Chapter 324 Alvine Vs Doppelgängers' Queen!
After being shipped against the barrier, Alvine did not try to rush headlong toward his target,
But at the same time, as he inspected his body to understand the damage he had suffered, his expression darkened when he noticed something strange, not only in his body but also above him!
Without notice, the black mist above the artificial sky suddenly lit up as if it were daylight while dozens of magical weapons appeared with different attributes.
Unlike the weapons that Alvine and the other divine mages materialize with their energies in the form of an aura, the weapons above the queen of doppelgangers were materialistic weapons with physical shapes and auras!
At a glance, Alvine could guess that the weapons above him were the tops among the tops, even comparing them with divine weapons. But the worst thing was that the weapons could be guided by the queen as if they were one part of her body! It was the creation of matter that only primordial beings could do!
'Arghh! This bitch! The worst thing is that to avoid her attacks, I'd need to use all my power, but, but...
While murmuring these words, he looked at his chest once again and realized that Serena's doppelganger had really sealed his central core by pretending to attack him with a punch that was not weak as the regular baits!
That was the problem he had felt with his body, noting that his fractures healed more slowly than usual; for the simple and good reason that his mana could not circulate harmoniously through his three cores to accelerate his regeneration speed.
[Fla--!!!
-Swhooosh!!!
Before he finished invoking his flames to try to burn the mark that the queen had placed on his chest, she attacked him with her ten weapons while remaining at her location as if she were playing with Alvine.
But Alvine himself did not have time to complain about seeing his opponent underestimate him. On the contrary, he could not dream better.
One of the weapons, which was a gigantic bow, drew its golden arrow towards Alvine with incredulous penetration force and unprecedented speed!
If it were as usual, it would be no problem for him to avoid this shot, but except that this time,
It was different!
When he leaned slightly to the left, the arrow, which was supposed to follow a fixed trajectory, suddenly changed its trajectory without losing anything in speed!
'Tsk! I was sure of it! These weapons act as spiritual weapons!' He made this grimace in his beard and continued to fly at full speed to get away from the arrow!
But no matter his lightning speed, he could not escape the queen's arrow which was twice as fast as him, or maybe even more, Because of two factors.
One was that he was simply slower than the arrow. But the reason that made him twice as slow as the arrow was because of his sealed magical energy. All he could do to support his body and continue flying was that he uses the energy of his environment to continue his race.
-Pierce!!
After just five more seconds, the arrow caught up with him!
But before the latter reached him, Alvine created a defensive barrier between him and the arrow.
Then instinctively, the arrow changed direction and pierced his left leg instead heart!
And as the arrow was an extended size of more than six meters, Alvine's leg detached directly from his thigh, splashing his blood!
Simultaneously, while he was going through a pain he had never felt before, a giant halberd more suitable for cutting the head of a dragon than that of a simple humanoid silhouette split the air and whistled toward his skull!
Seeing this, Alvine had no choice but to give himself entirely if he did not want to join the other shadow soldiers in the dimension!
His leg, which had just been decapitated, instantly appeared between him and the halberd after he used his blood control on the rest of the blood in his leg.
-Slice!
Naturally, his leg could not stop the deadly attack of the halberd, but this short delay allowed him to escape the worst. Or at least, that's what he believed...
-Stab!!
-Krgh-KOFF!
Even before he could make the slightest movement, a long sword with two hands stabbed him directly in the heart and simultaneously broke his mana core that the queen had sealed!
While he was spitting a large amount of blood, as if he had just vomited one of his vital organs, the other weapons, including a war axe, a knight's javelin, and three huge daggers, etc., targeted his other two cores and broke them instantly!
Still unsatisfied with the result, the queen cast a giant lava sphere that booed toward Alvine like a miniature sun and bombarded him with it!
-Boom!!!
...
Hearing this sound and seeing their leader take this destructive attack with full force in such a pitiful state, the four generals of Alvine forgot to breathe.
None of them could believe what had just happened before their eyes.
"Impossible! It's...impossible for him to die!" Fyora, who saw Alvine as an unbeatable and unbeatable deity, murmured these words with eyes that were no different from others, empty and inexpressive.
"Sigh, this is what happens when a person overestimates himself. Regardless of the power of a person, or an entity, perfection will never exist; even a primordial being will not be able to survive after having undergone the total destruction of its magical cores." Serena's intrepid tone resonated while in her corners.
