SSS Ranked Shadow Monarch: Summoning Infinite Shadows-Chapter 185: Aren Please

There was no response from Aren. He simply got ready for the next attack, launching the Ancient Devourer forward with all his strength. The sword curled in the air, jaws wide open as he moved for another pound of blood.

Despite being shaken with fear, Raze knew that he had to act. He kicked back and blocked the attack at the same time.

CLANG! Sparks flew.

Raze’s hand was knocked back. He was wide open.

Aren stepped forward.

Slash.

The spatial cut ripped through the air, heading for Raze.

He gritted his teeth, pulling his hand back with all his might. "Arghhhhh," Raze growled as he blocked the attack.

BOOM.

He was thrown back.

Skidding along the ground.

STAB.

He thrust his sword into the ground to slow himself down, then he looked up for Aren. He was no longer there.

A massive shadow was cast. Raze looked up. A massive ball of lava was falling from above.

"Fuck," he cursed, kicking backwards and flapping his wings at the same time, moving fast enough to just avoid it. The lava hit the ground and splashed outward, some landing on his skin, leaving burns, but they healed up, unlike the first wound.

He looked up, only to see Riker coming from the sky, slashing downward.

"Shit," Raze cursed and blocked the attack, but the blood from his wounds splashed forward like before and landed on the sword, activating the soul inside the sword as well. Now two Ancient Devourers roamed.

Before he could understand what the hell was going on, Aren descended from above, swinging with all his might.

"Arghhhhhhhh," Aren roared.

Raze knew he could never defend against that. He flapped his wings to run away, but Riker immediately gave chase from the side and then attacked, the dragon head coiling around as it slammed into Raze’s sword.

CLANG!

The collision sent shockwaves that shook the entire area. Houses cracked even more, the ground was riddled with more gaps now.

"Shit, if Aren keeps coming at me like this, I’ll have no way to escape. I have to create a way out. I’ll have to use more divine energy."

"Bless me Lady Elton, your son desires strength," Raze muttered, and immediately his divine energy rocketed through the roofs, and he immediately pushed back Riker and rushed to attack, only for Riker to vanish and Aren appear.

This shocked Raze so much that he paused for a second.

"Die!" Aren said, eyes still white and without life. He slashed with the dagger. Raze dodged backwards. The tip of the dagger grazed his face, but the blood that gushed out was massive.

Without pause, Aren slashed with the Devourer. The dragon head stretched forward to the retreating Raze and bit into his shoulder. This time it didn’t let go.

"Arghhhh! Let go of me!" Raze roared. His divine energy blasted outward like a storm, forcing the sword back. The ground beneath him cracked, and then a crater formed beneath him. His eyes glowed gold.

"I have had enough. I’ll not allow a whelp defy me." His voice thundered as he concentrated all that divine energy into his sword. He lifted the sword into the air.

"Dieeeeeeeeeee!" He slashed at Aren. A massive golden sword arc, one that stretched as long as thirty feet, shot out. It cut through everything, even the air itself. The ground exploded as it passed over it.

"Hahahahaha, let’s see what you do against this now. Let’s see how you survive," Raze yelled, feeling that he had won. Aren had pushed him to unleash his real divine power.

Aren had no expression on his face beyond rage. He put away the dagger and switched to the hammer. The moment it landed in his hands, the runes glowed. Aren leaped into the air. Tendrils shot out and latched onto him, pulling him down extremely fast.

He swung the hammer down and it slammed into the ground, unleashing a shockwave so terrifying that it shook the entire city from where he stood. The shockwave travelled forward and slammed into the sword arc. What followed was an explosion of light so terrifying that it could be seen from every point in the city.

And when the light died, Aren was still standing, and the hammer was in his hands, along with the Ancient Devourer. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Raze was stunned. This was impossible. It couldn’t be. How could he, the avatar of an angel, be stopped by a newly awakened? It was impossible.

"This is impossible. It can’t be. No!" he yelled, but got no response from Aren.

Instead, Aren pulled his feet back, and in the next moment, he threw the hammer forward so fast that it caused multiple sonic booms as it traveled, reaching speeds that shattered human perception and basically going invisible.

Raze couldn’t dodge what he couldn’t see. He tried to sense the energy, but it moved too fast. The hammer slammed into Raze’s chest so hard that it shattered his entire ribcage in an instant.

Raze coughed a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide in fear and shock, but the shock switched to pure fear when Aren arrived beside him, running as fast as the hammer was taking him.

Aren swung the Ancient Devourer and it attacked right for Raze’s torso, then took him up before slamming him into the ground, leaving a massive crater there.

Aren caught the hammer, then the first thing he did was slam it into Raze’s guts, destroying whatever was left inside.

Raze coughed blood up, his eyes bulged. He was a mess, but still alive.

Aren tossed both weapons to the side and then grabbed Raze, pulling him up.

"Cough, cough, c-come on Aren, please," Raze managed to say through the blood. Aren had no response. He grabbed the wings behind Raze and immediately pulled both.

"Arghhhhhhh!" Raze roared as he ripped the two out.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Raze cried in pain as both wings were removed, blood pouring everywhere.

Aren tossed his body to the ground along with the wings. He looked at Raze.

Then he moved for the legs. He grabbed both and snapped them like twigs. Before Raze could scream, he grabbed the arms and ripped them off, before grabbing Raze by the face and lifting him off.

Aren squeezed hard. His fingers dug into the skull, and then,

Pop.

The head exploded into a rain of blood and brain matter.
