Chapter 45 - Death of Ehit! (2/2)
I said to the girl and they nodded. Such understanding women. Taking a step, I vanished and appeared inside the globe. I could see apostles attacking all around in panic. Ehit did a really poor job? I mean, an emotionless angle like women is useless. At least add some emotions in them.
Right now, this space, inside the globe of chains, was . I was going to use world laws to modify their souls and make it more animated.
---
When Wang Lei was modifying the souls of the apostles, the outside was not so calm. Once Wang Lei went inside the globe of the chain, Ehit lost his connection with the apostles. Knowing that Want Lei was not in the same dimension anymore, he thought it was the best time if he wanted to take over someone's body.
He tried taking Yue's or Qingyue's body but was blocked as every time his mana touched them, it got dispersed. Yielding no result with them, he tried Wang Lei's other party member but the result was the same.
”No other choice, I will go with Kouki. Even though he is kind of weak, I can use concept magic to have him the same power as mine—Peak.”
Putting his eyes on Kouki, he completed the connection without any problem since he already made a connection with Kouki's soul when he was summoned in this world by him.
Kouki was looking at the situation with envy.
'Why can't I have the same power as him? I am the hero then why is he stronger than me?'
Looking at how Wang Lei took care of more than half-million demons and monsters with his party, he was gratified but—at the same time—he envied him for having so much power.
'You want more power than him?'
Kouki heard a voice inside his mind that startled him.
'Who are you?' Kouki asked in his mind.
'Who am I? Does that matter? What matters is that I can give you the power you seek!'
'What you mean?'
'You want to became as strong as 'him', right? You want to become stronger than Nagumo Hajime, right? You want to bring Kaori back to you, right? For that you need power! And I, Ehit, can give you that power!'
'Ehit?! You are Ehit? Why do you think I will believe you when Nagumo said that you're an Evil God?'
'Do you really believe that heretic, Kouki? He is trying to deceive you, just like he did to Kaori and others! Soon Shizuku will leave your side too and join Wang Lei. Do you really want that to happen?'
'I don't!'
'That's right, you don't. So seek my power, seek me and I shall give it to you. The power to rule all!'
Kouki greeted his teeth and did as what Ehit said. Soon he felt unknown energy flowing in his body as he lost control over it. He started to panic as he could feel that his control over the body was losing with every passing second. 'What are you doing?!'
'Hahaha! Did you really think I will give you my powers for nothing in return? Adios! (Bitch!) As this body will belong to me from now on! I appreciate your effort, Most Stupid Hero!'
Kouki felt his consciousness blurred before everything in front of him blacked out.
”Kouki, are you alright?” Shizuku seeing Kouki acting weird asked but got nothing in return. She wanted to check on him when suddenly he started to laugh hysterically.
”Hehehahaha! Finally! I am back! The great Ehit is back!” Kouki—Ehit shouted as he looked at the sky, opening his arms wide.
Shizuku wide-eyed looked at him. She felt threatened by him. Hurriedly taking a step back, she vanished appeared some distance away from him.
Ehit stopped laughing and looked down at her, ”Why are you running and distancing yourself from me, Shizuku? Come here, we are childhood friends, right?”
”Who are you?!” Shizuku said, taking out of her sheath.
”Who am I? What are you talking about? It's me, Kouki. Your childhood friend!”
Tio, Miledi, and Shea felt a change in Kouki as his energy sored to the point where even they felt threatened by it. They teleported and stood beside Shizuku.
”You finally showed yourself, Ehilt!” Miledi said.
Other hearing her were shocked but they quickly composed themselves.
”Ah~! Miledi, my dear! How are you still alive? You should have been rooting in that dungeon of yours as a piece of junk. How did you get your body back?” Ehit said not denying her claim.
Miledi smirked as she said, ”I met your doom there and it provided me with a new body!”
Ehit hearing him stopped laughing as he scowls at her, ”My doom? Heh! Are you dreaming or something. Just like how you and other liberators died, how dragon-man died, he will die too!”
Tio hearing him had her aura surging as other people around them—the group of girls—started to feel suffocated.
”Tio-san…” Shea took her hand, trying to calm her.
Tio took a deep breath to calm herself down. She looked towards Shea and nodded in gratitude.
