Chapter 202 - 47
Kalya and everyone on the island was terrified after the giant monster\'s appearance. The barrier that Ziel created for them was instantly shattered when the beast appeared. They trembled and had trouble breathing just by looking at the monster. The girls lost their strength, and they fell to their knees.
"What kind of creature is that!? I had no idea there was such a creature in this world!" Princess Cordelia screamed frantically. She couldn\'t think calmly after the monster appeared and kept trembling with fear. The same thing happened to Kalya and the girls who knew Ziel\'s identity. Even though they had seen Ziel fighting powerful enemies and monsters, they had never felt such a terrifying aura that possessed such overwhelming pressure as the monster in front of them right now.
No one can answer Princess Cordelia\'s question. Kalya and the other girls were busy defending themselves from the pressure that the monster emitted. Their faces were filled with fear and worry about Ziel\'s situation right now.
Kalya remembers Ziel\'s fight against the Imperial Dragon in the Elven Kingdom. At that time, Ziel fought with all his strength and finally won. However, he was severely injured at the end of the fight and lost consciousness. Kalya didn\'t want Ziel to fight like that again.
"I hope you\'re all right, Ziel." Kalya put her hands in front of her chest and sincerely wished for Ziel\'s safety. She did it unconsciously because of the worry in her heart. Kalya\'s voice was loud enough for the girls around her to hear, including Clara and the girls who didn\'t know their relationship. But she didn\'t care about the girls\' stares at all.
Although Clara was confused by Kalya\'s words, she quickly forgot because the most crucial thing was Ziel\'s current state. From the reactions of Princess Freya and Princess Iris, who keep trembling, she knew that Ziel\'s opponent was very dangerous. She also prayed in her heart that Ziel could return safely.
At the same time elsewhere, it wasn\'t just the girls who were frightened. Fornius felt the same way as them.
"Aghares! What have you done!? Don\'t you know that these creatures are dangerous and uncontrollable!? Even Miss Azalia can\'t control that monster! Do you want us to die!?" Fornius screamed in terror after seeing Aghares releasing a Space Beast into that place. He had not expected that when Aghares said he would fight to the death, he would release such a terrifying monster. Even Fornius, with high self-esteem, did not dare to fight the beast.
"We have to kill him at all costs. That man is dangerous for Miss Azalia. We must eliminate him right here and now, even if our lives are at stake!" Aghares said with determination. He had intended to die together with Ziel when he released the monster.
"But, isn\'t that too much? If that creature was released, wouldn\'t this continent also be destroyed? We too will perish together with the humans on this continent." Fornius said in a gloomy tone. Even though he wasn\'t afraid of death, if he had to choose between dying in the fight against Ziel or dying against that monster, he would confidently choose the former. He had fought that monster once, and its power was truly terrifying.
"Calm down. Only its head could come out at this point. The seal that restrained the monster is still active, so you don\'t have to worry." Aghares calmly responded to Fornius\' words.
It was a Space Beast captured by Azael and the people of the Divine Race hundreds of years ago and sealed in a specific space. The monster would be used as a trump card against their enemies at that time. But Azael died and didn\'t have time to use it. The next person holding the key to unlocking the seal was Azalia. She gave it to Aghares as a last resort if he encountered an enemy he could not defeat.
"Okay. I trust you. We better get out of here and let the monster fight him. We can\'t control that monster, so it\'s better if we don\'t join the fight. Otherwise, it might attack us too." Fornius was forced to believe the words of Aghares even though he still had doubts in his mind.
"That was my plan from the start. We\'ll go and report this to…" Suddenly Aghares\' face condensed. He tried to teleport but couldn\'t. He also couldn\'t move his whole body.
"Aghares! What has happened!?" Fornius also felt something strange in his body.
[Time and Space Prison]
Fornius and Aghares were hit by a skill once used by the Nine-headed Imperial Dragon against Ziel in the Elven Kingdom. It was a combination of gold and silver dragon heads. Ziel\'s eyes turned silver, and the spirit circle floating behind his back moved. Ziel still can\'t use two imperial dragon abilities at the same time. So he used the time ability of his spirit circle and combined it with the imperial dragon\'s spatial ability.
"You will stay here as long as I face that monster. Don\'t even think about running away after you summoned such a creature to this continent." Ziel said coldly to Fornius and Aghares. He intended to kill the two of them after defeating the Space Beast that had appeared. Ziel doesn\'t want to let someone who could harm Clara and the girls around her escape without taking responsibility.
"You! Release us, you lowly humans! Do you think that because you\'ve been able to defeat us, you can fight a creature like that!? You must be dreaming and only seeking your death!" Fornius is trying to escape from the space and time prison. Ziel deliberately didn\'t seal them off completely. They can still think and talk because they are needed to attract the monster\'s attention.
Ziel disappeared and reappeared where Fornius and Aghares were. He pointed one finger at the Space Beast in the sky.
[Dragonic Cannon]
The aurora laser beam shot through space and hit the monster right in the forehead. The Space Beast averted its gaze upon realizing that something had attacked it. Then the beast roared in a sound that shook the atmosphere in the area.
Rooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrr!
Ziel quickly disappeared and avoided the monster\'s sight. Even though his attack hit the Space Beast, Ziel knew that his attack did not affect the monster. Maybe Ziel\'s attack is the same as being bitten by a mosquito for that creature.
