Chapter 663 Progenitor Versus Progenitor [Part 3]

Chapter 663 Progenitor Versus Progenitor [Part 3]

Everything around him was shaking terribly, but Ethan didn’t have the time to pay attention to it.

Not caring about anything else, he kept on digging and digging as fast as he could, for there were only five minutes left until his Other Half finished whatever he was doing.

Ethan often wondered how powerful Progenitors were.

When he was in the Celestial Domain, Queen Celestia was indeed powerful, but he knew that she was at his weakest at that time.

He didn’t know if the Tidebringer could be considered as a Colossi, and he also didn’t know how strong Sebastian’s master was.

The only ones whom he had the opportunity to fight were none other than the powerhouses of Eastshire.

They were indeed powerful.

Even his adopted father was powerful.

But that also made Ethan curious about how the strongest humans could compare to the strongest beings of the world.

Sometimes, Ethan would daydream about fighting against a Progenitor in order to better understand just how powerful they were.

But those battles were, in the end, a mere product of his imagination. Until he saw the real thing, he wouldn’t have something to compare to.

Now that wish had been granted, Ethan frankly felt that he was facing something that was way out of his league.

Suddenly, Ethan’s small claws hit the deepest part of the ground, making him pause.

‘I’ve reached the end,’ Ethan thought. ‘Am I safe here?’

But just as he was thinking along those lines, Sebastian shouted from within his sea of consciousness.

‘Dig to the right!’ Sebastian shouted.

Ethan did what he was told without asking the reason why. Right now, they were in a critical situation, and he didn’t have time to second guess Sebastian’s advice.

A few seconds after he started digging to his right, he sensed it.

Something big, fast, and dangerous was headed in his previous location.

“You’re notsss the only onesss who knowssss how to digsssss!” Erass’ hateful shout reached Ethan’s ears, forcing him to dig faster.

It was one of the most difficult magic to transcribe, and it needed more magical power to manifest.

Erass found himself unable to break free from the Rune Magic, which was a lost ancient magic only known by the oldest of Elves and Dragons.

Word was power, and Rune Magic was magic created from words.

It had a stronger and longer lasting effect than the other types of magic. Its only downside was that it needed time and many preparations to be effectively used in battle.

‘Fortunately, I’ve made thousands of them during my free time,’ Ethan thought as he watched the screeching Giant Rat, which had taken its physical form and was now bathed in wind, fire, and lightning.

“I’ll kill yousssss!” Erass shouted. “I’ll kill yousssss!”

The Pestilence Domain trembled as the ground cracked and rose up to the sky, merging with Erass.

‘This cheater!’ Sebastian cursed.

The Giant Rat’s size increased tenfold, making it thousands of meters tall.

It then used brute force to disperse Ethans’ tornado, and its yellow eyes filled with hatred locked in on Ethan’s body.

It was at that moment that something unexpected happened.

Ethan, who was in Raven form, suddenly lost the ability to fly.

No matter how hard he tried to flap his wings, he couldn’t maintain his flight.

His vision was also starting to blur, which greatly alarmed him.

“You really thinksss that your petty trickssss can stop my pestilencesss from infecting youssss?” Erass sneered. “Foolsss. From the very momentsss you arrived in this worldsss, you have already contracted my diseasessssss! It’s too late for you nowssss! Regret the fact thatsss you tried to defy me, mortalsssss!”

Ethan’s transformation faded away, reverting him to his human form.

His vision was now extremely blurry, and his breathing ragged.

‘I got infected at that time when I first breathed in the air in this domain,’ Ethan thought as his body became as heavy as lead.

Erass, who had already been irritated to the point of no return, no longer said anything and went for the kill.

The Giant Rat descended from the sky with its mouth opened wide to devour the young man, who had pushed it to the limit of its patience.
