Chapter 136: Grim Reaper - 136
In the skies of the Zhou World, a white dot suddenly appeared. At first, it was so small it was nearly unnoticeable, but it soon expanded until nearly half of the planet could see the grim reapers ship.
Since news of the grim reapers movements had long reached the Zhou world, panic started to spread. As the panic increased, the strongest people left on the Zhou World began to gather all their people in the main area of their lands and activated the formations covering them.
Although many would be left outside of the formations, there wasn't enough time to save everyone. Of course, they only gathered in case the rulers failed to return before the Grim Reaper started his attack.
Five minutes passed in the Zhou World before something happened. From the bottom of the giant bone ship, a hole appeared. From that hole, an endless horde of skeletons jumped down. It seemed more like a white waterfall than a bunch of skeletons, but the aura of death was too obvious to ignore.
After many minutes of pouring, the skeletons formed four different groups. At a very fast speed, those groups went towards the main location of each race's land.
It took another ten minutes for the rulers to arrive. By then, the armies had almost reached the main location of each of the lands.
Despite the rulers strength, the Zhou Solar system had become too big to instantly travel around. As the planets expanded, the space between them did too. Therefore, even a space shattering realm cultivator like Anna took a while to go through the entirety of it.
The rulers prepared to attack the armies traveling towards their lands, but quickly stopped once a familiar skeleton appeared in front of them.
There were no words exchanged between the rulers and the grim reaper as the battle instantly started. The monkey king and the titanosaur backed up to provide support, while anna and the dragon king launched towards the grim reaper to attack.
Anna arrived first as a sword made of ice Qi condensed in her hand and pierced the space in front of it to reach the Grim reaper.
The grim reaper grabbed the front of the sword with his bone hand and stopped it in its place. His other hand, covered with death Qi on the fingertips, shot towards Anna's stomach in a claw shape.
Anna moved her body to the side and jumped backwards, but not before sending a shower of icicles towards the grim reaper.
In the split second their exchange lasted, the dragon king had arrived near the grim reaper. He transformed into his dragon body and breathed demonic flames onto the grim reaper. In return, the grim reaper sent a tornado of death Qi towards the dragon king that dispersed the attack and kept moving forwards, although weaker.
The dragon king covered his claw with dragon Qi and sliced it towards the tornado. Like the grim reapers attack, the dragon kings attack pierced through the tornado and kept going towards the grim reaper, only to be countered with a swipe of his hand.
Before the grim reaper could attack the dragon king, Anna once again appeared next to him, holding a mini blizzard in her palm, and shoved it towards his chest.
Unable to react in time, the grim reaper didn't block and instead sent a bone sword towards the point in between Anna's eyebrows.
In order to dodge the fatal attack, Anna had to twist her body, which made the mini blizzard miss its target. Anna backed away and the dragon king appeared right next to the grim reaper with another attack.
Anna and the dragon king continued their technique in order to tire out the grim reaper, receiving healing whenever they backed off from the monkey king, while the titanosaur helped the monkey king with the burden of Qi.
Despite their best efforts, the grim reaper hadn't slowed down a bit after ten minutes. Also, the skeleton armies had reached the capitals of the lands and began attacking the barriers. Although there were plenty of strong people among the races, there were far more strong skeletons among the armies.
Therefore, even the strongest members of the four lands only attacked with the formations on the barrier instead of going out themselves.
Thankfully, the barriers would last another 24 hours before they began to weaken, and 48 hours before they broke at the current rate of attack.
The back and forth between the rulers and the grim reaper continued for 5 more hours and not a single thing had changed. The sun was starting to go down while the moon had begun rising, but the grim reaper didn't seem tired at all. Instead, the rulers were starting to feel fatigued.
The only good news for the rulers was that the skeleton armies were being thinned out by the formations, but it was only a small amount compared to the total population of the armies.
After another five hours passed and the sun had completely gone down, the rulers realized that they needed to change their strategy. If they didn't they would end up losing.
For the first time since the start of the battle, both Anna and the dragon king backed away from the grim reaper. Thankfully, he had started to feel a small amount of fatigue after that much time and didn't attack.
While they were all together, the monkey king and the titanosaur used up nearly all of their Qi, leaving only enough to protect themselves, and helped increase the strength of Anna and the dragon king.
Although it wouldn't have much of an effect due to the difference in strength, anything was helpful against the grim reaper.
They then took a very short breather and shot towards the grim reaper at full speed. They would no longer take turns attacking, but use their entire strength to hopefully defeat him.
As soon as the grim reaper saw them coming towards him, he formed a sword out of pure death Qi and got into his battle stance.
