Reincarnated With Three Unique Skills - Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Defeat
RUMBLE!!!

The two forces collided, creating a massive shockwave that flattened everything in its path.

“Run!”

Panic spread through the battlefield as people, with broken and injured bodies, scrambled to save themselves from the devastating aftermath of the SS Rank clash.

Emperor Kairos was forced to retreat, crashing to the ground under the overwhelming force of Aengus’ attack.

Now lying in a deep crater, Kairos rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He looked up, only to find Aengus standing tall and unharmed, the immense power of the Abyssal Dragon radiating around him.

The golden sword in Kairos’ hand vibrated intensely, its energy struggling to match the raw power emanating from the dragon.

Kairos’ heart sank as realization dawned on him—Aengus’ strength far surpassed his own. Even his SS Rank Fusion Skill, once deemed unbeatable, was now rendered useless against the might of the Abyssal Dragon.

“Roar!”

Aengus flapped his colossal, blazing wings, creating a powerful gust of heat and wind as he dived toward Emperor Kairos, determined to end the battle.

Kairos, gritting his teeth, raised his golden sword high once more, letting its divine energy surge through him. The golden glow intensified, boosting his strength threefold.

“CLANG!”

The massive tip of Aengus’ claw collided with the golden sword, sending shockwaves rippling through the battlefield.

For a moment, to Kairos’ immense relief, they were locked in a stalemate.

“Roar!”

“Die!”

But Aengus wasn’t finished. Multicolored chaos energy began to swirl around him, engulfing his massive claws. The energy crackled with destructive force as his claws pressed harder against the golden sword, slowly breaking through its divine protection.

Kairos’ eyes flashed with fear. He knew if he relented even for a second, those claws would tear through him like paper.

Desperate, he activated every boost and berserk-related skill he had, pushing his body and power to the absolute limit. But even as his strength surged, it was not enough to match the overwhelming force of the Abyssal Dragon.

Aengus’ massive, cold, and unfeeling eyes stared straight into Kairos’ soul, sending a chill through his body despite the scorching heat around him.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The sound of the golden sword splintering grew louder. Despite all his efforts, Kairos couldn’t stop the inevitable. The golden sword, his last bastion of hope and strength, now filled with cracks, teetering on the brink of shattering into pieces.

Kabooom!

Finally, the golden sword shattered into countless fragments, leaving Emperor Kairos’ chest completely exposed.

With unstoppable momentum, Aengus’ razor-sharp claws tore through Kairos’ chest as effortlessly as a knife slicing through butter.

“Argh!”

A guttural scream erupted from Emperor Kairos as unbearable pain coursed through his body. The chaos energy left behind by Aengus’ strike churned inside him, corroding his flesh inch by inch.

His once-proud and domineering figure now looked horrifying—his chest a mess of burned and torn flesh, his expression contorted in agony. Soldiers on both sides swallowed hard, unable to imagine the excruciating pain their once-unshakable leader was enduring.

But one fact was undeniable: Emperor Kairos, who had entered the battlefield as an overwhelming force, had now been reduced to a pitiful shadow of his former self.

The three generals were still alive but battered and bloodied. They felt a wave of relief as they witnessed Kairos’ fall. The tides of the battle had shifted.

And in the eerie silence that followed, all eyes turned to the scene where the true victor of this war was being decided.

—

“Your Imperial Majesty, should we intervene?” Rindel asked hesitantly.

“No, even I am not certain I could match this beast now,” the old elf replied, his tone resolute.

Both of them wore grave expressions as they continued to watch Aengus’ transformation unfold.

The sheer presence of the dragon left no room for doubt—it was a force beyond their comprehension. Because of this, they immediately abandoned the idea of abducting Aria.

The beast likely possessed heightened senses now, and provoking it would only invite catastrophe upon their empire. They understood this all too well, having witnessed Aengus’ fierce protectiveness toward her with their very own eyes.

“Then how should we address his growing ambitions, Your Majesty? I am certain that one day he will come after us as well,” Rindel pressed cautiously.

The Demi-Human Emperor fell into deep thought, his expression heavy.

“We’ll need to consult the Council to devise a possible solution, Rindel. Let’s not linger here any longer. We may also need to reach out to the other Emperors if necessary. The demons were already a grave issue, and now this abomination… the future of our empire looks increasingly uncertain,” the Emperor declared grimly.

“Your Majesty is wise! We indeed must act swiftly to find a solution,” Rindel replied respectfully, bowing his head.

Inwardly, they both sought to reassure themselves. Their departure was not out of fear for their lives, but rather a strategic withdrawal. They convinced themselves that they would return stronger and better prepared.

For now, however, they vanished from the edge of the battlefield like smoke dissipating into the air.

—

Aengus gazed down at Emperor Kairos, his piercing eyes filled with cold fury.

“For daring to kill my beloved, you will face a death more painful than you can imagine,” Aengus declared, his deep, resonating voice sending shockwaves through the air as he loomed over the fallen Emperor.

Without hesitation, he unleashed a stream of world-corrosive venom, a substance so potent that its mere touch brought agony beyond comprehension.

“Ahhh… Save me, Your Excellency!” Kairos screamed, his voice filled with desperation as the venom seared through his body, inflicting torment he had never known.

The Emperor roared to the heavens, pleading for salvation from the gods he had devoted his life to.

But no god came to his rescue.

Kairos’ heart sank, his faith shattered. Was his devotion worth nothing to them? he thought, bitterness consuming him as his strength began to wane.

With his life slipping away, Emperor Kairos managed to lift his gaze to the colossal dragon that had brought him to this state. The sight of Aengus, radiating unrelenting power, was the last image burned into his mind as despair overtook him.

“Hehe… heh…”

Emperor Kairos let out a deranged laugh as he was swiftly devoured, unable to escape his fate before vanishing from existence.
