Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 162: First Form of the Moon Rising Over the Sea
Chapter 162: First Form of the Moon Rising Over the Sea
"So, this is the legacy of the Moon God? No wonder it defies all logic."
"This water... it’s not an illusion. It’s real!"
"I knew brother Ren was the mysterious inheritor, but how could he master it so fast?"
"Have you forgotten how brother Ren mastered a Divine class skill in just a matter of minutes?"
"I remember it, but we are talking about the inheritance of the Moon God here, not ordinary skills."
"Brother Ren has Grade S talent, so something like this is normal for him."
"Is this what the Grade S can do?"
The awakeners were still struggling to comprehend the drastic change in their surroundings.
Some of them even bent over to check the water because they wanted to know whether it was an illusion or not.
As the awakeners stood in awe, panic spread among the magical beasts.
Asher’s fighting spirit even disappeared without a trace because he knew that his skill stood no chance against the legacy of the Moon God.
’I can’t fight against this... I can’t defy this power...’
His pupils shrank, and his legs turned frail.
’It’s over... we’ve already lost...’
The moment his gaze met Ren’s cold eyes, his body gave out, and he collapsed onto his knees.
’How could I have been so naive? I was a fool to ever think I was superior to him in any way.’
He finally realized that he was no match for Ren from the very beginning.
"Brot...brother, get up. We still haven’t lost yet. You can’t give up now." Ardentis desperately tried to reignite the fighting spirit in his brother because he was their only hope to defeat Ren.
"That’s right, brother Asher," Elara added. "You’ve always found a way to turn the tide. I know you can do it again."
"No. it’s impossible this time. There is nothing I can do to change this." Asher’s voice was filled with despair because there was no hope for them to survive now.
"Brother, you are unparalleled genius. I know you can turn the tables." Ardentis’ eyes burned with conviction as he tried to push his brother to rise again.
Before Asher could say something, Ren’s voice rang out. "What’s wrong, snake? Don’t you want to compare our skills?"
All awakeners turned their attention to Asher when Ren’s question echoed across the endless sea.
They chuckled and mocked him the moment they saw the state Asher was in. He previously acted arrogantly before Ren.
He even said he wanted them to compare their skills. Now that Ren had shown him his Divine class skill, he was shaking with fear and despair.
His current state was completely different from before, as if they were two different people.
Azrael, who was observing the fight from afar, couldn’t help but feel a sliver of sympathy for Asher. "He is bullying that young man."
"Haha." Finley couldn’t help but burst into waves of laughter after hearing Azrael’s words. "But doesn’t he look cool right now?"
"Well, he does look cool right now." Zephiron admitted that Ren did look like Moon God with the colossal luminous moon behind him. "But to that young man and his group, he must look like a grim reaper ready to take their lives."
"No doubt about it," Finley chuckled.
"I feel sorry for his opponent. He must be in despair right now." Azriel knew how intimidating and terrifying his leader’s ultimate skill was.
After all, his leader had earned his nickname because of his ultimate skill.
"All right, I’m heading back." Finley didn’t wait for their response and flew back to the eighth floor.
His subordinates turned around in shock because they previously thought he would stay and watch the fight until the end.
"You’re leaving already? Don’t you want to see how it ends?" Azriel asked in surprise.
Without stopping, Finley answered, "I already know how this ends."
The moment Ren used his ultimate skill, the fight was as good as over.
"Let’s go back too." Zephiron also didn’t want to waste time because the winner had been determined.
"Alright." Azriel and Azrael nodded their heads.
As Finley’s subordinates returned to the temple, Ren glanced at Asher and the others.
It was amusing when he saw their state because their previous behavior was nowhere to be seen now.
"Why are you so quiet?" Ren asked. "Are you scared now?"
Asher’s face was still filled with despair while Ardentis struggled to rekindle his fighting spirit.
"Since you said nothing, then you can die now." right after Ren’s voice stopped, he used the first form of the Moon Rising Over the Sea skill.
The colossal moon behind him suddenly emitted gentle rays of light, and five brilliant spheres of light emerged, streaking across the sky like shooting stars.
Magical beasts ran in fear when one of the brilliant spheres easily destroyed the mythical serpent because Asher was no longer reliable.
