BXBX NOVEL Chapter 624 - Chrollo (II)
Unlike the Supreme Neo-Demon, everybody else felt immense pressure as if a behemoth was targeting them.
Issac could not help but tense every muscle of his body. His energy was already ready to explode at any second as he saw the Alpha Universe Primordial rising from the metallic satellite.
That Alpha Universe Primordial was the warrior, the Magus Primarch fought after the Flame Imperator solidified the portal between both universes. Back then, their offensive powers were similar, but the Magus found it extremely hard to really harm him. For one, that man\'s body was as resilient as a Principal World, maybe even more, and any spell that landed on him would find part of its power scattered into the void.
"There is no need to worry. The distance alone will make it impossible to reach our location anytime soon, not to mention that once that man leaves the zones altered by the Flame Imperator, the Universe Will would severely weaken his power." The Magus Primarch spoke those words out loud, but no one knew whether he meant them to reassure the other or himself.
Unfortunately, a sense of utter doom assaulted everybody but Ezequiel the next second.
Issac saw how a white flaming cross emerged in the Alpha Universe Primordial\'s forehead. His nine silver stars glowed, and he adopted a sprint position as the black lightning around him exploded with power.
The idea that someone could sprint through half of the Prima Universe\'s diameters was absurd, but Issac could not help to believe that was what was going to happen.
"ESCAPE!" Issac roared with all his strength as his energy exploded.
Right as that happened, the Alpha Universe Primordial kicked the void, transforming into a beam of black light.
Zatiel, Ezequiel, Ivar, and Hades\'s eyes widened as they felt an immense force approaching their location at an insanely fast speed. A dodecahedron with space-time power appeared around the Neo-Demons and another around Hades. Without hesitation, they used Space-Time Heaven and vanished.
The trio teleported just as the Alpha Universe Primordial appeared in front of Issac.
\'One second, just one second to cover half of the Prima Universe!\' Issac could not believe what he had just witnessed. He could also cover that distance in that time frame, but he did it by relying on a set of teleportation beacons. Not like the Alpha Universe Primordial that did it through physical might.
Despite his shock, like a seasoned warrior, Issac responded immediately. His energy was ready, so he charged all of it in his right palm and sent it forward to fire a devastating spell.
That attack was potent, and after leaving the Magus Primarch\'s body, it would at least send the Alpha Universe Primoridla flying away.
Just as the beam was about to emerge from the palm, the Alpha Universe Primordial sent his left fist forward with astonishing speed. That punch carried a tremendous amount of black lightning, and by connecting with the Magus Primarch\'s palm before the beam was fired, it triggered an explosion that consumed both.
Issac\'s face showed the immense awe he felt as the golden-black explosion consumed him. That martial skill was like nothing he had ever seen before.
"?BOOM!"
It sent the Magus Primarch flying away, and his right hand had exploded. As for the Alpha Universe Primordial, he maintained his stance, but all the skin and muscles on his left hand were gone leaving only obsidian-like bones.
The Alpha Universe Primordial did not bother with his injury and instead focused on the void. It took him less than a second to find what he was looking for.
He raised both of his hands, but only the skeletal one aimed at the void, and he gripped space with it.
"CRACK!" The sound of glass shattering echoed through the void. Several light-years away from their location, two bloodstained men surfaced.
Zatiel and Ezequiel traveled through folds of space thousands of times faster than the light. Yet, the Alpha Universe Primordial managed to find them and pull them back into the void.
And if that was not already amazing. The Alpha Universe Primordial did that with his left hand, as the right held Ars Goetia\'s spearhead!
Ivar\'s eyes were wide open. He attacked as soon as the Alpha Universe Primordial appeared, using the raging energy from the golden-black explosion as cover. He put all of his and Ars Goetia\'s power into that attack but failed.
Ars Goetia was less than three centimeters away from the Alpha Universe Primordial\'s head, but Ivar could not push it further no matter how hard he tried. He could not even pull the spear out of the man\'s grasp.
The Alpha Universe Primordial did not seem to even notice Ivar\'s effort until Ars Goetia\'s spearhead began to sever the skin and muscles of his hand. Surprise appeared on his face when he saw that the spear could harm him.
"Good weapon." The Alpha Universe Primordial said nothing more and pushed Ars Goetia and Ivar away, sending the Magus flying into the distant void as he puked blood.
Ezequiel and Zatiel were doing their best to catch their breath and mend the wounds that wrapped their bodies. Being forced out of a Rank 9 Teleportation spell was not something minor. If the Neo-Demon\'s bodies had not reached the Rank 8 standard, the space storms and cracks would have shattered their bodies into pieces.
The Neo-Demons did not have time to recover as the Alpha Universe Primordial focused on them and flashed into their direction at full speed. He would have managed to reach them instantly, if not the hundreds of golden hands materializing in his path.
Zatiel understood that the Magus Primarch had returned to the battle. He sent Ezequiel into his space ring and used Void Universe without hesitation.
The Alpha Universe Primordial arched his eyebrows when he saw that Zatiel vanished only to reappear instantly more than a galaxy away.
Regular teleportation generated a channel between the layers of space through which one could move at incredible speed. Still, the Neo-Demon only vanished and reappeared countless light-years away.
The Alpha Universe Primordial was sure he could figure out the principles behind Zatiel\'s ability given enough time, but he did not even consider taking that path. He just made his energy explode, shattering the golden hands on his way and pursuing at full speed.
Issac felt frustrated as he saw the Alpha Universe Primordial getting closer and closer to the Neo-Demon. The man was faster, and all those instantaneous spells the Magus fired were not powerful enough to reduce his momentum.
Zatiel was using Void Universe and Void Teleportation as fast as possible, but the distance between him and the Alpha Universe Primordial kept getting smaller. The Neo-Demon saw how the man shattered all the obstacles on his path.
The aura of the Alpha Universe Primordial made Zatiel remember the King in Yellow, both of them unstoppable universal forces.. However, while the Eldritch Universe\'s Champion used schemes and tactics to achieve his goal, that man gave up any form of trick and trusted fully on brute power.
