Lord Shadow-Chapter 1434 The Winner

Azief look at Hikigaya and Jean and then he asks

'What do you think the purpose here?' They did not answer because they do not know.

'We have to investigate first. There is too much confusion. I…also do not understand what the perpetrator is intending to achieve' Jean said

Azief nodded and then the three of them suddenly disappeared from the area. Only the sign of the space being disturbed shows that they were here just now.

Amidst the panicking and dazed crowd, there is someone who is smiling and he simply mutter s to himself

'Like I thought, that person underestimate those three too much'

Looking around him, there is great destruction. But, there is little death. Maybe even nonexistent.

Those three Divine Comprehension leveler easily solve such a mass attack.

From the Dome of Arturia to the city of Arturia itself, Death Monarch needs only to waves his hand to turns every flames into wind.

'But, at least the world would now know. And, the demonstration is good enough'

'After all, it is not like these three people would always be able to come and go everywhere in the world. It is not like in the past'

'Now, he just need to take responsibility about this matter and the plan will be completed'

The one saying this is none other than a senator of the Republic, a devious smile on his face that is quickly wiped out from his face.

At the same time that this was happening, on a half destroyed island, there is someone who is holding a trident. His entire body is bloodied. But there is a smile on his face.

He is kneeling on the ground, the trident on his hand. He grips the trident and slowly tries to get up.

Using the trident as a hold, he pushes himself up.

Standing, he looks around him.

There is a sight of desolation.

Thousands of acres of forest were disintegrated, the entire terrain is unrecognizable, with scorched ground and pit hole the size of a large craters all over.

The energy around him is distorted and the space around him is not stable. Around twenty feet away from him is a large dragon sprawled over a long distance.

The dragon is bleeding in many places, an arrow on one of its large eyes, his side is torn open.

But that dragon is still breathing and one of its eyes is still looking at him.

Before he could even steady himself, a voice comes from behind.

'Don't you feel glad that you allied with me, Raymond? '

Haish' a sighing sound escape his mouth. The one holding the trident is none other than Raymond.

And behind him is Void.

He no longer has that robe on him.

Instead, there is an iron armor all over his body. But most of the iron armor has been destroyed. And Void himself has a lot of injuries.

Kaiju is not easy to defeat. Even Void with all of his armor could not stand that many punches by someone that is probably descended from the dragon race

'Where is Sofia?' he asked.

'I don't have super vision like you guys. But, since Loki is here, if Sofia really is in mortal danger, I think that he would move from Narwhal and save her. Since he did not move, it means Sofia might just be hurled onto some hills or mountain in this island. She is safe, I guess'

There is silence between them both before Raymond suddenly asked

'Now it I only you and me' Void walk closer to Raymond and said

'So?'

Raymond then ask

'You want the trident?'

Void smiles and then shakes his head

'I wanted it at first. The Oracle also wanted me to have it. But I don't find it fun. How about it? You agree to my deal? '

Raymond face tightened.

'I help you and you help me…...somewhere along the line.

'When will this some when will be?'

'Who knows? Maybe I would never check out this favor. Or maybe, I would ask your help tomorrow. Maybe, someday I will forget about this deal. Still, I find it more interesting for you to be owing something to me. The mighty Earthshaker in the debt of me, Void. That sounds a bit more appealing to me'

Void laughed like madman. Raymond is sure he would never meet someone like Void again. Someone who treats benefits and interest like this.

For someone who wanted profit and avoid losses, at least he could understand such a person.

A little bit heartless, yes, but he could understand such a person

But Void…. does not work according to normal routine

He is not stupid, he is just crazy in his demeanor and his action.

He is chaos.

The trident in his hand right now could control all the seas in the world. Even though he did not yet use it, the moment he held the trident he could feel the power.

After almost an hour fighting, the victor of this trident is Raymond.

Holding the trident, there is a weird feeling to it. A certain sense of familiarity, a sense of belonging, that this trident holds the opportunity for him to break through to higher levels

It is an instinct that suddenly appears in his heart and once this feeling appeared, it could no longer be erased

'What a magical object' he thought to himself

He could feel the power of the sea, holding it he could hear a song, a Song that Erika always hears, the Song of the Earth, the Song of the Sea.

This song that he hears had, only the sound of waves and the living things that is inside the sea

It is nothing much. But this sound is no mere sound and hearing it brings out all kinds of feeling.

To people who could not hear it, they would only listen to the sound of the waves, the cries of the large fishes, and they would her nothing more and think nothing of it

But what he hears and what he feels is something not many people in this world could understand

A sound that is more than just song, a song that is of the most sublime and beautiful sound an ear could hear.

Unpredictable, calm at times, stormy in another, each waves have its story, each cries have its cause and effect, life and death seems to coexist and all of it is expressed in this song that only he could hear.

