481 Scripted Event Sunclaw Kingdom Conquest 6/?: Celicas Worries (1/2)

Melarnus moved to a safe distance from Truhan as he glanced at his body… it was still completely set ablaze, the fire was slowly not only consuming his body but his soul and that of Geggoron's split soul, eroding them bit by bit…

”T-This flame is not only impossible to set off, but it is enhanced with Divinity Devouring?! Impossible! Since when this being acquired such technique? So not only Kireina's allies that we saw earlier, but this monster that came out of nowhere possess such power?! T-This is ridiculous! But I will not let it easily kill me…! At least, I shall destroy his soul!”

Truhan seemed to have felt the curses and spells conjured over his wounds, but by using his Aura, which was infused with Divinity Devouring, he cleaned his wounds with the fire and closed them easily, the curses were cleaned by Divinity Devouring without much effort.

”Hmph, pesky curses or spells won't do anything to me! Alongside Master's help, I've been granted with an Orichalcum skin and flesh!” said Truhan.

After he evolved in the dungeon, Truhan's skills related to his muscles and skin evolved with him, becoming almost impenetrable by normal means, and were also capable of easily blocking magic or weak cursing spells.

When this was coupled with his blazing aura that could easily close his wounds by 'purifying' them, Truhan had an almost impenetrable defense without even wearing armor.

”T-The curses are not working?! B-But that's… from where this guy came from?! Damned Oni!” roared Geggoron's split soul, rushing through the battlefield while enhancing its entire body with a Nightmarish Aura and a Holy Aura, originating from Melarnus.

A large horn appeared on its forehead as he rushed towards Truhan like a sharp javelin!

Flash!

”Let's see if your armor muscles can resist the sharpness of my needle-like horn!”

”Aura Armor,” said Truhan.

Clash!

Crack, crack!

Geggoron's split soul heard the sounds of something cracking and if the flesh was punctured. On his mind, he thought that he had finally managed to penetrate Truhan's hard flesh!

”…eh?”

But a sharp pain filled its entire body, not only his horn did not pierce Truhan, but his blazing armor made out of his Aura protected him from the impact. Only Geggoron's split soul was affected.

The impact crushed its bones and flesh once again, and the horn was sent flying, completely detached from its skull, and revealing the fleshy brain inside.

”UUGGH… GGRAAA…”

Melarnus began to gasp for hair as it fell over the ground. The blazes over its body were already grilling him alive, and his soul had cracked in the meantime of this short fight… barely resisting until it was to fragment into pieces.

”N-No… How could… it be? So easily… defeated… He didn't even attack me this time?!” thought Geggoron's split soul.

”Blazing Demon King's Execution!” roared Truhan, as his blazing axe fell over Melarnus as if it were a meteor in the shape of an axe.

CLASH!

”G-Gyaaaaaa!!!”

Truhan's axe converged in yellow, red, and orange blazes, slicing both Melarnus's body and soul in half… the countless cracks on his soul, which was fused with Geggoron's split soul expanded, breaking apart into countless pieces!

Crack, crack!

Clash!

”Even the artifact was destroyed… I never stood a chance from the start… Just… how utterly hopeless are we against her and her army…?” thought Geggoron's split soul as his consciousness was dragged into the void.

Truhan bathed on the blood that spurred all over him, as he glanced at the tiny pieces of dark glass that were the fragmented divinity of Melarnus and Geggoron's split soul.

”So, it lasted around… three hits? Hm, when I had a mock battle against Wagyu, he received more than fifty attacks and kept going just as fine! What a letdown. Well, at least there is a delicious dinner for tonight. Hopefully, Celica-chan can cook something nice,” said Truhan, grabbing on the corpse and the fragmented glass-like divinity pieces.

-----

Sacred Light White Wolf Swordsman, Melarnus and his medium-sized Geggoron's split soul: deceased.

Cause of death: burned alive, and sliced in half by Truhan's axe technique. Managed to withstand three hits.

-----

Sensing that her husband had already dealt with the enemy pretty quickly, Celica could not help but sigh a bit. Truhan was not capable of controlling his strength, and each of his attacks most of the time carried all of it.
