243 The Sages power I (1/2)

Tomas' expression was awful and an immense sense of failure assaulted him. He was a member of the Heavenly race with an Emperor Bloodline and a law comprehension at the 'Initial' level.

Despite that, he was defeated in a single movement. The worst part was that what he faced was not really the Sage but merely an incarnation formed by a part of his consciousness and energy.

His condition was much better than Oliver, who had already fallen into unconsciousness but still, there was nothing he could do to free himself. Tomas felt his instincts scream with more power than ever before in his life when he saw how the liquid that resembled boiling asphalt moved from Sage's mouth into his hands.

The heart of the Angelic Paragon started to beat faster and faster with terror, as the asphalt approached his eyes.

”Don't worry after this all your fear and pain will disappear. There will only be peace and bliss. If you prove yourself worthy, then I don't mind making you eternal.” The ancient voice of the Sage carried a temptation so immense that those with a weak will would have fallen to their knees and beg for the chance to serve him.

Right when the asphalt was about to enter into the Angelic Paragons, an immense pressure assaulted the Sage. The grey humanoid trembled and its power was reduced for an instant.

It was the World Consciousness. Although the Sage was able to hide from it when he originally appeared in this world, now that he used his powers things were different.

Tomas regained control of his True Soul and energy for a fraction of a second. The danger of the situation made the Angelic Paragon act with resolution.

”Law Avatar: One with the Law!”

Trigrams that surrounded a yin yang symbol appeared behind the Angelic Paragon and in the next instant, they fused with his body.

His body became white and black and his power increased exponentially. His eyes were filled with killing intent and he attacked without mercy. His black wings slashed toward the head of the Sage with monstrous speed and strength.

The Sage was able to gain control over his body in a fraction of a second. He disintegrated into streams of gray aura and appeared far away from the two Angelic Paragons.

He did not come out unscathed from Tomas' attack. There was a deep cut on the grey humanoid chest but the Sage acted like it was nothing and once again waved his hand and hid his presence of the World Consciousness.

This time however the World Consciousness did not disappear and persisted in the area. It detected the Angelic Paragon increase in power but the threat of the Sage was more significant.

With a movement of his wings, Tomas was fired to the grey humanoid. His energy burned and his six wings attempted to cut the Sage's body.

”Die!” The Angelic Paragon launched that attack with all the rage that was present in his heart.

The wings attacked from every direction but there was no fear in the Sage. In an instant, boiling asphalt covered the grey humanoid.

He was able to dodge four wings and used his body to respond to the other two. His body was pushed thousands of meters away, and cuts appeared on his arms. The counterattack revealed his presence to the World Consciousness and although he was able to hide again in an instant, it was not before a bolt of black lightning crashed in him

Tomas was surprised by the little damage his attack produced and it shocked him to realize that the parts of his wings that were touched by the asphalt were now mutated. Tumors with teeth, eyes, and mouths appeared on them.

The Angelic Paragon was able to purge them thanks to his powerful laws, bloodline, and the fact his body was fused with his Law Avatar.

'What was that?' Horror appeared on Tomas' heart when he saw the effect of the asphalt. If it had entered into his body, then death would have been a mercy.

But this fear did not diminish his killing intent. Now that the Sage was harmed by the World Consciousness was the best moment to attack.

He appeared close to the grey humanoid again but instead of a melee attack, he released beams of sword energy.
