520 Maze Part 2 (2/2)

This man threw the chopped horns into nothingness angrily, then he put away the short blade and rubbed his hands, fixing his gaze into the distance.

”Because of this body, Myers didn't accept my religion. Without this body, how could I have lived for over ten-thousand years and achieved such a height? He let his thoughts run wild, as his red pupils were slightly dazed. Then the fish beasts encircling him began bellowing boisterously.

The roars of the fish beasts were shrill, reaching straight for the sky.

”Shut up!” The man was outraged. He was recalling memories of the Goddess of Myers and got interrupted by those beasts. With a kick full of rage, he sent a fish beast over twenty yards long flying into the air. This grade-8 fish beast burst into a pool of blood under his feet.

”I must not get furious, must not!” The man hollered, causing the muscles on his face to be contorted.

”After leaving this place, my powers have reduced drastically. I still have to depend on these fish beasts to get close to the temple. Damn it, this thing under my feet cannot be removed, it seems to have grown together with the earth.”

He stamped his feet, causing the water surface underneath his feet to sink for about half a foot, revealing a flat stone surface.

This surface was tiny, about thirty square yards only. The water level continued falling, gradually exposing the terrain. The rain attracted by the Divine spell had dispersed. The water in the pond quickly dried up as it seeped into the ground.

Beneath this person's feet was actually a towering stone pillar, and a huge portion of it was buried in the black sand. The ancient Myers language and divine language were carved atop this stone pillar. A metal chain was attached to this person's ankle, and this chain was stuck deep in the pillar, trapping him to the peak of this thirty square yards stone pillar.

The divine power held in this metal chain was uncontrollable, as it gave off a brilliant radiance. An endless stream of divine power diffused from the stone pillar into this man's body, raising his strength to the highest possible theoretical level.

This chain was a form of imprisonment, but it also provided him with massive strength. That was why he could produce the horrifying sandstorm, capturing so many creatures across the desert.

As this person stared at the metal chain, his eyes were filled with complexity. ”Myers, Myers, I don't need a religion anymore!”

At this point in his thoughts, he grabbed onto the metal chain furiously, pulling with all his might. Even the ground trembled, giving off a thunderous noise. Other than the fish beasts at the core of this pillar, those fish beasts which had not matured were all knocked unconscious.

”Break!” This man tugged at the metal chain around his ankle desperately. No matter what, this metal chain showed no signs of loosening.

”Is this the power of the earth? Humph, since I want to leave, don't try to stop me.” The man grabbed the short blade out of thin air once again. This time around, he hacked at his own foot.

The clanging of metal filled the air. The razor sharp short blade only amputated half of his foot, but no blood gushed out. Tolerating the excruciating pain, he slashed again. This time, the foot bone had broken, his foot was only dangling from a bit of flesh.

”Don't, don't try to trap me, I don't need it anymore!” Going berserk, he hacked a third time. His right foot finally broke away. The metal chain whined as it lost the divine light, it wilted on the ground like a dying snake.

This man stared at his foot on the ground, he clenched his teeth but did not pick it up. Instead, he nonchalantly cast a Divine skill, and at the severed area of his leg, a new foot grew out rapidly. He looked at the new foot in dissatisfaction. The new limb would surely be weaker than the original one, yet it did not have much of an impact on his offensive power.

Lowering his head, he told the lifeless metal chain, ”I am leaving, you shall wait here for the goddess' return. Heh, if I become a god one day, I might consider coming back to visit you.” When he said this sentence, the confusion in his eyes had disappeared, and in its place was a tinge of evil.

”I, Bedagolasi, will become the new God of Nature as long as the divine trees are still around. By then, you will be mine.” After venting his anger on the metal chain, he summoned the fish beasts and commanded them to move. A divine light emanated from his body, but it had a dark green hue. In the blink of an eye, he had already left the bulky stone pillar.

The moment he left, that stone pillar suddenly broke down, turning into a pile of dust and dispersing with the wind.

From the depths of the earth, came an enraged roar. It was as though an ancient giant had awoken and realized that his most precious item had been stolen.
