Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

Chapter 230  [Hollow Town] [12] [End]

"Eyes Of Horus."

Aimar's voice echoed as he stepped forward; he blinked as his normal eyes turned golden.

Small circles emerged on his hands, which gently rotated around before leaving, hovering in different directions.

He glanced back at Arianell as he asked, "How are we going to defeat it without destroying the town?"

Arianell thought for a while, her gaze moving between Azariah and the creature resembling a jellyfish.

"We can only stop it from coming down," Arianell replied as she looked up.

"Noted," Aimar responded as he looked up at the creature.

A purple portal materialized just above the towering beast while another appeared beside him.

Taking his spear out, Aimar drew in a deep breath as he walked inside the portal.

The world around him twisted as he fell down; twisting his body, he looked at the massive back of the crimson creature.

Flexing his muscles, he stretched his arm back before throwing his spear with full force.

HOWLLL!!!

The creature howled in pain as the spear buried itself deep into its back.

Aimar grabbed the spear as soon as he landed on its back, balancing himself as the creature arched its back.

Aimar dug his feet into the soft back of the jellyfish as he yanked the spear out, his body falling down.

A portal emerged behind him, the world around him twisting as he found himself levitating in the air.

Gravity did its work as he fell down again.

"Little grey," he whispered, and the next instant, the air around him turned solid, making a platform on which he landed gently.

He looked down at the monster once again as the wound on its back had already healed.

"Tch, that's some absurd healing ability."

He clicked his tongue as he whispered before jumping down again.

The wind around him trembled before it shot his body forward.

With a low booming voice, he broke the sound barrier as he once again pierced the jellyfish with his spear.

But the rubbery body absorbed most of the impact, only leaving a shallow cut.

Grabbing the staff, Aimar dragged the spear, cutting through the creature's soft body.

Its howling sound erupted throughout the town, while Aimar clung to his spear to hold himself in place.

The creature moved up, its tentacles extending to slap at his back.

A portal materialized beside Aimar as he jumped in, barely dodging the tentacle rushing towards him.

Emerging again, he drew in a deep breath before throwing his spear into a portal.

Another portal emerged behind the previous portal as the spear moved within the two in a loop.

WHOOSH!!

Using the 'wind,' Aimar propelled the spear faster and faster within the portal to the point that the spear turned blurry.

Exhaling, he jumped from the monster's back; a portal emerged, engulfing him as he reached just below the jellyfish.

BOOM!!!

Another portal emerged beside him as the blurry spear moved towards the jellyfish's stomach at an alarming speed.

HOWLLL!!!

The creature howled in agony as the spear pierced its body, emerging from the other side, blood dripping down its wound.

Aimar's body fell inside another portal, arriving back right in front of the orphanage.

"...That was nice," Arianell commented as she looked up, the jellyfish-like creature now running its tentacles on its back.

"It's hard to kill it," Aimar replied, looking at the creature, "That thing can regenerate almost instantly."

"Hmm, move back." With a thoughtful look, she whispered softly; the mana and chi around her trembled.

Her body started floating above the ground, a white exoskeleton slowly forming around her.

With a height of almost a small building, the exoskeleton's eyes glowed.

She looked up, her hand gesturing as if she was holding a bow and arrow.

The exoskeleton moved just like her, but instead of an empty hand, a bow and arrow made of chi materialized in its hand.

Aiming at the screaming creature, she slowly stretched her hand back, and just as she locked in, she released the 'arrow.'

SWISH!!!

The arrow made of chi cut through the air, and in an instant, it pierced the creature's lower body.

HOWLLL!!!

The monster howled in agony, its body writhing in pain as it looked down.

"Oh, fuck," Arianell whispered as the monster dived headfirst in their direction.

Its huge body was just a few seconds away from crashing into the town, crushing everything.

"What did you do?!" Aimar yelled as he glared at her.

