Chapter 251: Aura of Destruction
"You’re a monster! An Avaran abomination! I thought all of you had been wiped out of existence, but it appears that the Primordials missed a few rats! You and your kind are nothing but a bane to the Primordial Expanse! A virus that never stops! You go around killing and consuming for power like it is your birthright! Even now you are still doing the same!"
Jason’s brow furrowed for a second as he heard all of this! Jason had never heard about his race in this way before. From what his father told him, Jason thought that the Avaran were a peaceful race that only fought back against those who wanted to oppress them! If this Lich was telling the truth, then that would mean that this race wasn’t peaceful at all! They were actually conquerors. But that wasn’t important right now! Jason easily shook that thought out of his head as he felt the Lich’s mana rising once again! A magic circle appeared in the air right behind Jason, and Jason turned around sharply and placed the Lich in the path of the spell he shot out toward him!
BOOM!
The Lich cried out as the dark spell impacted him, and it was only because he was already dead that he didn’t immediately wither and die! Jason tossed the Lich towards a large rock in the distance, and the Lich released another cry as Jason put his hand out and summoned thousands of swords all around him!
Woosh!
Ratatatatatatatat!!
The swords began to fly towards the Lich like bullets, and Jason slowly walked forward as he continued bombarding the Lich nonstop! An explosion went off behind Jason as Ragnar finally brought down the giant ogre, and Jason heard Ragnar let out a loud cry in victory! Jason’s vision travelled towards the fight happening between his Legion and the subordinates of the Lich, and Jason grinned when he saw that the Lich’s subordinates were slowly being pushed back by his subordinates. Jason’s mana was low, but it was quickly being replenished, so Jason knew that he could keep going all day if he needed to! It was time to end this once and for all!
The rain of swords finally stopped, and Jason saw that the Lich was barely standing! The Lich had used up all of its defensive artefacts to protect against Jason’s attack, but it was still unable to fully block all the swords! One of the Lich’s arms as well as the right side of its skull had broken off, and Jason watched as the Lich fell to it’s knee. The Lich’s eyes traveled from Jason over to his dead ogre, and it knew that there was nothing it could do to defeat Jason! Jason was stronger, faster, and had more subordinates than him! It had taken him more than five years to create that giant ogre and it was on the same level as a high-level S Rank, but it couldn’t even touch Jason once!
Was this really how it’s life was going to end? All that hard work and dedication. All those sleepless nights that it spent working on advancing its Necrosis magic and making sure that its test subjects were properly used! Was it really going to allow some Avaran bastard to kill and consume him like he was some sort of fucking meal!? Of course he wasn’t! He was Logof! Lord of the dead and master of Necrosis! He was not going to die to some mere Avaran scum!
Doon!
The Lich’s jaws split into a feral grin as his chest suddenly began to shine with a dark light, and Jason’s eyes narrowed when he felt the entire area surge with a feeling of death and despair! The dark light in the Lich’s chest increased in intensity. Jason quickly summoned a sword while sending a message out to Ragnar and telling him to get ready for an attack! Ragnar immediately accepted the order, and Jason threw his sword expertly towards the Lich’s chest and watched as it slammed into the dark light that was shining there! The sword pinned the Lich to the wall behind it, but the Lich only laughed as the light continued to increase in intensity! The Lich was only an S Rank in strength, but Jason could tell that the mana it was gathering was far above SS Rank! Where the hell was all this coming from!?
"I am Logof! Student of Forgo and the master of death! I refuse to fall into the River of the Afterlife alone, so I’ll take you there with me! Run, you bastard Avaran! Run as far as you can! But you will not be able to escape the range of this attack!"
The Lich quickly began to gather more power from the River of the Afterlife! This was a skill that the Lich had been preparing for decades now! It allowed the Lich to fire a blast of pure mana from its chest that would destroy everything around it. But the mana it was firing was not normal mana that could easily be deflected! This was mana that the Lich gathered directly from the River of the Afterlife, and its power was many times higher than what the Lich could produce on his own! The Lich had been researching how to reach the River of the Afterlife all his life, and this was the best he could do in the time that he had! He swore that he was going to use every drop of power he had gathered to ensure Jason didn’t make it out of here alive!
Jason could feel the increase in mana suddenly rising to abnormal levels, and he didn’t waste any time as he immediately took a step back and fell into the shadows before dashing away from the attack’s blast zone! The Lich’s eyes widened in shock from the new move and he was too stunned to do anything as Ragnar appeared from above and let out a world-shaking roar! The dragon opened its mouth, and the air in front of it pulsed with power before it finally released a blast of pure destruction towards the Lich!
KA-TOOM!
The Lich looked up in shock when he saw the fire coming toward him, and he cried out as the mana overload in its chest became too great! The Lich’s chest puffed outwards like a balloon, and at the moment Ragnar’s attack landed, the Lich exploded!
BOOM!
A fiery aura spread across the entire area and slammed into Ragnar like a freight train! Ragnar immediately disintegrated into millions of little pieces and fell to the floor like ash, and the aura of destruction continued forward as it destroyed everything for miles in every direction and turned it to ash! The body of the giant that had been lying at the side, as well as the Falcons that Jason had been switching places with, were also disintegrated, and it wasn’t until it had destroyed more than five miles in every direction that the aura of destruction finally stopped!
A few seconds passed with no sound being heard in the area before Jason slowly poked the top of his head out from the shadow like a mole and looked around curiously. Jason was more than six miles away from the Lich and he whistled as he saw the absolute carnage that the Lich’s spell had caused! He dived back into the shadow and travelled back towards the Lich before he finally brought his whole body out from the shadow and he deactivated the Adamantine armor around him. Jason felt his cloak flutter in the wind once more as he walked over the ashen ground and stared down calmly at the prone body of the Immortal Lich.
