193 Truth 1 (2/2)

Behind Garen, Andrela and the King of Nightmares had respectively formed their auras. At the same time, Flamingo released his massive red peacock aura again.

With Sylphalan and Garen at the heart of it all, an invisible aura faced a white gold half humanoid. Further away from them were the four smaller, and varying colored, smaller auras.

At this moment, no matter how little Andrela and the King of Nightmares wanted to admit, or how little Flamingo and Griffith understood, everyone had to admit that in this arena, only Garen was capable of fighting Sylphalan.

Regardless of the outcome, the both of them were on the same level now. This was proven simply by the sheer scale and force of both their auras, this was made out of pure energy, not just mental strength.

At this point, everyone that wasn’t a high level martial arts practitioner such as the pedestrians and policemen around the area, were all starting to get knocked out by the sheer force of the auras enveloping the atmosphere.

Only those who stood further away from the actual battle could roughly make out what was going on in the expo hall.

While normal people couldn’t see the aura forms, they were still intimidated by the way the six of them stood facing each other. The tension alone was a clear enough indication of the impending dangers.

The passed out policemen and onlookers were good enough evidence that this was beyond their logical comprehension.

In the hall, the old man looked at Garen and the lot afar with a perplexed face.

”Fuck me, could this be….the legendary...subsonic boom attack?! This is too much! Where is the government? Where is our beloved government? In this key moment why isn’t my dear government coming out to save the world?!” he was starting to utter gibberish,”just a quick shiver, and everyone around us has fallen, is this also the mythical Tiger Body Shake? The air of a king?!”

”What is this so-called Tiger Body Shake?” Ophany asked innocently.

”Small children who don’t know anything shouldn’t ask stupid questions!” the old man felt light headed now,”No, no, no, I must stay calm,” he used all of his might to shut his eyes, and rubbed his temples in hopes of calming himself down.

Very rapidly, he led his small group of bodyguards and Ophany to hide in an even more obscure spot away from the epicenter of the battle. As the old man stared at Garen and the black cloaked man, he knew just how much danger they were all in; he was only joking in hopes of relieving the fears of the people around him.

The university student Ophany didn’t seem to be aware of how thick of a situation she was in,”Old Sir, I think we should try to sneak out of here!” she whispered.

”It’s no use, if we touch whatever’s covering this place, we will fall and die.” the old man said as he pointed to a seven or eight people who had fallen without a sound while trying to sneak out of the area.

Ophany felt a chill run down her spine.

At this time, the old lady and Julie’s group had all moved to a corner to rest. The two old man whose heads and bodies had been separated also had their parts moved to a corner by Julie.

Studying the monstrous energy facing each other in front of her, the old lady’s face started to lose colour.

”It’s him...Sylphalan...he has finally come. Julie, if you see an opportunity you must help Garen! Who knew that the seed planted by Gregor so many years ago would grow into such a powerful being today.” her gaze turned to Garen, while she was still hesitant, she couldn’t help but admire him,”what a pity. If Gregor was still alive today, he would be so proud and relieved to see how powerful this one has become.”

”Teacher…” Julie’s face was red,”if I go, what will become of you all?”

”Don’t bother with us! None of us know for sure what that madman will do. If they start fighting you must try to help Garen whenever he needs it. He’s the one whose skin just turned into white gold!” the old woman desperately explained.

Julie clenched her teeth, seeing how serious her teachers were about this, she forcibly nodded.

The powerful auras were still facing off each other, pushing against each other ever so slightly, stirring up a mental hurricane between the streets and the hall.

Garen raised his right arm with its palm facing upwards. He lightly clenched the air. Boom! A bubble of white air blew up in his hands.

”I’ve finally caught you…” his whole body was like it had been dyed, as it glowed in white gold color,”this time, I will avenge the Elder properly.”

Sylphalan was shocked to see their auras facing off each other as equals as he looked up at them,”I haven’t seen you in a while, and you’ve already grown to this level. I must say I do regret not killing you, but just a bit.”

”You sure you can kill me?” Garen scoffed. He swung his arms about casually, as he did so, the Divine Statue behind him too followed suit in his actions,”today, we will settle all our scores once and for all!”

Garen lifted up his right hand, aimed it at Sylphalan’s group and made for a grab.

Boom!!!

A circle of shapeless aura exploded on the spot where Sylphalan stood.

”Let’s go!”

The three villains jumped up in response, avoiding the explosion by flying in the opposite direction.

”Trying to run?” Garen reached his hand out again and aimed at the three of them, forcing them to disperse with another grab.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like grabbing insects out of the sky, the giant Divine Statue kept going after Sylphalan and his two followers’ shadows.

”Attack!” Andrela bellowed, and dashed out with the King of Nightmares.

A black cross sword flew towards Griffith.

At the same time, the King of Nightmares casually, and soundlessly appeared in front of Flamingo.

”This is not a good place to fight,” Flamingo commented coldly, as he looked up at the massive Divine Statue.

”I don’t think so,” the King of Nightmares swung his arm, releasing millions of paper shreds. The shreds were like snow, floating across the sky in a beautiful dance, causing Flamingo to go into a daze.

Both Andrela and Stephen each caught up with their opponents and flew away to fight them respectively.

Leaving behind only Garen to face Sylphalan alone.
