Chapter 656  Do Gods feel fear?

No one moved a single muscle as they were overwhelmed by the force of Erste's sheer presence. Even the New Gods who were watching the show with playful smiles suddenly froze. At this moment it was as if time suddenly stopped flowing.

"HUH? Why did you stop attacking? Come on show me more, make me feel more!"

Erste shouted at the elemental spirits who were now in a state of confusion. He waited for a few more seconds but not a single attack came his way. He then looked at the elemental spirits in disappointment.

"What is this, why aren't you attacking me?!... Fine if you won't come to me, then I'll come to you."

Erste who was bleeding all over started walking forward. Each step he took made him travel a few meters forward, and every step he made increased his rising momentum, and alongside the rise of his momentum was the rise of his mana.

Feeling Erste's rising mana everyone present was stunned, it was already absurd that a human had mana but now it was rising as well.

Mana was one of the things human beings do not possess which was only available to the Gods. The ORIGIN who created everything created the humans hoping for a different kind of advancement compared to his first creations.

The ORIGIN was hoping that Humans beings won't go on the same path as his first creations, which is why he did not give Humans anything. Human Beings started out with nothing in the hopes that they could gain what they need with their own hands, this is one of the reasons Human Beings had this instinctive urge to keep on progressing.

...

As Erste was coming closer and closer to them the frightened Elemental Spirits still couldn't move from the shock and fear they were feeling. It was at that moment Erste arrived in front of the Elemental Spirit of Water who quickly used her strongest move.

The water in the air condensed and started to gather surrounding Erste putting him inside a giant ball made of water. The current of water was so strong and fast that normal people trapped inside would be unable to move a single muscle. If Erste continues to be trapped inside the giant ball made of water he would drown to death.

Even though Erste was already caught inside the Elemental Spirit of Water no longer let her guard down as she strengthen the flow of water within the orb. As she waited for Erste to de the so called strongest move of the Elemental Spirit of Water was suddenly cut clean in half. Despite the powerful water current Erste was still able to swing the weapon in his hand. The Elemental Spirit of Water was about to make another move when Erste's weapon was about to cut off her head.

The Elemental Spirit of Water quickly evaded the incoming slash but then she felt something hitting her from below. Erste who swung the weapon and missed used that momentum to hit the Elemental Spirit of Water with a powerful kick that blew the other party away.

"Come on, show me more! What are you people doing just staring at me, come and attack all of you together!"

Erste could not help but look at the surrounding Elemental Spirits with that vicious smile on his face. He wanted to learn more, he wanted to fight more, he wanted to feel even more alive.

Erste did not wait for the surrounding Elemental Spirits' response as he appeared before the nearest Elemental Spirit and swung the weapon in his hands aimed at the head.

Unlike Erste's first few slashes which were obviously done by a beginner this time, Erste's slashing motion became faster and sharper. Even though his stance was unorthodox and his way of slashing was weird it had the feel of a slash initiated by someone well-versed in swordplay.

Erste who had never fought before today nor had held any kind of weapon was improving at an incredible rate. Even though the way he fights could only be called wild, it still had some refinement like a master. Still, unlike other masters of the fighting arts, the way Erste moves is less on precision in hitting at the best moment in the best spot and more on the philosophy of how can I hit my enemy no matter what.

The Elemental Spirit of Wind was surprised by the sudden attack and was barely able to avoid the strike. Despite being an elemental body the weapon in Erste's hand was able to slice through her body and was unable to regenerate the part that was sliced.

the weapon that could harm Gods. The Elemental Spirit of Wind wasn't able to do anything at all before she disappeared into The Elemental Spirit of Wind wanted to get further away from Erste but before she could back away Erste's hand filled with mana grab hold of her head. This was rather surprising as someone who had no mana before was actually able to understand that to touch the Elemental body you need to coat your body with mana, which is what Erste did to his left hand holding the Elemental Spirit's head.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Erste slammed the head of the Elemental Spirit of Wind onto the ground, and then before she could recover Erste stabbed her with the weapon that could harm Gods. The Elemental Spirit of Wind wasn't able to do anything at all before she disappeared into nothingness.

Upon witnessing the death of their peer the other Elemental Spirits became desperate and now started attacking Erste. Unfortunately for them, the current Erste already understood that no matter what kind of attack the Spirits use as long as it was not a physical attack he could cut through their mana-based attacks without any difficulty.

Even though Erste's current mana was continuing to rise he was still nowhere near the mana possessed by the Elemental Spirits. Usually, the disparity in mana would mean the Elemental Spirits would crush Erste, but with the weapon in Erste's hands, Victory and defeat became uncertain.

The Elemental Spirits did their best but no matter what kind of attack they made it was cut in half by Erste's weapon. In the process of evading and attacking, Erste's fighting form was slowly taking shape into something frightening.

It didn't take long for Erste to destroy the Elemental Spirits that had surrounded him until only one was left. It was an Elemental Spirit of Water that was now underneath Erste's foot and beside her neck was the weapon that could kill her.

"Tell me what are you feeling right now," Erste asked truly curious, but to the Elemental Spirit, it was like he was mocking her.

"..."

"If you don't start talking then there's no point in keeping you alive." As the blade of the weapon got closer the Elemental Spirit of Water panicked and screamed.

"FEAR! What I'm feeling now is indescribable fear!" Erste looked at the Elemental Spirit of Water and nodded his head.

"Oh, is that what it's called? I wonder if they too feel fear." Erste no longer had any questions for the Elemental Spirit so he killed her. Erste then looked at the New Gods who were watching the show and spoke loud enough for them to hear.

"I wonder do Gods feel fear?"
