Chapter 884: The Disaster Arc II
Vorvadoss lunged forward, swinging his fist at Cain. CLANG! Cain blocked the attack with his wrist, swinging his hand at the abomination's stomach and sending him flying into the sky.
ZON! Vorvadoss appeared back on the ground. He is the lord of space. Teleporting like this was as simple as breathing.
The residents of the city screamed as they rushed out, and the guards pulled all of the gates open. Leon, Alice's brother, charged into the battlefield on horseback, "CAIN! What's this monster about!" He shouted.
"Run away! This is an otherworldly creature. Don't let him kill you!" Cain flew toward Vorvadoss, but the lord of space teleported right behind Leon, ripping his body in half with a smile.
"You bastard!" Cain growled. Vorvadoss feeds off his victims' souls. Those that die with a direct hit from him get absorbed and fuel his power. Like any human with a system that gains power by killing monsters and leveling up, this bastard is leveling up through the souls of this world's residents, be they humans, monsters, or gods.
SWOSH! Cain flew behind Vorvadoss and pointed a finger at him, unleashing a powerful blast. Thud! Vorvadoss stepped forward, unfazed as he swung a fist at Cain's face, sending him flying.
^I see. He's twisting space itself.^ Cain thought as his body flew through several buildings. It's like my attacks are moving from the back to the front of a carriage, and this abomination moves the entire carriage.
"How annoying," Cain growled, swinging his palm down. "Slash!" He compressed a massive amount of air into a massive blade and mixed it with holy magic for one massive slash, sending it flying toward Vorvadoss and cutting his arm off.
At that moment, Cain realized the scope of the predicament he was in. The souls Vorvadoss ate are still within him and can be saved, but there is a catch. Since they are inside Vorvadoss, attacking him with anything too powerful could damage them, so Cain can't blast this bastard with a single hit. Also, using something weak will only result in the spell getting diverged with space.
BAM! Cain landed on a wall and bounced right back toward Vorvadoss, clenching a fist. "Taking you down is a pain."
Vorvadoss unleashed a wave of green flame, but Cain flew through unfazed and punched him in the guts. "See you later." He tried teleporting him into an empty plane of existence so they could fight, but it didn't work.
^I can control everything in this world, but his body is his. I can't move it. He isn't a resident of this world. He can still resist me with his space manipulation.^ Cain spun in place and kicked Vorvadoss into the sky. "Take this!" He blasted him with a massive burst of lighting.
[ThuderRoar of the Dragon's Overlord] Power harnessed from Sofia, the chromatic dragon goddess.
ZON! Vorvadoss appeared right behind Cain, swinging a fist.
Cain grabbed the fist and spun around, swinging a kick, but the massive abomination dodged, only for Cain to quickly smack him back into the sky.
^I knew that blast wouldn't kill him, but I hoped it'd at least push him high enough…^ Cain flew after him. His main objective now was to buy enough time for the people to run away. He could teleport them, but knowing Vorvadoss, he'd use that change to eat all of them at once.
Cain turned his staff into a sword and took a stance, immediately swinging toward Vorvadoss and cutting one of his legs.
Vorvadoss got blasted back as a powerful blast of wind followed Cain's swing. His moves were too fast not to cause damage.
"Physical damage doesn't seem to hurt the souls inside you. So I'll take my time cutting you apart until I find a way to extract them." Cain flew forward as Vorvadoss regenerated.
All abominations have a rule and to beat them is to surpass that rule and find a way around it.
Cain swung his blade, and Vorvadoss dodged the first attack but got sliced in the second as he took that chance to kick Cain across the city once again.
"Run away!" The city lord, William, shouted at the top of his lungs as he waved his hand, watching the citizen running toward the gates as the guards pushed the ruble away to open a path.
"Those two…" William growled, his eyes looking at the distance where Cain and Vorvadoss were exchanging hits at a blinding speed, crushing the city to the ground.
