章 49: Loot!
Not a second passed outside; everything happened in an instant. Azkar analyzed his target to a degree that couldn't be considered mere analysis—it was more like comprehensively reading everything about the enemy.
Azkar observed Zytharion looking at him with confident eyes, fully aware of the source of this confidence.
" [[ Come at me, demon, if you've completed your power-up ]]" Azkar stated with an emotionless tone.
Upon hearing this, Zytharion vanished from his previous location, reappearing directly in front of Azkar. Swiftly, he conjured a fiery dagger in his hand, aiming to thrust it into Azkar's throat. The dagger slashed through the air toward Azkar's throat.
SWOOSH!
Zytharion desired the satisfaction of cutting through Azkar, but to his disappointment, his dagger only sliced through the air as Azkar vanished.
"How is this possible?" Zytharion pondered, saying, "Impossible. How can he dodge it? I locked down the space within 100km. He shouldn't be able to teleport here."
"[[ Your weak ]]" Azkar said with an emotionless voice, simultaneously thinking, "This guy has an insane amount of speed. Without my null acceleration, I can't even imagine matching him in speed."
"What did you say, hahaha! I'll kill you, kill you, kill, kill!" Zytharion lost his mind completely, driven mad by Azkar's words.
Because no matter how much self-control you have, it's unimaginable when a 10-year-old child calls you weak.
Picture this demon as a Primordial being, one of only 12 in this galaxy. He's over 10,000 years old, yet he hears that he is weak from the mouth of a child not even 20 years old.
"He'll Creation," he declared, and a transformation unfolded across the 100 km battlefield.
Zytharion wielded his authority over space manipulation to craft a domain within the dark forest, spanning 100 km. Employing every law available, he turned this realm into the most inhospitable battleground. Flames engulfed everything within, water boiled, and the upper layer of the water ignited, spreading devastation across the entire area. Volcanoes emerged from the water, formed by the manipulation of fire and earth laws. Darkness cloaked the surroundings, with the only source of light emanating from the fiery water.
That wasn't all; the air within the domain turned unbreathable, saturated with lethal toxins fatal to anything unable to endure the conditions of space. Furthermore, numerous space cracks appeared, and even a slight touch could devour everything in their path.
"..."
[8 minutes later]
[[ You're still weak ]]" Azkar said while trying to find any opening in Zytharion. His domain has no effect on him because he can survive in space, let alone anything that can affect him here.
"You hahahahaha, I'll show you who is weak," Zytharion's demonic laughter and his creepy smile make anyone uneasy.
But Zytharion is facing Azkar in this form; Azkar is like an emotionless machine willing to do anything to win.
"Meteor shower," Zytharion said.
The whole sky began to light up because it's nighttime, and everything is already dark. Zytharion created a big space crack in the sky, and many meteors began to come out from this space crack. He accelerated their movements using his vector manipulation.
"Now die, you filthy bastard. I'll kill every single person on this planet; I don't care about my life anymore," Zytharion declared. In his thoughts, he added, "Now show me how you're going to save this worthless planet and its worthless inhabitants, hahaha. Once you do, I'll kill you, and then everything will be mine. I'll take your body with everything you have, hahaha.
Seeing the expression on Zytharion's face, Azkar thought, "He must be thinking like this: now show me how you're going to save this worthless planet and its worthless inhabitants. Once I do, he'll kill me and take my body."
Now, there is one thing left in my plan to execute.
"[[ Shatter ]]" Azkar said as he witnessed many meteorites shattering instantly. However, suddenly,
"Reality Slash," Zytharion used this attack.
BOOOM!
"No000..." Azkar died in front of Zytharion.
Azkar's whole body became lifeless, as if his soul was directly cut by this slash, because Zytharion needed his body, and intentionally did not destroy it.
"Hahaha, die, you bastard," Zytharion teleported in front of Azkar's body.
He checked Azkar's body and found out that he was only 19 years old; this was just a child. Zytharion felt a mix of shame and anger because, being over 10,000 years old as one of the Primordial demons, it was unacceptable for him to take so much time to kill someone so young. However, he had already lost everything, and his only desire was power, no matter the cost.
Now that he found a perfect body for him, he decided to complete his ceremony because if he doesn't, he'll die. When he perceived his time, he found out that he only has 40 seconds to complete his ceremony; otherwise, everything will be in vain.
"Hahaha, I underestimated you, hahahaha. Even in death, you made me forget about the time, allowing me to die naturally, and your worthless planet remains safe. You're truly loyal to your world, but kid, you didn't see this world to understand. Everything you did was not going to change anything. Hahaha, I'll have a sweet time with your relatives, hahaha." Zytharion returned to his base form, canceled his transformation, and every skill.
He manipulated the ground to create a demonic Ancient Magic circle, filling it with both his blood and Azkar's blood. Using both, he proceeded with his ceremony.
"Hahaha, now I'm free, free, free, free—it's true freedom, hahaha. It's awful; I suffered so much. I'll have my revenge," he said while observing the ceremony, which was 90% complete. His soul started leaving his body, heading towards Azkar's body. Now, he was in a state where he couldn't use any of his abilities because, in this state, he couldn't use both bodies simultaneously and was vulnerable.
"It's really awful; you did not deserve this," an unknown person said.
"Yes, it's truly my worst days on this planet. I've suffered enough, and now it's my turn," Zytharion replied.
"You're going to make their life hell, right?" the unknown person asked.
"Hahaha, yes. I'll make their life hell. I'll kill them after torturing them. Hahahaha, I'll make them my slaves. I've never had a good time in 500 centuries. I'll take my time torturing the Zenith family. Hahaha, also, this body's family, haha," Zytharion said.
"[[ Is that so? ]]" Azkar said, revealing his presence. Zytharion understood he was talking to Azkar.
"[[ Cube of nothingness ]] " Azkar said, and he watched as the cube consumed Zytharion's body and soul, the ceremony interrupted, and Zytharion absorbed into the cube of nothingness.
"Impossible! How are you alive? No, no, impossible," Zytharion denied Azkar's existence, but a second later, he understood.
"You cannot kill me. If you kill me, I'll come back. Hahaha, then I'll kill you with this planet. Hahaha," Zytharion declared.
"[[ What a noble thinking you have. For your satisfaction, I'll tell you something that you're not going to see anything after this ]] " Azkar said to him without any emotions, then he saw his loot prompt in front of his eyes.
[+1 Chaos Core obtained…] DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied… [+25 Shard of a World Core are obtained.]
[+200,000 Blood Pearls obtained…] DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied… [+3300 True Blood Pearls are obtained.]
[+200,000 Origin Points obtained…] DING! The effects of Loot Multiplier are applied… [+3300 Cosmic Points obtained.]
" [[ Like I said before, you're nothing but loot in my eyes, and this is your destiny. There is nothing you can do to change it ]]" Azkar said with an emotionless voice.
Azkar observed his clone body beginning to disappear, and after this battle, he came to understand something: he is not overpowered. He needs more power, powerful enough to defeat enemies at least one rank higher than him.
In the earlier fight, Azkar created a clone body and, using null acceleration, changed his position. He hid his presence, and the clone body was hit with the [Reality Slash]. Everything went according to his plan because, upon seeing him dead, Zytharion was in a state of calm. He let his guard down, not using any abilities to shield himself, leaving him vulnerable. Azkar had already made him waste time, and in the end, Zytharion decided not to think and began preparing for his ceremony.