And he wishes that such a song could also be heard by other people.

Those who could not hear it, Raymond pity them.

The Song sometimes calms his heart, sometime bring his heart to a halt, sometimes brings him a feeling of anxiety.

All kinds of feeling are stirred but it did not wreck him instead it is like making him understand himself.

It did not allow him to get addicted to it but instead to be entranced by it, like e is caught in a magic spell.

What a magical sound! What a magical Song!

These emotions, these contradictory feeling and understanding of these songs…. all of it, is the fa?ade of the Song.

Taking different persona, taking different sound, and all of it is still the Song of the Sea, the Song of the Earth and the Song of everything in between.

Raymond hears this sound and for a moment he forgot his pain but then he focused back on his current situation

And his current situation is bad,

He sighed and tries to stand up straight but he feels his knees are weak. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

'Fuck!' he curses. His feet lost a chunk of meat when he was clawed by Kaiju fingers.

It is healing but not as fast as he would like it

He laughed and he feel pain on his rib.

Even with the help of Void, the blessing of the Heavenly Will, he was reduced to this state.

'Kaiju is really a monster' now that he had fought Kaiju, there is only one person that Raymond could compare him to.

That person. The tall mountain that everyone wanted to climb over

Death Monarch Azief.

Fighting Kaiju reminded him when he fights against Death Monarch, that power of ultimate suppression and dominating battle style.

It reminded him of Azief very much.

But if there is a difference

Kaiju is like a rabid animal. And Azief is like a silent predator that would quickly maul you to death, rarely giving you any chance.

But if there is a similarity between the two, it is that they both gives their enemy this feeling of despair and fear as they fight.

This is high evaluation from Raymond. Kaiju is a worthy opponent.

It is a pity they stand on different side. Raymond then look toward the distance

'I hope she is fine'

Sofia was also flung far away from this area. Void fall not far away from him but his injury is only a few compare to them both.

Raymond sighed a she looked at Kaiju body that is now morphing back to his humanoid form.

If not for Void, he is quite sure, he would lose in that battle.

Void neutralize all the divine power that Kaiju has. It is amazing how Void could do this kind of feat unconsciously.

'Kaiju is too dangerous of a monster'

Raymond said as he walks toward Kaiju.

He heard rumors that Kaiju could not die. Is that really the truth? Or is it because no one managed to push him to the point of dying?

He really wanted to see if Kaiju really could not be killed. Even though he is weak right now, winning, gives him the strength.

Raymond walk step by step, and he is heaving with each step. Void could also see what Raymond is doing but he did not follow. Instead, he looks toward the shore. There is Loki looking at him and the Oracle.

He had done everything that he wanted to do. Right now, there is a plan forming in his mind. He smiles and laughs and then fly toward the shore

Sofia is on top of a broken mountain. She is taking her breath and downing down the last reserve of Sina potion down her throat.

She keeps coughing and there is burns on her hand and on her face.

She did not mind it that much since she knows she could heal it later.

But that does not mean she does not feel the pain.

'Kaiju must be killed'

Sofia did not know the conclusion of the battle.

The last thing she remember was that she pulls one of her strongest arrow from her body, using all of her energy and shoot it toward Kaiju.

That arrow pierce Kaiju energy protection and then struck straight to his eyes.

Kaiju then move his claws, a gravity locking state was applied to her and she was pulled towards his claw by some kind of invisible force.

If she was at full power, she might be able to break free from that gravity lock.

But the moment she releases that arrow, her realms fell to Energy Disperse stage level of energy. Raymond then attack Kaiju claws and Kaiju in pain chuck her away. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Then she collided with the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain exploded and buried her under an avalanche of rocks and sands.

That is the last thing she remember.

Now, she slowly stands up.

'What kind of fire, Kaiju spew out from his mouth? Sofia said she stands up while using the walls of stones around her to stabilizes her footing.

Even though she drinks the potions, the potions did not alleviate some of her most serious injuries.

She realizes that she is in some kind of cave like place.

? It must be the place where she fell down after the avalanche push her and buried her. She did try to dig her way out and so she came out inside this cave.

She takes a few breaths and she took the energy around her to quickly heals her injury and replenish her energy.

It did not take long before she has enough energy to walk steadily.

Punching up and down, in a few minutes she is on the surface again. She looks in front of her and then she saw in the distance a sight of great destruction.

There is still the scent of something burning in the air.

'The battle is over' she said and there is a smile on her face.

Because she knows who the winner is.

It is Raymond.

The reason she knows is simple.

Because in the sky, there is no dragon.

She jumps up, and then turning into streak of light that resemble an arrow, she flew with her fastest speed toward the direction of that smoking area.
