Chapter 3192 Nightmarish Creature (Part 2)
"Try to escape this!" Orpal roared.
"With pleasure!" Derek laughed as his chest and armor turned into a puddle of black metal.
Before Orpal could react, the Void merged back with his lower half and lunged at the Dead King with Ragnarök.
It took Night every ounce of her considerable skill to deflect the much heavier blade out of the line of impact and counterattack but she succeeded.
Night aimed at the Void's right arm wielding Ragnarök, dispelling the darkness of which it was made and sending the angry blade flying. T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
Derek shrugged off the pain and answered with a solid left punch to the gut that pierced through Orpal's guts and knocked him off Moonlight's back.
"Cut me. Smash me. Blast me into smithereens." The Void said while pulling Orpal close to look him in the eyes while Abomination Touch sucked the Dead King dry. "It doesn't work, brother."
The energy stolen from the mana geyser, Orpal's life force and his equipment had already restored Derek's missing arm and repaired his armor. Ragnarök flew back into his hand, ready to strike.
Yet what hurt the Dead King the most was the word "brother".
'Leech never called me like that, not even to mock me. He used my name only in the presence of our parents otherwise he wouldn't talk to me at all.' Orpal thought.
'So what?' Night asked while blocking the flurry of blade strikes in his stead.
'So Leech really has lost his memory and this is not him. This fight is pointless!' Orpal hurled a jet stream of bright blue Origin Flames, throwing the Void off guard. 'I wanted to humiliate Leech. To make him beg for mercy but this thing is not him!'
Ridden of his anger, inferiority complex, and desire to prove Lith his superiority, the Dead King regained his focus. He turned back into the warrior into whom Night had molded.
The mage who had managed to kill Mirim Distar and even Krishna Manohar, the god of healing. Meln Narchat wasn't a twelve year old boy throwing a tantrum anymore but a ruthless killer.
Even by activating all the elemental crystals on the Voidwalker armor, he still lacked the power to resist. His armor shattered and his body was scattered in a thin black mist.
Even Ragnarök broke into countless pieces, but instead of resisting the tide, the cursed blade rode it to escape its area of effect as fast as possible.
Freed from the Abomination's body, Thorne returned to its master who grimaced at the spear's pitiful condition.
'Leech, no, the Abomination sucked all the Life Maelstrom out of Thorn, and its Davross is so worn out that it's not better than Adamant.' Orpal infused the spear with his mana to haste its recovery while also recalling Moonlight. 'This isn't an opponent I can defeat myself.'
'Agreed.' Night stared at the form of the Void reassembling itself like a monster from a nightmare. 'With the sun, the mana geyser, and so many people, we need to hit fast and strong.'
Doom Tide was supposed to deplete the world energy in its surroundings for a while but with the constant flow erupting from the geyser, the effect didn't last more than a few seconds.
"As I told you, destroying my body it's not enough to kill me, brother." Derek laughed as he fed upon the victims of Orpal's latest attack. "I can go on like this all day. Can you?"
"He can't." Orpal's muscular body shapeshifted into a supple, feminine frame. "But I can."
'What do we do now?' Orpal asked.
'First, we put an end to the all-you-can-eat buffet.' Night galloped at the Void as the Voidwalker armor and Ragnarök repaired themselves at the cost of their durability.
Davross could recover from any damage, but just like Thorn, the regeneration process temporarily weakened the mystical metal. Only time would restore Davross to its original might.
Derek had a hard time fighting his conflicting instincts.
On the one hand, the Horseman was bursting with delicious mana, appearing to his Abomination hunger like a prime rib. Also, there was something in the man called Poopie that brought the worst out of Derek.
He was quite sure to have never met such an arrogant fool before but he still wanted to see him cry and suffer.
On the other hand, Derek still had the instincts of a normal man, and standing in the path of a charging horse sounded like a very bad idea.
"Dodge!" Ragnarök's advice broke the stalemate.
