Chapter 221: So.. What Is Going On Here?

.....

"Don't you think you should just give up, City Lord of RiverBloom?? You have already betrayed your race in an attempt to find a cure for that wife of yours! Just go ahead and die, so you can join her in the afterlife when she dies! I will even allow you to greet her at the gates to hell!"

WAAA!

Following the cynical words of the basilisk was the subsequent release of a murky gray energy!

"You Bastard!!! Don't talk about my wife like that, you fucking worm!!!" The City Lord bellowed with a completely enraged look on his face!

An equally potent aura was unleashed from the City Lord as he stared the eight thousand-meter-long basilisk down with a ferocious glint in his eyes!

"Die, You Fucking Shit Worm!!!" He thundered with deep hatred in his voice!

He had done everything this basilisk had asked of him and followed every step of the 'plan' to a T. There was not a part he didn't follow up with the most perfect execution.

And yet

And yet!!!

This Fucking Worm! This Fucking Worm reneged on their agreement just like that!!!

All he wanted was a cure for his wife. All he wanted was for her to get better

He didn't care that he had to betray the human race to acquire such a cure. He didn't care!

'Who am I kidding?? Everything I did my entire life was for the continued development of the human race. I would've given my life to the human race if necessary'

His thoughts went through tumultuous times with a melancholic look on his expression. However, that countenance soon morphed into extreme anger!

'And yet I betrayed them! I betrayed my brother's, I betrayed my family, and I betrayed everyone I knew!! I 'killed' everyone in this city... It wasn't this worm, it was me!'

His greatest hatred wasn't for the colossal basilisk, no! It was for himself!

He had even betrayed the very woman he wanted to save! He betrayed his Ariana...

She loved this city, and now look at it!!!

...

"Aaahhhh, Pl-Please save me!!"

"Arghh!!! Not my wife, please!!!"

BOOOM!

Following his imperious words was the silent enunciation of a signature skill of his race.

|Sinister Sibilance!|

A deadly gray energy enveloped the entire airspace overlooking the City of RiverBloom before it condensed and transformed into a twenty thousand-meter-wide gray dragon!

"Tell me how your wife treats you in the afterlife after I eat her in one bite, Eldric!!"

His sardonic, serpentine voice was followed by him bringing the dark gray dragon down to the earth below! A dragon so large that it blotted out the skies! A dragon like that was looking to consume Alder's entire existence in one bite!

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!!"

That was the only response the basilisk got in return for using his ultimate attack.

"Tsk! Just die, you vermin! I still have to make it to a certain gathering of the rulers in a while! You are just a pebble I had to clean up on the way over!!"

The Basilisk didn't even bother to check the result of his Trump card being unleashed as he turned his grandiose back on the City Lord.

"I WILL KILL YOU!!!"

The City Lord thundered out as he gathered up every ounce of strength he had! His life force began to be burned up without a second of hesitation, as he was willing to put everything on the line just to wipe that fucking smirk off his face!!

"Impudent! I would grill you and torture you for years on end if this were under any other circumstance!! However, you have lucked out this time due to those bastards setting up a meeting!"

The Basilisk turned his eyes behind him as he spoke those words; however, something completely unexpected occurred in his vision

WHOOSH!

A strong wind blew in, and a tall man with a sunsettish-colored robe and a fox mask on appeared in the middle of their ultimate attacks.

"So, what is going on here? And why is there an annoying dragon up there?" This unknown man asked with a placated expression.

His inexpressive voice was followed by him lifting his black and gold katana.

Before he let it down,

SLASH!

WHOOOOM!!

The clouds were split apart from his simple stroke as everything in a five hundred-mile radius was cleared up!

The dark gray dragon and the buildup of the City Lord's energies were both dispersed as if they were never there to begin with!