"Run! Don’t let those spheres touch you!"
"Help! I don’t want to die! Someone, save me!"
"No! No! Stay away from me! Don’t come any closer!"
The magical beasts’ bodies were destroyed when the spheres hit them.
Even their corpses vanished without a trace as if the earth itself had devoured them.
Some awakeners wore terrified faces when they saw the magical beasts being destroyed one by one.
The five brilliant spheres looked stunning beneath the night sky, but at the same time, they were so terrifying because they destroyed everything they touched.
When Asher saw one of the spheres flying toward him, he didn’t try to run away like other magical beasts because he knew it was a futile effort.
’So, this is how my life ends.’
As the brilliant sphere drew closer to him, he slowly shut his eyes, accepting his fate.
"I can’t die! I must survive!" Ardentis ran with everything he had, trying to escape the brilliant sphere.
Unlike his elder brother, he didn’t just wait to be killed by the brilliant ball.
He was still young and recognized as a genius, so he refused to die because he had not explored the big world.
However, no matter how fast he ran, the brilliant sphere chased him relentlessly, its glow reflecting in his terrified eyes.
"Aaggghh!"
"Stop! Please! Stop!"
"Nooo!"
The sound of magical beasts dying one by one echoed in the entire area.
Ardentis’ panic deepened as he watched the brilliant spheres annihilate his subordinates because he could also lose his life at any time like them.
"Brother Ardentis!" A frantic voice called out.
Ardentis saw Valmira running toward him with a pale face when he turned his head toward the source of the sound.
Like him, she was also being chased by the brilliant spheres.
She was not with her elder sister because she had died.
"Valmira?" he was quite shocked when he saw her because he thought she had died.
"Brother Ardentis, do you know how to escape these things?" she also didn’t want to die, so she asked him whether he had a way to survive or not.
"I don’t know," he admitted through gritted teeth. "Just keep running!"
Valmira nodded and ran next to him.
Shortly after that, one of the brilliant balls was about to hit them.
"Brother, it’s getting closer!" Valmira’s voice trembled. "It’s about to hit us!"
Ardentis clenched his jaw.
His mind raced for a solution, but nothing came.
When he shifted his gaze from the brilliant ball to Valmira, a crazy idea popped up in his mind.
"Brother Ardentis, do something!" panic spread across her face because the distance between her and death was so close now.
Ardentis, who realized that they could not stop it, immediately kicked her, causing her to fly to the brilliant sphere.
"Brother Ardentis?" Valmira’s eyes were filled with shock at his betrayal.
They had been close since they were little, but when they were in a life-and-death situation, instead of saving her, he sacrificed her to save himself.
"How could yo-" Valmira could not finish her words because one of the balls hit her, destroying her body instantly.
Ardentis gritted his teeth and kept running.
’I’m sorry, Valmira. I must survive, so I have no other choice.’
Shortly after he sacrificed Valmira to save himself, one of the brilliant balls flew toward him from the front.
He was focused on the spheres behind him, so he failed to dodge it.
"Nooo..." His voice echoed as his body was obliterated into nothingness.
Ren, who saw everything from mid-air, showed no pity for the magical beasts. They dared to injure his women, so their punishment was death.
After all the magical beasts died, the environment returned to normal.
The night turned to day, and the full moon was replaced by the blazing sun. The emerald sea also returned to solid ground, and Ren’s cold face softened.
All the magical beasts had been sent to the underworld, so his cold face was nowhere to be seen.
*Ding...Ding...Ding...
Melodious sounds echoed as Ren walked down from the sky.
Scarlett and the others approached him happily when he was about to land on the ground because he had just killed all the magical beasts and saved them from a life-and-death situation.
"Ren!" Scarlett hugged his right arm with a big smile on her face.
"Brother Ren, you were so amazing!" Dan praised him.
"That’s right!" Elian added. "I even thought you were not human because you looked like the Moon God earlier."
"I thought so too, brother Ren," Adrian uttered.
Ren didn’t say anything and just smiled when they praised him because he was used to such reactions.
When Ren was hearing their praise, Scarlett suddenly asked, "Ren, do you have Health Potion?"
