Chapter 555
Dragon speech was a unique power of the dragon clan that could manipulate the composition of the phenomenal world using karma by imbuing will into commands.
Zeke infused his will into the dragon language, consuming karma points to enhance its power.
His calculated move seemed to work as strange reactions occurred in Harvey West's body.
TSTSTSTS!
Cracks began to form in the bindings that firmly held the soul of the Arrogant Savior.
Suddenly, heat haze started leaking from Harvey West's body.
"AAAAARGH!"
Due to Leviathan's chaos energy, Harvey West was unable to use the power of the Arrogant Savior.
Moreover, when the chaos energy was used as an area effect until now, Zeke was also affected.
But now that it was overlaid on the sword and limited to only the target of the attack, the technique's effectiveness had doubled.
Finally, the soul form of the Arrogant Savior slowly emerged from Harvey West's body.
Seeing this, Zeke raised his shadow.
The shadow opened like a monster's mouth and approached to devour the Arrogant Savior's soul that had emerged from Harvey West's body.
Harvey West barely managed to stretch out his hand and unleash the power of the Outer Beings.
CHWARARARAK!
Tentacles shot out from his hand, blocking the approaching shadow from accessing the Arrogant Savior's soul.
Simultaneously, tentacles burst from Harvey West's back.
The tentacles with sharp teeth rushed to attack Zeke who held Leviathan.
At that moment, Raven emerged from the dimensional gap on Zeke's shoulder.
WOOOOOOO!
Raven unleashed the Phoenix Force toward the rushing tentacles.
The waves of Phoenix Force spread in all directions, making the Outer Beings tentacles hesitate before losing strength and retreating.
Zeke further released Leviathan's power stuck in Harvey West's back, injecting more chaos energy into his body.
"KUUUUUGH!"
Unable to use the power of recreation, Harvey West could not heal his body.
Feeling the crisis, he shouted at Zeke.
"Zeke Draker! Have you chosen to live like a puppet?!"
Zeke looked at Harvey West and said.
"I have no intention of living as anyone's puppet. I only move forward by my own will."
Meanwhile, the Arrogant Savior's soul escaped from Harvey West's body.
The Arrogant Savior's soul emitted a lustrous light that was hard to believe was a demon's soul.
Harvey West's tentacles, which had barely blocked Zeke's shadow, could no longer hold on.
TSTSTSTS!
Zeke's shadow, which had burrowed inside, gradually began consuming the Arrogant Savior's soul.
Seeing this, Harvey West screamed.
"Zeke Draker! I know who your real father is! If you stop right now, I'll tell you your true identity!"
But Zeke paid no attention to Harvey West's words and continued injecting chaos energy.
WOOOONG!
Harvey West realized his scheme had no effect on Zeke and finally felt fear.
'So this is why he was chosen by the Elder Dragon and the Great Sage.'
An unwavering firm will.
This was Zeke's strongest power.
Zeke's shadow gradually consumed the seal containing the Arrogant Savior's soul.
Harvey West feared that he too might get swept into Zeke's shadow.
'Damn it...'
He had no choice but to make a final decision.
Harvey West took out a dagger from his chest.
It was a dagger engraved with a grotesque deity that looked like an Outer Beings.
Harvey West swung the dagger to cut the binding shackles between himself and the Arrogant Savior's seal.
PAAAAH!
Powerful light spread out as the Arrogant Savior's seal and Harvey West separated.
"KUUGH!"
Being a Nephilim, Harvey West also took heavy damage from breaking the soul bond.
But thanks to this, he could reduce the burden of the chaos energy injected into his body.
Most of the chaos energy naturally shifted to controlling the Arrogant Savior's seal.
In that gap, Harvey West raised the power of the Outer Beings to decompose his body pierced by Leviathan and slipped away to the side.
TSTSTSTS!
The Arrogant Savior's seal, separated from Harvey West's body, was completely consumed into Zeke's shadow.