Chapter 137: Plasma Attack - 137
Anna and the dragon king arrived at the grim reaper and attacked at the same time from opposite sides. Anna slashed out with a sword made of of space Qi that sent an arch of sword Qi and space Qi flying towards the grim reaper, while the dragon king, still in dragon form, used his claws to slash at the grim reaper causing a phantom claw to shoot towards him.
In response, two black arms formed from death Qi and Bone Qi punched towards the two rulers' attacks. By the time the attacks collided, Anna and the dragon king had changed places and attacked again.
From the first collision, it was clear to see that the arm technique was stronger than the two rulers' attacks. While the ruler's attacks dispersed quickly, the arms sustained very little damage and were repaired instantly.
The rulers attacked from two other opposite directions and were once again blocked by the arms. After a couple more rounds of that, the two rulers were ready to completely go all out.
Since they had broken into the space shattering realm, they had gained new ultimate moves.
Very quickly, Anna and the dragon king used their new ultimate moves. On Anna's side, an immense amount of cold Qi and space Qi seeped into her skin, turning it snow white.
With just a glance, Zhou Fan could tell that she had converted all her strength into physical strength, increasing her power greatly. Unfortunately, it came with a price.
Although slowly, cracks had started to spread on her skin. If she kept the form up for too long, she would break like an ice sculpture. Zhou Fan estimated that she had 5 hours before she died.
On the dragon king's side, his body, which had been kept fairly small by him, started to expand swiftly. From the size of one of the towers in central city, to a mountain, he kept expanding bigger and bigger.
His skin became a much more purplish and purple flames covered his skin. He had started to burn his Qi in order to pull off the move, and Zhou Fan estimated that he had 7 hours before his cultivation dropped.
Although the side effect seemed lesser, a major drop in cultivation like one from space shattering to void traversing could heavily injure and likely kill anyone.
The two rulers transformed in just moments, but the grim reaper didn't stay the same either. Although he looked the same on the outside, Zhou Fan knew that he had enhanced his consumption of Qi and would end up suffering from the side effects of Qi exhaustion in around five hours.
With each of their transformations finishing, the battle could last at most another five hours before one side was defeated.
The grim reaper was the first to move this time, teleporting and appearing next to Anna instantly. Since none of the rulers had discovered teleportation, Anna was extremely surprised by the grim reaper's sudden appearance, and was hit by his palm attack, sending her flying back.
On her stomach was a dark palm print that seemed to be trying to corrode her skin. Luckily, her new transformation helped her resist both the impact and the lasting effect with nearly no damage.
As soon as the grim reaper's palm hit Anna, he teleported above the dragon king, who was also surprised by his sudden appearance. However, since he had seen it happen to Anna, he was slightly prepared and shot a breath of flames towards the spot that the grim reaper appeared in.
The flames met with the grim reapers piercing attack as they went past each other and attacked their targets.
The dragon king's flames hit the grim reaper, but barely did anything, while the grim reaper's white and black piercing attack had hit the dragon king's skull and done heavy damage. Luckily, it wasn't enough to hurt him and barely slowed him down.
As the grim reaper teleported next to Anna and started having a slightly long exchange with her, the dragon king internally reflected on his attack.
'My flames aren't doing anything to him. It must be because they are covering such a large range. It may be possible to instead compress my flames and create an attack that could seriously injure him.' The dragon king thought to himself.
Once again, the grim reaper hit Annas back and teleported to the dragon king's side, expecting to easily deal with his attack of flames. The grim reaper shot out a bone spear towards the dragon king's eye, but instead of dodging, the dragon king coated his eye in Qi in preparation for impact and shot out an attack of his own.
The dragon king opened his mouth and a whistling sound started to sound out, followed by a purple glow in his mouth. It sounded as if the dragon king's attack was charging up.
The grim reaper, partly due to arrogance and mostly due to the fact that he expected another flame attack, simply put up a barrier and looked towards anna. If he could teleport without a brief cooldown, he would have already been over there.
As soon as the whistling sound from the dragon king stopped, the grim reaper felt a wave of danger cover him. Since he was no stranger to such a feeling, he instantly turned towards the dragon king and attempted to put more barriers.
Unfortunately, the dragon king's charged attack left his mouth at a speed that matched moving through cracked space.
What left his mouth wasn't flames, but a purple plasma that moved with a whistling sound and instantly shattered the barrier upon impact.
As soon as it broke the barrier, the plasma attack exploded and caused a sphere of condensed plasma to engulf the grim reaper.
Everything happened in an instant, and the plasma soon disappeared, leaving a scorched grim reaper barely standing.
Without hesitation, the dragon king switched to his human form, dodging the grim reapers attack, and created a sword, while Anna used her space sword, and both arrived at opposite sides of the grim reaper.
Anna pierced the back of the grim reaper, while the dragon king pierced his front, leaving two swords going through different spots on his chest.
