Chapter 250 - XX Ragnarok (2/2)
”Old geezer. Why can't you die already, aren't we all going to die anyway?”
Odin swinged his spear deflecting Skoll's claw. ”You can die anytime you want, but I sincerely want to stay here a little more.”
A couple small cuts appeared on Odin's body when he deflected the claw. Surely the two wolves were much faster than him.
Whoosh! The three of them moved all over the battlefield, exchanging blows, deflecting the other moves and soon most of their forces were consumed.
The two wolves tried to stop him, but at least a 90% of the enemy army fell in the battle. Seeing his army would surely manage to wipe out the giants, the corner of his lips raised. A glint appeared in Odin's eye before he suddenly spurted blood from his mouth, nose and ears. The red wolf's eyes lit before it appeared behind Odin, and the latter's chest was ripped apart the former's pair of claws.
The entire battlefield froze when they saw Odin fall, but at the last most his eye gained a hint of vigor.
”Brother, no!” Skoll realized it was trapped and tried to help its brother, but it was too late. A pair of hands grabbed the red wolf by the throat. The small spark of light, he struggled to keep within his body burned as he muttered his last words. The two wolves widened their eyes before a pair of blood arrow formed from Odin's blood on the ground and hit them on the head, both of them tried to scream, but fell lifelessly to the ground.
”Blood Curse: Death!” In his last moments, the faint figure of a bright and valiant middle-aged man appeared before his eyes.
For thousands and thousands of years he walked steady and never
Deviated from his path. Knowing his fate which was carved in stone since his birth, how could he not fear it like anyone else. His clan members may call him the Allfather, but it didn't make him able to face his destiny without fear.
Now his consciousness was flowing away, and the only regret left in his heart was the whereabouts of his son. As his thoughts grew fainter, the image in his mind solidified for a moment.
He saw a continent, no, an entire world taken by the beasts, a purplish-black palace rose from the ground, painting the world in the colors of despair. The sky was soon taken by the darkness and before that ominous, perverse and evil, darkness, that world slowly fell apart.
As if everything was lost, a bright and colorful red and blue rays of light illuminated the sky, revealing a dark-red humanoid being. Dancing around him were the blue and red particles that spread all over the world. And as if time stopped, the same figure suddenly turned, his gaze staring directly into the void.
Odin thought to himself as his consciousness finally dispersed. ”So this is where you are now...”
Far away, a man stood in the void watching everything happen. Each time you look at him, more wrinkles began to appear on his face while hair gained several white threads. His accelerated aging caused his face to become pale, so pale that even a mortal would be scared to see the state the man was in. His eyes, however, they changed into an ocean of stars, his eyes showed everything he needed to know, but at the same time his body turned paler as he used this power. ”It's time to put this countless eons plan in practice, spreading the universal salvation lotus.”
