Free Web NovelChapter 268: Chapter 149: Slaying the Cosmic Wanderer
As the teleportation beam descended, the host of the Divine Kingdom arena began to introduce the two combatants.
Both had impressive records.
Furthermore, they were competing for the Six-winged Divine Kingdom’s Angel Armament.
This was also Zorn’s first time making a public appearance within the Divine Kingdom.
...
"Ossirion, these two Level 10 Sequencers are both Transcendents under your command. They both look quite promising."
At that moment, an Upper Rank God projected his voice to Ossirion.
At the same time, several other Upper Rank Gods also turned to look at him.
"Yes, Lord Greg."
"The Cosmic Wanderer, Chapman, has a record of slaying multiple Upper Rank Level masters in the Plane Worlds. His methods and strength are quite astonishing."
"He even managed to escape pursuit from the projection of a Lower Rank God in that Plane."
"He laid the foundation for our expansion in that World."
"As for Zorn Corick, he is a peculiar existence with a Dual Sequence. On the Divine Kingdom battlefields, he used his own power to suppress and slay numerous masters from the other two great Divine Kingdoms who were close to the Upper Rank Level. He single-handedly shattered the Star Remnant Divine Kingdom’s Star Track Ceremony Tower."
"He suppressed the masters from the other two great Divine Kingdoms so thoroughly they couldn’t even raise their heads. More importantly, he secured over three hundred portions of [Eternal Night Star Mark] for us during the Star Trace Meteor Shower in the Star Trace Spirit Realm Battlefield."
"He has also rendered immense service."
Although Ossirion was addressing the Divine Spirit, Greg, he was also informing the other Lord Divine Spirits present.
These Upper Rank Gods, with their immortal lifespans, possessed vast amounts of resources.
It would naturally be for the best if they were willing to invest in these promising seeds.
Upon hearing this, the Upper Rank God nodded with a warm smile.
"Excellent, excellent! They are all very good seeds."
"A great Mythical Wave, a cosmic saga that will sweep across the entire Star Realm, is brewing in the depths."
"The Era of Mythology might just erupt from this!"
"These Divine Kingdom seeds that are blooming in the current stage must be nurtured well."
"This time, the secret of the ancient era we’ve discovered, the [Dark Cosmic Kingdom], is a perfect region for those at the Upper Rank Level to enter."
"If these outstanding Upper Rank Level genius seeds enter these regions in the future, they might find ample room to grow."
Though a smile remained on Ossirion’s face, his eyes turned cold.
’This old bastard lost a ton of his own Upper Rank Level Transcendents there. Is he trying to pin his hopes on me now?’
"Lord Greg, these Divine Kingdom seeds are still relatively weak at present. I’m afraid they still need some time to grow."
"For now, I’m afraid they cannot go to the Dark Cosmic Kingdom."
"Oh? Legendary Ossirion, are you suggesting I’m trying to harm the Upper Rank fighters under your command?"
The Divine Spirit’s voice grew heavy with pressure.
His face grim, Ossirion stirred his Legendary Power, silently enduring the Divine Spirit’s might.
"Alright, Greg. The [Dark Cosmic Kingdom] is exceptionally dangerous. It’s not just our people who have suffered heavy losses; the others have as well."
"The problems there cannot be solved by you throwing your power at it alone."
"Next, the Divine Kingdom will hold a conference on this matter to formulate a new plan."
"There’s no need for you to go around scouting for powerful Upper Rank Level fighters anymore."
As a more powerful figure among the Divine Spirits spoke, the Divine Spirit Greg slowly retracted his divine pressure.
Forced back by the pressure, Ossirion’s expression grew even colder.
’This old fool is courting death. Does he really think I’m afraid of him?’
’If not for other plans I have in motion, your Divine Level of 27 would be nothing special!’
Composing himself, Ossirion looked toward the Divine Kingdom arena.
The contest between these two super-geniuses under his command was the main event.
