Chapter 917 The Bizarre Vylkr Artefact (2)
Orion and Stronghold Leader Zogar tensed as the Vylkr artefact shifted its attention toward them.
'What is this?' Orion thought to himself, a deep frown appearing on his face.
He knew from the beginning that obtaining the Vylkr artefact would be challenging. However, he had never expected that they would have to fight or possibly even kidnap it. He didn't even know if he could consider it a Vylkr artefact.
Suddenly, the humanoid Vylkr artefact disappeared from its position and reappeared before Stronghold Leader Zogar, its fist aimed at his head.
Stronghold Leader Zogar solemnly strengthened his barrier, not wanting to take any chances as the humanoid Vylkr artefact's fist landed on his lightning barrier.
WHOOSSH!!
BANNGG!!
The air split and shockwaves emerged and spread across the sky as though a hammer had struck against the heavens.
"That's strong," Stronghold Leader Zogar muttered as he observed the Vylkr artefact.
Although he was surprised by its astonishing strength, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he witnessed that he could effortlessly withstand its blows.
Seeing that its initial attack had no effect, the Vylkr artefact withdrew its fist before exploding again, sending rapid punches toward the lightning barrier.
BANNGG!! BANGG!!! WHOOSSHH!!!
BANNGG!! BANGG!!! WHOOSSHH!!!
Each fist carried an immense, overwhelming force that reverberated through the heavens.
WHOOSSSHH!!! BOOOMMM!!!
The humanoid Vylkr artefact remained fixed in its position, seemingly bewildered by the sudden disappearance of its foe.
CRACCCKLLEEE!!! CRACCCKLLEEE!!!
Suddenly, countless streaks of fierce bluish lightning converged back into Orion's lightning form behind the humanoid Vylkr artefact. Without hesitation, Orion summoned the Crimson Greatsword from its small crimson greatsword mark, coating it in his bluish lightning to counter the humanoid Vylkr artefact's attempts to absorb divine energy.
Then, he swung the sword downward with a swift, precise motion.
Before the humanoid Vylkr artefact could comprehend what was happening, Orion was already behind it. The lightning-
coated Crimson Greatsword, known for its ability to cut through anything, demonstrated its power again, slicing through the artefact from its shoulders down to its lower back.
As the sword cut, the intense bluish lightning surged through its body, electrocuting it from within.
Within its divided body was a material that appeared to blend dark, shimmering, and translucent, ever-shifting substances. The humanoid Vylkr artefact remained motionless in its position, seemingly unsure about which actions to take next.
Meanwhile, witnessing this scene from the other side, Stronghold Leader Zogar was momentarily astounded by how Orion had quickly incapacitated the humanoid Vylkr artefact with strength and endurance comparable to a five-star warrior.
Then, he burst into laughter, his voice booming across the heavens with faint crackles of lightning and thunder as though a particular god of lightning had descended, proudly defending his mountain against an adversary.
Yes! How could he have forgotten that Orion was not just the new Village chief but also the youngest warrior with the prowess of a Four-star warrior despite being only a two-star warrior? He was a friend of a god who sacrificed himself to protect them and was responsible for the village's rapid growth and development into a new civilisation that he didn't even think was possible. And not only that, but he had achieved all of this only at 20 years old!
Forget about being surprised that Orion had effortlessly incapacitated the Vylkr artefact; it would have been even more surprising if he hadn't become seriously injured. Orion was an absurdity that defied all common sense. As such, any other absurdity that encountered him would be like an absurdity facing an absurdity itself.
Noticing that the humanoid Vylkr artefact was suddenly healing rapidly, Stronghold Leader Zogar's laughter slowly died.
"CHIEF!! LET'S FINISH THIS AND SUBDUE THIS VYLKR ARTEFACT!!" Stronghold Leader Zogar yelled, his resounding voice echoing across the atmosphere, reaching Orion and causing the sky to tremble.
