Chapter 183: King of silence 1
Ray blinded his eyes; after the fight with Armstrong, he had come to the knowledge that his instincts were strong enough to find an enemy. Against someone with the speed of light, his own eyes couldn’t help him at all.
Blood thickened around his body, making an armor with eight wings growing out of it; on each wing, tens of eyes looked at his opponent.
King Somuuned the doll with a hundred hands behind his back; with only one mace remaining, he awaited Ray to attack.
With a smile, Ray unleashed the crimson star toward the doll. "That thing is a hassle."
King dodged the wave of purple flames and let the doll be destroyed. Wasting magic against that thing could be crucial.
As the doll vaporized, the fight began. The king of silence teleported behind Ray, yet a dragon tail cut through his hand.
Thousands of bloodshot eyes came to be in the sky; all of them were locked down on him.
All the eyes were connected to his wings; they could tell where he was moving. If the result were one with his instinct, Ray would have attacked.
"You have thought about this..." The king of silence moved back, with a purple aura sparkling around him.
A burst of nova magic came out of his body, and with the gravity magic activated, everything started to get pulled toward him.
"Unfortunately for you, this one doesn’t work for me." With a swing of the scythe in his hand, a cut was made through the purple magic. Having a higher level than King of Silence, Crimson Star had the upper hand against his nova magic in all cases.
Ray charged toward his foe with the gravity pulling him; his speed was increased.
Light blades circled around the king’s body; decreasing the gravity, he threw the swords with his mace landing on Star Crimson.
Before each sword could get near him, a blood orb with a spin blocked each of them. Although their level was higher, they couldn’t pass through the orbs.
From afar, Cindi watched with her jaw dropped. "He could learn my technique in such a short amount of time..."
Ray blocked a mace attack, but thousands more came from all sides; he had to let some of them pass. The king of silence constantly changed gravity for Ray to destroy his balance, yet he continued to stand his ground.
"I have fought with the owner of that magic; at the end of the day, you are just a copy of them..." Ray said with a calm tone.
Above them, light beams and swords constantly wanted to attack Ray, but his wings made defenses for him. Only one was past the spinning orb, and that couldn’t land on him.
The king of silence saw an opening and struck Ray’s leg; mid-attack, he remembered the most used trick of Ray. A dragon’s tail cut his arm from the shoulder, making the distance between them. Ray went after him.
"You have five magics, but the only one of them is a problem..." If Ray could stop his speed, others were nothing special at level 9.
Blood made a sphere around them; in a second it turned into red diamonds. On the inner walls more and more eyes appeared.
A burst of nova came out of his body again to destroy the cage, yet Ray’s blade went for his neck, dodging it barely; a dragon claw came from the sky.
Strikes came from all sides, making jade walls stop the dragon claws, but it gave time to Ray to attack it.
Amidst the movement of blood angels, he saw another opening; this one was so small that he couldn’t have faked it. "He could only use one claw at one time..."
A jade wall blocked an incoming attack, activating his gravity magic and light magic at the same time; he charged toward Ray’s underbelly.
"Don’t you think I know my own weaknesses better than anyone else?" A dark claw filled with devil magic tore apart his figure.
Seeing under his mask for the time, only darkness was there, with no sign of humanity inside of that clothing.
"You are way weaker than what you show... In the fight with the creature, a devil attack could have easily killed it, but you couldn’t do it. So the devil’s powers just gave you your magic; however, with no system, you can’t get their equipment or abilities. You just are a shell of your owners."
None of the immortals were surprised; on paper, King of Silence should have killed the vessel of fear and hunger quite easily, yet he barely could scratch it. For that same reason none of them had gone after him to recruit him. Two of his magics were already immortals that could kill him in an instant.
"So what?" the king of silence said with his calm manner.
"You knew I would kill you today; that’s why you wanted me to fulfill your promise." After another round, Ray was sure of his suspicions. Signs were there too; Cindi had no doubts about who would win.
Blood gathered around Ray’s body, getting into his wings; their color turned darker, and the eyes on them turned golden and blue like his own.
With his wounds healed, the king raised up to the sky again. "Let’s finish this, Blood Angel."
"You have lurked in the shadows for so long..." Ray’s body changed too; dark veins grew out of one of his eyes, taking over half of his face. Fear’s and hunger’s magic leaked out of his face. "I will kill you the way you deserve it."
After he killed the general, Ray had thought fear and hunger had given him nothing, but after a few tests, its magic no longer hurt his body, as if he had turned into a part of it too. He no longer needed to unleash it with the dragon claw; he could simply use it in his normal attacks. However, pushing it too far still had its own dangers.
He could use it only three times for attacks. "More than enough!"
