"Master, are you sure you want to face four divine beasts at the same time? Even if they are weak, they remain divine beasts!" Sylvia tried to deter Alvine, and make him abandon the crazy challenge he was about to reveal.
"Don't worry, it's not like I'm going to die."
"Kuku, if you think you're going to be saved by someone if you fail then let me tell you that...
"Close it. At no time did I have thought about this idea. You can now recharge my dark energy if you can." Before Dalvine continued his words, Alvine stopped him in his sentence.
There were currently five people in the room after the meeting. Namely, Alvine, Sabrina, Sylvia, Dalvine, and Liliana.
The troops of the Ice Elves and Kelspies have already withdrawn to the battlefield after Alvine's announcement that they no longer had anything to do on the battlefield. But even with that, the king of the Kelspies and Tugra had insisted to remained there.
Alvine had agreed to take up Dalvine's challenge but nevertheless, he had also affirmed some additional conditions; Dalvine will wait for him to restore his dark energy. But he had accepted Alvine's condition only if Alvine did not use his shadow soldiers to help him fight against divine beasts. Even the fictional soul of Alvine did not have the right to help him in the battle.
Alvine had accepted Dalvine's conditions without the slightest hesitation. After all, he had his own plans to personally take care of these divine beasts.
But to his great surprise, instead of giving him time to let its dark energy recharge itself, Dalvine had volunteered to help him recharge its shadow mana 100%.
"It's no problem for me to recharge your dark energy, but you have to give me another envelope, this clone has almost reached its limits," Dalvine asked.
"You just have to do it yourself. Aren't you still going to tell me that you're not able to create a clone for yourself?" Alvine replied with a frown.
But at the same time, Sabrina spoke under her mask. "I think it would be wiser for you to accept this request. According to his power, if he tries to create a clone he will own, he will probably have to use an amount of astronomical energy that will not be without consequences for this planet and the people who live there."
"..."
'Even Sabrina seems to admit that he is strong. This guy... - Alvine murmured these words for himself and nodded without further delay.
He directly canceled the effects of his cloning skill and made another clone after about ten seconds.
The clone looked the same as before with its curly white hair and light golden eyes.
But it had an empty look in its eyes and an inexpressive expression; a soulless clone.
This short moment of peace had lasted only a second before the clone's eyes turned blood red and then regained their light golden glow.
Dalvine stretched his muscles and his smile, which had never left her face for more than a minute in a row resurfaced. "Hah~ even if it's a garbage skill, it's still a little useful." He said in a sarcastic tone.
"If you're done ridiculing me, can you now do your job?" Alvine made a slight grimace and ordered him with this question.
"Very well, very well, I'm just telling the truth; no need to get upset about it." He replied nonchalantly and approached Alvine.
While the others were ready to intervene at any time, Dalvine nonchalantly put his hand on Alvine's shoulder and closed his eyes.
-Instantly...
Alvine's eyes turned jet black and his body greedily absorbed the mysterious energy he received to feed his cells, nerves, muscles, bones, and pulpit.
After about a minute, Alvine had a satisfying smile when he felt like someone who had just risen from the dead.
"Finally, I can say that even if you broke balls, you also have useful skills."
*Tsk - can't you just make compliments just for once?" Dalvine slammed his tongue but he looked nonchalant.
"Heh, no need to get angry if you can. I'm just telling the truth." Alvine replied the same words to him as he said a minute ago.
"In short, I'm ready for battle." He said with a mocking smile.
"Kuku, it seems that your opponents have just arrived too. Struggle like a little fish trying to escape from a shark, and Amuses me more much as possible before suffering an overwhelming defeat." Dalvine, who did not need to concentrate to do a long-range scan with his perception; revealed this information with a salacious smile.
"Tsk, I'm sorry to tell you that but you might be disappointed."
Alvine had only one idea in his head, it was to come out victorious in the duel by inflicting on the beasts, an overwhelming defeat!
Just with these last exchanges, the two headed at full speed towards the forest, followed by a few curious spectators. The king of the Kelspies and his wife, Tugra and his wife, and finally, Liliana and her three advisors, Sabrina and Sylvia.
...
After about ten minutes of non-stop flying, they arrived at their destinations.
Interestingly, City dwellers like Tugra and others who could not use gravitational magic were helped by Sylvia.
"But who is this old man?" Alvine wondered with a frown, feeling the dangerous but familiar presence emanating from him.
But no matter how much he searched his memories, he could not remember meeting a person with such a strange appearance who was wearing strange clothes.
-Maybe I'm getting ideas?
