Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Chapter 541 - A Hero's Welcome

Gilligan was the Grand Elder of the Nether Arcane School, one of eleven great organizations of the Magi World. His mission was to interfere with the troops coming in and out of the Divinity Faith Army's headquarters, Saint City.

For a Peak Rank 6 life form that earned the title of Gods' Slayer, this should have been a pretty straightforward job, but just when he thought he took care of a group of ants, an unexpected genius showed up.

When Gilligan saw the power of those abyssal flames, his aura exploded, and the Supernova Law Domain manifested itself. He raised his hand, making a giant azure fire snake appear.

Despite the demonic nature of his power, Orin's aura was that of a hero as he faced the absolute enemy that targeted his group. A black Supernova Domain materialized, and a red spear appeared on his right hand.

A torrent of abyssal fire began to converge in the red spear, coating the weapon into plasma-like energy.

The Legend and the Magus stared at each other for a second before making their energy explode and attack.

Orin resembled a demonic meteorite as he flashed forward and pierced toward the azure fire snake coming toward him.

Azure hellish flames and black abyssal fire permeated the sky when both attacks clashed, burning every atom of oxygen in a radius of one thousand kilometers.

"What are you waiting for? Run now." The man at the Early Supernova Domain Stage yelled toward the rest of the Divine Legends when they saw how they kept looking at Orin.

"Bastian, he used a power forbidden by the Gods. We must punish him for that sin." A woman yelled back toward the man, and loathing filled her eyes as she stared at Orin.

Instead of showing support for the man that just saved her, she only displayed hate, to the point she seemed ready to help the one who just attempted to kill her a moment ago.

That was the power of religion. Even if it was irrational and lacked any form of logic, it can implant a level of hate so deep in your soul that you could kill a person that did not harm you in any way.

Of course, not everybody who followed a religion was fanatic trash. There were those who knew how to think for themselves and repaid the kindness shown to them.

Bastian was one of those, and when he heard the woman's words, disdain appeared on his face. But the Divine Legend knew how to control his emotions and that he needed to handle this tactically since others in his group also shared the fanatic garbage's belief.

"We can discuss Orin's crimes later. Right now, the most important thing is to reach safety. We can relay what we saw here to our superiors when we are inside the city."

Bastian's words made everybody focus on one goal, to survive. As for the last part, while it seemed to align with the zealots, the truth was that the Divine Legend had a different plan.

"¡BOOM!"

Another explosion echoed through the sky as Orin's spear and the azure fire snake under Gilligan's control clashed again.

The Legend was pushed back with blood coming out from the corner of his mouth but immediately regained control and charged even more abyssal flames into his weapon.

Gilligan extended his arms before pulling them together, making the azure fire snake bite down toward the Legend.

Orin's eyes widened as he saw that massive mouth about to swallow him, but he showed not a single trace of fear as he unleashed a torrent of spear strikes.

The spears pushed the azure fire snake back, giving the Legend time to put some distance between them. It was then that Orin detected something and glanced at the Legends that were rushing toward Saint City.

His gaze landed on a beautiful woman at the Late Hollow Sun Domain Stage. Her eyes carried on intense feelings that could only develop over a long time and after fully knowing a person.

Orin's gaze lasted only a moment, but he showed the woman a kind smile before turning back toward the Gods Slayers and piercing with his spear forward, shooting a pillar of abyssal fire.

Gilligan sent his azure fire snake crashing toward the abyssal pillar, once again filling the sky with flames.

The pillar failed to equal the azure fire snake, with the blast throwing Orin back, and just as he prepared to attack again, a sense of urgency appeared in his eyes.

He saw how the Gods Slayer managed to gather an immense amount of energy less than a second after that last clash and fired a full-power spell.

Orin just regained his stance when Gilligan pointed his hands forward, and a beam of super concentrated fire emerged from the giant azure snake.

