Chapter 64: Caught ya by surprise!
1053 Words
From the bright flash of light, a shadow of the Ancient One figure emerged, however, it's not really something that the Ancient One would like other people to see. His body is not completely whole anymore. The right hand that held the Greatsword, has been completely destroyed up to his shoulder...
Not only that, his Greatsword is also shattered to tiny pieces...
The Ancient One looked at Theo with eyes filled with hatred, his calmness is no more and his hatred for this uncertain future has gotten him going crazy. "You... Must be eliminated!!!"
"Oh, ain't that clear? I heard you the first time, no need for you to let out that sentence the second time!" Theo was ecstatic when he heard the Ancient One cursing him like that. Not to mention, to get the Ancient One seething like this, is the reason why Theo let himself be a ragdoll.
The Ancient One, although not human, has started to become more and more like a human because of the emotion that's surging because of Theo's action.
"Oh, how fall the Ancient One has fallen... To think that he would become more humanlike because of a mere God's action... Ain't that going to weaken your authority of creation?"
The Ancient One grip his left hand tightly to the point that the space around it started to shudder. Theo smiled big and then mock him even more.
"Come to think of it, are your Power of Creation only for show? You have yet to use it in an offensive manner. Could it be, you cannot use it offensively?"
After Theo says that, The Ancient One raises his hand and then immediately, a surge of storm appear on his left palm, it only took an instant yet the power is very powerful... Then in another instant, he shot that Powerful Storm that is brewing straight toward Theo's abdomen...
Theo smiled, knowing that he got another information that is crucial in this fight against the Ancient One. 'So he chose not to use it offensively because it's destructive... Then I guess he's truly want to preserve the universe.'
'Then it's all better for me. If you ain't gonna use that to attack. Then I'll get it for myself and use it to attack!'
Theo naturally put his palm toward the storm attack and then absorb it for himself...
"Catacylsm... I have encountered something I didn't want to encounter."
"Hah! Exactly! Do you think that I'm going against you without any plan? Obviously not. I am no dumbass."
"Catacylsm... You are an Ancient Beast that was made to keep the universe in check. I created you and let you eat worlds that is corrupted by those who lived in it. But now, you dared betray me." The Ancient One tries to communicate to the core of the Cataclysm that is within Theo's body.
But the one who replied to his calls is Theo, not the Catacylsm. "It's useless. Trying to call out to something that is already mine won't work. Not in a million year!"
Theo advance forward and then slam his hand toward the Ancient One's chest. Which is blocked by the Ancient One using his left hand as well. The two of them, activate the same storm technique that the Ancient One used earlier and then the two power collided...
Leaving both Theo hand and the Ancient One hand wounded with a hole in the center of their palm...
'Tch, so trying to go against the Ancient One directly like that cannot work huh....'
"Give it up, Ancient One. In this planet, you have no way of winning. So, I will let you off the hook if you gave me your authority over the Creation." Theo, saw the potential danger of letting this battle goes on.
With the Ancient One using his power on the offense due to his bullshit, Theo would have a hard time surviving his onslaught.
"... Me? Giving my power up to you? At this point, that might be the only logical reasoning for me to survive..." The Ancient One was willing to give Theo his power if it means that he survive.
Theo was surprised that the Ancient One agreed to it. Because he thought that there would be a lot more resistant for him. Theo was ready to go against him one more time to prove to him that why going against him is a bad idea.
But now, he has no need to...
"Well then, that's great. Now give me it." Theo reached his hand out and Ancient One did the same...
Theo shook the Ancient One's hand and then...
"Not so fast." The Ancient One grip on Theo's hand and he cannot let go of it... Then, 5 figures as strong as him, appear from the sky and one of them quickly goes down at the speed of light.
"Come on now, Little Theo. You really think that our lord is going to give you his prized possession? Also, the fact that you didn't detect us outside of your planet, means that you didn't know about our existence too!"
Theo's left arm, was cut entirely by a sword that is as cold as Lavi's Icy. Which is notorious to be colder than anything...
No blood came out from Theo. He just instinctively jumped back from danger and then assess the new danger...
'Oh crap... This is a whole lot dangerous than I expected now...'
Theo's face are now graves once again. He didn't expect for the Ancient One to have a backer like this. Dealing with him is hard enough. But dealing with 5 more beings who is focused solely on offense... That's not something that Theo want to do...
The 5 beings that supported the Ancient One, are not your normal being. As expected, they are as strong as Titan. But when it comes to fighting... They are stronger than Titan. Because they did not have a fear of death. As their sole reason of existing is to fight and die for the Ancient One.
They are the 5 Elder Beings that the Ancient One created to handle matters for him. Elder Sword, Elder Fist, Great Sage, Elder Spear, and Divine Assassin.
"My Elder against you and Titan. Which one is going to come out on top?"
