Chapter 356 - Battle at the Moon Tower: Final Struggle 6

A girl with long pink hair that was tied in a bun was looking at the battle with a mixed expression. She was scared but also amazed at the battle in the sky that shook the entire city ground.

She was Sulin, the ruler of the Cloud Tower.

"How could that man have that kind of energy? Just what on earth is happening in this city?"

She was powerful but she knew that the battle between Souta and that giant figure was something above her level. The immense energy fluctuations in the atmosphere of the battle were enough to burn people into ashes if they got close to it.

"Why? Why did the Cloud Tower possess such things and what's their goal?"

She muttered as she continued to watch the battle for the ground.

...

'Saya, can you handle all of these energies?' He asked Saya.

'Yes, I'm not a dark-grade sword for nothing.' Saya replied to him with great confidence.

'Good.' Souta nodded and he poured a large amount of violent energy on the vajra sword.

Ohm!

The sword glows brightly and emitted powerful energy that was dancing like a lightning whip. The energy looks like an extension of the blade but it was unstable and the form was changing every second.

All the energies gathered and focused on the sword greatly increasing its destructive power. Right now, Souta's attack damage reached a new height but the defense he had was pretty normal.

He was vulnerable to any attack as the energy wasn't protecting his body. He focused himself on attack instead of defense.

The metallic figure shot hundreds of energy beams at Souta.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The energy beams approached Souta at a very high speed that greatly surpassed the A-rank powerhouses.

Souta moved his body very quickly as he flew above and the energy beams chased after him. Since he focused all his energy on attack, his defense was so weak that he couldn't afford to get hit by these energy beams.

He moved his body side to side dodging every beam that comes at him. He then spun around and shot a blade energy at the beams causing a huge explosion.

Boom!

Souta came out of the smoke and he continued to fly upward as the rest of the beams chased after him.

He glanced at his sword and guessed that it was time. All the energy consolidated around the sword creating a powerful attack that will tear the huge metal in front of him.

'You shouldn't waste this attack!' Saya warned him.

'I know. That's why I'm being careful and didn't dare to approach it carelessly.' Souta replied to her as he increased his speed.

Also, he knew that he had to finish this as soon as possible. Although the energies consolidated around the sword, it still wasn't perfect. It could explode anytime and it will take him out because he could hardly control these energies with Saya's help.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Souta avoided some of the energy beams but the rest flew straight to his body. He raised his other hand and when the beams arrived in front of him he swung it.

A loud explosion once again occurred and his figure came out of it flying towards the direction of the metallic figure.

Bloody mist was spreading in the explosion as Souta's hand got destroyed.

'Souta!!' Saya shouted in his head.

Souta ignored her as he gritted his teeth and flew towards the metallic figure. His other hand was gone and blood was pouring out of it.

He sacrificed his hand to get an opportunity to get close to his enemy.

"ARGH!!!!"

He arrived in front of his opponent and pulled back his sword. He then threw it out like a cannon. A shockwave swept out as the energy in the sword tore the air creating a vacuum that s.u.c.k.e.d the surrounding energy.

Swoosh!

The vajra sword flew out and pierced the head of the metallic figure. Then, all the energy inside it burst out swallowing the upper body of the metallic figure.

Souta didn't stop and he concentrated all the remaining energy in his body on his arm. He pierced the body of the metallic figure and landed on its interior.

Bang!

He took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. He saw dozens of small metallic figures inside it. It has the size of a human body but Souta didn't have a time to play with it.

"It's futile... I'm taking back Cl.u.s.ter with me."

Souta said as he waved his hand and a bright light flashed in front of him destroying all the small metallic figures.

Boom!

It was the vajra sword. It pierced the body of the giant metallic figure and arrived in front of Souta.

Boom!

Alice and Lumilia who were watching the battle covered their eyes as a very powerful explosion occurred in the sky.

Even though Lumilia and Alice were covering their eyes with their arms. The light pierced through them and they saw every veins in their arms.

All the fragile things inside the city turned into ashes and countless people died because of it.

After a while, the light disappeared and the two moved down their hands. They looked over and saw a tremendous smoke that was covering the entire sky.

"This is..."

It was so far but the size of it made it looked like it was close to them.

"That..." Alice narrowed her eyes as she saw a figure came out of the smoke. The figure was carrying someone in his arm.

"Souta! Cl.u.s.ter!" Lumilia shouted as she recognized the two.

Souta flew towards them and landed in front of the two. Lumilia quickly carried took Cl.u.s.ter in his arm and said, "Thank goodness, you are alright!"

Alice glanced at his missing left hand and said, "But your hand..."

In the future, if he increased his health recovery he will gain an ability to regenerate his limbs. So he wouldn't need to worry about his missing hand though it would decrease his battle strength.

Yuko approached him and licked his cheeks. She was worried about her master too.

He patted her head and said, "Calm down. I'm fine."

"Cl.u.s.ter!" Lumilia wiped the dust and dirt on Cl.u.s.ter's face.

Cl.u.s.ter felt it so she slowly opened her eyes and looked around, "Sister Mila...? I..."

Lumilia cut her words as she hugged Cl.u.s.ter. "You don't have to say anything. We're glad that you're fine. Don't ever do that again. You're making all of us worry about you."

Suddenly, all of them stopped moving as they heard footsteps. They turned their head and saw Curdova walking at them with a halberd in his hand.

'He still hasn't given up.' Souta thought as he observed Souta's unsteady steps. He thought that Curdova has given up since he already completed the quest to defeat this guy.

He stepped forward and said, "It looks like your plan didn't work out."

What they didn't notice was that a magic circle that was buried on the ground started to emit a faint light. It was so faint that they didn't notice that faint mana fluctuations.

Curdova looked at Souta who lost his left hand and was full of injuries in his body. He opened his mouth and said in a loud voice, "Why? Why didn't you go down?"

He moved his feet and approached Souta with unsteady steps while dragging his halberd.

"Why? What drives you this far?"

He suddenly stops moving and gasped. He opened his eyes widely and recalled everything that happened to him.

The death of his wife.

The death of his children.

The betrayal of his trusted friends and his subordinates.

The betrayal of his country.

Everything flashed before his eyes.

Curdova narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He saw Souta kept looking at him.

"Damn... Don't look at me with those eyes?"

He shouted as he charged towards Souta and swung his halberd.

Clang!

Souta simply parried Curdova's attack. In this clash, Curdova didn't have strength behind his attack. It seems that he was venting out his feelings, his frustration... That nothing works fine in his life.

"You have everything in you, don't you?!"

Curdova shouted as he swung his halberd once again.

"I don't have anything with me! No! I lost everything that I have!!"

Clang! Clang!

Souta passively deflected all of Curdova's attack.

"You have friends with you! To help you!"

Curdova was pushed away and he stared in the sky. 'Why? I have nothing yet... I'm alone. Only weak need help from others yet this guy...' He narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on his weapon. He then thrust it forward.

"Why did you fight for your comrades?!!"

Ohm!

Red energy coated Souta's sword and he smashed it towards Curdova's halberd.

Boom!

His orange grade weapon was shattered and turned into fragments. Tears poured out of his eyes and Curdova stretched out his hand. He grabbed a fragment of his weapon and charged at Souta once again.

"Argh!!"

Souta roared and he slashed his opponent's c.h.e.s.t upward.

Spurt!

Tons of blood spurted out of it like a fountain.

"Why did this happened to me?"

He muttered as tears poured out of his eyes while he was staring at the sky.