Upon hearing her words, Nicco, or rather, Henia... could notice that others were beginning to feel despair emerging in the depths of their hearts.
"Why?!" Barade's rock voice resounded while looking at Hania with hateful eyes.
-??
Seeing her gaze on her, she tilted her head in confusion.
"Why didn't you intervene to save him?! Why did you chain us with these fucking ice chains to prevent us from intervening too?!" He continued with bloody eyes while trying to breakenia's chains but without success.
"..."
Seeing Henia silent and always determined to hold them back, her rage climaxed. But unfortunately, regardless of his rage, he could not blow it up because of the absolute power that held him back.
"So you were an enemy from the beginning?" Fyora whispered this question while in the fog, still not knowing if she should trust her heart or eyes.
"Sigh, what if that were the case?" Henia asked suddenly, surprising even Serena, who frowned.
"..."
Seeing them silent, she continued with a sarcastic smile.
"So far, all you have done is hide behind the unbeatable figure of your sovereign. Instead of doing your duty to protect him from all the dangers, all you have done is barricade yourself in his shadow and let him save your little asses again and again.
-It was not he, who was supposed to guide you and remove all the danger in front of your path, but the opposite. The first proof of your failure as generals was when you let him face this bastard who mastered the field of shadows. The second is when he was separated from you and fought a battle against the ten doppelgängers. And finally, when you met this queen, none of you volunteered to fight in his place. And now, do you have the nerve to accuse me of his death?
-Are you sure to point the finger at me instead of questioning you? Is this how he educated you as accomplished generals supposed to die for their lord? Are you sure it's not the opposite?!"
"... If you didn't have me--
"Shut up, fucking shit! If? Do you want to tell me that 'IF' I didn't stop you, you would save him?! You still haven't understood the problem, GENERAL BARADE? The problem is not your will but your weakness. You became failures as generals from the moment your lord decided to come to this place personally to accomplish a task that he could have given to his generals if they were competent enough. only 'IF' THEY WERE POWERFUL ENOUGH!" She retorted these words with dark eyes.
Meanwhile, Brave and the other two who had attended the whole scene and heard their exchanges had flat expressions.
But each of them could hide their emotions except Brave, who seemed to retain his joy.
*Brave!* Elayja's frustrated voice rumbled in his mind to the point of making him startled with fear.
*What is-?
*Stop being reckless! Just look at this girl's expression. Although I also know that no one will be able to survive such an attack, you must not forget our goal. The real reason for our project to 'cease fire' was not decided because of this man, but because of this woman who is always alive* He interrupted Brave without worrying about politeness.
*...* As for Brave, by noticing The Rage and Frustration of Elaydja, who rarely lost his cold blood despite his innumerable lack of respect for him, he was silent and did his best to hide his joy.
"Tsk, Tsk, tsk! In order to rejoice, to quarrel with each other to prove who is the culprit, or to play the comedy and take this opportunity to motivate your subordinates, why not watch the current battle?" At that moment, Serena's frustrated voice resounded, followed by a loud thunderous explosion that captivated everyone's attention.
-Huuu!!!
Instantly, dark flames ignited and burned to nothing the sphere and weapons of The Queen, exposing the chopped, perforated and incomplete silhouette of Alvine, who had no breath or heartbeat.
But the next moment, the color of his dark flames turned to scarlet reds, followed by the healing and instantaneous regeneration of his wounds and the missing parts of his body burning in his strange flames.
In barely three more secs, his body instantly became as it was, except for his skin, which was wholly anchored black as in his first reappearance.
"Living among these inferior creatures has almost made me forget my nature as one of the lord's direct subordinates.
As long as the mission the Lord had given me is not succeeded, I'd not have the right to stand by his side, even if it's not the envy and nostalgia I miss." While clearing these incomprehensible words and empty of meaning for the others, the scarlet flames instantly merged with his body, returning the body to its original colors.
But it lasted only a short period before two dark and pointed horns appeared on his temples, and his skin became black again, followed by two huge bat wings on his back and a long scaly tail.
After turning himself into his form of "God Of Slaughter", He opened his eyes, which were dark black instead of bloodthirsty reds.
And the next moment, his shadow materialized into two dark daggers in both hands.
"You had a lot of fun dismembering me, didn't you? I guess it's time for me to give you back. My only regret is to learn that you are not alive and that your emotions and expression are all artificial. But I'll be satisfied with it." He said, copying all the weapons the queen had created rather with his affinity for the shadows!
