481 Thou Shall Bow (2/2)
In an instant, the enchantment the griffin stole was completely defeated!
Next, the aether density rose. The laws and temperament had already been distorted by the two. Now, they broke apart. This area had become something far more chaotic than a black zone. Countless music theories were born and destroyed, turning it into an absolute zone.
”Take him down!” Wagner's order rang in the ears of all musicians in the bell towers. Before he finished, countless musicians flew to the sky.
Seeming to use specialized music scores, the one at the front had turned most of his body into a thunderbolt. He galloped in the air and paced, pouncing in an instant.
”Don't come in!” Ye Qingxuan turned in shock and yelled. ”This is—”
Too late.
Ye Qingxuan's words were swallowed by the chaotic environment. Then, dozens of figures dropped from the sky, pouncing toward Ye Qingxuan and the griffin.
Idiots.
Ye Qingxuan looked away, not bearing to look.
”This is a trap…” Before he finished, pained cries sounded. Around Ye Qingxuan, the grandmasters who whistled past shook and screamed. The air turned into sulfur. Sizzling, it poured into their lungs and attacked them from the inside. Abnormal music theory grew inside them, destroying the equilibrium. In an instant, their flesh was eaten away and skeletons dropped from the sky.
Clenching his jaw, Ye Qingxuan looked at the ground. The griffin had never planned on taking the enchantment. There was no point in a tug-of-war over the control. He had just wanted to distract the saints and completely destroy the enchantment! Now, it had collapsed. The moment everything fell into frenzy, the territory of Passion swelled. It took over the collapsing music theory, regrouping them in the chaotic territory. Now, this was his world! Even the gravitational pull lost effect in this world. Countless broken things floated in the air, blown by the gales of wind. Stones ignited eerily.
Two grandmasters charging toward the griffin died instantly.
A counterblade had slid out of the griffin's sleeve at some point. He swiped it with a finger and a string of command notes lit up. In the sudden whistle, the blade left his hand. It slashed through several layers of shields.
The first musician stopped abruptly. A hole opened up in his chest. He stared at the griffin's cold eyes in shock. His mouth opened to speak but his body swelled up like a ball. The music theory inside him had been ignited by the music theory and overloaded.
He exploded!
Before the others could react, a black shadow attacked!
The first to be snapped in half was a semi-elementalized grandmaster. During the exchange, the music theory encroached with nature disturbance. The thunderbolt was turned into a rock. The power turned from Abstinence into Modifications and shot out, turning him into a steel rock.
It shattered and fell to the ground.
The griffin sped up and pounced toward someone else. No one expected the griffin could be so aggressive and violent in the air. No, he probably chose this mask because he specialized in aerial fighting.
”Don't fight closely!” A musician quickly reacted. Ferocity flashed past his eyes. ”Pull out!” But before he could finish, the griffin was before him.
The old grandmaster huffed. His body dissipated into fog and he pounced in return. In the venomous blood fog, his remaining body flew backward without hesitation. It was like a gecko breaking off its tail. But before a satisfied expression could emerge on his face, it froze. Ignoring the terrifying corrosiveness and poisonous of the blood fog, the griffin broke through. He clamped a hand on the musician's head and clenched. Five steel fingers scraped. Flesh dripped out from between the fingers.
Above his head and outside the chaotic territory, three expressionless musicians from the School of Destruction huddled together. They went into coherence and sang in unison. A black seed fell from their held hands silently.
It was the Hole of Destruction!
This was the trademark score of the School of Modifications. It was a black hole that could destroy everything! The seed fell from the sky. It swelled with each inch it descended. After a few seconds, it had become a black vortex meters in diameter.
In the erratically changing world, only the vortex was pure black. In its path, everything was destroyed as it forcefully opened up a tunnel. It pressed down on the griffin!
The six late grandmasters regrouped with the survivors. Without thinking, they went into coherence and surrounded the griffin. The leading musician activated nature disturbance and entered the 'vacuum.' He displayed an unimaginable attainment in the School of Abstinence.
In a blink, an invisible prison crisscrossed in the air. This was the way of discipline from Abstinence!
Music theory from all directions sealed off the griffin's escape routes, imprisoning him in place. Then the black Hole of Destruction fell from the sky.
The griffin seemed to sigh and raised his head. In that instant, there was a shrill sound.
Wild wind blew from all directions. The sudden burst of aether pierced everyone's sense. In the 'blindness,' Ye Qingxuan could only see the sun-like black hole shake violently. Meters wide, it shook and fell apart as if dissolving.
The wild tide of aether crashed forward, upending everyone. The discipline musician locking the griffin looked aghast.
The next moment, the purple-eyed griffin's eerie face appeared before his eyes. The counterblade moved and in an instant, a head fell from the shoulders. Blood dyed the burnt griffin mask. The purple eyes under the black and red seemed so menacing.
The griffin reached out. There was a deep echo in the absolute domain. Indescribably pressure crushed all the converged aether and robbed all enemies of the ability to fight back.
Without hesitation, without sympathy, the bloody counterblade was lifted and brought down!
There was a chilling wail.
”Activation keyword: 7984611.”
He seemed to have finally made up his mind. He was tired of the endless waiting and unrealistic dreams. In this absolute domain, a hoarse voice rang out.
He said, ”Foreword—thou shall bow and fear God!”
There was a crisp crack.
The griffin suddenly stopped. The bloody counterblade stopped before a musician. The musician paled and stared at the blade before him, unsure if he would survive.
In the silence, something like a sigh came from the purple-eyed griffin's mask. It was like sadness.
For the first time, he had human emotions.
But in the air, Ye Qingxuan stared at his arm, eyes filling with disappointment and sadness.
”It really is you, Professor.”
