Chapter 231: Blood Riegn (2/2)
<Chrimson WInds + Arcane Gale>
Suddenly a massive twirling appeared as I arrived before the petrified Hobgoblin; turning to me, I saw the other two hobgoblins shiver as my eyes gleamed with a powerful force as a massive invisible sphere appeared.
With dragonsbane and true intent fusing into one, blood showered the entire area as screams and wails consumed me. Turning the first hobgoblin to a fine mist of crimson before he could react, my blade continued to the nearby goblins shredding them.
Licking my lips at the blood raining over me, I watched as the hobgoblins arrived at me as my blade came to a halt. Releasing a vicious smile, the blood rising over the azure skies froze at my will.
Wind and Blood were the main two components of Crimson Winds. They were mine to control. Like fire, lightning, and the winds, I had no issue manipulating them.
Freezing in their tracks, my gaze began to be consumed with the profound concept of blood. Suddenly a gentle breeze showered everyone with its graze as the roar of Grandmeir filled my ears.
”RETREAT!!!!! ARSENE, DON'T DO IT!!!”
<Blood Riegn>
At my words, the mist fell as everything vanished. The tree, the grass, and the bodies that seem to consume the ground vanished as the misty air swept across the land, leaving only a pool of crimson. Silence quickly consumed my eyes and sight as all the QI within my dantian vanished.
Falling to one knee, I began gasping for breath as my mind connected with the darkness, allowing me to know if anyone was still alive. Wiping the sweat from my face, I took a deep breath as the Demonic Sacrilege Mantra activated, sucking the qi of heaven and earth dry.
Pushing my exhausted body up, I dragged my feet closer as four pears of arms sprung from the pool of blood. Clawing its way out, my mind began flashing as a depraved scream sounded from the two hobgoblins' mouths.
”It's due to my quality of Qi. I am far too weak. Thank god my comprehension allows me to at least damage you two.” I said in a weary tone.
Smirking, I arose as my blade began to glimmer with true intent. Observing their skinless bodies and missing eyes, my smile could only deepen as I shot off the earth towards them like a blur. With my steps silent due to the darkness, dragonsbane shot towards one of their heads with cold intent.
However, to my surprise, the hobgoblin was able to sense my attack dodging at the last second; nevertheless, with a tilt of Dragonsbane, it twisted, severing his arm from his body as it cried out.
”RETREAT! I WILL REMAIN RETREAT,” it yelled as tears of blood flowed from its empty sockets like streams over the land.
Sending a deep glance towards the Hobgoblin, shedding tears and the other, I shook my head as I used the sliver of qi I had begun to gather. Suddenly the skies began to darken, sending shiver towards all those that gazed up.
Looking at the lightning emblem of the Heavens, my eyes flashed as qi from all around Midgard began to be consumed. With the crackle of lighting tracing across like streams, both Hobgoblins froze, staring up high into the air.
”Gate of Truth is not enough. Had I used this initially, I would not have needed to use that new arte of mine.” I whispered as the two fell to their knees. Shaking my head, I snapped as hell fell towards the duo, turning them into nothing but ash.
Lowering my head, a wave of exhaustion filled me as the rain slowly began to consume the land with its tears.
”When will the Court of Nox appear? I am growing rather impatient for a worthy foe.”
