Chapter 513: God of Slaughter, Asura
Ares bit his lips. He was the one that led the rankers here. Just imagining the penalty and frustration that everyone would get from here was making Ares feel something that he had never felt in his entire life. He was feeling complete despair.
Athenae was a game where one would advance towards the goal that they had set for themselves. However, one look at Asura and Ares lost his will to fight. Some of the rankers even looked dispirited as they talked about shelving Athenae for good.
But then, at that moment…
“Do you think you’re someone qualified to talk about the current era?”
The owner of the voice was a hundred meters away from them, a beautiful woman with long, silver hair fluttering in the wind.
‘Sword Emperor Ellie…!’
Ares had actually never seen Ellie with his own eyes before. The only one that had a close relationship with Sword Emperor Ellie was Food God Minhyuk. This was something that all of the Korean players knew. Then…
Clack—
Ellie drew her sword…
Thump— thump—
…and sheathed it quickly as Asura’s head and body fell down on the ground.
“…!”
Ares could not hide the shock when he saw the figure stand in front of him. What kind of existence was Asura? Asura was someone that slaughtered half of the 500 Korean top rankers in less than thirty seconds. He was also someone that could smirk and sneer at the 5,000% damage that Ares and Khan inflicted on him.
But Ellie was able to overpower him in just one strike.
“Un, unbelievable…”
“S, Sword Emperor Ellie…”
“Crazy…”
“This era’s greatest swordsman…”
That was right. Asura was talking about the strong of the current era but it was impossible to talk about those people without including Sword Emperor Ellie. Ellie, who was walking with her back to Asura while sporting a frosty and expressionless face, exuded the aura of a ‘girl crush’ to the women and the aura of a ‘cool, beautiful, and sexy woman’ to the men.
“That man… is friends… with such… a person…?” Ares mumbled as respect for the Food God bloomed in his heart. It was very surprising to know that the Food God was able to win the heart of such a person.
Ellie continued to walk to where the crowd was amidst the blood that seeped through the ground from the hell created on earth. However, her next words shocked everyone present.
“Everyone should retreat.”
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
Everyone understood what Ellie meant. She asked them to retreat because she knew that she would have a hard time dealing with this opponent.
“Your Majesty Ellie, we can’t just leave you behind,” Genie, who’s left arm had been cut off, said.
However, Ellie said frostily, “Get out of my way.”
Genie bit her lips. She already knew that Ellie would say this. If they continued to stay here then…
‘Everyone might die.’
It was alright for the foreigners to die, but the NPCs did not have infinite lives. Ellie did not like to see her precious little brother, Minhyuk, sad. That was why she told them to leave.
Then, a man suddenly appeared in front of Genie.
“That’s right, you’ll get in the way, so leave.”
There was no one in the entire Asgan Continent who did not know of this man’s name. He was a man that was as famous as Sword Emperor Ellie. Ellie might have awakened, becoming an Absolute Supreme NPC and left him behind, but the fact that he was one of the current era’s strong people in the Asgan Continent was undeniable.
This man was none other than Collodis Empire’s Emperor, Asvon.
Collodis Empire’s Emperor Asvon was the strongest in the history of the empire and was one of the Supreme NPCs. The people not only call him ‘God’ but ‘God of Power, Asvon’.
“This is our fight.”
The Eivelis and Collodis Empires were two great mountains that maintained the balance of Asgan Continent. And these two great mountains had joined hands to protect the continent. Not long after, the more than 10,000 troops that they brought along appeared. Each and every single one of these soldiers were prepared to give their life and die on the battlefield.
“That’s right. You’ll just disturb us. Go away.”
At that moment, a man slung his sword on his shoulder while wrapping a chain on his wrist. This man was none other than the Great and Evil Pirate, Gorfido.
“You’ll probably need my help to buy some time, right?”
“…?”
“…???”
“Great Pirate Gorfido…” Someone in the crowd murmured while Ellie and Asvon were looking at Gorfido in confusion.
“…!”
“…!”
Ellie and Asvon’s eyes widened in shock. They might not know what he looked like, but they knew how notorious Gorfido was from the tales that they have heard from the other continents. Then…
Step, step—
“All of you should go.”
