Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Blood Terror II

Ancestor looked at the upcoming scythe at his neck, and in a split second, he shifted his weight to the left. His neck was spared, but he lost his entire right arm.

Gritting his teeth, he jumped back while the red being picked up the arm and then its clean slate face expanded as it gulped the whole arm in one bite.

Crunch

A sickening crunching noise echoed as the red being chewed on the arm.

Ancestor gritted his teeth as he took out a pill and gulped it down. Soon, his arm began to regenerate and was back to new, but now Ancestor seemed more tired. The pill surely used a lot of his vitality, causing him to become tired.

Aiden, on the other hand, sighed in relief as he saw this and kept chanting. Eeh’liel, mid-air, nodded and then spread his arms as his chant was completed.

“Overlord,” his voice echoed as all the undead began to swarm to him, and then a tall black skeleton with a golden crown on its head was formed.

Its height was over 30 meters, with each hand holding a long blade.

Roarrrrr

It roared as it charged at the red being. It was now time for the red being to dodge once again. It began to move here and there while using the blood scythe to parry the attacks, but each heavy blow caused it to slip back as its body sustained injuries.

The red being shrieked in anger and drove the blood scythe into the ground, absorbing some blood from it to heal itself.

It then looked at the face of the black skeleton, and as the black skeleton attacked it, the red being jumped on its hand and began to climb up. Eeh’liel tried to swat it, but it nimbly dodged. Upon reaching the head, it swung the scythe at the crown, but its attempt was futile as a blade formed from the face of the overlord and pierced the red being, suspending it mid-air.

Eeh’liel smiled slightly as he saw the red being taking the bait. He then raised both of the overlord’s hands and clapped with the red being in between, aiming to squash it between the overlord’s hands.

The red being looked around and then swung its scythe, trying to break the blade impaling it to get out of the predicament. But its instincts screamed as it looked back and saw Ancestor aiming his fist at the back of its head.

“Dodge this, fucker!” Ancestor screamed as he delivered the Black Heaven Fist directly at the red being.

The red being’s head exploded as its body began to corrode from the Black Heaven poison. Ancestor then jumped away as the overlord closed its hands, squashing the red being between its bony fingers.

Eeh’liel even rubbed the two palms together, trying to squeeze the red being even more.

But then, various blood spikes pierced through the overlord’s palms, breaking them apart. The spikes then retracted back to the red being as it dropped to the ground, its once clean slate face now seeming to pant in exhaustion. Even the blood scythe was missing.

“He used all the blood to give himself a second body,” Eeh’liel said, answering everyone’s unspoken question.

“Then we just have to kill it one more time,” Ancestor said, and Eeh’liel nodded in agreement.

The red being looked around, trying to find something to help it escape the situation. But Eeh’liel didn’t give it any chance, firing another Death Star at it. The red being jumped to avoid it, but forgot it was homing and would either be destroyed or destroy its target.

While busy parrying Ancestor’s fists, the red being was suddenly struck from behind by a silent black pillar of light, half-melting its back. It shrieked in agony, but that wasn’t the end. Having lost its momentum, Ancestor launched another Black Heaven Fist at it.

This time, the attack hit its chest. “Regenerate from this, fucker,” Ancestor said, targeting the red being’s core—a blood orchid flower in the middle of its chest, exposed when it had created numerous spikes to escape the skeleton overlord’s hands.

The red being, in a desperate attempt to survive, rapidly pooled almost all of its remaining blood to create a shield around its core. The move was quick and timely, just enough to protect the vulnerable core from a fatal attack. Following this, the red being transformed into a compact red ball, rolling away with surprising speed, clearly trying to escape from its opponents.

As it attempted its escape, red luminous chains suddenly manifested around the ball. These chains, imbued with a potent energy, quickly ensnared the red being, preventing it from moving any further. The red ball struggled intensely, emitting high-pitched screeches of distress as it fought against the binding force of the chains. Despite its struggles, the chains held firm, effectively immobilizing it.

Aiden, witnessing the successful containment, breathed a sigh of relief. The tension that had gripped him loosened as he saw the red being’s frantic attempts to break free come to naught. Eeh’liel, intrigued by the luminous chains, approached them with a mix of curiosity and respect. He carefully touched the chains, his eyes narrowing in concentration. “This energy… it’s quite potent, even more so than my Decayed Star force,” he remarked, studying the chains closely. He began to analyze the energy, trying to understand the nature and origin of the powerful chains that had subdued such a formidable foe.

Ancestor, though initially curious about the chains, soon shifted his focus back to Aiden, who was observing the situation near the red being. With a contemplative expression, Aiden considered names for the restrained entity. “Let’s call it Blood Terror, or maybe Blood Borne,” he mused aloud, rubbing his chin thoughtfully as he considered the fitting name for the creature that had caused them so much trouble.

Myne, having watched the entire ordeal, finally spoke up, her voice carrying a tone of stern concern. “Don’t you ever do that again,” she scolded, her eyes fixed on Aiden. Her concern was palpable, and the sternness in her voice showed how much the recent events had affected her.

Aiden nodded, acknowledging her reprimand with a sheepish look. His relief was apparent, but so was his recognition of the danger he had faced. Meanwhile, Myne turned her attention to Astralium, giving him clear instructions. She emphasized the importance of being prepared and vigilant, instructing him to keep a watchful eye so that in future battles, they would not merely remain passive observers but actively assist Aiden. Astralium agreed, understanding the gravity of the situation and the need for immediate response in times of crisis.

With the immediate danger subdued, both Myne and Astralium retreated into the soul sea, the inner realm where the Martial Spirit Palaces resided. In this ethereal space, Myne approached the Golden Sword, a manifestation of her essence and power. Astralium, on the other hand, went towards the Death Dragon, his own Martial Spirit. Each of them began the intricate process of refining their Martial Spirits,while also honing their skills and powers to ensure they were better prepared for future confrontations.

Back to Aiden.

He looked at the Red being and then touching it he used Akashic Records on it.

“Hmm, it sure has some impressive abilities,” Aiden murmured as he placed his hand on the red being and began channeling the energy of the Death Dragon of Infinite Darkness into it.

The red being shrieked continuously as it felt its will being consumed by the infinite darkness. It thrashed violently, trying to break free from the chains binding it, but it was futile. The chains were known as the Small World Sealing Chains, and not even an immortal could break free from them. These chains were created by the Monarch of Eternal Gold to seal a gate deemed impossible to breach, and they remained secure in the world of Celestaria.

The only way to unlock these chains was either by the caster or by something capable of melting the ultimate gold that comprised them—a feat the Blood Terror certainly couldn’t accomplish. Despite its continued shrieking, the red being’s struggle gradually weakened as Aiden successfully made it his servant.

Now, Aiden had a true servant, the Blood Terror of Wrath.

“Whoa, to think I’d gain four True Servants just in the Spirit Realm,” Aiden thought as he removed the chains.

The blood began to change color, turning into a blackish-red hue. As Aiden let his blood drip onto it, the substance began to take shape, forming a being akin to Carnage but in a blackish-red color. The creature’s pale white eyes looked at Aiden as it bowed and said, “Master.”