But before he could no longer think, Alvinos turned into black smoke and appeared in front of Alvine at a speed faster than a blink of an eye! "My greetings to the Lord." He said, bowing slightly in front of him.
"You are...
"Yes, I invoked it to deal with a banal case," Dalvine responds nonchalantly without sparing them a look.
"So you can invoke people from the dimension?" Alvine murmured these words for himself.
"Kuku, have you forgotten my identity?"
"In short, I now understand why the divine beasts agreed to come here obediently. - With this conclusion, he went down to the ground in front of the four divine beasts, the smallest of which was at least twice as large as a ten-wheeled trailer.
"Your survival depends on only one person. Kill this person in front of you and you will be free." Dalvine shouted in the sky, amplifying his voice with magic.
The remaining four generals looked around them with suspicion to look for the said person they were supposed to face. It was not that they did not see Alvine in front of them, but they were sure that the target to be shot was not him; after all, he was a holy mage!
"Kuku, why are you looking for someone standing in front of you?" Dalvine shook his head with an ironic air when he saw his disciple being more ridiculed than he had expected.
Then,
The winged royal python looked below him to observe Alvine with these predatory green eyes.
-Whistle, whistle
"Ssss~ is this little piece of meat that is our enemy? Ssss~ even if you want to ridicule us, there must still be a limit, right? Sixth, who is this...thing?" The Royal Python was the second general, also the most powerful among the generals after Balzak, the first general who is the Wyvern who was killed by Dalvine.
"He is... he is the leader of our enemies, Mr. Dalvine." The sixth stammered by giving this answer.
"What?! Sss~ Why do you address him with a silly title? In short, I guess I have no choice." As soon as he spoke these words, his eyes shone with malice.
His green pupils began to bring out a hypnotic green glow.
-Ugh!
Even if Alvine did not have his system to warn him, he knew he had just suffered a spell of movement obstruction.
"Sss~ he is no longer able to move now, sixth, kill this weak creature that we finish quickly. I have neither the desire nor the courage to face the other frightening dragon who brought us here." The winged royal python sniffed disdain for Alvine who was now unable to move.
The power that allowed the winged royal Python to maintain its position as the second general for several centuries is because its powers that were out of the ordinary. The debuffs, the curse, the fortification of his attributes in exchange for the opposite effect for his target, etc.; his attacks were purely spiritual!
Alvine's heart beat fiercely in his chest like a drum from the moment he had suffered the spiritual attack of the python. Then, as if nothing had happened, he regained control of his body!
'It is surely thanks to my passive skill [Heart of the evil god]' he said without changing his expression and took this opportunity to watch for a surprise attack.
The sixth, who had absolute confidence in the skills of the second general, soon transformed into a humanoid silhouette to focus on speed and rushed at lightning speed towards Alvine with his sharp claws towards Alvine's neck.
As for Alvine, he patiently waited for the sixth general with an internal smile that slightly curved the corners of his lips.
-Shiirk!
As soon as the bestial claws of the sixth were one inch away from reaching his gorge, a white sword covered with black flames appeared in his hand heading towards the sixth’s neck after tilting his head to the left to avoid the sixth's deadly attack; he instantly counterattacked with his fastest speed!
-Wooosh!!
His primordial sword whose blade had no equal properly decapitated the head of the sixth!
"!!!"
"!!!"
While the other divine beasts had unbelieving looks, Alvine's monotonous voice resounded again. - Well, to the next one!
He said with cold eyes that did not contain the slightest emotion that a human was supposed to have.
But soon, he was surprised beyond the reasoning when he saw the decapitated head of the sixth rolling towards his body and connecting to his neck!
"What is this devil?! - He murmured with disbelief as he looked at his sword. If there were not the black flame that always surrounded the sixth’s neck, He would even doubt whether he had really beheaded this beast or not.
"Bhahaha, you can slash me, cut me into a thousand pieces, I will always regenerate. This is my unique skill of which I am the only one to possess it!" The sixth laughed loudly with salacious eyes.
But his joy was only short-lived when he noticed painful crackles on his neck.
"!!!" He was terrified when he saw his hand covered with a black flame just after checking his neck by touching it with his hand.
Smirk...
"I ask, who's the turn?" Alvine had a satisfying smile when he saw the effects of the gehenna flames at work, for the first time.
"Cut yourself into small pieces and regenerate yourself? Even if you are the kind of opponents more boring for others, my flames will be the farewell gift I would give you for eternity!" He continued by snapping his fingers.
-Then,
The flames became enraged and began to swallow the body of the sixth as if the body of the sixth were covered with oil.
-Arghhhhh!!!
'Happy trip to hell!'
