Chapter 502: Pushing Ice Celestial Corey to Death (2/2)
Han Shuo, mentally throwing curses at the pedantic Kelly, wouldn’t be so concerned about whether or not his actions would harm the innocent civilians. Besides, those “innocents” weren’t people of his Brettel City, which was less of a reason to care so much. Before he even drew near to Ice Celestial Corey, Han Shuo had already flung out a Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts.
Ice Celestial Corey immediately knew things were bad when he heard Han Shuo’s voice. He knew that Han Shuo was an entirely different kind from Kelly. Therefore, the moment Han Shuo’s voice entered his ears, he no longer dared to hide among the crowds, and flew out with a great leap.
Under Han Shuo’s manipulation, the Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts followed Ice Celestial Corey in close pursuit. If it hadn’t been for Corey’s emergence instantly, he and the merchants around him would’ve all died in that attack.
“I knew it, this deicide!” Ice Celestial Corey was faced with a great headache. Han Shuo, a man of few scruples, was clearly much harder to deal with compared to Kelly. Ice Celestial Corey was injured to begin with. Having received further injuries from Han Shuo’s assault just before, and without Tiana around to assist him, Corey was sure to lose when put against either Han Shuo or Kelly alone. Now with both of them teaming up against him, he stood even less of a chance.
“Clang!” As he escaped, Ice Celestial Corey had no choice but to make a defensive sword strike. A swarm of icicles rained down from the sky, and Han Shuo’s Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts was broken with one strike from Ice Celestial Corey.
Han Shuo made a slight gasp of surprise as he continued in close pursuit, feeling rather puzzled.
As it turned out, when Ice Celestial Corey intercepted Han Shuo’s Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts, he had deliberately expended a little more energy to obliterate Han Shuo’s intense attacking power to avoid injuring the merchants and peddlers below.
Connecting that action to Corey’s sudden flight from within the crowds, Han Shuo suddenly realised that Ice Celestial Corey was not without redeeming qualities. Although he was cold and ruthless in how he handled his enemies and the race of dark dragon, he was still very protecting of his own countrymen. He was not, as Han Shuo had thought, without a care for the people of Kasi Empire.
When Kelly had been chasing him earlier, his concealment amongst the civilians was done because he had a good grasp of Kelly’s mindset, and knew that Kelly would never harm the commoners. Hence, he overtly made use of Kelly’s weakness to help himself escape unruffled.
So you do have a bit of humanity after all, Han Shuo thought derisively, but he did not slow down. By this time, Ice Celestial Corey was already quite close. He recited an incantation, and rows of bone spears came whooshing towards Ice Celestial Corey.
Having been delayed by the Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts, Ice Celestial Corey was already well within Han Shuo’s range of attack. During that window of opportunity, Kelly in his gigantic ape-form finally caught up with Han Shuo after very carefully avoiding trampling any of the civilians underfoot.
“Don’t allow him any time to do anything!” Han Shuo bellowed immediately after sending out the bone spears.
Most people of demigod strength were sure to have some ways to save their own necks, a space-tearing scroll at the very least. That was something Han Shuo learned from his valuable experience after many years of battle.
Thus, the moment he saw that his side held an overwhelming superiority, Han Shuo was certain that Ice Celestial Corey was about to take some desperate measures. At this stage, there would be no letting Corey escape, or all his efforts would have been for naught.
Hence, Han Shuo immediately shouted a reminder to Kelly, otherwise Kelly would never have thought of it. The Druidic Order was, after all, not one that preached ruthless extermination. As the leader of the Druidic Order, Kelly did not have that ruthlessness and mercilessness that Han Shuo did.
But with Han Shuo’s yelling, Kelly instantly came to his senses. Suddenly, memories replayed in his mind. He recalled scenes of followers of the Druidic Order being brutally murdered by the Shrine of Ice in Kasi Empire many years back. Calling to mind how heartless and cruel Corey had treated his enemies, Kelly knew that his Druidic Order would certainly pay an enormous price if Corey did not die that day.
Kelly took a huge stride. “ROAR…” He had blocked off Corey’s only path of escape. Han Shuo did not know what Kelly had actually done, for along with his sky-shaking howl, layer upon layer of ripples visibly undulated in the sky. All the elements between heaven and earth turned into a state of disorder, the sky seemed like it had collapsed.
Ice Celestial Corey felt the changes in the sky after Kelly’s howl, and instantly understood that his space scroll would be useless. Seeing Kelly block off the path behind him, and Han Shuo recklessly charging at him from the front, his face turned ashen. Corey knew that he at last had reached the end of his life.
Suddenly, Kelly turned pale with fright and shouted in alarm, “Oh no!”
Han Shuo, who had already rushed in front of Corey, heard the yell and saw the huge Kelly swiftly retreating back. He instinctively understood something and slammed on the brakes, coming to a sudden stop.
A brilliant light, mixed with terrible energy, erupted from Ice Celestial Corey, bringing about the fluctuation of an annihilative energy wave of a ten-meter radius. A fracture in spacetime left a pattern like the grooves on a tortoise shell. As Ice Celestial Corey met his destruction, everything within that space was sucked vacuum in an instant.
Under the deadly, relentless hounding of Han Shuo and Kelly, Ice Celestial Corey was forced to end his own life!