After absorbing the seal, Zeke immediately tried to strike with his sword to annihilate Harvey West.
But at that moment, a huge light flashed outside the window.
KUGUGUGUGUGU!
Soon after, a spear of light fired from the tower blew away the entire building.
Moments later, Zeke wearing Hersion appeared with Raven at the location where the building had disappeared.
'Where did Harvey West go?'
Harvey West realized Zeke had tricked him and removed the barrier on the building to bait an angel's attack.
At that moment, Harvey West was seen quickly escaping toward the alley behind them.
"Harvey West!"
When Zeke tried to chase Harvey West with his shadow, unlike usual, the shadow wouldn't move as he willed.
A message appeared before his eyes.
[Currently absorbing the Arrogant Savior's seal.]
[Due to the high divinity of the sealed soul, absorption takes time.]
[Cannot use Shadow Armor until absorption is complete.]
'Damn...'
In the brief moment Zeke missed, Harvey West had already disappeared.
As he tried to turn toward where Harvey West fled, another spear of light flew toward him.
PAJIJIIJK!
Though it was an unexpected attack, fortunately Hersion's plasma barrier activated and blocked the light spear.
Looking toward where the spear came from, the angel that was floating in the sky had descended toward the tower and was looking down at Zeke.
'Am I the target now?.'
Since Harvey West was also trapped in the angel's space, he was like a mouse in a trap no matter where he fled in the city.
Zeke decided to subdue the angel first before capturing Harvey West.
KUGUGUGUGU!
Then, a familiar power began rippling from the tower that had been firing light spears.
PAJIJIIJK!
Heaven's Thunder, one of Princess Arina's ultimate light magic techniques, spread in all directions.
The entire city sky was covered in light lightning.
As if that wasn't the end, when the Snake Palace's angel raised its hand upward, the light lightning gathered and transformed into a spear made of thunderbolts.
The angel gripped the thunderbolt spear and looked at Zeke.
GOOOOO!
With a roar that shook everything around, the angel immediately threw the lightning spear toward where Zeke was.
PISHUSHUSHUSHUK!
The lightning spear made of light plunged down from sky to ground.
Zeke held his breath for a moment at the pressure of power flying toward him.
But soon his eyes flashed and he raised his sword Leviathan, drawing out the power of the Mind Sword.
WOOOONG!
The martial energy that arose instantly filled Zeke's surroundings.
As Domain Control spread, Zeke could see the essence of the spear flying toward him.
Zeke swung his sword toward the spear's essence.
Infinite Sword Technique Secret Form
Black Sword Technique
Black Dragon Water Strike
A black dragon materialized from Zeke's sword and collided with the lightning spear.
KUGUGUGUGU!
The black dragon opened its mouth and bit into the lightning, charging toward its core.
KWAKWAKWAKWA!
The shockwave from the collision between the black dragon and lightning spear spread outward, sweeping through the city.
Buildings collapsed and the ground split.
Meanwhile, the black dragon wrapped around the lightning spear finally devoured its core and broke its power.
The black dragon didn't stop there but stretched up toward the sky and roared at the angel who had thrown the lightning spear.
KAAAAAA!
The angel showed no particular movement even seeing the black dragon flying toward it.
The black dragon was about to collide with the angel.
KWAKWAKWAKWA!
A transparent barrier formed around the angel's body and blocked the charging black dragon.
KUGUGUGUGU!
The angel, statue-like, stared blankly at the black dragon trying to break through its barrier.
Then it slowly raised its hand.
WOOOONG!
Light power gathered in the angel's hand, and soon a spear that looked like it was made of white marble appeared.
From inside the barrier, the angel thrust the spear straight at the black dragon that had its mouth wide open.
KWAKWAKWAKWA!
The angel's spear that broke through the barrier pierced through the black dragon's mouth.
KAAAAAK!
The black dragon pierced by the angel's spear made one last struggle and exploded all its energy.