The Divine Kingdom had brought out a precious resource like the Angel Armament precisely to better cultivate this batch of Divine Kingdom seeds born from the cosmic Mythical Wave.
「......」
Within the Divine Kingdom arena.
As the pillar of light gradually faded, a battle plan quickly formed in Chapman the Cosmic Wanderer’s mind.
’This Evil Spirit Wizard’s Witchcraft techniques are formidable.’
’If I fight him head-on, it will be very difficult for me to win.’
’But his weakness is also obvious. It takes him time to construct and link his various powerful Ancient God Curses, Forbidden Curses, and other Witchcraft.’
’If I can suppress him during the initial burst of the fight, I’ll have already won half the battle.’
’At the same time, his mobility isn’t strong enough. I can use this to my advantage and drag him into a mobile contest.’
’His phase-walking, jumps, and the trajectory of his movements with the Shadow Boots are all avenues for my attacks.’ fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
’In front of a Traveler, any movement creates a trajectory.’
’By following these trajectories, I can execute the perfect attack.’
BUZZ! The pillar of light dissipated.
The battle began.
Chapman, the Cosmic Wanderer, had been coiled and ready. With a Cosmic Walk, he instantly appeared before Zorn.
The Upper Rank Level blade in his hand slashed down violently.
Imbued with the unique attack of the Cosmic Wanderer Sequence, it tore open a strange Cosmic Trajectory.
’He... actually dares to get right in my face!’
Zorn’s eye twitched as he felt the Cosmic Wanderer, Chapman, cross several thousand meters in an instant to arrive before him.
Although he was highly confident he could grab the teleporting Chapman and tear him to shreds, he chose not to do so.
Winning or losing this battle was important, but what was more important was displaying his methods and strength.
However, since his opponent dared to get in the face of a Star Trace Fighter so directly, Zorn would obviously have to teach him a lesson.
ROAR!
The Golden Gang Dragon Hand erupted with power.
It was like a Giant Dragon stomping viciously toward the Cosmic Wanderer, Chapman.
Chapman, his blade mid-swing, was utterly horrified.
’This...!’
With no time to think, Chapman subconsciously initiated a phase-walk to escape.
If he met this attack head-on, he would surely suffer grievous injuries.
Even though he managed to escape, part of the Golden Gang Dragon Hand’s power still landed on him, leaving a shocking gash on his back.
"Damn you!"
Appearing several thousand meters away, Chapman felt the stinging pain on his back.
Shock and fury warred in his heart, his face a grim mask.
’Wasn’t this guy supposed to only be powerful because of his Witchcraft? Why did no one tell me his Fighting Master techniques were this terrifying!’
He watched as the Evil Spirit Wizard began to release the Calamity Black Mist to construct his Witchcraft.
His original plan to use the speed advantage of a Cosmic Wanderer was thrown into chaos by that single blow from Zorn’s Fighting Master side.
’I can’t let him build up his Spell System, or I’ll be in trouble.’
’I’ll use the Cosmic Trajectories to kill him.’
With that thought, Chapman began to travel rapidly. He needed to construct enough Cosmic Trajectories to deliver a sufficient amount of firepower against the Evil Spirit Wizard.
"Hmm?"
Watching the two engage in their strategic battle, the Legendary Grand Priest Ossirion raised an eyebrow slightly.
’This Zorn’s Star Trace Fighter techniques are quite impressive!’
’Why haven’t I heard about his Fighting Master techniques before?’
’It must be because his Fighting Master Sequence hadn’t unlocked its Domain before, so its power wasn’t great enough to be worth showing off.’
’But after these few years in the Star Trace Spirit Realm Battlefield, he must have absorbed and digested a large amount of Star Mark resources, raising the power of his Star Trace Fighter Sequence.’
’That’s how he was able to deliver such a spectacular blow.’
’Although the shortcoming of a Fighting Master is being limited to close-quarters combat, it complements the Evil Spirit Wizard Sequence perfectly.’
’Chapman wanted to catch the Evil Spirit Wizard off guard, but ended up being injured by the Fighting Master instead.’
