BXBX NOVEL Chapter 551 - War (V)
---
Stunned beyond belief…that would be the most accurate description of what everyone witnessed just now.
When this guy moved and went in there? Why did nobody noticed him at all? How the hell did he passed by the detection of a Deadly Sin? How did nobody notice the act of him sealing the portal to the 12th floor earlier?
All of these questioned rumbled in their brain yet nobody could answer them, perhaps only Raven himself would…but it doesn't seem that he'll be interested on doing that.
"Ehehe…come on, stop staring at me. I'm shy…" Raven showed a bashful expression as he looked sideways and evaded their glance.
The War Gods felt their faces twitching when they heard him. 'What's he acting all bashful about?' Is what they all asked inwardly.
"Raaggh!!!" A primal roar suddenly woke everyone up from their stupor.
The pupils of every War God constricted when they saw Lust charging towards Raven with a twisted expression. It was then that they inwardly cursed themselves for being so stupid. They should've known from the moment that Raven was discovered. They should've already moved and protected him since he already began doing his work.
However, it's all too late…
…or is it?
*Bam!*
Multiple sound barriers were broken due to how fast Lust flew. His target was obviously Raven, wanting nothing more than to tear this pest apart and torture his soul for his daring act of completely taking advantage of the situation.
The War Gods tried to follow him, especially Levi who's the fastest amongst all of the War Gods here. Unfortunately, the head start that Lust got from taking advantage caused him to pull ahead of them and reach Raven faster.
Just as the War Gods despaired for being so careless as to allowing a brilliant Heir of Zeus to die within their presence, a sigh echoed on their ears which undoubtedly came from Raven.
"Tch. And here I thought I could do this without anyone noticing. Just my luck really…"
*BOOOOOOOM!*
"GAHCK!"
A loud and miserable chocking sound was heard all over the broken floor. The War Gods were floored by what they saw just now…
Lust, who's been breaking sound barriers and were trying to kill Raven as fast as possible, were smacked by an enormous hands which came out of nowhere like a fly. He crashed on the ground just as fast as he was going, the impact caused the ground to shook fiercely and for a massive crater to form where he crashed.
Raven's face was devoid of any expression as he loftily stood on the air, arms crossed and staring down at Lust as if they were an insect.
The War Gods were gaping at the sight. None of them dared to imagine such a surprising development but they weren't mad at it. In fact they were incredibly joyous, knowing that Raven was strong enough to defend himself.
Now that the danger was subverted, the War Gods no longer hesitated. Every single one of them surrounded Raven and protected him.
"Haha! Serves you right asshole!" Paolo on his Taotie form laughed uproariously as he watch Lust trying to get but failing and coughing blood, he then looked at Raven and said: "That was a good slap, 9th!"
"Stop bothering him already!" Julia admonished, she then looked at Raven and said: "You go ahead and finish applying the seal. Leave this thing to us."
"I'll trouble you then." Raven nodded, all the playfulness on his face and tone was gone. "My Destruction Laws are wrecking havoc to it's body, you guys can take advantage of it."
"Music to my ears." Charles smirked coldly upon hearing that.
Without any further ado, he brandished his spear and pointed it at the sky. An orb of red light accumulated at the tip of his spear, growing to a palm sized ball before he pointed it at Lust who's still struggling to get up.
"Longinus! Pierce!" Charles roared as he thrust his crimson spear forward. The ball exploded and turned into a beam of crimson light, piercing Lust's heart with perfect accuracy.
Paolo followed up by falling onto the ground with a loud stomp. He then lowered his body and began lifting something up. Cracks formed on the ground, slowly revealing an enormous boulder which was at least fifteen times bigger than Paolo himself.
"Raaggh!!" With a loud roar, Paolo threw the boulder at Lust who tried to flee but discovered that his body was constricted by whip with piercing and poisonous thorns. This was the work of Celestine.
*BOOOM!*
A screeching sound escaped through Levi's lips who's still on his King Roc's form. Behind him, numerous feathers manifested containing a sharp and shredding aura's. With a flap of his wings, the feathers began flying towards Lust, intending to rip their body apart from head to toe.