Black currents shot out in all directions from its body.
PAJIJIIJK!
The lightning core that the black dragon had swallowed earlier spread out, now dyed black.
That black lightning power began to flow backward, wrapping around the light lightning covering the sky.
PAJIJIIJK!
The black lightning burrowed into the tower that had created the light lightning.
This caused abnormal signs in the towers that had been spewing light lightning.
PAJIJIIJK!
The light lightning spread like a net gradually became offset.
Though the black dragon's energy that had charged at the angel was scattered as black lightning by the spear it thrust, at the same time the tower also lost its function.
PAJIJIIJK!
The black current spread in all directions, disturbing the angel's senses.
The angel tried to find a way to deal with this abnormal phenomenon it had never experienced in previous descents.
But that's when it happened.
KUGUGUGUGU!
Zeke appeared through the black lightning and swung Leviathan, imbued with chaos energy, at the angel.
CHWAAAAK!
That sword strike instantly tore through the barrier protecting the angel's body.
The absolute barrier protecting the angel, essentially an avatar of a constellation, had never been damaged by any phenomenal being before.
However, the chaos energy that could neutralize constellation power tore through the barrier like paper.
Zeke pushed the power of flame ignition into the torn barrier.
HWARLRLRLRUK!
The power of flame ignition, which never extinguishes until burning its target completely, set the angel's body on fire.
Despite its body burning, the angel calmly turned its head toward Zeke.
A message appeared before Zeke's eyes.
[Through Guardian 13, the Master of the Snake Palace watches the Immortal.]
[The Master of the Snake Palace expresses displeasure at the Immortal's insolence.]
[Promises soul binding and eternal torment to the Immortal.]
The Master of the Snake Palace, one of the Thirteen Palace Constellations.
A celestial constellation, not a fallen one, had intervened in the phenomenal world to send a direct warning to Zeke.
But Zeke ignored the message and raised Leviathan.
'Talking about soul binding and eternal torment.'
Unlike before, Zeke was not one to feel fear just because a celestial constellation gave a direct warning.
He swung his sword imbued with chaos energy toward the burning angel.
Dragon Slaying Technique Special form
Chaos Technique
God Slaying Strike
A technique for killing constellations.
Zeke unleashed the Dragon Slaying Technique containing chaos energy toward the angel.
KWAKWAKWAKWA!
Such a barrier could never block the power of chaos.
The angel urgently retreated, then folded its wings to wrap around itself to block Zeke's attack.
KWAKWAKWAKWA!
Two pairs of wings blocked the chaos sword strike.
But at the cost of half the wings being blown away and the remaining wings all bent and tattered.
GOOOOO!
The angel revealed its face between the half-blown away wings.
It glared at Zeke while emitting intense light from its eyes.
And at that moment, some light shot out from its eyes and poured toward Zeke.
JIIIING!
When Zeke dodged the angel's eye light, it grazed past his side.
The eye light fell on one side of the city.
Soon a massive light explosion occurred behind Zeke.
KUGUGUGUGU!
With a flash, a huge mushroom cloud rose up to the sky.
And with just that one explosion, half the city vanished without a trace.
Seeing that amazing sight, Zeke realized anew why the Thirteen Palace Paths' angel was the trumpeter of the apocalypse.
'Making something like this, those celestial constellation bastards must be insane.'
Then another message appeared.
[The Master of the Snake Palace expresses anger, stating it will certainly annihilate the Immortal in torment.]
The Master of the Snake Palace controlling the angel seemed provoked and sharpened its tone through indirect messages.
Something crossed Zeke's mind then.
'That angel is essentially an avatar of the constellation. Perhaps... it might be possible.'
After calculating, he spoke to the angel.
"Master of the Snake Palace."
Zeke continued with an arrogant voice and attitude.
"Stop hiding cowardly behind the guardian and come out. I'll deal with the likes of you."