Elpis stepped forward as he looked at the fallen Asura. Everyone here knew that Elpis was an existence that would not lose against Emperor Asvon or Gorfido. Asura truly did not have the qualifications to discuss the strong of this era. After all, Elpis and Gorfido have not yet vied for any position among them.
Meanwhile, Genie could only bite her lips.
‘Sorry.’
As she looked around her, Genie finally made the inevitable decision, “As His Majesty’s representative, I command you!”
“Yes, ma’am!”
“Yes, ma’am!”
The men of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom immediately heeded Genie’s orders.
“Retreat at your fastest speed!!!”
“Co, Conir doesn’t want to go… Conir wants to fight together!”
“I won’t go. Let’s…!”
“Grrrrrrr!”
“Graaaaaaaaa!”
“Groooooar!”
Plenty of them expressed their refusal to follow the order. However, Genie just pulled out a sword and pointed at them while saying, “Refusing to accept my orders is also the same as refusing His Majesty’s orders.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Everyone could see how the sword in her hand trembled. None of them could deny that this order was made for the sake of everyone, and not for herself alone.
“The advance party will follow Kimaris and retreat quickly. Elpis and Gorfido must retreat once the advance party has retreated. Do you understand?!”
“…Under…stood…”
“We will do so.”
Genie’s decision was the most rational choice. They had to leave Elpis and Gorfido while their advance party retreated to stall for time. Also…
“Players, stay with me.”
“We have received your orders!!!”
“We have received your orders!!!”
“We have received your orders!!!”
As if they have been waiting for Genie’s orders, the guild members of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom shouted with firm resolve. Unlike the NPCS, they had unlimited lives. That was why they would fight. They would fight here until the very end.
Meanwhile, Genie was also giving commands in their guild chat.
[Vice Guild Master Genie: Guys, we have to give our all to protect Emperors Ellie and Asvon, Elpis and Gorfido once the slightest hint of danger comes their way.]
[Khan: That’s only natural.]
[Locke: No worries, no no, this tanker-like body of mine is very strong.]
[Ascar: Please rest assured. ^__^]
[Ali: Frieeeeeeeeend!]
The orders that Genie gave them were very gruesome and harrowing. She had ordered her members to protect the NPCS at the cost of their own lives. Even so, they were all very willing to follow her orders.
Then, four people, Elpis, Gorfido, Ellie, and Asvon, immediately stepped forward. The guild members naturally took charge of the support troops behind them.
“Interesting.”
A voice rang from Asura’s separated head as it rolled back to his body and stitched itself back up.
Crack, crack, crack—
The strange sound of bones cracking and twisting rang loudly before Asura slowly stood up. His eyes flashed red.
“I haven’t said that anyone could leave here alive.”
Asura slashed his greatsword towards the retreating troops of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.
Baaaaaaaaang—
The red sword light flew so fiercely and strongly that it even dug the ground that it passed through.
Flaaaash—
Ellie moved swiftly as she cut down the sword light. With another step, she was already in front of Asura. That was how great a figure Sword Emperor and Continental Emperor Ellie was.
However, one strike from Asura’s greatsword and three attacks hit Ellie.
Clang, clang— clang—!
Surprisingly enough, Asura’s crude and rough strike was blocked by a single sword strike.
Claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—!
In fact, Ellie was even pressuring him.
[Overlord’s Swordsmanship Chapter 2. Lion’s Stretch.]
Ellie raised her sword.
Baaaaaaaaang—
But Asura’s greatsword was still one step faster than her. Before Ellie could finish triggering her skill, Asura had already struck her raised sword and nullified it, which he immediately followed with a strike of his own.
Clatter, clatter, clatter—
Gorfido’s chains immediately stretched out and bound Asura’s wrists.
“This kind of trick…” Asura said in shock after realizing that his wrists could not break away from the chains that bound it.
With that gap, Ellie triggered another skill.
“Sword of Annihilation.”
More than a thousand eight-meter-long blades flew out from Ellie’s sword, releasing a sharp momentum that aimed to devour Asura. Then…
Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh—
…the thousands of blades slashed Asura’s bodies, riddling it with wounds.
