The Villain's Story Chapter [329] To Do Whatever It Takes To Win.

Chapter [329] To Do Whatever It Takes To Win.

It was a battle of breathtaking proportions. A purple inferno raged across the lands, stopped by attacks of pure mana from the sky, Slashes of Crescent lightning, and a Spear possessing a power contrasting it.

Hiroto, Arken, And Oliver all attacked Azlan together, And the demon Duke fought them alone.

His flames flared, creating a purple infernal tornado that aimed to kill Oliver.

Arken appeared in front of it and split in half, but Azlan shot another chaos blast aimed straight at Arken, it approached with such a speed that Arken would be unable to cut it.

But Oliver was there. He immediately cast Telekinesis on Arken and moved him out of the way, the chaos blast flew undisturbed and exploded high in the skies.

The world was dyed purple for a moment as the explosion occurred, and a sound loud enough to shatter an eardrum resounded.

"..."

Oliver gazed at the power of that blast in awe. Even though it was the attack of his enemy…to Fire that so quickly and calmly.

[You thought there was only one?]

Suddenly, a s.h.i.+ver ran down Oliver's spine as he turned around to see a dozen more coming his Arken's way.

"s.h.i.+t!'

He cursed and expertly maneuvered Arken and Himself with telekinesis to dodge the blasts.

Hiroto quickly intercepted Azlan to stop the barrage at Oliver and Arken, and thus they were saved. However, the shockwave from the explosions in the sky was so strong they threw Oliver and Arken in Azlan's range. However, fortunately for them, Azlan was being kept occupied by Hiroto.

Hiroto used the Ame-no-Sakahoko and fired of a crescent slash of his mana, imbued with the properties of the Upturned Sky spear.

Azlan, instead of taking the attack head dodged, His ma.s.sive body proved to be a disadvantage in this fight. He was an easier target.

[...That spear is troublesome.]

Azlan thought. The Ame-No-sakahoko was troublesome. It possessed the power to dispel chaos and was the complete counter to it. It was like a celestial weapon the annoying celestials had. Because of the nature of that Spear, Azlan made Hiroto his top priority.

[I'll get rid of you first.]

Declared Azlan as he made his way towards Hiroto, His flames raged upward.

He manifested a sword suitable for his size with his inferno and slashed it downwards At Hiroto.

"Arken! Your Cue!"

Hiroto yelled as the ma.s.sive infernal sword approached. Oliver used telekinesis to propel Arken in front of Hiroto.

[RAVAGER STYLE(5-star)]

[SECOND MOVEMENT]

//SKY SPLIT\

Arken used the second movement of the Ravager style. The sword style that he created through countless attempts.

A sword style meant to shatter the Underworld, Earth, Skies, Heaven, and even the world.

A ma.s.sive strike covered in Lightning met with the Blade of Azlan, Golden lightning and purple inferno fought against one another, creating a spectacular but deadly sight.

The attacks were almost Equal. Hiroto and Oliver broke the attacks by attacking Azlan. Oliver cast a light attribute spell, dangerous to demons.

[PILLAR OF UNDYING LIGHT.]

The skies lit up, and a heavenly light descended upon the world. The Demons s.h.i.+vered as they saw an S-rank spell being cast.

The light was enough to completely vanquish the lower-cla.s.s demons, and it even burned the skin of the higher-ranking demons before being fully cast.

"Oh light of judgement…"

Oliver began his chant.

Azlan, in the very center of the Spell's range, tried to get out but was stopped by Hiroto.

"Where the f.u.c.k do you think you're going?"

[Die!]

Azlan fired a breath of purple inferno At Hiroto, who used his spear art to intercept it.

"Enlighten the ignorant…The foolish."

Oliver's words carried power, one could feel and see the spell gaining power with each word.

[HEAVENLY SPEAR(5-STAR)]

//HEAVENLY THRUST\

Azlan, while keeping his breath active tried to move away but failed to do so, His breath was stopped By Arken, who cut the Achilles tendon in his right leg, causing him to fall on his knees.

"YEAH!"

"KILL HIM!"

The awakened roared as they saw the duke fall.

[Like we will let you do that!]

A swarm of high-ranked demons flew up, aiming to intercept Oliver's casting.

But they were all stopped by the other awakened, who dragged them down with skills and mana in order to let Oliver continue his cast.

"Let there be light."

And then there was light. A ma.s.sive Pillar of holy light descended Upon Azlan, It was so huge it covered even his immense body. It shook the very Earth as it granted judgment upon Azlan.

Azlan's fiery visage disappeared inside the blinding light.

"...something's off."

