Reincarnated Lord: I can upgrade everything! - Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Into The Spirit World (Final Battle 3/3)
Puchi!

The condensed air, in the form of a slightly transparent javelin, opened a hole in Asher’s right thigh as it flung him some meters backward.

Loki squinted. “Your Kryos frost might be powerful but the element of air is superior!”

It lunged forth, about to chomp down on Asher but he held its beak with both hands and for the first time, Loki screamed.

It could feel the ice spreading into its body, painfully hardening its internal muscles. Loki shook his body with all his might, struggling to throw Asher away but he remained stuck to it.

Asher’s golden eyes became like those of a predator, causing Loki’s eyes to sink.

“Let me go!”

He flung his head upward, throwing Asher into the air. Midair, Asher’s eyes became pure white and a woman clad in crimson armor appeared.

Shing!

She unsheathed her swords, the plume on her helmet dangling as she cut off Loki’s wing and planted the other dagger into Loki’s abdomen!

The general screamed but received a heavy blow from Asher, who borrowed the momentum of his fall to slam its head.

Boom!

Loki’s fall made the dust of the earth rise. Ariel lifted up her swords to pierce through Loki’s head but she sensed a dangerous presence behind her.

Swiftly, she turned and crossed her swords in a defensive posture. Seeing that the attack she expected did not come, Ariel squinted, staring at the huge white wolf calmly staring back at her.

“Sirius.” Her eyes shook.

Grr!

Sirius exposed his tooth as he began to growl. In a blink of an eye, he was already before her. Unfortunately, his claws were deflected by her swords and he received a knee blow to his jaws and without an opportunity to rest, there came a crimson sword light!

Sirius burst into flames and unleashed a torrent of crimson flames from his mouth but a wave of force protected Ariel.

She stood in the midst of the flames, undeterred and in a calm state of mind. Just as she was about to move, Asher’s palm held her right shoulder.

“He’s mine.”

Both of them stared into their white eyes for a brief moment. Ariel finally nodded.

Swoosh!

Asher dashed toward Sirius, his mana completely unveiled. His extreme cold doused Sirius’ flames to the extent that the already burning flames became warm to those around!

Growling, Sirius dashed toward Asher. Never did they ever imagine that a day would come when they would be against each other in a battlefield.

Never did Asher imagine he would raise his sword against Sirius nor did Sirius think of nurturing a murderous intent for his master.

Slanted, jagged ice rose from the ground and made him stuck, allowing Asher to sheath his sword.

Ice covered his right and left arms, from the shoulder down to the fingers. His knuckles were fortified to deal piercing damages and Sirius felt it from the punch Asher landed on the right part of its face.

Howling in pain and rage, Sirius increased his size from 7 feet to 9 feet, breaking the ice in the process.

‘Sorry, buddy.’

Asher said. Right then, the knights appeared, throwing chains around Sirius and exerting their power.

Asher remembered using this tactic when Sirius underwent one of his painful evolutions. Then, gold-ranked knights held him but not eight knights, most of whom were sacred and saintly, struggled to keep Sirius in place.

“He’s about to grow again, pierce his heart!” Eder bellowed.

‘He’s moving too much. If I try that and miss, Sirius will die.’

With this in mind, Asher took the chains held by Mahil and Mushi, the weakest amongst the eight, entwined them, and dragged them with all his might.

Boom!

His monstrous strength forced Sirius to tilt downward but the wolf struggled with all its might even as the chains damaged its limbs!

“It’s mad!” Jed gasped, thinking of letting go and fleeing as Sirius was slowly overpowering them.

Asher scanned the battlefield, searching for Lamech only for him to find the Volibear engaged in a battle thousands of yards away with Belial.

The explosions of their battles alone changed the terrain! Lightning and thunder fell like the rain yet Belial had the upper hand.

Maybe…That giant snake had actually faced a dragon, won against it, and even swallowed it!

Averting his gaze, he saw Ariel floating midair inside a windball.

She flew toward him, her eyes cold and emotionless. Stretching forth her right arm, her palm folded inward and Sirius faltered.

Ariel had used her blood control on his heart!

This gave the knights the opportunity to tighten their hold. Sirius also felt weak, causing his size to reduce until he was about 5 feet.

Hatred boiled in its crimson eyes as it glared at the human standing right before it. This human was none other than Asher.

Asher pulled Ithamar from its sheath and instantly, his fingernails became hardened claws, as did his right arm turn crimson.

But it stopped there for Ariel placed her palm on his back, resisting Ithamar along with him.

Lifting the blade, Asher plunged the entire blade into Sirius’ heart!

“No!”

A scream came from far away. Without a doubt, it was from Belial!

With his teeth clenched and his eyes filled with hope, Asher pulled Ithamar out.

Both his eyes, Ariel’s and that of the knights, widened with disbelief when they saw Ithamar had no bloodstain and there was no wound on Sirius!

“What kind of sword is that?!” Jed muttered to himself.

Ariel vanished with a soft smile hidden under her crimson helmet.

“We did it.” Merari fell on his knees.

However, in that moment, a pressure higher than any they’ve faced fell upon them.

It was Kirin, Belial’s undefeated general!

Alex looked at Asher, who was on his knees after sheathing Ithamar. That cursed weapon had taken a great toll on his lord’s mind.

“I’ll hold it back. Take His Lordship away and keep him safe until Sirius awakens.”

Alex rose into the air as he ordered like a true BloodBlade for the first time since he arrived in the spirit world.

“Alex…”

Asher gazed at him. Alex smiled. “You must live for everyone waiting on the other side.”

With a single flap of his wings, Alex was far away from them.

Crackle!

A lightning spear flew past Alex. Unfortunately, Kirin grabbed the spear with his sharp tooth and crushed it!

This dissolved the thoughts of valiantly facing Kirin from the minds of the knights as they considered doing as Alex had said.

It took more than bravery to face Kirin. And an undying loyalty was greater than casual bravery.

“Is this foolishness or an insult?” Kirin thought. Alex’s figure reflected in his pupils, the same pupils that had seen Volibears, which he had slain and ripped their heads off.

The earth imploded as Kirin shot forward, clashing with Alex’s sword! The impact sent Alex crashing into the ground.

He looked at Asher, who forced himself to his feet and his conviction grew stronger as faces of those in Ashkelon flashed through his eyes.

“Take him away!”

Ignoring the pains of his aching body, Alex assumed a proper stance, unleashing his force to its limit.

“Argh!”

They clashed again and he was pinned to the ground with a tremendous shockwave spreading outward along with a violent wave of dust.

Grr!

Kirin looked down at the bloodied human who didn’t consider that he had no proper armor.

“Die!”

Just as he was about to smash Alex’s head, a golden lightning bolt fell from the sky, causing Alex’s body to arch as his eyes turned pure gold!

A giant golden phantom, one that had massive wings crackling with lightning and a gleaming white apparel, stood behind him.

Kirin with eyes as wide as saucers stared at Alex, whose hair had turned golden, his skin whiter than snow and a formidable energy erupted from him.

Boom!

It was as if the entire world quaked, lightning flashing on the surface of the earth and eradicating over 30 percent of Belial’s army!

“The awakening of another messenger…!” Kirin couldn’t believe his eyes because the man before him had evolved into the very same being that…

Killed the First Men!

He had become… A messenger of God!