*Hum!*
Jessamine's delicate fingers plucked her Zither so fast they turned into a blur. The sound she produced caused her allies to feel energized and stronger while at same time, weakening Lust in multiple ways.
Large pillars of White Flames erupted from Theo's body. There was a look of unprecedented concentration on his face as exercised his will on to the Cleansing Flame Pillars, transforming them into white flame, red-eyed dragons. Each dragon head glared at Lust with an unparalleled hostility. Theo waved his fans, sending the dragons rushing towards Lust.
"Dance of the Nine Dragons!"
The dragons he sent began surrounding Lust who had been terrible injuries at this point. Due to them being Cleansing Flames, their lethality against a creature like him were dialed up to 11. They opened their maws and began gnawing at Lust's body.
Lust wailed in agony as the Cleansing Flames incinerated every inch of their body. Nevertheless, he's still alive even though he's badly hurt, which was a large indication of just how absurd these Deadly Sins are.
All of a sudden, nine brilliant runes appeared near Lust, each one forming a shape of majestic swan dancing. As they dances, the Cleansing Flames fluctuated. They lost their draconic shape and transformed into a massive twister that burned Lust's body even more.
Thanks to Julia's move, the temperature of the flames reached their all time high. The burning heat it now possessed burned every inch of Lust's body, in fact it was even melting his vocal chords, preventing him from screaming out in sheer agony.
But that's not the end of it…
Raven who casually glanced behind him and saw Lust's torture, decided to amp up the pain. Light blossomed from his body, turning into strands of light which transformed into ethereal hands surrounding him. Another light suffused from his body and encased the entire broken floor. It formed a huge dome which transformed the land into a scene of ruin and destruction.
The temperature fell, everything turned dull and lifeless. A blunt, cold and imposing will descended out of nowhere. A wave of unparalleled killing intent bore down on Lust, causing them to be reminded of their brother Wrath.
"This is…" The War Gods were astounded. They all looked back at Raven, staring at him incredulously as they felt the sudden changes on their surroundings.
"Slaughter Intent! Boy, you sure are an evil-doer! To think that you were even hiding something awesome!" Logan cried out in shock.
"Not quite." Theo's commented as he inspected the domain surrounding them. "It should be a pseudo-Slaughter Intent superimposed with his Destruction Domain."
"Indeed." Raven nodded, his face was indifferent and cold but no one was surprised, this was the side-effect of his Slaughter Intent after all.
"Still, it's nothing short of amazing!" Julia commented on the side. "Not all War Gods has that, not even the pseudo version. You sure are a little monster."
"Focus everyone." Levi interrupted, allowing them to return their attention back to the enemy.
Lust's face twisted on agony when they felt a sharp, soul-rending pain on their back.
Everyone saw a pair of massive hands which contained rivers of stars, tearing Lust's wings apart without any ounce of mercy. Nobody was surprised nor alarmed, in fact they even found that scene exhilarating to watch. The more they knew about him, the more Raven shows them just how capable he was. Normally they'd shower him with praises but now's not the time.
"Let's end this farce." Henry grunted as he raised a finger pointing towards the sky.
A massive portal appeared above Lust. After that, a massive sword-tip appeared, filled with killing intent and pointed Lust's head. The massive sword continued descending until it was fully revealed for everyone to see.
Logan whistled as they all stared at that massive sword. He had seen this many times in the past but scene never gets old.
Lust's eyes widened in disbelief. Just from a glance, he could already tell that this enormous sword will undoubtedly kill them, therefore it started preparing to defend itself.
Seeing this, Henry merely snorted and swiped his finger down, plunging the sword down. It was then Raven's voice was heard.
"Let me help you with that." He raised a hand and clenched it.
Two enormous hands appeared by the handle of the sword, grasping it tightly. Raven brought his fist down and the enormous hands plunged the sword down to end Lust once and for all.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!"
*BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!*
