Chapter 594: Godly Guilotine (1/2)
”Seeing what you are trying to produce, I don't think you will be able to reclaim what you want if you use it.”
Suddenly stepping forward, Gerwazy crossed his arms at his chest, sending a piercing look directly into my eyes. If not for the slight vibration of his eyebrows, his slightly smug smile would have a chance to convince me that he was actually as calm and composed as he wanted to appear to.
”To be frank, I don't really care about that blood. Those who are using it, are doomed to be bound by the restraints that this world applies to them. It's far easier to grow stronger if you do not relly on it in the long term. That's why I don't really care about that blood itself. But how it was stolen? From who it was stolen? The answer to those two questions is what makes me act.”
With how this enemy of mine was clearly worried about my ability to potentially kill him, I decided to use this chance. The times where I would indiscriminately kill others just because they offended me, were now gone. With Eve on my side, kept safe by the protection of Bonger, I preferred to not sully my hands with even more blood. Especially, if I didn't really care about the person at fault.
That's why, rather than forcing him to make the hard decision of giving up on something that was most likely the most sought for the element in the entire world of immortal's, I had to offer him a chance. A chance to see that there is another way besides what his system was most likely pushing that man to do!
”You all sound smart and mighty, yet I have yet to see a single proof that your words are anything but bullshit. So, how about you fire that thing that you are openly preparing so that we can see whether your words do hold any weight behind them?”
Most likely unwilling to just give up on something that he believed in for as long as he had the system, the man came up with a proposition. It was a pity that this offer of his had an insanely important flaw.
”So you want me to fire a spell capable of splitting the land from here, all the way to the sea and then some, just because you do not believe I'm capable of doing so? Do you really thinking that I'm stupid?”
With the rune above my head only growing in size and with its colour turning even more intense, I made sure that Gerwazy did realise that my patience was quickly running out.
”Stupid? What do you mean by that? I didn't mean that…”
”Do you really think that I'm stupid enough to fire my spell without hitting you and your lackey with it while hoping that you wouldn't use this window of opportunity to attack me? As brief as it is, just like you don't know the full extent of my capabilities, I do not know what you can do. Whether you can facilitate that short opening or not, is something that I cannot prove now, meaning, I can't take any risks.”
Not even letting Gerwazy to finish his sentence, I explained what the situation was. In fact, I could feel that with the amount of energy that my sunflare already consumed, given how condensed it was thanks to Bonger's improvement to statistics of me, its host, it was slowly slipping away from my grasp. The moment I would reach the absolute edge of losing control over it, I wouldn't be able to decompose it back into the clean energy. Unless the situation would be resolved soon, my hand would be forced to act!
