Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Imminent death
Ved recognised that attack, it was the invisible pulse balls of the hippo but that one was much more powerful.
The envoy roared so loud the skies shook, the mist was pushed away and all of them appeared.
The hippo had activated it haki, seeing this the others followed suit, each activating their own haki, powerful auras blanketed the battlefield one after another but it did not react to this.
It attention was fully on him, he could feel it killing intent and he knew things were not looking good.
Like the others he too activated his haki, the black sharp haki covered his entire body like armour.
Then it moved, even with his haki on he was barely able to see it movements, all he saw was a blur and the next thing he knew he was sailing through the air with blood flowing out of his mouth and nose.
He crashed through the ground and rolled for hundreds of metres. He felt a throbbing pain on his side and when he looked he saw cracks on his scales.
This created a uncontrollable wave of fear inside him, his body shook and even his aura became unstable.
Then a feeling of impending doom followed, his body moved on it own. He used his flash at it maximum capacity, his body became a streak of light and he found himself a kilometre away in a split second.
It turned it attention towards him again but fortunately he was not fighting along. Space bent around it and the next moment it leg was broken.
Old man Goldi coughed blood, that technique must’ve taken a toll on him which made sense considering how powerful it was.
It attention shifted from him to old man Goldi but before it could attack multiple attacks were thrown at it at once, giant boulders descended from the sky.
Moving so fast they caught on fire, a giant wave as high as a hundred metres came crashing towards it, an enlarged golden staff swept from the side creating giant gusts of wind.
Vines and roots grew from the ground and flew at it like giant snakes. Powerful as it was it couldn’t take all of these attacks head-on and come out unscathed.
It stopped paying attention to the old man, it clasped it hands together like a prayer, white mist came out it body and took dozens of different shapes.
Some looked like giant versions of it hands, some looked like snakes with horns and razor sharp teeth. Others were giant humanoid creatures.
Then the mist creatures turned into skeletons and went to block the attack. Giant hands blocked the staff, the giant humanoid skeletons crashed into the wave.
Every single attack was successfully blocked but the skeletal figures were shattered as well. Then it created even more of them.
Now each of them were forced to face multiple skeletal enemies. Ved himself had to fight a giant skeleton snake and giant 50 metres tall humanoid skeleton.
Each of their attacks shattered the ground but they were not very fast. The snake opened it mouth wide and tried to swallow him whole.
He dodged to the side and it crashed on the ground behind him sending rocks flying everywhere like bullets, before it could react he grabbed it tail with a single hand and swung it.
It body crashed against the humanoid skeleton and they both shattered into thousands of fragments but then the bones moved towards each other and they became whole again.
He sighed, he was getting frustrated, this has happened dozens of times already, everytime he destroyed them they just came back, he even tried poison and it still not work work.
He tried tying them up with his web but high in the sky above him was a small bone bird and everytime he used his web it would swoop down and free them.
And the bird was fast, while it lacked offensive power it was incredibly fast. He jumped back to dodge being crushed by the skeletons giant hand.
Then used his strings to cut it until thousands of pieces then using the strings he threw the pieces far away from each other.
It would take time for them to gather back together and at that time he could deal with the snake.
However this was obviously unsustainable, he will need to find a way to permanently take them down, he had tried using will and he was able to temporarily put them down.
But a much stronger will than his brought them back. The only way to effectively deal with them he could think of is by killing the envoy itself.
But that was easier said than done considering it was just standing with it eyes closed, probably focused on controlling these things but it gave him an overwhelming sense of danger.
However he knew if it didn’t die then he would because it will definitely kill everything here. He looked up at the gigantic ball of pure darkness in the sky, it was still gathering, growing.
Whatever the crows were preparing was going to be big and he was desperately praying for them to finish it quickly because everybody was running on fumes now.
It wouldn’t be long before they couldn’t hold on. He slapped the snake with his claw and shattered it skull then turned his attention to the envoy.
He was going to use this chance to attack it while it was focused on controlling the bone creatures.
He moved, his body blurred and he appeared above it. He activated herculean strength and his arm muscles swelled and he attacked.
The air exploded and ignited, the temperature rose to absurd levels and just as his claws were about to reach it they met an invisible barrier.
His claw was blocked and the rebound sent him flying for hundreds of metres, blood spurted out of his arm as his veins busted, he had given it all in that attack.
Even his head was throbbing from the excessive use of his will. While flying through the air it turned it head towards him and opened it eyes, their eyes met.
An overwhelming feeling of death came crashing down on him, his body and soul screamed at him that his death was imminent.
He felt a wave of heart pounding fear rise inside him followed by a throbbing pain in his soul, an illusory image was about to materialize on it own as his soul subconsciously reacted to the threat.
Then a loud bird screech reverberated across the sky, the earth shook and the feeling of imminent death disappeared like smoke. Then a black beam of light flew above him and BOOOOOOM.
