Chapter 112: God-Slaying Blade (2/2)

Zod immediately retracted his blade, pulling away the distance from Xi Wei.

“You’re strong, and I commend you for it, but you will not be able to damage us without the power of miracles. This is the iron rule of this world, and unfortunately for you, you did not create a miracle.”

Xi Wei spread his arms and continued, “Using the words of that lion, it would probably be, “I recognize you as the strongest existence under a legendary warrior!”…Or something like that, anyway.”

“It’s fine, don’t I have another target right here? The night is long, so let me have some fun!”

Zod was not respectful in the slightest towards Xi Wei, and instead seemed to become even more excited.

Xi Wei only snapped his finger in response, and an invisible pulse of energy sent Zod flying into the wall, making him cough out blood upon impact.

As the hideout of the Temple of Justice, all of the walls of the tavern had been fortified beforehand, and couldn’t be damaged easily.

Zod stood up shakily, and his expression was void of any pain, but instead, the maniacal glint in his eyes became even brighter.

But as he stepped towards Xi Wei, his features became even more twisted.

“Ahhh!” Zod ripped off his trench coat and revealed his shirt that was drenched with blood, and even through the layer of cloth, the runes that were glowing bright crimson were still clearly visible, with their core being his heart.

It was clear that those crimson runes were strengthening his body, and converting him into a being that wasn’t human anymore.

Zod immediately raised his sword and used its hilt to hit his chest right over his heart with all his strength, and judging from the resounding thud, the heart of a regular person would probably burst from the impact.

“Don’t butt in! I want to challenge these damned deities as a human! Aaarghhh!”

Even Xi Wei was taken off guard by these actions of Zod’s.

As the swordsman growled and shouted, the crimson runes on his body disappeared too.

Once this happened, however, Zod paled considerably as if he was weakened from what he did.

“Look, this is my final…” As if he used all of his strength, Zod gripped tightly on his sword and pointed it towards Xi Wei.

At this moment, Xi Wei knew that he could definitely kill Zod without sustaining any injuries, but upon seeing his current state, he sighed softly and fixed him with a serious gaze. “Come!”

“God-Slaying Blade!”

The figure of the human and the deity crossed over each other, and the two figures stood with their backs to each other.

A moment later, Zod’s body slumped weakly onto the floor.

“I still lost in the end… Can humans… Truly not come close to deities…?”

“No, you created a miracle in the end.” Xi Wei turned over to him and stretched his arm in Zod’s direction.

On his index finger was a wound so small it could be compared to a paper cut. “Congratulations, you are the first human that hurt a deity without stepping into the legendary stage.”

“What an honor, that is… What deity are you… Did you come to kill me for… Justice, too?”

“I am the God of Games. Also, I’m really not all that interested in all this riffraff about demons, and the only reason why I killed you was because you killed one of my believers in front of the lion… See, the guy right over there.” Xi Wei pointed at the player’s corpse that had started to disappear once the revival timer ran out.

“Hah…What an interesting deity…” Zod said slowly. “Ahh…I can’t see…Anything….Ahh…I want to swing my blade….One more time….”

“…” Xi Wei sighed softly, and reached down to tap at Zod’s forehead gently. “I can’t fulfil this wish of yours, but I can help to pass down your legacy…”

Zod didn’t reply, only dying in silence.
