Chapter 437 437: The Northern Campaign VII
SOMETIME AGO...
RAEN VALLEY
"I think it's stupid this thing you want to do, I have some knowledge in regards to magic and a little bit of alchemy. It's a difficult sphere to master seeing as you would be going beyond what your skills offer." Cole said as he pushed Razor to the side, the teen stumbled and jumped over a small garden ledge.
"So I should just focus on combat power instead and go alchemy, you would love for me to blow things and people every which way just like you huh?"
"Not necessarily, I just think that you're too much of a nerd." Cole said to Razor, as the younger boy looked at him askance then shrugged his shoulders seemingly agreeing with Cole had just said to him.
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Not at all, I'm a nerd too you know, but look at me now. Nerds are awesome, we always end up ruling the world, or changing it, improving on it…destroying it." Cole's gaze took on a far off look as Razor brought him back to speed.
"Do you think that's what I'm going to become? A destroyer?" Cole paused then moved close enough to put his arm over Razor's shoulder, the sun a giant ball of sinking fire in the background.
"No you should leave the destroying to the big brothers, you, your generation will perfect the Chaos we deliver, give it meaning. Where I destroy and sow chaos, you will give life and order. Raens have to be much more than proponents and agents of Chaos…..we should also be the Herald of order and growth.
It's crazy really, I think at some point I'm hoping when people hear a Raen is coming, chaos and all. They would happily welcome the shit storm that comes their way, and that would be because there will be people like you ready to pick up the pieces and make things better. That what you are Razor….. you're future.

THE PRESENT
The wind roared in Cole's eyes, as he peeled his eyes away from Razor's body. The feeling that something has been torn away from his chest was extreme, he almost couldn't breathe.
But the adrenaline would not relent, nor the rage, or the fact that the manic wails of Cassandra seemed to fuel it even higher. A shockwave spread out from his body as Cole used [Shadow Dance] to move through the walls, landing right out of the tunnel Tiana was some how using to escape.
"TIANA!"
Cole had ended up behind them, and as he screamed her name out she turned around to look at him, and for the first time since they have both had the misfortune of knowing each other, Cole was looking at her with the intent to kill, and it was all he could think about.
She turned around and hurriedly moved ahead, she was right in the middle of a group of Northerners, through from what he could see, more than a few of them have already been infected by her and become revenants themselves.
There was no stopping Cole though, not with this amount of hate in his heart. He rushed forwards, leaping into the air as he turned his body to the side using [Gravity] on himself to enable him run on walls as arrows, bolts and skills flew harmlessly over the area he once occupied.
Before any of them could adjust their aim, Cole changed the [Gravity] of the entire tunnel they were in, eliminating it completely as he utilized his skill in a way he never has before.
As they lost balance floating in the air, Cole caused the Gravitational pull between two of the Revenant Northerners to increase by an extremely huge margin, so huge that when both individuals collided with each other, all that was left was a spray of blood and meshed meat…..neither one of the two could be told apart from their remains.
But Cole was not done yet as [Methuselah] showed up in his hands and he threw it forwards, empowering it with [Gravity] whilst flooding it with [CHAOS] this fundamentally different from the normal [Chaos].
There was a concept in the air, the idea of what Chaos could represent, of what it could do. As it had been pumped full of energy, the spear burst out in a radiance of green, reddish purple and brown light that spread around the tunnel around it.
Everywhere the light passed, greenery and life burst out, roots and vines, flowers and berry trees. Tiana reacted on time as thousands of tentacles poured out of her skin to encase her and the female revenant smuggler that has been together with her from the beginning.
Everyone else was left to their fate as the spear stabbed through one man and carried him along until it reaches the end of the tunnel where it was buried to the hilt with the man still held aloft by it.
As for the other Northerners, those of them who were left had been cut in the wake of [Methuselah's Chaos] had completely been taken over by the Advent of nature. Their bodies, transformed into living sculptures of wood and flowers, some of them even produced fruits from their bodies.
Cole stretched his hand forwards and [Methuselah] shot backwards into his grasp before he sent it to his inventory. [Black Malakai] made an appearance then as Cole settled into the starting stance for the [Black Demon Swordsmanship].
[Wrath Demon Drive]
Energy flooded Cole, his heartbeat pumping so loudly in in his veins that it could be heard outside of his body. His horns grew longer as Cole took a single step forward in slow motion the ground seemed to crack under the weight of the sheer amount of force Cole put into that step...he was absolutely not holding back.
*BOOM!*
*BANG!"
The dome made of bio-mechanical tentacles protecting Tiana was blasted away when Cole swung into it, his entire movement through the tunnel created a sound wave so powerful that Cole passed, he turned the nature swallowed Northerners to dust, and even went so far as to crack then foundations of the wall above them.
Tiana's dome withstood the attack, it developed a fine scratch that was bleeding blood and was even blasted backwards through the tunnel until it smashed into the body of the northerner that was speared. Somehow his body was still hanging aloft. But it did not matter as it was promptly turned to pulp while Tiana let out a sharp squeal of pain.
From the impact, even the tentacles had taken damage from the way Cole had attacked, and he was far from done. The tentacles extricated themselves from her body and smashed towards Cole, each and every single one of them had on glowing scripts and sigils on them that attacked Cole with a fury.
At first he evaded all of them until one got particular close to his neck and Cole had to use [Black Malakai] to parry the strike. However the moment the tentacles touched the blade it almost seemed as if the weight of the sword had increased by a thousand fold, he dug his heels in as he was pushed back a few meters.
It seems Tiana was not all mouth after all. She used the space that she had created for herself by pushing Cole way to whip her tentacles around herself in a fury and jump up. Her cocooned body spun rapidly into the air as drilled her way upwards and away from Cole. Cole on the other hand shook his head to the left and to the right as he smiled to himself…..
"You want to play hard to get huh? Okay let's play!