The Space Beast\'s eyes looked to Fornius and Aghares. The monster thought they had attacked him before and looked at Fornius and Aghares with hostility.
"You bastard! Do you want to use us to get the monster\'s attention!? Release us! Let us go, you bastard! I hope you die horribly in that monster\'s mouth!" Fornius screamed and tried to break free from The Space and Time prison. But what he does is useless. He couldn\'t even move a single part of his body. Because of that, he can only curse Ziel.
On the other hand, Aghares kept quiet, knowing that he would only be wasting his energy if he tried to break free and scream like Fornius. He was now focused on what the Space Beasts would do to them.
The monster shot a blurry laser beam from its eyes at Fornius and Aghares. The space around the attack trajectory distorted then cracked. Aghares face became serious as he could feel how dangerous the attack was. He could already see what their next fate would be.
Booooooooommmmmm!
The space where Fornius and Aghares were sealed was shattered into pieces. A violent space storm broke out at that place. The attack from the monster had the same element as the Aghares. But the power level was much different.
"Arrrgh!" Aghares gritted his teeth to withstand the attack head-on with his body. He couldn\'t dodge or defend because he was under the influence of Ziel\'s ability. He felt like his body was being torn apart within that space storm.
Ziel took the opportunity as the monster focused on Aghares and Fornius. He flew slowly towards the Space Beast\'s blind spot. He doesn\'t use teleportation because the creature is susceptible to changes in the space around it.
After getting close to the monster, Ziel removed his black sword and gripped his white sword with both hands. Aurora and gray light swirled on the blade and slowly melted into one. The new light condensed and compressed to the extreme. Then Ziel quickly slashed it at the monster.
[Dimensional Splitter]
The space around the monster seemed to split in two, and then a large deep scar was created on the surface of the monster\'s head.
Roaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!
The Space Beast finally noticed Ziel\'s existence. But the monster couldn\'t find him because Ziel had moved to avoid his sight. Ziel used the beast\'s blind spot to hide and attack it. Ziel\'s advantage against that monster is that it is too big, and only its head appears on the Clorius continent, so the monster\'s visibility is very narrow.
The monster can only be injured with the space element. If using other elements to attack the beast, their attack will be nullified. Attacks that used elements other than space elements on the monster would feel like throwing small pebbles into the vast ocean. The attack would be like being sucked in by a black hole.
Ziel keeps attacking the Space Beast through its blind spot. Ziel would move elsewhere and attack the beast again when the monster turned its gaze to him. He kept doing that time and time again. Even so, the damage that Ziel inflicted on the monster wasn\'t that fatal. One Ziel strike on the monster was enough to kill a god beast. So you can imagine how powerful the Space Beast is.
The Space Beast was starting to feel enraged by Ziel\'s attack. Then the space around the beast split open, and minions appeared. It was small compared to the Space Beasts, but its actual size was as large as the thunder god-like creature that Fornius had summoned.
"Looks like this is going to be a bit of a hassle." Ziel raised his eyebrows after feeling the power of the minion coming out from the space rift. Those minions were slightly weaker than a god beast. But the number of minions that emerged from the space rift was hundreds. The minions spread out to protect the Space Beasts from Ziel. This makes it difficult for Ziel because there will be no more blind spots on the Space Beast if the minions spread all over its head.
Ziel had no other choice but to kill the minions and create an opening to attack the Space Beasts. He didn\'t want to face the Space Beast\'s attack head-on because it was tough to resist or dodge. Any barrier would be destroyed instantly with such a powerful space elemental attack.
[Piqment Clone]
Ziel divided his body into seven people, including himself. The other six Ziels spread out and started attacking all over the Space Beast\'s head. The minions blocked Ziel\'s clones while approaching the Space Beasts, but it wasn\'t a big deal for him. What troubled him right now was that he needed a powerful space attack to eradicate the Space Beast.
The seven Ziels kept thinking while killing the minions. Because Ziel was divided into seven, he could quickly think of many ways. He quickly got the answer to his predicament.
"I had to create a new skill with extraordinary space abilities to defeat the space beast." The real Ziel stepped away from the Space Beast and let the six Ziel clones keep attacking and distract the beast. He closed his eyes, and gray-colored Aura and Mana overflowed from his body. Ziel used his two innate abilities at once. He used \'Imitation\' to imitate the attacks of the Space Beasts on Fornius and Aghares. Ziel modified it slightly and created a new ability from the attack with \'Manifestation\'.
Ziel slowly opened his eyes. Then he moved across space and appeared right in front of the Space Beast. The six Ziel clones quickly spread out over the six points and formed a regular hexagon with the Space Beast right at the center. They shared their thoughts with the real Ziel and understood what he would do. The six clones gave off different colored auras because Ziel borrowed the power of the Imperial Dragon.
Ziel still can\'t use more of the Imperial Dragon\'s abilities simultaneously. But it\'s different if he uses a clone as an intermediary. Each of the Ziel clones shot a pillar of light into the sky. Ziel\'s eyes turned silver and his white sword shrouded in a thick silver light.
The Space Beast sensed the danger coming at him. He roared and tried to get out of the seal that was holding him back, but it was too late because Ziel had already slashed his sword towards the center point of the hexagon.
[Hexagon Buster]
