Chapter 94: Aeloria versus Norg
The |Lightning Star Collision| and the |Mountain Splitting Axe| skills clashed explosively. A massive rumble widely spread, throwing many warriors and cultivators across a wide area. A bright, thunderous light poured forth from the epicenter of the clash.
"Grrragh! Damn it all!!" Ramorous roared, constantly being pushed back by the mighty, thunderous Sword beam.
After struggling for a brief period, he could no longer defend against it and was sent flying by the Lightning Star Collision. The Sword beam continued its devastating path, smashing into various other battlefields and tearing through enemy lines. At this point, a huge, black, burning palm, fifteen feet in radius, thunderously slammed into the remnant power of the attack, almost causing another massive explosion. In the process, Ramorous survived the attack with grave injuries: a colossal, burning, lightning-filled sword slash vertically streaked down his body, from his ruined left face to his crushed innards and bones down his chest and torso.
Suddenly, that burning black hand furiously struck with lightning-fast fury, shooting towards Elton and the White Star Radiance group, murdering both enemy and ally alike. In the blink of an eye, the attack appeared right before them all, and they had no strength or energy left to defend against it.
"Shit! This is bad!" Ramiro shouted, gritting his teeth.
The others couldn't help but look up, a hint of despair on their faces. It was at this crucial moment that a giant greatsword suddenly smacked right into the hand, causing a thunderous collision that knocked all of them back into the distance, causing them to cough up blood.
"Hehehe, I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to harm these kids any longer," laughed a man who appeared, his long, tangled hair and powerfully scarred body striking an imposing figure.
"I don't care what you think you can and can't do, but you can't stop us. Those kids must die!!" a sinister voice declared as a powerful, rhinoceros-looking man charged out like an unstoppable armored vehicle, smashing into the man who also charged at him with his greatsword, laughing. Both possessed incredible power, just above most Golden Lords.
It was also at this time that, like a phantom, an explosive shockwave of burning light struck down near the allied army of the Fanged Elves, very close to the White Star Radiance, who were unable to keep up with the escalating situation due to their injuries. Many warriors were injured and knocked away in their attempts to aid Elton and his group, including the likes of Christina and Jonovan, Erica's parents, who watched in fury, Jewleaf and Shayleaf, and many others. Their cries of panic and fury resounded everywhere.
The culprit who appeared in the spot where the burning light struck down was none other than a slightly injured Norg, whose power radiated at the False Mortal Shedding Realm. Many of the weaker cultivators on either side instantly suffered injuries and even died as the pressure he exuded mounted more and more.
"You children are too dangerous, so for the sake of my own peace of mind, I will have you die here. Heh, Aeloria couldn't stop me, and there is no one here to save you. Now, Die!!"
Norg conjured a black ball of magic in his right hand and was about to unleash it before he was suddenly clashed with an unexpected attack.
—White Star Bomb—
Suddenly, a white ball of energy was released from Elton's hand as it smashed towards the magical ball that Norg was about to release, causing a nullifying explosion. Norg slid back five steps in astonishment, his hands slightly bleeding. He looked at Elton with a sinister gleam.
"Not bad, boy. To actually still be able to put up some fight. Too bad… But don't worry! I will have you all die together!!!"
A much more powerful and larger ball of energy appeared in Norg's hands, a disgusting smirk spreading across his face.
"Heh, what a pathetic man. Hahahaha! I see through you, creature. For your lust and your inferiority, you've bowed your head most of your life while attempting to pillage and pounce on beautiful women. Those disgusting, vile eyes you've made in that slight moment you saw my female comrades… But your mind should be on Lady Aeloria, right? Hahahaha!!! Pathetic excuse of a worm in demon flesh!"
Elton or rather the inner voice possessed Elton laughed, his face and tone becoming arrogant and condescending as he spoke, looking down on Norg as if he were the lowest of trash. No fear could be seen in his eyes. It was as if he truly saw through Norg's very being.
Norg was utterly taken aback, losing himself for a moment at such an incredibly unexpected turn of events. He was then suddenly blinded by extreme rage as his overwhelming aura exploded, stretching massively across the battlefield uncontrollably.
"You! YOU! YOOOOUU!!!! YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING BASTARD!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!! AND I WILL VIOLENTLY DESECRATE YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!!!"
