Chapter 524 White me
Turning her head to see how Orion had managed to make it past the hundreds of men and women, all in strange attire, Fifi was instantly stunned.
The ground was utterly scorched and littered with countless bottomless pits andrge sword marks that had formed a gash within the earth, stretching for about tens of meters.
As for the hundreds of imprable men and women in strange tulga—
They had disappeared! It was as though they hadn''t been there in the first ce, and if not for thendscape now riddled with the aftermath of the battle, it would have been hard to guess what had really happened.
Fortunately, she quickly understood that Orion clearly had a way to take care of the White me before them.
Withdrawing her eyes away from the scene, Fifi caught hold of Seth''s dumbfounded expression as he beheld the sight behind him. She then shifted her attention to Orion, who was charging straight towards the caged White me.
Unfortunately, the sphere of water she had used to imprison White me had broken off once more and fallen back into the earth.
White me, of course, wasn''t nning to avoid the attack as he saw Orion charging at him with a strangely familiar crimson greatsword that stirred something within him. He stood up, stretched his hand to grab the sword, and met the attack head-on.
At this moment, Orion gleamed with intensity as he focused his gift on the four-meter-long crimson greatsword. Even more, lightning generated out of his body as he surged towards White me like a bluish crimson sh of lightning.
In an instant, Orion arrived in front of White me.
His eyes gleamed. He leaned forward highly close to the ground and swung the four-meter-long crimson, lightning-coated greatsword upwards from under White me''s arm.
White me''s arm was severed.
Lightning erupted from the de and shot towards the sky.
And for the first time since the beginning of this battle —
"AHH!!!"
White me screamed out in pain.
But Orion was not done. He halted his body and repositioned himself by the left side of White me''s body. With his arms angled right above his hips, Orion swung his de downwards without hesitation.
SLICE!
BANG!!
A scorched sword gnash, about eighteen meters in length, was formed behind White me as his upper body severed from his hips.
With a nonexistent dazed expression that could have been filled with disbelief and shock at what had just happened, White me could only part his lips with a deep exhale from having his body wholly severed into two.
"AHHHH!!!"
For the second time since this battle had begun, the man-made god screamed out in pain.
From a distance, at the cave entrance, even through the dust that had erupted from the ground, partly covering their view, the Crystalforge warriors felt as if they had been plunged into an absurd dream.
Even though they had anticipated it, the sight before them was something none could entirely grasp orprehend—
But at this moment, anyone with eyes could witness that White me, the god who had tormented them for countless unknown generations, the god who stood as the primary obstacle to breaking the curse, the god who had crushed their hopes repeatedly, was now being subdued by the foreigner, Orion.
Bang! Bang! The echoes of countless knees hitting the rocky cavern floor reverberated through the air. Each remaining Crystalforge warrior copsed, fists clenched, turbulent emotions surging from the depths of their hearts and spreading through their entire beings.
One thing was sure after today—
The curse that had shackled them for generations was finally on the verge of being shattered... Freedom was within their grasp!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Orion poised the four-meter crimson lightning-coated greatsword for another attack.
Unlike the previous shes, this one aimed to be a piercing stab, intending to impale White me''s head and obliterate the rest of his body.
The crimson de crackled with intensified lightning at its tip as Orion turned his head, asking, "Before I end this, do you have anything you''d like to say to him?" He addressed the question to Aerialia, who had been standing by him since the summoning of the crimson greatsword.
Gazing at the defeated White me, Aerialia nodded at Orion before redirecting her gaze toward the fallen god with a menacing intent.
"Oh, god, that dwelleth on earth, dost thou remember me?" She asked. Already aware that White me could see her, she chose not to reveal herself.
White me directed his gaze toward the tall, winged woman beside Orion, emanating a familiar divine energy. Despite sensing a gap in his memory, he struggled to fill it, only encountering obscure shadows that refused to make sense.
Even as his face glowed with burning white mes, his lips parted in a hoarse question, "Who... are you?" The question left Aerialia visibly frustrated, her expression shifting from annoyance to anger.
Angry shivers coursed through Aerialia''s body as she retorted, "Art thou telling me thou dost not remember me or what thou hast done to me and mine offspring?" Her wings folded as her feet gently touched the ground.
Shaking his head, White me replied, "Didn''t he tell you? There are many things I can''t remember now, including a significant part of who I was before being trapped in this mountain."
He redirected his focus back to Orion.
Orion furrowed his brow.
The sudden transformation of White me into a humanoid form had led him to believe that thepletion of the trial might trigger the recovery of some memories.
However, it appeared that this wasn''t the case.
"But…" White me''s voice echoed once more, "I think I remember this sword." White me weakly extended his hand to touch the crimson greatsword. His hand pressed against the de, seemingly unaffected by the bluish lightning, before retracting due to the extreme sharpness.
"Covenant!... I remember... This de, I called it Covenant..." White me suddenly uttered before swiftly shifting attention to the side, "Then you... You are the first god that I killed."
