Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World-Novel

Chapter 757 Roku and Gwyn

The battle between Heinz and the Shooting Star Crazy was far from the only one in which extraordinary geniuses presented magnificent displays of talent in the Realm of Madness' fifth layer.

"¡BOOM!"

"¡BOOM!"

"¡BOOM!"

Above the fifth layer's highest and largest mountain range, two fifty-meter-tall giants exchanged blow after blow, each with the power to devastate Low Worlds.

One of them was a deformed winged monster whose feathers seemed to contain collapsing heavenly bodies bathed in a dark evil aura. The other was white and had a demonic appearance, but his eyes displayed monstrous wisdom.

Roku, the First Astral Fiend, was in melee battle against a Rank 8 Collapsing Star Crazy.

The Collapsing Star Bloodline was a Second Order Law Bloodline known for granting incredible strength. That plus the Crazy higher cultivation and undying body should allow it to overwhelm the Astral Fiend, but the truth was different.

It was hard to categorize the Astral Fiend Bloodline due to the lack of information and users. Still, by Roku's physical power, calling it anything else but a Peak Second Order Law Bloodline would be a mistake.

Despite being a Peak Rak 7 life form, Roku managed to equal the Initial Rank 8 Collapsing Star Crazy in a melee battle!

Of course, the main reason Roku could equal the Crazy was due to the superb battle skills he deployed. The Astral Fiend truly reached the epitome of martial arts.

Every muscle of Roku's body moved in a way that allowed him to reduce the power of the enemy's attack while taking full advantage of any opening that could appear.

Thousand of years ago, inside Gods' Tomb, Roku saw how Zatiel Daybreak and Ezequiel Invictus showed physical might superior to his, despite the two having weaker bodies. That was a turning point for him as it painfully clarified the importance of granular control.

Astral Fiends could compare with Magi regarding their brains' computational capability, so Roku took full advantage of that. He made sure to put as much focus on his martial arts as he did on understanding the mysteries of the mortal body.

Countless hours of dedication over one thousand years allowed Roku's martial arts and bodily control to equal the best in the universe!

The Collapsing Star Crazy had just connected a punch in the Astral Fiend's jaw when it detected something wrong. While it had degraded into a mindless monster, that did not mean its instincts were affected, and it felt the lack of impact.

What happened was that Roku spun his neck at the last moment, reducing the damage taken by that punch. Things did not end there as the Astral Fiend took advantage of the opening and fired a direct blow at the Crazy's head.

That blow landed point-blank, carrying immense power but did little to hinder the Collapsing Star Crazy, who continued attacking with nothing but savagery and killing intent.

Roku's face grew solemn as he saw the effect of his attack. While they were equal in a melee battle, the damage each endured was not the same, just like the speed at which their stamina depleted.

A battle of attrition could prove deadly for the Astral Fiend, but luckily things did not head that way. His eyes narrowed as he received the signal.

The Astral Fiend saw a kick coming to his head, and instead of dodging it, he twisted his body before the strike would even come closer.

Just as the leg was about to land, Roku grabbed it and continued moving his body, tossing the Crazy over his shoulder and into the mountain range.

Roku tossed the Collapsing Star Crazy with so much strength that this one lost control over its body, and things only worsened.

Before the Collapsing Star Crazy could crash into the mountain range, a man bathed in gray and black fire emerged from the ground and flashed toward its back.

Gwyn had been charging this attack while Roku was locked in a melee battle against the Collapsing Star Crazy and would take full advantage of this opportunity.

"Soul Scourge Flame: Infinity Halberd Strike!"

The Eye Holder struck forward with his halberd bathed in that gray and black fire. The attack had enough power to pierce the Crazy's skin that could compare with a Rank 8 Artifact.

His halberd reaching the Rank 8 Crazy's bones was just part of that attack's might. What truly mattered were the gray and black flames that infiltrated flesh and blood.

That gray and black fire was the Soul Scourge Flame, a unique force Gwyn created and the route his path of power was taking. It could cause significant physical damage and numb the senses, and it was highly adept at annihilating soul force.

Once enough Soul Scourge Flame invaded your body, it would shut down your senses and scorch your soul.

The Collapsing Star Crazy felt its senses shutting down and how the gray and black fire burned the soul force that had fused in its body.

However, before the Soul Scourge Flame could stripe away its ability to act, the Crazy roared with all its power.

"AHHHHHHH!" That howling roar made the dark evil aura inside the Crazy explode, fighting back against the Soul Scourge Flame.

Gwyn's eyes widened as he saw the Crazy being able to resist his Soul Scourge Flame. However, he did not lose calm.

According to their plan, Gwyn's full power attack should have killed or stripped the Crazy ability to fight, but since things did not go like that, the duo began plan b.

"Soul Scourge Flame: Immolation!"

Gwyn burned some of his life force, making the Soul Scourge Flame inside the Crazy burst with power, paralyzing this one for a second and shutting down its supernatural defenses.

The Crazy could barely perceive the outside world after the gray and black flame exploded inside its body. It knew that it would only be a matter of seconds before the dark evil aura allowed him to regain control.

Unfortunately for the Collapsing Star Crazy, time was not on its side as Roku prepared to unleash his ultimate attack!
