Adidja and Rodney stood by and watched everything play out. In some moments, Rodney wanted to take action but Adidja blocked every attempt.
"Why didn't you try to escape?"
Having gained a complete understanding of the situation, Rodney couldn't suppress his curiosity.
Adidja's gaze was locked on the distant sky not looking at anything in particular.
"I suppose I'm just tired."
Elk and Earlon have already arrived by this time forming a triangle around Adidja.
No one wanted to make the first move. All of them hesitated.
Things had already escalated to this point and millions of years worth of history couldn't be forgotten just like that. There's no way they could back down now.
Snort!
Earlon destroyed the moment as he made his move. The entire earth bent to his will as it tried to swallow up Adidja but he was a little too slow.
Adidja teleported in front of him, grabbing his head, releasing a blast of energy at point blank range in his face. But…
He couldn't finish the job.Elk's sword came slashing down for his hand and Rodney was at his back.
Still holding onto Earlon's head, Adidja spun around and tossed Earlons body towards Elk while rushing to challenge Rodney head on.
Elk's sword strikes were always viscous. Adidja's action wasn't exactly able to stop the strike, only slightly shifting its course, with his leg getting hit by the strike.
As Rodney comes closer, lightning started cracking across his body with the lightning clouds already gathered above.
Boom!
When both Rodney's lightning covered fist and Adidja's blood red covered fist made contact, the impact blasted them hundreds of meters apart and turned one-fourth of the city into rubble.
Before Adidja could even catch his breath, Elk's sword strike came from above. But unlike last time, Adidja didn't run but raised his forearm to block the strike. All of the blood red energy converged on his arm to to form a shield.
Elk was pressing his full weight down on the shield when Adidja simply shifted his weight to the side causing Elk to lose his balance. Taking advantage of the moment, Adidja spun around grabbing the unbalanced Elk by the back of his head.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Adidja kept firing off energy blasts as he flew down to the ground and slammed him down the earth. He didn't stop though. He stood up and fired more compacted blasts.
Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!
… It's too late when he noticed the crackling of lightning coming right beside him. He couldn't dodge. All he could do was raise his hand to take the kick head on.
Boom!
Adidja's body flew back without stop, demolishing buildings after buildings.
"I guess I didn't sense wrong before, you've reached the pinnacle of tier two True God"
Adidja slowly got up.
Boom!
He shot out of the hole he's in, heading for Rodney.
Refusing to be outdone, Rodney dashed towards Adidja. His entire body turned into light yet, he was still knocked into the sky.
Adidja stood in the air. His bloody aura getting stronger and stronger wrapping his body until it couldn't be seen anymore.
Rwaaaarrr!!
Waves upon waves of energy spread out from his body knocking Rodney out of the sky. Even when he was buried in the ground energy kept assaulting him, each wave stronger than the last.
"Ahhh!!!!", Rodney roared in pain.
The lightning clouds above reacted to his pain and lightning converged smiting Adidja.
Boom!!
As the lightning came in contact with the blood red energy, a vicious battle ensued but only for a moment. When the lightning was obstructed, as if enraged that something would dare, it's power started increasing limitlessly.
'Tribulation?....mhmm'
Noticing the increase in power, Adidja teleported right in front Rodney then channeled a massive amount of energy to his fist, his arm looked as if it was covered with a thick layer of blood.
Waham!!
Adidja slammed down his fist in Rodney's stomach ripping a hole through it.
Boom!!!!!!
The lightning in the sky wasn't interrupted, even for a second, by the residual energy Adidja left in the sky.
...
Azreal was starting to feel like it would have been easier if he had died a moment ago.
His own energy was raging throughout his body and it refused to calm down even if he was starting to get used to it.
Unfortunately for him, another energy that was completely foreign to him suppressed his own energy. Normally that would be a good thing but the foreign energy was far far stronger than his own.
So when it ran through his body, even though it was calm, the damage it caused was far worse than what his own energy did.
The blood started gushing out of his mouth. But this time, the blood wasn't Black, it was just regular blood from the ruptured organs in his body.
Azreal couldn't help but start ripping off all of his clothes because his body started to feel like it was burning up.
"Ahhh!!!"
Curling up into a ball on the ground, the completely naked Azreal screamed as the pain got worse. The surface of his skin started cracking up, starting from his chest, until his entire body was covered in blood.
His body slowly started swelling and shrinking, looking like a balloon that was ready to pop at any time.
Boom!!
His entire body exploded but the piece of his flesh didn't go too far before coming back together and vanishing as if it was sucked into a hole, even his sword was gone. The only thing left behind was his clothes and the scattered pieces of clothing.
Watching all of this, the young man was filled with curiosity but not the type that would come from not being able to understand something, but from when you saw an amazing magic trick.
...….
Castle in Waterford.
A ring flew in through a window of the throne room letting out a gentle hum that rang across the entire castle.
Within seconds of hearing the hum, Rhyno, Grimm and Shawn appeared in the room kneeling before the ring.
Shortly after Sheba, Kesha and Shahiem ran into the room.
Just looking at Sheba and Kesha's eyes, it was obvious that they'd been crying and Shahiem didn't look much better. Even though he wasn't crying, it looked like he was on the verge of it.
As everyone appeared in the room, a figure slowly formed from the ring in the form of a smiling Adidja.
