Chapter 176: Chapter 175:I’m just here to collect something...

CRASHHHH!!!!!

The earth rumbled as another colossal abomination came crashing down.....

"Devour.."

<<DEVOURING IN PROGRESS...>>

.....

<<DEVOURING SUCCESSFUL>>

<<Energy converted.. 50,000 CE>>

<<You have received 30,000 free attribute points..>>

....

I waited and waited for another notification to pop up...

Nothing...

This was what? The fifth? colossal abomination I’d taken down, I stopped counting after the third one let me down..

Apparently, just because they all looked alike didn’t mean they’d have the same abilities..

Some, like this one, were just massive dumb brutes.

You’d think I would be able to tell, since unlike the first one, these guys didn’t have tentacles for a face..

"Sigh.... I guess I was just lucky back then.." I sighed, depressed...

(A/N: bro calls facing a gargantuan eldritch mammoth as luck, wonder how many people would want to be so "lucky"..)

Hummmmmmm!!!!!

"Yea yea, I know, I just really wanted to know what that ability it had was, if it was teleportation it’d have been really cool you know?"

Hummmmmmm!!!

"I know I have atmospheric displacement, so what? I can stockpile abilities however I want, humph.." I turned away from the inconsiderate weapon..

Hum..

"Alright fine, I forgive you."

Hummmm!!!

"Hah!! I knew it, you were only being nice because you want to go celestial hunting.."

Hummm~~~

"Fine.. you’re right, no need wasting anymore time here." I agreed with Elira, we’d already wasted enough time and I was itching to get my new wings, so..

Poof...

"Hey there... me" a perfect clone appeared before me..

""Damn.. we are handsome!"" both me and the clone spoke up simultaneously...

""Bahahahahahaha...""

...

....

"Alright, here’s the deal, you’re going to go make sure we don’t lose to that monkey, take down as many of these as you can and if you see any with tentacles or blade like limbs, keep them separate, hell, any unique abomination you encounter, keep the corpse, we good?" After a good laugh with my clone, I decided it was time to finally get down to business..

"Sure.. but what are you going to be doing during this time?" The clone asked, curious.

A wicked smile curled up my lips.

"I’m going to go get us those cool looking wings."

"Chicken wings?"

"What? No! That celestial, I’m going to get his wings."

"Ohh.. cool, we don’t need wings though?"

"Yea, but it’ll look cool as fuck and that’s all that matters." I nodded my head, satisfied..

"Well, whatever you say, I guess.."

"Good." The stale wind began picking up as my body rose from the shattered earth.

"Do not lose... make sure you kill as many as you can, if need be, you can make this place void of those abominations.." I cautioned..

"Hahahahahaha... don’t worry, it’s me.. when have we ever lost?" The clone grinned savagely..

I nodded, as I positioned myself..

"I’ll be looking forward to your performance then.."

BOOMM!!!

The air exploded as I shot forward, my target, those wings...

Hummmmmm!!!!

"Goddamn, Elira what now?"

Hummmmm!!!!

"The target is my wings before your blood!"

HUUUUUMMMMM!!!!

Sigh... at some point you really start wishing your weapon was just that, a weapon..

HUMMMMM!!!!!

"Fuck...."

........

CRASHHHH!!!!!

A behemoth of an abomination came crashing down to earth, its face spotting a new massive hole..

The thing looked like an ape, if apes had spindly arms that looked like they’d been put through a stretcher, tattered wings made of flesh jutting out its back..

"These things are more durable than I had thought." A white armored youth spoke up, voice muffled underneath his helmet..

"They’re merely brutes, nothing too much to be wary of, especially with the young lord here." Another youth said, his attention on the golden haired youth that was currently floating above the massive corpse..

"These are merely the runts of the litter, true abominations are not so easy to dispatch." The third youth in armor spoke up.

"Asher is right." The blonde celestial finally spoke up..

"They may look alike but even these things have their differences, you’re yet to meet an abomination with any sort of ability, that is why you can be this rela..." his words were cut short as the earth began rumbling....

The blonde youth’s face turned grim..

"Get rea..." he barely got the words out before the world darkened, a dreadful feeling crawling up their spines as they felt the cold chill of death...

GUOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

An unnatural roar, the combination of a cacophony of sounds, came from above them and when they looked up, their faces paled instantly...

A tall as the heavens like.. something... was descending upon them, fast...

"READY YOUR DEFENSES!!!" The blond youth shouted as his body shone with a golden light, his aura rising drastically....

BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

The earth ruptured as the foot made contact with the ground...

A crater spanning over a hundred meters wide spreading outwards as fissures lined up the face of the earth...

WOOOSHHH!!!!

Three figures burst out of the cloud of debris and shattered earth..

They were the figures of the blond youth and two other paladins, now wearing considerablly less relaxed looks, with their armor in complete tatters and blood spurting out of several wounds..

""ASHER!!!!!!"" The two paladins yelled out in grief...

GUOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Swish...

Swish...

The air split violently as colossal tentacles, shot towards the group of now three youths..

"SNAP OUT OF YOUR GRIEF, WE MUST DEFEND OURSELVES!" The celestial roared, the golden armor around his body having been cracked in various places..

Light covered his form as the damages were recovered, the light lance in his hands shone Brilliantly as he got ready to attack...

"Seraph’s Light Arts!"

"Light of Judgment!!" The youth thrust his lance forward as his figure pierced through the air, cutting through a few tentacles before inevitably being swatted from the air...

GUOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!

The abomination bellowed in sheer rage...

""ATTACK!!!"" The two remaining paladins, having snapped out of their grief, immediately yelled out in pure madness.

Golden light flared over their bodies as the silhouette of a goddess manifested behind them..

A massive sword appeared in the hands of one, while a spiked club appeared in hands of the other..

""Oh goddess of light, bless our weapons and help us vanquish this evil!"" They chanted in unison as the light surrounding them got brighter and brighter..

GUOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

The abomination seemed to have sensed the threat as it wailed in anger, a massive foot rising from the ground as it got ready to crush the puny insects underfoot..

"Not while I’m still HERE!!!" The celestial youth, tattered and bloody from the last attack reappeared before the colossus..

Golden light flared over his form as the figure of a six winged seraph manifested behind him..

"SERAPH’S LIGHT ARTS!!"

The world stilled as if waiting for what was coming...

The abomination was irate...

Its tentacles shot out in a frenzy, intent on preventing whatever the celestial was about to unleash, while its foot continued its descent upon the still chanting youths below..

But all of that stopped once the golden figure of the goddess opened her closed eyes, the voices of the youths following soon after..

""Fury of Ataraxia!!!""

WENGGG!!!!!

A blinding strike lit up the whole place for miles around...

GUOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

The massive creature wailed in agony as its body now spotted two gigantic wounds so deep its limbs were almost completely severed..

"STILL NOT ENOUGH, YOUNG LORD URIAH!!!!" The two youths called out in desperation...

"HEAVEN’S JUDGEMENT!!" The celestial was already done, a massive light lance appeared within the skies, its size too large to comprehend..

GUOOOOOHHHHHHHHH.....

The abomination wailed in terror as it tried to teleport out of there, only for its ability to fail..

"Haa..Haa..haaa.. it’s futile, once heaven has locked onto you, you can only accept your fate." The young celestial breathed heavily...

"Now.. DIE!!" The enormous lance of light within the sky finally fell,

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

An entire ten kilometer radius trembled violently as the attack made contact, the ginormous abomination not standing a chance as its body was impaled and driven into a crater so deep its end couldn’t be seen...

The youths collapsed as they tried to catch their breaths, uncaring for the flurry of notifications that had flooded their visions...

"What.... What... was that..?" One asked, body still trembling, whether from overuse or fear, it was anyone’s guess..

"Haaa.. that. Was a true abomination.." the young celestial replied, still trying to catch his breath, obviously that last attack had taken a lot from him...

"Damn it.... Asher.." the second youth grieved...

"His sacrifice is one most noble, I shall make sure the others learn of his heroic deeds.." the young celestial comforted...

But before they could speak another word, a whistle came from the skies...

"Damn... to think that thing would give you guys such a hard time... Tut. Tut. Tut. I’m quite honestly disappointed.."

"""WHOO!!""" The youths were immediately alert, their gazes shooting towards the sky...

There, sitting lazily on the blade of a golden halberd adorned in ancient draconic sigils.

Was a young man with white hair, his chiseled upper body bare, with an arrogant and infuriating smile on his handsome face...

"Yo... it’s nice to finally meet you guys.." a wild, predatory grin appeared on the handsome young man’s face..

They didn’t need to be told anything else.

They knew, this man wasn’t here with good intentions...

"Now now, don’t look at me like that, you’ll make me feel like the bad guy here.."

"After all, I’m just here to collect something that’s mine.."

"Hahahahahahahahaha...."
