novelTwo Essence Gods
| ← Ch.358 | Ch.360 → |
A man with a skinny body, red eyes, and ash-like skin was looking at an army that neared the tribe of the Dragon Race.
"Nearing the tribe openly while those monsters prepare a space barrier, that is a pretty good idea to make them fall in despair."
The man was laughing when suddenly an ice spear pierced his chest. However, the man turned into a dark smoke before reforming his body again. Moreover, there wasn't any wound on his body.
"You have a pretty savage way to greet others."
The man looked to the woman in front of him, who hadn't doubted in attacking before saying a word. However, for Essence Gods, a spear piercing the heart wasn't enough to kill.
"To think that you dared to provoke such a mess here... I have heard of you, but I still don't know how many planets you eradicated without reason."
The woman's voice was as cold as ice, and even the vapor water in the air turned into snowflakes when she spoke.
"It wasn't without reason. I wanted to show my strength, so it is normal that some worlds disappear. It is their fault for being weak, how can I be blamed for that?"
The man grinned while speaking because he never felt that he did bad by destroying entire planets.
"This is the world of my father's best friend, and your current target is the son of that man. Do you think that you can still do as you want?"
There was an alliance between that woman's faction and Liye's father, so there was no way she could watch as an Essence God provoked such a mess in the world and tried to kill Yale without acting.
"Why are you so sure that I planned all? I am just laughing while seeing a war among ants."
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to intend telling the truth, the woman started to grow angry.
"I left a seal inside the sea monster you have killed, and I know what happened before his death. You still dare to claim that this had nothing to do with you?"
The grin of the man just turned stronger.
"Eh, so you know that. Very bad, now I also need to kill you. I was planning to deal with you later, after having kidnaped your sister to use her as my hostage, but it seems that I need to start my plans ahead of time."
Threads of darkness appeared from the man's body and attacked his opponent, but the attack was useless.
"It seems that coming alone was the right decision; I don't want to think what would have happened to my sister if I left her alone."
Liye's legacy disciple was the first in wanting to go helping Yale by killing that man with red eyes, but in the end, he remained back taking care of his girlfriend.
Since there was an Essence God implicated in the plot, it would be dangerous leaving a Law God alone. Moreover, it was as the red-eyed man said, kidnapping her would be enough to put a restraint on her boyfriend and her sister.
"Killing you in a short time may be difficult, but you are dreaming of harming me. That man is already doomed, give up and follow him!"
The battle among the two started provoking that a lot of people in the western continent fainted by the leak of their auras. Fortunately, the space barrier of the sea monsters isolated those inside well enough, so they weren't affected.
Foreign Essence Gods like them shouldn't interfere in the wars of the world, but the man with red eyes had already broken that rule when he incited a war, so no one would be able to complain if he was killed by another Essence God in retaliation.
The woman had first thought in saving Yale's group first, but given that they didn't know her, it wouldn't be easy convince them, and even if they believed her, helping them would have left an opening for the red-eyed man to attack.
She had never met him before, but the red-eyed man was famous for his viciousness and his narrow-mind. He was once a member of the five strongest Law Gods together with herself and Liye before his reincarnation.
The members of that group were decided arbitrarily by others, and most of them usually didn't even bother with it, but that man always wanted to battle the other four to show that he was the number one.
However, Liye went to reincarnation before meeting him, and the rest, red-eyed man included, ended becoming Essence Gods, so they left the group before someone determined who was the strongest.
In fact, the only one interested in that was the red-eyed man, so he looked for the other two and ended killing them after a tough battle, in which he used all of his tricks to maximize his chances of winning.
Of course, that included taking hostages, killing their loved ones to make them lose their temper, and anything that could help without worrying about if it was fair or not.
After killing those two, he thought that he only had one opponent left, the woman in front of his eyes, so he ended tracking her until Yale's world.
At first, he planned to look for a chance to kidnap her sister, but she was always stuck to her boyfriend, who was also an Essence God, so he had no chance to kidnap her.
What he didn't expect when nearing Yale's world, was discovering the existence of Liye's reincarnation, who was also quite weak, so it was a better target to kill.
Of course, the red-eyed man didn't fear the backgrounds of anyone because he himself had a great background, so he used to turn crazy and kill as much as he wanted without any consequence.
While both battled, they didn't stop observing the war between the army and the tribe, and both were quite shocked when Yale killed a law master and four-fifths of the army in an instant.
"Well, even if he turned into an ant, he was once someone who was grouped with me as one of the five strongest Law Gods, so this isn't unexpected."
The red-eyed man didn't mind about the lives lost in the army in the hands of Yale because it wasn't like if he cared about anyone in that army, all of them were just disposable pawns.
"I can't understand why you are so obsessed in killing all of us. Just because you want to be recognized as the strongest? You can call yourself the strongest if you want, it isn't like if I have any interest in that title."
The red-eyed man had already killed the other two women who had belonged to their group, and although she hadn't met any of them before, they weren't the type who liked to catch attention from others, and they were focused on training without caring for comparisons. If it wasn't because others looked for trouble with them because their beauty, no one would have known that they were so strong.
"Those two also didn't have any interest in the title, but just accepting that wouldn't have made others think that I am the strongest. Can't you understand that my pride is far more important than your lives? My pride is my own existence! Why you women can't understand it?"
The red-eyed man always felt that the three women in the group fled from him because women didn't care about pride, and Liye died, so they lost the chance to battle, but the red-eyed man was sure that Liye would have battled against him to determine who was the strongest.
Of course, Liye wasn't someone who bothered about titles like being the strongest, nor had any special pride. The one with a huge problem was only the red-eyed man who needed to be always the best and couldn't endure that others were at his level or stronger than him.
"You are such a fool... I met a lot of people in my life, both men and women, and I am sure that the problem with your pride doesn't have any relation with gender."
As someone who lived for lots of years, there was no way that she didn't know that much. There were crazy people like the man in front of her eyes, but that kind of people appeared in any species and could have any gender, so thinking like that man who thought that she couldn't understand because she was a woman was just a foolish thought.
"Say whatever you want, but you will die today and become part of my reputation!"
Just when he finished saying those words, both of them looked towards the space barrier because it had been distorted after Yale killed five of the sea monsters.
"Liye's reincarnation is pretty stupid, doing that would only make the space barrier to go berserk, but it won't break. oh, they are all already dead."
He had just seen Yale teleporting to the tribe after killing the fifth sea monster and the barrier protecting the tribe had been broken at the same moment.
However, a full power attack of the Law God followed it and annihilated the whole tribe.
When the red-eyes man thought that Yale was already dead, the tribe appeared again as if it had never suffered any damage.
The reason was that Yale cast Absolute Protection just after teleporting back to the tribe and had saved everyone from sure death.