The Legend managed to mobilize barely half of his energy and gathered it into the spear, thrusting it forward.

Gilligan's attack was too powerful, and Orin managed to defend for a second before being overwhelmed and hit by it.

Orin's counterattack was not useless as he managed to split the beam into several minor attacks, saving his life.

Despite his wounds, Orin was fine, but panic appeared on his face when he saw where one of the broken beams aimed to.

"NOOOO!" Orin roared with all his strength as one of the broken beams managed to reach the Divine Legends, killing four of them, with one of the casualties being the woman at the Late Hollow Sun Domain Stage.

The beam carried so much power that the woman's True Soul shattered instantly. As for the surviving members, they were able to enter the gray force field and reach safety.

With the Divine Legends now inside Saint City, Orin did not need to keep fighting the Gods' Slayer, and he could also run to safety.

However, the Legend did not move his body, and his eyes did not leave the place where the woman was present just a few seconds ago.

"I WILL KILL YOU!" Orin roared as his life force began to feed his abyssal flames. Pure hatred could be seen in his face as he stared at the Gods Slayer and flew toward him at full speed.

Gilligan only showed disdain when he saw the behavior of the Legend. As a Magi, he had a firm belief that emotions must never cloud your judgment or guide your actions, especially in a battle.

"Hmph, despite your power and talent, you are no different than a child." Gilligan sneered before his energy and soul force burst, making three giant azure fire snakes emerge from his Supernova Law Domain.

Orin's eyes burned with hatred, and it seemed he could not even hear the Magus' words, as the only thing in his mind right now was to kill.

He thrust his spear forward, generating a pillar of abyssal fire that destroyed one of the azure snakes before fending off the second one.

Burning his life force increased Orin's battle power, but he was still no match for the Gods Slayer. That was proven when the third azure snake hit his back, tossing him away as he vomited blood.

Orin seemed to have suffered severe wounds, but the rage burning in his heart allowed him to ignore the pain. He immediately got back control over his body and pointed his spear toward Gilligan before flashing forward with all his strength.

The Gods Slayer saw the humanoid spear covered in abyssal fire coming his way, and he waved his hand, making the azure snakes shatter into thousands of orbs.

The orbs positioned themselves in the path between Orin and Gilligan and did nothing else. While the Legend felt something wrong, it seemed that his rage did not allow him to do anything but push forward.

Once Orin was in the center of the azure orbs field, Gilligan clasped his hands, making all of them explode simultaneously.

"¡BOOM!"

A devastating explosion covered the sky, and Orin was in its core, with azure flames submerging him from every direction.

Gilligan smiled as the azure flame enveloped the Legend, but that expression lasted little, as his enemy managed to come out from the blast and appeared right in front of him.

The distance was too little, and his energy was still in disarray due to that powerful spell, so Gilligan could not stop the abyssal flaming spear from piercing his stomach.

It was the Gods Slayer's time to vomit blood, although it was azure plasma in his case.

The spear carried such momentum that it pushed the Gods Slayer to the ground, where he created a giant crater. Despite the damage received, he immediately stood up and filled his surroundings with azure orbs.

Gilligan expected Orin to chase after him due to the emotional state of this one, but to his surprise, the Legend took the chance to flee into Saint City.

The Gods Slayer chose not to pursue the Legend, as the fight surely caught the attention of the Gods' Heros inside Saint City, and his condition was not optimal. He took out the spear from his stomach before vanishing.

On the other hand, Orin barely crossed the gray force field and entered Saint City. Burn injuries covered most of his body, with one of his eyes missing and his left arm scorched.

Instead of the warm welcome that a hero who battled a Gods Slayer and saved his team should get, what received Orin was a group of armored guards led by a Peak Rank 6 Divine Legend.

It seemed the zealots wasted no time and immediately notified his "unforgivable sin" to the higher up.

Orin felt the force field pressure him, sealing his power, but that was unnecessary as he blacked out the next moment.
