Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Fyr Ritual
His words caused the party to laugh, he was mocked and ridiculed but Riley maintained his composure because he spoke the truth, without even needing his wives to take them out, he could kill all of them.
" What a joke, even the party found it hilarious "
" Its good to be delusional, it makes up for your weakness, your lack of strength and power, so I’ll let it slide, since you’re so sure of your strength, Mr. Riley....why don’t we make a deal? " The young master spoke out.
" A deal? what kind of deal are you talking about? " Riley asked.
" Well its nothing much, just a simple deal I guess...I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself, you have thirty minutes to take out whatever is against you, If you do.....I’ll give you five million dollars as a reward "
" Is this a good deal? " The Young Master asked.
" Boss? why would you even think of wasting five million dollars on this trash, a thousand bucks will be enough to motivate him " One of Joel’s men voiced out but he was quickly silenced by the young master Joel.
" Its not a waste, five million dollars is nothing to my family but it’s something to him, and besides if he was just a mere weakling, I wouldn’t even be talking to him as we speak "
" Even though he doesn’t act like it, I can smell the strength of a fellow gifted and he’s no weak one " Young Master Joel said.
Riley couldn’t help but smile.
" So he saw through it huh? my adaptation Talent upgrades my body and my mana pool every time I’m close to death, although I had it maintained but to think his senses are that high to figure it out "
" He’s quite exceptional " Riley said to himself.
A sigh escaped his lips afterwards.
" Five million dollars is a solid amount to set a bet but why don’t you increase it? I need ten million dollars and a year’s worth of free food as well " Riley said, everyone present were shocked.
They had no idea what’s giving Riley this much confidence boost in himself, he’s just a mere soldier of IPac, what makes him so sure of his win.
" Hmmm, it looks like you’re pretty sure of your win huh? very well then, ten million dollars and a year’s worth of food but in exchange, you time haa been cut down in half, you will be given fifteen minutes "
" Is that a deal? " The young master asked.
" Yh, you’ve got yourself a deal.....I only need ten minutes to take out whatever is out there, I should be leaving now.....prepare my money " Riley said, he made his way out of the scene, heading towards the monster’s direction.
Meanwhile Jasmine scoffed as she watched Riley leave.
" What a strange kid, i thought he would reject my offer and willingly stay with us but he actually agreed to defeat that thing? something strong enough to kill even Grey Ford, what a delusional kid " Jasmine uttered.
" Don’t be too sure about that Jasmine, I saw the confidence in his eyes...it was as if he’s a hundred percent certain of his victory, like I was the one who got played, I don’t know if he’s delusional "
" But he’s definitely not weak "
" He has fifteen minutes to take out that monster, after the fifteen minutes ends, we will be making our moves, till then.....let’s wait and prepare " Young Master Joel commanded.
--------
The atmosphere was soaked in intense radiations, the air was pitch black, Riley could be seen walking through the storms, despite the density.....he refused to stagger, he walked into the storms unfazed.
Navigating the environment while being in position with his AR-15.
He kept moving forward until he came across a loud growl, the depths of the storms was more densed, the mana flowing within the domain was something no one could ever understanding, a power so dire.
" I have fifteen minutes to take out whatever is in here...I need to kill it quickly " Riley said to himself.
He walked through the storms, stunned to see himself standing before a giant, it was seen sitted on a boulder, it’s four eyes glowed brightly, glaring directly at Riley, gently waiting for his arrival.
Corpses littered the ground, it’s beserk brought about the death of a even greater number.
" What the hell am I seeing? this is no Mogorth " Riley voiced out.
" This is something far more worse " He added.
A loud grunt echoed.
" WELCOME, LAST DESCENDANT OF ARGALL BLOODNIGHT, I DO NOT KNOW YOUR NAME, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE, I DO NOT CARE TO KNOW...I’M SIMPLY HERE FOR A REASON "
" TO END YOUR MISERABLE LIFE "
The Monster’s voice echoed, casting vast shadows across space itself, the monster rose up to his feets, causing the ground to quake, Riley staggered back.....he felt the intense pressure within the atmosphere.
The chaotic storm triggered by the monster’s movements, Riley had his assault rifle pointed at the giant, tension grew...both entities glared at themselves for a few seconds before the latter attacked first.
Radiations surged as the monster launched its first attack.
Causing the atmosphere to burn with so much violence, Riley fell back.... evading the waves of radiations thrown against him, another was fired against him....he deflected it with his swiftness.
The monster strucked the ground with its feet, causing rocks to bounce in the air, a swift kick unleashed sent the rocks flying against Riley.
