Chapter 708: Meeting Death
Death opened a small pocket dimension and hid the heart of the mother of all Dragons in it so that he could properly greet his guests.
...
\'Death is moving I\'ll signal you guys once we have him distracted.\' Tenma spoke to Skatt through Telepathy.
"Everyone get ready he\'s about to appear before us." Blod who was in human form shouted at the others.
Frieda took out some gauntlets that had been enhanced by rune magic as well as the power of Dragons. On the other hand, Erste kept his equipment the same as before and took out the sword he used to slay numerous Gods.
"Troth udoka de whedabra," Tenma spoke using the language of Dragons creating a sphere of light surrounding the bodies of him and his companions. The very second he was done the entire place became dark, the only thing the four of them could see was each other\'s light.
It wasn\'t just darkness, right now they felt a frigid sensation throughout their bodies. While the three tensed up, Erste was getting excited. This unknown feeling that was mixed with dread and excitement was more intense than the time he faced the Old God who represented fear.
"Hello visitors, welcome to my kingdom. I wonder what are living people like you doing here?"
The voice that spoke felt wrong to hear, the two humans could understand every word said but there was still something wrong, the voice was neither male nor female, it sounded something else entirely.
"You should know why we\'re here you thief!" Blod who was in human form roared.
"Well has it been a millennia already? No, it has only been a century or two since the last time any Dragon came to try and take what is mine."
When the two Dragons heard what Death said even in their human forms they roared menacingly and angrily at Death.
"Oh, another surprise usually after I say those words you Dragons would pounce at me like wild beasts. Even more surprising than that is that you prideful creature whose strength is only second to us Ancients would actually cooperate with humans."
"Are you like those other b*stard Gods that think we\'re prey to be hunted?" Frieda was holding back her anger as she spoke.
"You misunderstood me human, if it was before I would not look down on you but instead felt a little jealous of you humans, but now after expelling those things and strengthening myself with the heart of the Mother of all Dragons, I have no opinions about you humans at all. Still, it is a fact that among the three intelligent races you humans are considerably weaker.
So to see the prideful Dragons asking help from those weaker than them is truly surprising."
The very second Death was done speaking someone laughed everyone looked at the person who suddenly left and it was none other than Erste.
"HAHAHAHA!!! That\'s hilarious you call us a weak race? I have killed hundreds of the so-called Gods and I don\'t think that they\'re anything special."
"The Gods that you have killed were nothing much, by your standards they should only be children that haven\'t even become adults so in some sense what you have killed are all children."
"... Is that so?... Then after I kill you, that should prove that humans aren\'t so weak." The battle intent of Erste was rising as he was trying so hard to not attack at this moment.
Even the darkness had no eyes Erste could feel that Death was staring right at him, he was staring so intensely.
"Hmm... I see... You do have the qualifications to speak like that, but even if you do somehow kill me it doesn\'t prove anything. Humans will still be a weak race and you\'ll just be one of the few anomalies of the race called human."
"Enough words, are you going to give back our Mother\'s heart or not?!" Blod interrupted the conversation between the two as he once again roared.
"Why should I give back what is already mine?"
"Alright then since he doesn\'t want to give it back peacefully, then we need to take it back by force!" Erste no longer held back as his aura burst out with a mix of mana and the power from the sea of chaos. "Allow me to show you a new technique I created to deal with you Gods! This was one I hadn\'t named yet so let\'s call it [nameless]!"
Erste shuttled upward and when he was above his three companions a huge amount of mana and the power from the sea of chaos merged with each other which Erste poured into his weapon. Normally with the properties of the sword that cuts at mana, the mana Erste pours would weaken but with the power of the sea of chaos, there was no such side effect.
Once Erste had gathered enough power he swung his sword in a way that made it look like he was dancing with it.
Frieda and even the Dragons were captivated by Erste\'s dance and once he was done the darkness surrounding them had visible slash marks and then it burst out. The darkness had dissipated for a few seconds but then returned like nothing happened.
"Heh, so even slashing at every corner can\'t destroy you."
"That was impressive human, still, if you want to kill me you need to at least have the power to destroy this entire kingdom of mine. For as long as my kingdom stands I am eternal."
Erste gripped his sword even tighter as a vicious smile appeared on his face. It was then the power from the void once again entered Erste who summoned the blade formed from his very soul.
"Then I\'ll destroy you and your entire kingdom of Death!"
