Chapter 228 - The Finale(a)
'They are too sharp. I will lose my entire avatar if I try to block these needles head-on.
The needles with darkness surging around them were sharp enough to cut the fabric of reality itself, cutting the space as if it was a sheet of white paper, so Elliot didn't need to think twice to believe that even his avatar would get chopped up into pieces.
'But I can't dodge it either!'
Lucy, Grace, and the other were behind him. If he moved out of the way of the ten thousand needles, then they would die for sure.
'Hmm.'
'Let's think of something else.'
He didn't want to lose them, not even a single one of them! Although most of them weren't close to him, they had still fought together for several hours and were brother in arms. He had already cultivated good feelings for them, and it's not like he can't deal with the needles by using overwhelming powers!
"Don't sacrifice yourself for us!"
"Escape by yourself if it's necessary."
"Don't die. Only then can you take revenge for us later!"
Although the eyes of said people and beasts had already widened in fear as they were stunned at the power of the serpentine devil that threatened to slay them and scared because they didn't know whether Elliot would sacrifice them to save his hide or protect them with his flesh and blood, they still wanted him to choose the best option for himself.
"Don't worry; I won't be giving up on anyone today." The brightness in Elliot's eyes intensified, and ten thousand rays of golden lights shot out of his eyes. Each of them crashed on the tip of the needless, changing their trajectory to the eastern and southern skies.
A smirk unconditionally appeared on Elliot's face, irking his opponent.
"Hmph! It's far from over."
Of course, if even this move was so easy to be dealt with by others, the serpentine devil indeed didn't serve to be one of the demonic generals!
"Innate racial skill: Puppeteer's circus!"
Along with demonic chants that chimed in the sky, tens of thousands of thin crimson strings extended out of the fingertips of the titan and attached themselves to all the reasons. Then, it waves its hands, redirecting their trajectory, causing them to shoot towards Elliot's avatar from all directions.
"Haha, the needles are coming towards you from everywhere! There's no escape, you fool! If you hadn't tried to help others, you wouldn't have fallen for my trap! But now it's already too late. You're going to die, this time for sure."
It was a wonder how it could shoot out so many words in such an intense battle.
Anyway, Elliot didn't have time to retort as many bad things threatening to reap his life were extremely near him!
"Hmph!" Elliot snorted and released a majestic attack.
[You're trying to conjure the image in your mind into reality.]
[-200000 units of the essence of life.]
With a wave of the celestial giant's hand, the view of the entire world changed. Out of nowhere, to the surprise of many, hundreds of golden rivers lit the sky in brilliant light and wiped out the ten thousand deadly spikes, taking only the split of a second to do so.
"Sigh, if only your fighting capabilities had even one-tenth of your talking capabilities, then you wouldn't have put up such a disappointing fight."
Elliot scoffed as the titan raised its head to look at him in extreme bewilderment. A single hand destroyed its attack that was powerful enough to lay waste to an entire magic kingdom! It was an attack that it had used to destroy the strongest of nations on many planets before conquering them. But today, it failed to kill even a single person.
Simply ridiculous!
As Elliot noticed that the big oaf had lost itself in thoughts, he moved his booty, flapped his wings, and covered the between them as fast as he could.
Before the titan could even blink its eyes, Elliot appeared before him, and the next thing it knew was that it was landing kisses on his knuckles.
"Lost in thought while fighting against me? Heh, isn't that the same as asking for a beating! Are you a masochist by chance?"
Elliot made it kiss his knuckles so many times that its entire nose turned flat, almost as if a doctor made an error while giving it a nose job. Also, its face was a mixture of new red and old dark blood, causing it to look as handsome as dirty and soiled toilet water.
As he had finally created his masterpiece that the entire magician would see community and remember throughout the ages, it was high time for him to judge the serpentine devil on behalf of the innocent ones of his race and the fools that had been sleeping and ignoring all the misdeeds committed by the serpentine devil.
"You're about to die. Any last word?" As a gentleman, the one thing Elliot loved to do the most was to return others' favor. The serpentine devil only found it out now.
However, it wanted Elliot to kill him, not only because he had enough of getting humiliated but also because the moment his avatar dies, he would be able to release true devastation on the ignorant person's head!
It opened its mouth to say something but could not say even a word as Elliot's avatar stuffed his fist into its mouth, laughed, and pulled it out. Only after that happened three times did the serpentine devil use a demonic technique to speak instead of its mouth.
"Kill me? Hahaha, even the top four dogs of your race don't dare to kill my avatar head-on, and you think you can? I dare you to kill me right now if you have any courage left in your bones."
At the moment, It had the worst kind of look on its face, one that would cause a saint to raise his hand.
