Chapter 406: Chapter 405: Tier 7 Sword
A pillar of decay shot into the heavens.
The creature’s aura surged to an entirely new level.
Even the surrounding laws began trembling before it.
Alix watched silently. Then the smile on his face slowly widened. Because the stronger the creature became. The more interesting this fight was becoming.
The creature vanished.
Its enormous body crossed several kilometers in an instant, leaving behind a trail of gray destruction that carved a deep scar across the land. Wherever it passed, mountains aged into crumbling ruins. Forests turned to ash. Rivers evaporated into foul-smelling mist.
Its gigantic claw descended toward Alix.
The Decay Law wrapped around the attack like a living storm.
It wasn’t a spell or skill.
It was simply a Tier 7’s mastery over the world’s laws.
Every casual strike naturally carried the authority of the law itself.
Alix calmly watched the descending claw.
Then, with a casual thought, a ripple spread through space.
A weapon appeared in his hand.
A longsword with a silver-white blade.
Its edge shimmered with countless ancient runes.
The moment it appeared, the surrounding space became noticeably heavier.
A genuine Tier 7 weapon.
Alix had no shortage of treasures within his System.
Although his own strength was currently limited, nothing prevented him from wielding equipment higher tier than his level, as long as the difference is not too much.
He slowly raised the sword. There was no grand movement.
No dramatic preparation. Just a simple horizontal slash.
Yet the instant the blade moved, a vast amount of fire law gathered around it.
The sword itself became a blazing line that seemed capable of dividing heaven and earth.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The sword and claw collided.
For a brief moment...
Time itself seemed to stop.
Then the world exploded.
A crimson shockwave mixed with gray Decay Law erupted in every direction.
Everything within dozens of kilometers vanished.
The remaining cliffs surrounding the crater disintegrated.
Ancient forests were swept away.
Entire hills disappeared beneath the collision.
The shockwave continued spreading until it reached distant mountain ranges, flattening everything in its path.
The abomination was pushed backward.
So was Alix.
Both slid through the air before stopping simultaneously.
The creature roared.
Alix merely adjusted his grip on the sword.
"So your body can withstand this much."
The three heads screamed together.
"KILL!"
"KILL!"
"KILL!"
The monster charged again.
Its fists, claws, knees, and tail became weapons coated in Decay Law.
Every swing distorted the surrounding world.
Every missed strike left enormous canyons stretching across the landscape.
Alix answered every attack with his sword.
Clang!
BOOM!
Clang!
BOOOOOOOM!
Every collision produced another catastrophic explosion.
Entire sections of the mountain range vanished beneath their battle.
The sky split apart again and again. Clouds were blown away for hundreds of kilometers.
Space itself trembled from the repeated impacts.
Every slash naturally carried the authority of fire.
Every thrust carried the authority of lightning.
Every movement of his blade resembled the attack of a true Tier 7.
Suddenly, flames erupted around his sword.
"[Tier 6 Skill: Solar Flame Edge.]"
The Fire Law condensed along the blade until it resembled molten sunlight.
Alix stepped forward.
His sword flashed once.
A crescent of blazing fire crossed the battlefield.
The abomination raised both arms to block.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Its left arm exploded into countless pieces.
Gray flesh rained from the sky.
Yet before those fragments even touched the ground, crimson streams from the blood fountain shot toward them.
The arm rapidly regenerated.
Without hesitation, the creature retaliated.
Its tail lashed outward.
The Decay Law condensed into a massive gray snake that devoured everything before it.
Alix’s expression remained calm. And lightning erupted beneath his feet.
"[Tier 6 Skill: Lightning God’s Step.]"
CRACK!
His figure disappeared.
The gray dragon struck empty air before crashing into the distant mountains.
Several mountain peaks simply ceased to exist.
The next instant, Alix appeared above the creature.
His sword became covered in brilliant golden lightning.
The surrounding thunder element answered his call.
"[Tier 6 Skill: Heavenly Thunder Execution.]"
Thousands of bolts merged into a single strike.
The blade descended.
CRAAAAAAAAAAACK!
The heavens split open.
