Chapter 308: Gu Shen - Scarlet Night (1/2)

Releasing the air from my lungs, I gazed at the massive pillar of flames storming the skies. I did not know why but something felt wrong. The hair's upon my back was rising, and the howls of laughter were echoing out from the skies. Sending chills down my spine.

Slowly a being appeared head had orange hair, and eyes consumed with rings.”You shall know Pain!” He said, raising his two palms out to my surprise. ”Almighty Force”

Thinking only of myself, soul force rushed through my body as I bolted like a beam of light into the distance. Yet a power, unlike anything I saw in a mortal, consumed my very being. Decimating the land, the flames, and the darkness around me.

BOOOOOM!!!!!”

”Celestrial Armor!” Screamed in panic as a vibrant golden armor given to me by my father coved my entire body. However, blood gushed from my lips as I, along with everyone in my party, was blasted away, unable to resist.

Skidding over the floor without any control, I was blasted through various housing, somehow missing people. Coughing up a mouthful of blood, my eyes only widened in horror as a scarlet moon appeared behind the man who raised his arms.

”I leave the rest to you.” He said, his body fading into mist as another appeared. This time he seemed to be in a robe with various clouds. His eyes were crimson as he pointed towards me. Sending my entire world into grey, the only thing in color being his crimson eyes and the scarlet moon.

”No, this cannot be real,” I fearfully shouted, shivering in dread, as I appeared shackled to a cross before I could even tell what happened. At the same time, the stranger approached, holding a rod. He did not speak, holding an indifferent expression. ”This is an illusion! It has to be an illusion!”

'AAAAAAAH!”

Tearing a hole into my body, blood gushed from my mouth as I screamed in horror. My armor was easily being pierced over and over like it was butter.

”STOP! STOP!” I roared, begging even, as I exploded out with as much Celestial QI as possible. Yet, the only thing I was met with was a rod through the pit of my stomach. Yet, it was not over; no, it was far from over as he continuously tore into my flesh. Tearing up, hours passed like days, and days like years before I fell to my knees, watching as the color of the world returned.

”Arsene, Stop this!” I weakly muttered, not understanding what was going on.

”Banka...”

”Arsene, Hed my command!” I yelled, waving my palm as a massive lance appeared within my hands. Only to be overwhelmed by the strange flower consuming my vision.

Roaring out load the minor divinity I had gathered exposed out from my body, shattering the space around me. ”I will not fall for this! Arsene!” I bellowed, thrusting my lance high into the air as a massive star appeared at the tip.

”I will not lose! I WILL NOT!” I roared, slapping my lance against the pavement consuming the land in nothing but destruction. ”Celestial Star God” I screamed using one of my strongest Artes.

BOOOM!!!!

Consuming everything with its destruction, a burst of laughter that sent chills down my spine echoed out as a clown appeared smiling at me?
