BXBX NOVEL Chapter 558 - Battling A True God
Ren looked above his head and saw the gigantic mountain blocking the sun, and then it turned dark. He was so excited that he kept on laughing as he gathered mana into Snertal. The sword made out of the remains of an ancient dragon roared as Ren slashed at the huge mountain before him.
After the mountain was cleanly sliced in half, Ren then performed multiple slashes reducing the mountain into nothing but dust. Once he was done with that, Ren noticed that his surrounding area was becoming colder and colder. He then saw the ground below him forming pillars of ice.
Ren evaded a few of them but was unable to dodge all of the pillars as one got a hold of him and he became encased in ice. The ice that encased him was made of pure mana and was colder than anything in this world. Usually, a person would die when encased in something like this, but instead of dying Ren\'s body started to burn, and the ice that encased him melted away. Ren was now surrounded by his Spirit Aura as it burned away the mana of ice.
"Why do you spell caster types always like to use the same tired spells like ice coffin?"
As Ren spoke he looked at the New God who had teleported a few kilometers away. He then saw that the New God had finished reciting something. The cold air moments ago was replaced by scorching heat, Ren looked above his head and saw that there were now two suns in the sky.
The second sun then started to descend and was coming closer and closer to Ren. Seeing the second sun falling down on him while feeling the scorching heat burning his body just made Ren incredibly intoxicated with glee. As he continued to smile his vicious smile, his mana was surging out.
Ren then raised his hand above his head blocking the second sun\'s light, as he did that shadow below him started to expand and chains made from his shadow came flying upward. The chains made from his shadow collided with the small second sun. The chains then started to wrap around the small second sun until it could no longer shine its light. Once it was fully wrapped with the shadow chains, the second sun was then pulled into Ren\'s shadow and disappeared.
This was the first time Ren had used this technique on such a powerful spell, and it was more exhausting than he thought. At the moment his shadow was trying to devour the spell and it was continuously consuming his mana. Despite feeling his mana slowly being drained he felt incredibly excited waiting for the next thing the New God would do.
When the New God saw how easily Ren dealt with his attacks it infuriated him to no end. The NEw God then gritted his teeth as he twirled his staff a few times, and a downburst of wind came crashing down on Ren.
It took Ren several seconds to dispel this attack and once he did so he noticed something had gotten behind him, but as he was about to dodge whatever it was a shadowy hand had grabbed hold of him and dragged him into a portal.
Ren was pulled into another dimension, and in this dimension dozen of New Gods with similar appearances and aura surrounded him. They then started to talk to Ren with smug looks on their faces.
"This is my own dimension in here I am in total control, in here I can see through your inner self, in here your life and death is within my grasp." One of the New Gods spoke.
"Oh, who knew that the proud incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul has some regrets. To think that you who have reached such a height despite being human have a weakness such as that." Another one of the New Gods spoke in a mocking tone.
"Heh, even the so called Strongest Mortal Soul can\'t save all that he wishes to save." Another one of them sneered.
"It\'s because of you that your father died. It\'s because of you that your village was destroyed. It\'s because of you that your granddaughter from your past life had become an outcast. It\'s because of you that many lives were sacrificed. You make yourself look like a Saint that wants to sacrifice yourself for the mortals, but in truth, you are nothing more than an egotistical barbarian."
All the New Gods that surrounded him continued to taunt him telling him his deepest darkest secrets. They had exposed his innermost thoughts, yet Ren remained motionless as he looked at them with indifference.
"Is that it? Trying to break my will with words, is the most idiotic thing I have ever seen. I already know my mistakes, and I have accepted them. I was never a hero that saves others, and I might have regrets but they do not weigh me down. I was expecting something more when you said that this was your dimension and you could control my life and death, but this was nothing but a letdown." Ren sighed in disappointment which angered the New God.
The surrounding New Gods raised their staves and pointed them at Ren, and a burst of mana came crashing down on Ren. The power of the attack was a hundred times stronger than what the New God used to flatten the Capital City. Yet Ren remained standing as his vicious smile returned to his face, he then shouted.
"Now that\'s what I\'m talking about, show me more of your power!"
Ren closed his eyes concentrating his mana and Spirit Aura into Snertal. As his mana barrier was being eroded by the attack of the New God, Ren opened his eyes.
"Snertal ROAR!"
Ren\'s sword Snertal roared which echoed throughout the New God\'s dimension. This disrupted the mana attack of the New God, and at that very moment, Ren swung his sword filled with the combined power of his mana and Spirit Aura. The sword sliced through everything and cut apart the very dimension they were in.
Upon breaking apart the New God\'s personal dimension the two of them returned to the area above the former Capital of New Grenton. The New God was blown away by that attack, and for the first time since the start of the battle, he was damaged. Something that look like blood slowly trickled down his mouth. The New God touched his chin and noticed the blood that came out of his mouth. He was surprised by the revelation, on the other hand, when Ren saw this he chuckled.
"Heh, so even a True God can bleed."