’With that last attack, if Zorn had been decisive enough, he might have been able to end the fight right then and there, or at least severely wound his opponent.’
’After all, the strength displayed by that Fighting Sequence was at the peak of Upper Rank Level 11.’
’This Dual Sequence Zorn is truly full of surprises.’
Inside the Divine Kingdom arena.
As Chapman traveled and constructed a large number of Cosmic Trajectories, he slashed out with his blade again and again under the effect of his Traveler Domain. freёwebnovel.com
Numerous attacks followed the Cosmic Trajectories, raining down on Zorn.
By this time, Zorn had already unleashed a sufficient amount of Calamity Black Mist.
Simultaneously, hands of Calamity Black Mist began to emerge one after another.
BANG! BANG! BANG...
The blades on the Cosmic Trajectories were continuously slapped away and shattered by Zorn’s hands of Calamity Black Mist.
As Chapman continuously laid down more Cosmic Trajectories, his attacks grew increasingly unpredictable.
This was the way of the Wanderer Sequence.
They could attack an enemy from any position or angle along a trajectory they had traveled.
Even if the enemy fled, they could follow the trajectory left behind by the enemy and hunt them down.
A blade striking a trajectory was equivalent to striking the enemy directly.
A powerful Sequencer of the Wanderer Sequence could kill an enemy just by attacking the trajectory of their escape.
But for Zorn, who specialized in positional warfare, it was obviously unrealistic for his opponent to try and force him to move and leave behind the Wanderer Trajectories he needed within the Spatial Layer Realm.
Today, Zorn could stand here, unmoving, and still kill him.
His opponent could use his Domain to lay out the Cosmic Wanderer’s "Cosmic Trajectories."
But the deployment of Zorn’s many Evil Spirit Wizard techniques was even stronger.
And now, the longer they fought, the uglier Chapman’s expression became.
He could already feel the aura of his opponent’s Ancient God Curse.
The failure of his surprise attack at the very beginning had already put him on the back foot.
And now, the aura of that Ancient God Curse made him despair.
’Wasn’t he supposed to only be at a mid-Level 11 standard?’
’What the hell is this aura from the Ancient God Curse? It feels like the peak of Level 11, or even Level 12!’
’Could it be... that bastard Colin deliberately set a trap for me?’
’Or did this guy guess that we would use this battle to gauge his strength, so what looked like an all-out fight was actually just a deliberate display for us to see?’
The feeling of despair grew heavier as the terrifying power of the Ancient God Curse continued to bloom, nearly crushing him completely.
’The strength of mid-Level 12. So this is the terror of this Evil Spirit Wizard!’
Feeling the terrifying might of the unleashed Ancient God Curse, the Cosmic Wanderer, Chapman, had already realized something.
The way he was about to die would likely be beyond his imagination!
Just as Chapman wanted to struggle further, his expression changed drastically in the next moment.
From within the Cosmic Trajectories that originally belonged to him, hands made of Cosmic Trajectories began to rise up one after another.
Without Chapman noticing, Zorn had already used the Ancient God’s Hand to infiltrate his Cosmic Trajectories.
Infiltrating a Wanderer Sequence’s trajectory was the perfect way to execute them.
By seizing the Cosmic Trajectories, Zorn’s attacks would land perfectly on the Cosmic Wanderer.
A Wanderer’s Trajectory is their very lifeline!
Now that his Cosmic Trajectories had been infiltrated, the Cosmic Wanderer, Chapman, could already be declared dead on the spot.
With the eruption of the Ancient God’s Hand, a multitude of arms bloomed from the Cosmic Trajectories on his body.
The Cosmic Trajectories that Chapman had been using were now the shackles binding him, leaving him no possibility of escape.
Immediately after, a massive Ancient God’s Hand erupted with him at the center, destroying Chapman’s Sequence, physical body, soul, and will completely.
A perfect display of counters and a one-sided slaughter that stunned many powerful experts had come to a close upon the Divine Kingdom’s arena!
