Chapter 598: [598] Hypocrite.(2)



"Vile...creature."

A celestial, different from the others of his fallen kin, stood alone in a field filled with their dead bodies, their blood having formed a river of harrowing stench, their limbs decorating it like dead fish rising to the surface.

The celestial possessed two pairs of wings, different from the lone pair possessed by the others. The celestial also looked to be of age. His appearance was like that of an old man, at least by human standards. He had a beard as old as time and hair as white as milk.

Aged wrinkles covered his face, evidence of the wisdom he had garnered during his life, but all of it couldn't help him now.

He was missing an arm, his cuirass was destroyed beyond recognition, his armor, once woven out of white silk as strong as steel, was reduced to rags.

He barely managed to stand, and could no longer use most of his abilities. He could not even lift his spear.

He had to admit, even though he hated every second of it. He had lost in terms of

spearmanship.

He could not compete with the being in front of him, His spear was lacking. His technique was not enough, it was not enough to vanquish the foe in front of him.

The foe in question, slowly looked at the surrounding slaughter, His eyes slowly gaining clarity. The celestial looked at him, wary, but using every second he could get to gain some respite, to get some breath back in his lungs.

The foe looked at the slaughter with widened eyes, which garnered a burning, piercing gaze from the celestial, but the foe did not care. He slumped down, and...vomited. The celestial...was flabbergasted.

"... What?"

No food or anything like that came out from Alan's already empty stomach, only acid. He lay down on the ground, his hands submerged in the rivers of blood.

The celestial, deemed it to be an attack, a poison of some sort. He had met his fair share of monsters that did something like that... But was confused when he realized that it was actually...harmless.

Surprised, he saw his lower body, covered in black ice. He couldn't break it, no matter what. He could also feel lanesha's mana in that ice.

"What the hell! Lanesha!"

He called out to her, but no response. He cursed when he realized he couldn't even teleport! He braced himself for the inevitable attack, thinking Lanesha wanted to test his endurance.

Soon, his view was filled with blinding golden light.

"Oh... Magnificent Divine fire..."

He could still hear the angelic voice of the Celestial though, a hint of regret once again surfaced in his heart, but it was quickly dismissed as the fire grew brighter, hotter.

He still felt cold though, perhaps due to the fact that entire lower body was frozen. He placed his hands in front of him, dismissing his spear. He didn't want to damage the Ame-No- Sakahoko, He used ice and his own scales to protect himself from whatever was coming.

"Burn."

The long verse, the oath of the Celestial finally ended, and so did his figure, his vessel exploded into bits of light, a smile carved onto his face as it became light. The divine fire raged forth, the small ball of light expanded into a miniature sun, The camp was ruined, and it was still as lively as ever. The rivers of scarlet below evaporated, becoming dried blood and one with the divine ball of fire.

It changed forms, becoming like a beam of light that surged up towards the skies, parting the clouds and bringing light into the lush, dark forest.

"Goddamn it, Lanesha!"

His voice was drowned by the roars of the fire, as it descended and blinded him, his figure was drowned in blinding light, and furious fire.

It became a dragon of its own, that flew through the skies and struck him, the intended

target.

It drowned him, consumed his figure.

And it did absolutely nothing to him.
