Chapter 109 - Freedom (1/2)
[Some hours ago]
Jean was keeping fighting with the statue.
If it wasn't for his corpses vanishing after death, he could fill the entire Blue Pole Star with them…
He fought for 5 entire months against that thing.
Wielding its scythe with such fluid movements that confused even Jean, the statue killed him countless times, and everytime it was with a decapitation.
The only thing that could cause even a small bit of damage is Paverschlev combined with the Destroying Sky Decimating Earth, the strongest attack he can muster, and all it could do was scratching the statue…
He passed an entire year to fight for his freedom, he evolved to resist the incoming attacks, he even ”Inverted” so he can gain additional power from his broadsword…
Just to end here?
Why couldn't he do it?! What did he miss?!
What did that glitched entity want from him?! Was everything a test? Then make it possible to pass it!
After he was hit on his sides with the blunt side of the scythe, his mangled body flew towards his throne, who didn't move an inch…
His gaze went down, and saw blood flowing out from his mouth, making a small puddle on his clothes… Well… He will be lucky the next time…
...Wait a second.
He almost forgot about it… He ignored it because it could cause either death or a decrease on his powers. It would be extremely dangerous doing that before, because there were more waves of statues to clash against.
But this was the last one, if he would be able to pass, then he can use the schrift Sigma to create again the Blood Essence that he lost before…
Well, now or never…
Jean's blood started to carry a certain glint, and Jean waited for the increase of strength that would come by burning his Blood Essence…
”What are you doing, Jean?!”
Ah, the voice on his mind… He ignored it since it just kept asking for him to come back, to where? He didn't know, he didn't know where the feminine voice came from but it was annoying…
However, the increase of his powers never came, so Jean opened his eyes and saw the statue in front of him, with his scythe raised up…
*Clang!*
But when the scythe came down, it clashed against something.
The sensation it gave was familiar, he was wearing his throne…
Unconsciously, a word came out from his mouth…
”Spirit Armor: Ratelibish…”
Ratelibish, the name of his new armor. The armor activated with Blood Essence…
”Emperor of Annihilation: Shekinah…”
Shekinah, the sword forged from his own Blood Essence mixed with the remaining fragments of his throne and fused with Nehemah.
Jean was surprised at their appearance… He made another evolution.
Inside the Sky Poison Pearl, Jasmine was also shocked about the sudden turn of events. Albeit thanks to burning his Blood Essence, his power was slightly lesser than it should be, his current power is on par with that of the statue wielding the scythe, 7th Sovereign Profound Realm.
Jean looked down on the scythe, even if it scratched his armor, it didn't reach his skin. With a maniacal grin, Jean raised Shekinah and used the Sky Wolf Slash on the statue, leaving a big gash on the statue.
”YES!!”
Excited like never before, Jean dashed at the statue. His sword and its scythe clashed countless times in the span of a minute, the force of their attacks caused the ground to tremble and the air to shake.
Suddenly, Jean's arm flew away…
...But it was an appropriated price to pay for his victory…
*CRACK!!*
