BXBX NOVEL Chapter 337: Arcane Arbitration Arc
A bright light flashed in front of Azmond.
BLING!
*Ding!* *New Skill Created!*
[Peak-Earth Skill: Arcane Arbitration Arc] [Due to insufficient comprehension in Laws, the Ability will be limited in Skill Rank. [To advance the rank of the skill, advance your comprehension of the Laws.]]
"..." Following his scrutiny of the system notifications, he looked at the myriad of colors emitting off his blade.
OOOM!
There were red, blue, green, yellow, purple, black, red, and just about every other color of energy tendril fluctuating on his blade.
He gazed at his katana for a moment before he turned his eyes up to the plummeting foot.
His gaze hardened as he pulled back his katana before slashing upward at a speed unrecognizable to the human eye!
SLASH!
An energy arc was released in a vertical shape, heading straight for the giant demon-like Zargoroth\'s hoove.
"!?!?!?" Zargoroth was still trying to comprehend what was happening, but he didn\'t even get the chance before...
SLICE!
His large city-sized hoove was sliced off his leg!
*SPURT!*
A fountain of dark red blood dyed the already red land even redder!
"Aarghhhh!?" Zargoroth roared out with an anguished look on his face.
BOOOOOM!
Half of his left leg was cut off from the rest of his leg as it fell to the ground with a loud explosion!
His vision was turning as he started falling to the ground due to the lack of one of his legs; however, before he could fall all the way, he was able to use his Qi to make up for the loss.
\'All I have to do is kill this bug and wait for the leg to grow back!!\' He thought.
But there was something odd going on with his regeneration.
He gazed down at his stump and saw no signs of any healing before he thought, \'Why is it not regenerating!?\'
Zargoroth had never encountered an attack that his insane healing capabilities were incapable of healing from. Even if the human was hiding his realm, and even if he had quite a lot of comprehension in the Laws, it shouldn\'t matter!
\'So Why Is It Not Healing!?!?\' He screamed out inside his mind.
"..." Azmond observed the reactions of the small, world-sized monster and couldn\'t help but pity his ignorance a little, so he said, "The reason why you aren\'t healing-"
"!?!?!?!?" Zargoroth looked down at the human, as it seemed like Azmond had successfully attracted its attention.
He noticed that as well, so he continued, "The reason you aren\'t healing is because I used the Law of Decay to melt away the parts of your leg that are attempting to heal you."
His smile widened a little as he was sure that Zargoroth didn\'t expect a human to have comprehensions into the Law of Decay.
And it looked like Zargoroth\'s reaction was even more over-exaggerated than he expected as he thundered, "You dare to use such a dirty Law on me!?!?"
Fire came out of his mouth as he added, "Truly Courting Death!!!"
WAAAA!!!
His fiendish aura fought against Azmond\'s as they battled for supremacy over the space around them.
Even with the loss of a leg, his power had not lessened in the slightest, as his spiritual aspects were perfectly unscathed.
The only thing Azmond had to say in response to such a battle over their auras was, "Do you not want to tell me what I want to know?"
He paused for a moment before he continued, "I can allow you to keep your other leg and your life if you do."
"!!!!!!!!" Zargoroth practically exploded out in pure, unadulterated rage after hearing such a comment by the human.
"You Fucker!!!!" He bellowed out, magma drizzling down his mouth.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Fireballs shot out of his horns before they landed on the earth below, creating something similar to a meteor shower.
Azmond made sure Calista, Boundless, his black sphere, and that Clawdia girl were okay before he uttered, "Don\'t say I didn\'t warn you, big guy."
FWIP!
Following such a declaration, his figure blurred as he darted toward the right leg of Zargoroth!
"You think I\'ll fall for the same trick, you puny human!?" Zargoroth sneered before he bent his leg and Qi supplemented leg, followed by...
BOOOOOOOOM!!
He cracked the earth below him as he leaped up into the sky!
His small, country-sized figure immediately made it past the layers of the atmosphere, as he found himself at the border between the world of Asterion and the starry sky beyond.
Zargoroth looked down from over 100,000 miles in the air as he attempted to find the dust-like figure of the human.
"There you are!!!" He snarled.
Following his finding of the human, fiendish energy started to build up around his horns as he pointed them toward the earth below.
"Let\'s see how you like being roasted alive along with all those you love!!!" He roared out with a demented look on his face.
RUMBLE!!!
The area of space above Asterion started to crack and break apart upon the buildup of energy between Zargoroth\'s horns!
And it took no longer than a couple milliseconds before he silently enunciated:
|Annihilation Beam|!
CRACK! CRACK!
Following his words, the air above Asterion collapsed in on itself!
OOOOM!
The energy above his horns materialized into a sphere of energy thousands of miles in length before it shot out at levels surpassing light speed!
"DIE!!!"
***
Meanwhile, on the Twentieth Step of the Luminous Grounds, Azmond, along with Calista, Boundless, Emu, Clawdia, and the monsterkin in the black sphere, looked at where Zargoroth had disappeared.
And it wasn\'t long after that that the hoarse and scratchy voice of Clawdia sounded out.
"Y-You must run! Ta-Take my sister and run!" She screamed out.
However, her voice wasn\'t able to make it to Azmond.
*Drip Drip*
More blood dripped down her lips and hands as she clenched them till the whites were seen.
"P-Please take her and get away from here" She cried out with teary eyes.
