Chapter 380  [380] Empires end, worlds beginning.

In an instant, it had reached my location, I had almost failed to capture it.

Thankfully…I had done it with the help of Dragon eyes.

"Peekaboo!"

I grabbed its throat and rammed it into the walls of the imperial castle.

"KIEEEK!"

'Argh!'

The sound it released messed with my balance…it was affecting my entire body. Nevertheless, I stabbed the Bastard with the Ame-No-Sakahoko swiftly as we both catapulted towards the ground.

[HEAVENLY SKY SPEAR]

-|FIRST MOVEMENT|-

/HEAVENLY THRUST\

Alamun used his tendrils to grab the spear and resisted with all its might. It grew more tendrils and attacked me with them. I used my tail to block them off for some time but they overwhelmed me soon enough.

It fired a Shadow blast right at my face, I barely managed to dodge it and fired a breath back.

The breath of frost passed through its ethereal figure and did no damage to it all.

'Fuck.'

I cursed inside my mind, it seemed that the frost element wouldn't work on this thing.

I used my tail to cut the tendrils, grabbed the Ame-No-Sakahoko and freed it. Although I suffered some damage I was able to attack with the Ame-No-Sakahoko.

[HEAVENLY SKY SPEAR]

-|SECOND MOVEMENT|-

~~/Heavenly descent!\~~

I could hear its screams of pain!

I withstood the constant attacks it landed and let the corruption of shadow run rampant on my body as I attacked again and again.

One stab.

Two stabs.

A dozen more!

"Kiieeek!"

We crashed into the ground, I did not give the Shadowborne Aluman a moment of respite and trusted my spear toward its head, it dodged in time and the Ame-No-Sakahoko went deep inside the ground like a hot knife through butter.

Shit!

I was stuck, and the shadow-borne used that to fire a shadow blast right at my face

I hurriedly ducked and kicked it away, the blast redirected towards the sky and caused havoc.

I pulled the Ame-No-Sakahoko out of the ground and used the Heavenly Sky spear art.

[Heavenly Sky Spear!]

-|||Third Movement!|||-

///HEAVENLY REDEMPTION\\\

I fired off a crescent gash of energy at the Shadowborn, it managed to hit and cut half of its body. Since the Ame-No-Sakahoko possessed properties directly opposite to it. It caused great damage.

I could see a black liquid which I assumed was its blood spraying out.

I charged at the thing and attacked once more.

[Heavenly Sky Spear]

|FIRST MOVEMENT|

/Heavenly THRUST\

The shadow twisted its body and dodged the thrust. The air pressure from the attack alone cleared a significant number of debris behind.

It used its claws and slashed me

 The power behind the attack was strong enough to pierce my scales and draw blood.

Five lines of blood appeared, from my waist to my upper body.

Furthermore, I was sure that thing spread its shadow energy inside me.

Fuck…I was right.

I can already feel a stinging pain.

'Time to end this.'

I thought, as I got extremely close to it and used my Spear right at its face.

[Heavenly Sky Spear.]

-|||Third Movement|||-

///Heavenly Redemption!\\\

I cut its body in half once again with my spear.

But I was not done.

Immediately afterward, I used the second movement of the heavenly sky spear, Heavenly Descent, and obliterated it.

I made sure to completely erase the Shadow energy.

I used dragon eyes once again and scanned the area, I flew high up and scanned the entire city as well.

After confirming the shadow energy was dissipating…I waited.

I waited for the trial-end notification.

But it didn't appear?

Something is strange…

As I was lost in thought. I heard the voice of the tower. I thought it would be a clear notification but I was wrong.

It was something much more mortifying.

[You didn't think a beast like that would die so easily did you?]

A chill went through my spine and I lost all sensation in my wings and plummeted to the ground.

"W…hat?"

I could barely speak, wondering what was going on.

And then I realized…

Ah, the shadows in the city had dissipated…

Not the one inside me.

******

Alamun entered Alan's body. The attack he had dealt Alan was laced with a dense amount of shadow energy that he could use to invade Alan's soul, he used the power of the shadows to venture inside Alan's body when his own had been destroyed.

Truthfully, the moment it had seen the absolute havoc caused by [Glacial collapse]

Alamun knew it would fail, that it would not be able to subdue or kill Alan Peccator, the Draconian of frost.

It could sense that the draconian had a power greater than what he was showing yet…something which gave Alamun eerie feelings just like the ones he had when he fought with Ma Cheon, the heavenly demon.

"Soul…devour…must."

Muttering a weakened Alamun, he had fought the Heavenly Demon and barely escaped, only to be defeated by the mighty emperor and be sealed.

And when it was free it had to deal with that draconian.

It needed to eat its soul quickly…lest it would disappear.

It wandered the darkness searching for any trace of a soul…but it was all for naught.

"...strange…"

Muttered the being of shadow. It continued walking straight ahead, almost hurrying due to urgency.

As it traversed the darkness it felt a chill run down its spine.

It stopped abruptly and turned around, only to find nothing.

It wondered why it felt a chill run down its spine, and concluded that maybe it was because the draconian possessed the element of frost.

It turned around, intending to continue.

However, it unknowingly walked into the wide jaws of a snake, almost indistinguishable from the darkness.

The jaws closed, and the Shadow met its end.

Swiftly, silently, and unknowingly.
