Chapter 261 - II Mirrored Legion (1/2)

Standing at the border between the divine and void territory, a middle aged man with fully back, eyes and a pale expression as he watched the millions of millions of prime beasts advance. The middle-aged man shared similar features to those of the void clan, yet the vicious and ominous aura nature deep in its essence could be easily seen by others. Behind him were several peak eleventh-realm gods as well as the lord of several mid-sized celestial clans.

Upon having Edward as his new prime king, the great one who had no use to his previous servant and possessed his body, soon, he united with his army of beasts and claimed the throne of power as the World King.

Against the horde of prime beasts, with the newly-claimed World King as their enemy, some families and clans thought the allied forces were nothing but a joke. The difference in powers was too great, and there were also those who had land and family back in the cosmic realm.

The king of the energy life forms had barely resisted before he submitted to the world king. Beside him was Apolo who took half of his clan with him to surrender themselves.

The Void King and the leaders of the royal families were not surprised, not everyone had the courage to face the threat of having those close to them all die. The undead race also brought their forces under the banner of their Phantom God.

Differently from other undead beings, this one stand out with his pink skin and red eyes. He stood in front of his army at the border of the Tempest Territory.

Apolo approached the middle-aged man and bowed down. ”My lord, our forces had surrounded most of the major cities in every territory. Soon we'll conquer this world and make it part of the great one.”

The World King waved his hand. ”Good, tell the other to begin the attack. We must take this world before the worst happens.”

”Yes, my lord!” Apolo bowed to the great one and left.

Staring at his flesh body, the middle-aged man felt strange. It was the first time he used a flesh body in his entire existence and it felt a bit weird, but it wasn't a bad feeling. Yet, for some reason he could not stop thinking that something was wrong.

”Strange, I can't feel the any energy in my true body. The existence of mortals seems fainter than ever.”

...

I must find a way to escape this cycle!

With his hammer in one hand and his phone in the other, Elijah laughed in Edward's face. ”Now I know what the main character suffers in video games. Oh hell, this sucks! But I won't stop unless I try everything.”

His phone, then morphed into a gauntlet. Meanwhile, he entered into the depths of his mind. In the outer world, a feather came flying straight towards him who just stretched his hand, which pressed on the feather and threw it at the beast behind him.

”One, two, three, four, five... One, two, three, four, five...” Seizing the opportunity, he moved three steps back, barely avoiding wave of demon fire. This was his one hundred thousand try and his long since memorized most of the old patterns.

Even so, the heat of the flames burned his skin and flesh, but to a person who just experience death a hundred thousand times, this is nothing. Facing the moves of thousands and thousands of beasts, Elijah was dancing with death under the blazing crystal in the sky.

”Those prime beasts are all comparable to celestials, but their intelligence is lacking. As long as I know their next move, only Edward is the true danger.” In no time all the beasts had surrounded him, but they failed to hit even a claw on him. Chloe's illusory body was watching all of this with her mouth hanging open and widened eyes. The way Elijah suddenly changes and face this many enemies without his cultivation.

This situation where the beasts trying to attack him with physical and energy attacks continued for a moment before Edward lost his patience and advanced. Elijah's eyes, however, shone brightly as ever. No fear, fury, hatred or even hesitation in his gaze as he suddenly burned his Lifeforce.