A pillar of divine lightning crashed downward alongside the sword.
The impact blasted the creature straight into the earth.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The ground collapsed.
A crater hundreds of meters deep appeared instantly.
Before the dust could settle, the creature burst back out.
Its regenerated body was even more grotesque than before.
Additional mouths had appeared across its chest. New arms protruded from its back.
Its Decay Law had become even denser.
The blood fountain continued feeding it without pause.
Each clash erased another part of the landscape.
The mountain range that had existed for thousands of years was rapidly disappearing from the map.
----
Meanwhile, far away on the battlefield...
Both armies suddenly stopped fighting.
Even the deafening sounds of war faded into silence.
Everyone turned toward the distant horizon.
A pillar of crimson fire erupted into the heavens.
Moments later, a gray storm swallowed half the sky.
Then came another explosion.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The ground beneath the battlefield shook violently.
Countless soldiers lost their footing. Even the city walls trembled.
Human generals stared toward the distant mountains with pale faces.
Charles slowly lowered his sword.
"What... is happening over there?"
Virtil’s pupils contracted.
Even from this distance, he could feel two terrifying forces colliding repeatedly.
"What is happening over there? It’s like two gods are fighting." he muttered under his breath.
The human army exchanged uneasy glances.
None of them knew what was happening.
Unlike the humans, Alix’s generals merely glanced toward the horizon before returning their attention to the battlefield.
Morgro folded his arms without the slightest concern.
"His Majesty is having fun."
A faint smile appeared on Sorin’s face.
"Our king finally found someone worth drawing his sword against."
Verila looked toward the distant explosions, then calmly wiped the blood from her spear.
"But it looks like, it won’t last much longer."
Even Zurrak remained completely relaxed, his crimson eyes briefly flickering toward the collapsing mountain range before disappearing into the battlefield once again.
-----
The battlefield had become unrecognizable.
There were no longer mountains.
No forests.
No valleys.
The endless clashes between Alix and the abomination had erased everything within hundreds of kilometers. Towering peaks that had stood for countless ages had been reduced to endless fields of shattered stone. Rivers had been vaporized. The sky itself seemed fractured, countless cracks spreading through the clouds as violent elemental storms raged in every direction.
The creature roared once more. All three heads let out different screams.
One wailed in despair.
One laughed hysterically.
One cursed in a language that no longer belonged to the living.
Its grotesque body charged once again, wrapped in an ocean of Decay Law.
The gray aura swallowed everything before it.
The ground beneath its feet turned into lifeless dust.
The very air became poisonous. Alix calmly stepped forward.
His silver sword emitted a soft hum.
Unlike the creature, there was no madness in his eyes.
The abomination raised both claws. Shortly after, the Decay Law condensed into countless gray blades surrounding its body.
Thousands of them.
Every blade possessed enough power to erase a mountain.
Then they all descended at once.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The sky disappeared beneath the endless storm of gray destruction.
Without hesitation, Alix moved.
His figure vanished.
Lightning exploded beneath his feet as he slipped between the countless attacks with terrifying precision.
One step.
Another.
Another.
Not a single blade touched him.
Before the creature could react, Alix had already appeared directly before it.
The silver sword slowly rose. No complicated movement, or unnecessary flourish. Just one clean strike.
SHIIIIING!
A single sword flash illuminated the ruined world.
Time itself seemed to slow.
Then...
The creature stopped moving.
A thin line slowly appeared from the top of its middle head down through its enormous body.
For a heartbeat...
Nothing happened.
Then...
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Its entire body split perfectly in half. Gray flesh exploded outward. Countless black organs spilled through the air.
The Decay Law surrounding it scattered violently.
The two halves crashed onto opposite sides of the battlefield, carving enormous trenches through the shattered earth.
Silence followed.
Alix quietly watched, the blood fountain trembled. Its runes shone brighter than ever.
Streams of blood erupted toward the divided corpse.
The two halves immediately began moving.
Bones stretched toward one another.
Muscles twisted together.
Flesh crawled across the empty space like countless living worms.
Within only a few breaths. The creature stood once again.