Muttered Oliver from the skies…He was feeling something strange. The Awakened and military forces were cheering…But something was wrong.

Arken remained vigilant and was ready to strike again the moment the Light disappeared.

"...Is it over?"

Hiroto muttered. Regardless, He remained vigilant as well. He was not a rookie to make such a mistake of thinking the enemy was dead.

"The beam of light started to dissipate…and then it happened.

An infernal tornado of chaotic flames rose high in the sky and defied the light.

[I…am a duke.]

[Authority Of The Duke (SSS) has been activated.]

Oliver's mana rebounded at him. And Hiroto and Arken, who were going to attack as soon as the inferno appeared stopped…the skill stopped their movements.

"I can't move!"

'Ugh…'

Arken and Hiroto struggled to move. Arken was helpless but Hiroto, with the Ame No Sakahoko

Would be free soon. Due to the spear's special abilities, his resistance to demonic skills increased.

[Die.]

Azlan aimed for Hiroto because of this, He swung his Sword of infernal chaos.

"s.h.i.+T!"

Hiroto was barely able to use the Ame-No-Sakahoko to block…But that was enough.

In an instant…The ma.s.sive power behind the attack was enough.

Everything went white for an instant…the shockwaves traveled through Hiroto's body…Fracturing his bones and making him cough blood. This was the result of Pure, brute strength.

Hiroto was sent flying, his figure streaked across the sky, he crashed into multiple buildings and created a crater when he fell… A few rebars even pierced his body.

The demons rejoiced whilst the Awakened disappeared.

"Hiroto!"

Arken yelled he was going to help Hiroto but the Duke would not let him.

[You dare turn your back on me?]

His chaotic voice rang out, As soon as Arken turned around, he was met with a chaos blast at point-blank range.

"Arken!"

Oliver coughed up blood and was injured as well because of the Mana rebound, he tried to support Arken but it was too late…

Arken's figure disappeared, and the explosion engulfed him.

[And now…Only you are left.]

Azlan unfurled his wings and flew up high to confront Oliver.

His fiery visage struck terror into the hearts of the humans…and joy into the hearts of the demon.

This was their commander! A Duke!

This was his unquestionable might.

"d.a.m.n it…"

Oliver and Azlan had a staredown in the sky.

[It was impressive that you could use elven magic…but to think even the magic of the celestials was in your a.r.s.enal.]

Azlan's flames increased in intensity, and Oliver cast a barrier to protect himself.

[Given some time…I would have been defeated by you alone…]

Azlan readied his sword and charged at Oliver.

[But destiny is cruel.]

And their airborne battle began.

***********

[Hiroto Pov]

…what happened…?

I can't hear anything…its numb.

Everything…is numb…

The last thing I remember is…getting attacked by that duke.

'...Where am I?'

I thought…but Neither could I see nor could I feel.

It hurts…or does it?

'Am I in a state of shock?'

I thought…maybe that was the case…the power behind that strike was immense.

'...No…I can't die…'

I need to go help Arken and Oliver…

This is my home…my wife's home…My people's home.

"Ughhh…"

I tried to move…but what was going on?

…Move…Move… I begged my broken body to move…

I don't know what's happening…

However…I could hear now…somewhat.

"Finish him!"

"Protect the saint!"

"Kill Him!"

"Healers! WE NEED YOU HERE NOW!"

Human voices…mixed with demons…I can hear somewhat now…

Am I even holding onto the Ame-No-Sakahoko…?

*Blurgh…*

Did I vomit…?

I don't know…

Where is my spear..?

'It hurts…'

It hurts too much…Only now did the numbness disappear and the pain came. Like a tsunami.

I hurriedly examined my condition once I could…And It was terrible.

I can't move like this…But I need to.

I need to move…to protect my home.

I know how…

Suddenly…I came up with an Idea. It was by no means easy and neither did I try it before..but it's my only hope right now. I can hear the sounds of battle around me…People are trying their best to defend me…

I need to get up.

[HEAVENLY SPEAR]

[THIRD MOVEMENT]

//HEAVENLY ARMAMENT\

I used the third moveent of my spear technique to create an armour around me…and then I expanded it…Not outwards.

But inwards…I could feel the armour pierce into my skin and bones…It's painful… I'm forcefully using my mana to control my shattered body…

I want to let out screams…it hurts…It hurts too much…

But I need to…i need to bear…it…

I can move now…I need to get back into the fight.

I regained my sight by using my mana to enhance my optical nerves…and I was thankful the Ame No Sakahoko was still In my grasp…

Let's go buddy…Let's go kill that demon.

I charged forward.
