Chapter 382: Guilt and Regret (2/2)

”[First Blessing: Eir's Fortitude]!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, both Felix and Eleanor, who were attacking Aurus in tandem, felt like their bodies could do more and achieve more with same amount of power. Not only that, but they also felt like they would be more or less invincible against attacks at the same level as them, perhaps even greater.

With a hint of surprise and shock on their faces, Argentum went ahead and shouted at them, snapping them back to reality. ”I've casted a spell on you two that makes you more or less invincible against his attacks. You can truly go all out now!”

”You hear that, Felix? It's time for us to truly let loose!” Eleanor could not help but say with a chuckle as the clothes she wore in her human form gradually transformed into a long robe made out of gray flames that emanated a feeling of demise and death at the same time. Noticing this, Felix could not help but ask, ”Are you seriously going all out like that?”

”Well, if you're going all out, then might as well!” he said not long after with a chuckle as a layer of dark blue armor made out of solidified water had appeared on top of Felix's clothes as the spear he held had transformed to take on a more offensive form. Soon after, he covered the entirety of his spear in magic circles that amplified the attack power of his spear before thrusting out once more, not caring at all if he had aimed at an opening or not.

”[Tsunami Piercer: Supreme Leviathan Pierce]!”

Whoosh!

Feeling immense danger from the attack coming at him, Aurus hastily used his movement skill to teleport out of the spear's trajectory, prompting Felix to slightly smirk as he had a feeling that something like this would happen. After all, since Aurus was an X-grade Inanimate, even though he could fight against beings of other levels through various means, it was harder to improve one's defense. Naturally, such an attack that did not care for anything other than pure offense was bound to break through Aurus's natural defense and instantly kill him, leaving him no choice but to utilize his movement skill.

Not being disappointed with Aurus moving out of the way, Felix slightly redirected the trajectory of the spear…to aim for Eleanor instead!

Swoosh!

Loosening his grip over the spear, the spear amplified to insane degrees of power instantly appeared in front of Eleanor, who hastily grabbed onto it before spreading her gray flames all over it, imbuing with the aura of destruction and death. As she imbued more and more of her power into the spear, she could not help but say to Felix hastily, ”I can only stay sane for a few more seconds! You better hold him in place!”

”Don't worry!” Felix eased Eleanor's worries as the armor he wore instantly expanded in size, transforming into something that looked like the maw of a large beast. Utilizing the rifts he used to teleport, Felix had appeared behind Aurus once more, catching the latter off guard once more as he used his expanded armor to hold Aurus in place. Wanting to make sure he didn't escape, he went ahead and cast a spell on Aurus that sealed all of his skills and spells, turning him into a lamb that was ready for slaughter.

”Now!” Seeing as how Felix had already done everything to make sure the attack would connect, Eleanor went ahead and dashed forward at the greatest speed she could muster at her current form, thrusting the spear imbued with gray flames as both water and flame intertwined around the spear. At that instant, a large amount of flames were soon expelled from the end of the spear, increasing the penetrative force of the spear.

”[Fusion of Samsara and Chaos: Chaotic Leviathan Rhongomyniad]!”

Bang!

With Aurus being deprived of his ability to move away from the trajectory of the spear, it seemed that his body had decided to make a move on its own, returning Aurus back to his original state as his rationality and logicality took over his body at the very last minute, realizing that his body had moved by itself once more, which led him to this current situation.

Closing his sense of vision as he accepted the consequences of his actions, even if it was not made consciously, he could not help but become confused as he did not feel any pain whatsoever from the attack that was coming at him, even though he knew he would die for sure. With that in mind, he wondered if he died before his body could even transmit the pain…only to remember that he was an Inanimate, which felt no pain in the first place.

Curious as to what had happened next, Aurus slowly opened his eyes, only to notice that nothing was binding him anymore, with the two people seeking to destroy him now hovering at one side, allowing him to move as he liked. As he wondered why the two had not done anything else after that, he took a look around his surroundings, only for him to notice another being that he was not expecting to see at this instant.

”Argentum…?” Aurus could not help but mutter in surprise. It was only at that moment did he recall through their shared memories that Argentum was in the process of developing a town. Unfortunately, the town his bloodlust had chosen was the town his clone was developing.

”Why did you kill all of those people?” Argentum could not help but ask in response, feeling more and more anger welling up in him. ”They were innocent, Argentum. Innocent!”

”I…” Knowing very well that his actions were wrong, Aurus did not have the courage to look at Argentum in the eye, facing his head down. In the end, Aurus had no other choice than to teleport out of the town, only leaving the three with words of parting.

”I…”

”…I'm sorry for everything I've done.”
