Chapter 333: Thunder!

Chapter 333: Thunder!

What with those eyes?!

Who was the monster?!

Who was stronger among them?!

As an ant, you should tremble in fear when you see me!

Antares was a living nightmare, a force of terror that could not be stopped. In the past, it was the source of all fear, causing destruction at its whim. It believed itself to be, above all, delighting in the terror it inspired. But its hubris led to its undoing, as it was sealed by those cursed spirits.

Yet, even so, Antares holds on, thinking that it is time to escape and bring a calamity to the world once again.

As expected, the time came, but unlike in the past when the deities hadn't descended from heaven, the beings from the lower world gained a blessing to fight against their hardship and disasters.

They were strong, and they had changed and adapted to it, but even so, Antares was stronger, especially after it had devoured Artemis, gaining the power of the best huntress of heaven.

It was invincible!

It was the strongest!

It had become a perfect lifeform that no one could stop!

When people saw it, they could only tremble in fear, only praying that Antares didn't walk in their direction. They should have worshipped it, sacrificing their kindness so they could gain its kindness, letting them stay alive for another day!

This should be the case, yet why is Isao looking at him with that gaze?!

Why don't you fear me?!

As it thought so, Antares roared and used Artemis's power to send a divine arrow!

The gigantic bow of light was formed once again, pulling its string and aiming its arrow toward Isao's direction!

"!?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, huddled with fear, knowing that they would die!

"Use Orion, Isao! Use it!"

Knowing the fate that would come before them if Isao let Antares shoot that arrow, Artemis quickly begged him to shoot the Orion toward that abominable monster!

At this moment, she no longer felt hatred and indignant about having herself killed by Isao since she didn't want him to die!

Even if she died, it was all fine as long as Isao was alive, so she hoped that he would use the Orion!

Yet, unexpectedly, Isao had never intended to use this divine weapon at all in the beginning.

He had never thought of killing Artemis, and he wanted to save her!

"Isao!"

"Phalanx!"

Her screams were ignored as Isao used his strongest barrier ability.

At that moment, a gigantic multilayered barrier appeared before everyone, and the light from the bow in the sky illuminated it, causing it to have a beautiful rainbow-like color that reflected before everyone.

However, they didn't have time to appreciate it since Antares showed the bow.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!

Like a nuclear bomb, it dropped into the sky with a power that no one could imagine.

Death.

Lightning Manipulation.

This was the ability he gained from Touka, and along with the power of One For All, this ability was strengthened further.

At this moment, it might not be wrong to say he was a god of thunder.

Those who were his allies were relieved and felt they were saved, but his enemies would only tremble in fear due to his power.

His body was covered in thunder, shining brightly, as two dragonfly-like thunder wings emerged from his back.

"Frankly, there is no need for me to say anything to a monster like you since you might not even understand my words."

Isao stared at Antares, who stood hundreds of meters before him.

Yet, even if Antares had an advantage in height, in front of Isao, it felt like a puny creature.

Like before, it tried to roar, trying to intimidate, and gained its spirit to fight Isao, but unfortunately, it couldn't move, and its mouth clamped tight like a shellfish, engulfed in the feeling that it had never felt before.

Fear.

It quickly understood the feeling that it felt.

Antares was familiar with this feeling as it was a feeling that it loved to see from its prey, yet it had never expected that it would feel the same feeling that its prey had tasted.

Whether it was begging, crying, or praying, it was meaningless.

Antares knew that its destination was only death!

Yet, it wasn't stupid, and it knew that Isao tried to save Artemis, so it tried to threaten Isao by killing Artemis, but—

"When you get power, you should hide. Hide far away on the distant continent, and pray that you don't find me, but unfortunately, you are so stupid and even try to threaten me, so..."

His lungs expanded before he blew out the air he had inhaled. He placed his right hand on the hilt while his left hand was on the blade, ready to unsheathe his blade.

At the same time, he charged his sheathed blade with lightning, creating a powerful magnetic field around the blade and sheath.

Then—

Antares couldn't register what was happening, and it only saw Isao right in front of it, holding Artemis, who was clearly trapped within its chest.

How?

How did he do it?

How could he save her?!

Those questions kept ringing in his head, but unfortunately, no one could answer his questions since Antares knew that it died.

Antares's body was cut in half, and at the time, the aftereffects of Isao's technique spread everywhere.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!

The whole ruin was completely destroyed, and an abyss-like gash formed within the earth as everything evaporated from the plasma unleashed by his attack.

The lightning was still spreading everywhere, like millions of snakes that had just awoken from their slumber.

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

"Isao..."

Artemis, who was in his arms, opened her eyes softly as she looked at the figure she had been dreaming of.

"Welcome back."

Watching his gentle smile, Artemis hugged him tightly.