Piiiiiing—
Ping—
Ping—
Red blood dripped down Asura’s body, dying it in a deeper shade of red. However, Asura was cackling, “Keuhahahaha! Interesting! This is fun!!!”
The cackling Asura, with his body covered in slashes, looked horrifyingly grotesque. However, the red blood that dripped down his injuries suddenly turned into red beads that got sucked back inside his body.
[Asura has triggered Absorption.]
[Asura’s HP has been restored to 100%.]
[Asura has become 2% more powerful.]
“…?!”
Ellie was left dumbfounded. The more they attacked Asura, the stronger he became!
“What kind of dog shit…?!”
Ellie’s face turned ugly.
“Scattering Blood.”
A vortex made of blood suddenly formed around Asura. This blood vortex released him from Gorfido’s chain and blocked Elpis and Asvon’s approach, who were trying to sneak in from behind him. Then, Asura immediately flew to the skies as he looked around and said, “None of you will leave this place alive.”
Vwoooooooooooooong—
Just like when Crazy Tyrant Akhan summoned Asura, the gigantic Gates of Hell once again appeared in the skies.
But the one that summoned this Gates of Hell was none other than Asura himself. When the gates opened, hundreds, no, thousands of warriors covered in flames appeared. Each and every single one of them held spears, axes, swords and many other weapons.
[The Hell Warriors from the Gates of Hell that Asura has summoned have awakened to this world!]
[Hell Warrior. Level 596.]
The number of Hell Warriors that surpassed the level of any decent knight in the continent reached 4,000. Their levels were almost at 600 and they were also riding on top of gigantic black horses.
“Kill them.”
“Hihihihihihing!”
The black horses neighed loudly as they stomped on the skies and chased the fleeing Beyond the Heavens troops. Asura snorted when he saw the people on the ground look at him in fear and terror. But he was not yet done.
Fwooooooooooosh—
“Blood Carnival.”
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaa—
The blood that dyed the ground red suddenly floated in the skies as shocking notifications rang in the ears of everyone present.
[Asura’s Blood Carnival has been triggered!]
[Asura’s Blood Carnival covers a 200 meter radius and will inflict 3,200% additional damage.]
[If you get directly hit by Asura’s Blood Carnival, your HP will fall by 2% per second. Only a high-ranking priest’s blessing magic can cancel this condition.]
“Heok?!”
“A, a 200 meter radius?!”
The knights of Eivelis and Collodis Empires realized that they would be wiped out in this place without even fighting a proper battle. Even the retreating Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s troops were shocked. They have never heard or seen any skill that covered a 200 meter radius in their entire lives.
Tens of thousands of blood drops spread in the skies.
Baaaaaaaang—
Baaaaaaaang—
“I can’t break it…”
“Damn it!”
The four people below Asura tried their best but failed to break the bloody shield that was created around them. It seemed like Asura intended to deal with them after killing all of the people present in this place with his Blood Carnival.
As for AOE magic skills like this, they could only be canceled or stopped if a tremendous amount of physical damage had been dealt to the user. However, it seemed like Asura already knew about it so he prepared the shield in advance. Everyone was shocked stiff at this realization.
“Uwaaaa…”
“W, we’ll die…”
Everyone trembled in fear. Only Ellie, Gorfido, Elpis, and Asvon would be spared from that terrible power. As for the injured, including Conir and Cerberus, they would not be spared. But then, at that moment…
[Guild Master Minhyuk: I’m here. Sorry, I’m late.]
Genie looked around in haste.
[Vice Guild Master Genie: Where? Where are you? The situation right now…]
Then, Minhyuk answered.
[Guild Master Minhyuk: The sky.]
“…?”
Just when Genie was doubting her eyes, a very surprising thing happened. Thousands of undead suddenly rained down from the skies. There were also two Death Knights wearing golden full plate armor and holding light swords, which seemed to illuminate everything in the world, in their hands dropped in front of the Hell Warriors and confronted them. Then…
“Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!”
Amidst the thousands of undead, a gigantic red dragon roared as one of the men riding on the dragon’s back jumped down. The man’s figure as he dived with the thousands of undead was very spectacular.
And the place where the man was aiming for with his sword? It was none other than the place where Asura was.
“Continent Destroyer.”
