Chapter 199 - Battle Of Giants VI - What Is That Thing...?

I just watched in joy as the expression of the wyvern turned from relief to pride and right back down to immediate despair. 

The scene was so satisfying that I had almost forgotten about the mind crippling pain surging throughout my body, alongside the cracks that keep becoming wider the longer I did not use any mana.

However, right now I was currently pouring all my mana into the fire explosion spell that I had created a few years back that could probably create a hole 1000 meters in diameter, yet now this one was dyed white with the color of the light element. On the other hand, I held an unstable azure flame that circulated with the power of wind, fire, ice, and electricity constantly being pumped with an enormous amount of mana.

Simultaneously, the expression on my face softened from its stiff self while the cracks on my body finally started healing faster than they were being created.

The wyvern watched without being able to say anything. It simply could not even bargain even if it wanted to make the despair on the face of the despair only grow deeper into its draconic face.

"Any final words?" I asked with a tone of mockery before gasping as if I had remembered something

"Oh wait, you can't speak, can you? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" My laugh rang about in the area as I completely ignored the pain I was going through and simply let out my happiness.

"TO THINK A PEAK DIAMOND TIER WOULD BE THIS WEAK, HAHAHAHAHAHA" The laugh laced with mockery continued to sound for a few more seconds before I finally sighed and pointed both flames towards the fake dragon.

I could see it try to plead with its eyes, but I simply replied with a devilish smile.

It could not attack due to its lungs being frozen and nor could it flap away from its location due to one of its wings having completely been covered with azure flames before finally extinguishing and leaving behind an unusable wing.

"Goodbye~" The two flames shot towards the Wyvern. As they got closer to the wyvern they began to close into each other before spinning like two stars with their own gravitational pulls and creating a trial that eventually came together to make a DNA-like double helix behind the two of them.

The wyvern watched as death began knocking on his doors, making him finally close his eyes and open them again with a green-brown, and now, aqua blue color.

A three-colored barrier formed in front of it in a last-ditch attempt to save itself, yet I did not loom back at whatever it was doing since I was too busy running the hell away.

The last time I had tried the fire explosion spell, it had created a hole in the lake 500-meters in diameter. God knows what will happen when I try to combine both the azure flames and the blue flames together while also using dozens of times more mana than I had used the first time when testing out the spell on the lake.

When I had finally reached the distance of 2.1 miles away from the location of the after using all the combinations of spells that might make me go faster, I finally turned around as I felt a sense of danger loom over my head.

I instantly created a dozen golden barriers coated in electricity and earth as well as the light element, and the number of barriers was only increasing.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

A heaven-shaking sound came from the direction while a steam cloud visible from this distance protruded the height of clouds.

The dark clouds that once loomed over the entire area completely disappeared letting light finally fall onto the barren land that would probably not bear any vegetation for the coming years.

*SHATTER*

5 of my now 60 barriers shattered from the sound of the explosion alone, making my face go pale in the next instant.

'Oh shit!' That was my thought before a visible change in atmospheric pressure seemed to come closer and closer.

I forced myself into absorbing more mana, therefore, increasing the cracks on my body.

Several hundred barriers were created in the span of 10 seconds before taking another 25 seconds to reinforce the barriers around me to make them even thicker than they were before.

It only took a few more seconds for the shockwave to finally reach me while being followed by the sound of glass shattering almost instantly.

***

Several dozen miles away, a few minutes before the explosion.

"Hey, guildmaster? We can't find Lilith anywhere" A distressed voice spoke into a spherical crystal

"What do you mean you can't find Lilith?" an agitated voice came from the other side of the communication crystal

"I mean, she just disappeared! In the middle of the night, there is just this random alarm about beasts running out of the forest in tides yet they aren't attacking the city and are only avoiding it." The twin-tailed girl replied

"Okay? So what, Lilith is fighting with a strong beast?" The nonchalant yet annoyed voice came from the other side.

"Multiple beasts were in the archduke rank..."

Silence resounded between both of them for a few seconds before the woman on the other side said "Alright, I'll be there in 15 minutes".

This made the girl raise a brow, yet she chose to not question her guildmaster so she wouldn't get a beating later for being too stupid.

"Yes, Guildmast-"

*BOOM*

The sound of an explosion sounded from the distance making everyone look towards the direction it came from.

In an instant, everyone face turned pale and silence was the only thing that followed among the humans.

The explosion was powerful to the point even some beasts paused for a second to look at the direction of the sound before running off again.

"June? Are you there?" The voice of the guildmaster rose sounded in June's ears, yet she chose to ignore it.

All she felt she could do at the moment was mutter the words "Oh my god..."

A few seconds later, one of the warriors eventually pointed towards the mushroom cloud with a trembling finger and hints of fear in his voice.

"What is god's name... W-what in god's name is that..."

"Looks like the power of an emperor tier spell..." An older man with a much calmer voice spoke, yet his voice sent a shudder down everyone's spines.

'Emperor tier?' They all thought at the same time before glancing back at the explosion with even more fear in their eyes.

"Feels more like a Peak-King tier spell if you ask me. If it was an emperor tier spell, the explosion would be at least a few times larger than whatever the hell that is..." River voiced from the side, making many people feel even more uneasy than they were before.

If that is the power of a king tier spell, how would they be able to comprehend the amount of destruction an Emperor tier spells, or dare I say, the damage a Monarch tier spell would create.

On the other side of the call was Rose who had heard everything everyone in the crown had said so far. 

A frown appeared on her blood-stained face as slowly levitate atop the mountain created out of the corpses of more than a thousand bodies.

With the snap of her fingers, all the bodies had every single speck of blood completely drained from them before being consumed through the cellular-sized pores in her hands as if her hand was some kind of sponge for blood.

"I'll be right over..." She muttered and cut off her communication. The next instant, she flickered in completely disappeared.

{P.S - I will shout out to the top 3 people on the golden tickets leaderboards as well as the person who gave the most gifts at the end of the month}
