Chapter 785 784: Tza'Orbias (1)
"Now, where were we? Ah, that's right... I was informing you pests about the road that I took to acquire the power I had today."
Tza'Orbias turned towards us and nodded, uncaring of the life it just took from one of its loyal followers and not showing an ounce of interest in the other Cultists that stood on the wall, ignoring them as it turned its attention back towards us.
"You see, many of my opponents love to tell me that explaining my success leaves me open to defeat, but all of them died to me, so... I have continued this, to relish the despair in your eyes as you begin to understand that my power... my vast sea of knowledge gathered over millennia, gathered through sheer determination and cleverness. To see the difference between you, the pests..."
Raising its arms, Tza'Orbias focused those cerulean eyes on each of us before flapping its wings hard, raising a gale that buffeted against us and forced us to plant our feet firmly on the ground.
"And me. Fiend of the Worlds Knowledge, Tza'Orbias!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFollowing that initial gale, another wall of pressure slammed into us, the mana laden sound pushing us back a step as the raven headed Fiend flaunted itself, pride lacing its posture and tone as it hovered there.
"I may not be an Arch Fiend yet, but when I mount Sla'Caligo's head on a pike and siphon the secrets from her pretty little brain, well... That will change, will it not?!"
Those beady eyes stabbed towards me, the raven's glare as it looked for the Arch Fiend hiding near me making me shudder as another, more compressed wave of sound threatened to cave in my chest.
However, Cali appeared in front of me and lazily waved her hand, sending the sound bouncing towards one of the buildings behind us, cratering its walls and sending an explosion of rubble onto the street.
lightsnοvεl "Will it? If the things required to take you from a mere Fiend to an Arch Fiend are the vast amount of sexual techniques and stories I have stored away for later, than by all means, let me show them to you... personally~?"
The seductive pink skinned woman giggled as she stared at the towering raven headed Fiend, uncaring of the malice that shone in its eyes as she displayed her sexy body freely, trying to entice the Tza Fiend.
"No~? Then shut up. You think a whelp like you could kill me? Someone who has begun to walk the path that that old bastard paved? I was there when it was paved; there when it was tested against me, against Ka'Hondi! You think you can use that, against ME?!"
Tza'Orbias tilted its head, before snorting as it replied "It is not our Sedis' path anymore. It is my own. I took our Sedis' brilliance and altered it. Created something new. Something meant for me, and me alone. Something that can, and will bring an Arch Fiend down to their knees. Something that I am more than confident to say will allow me to become an Arch Fiend, and eventually a Sedis myself! I shall lead the Tza back to their glory! And to start..."
The silver ring was pointed at Cali, the blue orb rotating lazily even as it gave off a ravenous aura that made its desire to consume all of our mana crystal clear.
"Well, I need to kill you and absorb your Lust Mana. Absorb your knowledge. You like to joke, to downplay your age, but I know you, Sla'Caligo. One of the oldest living Arch Fiends. Someone who could have been an Animus, yet someone who decided to cull the Fiends for no apparent reason! I shall do my fallen Fiends a service by killing you!"
"Magic won't be that effective against him. Only Fiendish Magics could circumvent that orb, and whilst I have an abundance of it, well... I'm not much of a fighter, now am I~? So this is going to be a battle of blades; a mana-less dance of death."
Cali ignored the Fiend as she looked towards Jahi, specifically at the blade in her hands as she added "Your Empress' Celestial Gold is strong enough to deal significant damage to a Fiend. And unless that orb opens up, magic can be used, so time your strikes and imbue that blade of yours with Light Mana and kill this bastard for me, alright~?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe raised her dainty pink hand and waved it to the side, redirecting the gale and making Tza'Orbias snarl in anger as it watched us from afar, its wings still flapping steadily behind its blue body.
"Enough! I shall absorb each and every single one of you! I shall finish what the Sedis started all those years ago and take more Demon blood for myself! I shall finish what Ka'Hondi refuses to do and claim the blood of the Asmodeucian's for myself! All of you! Each and every single one of you..."
Blinking forwards, the towering Fiend appeared in front of us and raised the silver ring, showing us the spinning blue orb that began to rotate faster and faster as it loomed over us.
"Shall become nothing but mana inside my orb! Die for me, so that I might ascend further! Allow me to rid this world of some pests!"
Like before, the orb cracked open and revealed a rune, this one far different from the other as it released a tidal wave of mana down onto us, forcing each of us to erect a barrier to protect ourselves as we were washed beneath this wave.
Crashing against the ground, the wave of mana that poured from the orb cracked the cobblestone and pulverized the stone a moment later, turning it to dust and making all of us blanch at the sheer power it displayed, our barriers holding up just a little better than the street as we strained ourselves, trying to keep ourselves from being squished into nothing on the ground.
Sadly, one of the Demons' mana wasn't strong enough, and the cracking of their barrier rang out on the empty street, followed closely by their shrill scream that was suddenly cut off, replaced instead by the wet squelching as their body was crushed beneath the immense pressure and reduced to a mangled mess.
