There, he saw how several pregnant women were abducted and forcefully robbed of their unborn children from their wombs.
There, he saw countless fathers searching high and low for their missing loved ones. How they become deranged and crazy with despair and hopelessness due to their disappearance.
There, he saw countless non-human races mutilated and continuously experimented so that evil goals were achieved.
He saw endless atrocities and abominable deeds, which made his entire being scream in anger and indignance.
Leon\'s soul looked at the heavens and asked,
"Oh Great Creator, have you given me this power to execute justice to the people?
If so, then look upon me and guide me to victory!"
After his prayer, the stars in his eyes rotated once more and all the mana in the earth resounded as if they were singing in chorus.
The Vesala Ancestor looked at Leon mockingly.
Even if the girl beside him managed to split himself and Birsha\'s spirit, he is still a strong vessel, a naturally strong mage, and a cursed user.
His strength is still incomparable to the old guardians that were fighting beside Leon earlier on.
He does not believe that Leon would be able to take him on!
Vrrrr!
The wind and the ground shook. The Vesala ancestor grinned sinisterly as he looked at Leon who still remained still in the midst of his turbulent emotion.
"Come foolish man, and do not waste my time!" The Ancestor\'s entire body was surrounded by a purple wisp of violent energy.
The moment he lifted his hands, the earth beneath opened up, causing the soldiers on the ground to panic.
The ground opened deeply, revealing the extremely hot lava underneath. Its temperature seared the exhausted skin of the army and even the Demonoid soldiers bared their fangs and avoided the opening on the ground.
Then, something shot to where the ancestor was standing.
Bits and pieces of metal slowly floated in his hand. It slowly formed into a long weapon, with one giant blade at the center with two smaller blades beside it.
It was a spear made of gold, platinum, and diamond. All of which were attracted by the ancestor\'s power and were manipulated into taking the shape of a weapon.
He pointed it at Leon and immediately charged at him, seeing that Leon did not move still.
Clang!
Just as he thought that Leon would be defenseless with his fast attack, his spear met a blood-red sword that was pulsating like it was molten lava forcefully molded into a sword.
"Sword of Ignis!" Kazimir and Antoine felt the resonating power coming from Leon\'s direction and they could not help but look over.
When they saw what it was, they exclaimed in shock. Leon is wielding the Sword of Ignis!
It was the ultimate manifestation of the blessing of Ignis in their bloodline. It is said that only those who were qualified and desperate enough were able to trigger the sword to come out from the power of their blood.
For several generations, even with S-class Grandmaster Idelfonso, the sword has never appeared.
And so everyone thought that the chances of the sword appearing had already faded and thinned out because the bloodline of Seirende was slowly dispersing.
But now, the sword appeared at the most critical moment!
Kazimir and Antoine\'s eyes lit up with hope, and so were the rest of the army.
"Heh, you foolish descendant think that the same weapon would kill me as well?" The Vesala Ancestor\'s eyes widened as he stared at the sword and continued to hit Leon mercilessly.
Seeing the very same weapon that killed his father and forced him to flee and annex himself in the Vanderford, he could not help but become more aggressive and agitated.
"No… I will not suffer the same fate as my father! It is Seirende instead who will fall!" He bellowed.
"Raaaah!" As he executed a full forced thrust move with his spear, the Vesala ancestor gathered a massive amount of mana and laced it with curse power to shoot it straight into Leon\'s face who, in turn, was actually preparing to parry the attack with his sword.
The Vesala Ancestor smiled, as he thought that he had caught Leon off guard, however, a small portal opened at Leon\'s face, swallowing the magic attack fully.
On the other side of the battlefield, a portal opened behind Emperor Razak\'s, and the full might of the Vesala ancestor\'s power hit him directly!
Boom!
Kazimir and Antoine leaped to retreat from the sudden explosion and were shocked. Although they knew that Leon could use the power of the spatial void, they never saw Leon use the power to this extent.
Leon was also surprised as he too never expected that he would be able to control the spatial void to swallow an opponent\'s attack.
He only knows how to use the spatial void to divert his own attacks to other directions using the portal, but not the attack of others. That is because diverting such a violent ball of mana might cause a disturbance to the spatial void and would in turn fail to open the portal to the right destination point.
It was so risky that he never dared to do it in such a situation where he had allies all around.
But now that he accepted the power of the End of Path, he never felt that this would be a problem at all!
The diversion of the opponent\'s power has succeeded!
"Aaaaaa….arrrk…" Emperor Razak did not know what had happened, as he already had no consciousness, he only stared blankly at his upper body which was already blown in half.
Kazimir and Antoine knew that this was done by Leon in order for them to wrap up the battle on their end and help the others.
And so they unleashed their strongest attack to obliterate the last bit of Emperor Razak on the surface of the earth.
Tzzzzzz….
The smell of burnt skin assaulted Kazimir and Antoine\'s noses, but it was still not enough to mask the heavy scent of blood and death on the battlefield.
Seeing the remnants of Emperor Razak\'s body fall into the lava well below, the two prince\'s eyes turned warm.
But that is only for a second, as they knew the reason why Leon sent them help - their youngest brother was hoping that they would help the others on the battlefield.
With a gaze of understanding, Kazimir and Antoine took a deep breath and flew in different directions.
Kazimir joined the two High Priests and faced Pope Ramir.
Antoine went on Randel\'s side and helped him face Rachana.
Leon on the other hand faced the Ancestor\'s wrath.
"You and your stupid tricks! I\'ll make sure that you will fall to this river of molten lava through my hands!"
Leon however did not react and just continued to solemnly respond and counterattack.
Even as he was already wielding the power, the source of the Ancestor\'s power seemed to be endless as well.
That is because he could see that the ancestor was actually taking all the life essence of the fallen on the battlefield and even around the Prasinos.
In his eyes, he could see countless strands of purple life essence from far away… from places beyond the horizons and they were all flying towards the ancestor.
Leon\'s heart turned cold. It seems that as long as there would be deaths on both sides, there is a cursed power that the ancestor and the demonoid army can feed into.
He lowered his eyes and thought. Then he remembered the voice in his head,
"The tree contains the essence of life for all of Prasinos. It is the very origin of life which holds this world together…"
Leon suddenly hands a thought, "If the essence of life closes its doors to move freely on earth… then could the curse power ever steal again?"