”Well, then. Enough with this shit talk. I haven't had the taste of woman for some time now.” Ehit said as he looked down at them, ”You all don't seem that bad. Though I would prefer that black hair lady, Qingyue, with Fiercest, for now, you will work too.”
Hearing him everyone had a disgusting expression on their faces.
”Then why don't you try and get some,” Miledi said grinning as her energy started to rise and reached its peak. It was not equal to Ehit but also not far from it.
Others also readied themselves.
Ehit finally showed serious expression. 'What is this energy? I have never felt it and what's more, how the fuċk she became so strong!? I can't waste my time on them. Or when Fiercest came, I will be done'
The whole place went into silence as everyone held their breath. The area around the four was already emptied as the energy they were releasing was even pressuring the ground around them—seeing as how it was filled with cracks all over.
Shea took the first step and vanished. She appeared behind him and thrust her sword at him. Before her sword was about to touch him, its wait changed to 50 tons.
Ehit didn't look back but he could feel a threat from her. So he hurriedly teleported away. Appearing some miles away, looked towards their direction but before he could do anything, he felt a presence behind.
'How did she knew I would be here?!'
Tio was standing behind him. Among the girls, she was only one who had awakened of . It was more stable than Shea's . But it was Active while Shea's was Passive.
Making a fist, that turns red in color—making her fist look like magma—she throws it at him.
Ehit hurriedly throws his own fist, coated with .
Both of their fists colloid. A huge boom was heard as the surrounding space started to shake from the sheer power of the fists.
Both of them were thrown in opposite direction. Tio greets her teeth as she felt great shocks passing her body. If it was only physical strength, then she was definitely a winner. But Ehit had a huge mana supply that helps him overcome the difference of physical strength.
Ehit looked down at his hand, astonished. He could see his skin torn from different places. Even though the body was of Kouki, with the help of Ehit had already upgraded it. So he was surprised that she could damage his skin.
'She is dragonman for a reason. But what was that skill in the end?'
Suddenly he felt his weight increasing and reaching more than 10 tons and it was still increasing.
Looking back, he saw Miledi standing in the direction he was falling.
'Gravity magic?'
Before he could counter her, she felt a tremendous threat from his behind. Jerking his head in that direction, he saw Shizuku taking a stance of Iai with .
He didn't felt the threat from her but from the sword. He was sure if he was hit by that sword than he was done for. The only solution from which he could save himself was with the help of .
Shizuku takes a deep breath as her energy started to rise.
Ehit felt everything around him fasting at the same time slowing down. It was a strange feeling. But whatever it was, he knew if he let it continue then he was fuċkėd. Believing his instincts, he directs his hand in front of him and condenses the space to create a shield in front of him.
A crack-like sound was heard and he could see cracks forming in the space itself!
'What a horrifying technique!'
He teleported again and appeared back on the initial position.
”Really, what is with all these techniques and skills. Where did you all learn that?”
”From your doom!” Miledi said which made the expression of Ehit's face one that of anger.
”It seems that you don't need to leave anymore. Very well then, let me complete your wish!”
He vanished and appeared behind her with a long sword in his hands and slashes it at her. Miledi was about to dodge when she felt space around her restrict her. 'Space Lock!!'
”””Miledi (Miledi-san)!””” Shea, Tio, and Shizuku shouted at the same time. Tio wanted to teleport at their position but because of space lock, they could not.
And with the difference of miles between them, it would take at least 1 to 2 seconds to reach her.
'Dammit! I was too carefree!'
Just as the sword was about to slash her, five dragons of thunder descended from the heavens and struck Ehit.
Space lock dispersed and Miledi teleported away.
Ehit was flying backward, comes out of the smoke area where the dragons struck.
He heard an ephemeral voice from his behind. He saw as Qingyue stabs the sword at his shadow. He felt his body being bind by some unknown force.
Shea who learned and mastered saw an opening. She teleported in front of him and does a long vertical slash as she shouts.
A huge sword intent was released from her sword, distorting the space around it. Ehit leaving with no choice forcefully moved his sword hand in front of him.
A huge blast occurred as everyone distance themselves from him.
A huge scar of more than 2 miles was left on the ground, changing the terrain.
Soon the smoke was cleared and one could see Ehit standing with one of his hands missing and minor marks all over his body.