Just as he was about to unleash his attack and kill everyone there, he was suddenly smashed away by a large green whip.
"Arghh!!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!" the furious Norg shouted as he stopped himself from being flung away and was about to begin his attack again, only to be confronted by none other than Aeloria, who now showed various injuries on her body.
"Who are you going to kill again, Norg?" Aeloria said, a cold look in her eyes as she regarded Norg as if he were an insect.
"Damn it! So in the end, they couldn't stop your movements even after receiving such injuries and being trapped temporarily… No matter, this is excellent! I'm stronger than you now, Aeloria!! I've been wanting to press myself on top of you for a long time now…!! Hahahaha!! Prepare yourself!!" shouted the furious Norg, his lust and excitement also exploding exponentially.
They began a mighty clash, shaking the entire area. Both were primarily magical combatants, which made their attacks far more wide-ranged and dangerous. Norg was wild in his assaults, while Aeloria seemed overbearing yet indifferent. She seemed as if she was beginning to be suppressed by him more and more as the battle continued. That's when something utterly unexpected happened.
"Really… It seems that you've been misunderstanding something here, Norg…" Aeloria said, looking at Norg with an even colder gaze, as if staring at an ant.
Suddenly, she appeared before Norg, surprising him for a moment. Just as he was about to launch a counterattack, he found that they had somehow been teleported to the very base of his allied army. There were also two Mortal Lord Demons present, slightly alarmed by their sudden appearance. Before anyone could take action, a giant, ancient-looking magic circle, mixed with Elven Script and Vampire Script, appeared beneath the army, with Aeloria at its center.
"W-What is this?!" Norg shrieked in fury, a terrible feeling suddenly gripping the pit of his stomach.
"It's all thanks to you that I could more easily set something like this up, you fool. And also, you've truly misunderstood this one thing. From the very beginning, you were never truly my opponent."
Suddenly, a mighty aura of a powerful Early Stage Mortal Shedding Realm expert exploded from Aeloria's body, smashing against all in the surrounding area and shocking even the other Mortal Lords from all around. It was also at this time that two other Mortal Lords of the Fanged Elf tribe suddenly appeared, weaving hand signs. The giant formation instantly activated, and an extremely bright green light erupted with Aeloria at its center. Within an instant, thousands of giant tree roots enveloped the entire area, even reaching towards the skies, smashing into flying magical vehicles and cultivators who attempted to flee the area, but to no avail.
Like a huge, gaping maw with tree roots full of tentacle-like tongues, thousands were swiftly, heavily, and deeply dragged beneath the ground's surface. Their blood boiled, slowly being pulled from their bodies in the process. Norg, in the middle of it all, wore an extremely pale expression as he watched everything unfold in mere seconds. He then looked at Aeloria, whose eye merely glanced at him, her attention far from his plight. Unlike the others, he was not being dragged down, but his body seemed to be bound by something.
He roared in anger, about to attempt an attack on Aeloria, only to find that his magic power seemed incredibly weak. When he looked down, to his fright, he saw that he no longer had legs, and his entire torso was missing.
"N-Nooo!!!" Despair filled his face. He also noticed that the cultivation energy he had spent so many years building had been devoured, and he was swiftly falling in tier level. His current strength was that of a Gold Tier 2. As more time passed, reinforcements allied with the demon army finally made their moves to counter and eventually suppress and stop the activation of the Magic, but the devastation was undeniable.
A small area, filled with tall, bloody trees emanating power, stood in the ruined, war-torn forest lands. It sent a chill down both enemy and ally spines alike, as they could clearly sense the essence of many warriors flowing through those trees. Whether they were all alive or not was completely unknown. In the middle of the bloody tree forest, only one person could still be seen, with most of his body integrated into the tree. His torso was completely gone, the rest of his body was fractured while wrapped in the tree's trunk, and his arms hung loosely. He had a face full of deathly despair.
The man was none other than the once powerful Hobgoblin Demon Norg. His cultivation? Currently sitting at Silver Tier 2. Such was the ruthless punishment administered by Aeloria. She took his manhood, took his cultivation, took his friends and allies under his banner, and even took away his ability to kill himself. Truly a ruthless and absolute victory.
