Chapter 42: Tyrant

Chapter 42: Tyrant

Capital, Alieus Kingdom, Northern Continent.

Aucuces said. "I can't say the same for you though; it appears you're still the same musclehead like you were back then." He had a mocking smile, while speaking.

As if enraged by his remarks, the lightning in the dark clouds began flashing at a rapid rate.

Boom!

Then, a bolt of lightning roared out of the dark clouds at Aucuces, carrying the power to destroy the very earth itself, while lighting up the surroundings.

As his expression became solemn, Badhiel took his sword, which was bathed in twilight.

He really shouldn't have expected much from them; given their personalities, this should have been completely predictable.

However, he raised his brows in surprise, when he saw, Aucuces just stood there in the sky, surrounded by the brilliance of sun, without making any move, despite the lightning coming at him.

Aucuces smiled as he looked at the lightning, which possessed the power of a planet. He didn't do anything except stare at the lightning as if he knew nothing was going to happen.

The lightning suddenly brightened, when it was not far from him and a figure morphed out of the light.

Immediately, a tyrannical aura swept unrestrainedly, even angels gathering in the headquarters far away, felt absolute oppression on their body and soul. Many even fainted and knelt under this aura.

A dignified man with blue hair and stormy eyes appeared in front of him. He was dressed in black armour, as if he'd arrived prepared to fight. The blue cloak of his armour swayed in the strong winds.

He held a blue trident encrusted with lightning in his hands.

Lord of Storms, Leodero!

Contrarily, Leodero did not attack immediately, after appearing.

"It appeared that not everything had changed. You're still as sharp-tongued as you were back then."

His voice thundered across the sky as he spoke majestically.

"Oh." Aucuces stated exaggeratedly. "If I am a sharp-tongued? Then, into which category will you fall..."

Leodero's eyes started to glow blue, with lightning streaks erupting from the edges. He was floated in the vast expanse of black clouds, with blue lightning flashing across it. His trident was also completely illuminated by lightning.

Aucuces' eyes began to completely glow with light, and his casual suit burned away as golden flames swept across his body, revealing white armour beneath. He was standing in a light-filled sky, and pure light began to gather in the tip of his white spear.

Everything suddenly calmed down, literally all of it went quiet. The calm didn't last long, and just like after the calm before the storm, it broke in a spectacular way, with the entire sky around the world lighting up at the same time in a mix of golden and blue hues.

"AUCUCES!" Leodero exclaimed with excitement as he moved at breakneck speed towards Aucuces, literally transforming into blue lightning.

"LEODERO!" Aucuces also shouted with a grin, feeling long-lost excitement rekindle in his heart at the moment. He knew what was causing this; it was the thrill of battle, just pure fighting without worrying about anything.

He also found it amusing that they were re-enacting the famous naruto scene to some extent.

Aucuces dashed towards Leodero, erupting in a blaze of pure light, transforming into a beam of light.

At the same time, Badhiel, who was standing nearby in the sky, inserted his sword into the very space itself, then twilight erupted, mixing with golden and blue hues, forming a strange curtain that draped over the entire battlefield.

Lilith appeared and stood not far from Badhiel, with a sigh, as she saw the situation, then various plants and trees grew on the very curtain, forming another layer over the curtain.

The curtain, combined with the power of all four gods, completely prevented the battle from affecting the outside world.

Boom!

The reality completely collapsed in their path, as the beam of pure light and blue lightning dashed towards each other.

The light in the battlefield became blinding, as even Badhiel and Lilith were forced to close their eyes.

Just then, in the middle of the battlefield, a crimson moon rose up like a scene from the apocalypse, followed by an illusory white tower brimming with an aura of insanity and destruction.

The crimson moon and white tower emitted a terrifying aura, causing pure beam of light and blue lightning to freeze in their path.

The light beam collapsed into the figure of Aucuces, as the hands of a divine woman tightly pressed on his shoulder, holding him down, while also hovering behind him.

The crimson moon hung behind the woman like a divine halo; she wore a long black gown adorned with countless resplendent lights.

Evernight Goddess, Amanises!