"Lord William, please run away!" The head guard approached him. "This city isn't safe. Not with those two monsters fighting over there."
"Cain is no monster. He's there fighting to protect us." William glared back at the guard.
"Sorry, my tongue slipped." The guard bowed, "But what's that thing to be able to stand against the white mage this long?"
William shook his head, "I don't know."
"This could be an S-rank monster. We should report it to the other cities and gather help." The head guard looked at the chaos.
William shook his head, "They'll be useless. That thing is no S-rank monster," He knew, Alice had been keeping him updated every now and then, and he knew that Cain was currently the overgod of the world. He knew, that if Vorvadoss is holding against Cain, it's not something that Mortals should attempt to fight.
"Don't. You'll only get them killed." William growled with a sad face, "I feel it. We've lost Leon, what a shame."
"It'll not be useless. There is nothing an army can't beat." The head guard shook his head.
"No, you're wrong." William turned around, "Our only chance is to pray to the gods. They are the only ones who can stand a chance."
CRACK! A massive bone gate fell outside the city, and everyone froze in place except Cain and Vorvadoss.
"What's that!" The guards screamed.
William smiled. "This place is really cursed. How many times the gate of hell would open here?"
The massive gate started opening and a gust of stinking wind rushed out, heating the whole place as a massive red draconic head peeked out, soon followed by a massive body, twelve heads, and enough heat to choke everyone.
Thud! Alice landed in front of her father and waved her hand, engulfing the citizen in a barrier. "Sofia! Be careful, do you want to kill them with your magic?!"
"Sorry!" Sofia gasped in her draconic form, "I didn't know my passive magic discharge could hurt them!"
"Keep it together, you're the chromatic dragon goddess. You're magic is through the roof." Alice growled.
"Alice, you're here?!" William gasped.
Alice turned toward him with a smile. "Don't worry, father. Leon would be okay," She conjured two swords, one cracking with divine magic and the other burning with the rotting curse.
"Like this?" She looked up, and the sun shifted, eclipsing as Amaterasu slowly flew down.
Cain smiled as he traded blows with Vorvadoss, "I see, the disaster wasn't the dungeon break, it wasn't Morena's attack, nor comeback. It was this, this is the disaster where the gates of hell open beneath the eclipsed sun."
Cain kicked Vorvadoss away, "It's bait and switch, the thing you love the most, isn't it?" As Cain glared forward, he could see a shadow emerging from Vorvadoss. Nyra used Vorvadoss's space rule to get into the world.
"Caught off guard, aren't you Overgod." Nyar smiled, lifting his hand and pointing at Cain with his twisted finger. "It's all over, time for you to die."
"You can't kill me in this world."
"That's what you think." Nyar flew at Arad.
Vorvadoss tried to join the fight, but Sofia caught him with a bite, throwing him into the mountains with a massive breath.
"I'll eat this bastard and extract the souls as I do with dragon souls." She flapped her wings, flying into battle.
"For us," Alice growled, staring at the sky as hundreds of abominations sharted pulling up from Nyar's aura. "We kill those bastards."
Devils rushed out of the Hellgate and started collecting the people, dragging them away. "Don't worry! Those devils would get you to safety." Alice shouted and then looked forward as Amaterasu landed beside her.
"You've gotten good at using my magic." Amaterasu smiled.
"You must be joking, I've only managed to shield them since you stabilized the magic," Alice replied, and then they saw one massive titanic monster fall from the sky.
"That's a big boy." Amaterasu giggled, lifting her palm as she was about to blast him to oblivion.
Thud! Alice caught her hand, "Stop, leave him to her." As she said that, Selena lunged in her titanic black jaguar form, biting the titan's head and killing him on the spot.
They can open a gate directly to Cain's heaven, but that would give Nyra a direct path to their base. That is why they are using a detour through hell, the only place where they could go all out without worry.
"Nyar is a tricky bastard." Amaterasu smiled, looking at Cain and Nyar fighting. "We need to drag him to hell where Cain could go all out."