"Shut up!" she yelled back as her exoskeleton slowly started to enlarge.

It slowly grew bigger and bigger while her face turned pale.

A streaming streak of crimson light rushed past her, making her gaze follow it.

She blinked, and it became clearer that the light was a weapon rushing towards the creature.

The crimson light smoothly sliced through the creature, cutting it in the middle.

But instead of the huge body falling down, it slowly got absorbed by the weapon, vanishing into nothingness.

The weapon hovered before returning back on the same path.

Arianell's gaze still followed it as she looked back at the weapon, which landed in the hand of the boy.

A purple broken crown hovered just above his head.

Only then did she have a clear look at the weapon.

It was a one-handed axe with a crimson crescent blade on one side, complemented by sharp, spear-like points emerging from the base of the crescent blade.

A long chain attached to its base looped itself around his arm.

"Urghh!"

Azariah groaned in pain as he fell down, the weapon too heavy for him to hold.

He fell to one knee, his mind blurry.

"Azariah!"

Aimar rushed towards him, and so did Arianell as he lay on the ground on his back.

The axe slowly turned into liquid, entering his hand.

"Huff... Huff..."

Azariah's eyes changed, turning pitch black as he glimpsed a distorted world.

He saw a wagon filled with thousands of bodies, pulled by blurry souls chained to it.

They seemed frightened, pulling the wagon away from something that followed them.

Something terrifying sent a chill down Azariah's spine.

"Haaah!"

Azariah's eyes turned normal as he blinked away the blurriness.

His mind slowly calmed down.

"I need some rest."

.....

.....

.....

...Esmeray looked at El with her lifeless grey eyes.

A silence that felt like eternity lasted between them.

Both observed each other, Esmeray having a nonchalant demeanor while El's whole body tensed up.

He could sense what most couldn't.

Something that Esmeray had hidden so well that nobody knew, and only now was she showing it in full display.

Esmeray's lips slowly parted as she whispered in a low tone, "...Who are you?"

El looked at her solemnly as he asked back, "You are a... Demigod?"

She didn't reply; instead, she tightened her grip on her sword.

El tensed up, his body instinctively taking a stance to attack and defend if needed.

"Anastasia is trying too hard now, isn't she?" Esmeray said, her lifeless eyes staring at him, "...Does she really think she can stop the inevitable?"

El neither confirmed nor denied her words; he just kept his gaze on her.

Esmeray turned as she looked at the town, sensing something.

Turning back, she asked, "Sabaoth's weapon, huh?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her body slowly floated, moving past El, whose gaze followed her.

"Are you not going to kill me?" she asked, her voice emotionless, "I am weaker than you right now."

"Azariah will kill you," he replied, turning to look at her, "And nothing you do will change that."

"But by killing me right now, you are freeing him from his burden," she said, her voice sounding convincing. "Just kill me, and everything will be over."

El chuckled at her absurd words; he knew what she was trying to do, and he wasn't going to fall for that.

Not getting the response she desired, she quickly lost interest in him.

"Take care of my son," she whispered softly as her body floated towards the altar, "...When the right time comes, I will make sure to kill you in front of him."

El didn't reply as he looked at her picking up the broken staff levitating above the altar.

Her body flinched slightly before the staff vanished.

"One more left, huh?" she whispered, clenching her fist.

"Yeah, I forgot to ask," she turned around as she looked at El once again, "....Where is Inanna?"

El grimly looked at her as his body slowly started to turn into particles.

"So she is dead, huh?" she whispered as El's body vanished from its place.

Her gaze landed on the burning altar and then towards the place where El stood.

"Guardian of Oracle," she whispered, something clicking in her mind.

And now she knew why Azariah didn't kill Inës.

Her mind shifted to her phone as someone called her.

Taking out her phone, she picked it up.

"What is it?" she asked as her body floated up into the sky.

Adaliah's voice echoed from the other side,

"Lady Mariam is waiting for you."