Riley bounced back, he maintained his distance.
He quickly shot down the rocks thrown against him, a lopsided smile escaped his lips, Riley turned, he fired a bullet, hitting the leg of the monster but it did zero damage to the monster, instead.
The monster became even more enraged, leveling the plain fields with so much aggression, Riley was strucked by an attack which sent him flying, he crashed heavily on the ground.....he groaned.
Slowly standing up from the ground, he raised his head.
" Tch, this won’t be as easy as I thought, Killing this thing is more difficult than killing that frost giant, although the frost giant was out to kill me, but it wasn’t this enraged and triggered just to end my life "
" From what I can see.....the red eyes confirms my suspicions, this is a red eyed Mogorth but something made it this way, perhaps a mutation? Mogorths are quite concious, this one isn’t "
" I still have a chance to take it down " Riley said to himself.
He caused his AR-15 to vanish, and his Glock 19 pistols appeared on his hands, he breathed a warm sigh of relief.
" Death to one.....death to all, how hard can It be? " Riley asked.
\Mana Sensory Talent is active/
\Hunter’s Insight Talent is active/
Riley’s eyes glowed brightly, he charged forward..... moving at an insane pace, using his Mana Sensory Talent as a means to calculate mana, he was able to reduce the effects of the mana density.
The Monstrosity roared out loud, charging forward.....it threw a clawed attack, slicing through space itself, Riley’s bloods splashes on the air as he got hit by the clawed, he was sent flying back.
Riley controlled his momentum, he made his landing on the ground.
He gazed down, observing the claws on his chest.....his healing factor took charge, healing him slowly, Riley couldn’t help but smile.
" I need three minutes to adapt.....I just need to keep myself alive for three minutes, staying alive is on of my thing, I doubt I’ll be dying today "
[Meanwhile]
While the fight is ongoing, on the outskirt of the city, a unit of soldiers were released to get everyone to safety, those who were luckily pulled out before the abomination truly descended upon the world.
Trucks were moving to and fro across the highway.
Armed soldiers stood guard, observing everything from where they stood, all movements came to a halt when a dragon portal appeared on the highway, Zaine emerged from the dragon portal.
" Go to sleep "
She commanded and her eyes glowed brightly, intense mana pressure was unleashed, knocking every single living being out of their conciousness, soldiers laid on the ground, Myzel and Alpha emerged from the portal afterwards.
" I still don’t understand what you’re plotting Alpha.....our baby is currently fighting that monster alone, shouldn’t we be helping him as we speak? " Myzel asked.
" No.....He would have refused our help, I chose to carry out this task when he’s in the depths of the battle, the radiations and the fight is currently distracting him from knowing what we are currently doing " Alpha explained.
" I did as you asked, Alpha...I had everyone alive slumber, what’s the next phase? " Zaine questioned.
Alpha took a step forward, she observed the environment first before bending down, she placed her right hand on the ground.
" Back then.....during the first period of the Mogorth’s manifestation, I lost a lot of Themzaronians in the process, the reason why I lost them was not because they were weak "
" My people were never weak.....we just didn’t understand what the Mogorths were then, the idea that we don’t know what they came from and how their powers worked resulted in many of our deaths so I had to do something, to stop their massacre on my people...I did something that shouldn’t have been done "
" Blood sacrifice "
" Using the bloods and souls of the fallen soldiers to disrupt and weaken the existence of the Mogorth temporary, that’s when I realized they had a weakness, what they love the most is their weakness "
" Blood.....they savour on the refreshing taste of blood but blood when used right is their worst enemy, this was why the Bloodnight Household was capable of killing them using their unique blood signature "
" Right now....our husband is not strong enough to master the blood signature "
" I’ll be the one who ends it, a few hundred dying is necessary for our husband’s safety "
Alpha initiated a dark circle, creating a vast storms of absolute darkness across the vicinity, covering the entirety of Chicago, she glared at the unconcious humans from where she stayed.
Her eyes squinted.
" Activating the Fyr Ritual.....E’l Ju rel Kaimon " She chanted.
A black wall surged, covering the entirety of Chicago.....she could see the life draining out of the soldiers, using it to replenish the magic circle, she released a death wave..... amplifying her powers with souls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lieutenant Connor returned back from his trip to Chicago, he could be seen walking around the hallway when his movements came to a halt, his eyes widened.....his eyes twitched, he could feel his bones shivering.
" There’s no way...this power "
" The Fyr Ritual? a Themzaronian exists in this Dimension, a powerful one at that "
