Chapter 568 - Direct Confrontation
GDK 568: Direct Confrontation
The duo of Cecrops and Golander marched towards Han Shuo at slow but steady paces. They would peer at Manticole and Leviathan out of the corner of their eyes once in a while, carefully on guard against any unforeseen danger.
Things having come to this, Han Shuo could no longer cower. The only choice left for him was to go all out and fight. As to whether or not he could preserve his avatar cultivating the element of death, that would depend on whether he could resist the attacks of the two Demon Kings.
Meteor shower and Spatial Edges were wreaking havoc all around him, causing bursts of splendid light to blossom incessantly. Han Shuo was on full alert. His mind was as sharp as it could have been. He held onto the Demonslayer Edge and calmly waited for the two Demon Kings to launch their attacks.
On the contrary, the two Demon Kings, Cecrops and Golander, who were closing in on Han Shuo step by step, appeared relaxed and at ease, as though they weren’t taking Han Shuo seriously at all. Han Shuo knew that the reason these two Demon Kings came over at such sluggish speeds was that they were wary of Manticole and Leviathan. They weren’t actually all that heedful towards the enemy they were about to strike.
When the two got very near to Han Shuo, Cecrops sent a signal to Golander with his eyes. At the next instance, the two went from slowly walking to charging at Han Shuo at high-speed.
These existences in the realm of lowgod concentrated their divine energy to their limbs. After two streaks of light flashed, they arrived right in front of Han Shuo.
The Demonslayer Edge gave off brilliant rays and turned into another Han Shuo within a split second. A ruthless energy wishing to annihilate the world erupted. A ball of sinister light with boundless darkness completely enveloped the immediate region.
The two Demon Kings were moving too fast. Therefore, right after the Demonslayer Edge produced that ball of dark light, they fell into it.
In fact, the Demon King duo who possessed absolute confidence in their own strength did not make any effort to the evade darkness but continued to advance bravely, shooting at Han Shuo by relying on their senses.
“Forgive me, Mister Han Shuo,” Leviathan said with a grin. He may have appeared cheerful at times, but in this moment, he looked absolutely diabolical.
Meanwhile, Manticole, the very first Demon King that made contact with Han Shuo, did not utter a word. He deployed his Domain of Divinity with all his strength, closing in on Han Shuo inch by inch.
“I knew you two would attack,” Han Shuo said grimly. He wore an ordinary expression as he watched the lightning bolts and darkness inch closer and closer.
Strange light rippled through the Demonslayer Edge. It flew out from Han Shuo’s hand and in an instant, transformed into another Han Shuo!
Simultaneously, Han Shuo’s two hands on his main body made a hand seal. Thousands upon thousands of what looked like demons and ghosts emerged from Han Shuo’s palms. Then, suddenly, towering stone pillars started to rise from the originally flat and smooth ground. Huge, colourful banners, which seemed to be as light as feathers, flew out from his space ring, and stuck themselves on the ground in accordance with some mysterious principles.
If Bord and Zinia were here, they would certainly recognize that these huge banners and stelae that abruptly appeared before Han Shuo once stood before War Demon Valley. They were that so-called ‘magical matrix’ that could extinguish tens of thousands of lives in an instant!
Unfortunately, neither Bord nor Zinia were there. Manticole and Leviathan had no idea what sorts of powers lay within those towering stelae and banners embellished with drawings of fierce monsters. Therefore, they did not halt their attacks, nor did they alter their headings. They stuck to their original plan of following behind their thick lightning bolts and scythes, and ran straight for Han Shuo.
Rumbles…
The very moment that the two entered the magical formation, an explosion sound as though the earth had shattered sounded from within. At that instance, bloody shadows began fluttering all around. Colourful demonic light radiated from those huge banners and interwove. An inexhaustible sinister energy spread out from the formation in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the dozen or more extremely thick thunderbolts and the Reaper’s scythe materialized from the element of darkness, which, like a stone falling into the sea, elicited no response. They were fragmented and dissolved bit by bit within the thousands upon thousands of bizarre lights.
The two Demon Kings fell into the formation. One of them transformed into a person enveloped with lightning and thunder, his body shining gloriously from head to toe, while the other shrouded himself completely under absolute darkness. If not for Han Shuo’s consciousness locking onto Manticole, it really would have been a challenge to discover that he was hiding among the shadows of the formations.
The two Demon Kings had not only extraordinary strength, but were also sinister and cunning. By this point, they had thrown caution to the wind and were no longer reserved about the boundaries and seals all around. That agreement they made with Bechymos had long been cast far out from their minds. Inside Han Shuo’s formation, by relying on the miraculousness of their Domains of Divinity, they did not suffer any serious damage and could in fact still soar through the air. Lowgods were, after all, lowgods. They definitely weren’t existences that those Rakshas and Destroyers could compare to. Most of the magical matrices of necromancy and destruction mixed within the formation lost their effects after the two deployed their Domains of Divinity.
When Han Shuo saw that it was impossible to eliminate or severely injure the two by solely relying on the energy of the formation, after weighing for a while, he finally summoned Little Skeleton. Han Shuo’s main body, his avatar, and Little Skeleton entered the formation together. They were ready to muster all their strengths and utilize the favorable environmental conditions to deal these double-crossing Demon Kings heavy thumps!