'This is not good! I need to leave! One-o-one I might win but with all of them attacking together I might die! Or this body might.'
He used restoration magic to heal his body and looks at everyone.
All the girls were circling him, standing at six points all around him. Above him, Orochi was flying, eyeing him,
'I need to make an opening!'
He looked towards Yue as an idea struck him. He sent his message to Alva as he started to buy time.
”Well, it isn't the Vampire Princess! I thought you died but it seems that you were sealed inside the labyrinth.”
Yue silently listens to him without answering back.
”What happened? Don't you want to know why your uncle and family betrayed you?” Ehit said but he still didn't get any reaction from her. He frowned. 'Why isn't she reacting? Does she not care about them anymore?'
As he was thinking, he heard her voice. ”What a pity man you are, Ehit. Wang Lei has already told me everything that happened three hundred years ago! So, don't even try to deceive me with a pathetic imposter act!”
Ehit hearing her had an ugly expression since he was thinking the exact same. Seeing has his tricks are not going to work he decided to use force.
He started to gather his energy to create some monsters to distract them but before he could create any he heard a voice from his behind.
”Do you think we will let you finish?” Tio said as a condense fire beam released from her hands.
Ehit hurriedly used to protect his body.
As the breath finishes, he before he could take a breath Shea attacked him.
Appearing above him, she swung her sword at him with 400 tons.
Ehit placed his sword above his and coated it with mana. Both swords colloid as the ground beneath Ehit destroyed. Ehit was pushed on his knees when Shea did a backflip in the air, taking her sword. But before he could take a break, Miledi attacks him.
A huge sphere of destructive energy formed and moved in his direction at tremendous velocity. He wanted to teleport but found out that he could not. 'Fuck! They locked the space!'
He hurriedly creates different space shields around him as the sphere of destructive energy hits him and a huge explosion happens, covering the area of 5 miles.
Girls teleported outside of the effective area. It was good that they were quite far from the Heiligh Kingdom because of their previous fight or it would have been destroyed.
Ehit inside the explosion was gnashing his teeth, ”Fuck! How the hell did they become this strong!”
Seeing as the blast was ending Yue gathers her energy and points her finger in his direction.
A condense fire sphere is created on the tip of her finger. It had a great amount of explosive energy saved in it. She directs it in his direction as another blast occurs. If the previous was pure destruction, then this one was a pure explosion with enough heat that even those in the Heiligh Kingdom could feel it.
Qingyue also gathered energy, she takes out her palm and a small white sphere was formed on it. No one could have thought that this small ball was a condensation of Chaos Energy. She releases it as another explosion occurs.
Poor Ehit, getting boomed from every direction.
Shizuku looking as Kouki's body was destroying gritted her teeth. She felt a hand on her shoulder. ”He is not the person you know once. His soul has already been destroyed. Don't let it distract you!” Tio said.
Shizuku hearing her grips the handle of and nodded.
As everything returns to normal, the area around 5 miles from where Ehit was standing was destroyed, completely. A huge hole was created in that place. In the center of it, one could see a male standing, bȧrėly alive. Most of his body was gone as he still stood on his remaining leg.
His body started to heal at a tremendous rate.
”Not anymore!” Qingyue said, appearing being him. Stabbing her sword on his shadow, she binds him.
Tio teleported with Shizuku, above him. Shizuku took a deep breath 'Sorry…'. She swung her sword, vertically downward.
Her sword shone golden as it directly hits him. Bisecting him in two as it hits the ground, destroying. A huge earthquake occurred, traveling a hundred kilometers.
Ehit who was bisected in two wanted to heal him but different red markings appear all over his body, destroying it from the inside. He used but found out that no matter how much mana he poured, his body won't stop from decaying.
'No other choice, I will leave this body!' He thought as he left Kouki's body and tried to run in his dimension but who knew that his fate was already sealed.
”Where do you think you are running?” he looked behind and saw rainbow-colored eyes and nothing else. A terror crawled as he felt nothing but death; when he looked into those eyes. They were telling him, ”Death is all I can see.”
Wang Lei swipes his finger on the 'Line of Death' he was seeing as it passes the Ehit body. He kept looking towards him with horror as his whole body or soul shattered.
