Level Up Legacy Chapter 790: Breaker and Creator

Chapter 790: Breaker and Creator

"Did Eragon just teleport?" muttered Ca.s.sius with fear as he flew away, trying to flee toward the sky. The wind gathered below him, carrying him toward the clouds.

However, Eragon appeared above him again, looking like a band of black lightning who clawed at him again. Ca.s.sius knew that he would be a dead man if the claw grabbed him again.

The Sin of Pride had never known such fear before because Eragon had been in seclusion for thousands of years. His sin ate him away, allowing him to befriend no man or have no desire other than destruction. In the end, his sin robbed him of everything.

Thus, the calamity never attacked the others. Instead, it avoided interfering with the world until the Battle of G.o.ds occurred. At that time, the guardians and the calamities devised a plan to convince Eragon to fight King Arthur.

Ca.s.sius hurried to compress the air between them before commanding it to expand. Thus, the two calamities were pushed away, allowing Ca.s.sius to gain some distance. He was now sure of the dread he had.

Eragon could use the creator's abilities. It was a notion that made him believe this was a nightmare. If the strongest breaker and creator became one, who could stand against Arthur Silvera anymore?

The Sin of Pride needed to warn the others about it because this changed everything. However, first, he needed to escape this beast. It was a terrifying sight, even for Ca.s.sius, who was two meters tall.

The mountain of corpses started moving inside her dream, and all of them surrounded Suyin. Their rotting arms wrapped around her, pulling her toward the death swamp, and she tried screaming. However, no sound could reach her sister, and the young Lin Xue merely watched.

"Why?"

"Why did you kill us?"

"We died because of you, Suyin."

The corpses blamed her as they tried to bury her, but Suyin could not scream. All she could feel was the suffocating lack of air, and her lungs wanted to explode. Her arms reached out from the corpses to seek an escape as her consciousness was fading.

"I… deserve… this…" thought Little Yin as her consciousness faded. Then, as her feelings grew numb and she could no longer feel anything, a powerful grip held her forearm and pulled her out of the corpses.

Suyin was thrown out of the mountain by a golden figure whose face could not be seen. She sensed familiarity within him, but before she could touch him, the figure suddenly started becoming black.

The man let go of her and staggered back while holding his head. Then, he howled toward the sky, and her subconsciousness grew unstable. Suyin watched as the world fragmented under his beastly howl, and then she opened her eyes.

"This is…" her voice was weak as she blinked her eyes. Suyin saw a rocky ceiling above her, and she pushed herself to sit. After her headache subsided, she was confused about where she was. It seemed to be some stone hut that protected her.

A tingling feeling appeared on her hand, and she looked down to see runic lights glowing beneath her. Suyin was confused before standing up and exiting the hut to find herself on a hill hidden on its side. Countless runic lines surrounded her, and she realized it must be Arthur who did this.

"What happened to the poison?" she touched her neck, but it was gone. Suyin was still confused when a howl came from behind her, and she turned around in a hurry.

It was an ancient and pained howl, and it took her a moment to remember where she heard it. This was the same howl from her dream, which the man in golden and black let out. Pain and anger almost turned his voice hoa.r.s.e, and hearing it broke her heart.

"What is that?" frowned Suyin as she stared at the city floating atop the water. It seemed half destroyed by countless boulders, while others were still raining toward it from the sky.

It looked like a scene from h.e.l.l, where countless knights flew to push the boulders away and protect the city. However, the howling continued, accompanied by the whole town shaking.

"Where is Arthur?" asked Suyin while looking around, but she could find no traces of him. Then, as she looked around, something flew over her head and landed in the valley ahead of her. It was a whitish man who radiated a suppressing aura that made it harder to breathe.

The flying white man seemed deep in thought, unable to notice her. He was still thinking when a portal opened before him, and a creature crawled out. Suyin fell to the ground to hide as she stared at the newcomer.

It was a humanoid monster that resembled a human but with dark lightning covering his body. Suyin squinted her eyes at him because of how familiar it was. However, the h.o.a.ry man seemed scared of him and sought to escape.

As the two started fighting, with one fleeing and one chasing, Suyin recognized the howls of the black-lightning. It was a creature of chaos, but she sensed the same pain and anger she heard in those howls.

"…Arthur?" muttered Suyin with a frown. The man in the golden mana should have been Arthur before the black lightning overtook his body. Instead, however, the creature resembled not a single trait of the man she adored.

The creature howled again toward the sky, its jaw unhinged to cover half its head. It looked to be in pain, but there was much more. It looked wrathful as it struck the man down repeatedly as the latter tried to flee.

"How can you use two opposing abilities, Eragon?!" shouted the white creature after it rose from the ground. However, the black lightning never ceased but only got more wrathful. It staggered back, with howls deeper than before, while holding its head in pain.

"AAAGGGGHHHH!"

Beastly and humanly howls mixed as they left the black lightning's throat, his voice growing hoa.r.s.e. It raised its arms before smas.h.i.+ng them to the ground, creating an explosive wave of black lightning across the valley.

Suyin scrambled backward as she tried to escape it, but it was too late. Her back was pushed against the stone hut by the wave of black lightning, and she waited for the excruciating pain. However, it never arrived.

Suyin felt no pain, only a tingling feeling throughout her body. She opened her eyes slowly while looking around, unable to understand what had happened. Then, she spotted the runic lines on the ground as they dissolved into nothing.

"This lightning can disable runes?" muttered Suyin before crawling back toward the hill's edge. "This cannot be Arthur, right?"

The wave of black lightning seemed to be more effective on the whitish being, who lost his ability to fly. However, it appeared to have enraged him, and the man roared while raising his arms.

Suyin was confused about what he wanted to do, but the ground shook beneath her. Then, as she looked behind her, she saw the hill rising. All the surrounding hills and mountains were rising like snakes.

"What is going on?" cried Suyin as she ran toward the stone hut and held it tightly. The hill started bending over as it elongated like an elastic rope, with Suyin still riding it. She realized that she should have jumped, but it was too late.

The stone hut was the sole object she could grab, and she was soon dangling from it. But then, the hills, mountains, and ever the lake started rising like snakes to surround the valley.

"We are both calamities, Eragon!" shouted the whitish man as his mana exploded around him. "You break the world while I control it! Let us contend and figure out who is the true sin!"

The rising terrain crashed toward the black-lightning creature while it stood alone. Suyin tried to find an escape, but she couldn't think of anything, and all she could do was dangle from the upside-down stone hut.

As Suyin looked down to find a chance to jump, she realized that the creature called Eragon had stopped. Instead of fighting, it stared at her as if realizing her predicament. But, unfortunately, its enemy also seemed to notice her before a smile appeared on his face.

"Ah, this must be the woman you've been protecting, Arthur Silvera," said the white creature before raising its arms again. "Let's see how you are going to protect her now!"

After his roaring laugh, the hilltop started rus.h.i.+ng toward another mountain. The two of them were about to collide and crush Suyin. But, as she was about to let go and fall, the stone hut suddenly changed for and cuffed her.

"Let go of me!" shouted Suyin as she kicked the stone hut, but it was useless. Her kicks were far from being enough. When she heard another howl, Suyin looked downward to find Eragon soaring toward her.
