Chapter 337: Arcane Arbitration Arc

....

Regardless of what the system did or didn't know, it didn't take long before an appropriate skill was created and named.

A bright light flashed in front of Azmond.

BLING!

*Ding!* *New Skill Created!*

[Peak-Earth Skill: Arcane Arbitration Arc] [Due to insufficient comprehension in Laws, the Ability will be limited in Skill Rank. [To advance the rank of the skill, advance your comprehension of the Laws.]]

"..." Following his scrutiny of the system notifications, he looked at the myriad of colors emitting off his blade.

OOOM!

There were red, blue, green, yellow, purple, black, red, and just about every other color of energy tendril fluctuating on his blade.

He gazed at his katana for a moment before he turned his eyes up to the plummeting foot.

His gaze hardened as he pulled back his katana before slashing upward at a speed unrecognizable to the human eye!

SLASH!

An energy arc was released in a vertical shape, heading straight for the giant demon-like Zargoroth's hoove.

"!?!?!?" Zargoroth was still trying to comprehend what was happening, but he didn't even get the chance before...

SLICE!

His large city-sized hoove was sliced off his leg!

*SPURT!*

A fountain of dark red blood dyed the already red land even redder!

"Aarghhhh!?" Zargoroth roared out with an anguished look on his face.

BOOOOOM!

Half of his left leg was cut off from the rest of his leg as it fell to the ground with a loud explosion!

His vision was turning as he started falling to the ground due to the lack of one of his legs; however, before he could fall all the way, he was able to use his Qi to make up for the loss.

'All I have to do is kill this bug and wait for the leg to grow back!!' He thought.

He cracked the earth below him as he leaped up into the sky!

His small, country-sized figure immediately made it past the layers of the atmosphere, as he found himself at the border between the world of Asterion and the starry sky beyond.

Zargoroth looked down from over 100,000 miles in the air as he attempted to find the dust-like figure of the human.

"There you are!!!" He snarled.

Following his finding of the human, fiendish energy started to build up around his horns as he pointed them toward the earth below.

"Let's see how you like being roasted alive along with all those you love!!!" He roared out with a demented look on his face.

RUMBLE!!!

The area of space above Asterion started to crack and break apart upon the buildup of energy between Zargoroth's horns!

And it took no longer than a couple milliseconds before he silently enunciated:

|Annihilation Beam|!

CRACK! CRACK!

Following his words, the air above Asterion collapsed in on itself!

OOOOM!

The energy above his horns materialized into a sphere of energy thousands of miles in length before it shot out at levels surpassing light speed!

"DIE!!!"

***

Meanwhile, on the Twentieth Step of the Luminous Grounds, Azmond, along with Calista, Boundless, Emu, Clawdia, and the monsterkin in the black sphere, looked at where Zargoroth had disappeared.

And it wasn't long after that that the hoarse and scratchy voice of Clawdia sounded out.

"Y-You must run! Ta-Take my sister and run!" She screamed out.

However, her voice wasn't able to make it to Azmond.

*Drip Drip*

More blood dripped down her lips and hands as she clenched them till the whites were seen.

"P-Please take her and get away from here" She cried out with teary eyes.
