Chapter 409 Twist
Freyon looked around but he did not find Cygnus. There was only darkness around him. There was no air and his surroundings turned into silence. He knew that the enemy was just there and yet he couldn't find him. Freyon once again filled his sword and his body with divine mana to dispel the darkness.
The gold light grew stronger and stronger until the darkness retreated. When Freyon could finally look around, a black sword suddenly appeared on his chest and Cygnus was behind him. In that short span of time, Cygnus was able to seize the opportunity to sneak behind Freyon and stab him in the back.
Cygnus did not forget to inject black mana into the body of the god of war before he was blown away by Freyon's power. The god of war touched his wound and attempted to close it but because of the black mana, he was not able to heal his own wound. He looked at his enemy with a glare.
Cygnus laughed. He used his sword to support himself and stand up. "Your glare gives me joy. I like it when my opponents look at me in contempt because I made them feel pain. So how is it? Having black mana tainting your divineness, it must be painful and humiliating."
Freyon did not give him an answer. He gritted his teeth and summoned his sword back. Golden light was coming out from his wound and he knew that he had no time to play around. His divine mana was leaking out because of the black mana that was going rampant inside his body.
Cygnus grinned but he too suffered from the god's attack. His left arm grew cracks with golden light on them. He looked down at it and shook his head. "It seems that we are in a similar situation."
"But you will meet your end first," Freyon disappeared and attacked Cygnus once again. There was not hesitation in his movements and every stroke that his sword made was with the intention of killing his enemy.
Cygnus did not let the god push him around. He blocked attack from attack and even went as far as changing the shape of his weapon to turn the tables. His sword turned into a spear and he used it to keep the god's distance from him. He did not stop from thrusting his spear forward and the god used his sword to block the spear's tip.
He then used his sword to push back Cygnus. The master flew back and he took that opportunity to remold his weapon into a bow. He pulled back the string while he was on air and three arrows made of black mana appeared. The arrows flew after he released them.
The god of war summoned a shield and blocked the arrows but Cygnus's attack did not stop there. He multiplied himself into several mirages and fired several shots of arrows from all directions. Freyon's shield expanded and surrounded him which easily blocked the arrows.
The master snapped his fingers and a magic circle appeared above the god of war. A blast of red and black light came out from the magic circle. It hit the god of war and slowly destroyed the shield that was around him. Cygnus did not stop there and with another snap of his fingers, black lightning appeared and hit Freyon.
This time the shield was completely destroyed. Cygnus gritted his teeth and once again summoned a black lightning that managed to hit the unprotected god of war. The once pristine appearance and clothing of the god was marred with black soot and was torn in every place.
Cygnus narrowed his eyes and after the last lightning hit the man, he attacked again. He flashed towards the enemy and stabbed him once again and this time he did it from the front. He then charged his sword with black mana that filled the god's body. Before the god could explode though, a golden light suddenly fell from the sky and hit the both of them.
Cygnus's skin slowly burned. He clenched his jaws and used both of his hands to maintain his grip on the sword that he was holding. He then forcefully pulled black mana from himself and injected it to the god of war. As the golden light disappeared, he was slapped back by an invisible force
A man dressed in white and gold appeared in time and caught the falling body of the god of war. He looked at the direction where Cygnus landed before he took a look at the pitiful state of Freyon. His skin was now marred with black veins and his divine power was seeping out.
"You did well," the god of creation gave Freyon a nod. The god of war wasn't able to answer back as his body slowly disintegrated as all his divine power leaked out.
Kreyat stood straight and slowly walked to where Cygnus was lying. His skin that was burned off was slowly returning to its original state. He was looking up until the god of creation's face appeared above.
"The god of war is dead. The royal family of Lunaira is gone. Are you satisfied now?" Kreyat asked the man who was silently looking at him.
Cygnus laughed, "Satisfied? What I feel right now is beyond satisfaction. I enjoyed every moment of it. How about you, are you satisfied now? Are you really sure that this sacrifice of yours will stop me from destroying the rest of the worlds you created?"
"I believe that this is enough. Sacrificing the god of war and the people of this world is worth it if it means that I can subdue you." A golden magic circle appeared below Cygnus. Golden chains emerged from it and restrained him.
"You are really cruel," Cygnus laughed, "but you cannot restrain me as I already belong to the depths of hell."
Chains of pitch-black color shattered the golden circle and dispersed the golden chains. These chains coiled around Cygnus's body and held him firmly. From the darkness of the abyss, a man appeared and walked towards them. The horns on his head, the black silky hair and red eyes all indicated that it was the demon who entered a contract with Cygnus.
"I enjoyed the show and I even got to see the god of creation once again. How lucky." The demon looked at Kreyat with a grin on his face.
"It never crossed my mind that the high and mighty demon king would enter a contract with a mere human." Kreyat commented after the demon king's words.
"Human? I wonder if he is indeed an ordinary human. When I saw him, he already had divine powers and had the potential to become a god, even more so the god that you have been waiting for." The demon king revealed without removing his eyes from the god of creation. He wanted to see the man's reaction.
Kreyat did not react. He did not believe any word that came out from the demon king's mouth. "He won't reincarnate. We've waited for a thousand years. What you said is impossible."
The demon king suddenly laughed. "I suppose you won't really believe me because you haven't had any contact with Cygnus before he accepted the contract I offered."
The demon king waved his hand over Cygnus who was silently listening to their conversation. The thick black mana that was in his body slowly dissipated and he was left with a golden mana. This time the god of creation had his eyes wide.
"Impossible!" He roared. He jumped from where he was standing towards Cygnus but the demon king once again waved his hand and blasted Kreyat back.
"His soul already belongs to me and I doubt that he will like to go back with you. Now that the contract has been fulfilled, I will take him back. You and the other gods lived without the god of origin. This time, he will be living with me." The demon king looked at Cygnus's direction and gave him a smile.
"How dare you!" The god of creation was angry because the truth was hidden from him.
"How dare me," the demon king laughed, "you and those gods were the reason why he perished all those years ago. I will not let that happen again. From now on, our youngest brother will be protected by me."
