Chapter 229

The mist scampered like something was coming out. The ground rumbled and Jose sensed the presence of the creature. He had goosebumps about this one, but he didn't let fear overcome him.

"There you are!"

"Hraagghhh!!"

The Manticore show itself and the mist dispersed because of its ginormous size. He cast his eyes onto the place but he was too late!

"Dimensional Stab!"

The space crumpled and concentrated on the monster. The squeezed space glided and all the things that it touched disappeared. The stab was so wide, creating a canyon-hollow in the ground. Even the earth and the mist were eradicated by a simple stab turning them into nothingness. A large flesh flopped onto the dirt, half of the creature's body pulped out leaving the Manticore unstable.

"You are too big, even my Skill can't kill you in one shot… Welp, it's fine. That Old Elf said that I'm not the damage dealer anyway. My job is to obstruct you from getting close to the evacuation."

The monster cried, he looked up to see Jose but he couldn't find him.

"Uh-huh, I heard that you have a dangerous power."

Jose was missing, and he blocked his retreat using the destroyed buildings. As long as something was blocking the vision of the Manticore, he won't die.

"Now… I guess he's here."

Jose smirked and felt the incoming destruction. He knew this power so he was not afraid. Instead, he was happy.

"Your Skill is enough to kill it."

Jose ran away, he would die if he stayed here. Just a glance of the monster could make him rest eternally. His silhouette started fading away together with the mist.

"Guwwaarrhhh!"

The half-body Manticore wailed, its flesh was starting to regenerate. It was fast but because of its massive size, the regeneration looked minuscule. The Monster sensed that his death would come at him if he won't regenerate, his mortal enemy was coming!!

The Manticore used its hand and crawled just to run away. He was afraid. He didn't want to die, its eye was looking ahead, he cried and advanced with his half-body. His tears started falling down but no one took pity on him, no one helped him. Instead, he was greeted by the knives that were coming out of nothing. Niña's stealth was invincible and she won't be detected no matter how the monster try.

The Manticore saw that the knives were coming at him but he couldn't move. He lost half of his body, even advancing was hard. He wailed as the knives stabbed his eyes, the monster's vision completely disappeared. And all he could see was darkness, he became more afraid. He tried to regenerate faster but this was the fastest he could do. His body was so massive and it would take a while to completely heal him. The monster was agitated and started wriggling. Despite losing his vision, he kept advancing using his arm.

"Gewahhh!!"

But even his arm was stabbed. To make the matter worst, the joints and veins were hit. He couldn't move his arm anymore! The Manticore lay on the ground waiting for its end. The monster felt the deadly sensation that was coming but he couldn't do anything.

The monster was blinded so he couldn't see the majestic presence. A man was walking, his stature was tall and straight like a king. Lightning rumbled around and the ground vibrated, Mikael's body was releasing lightning. His eyes were flashing jet-black lights. The dark azure spear that he was holding was emitting thunderous cries. Mikael became the Lord of Lightning, his presence, his existence, he became living lightning.

On top of that, his lightning was stronger compared to when he fought the Kraken. The lightning was colored black, representing the darkness or in other words, death. Every step that he took made the ground shake, the lightning was crawling all over. They didn't care about the surroundings and continued destroying and showing dominance!

"Yow, wazzup."

He said while grinning as his body was in a state of being an element.

Mikael saw that the creature who wounded him and escaped twice was injured and only half of its body was present. It seemed like someone hurt the monster before they came. Anyway, Mikael was thankful, now his mission would be easier.

One attack, he must eradicate it with one attack. Nothing must remain on its body, everything should be destroyed. That's the only way to kill this monster.

To be honest, Mikael could only use one attack, his body couldn't contain his fourth Skill for a longer time. Raijin was helping him to control the power and Mikael would lose his mind if not because of his help. The lightning that was rampaging was destroying his body and transforming him into real lightning.

"Graauuooorr…!!"

The Manticore felt that his surrounding was burning. The heat was roasting his skin and open flesh. He cried and tried to get away but another group of knives pierced him. Even his regenerating eyes were hit resulting in healing them again. He was frustrated, he was mad that this thing was happening to him. He understood that if Mikael reached him, he would surely die. The power that he was releasing right now was far more powerful than the last time.

The Manticore was afraid and cursed his body to heal faster. He kept wriggling but even that was hard. The knives that were coming from different directions kept stabbing him. He gritted his teeth that were only in half. He looked like a caterpillar that was cut in half and relentlessly trying to live even though it was futile.

He wanted to escape and live. However, it seemed like his dream won't come true. His skin was burned by the clashing of lightning.

"Hello, Manticore."

A hand touched him which sent shivers down to his spine. The Manticore felt the cold touch despite being burned. He realized that he failed, his death was now apparent. The monster stopped struggling as he knew that he couldn't escape anymore. The hand that was touching him was cold that made him peaceful.

"And Goodbye."

Mikael released the lightning that was residing deep inside his body. The whole place was covered with light. Even the people that were away from the battle saw the blinding light. The fog that was wrapping the city was not enough to protect them from the light. Methuselahs or not, they both closed their eyes.

A powerful surge of energy erupted. The ground shook and a strong gust of wind slapped them. They lost their balance as the lightning kept revolting and brightening up. The mist was swept away by the powerful lightning.
