Chapter 501 - 449 : How it Shall End 1 (1/2)
”F-Fenrir!”
The snake woman shrieked with a high pitch as she stared at the white wolf, bespectacled by the legendary creature's sudden appearance. As she felt Fenrir's domineering aura, she was able to link it with Saly but the latter's was almost non-existent and she never thought that the small figure fighting her previously is actually a damned Fenrir!
No longer did she rage around trying to chase after Saly, she retracted her fiery aura and slowly backed away, unwilling to face the ginormous beast dominating the whole sky.
”This is actually…”
Gob-smacked, the oldest of the three monks stared at the white wolf with wide-open eyes and a frozen body, unable to believe what he was witnessing. After remaining at this shocked state for several seconds, he snapped out of it when an ear-splitting explosion was caused by the Fenrir, who used its body to bang on the brownish tentacle.
”Devotee, get yourself together! Amitabha!”
The monk's thundering voice rang inside his comrade's ears, making his body tremble and calming his wavering gaze and unsteady aura. As for the monk fighting Arthur, he was closer to Fenrir than the other two so he was more affected and in a much worse state. The beast's mere presence was enough to crush the old man's morale and cause him to fall on the ground, violently shaking from fear.
Though Fenrir's wrath wasn't directed at him, it was still hostile and it is dangerous even for Exalted Gods, moreso for Overgods.
Arthur and Lucy didn't just sit by and watch, they tried to assist the Fenrir but were unsuccessful as the Fourth Wave and a 3rd Grade bullet shot by the revolver were sucked into a strange wormhole which surrounded the white wolf and the tentacle.
As for the Angel of Death, it was freed thanks to Saly's interference. It tried to attack the large slithering 'python' but it was flung back by the wormhole, which blocked everyone from joining the monstrous battle between two ancient and powerful entities.
Although it was but one tentacle, it was still resilient and tough to beat. The Fenrir slashed at the tentacle, taking some of its skin and causing terrifying wounds, however, it was also wounded in several places, mainly its front legs, which were bleeding excessively.
Seeing that they were unable to help their daughter, the couple shifted their attention to the praying monks. The best solution is to stop the monks' prayers and let the red gate close on its own. Without the old men's chanting and the use of the golden rope, the gate won't have the support it needs and it'll return where it came from.
An enlarged Makaze released a deafening roar as it started vibrating intensely in Arthur's hands. The black flames covering it abruptly vanished and were replaced by a suffocating amount of Sword Essence, a multi-colored brilliance covered the edge of the dark blade and was ready to be unleashed.
This was the fifth wave of [Thousand Waves], an attack that cost too much Mental Power and energy and is exhausting to the boy, though, fortunately, Arthur became a Soul Parasite so the burden was halved, more or less.
'Fifth Wave, a rainbow after the rain, a song after the pain; Supernova!'
