The seriousness in Arran’s voice was evident as well as his clear aversion to using the ability in question. Sensing this, Joyner and the others wondered what the ability Arran mentioned could be.“When you say there will be consequences, what exactly are we talking about here?”Instead of answering in detail, Arran simply raised his arm which immediately shimmered with a milky radiance before revealing two bracelets worn on his wrists.As soon as the others saw those bracelets, they all immediately came to the same realization. At once, everybody knew what Arran was referring to.The World Essence Pulse Bracers… one of the seven ultimate artifacts of the Aeth civilization. If it was it then indeed it was possible to unleash a powerfully devastating attack that could one-shot the decadent horror instantly. But regarding the current situation, it was indeed no small matter to use it right now in this battle.The World Essence Pulse Bracers were a pair of powerful artifacts with powerfu
The risks were great but the options left very limited. The six of them had to decide now if they would allow Arran to carry on with his plan. But this choice was the same as having no choice at all. If they didn’t do it now, they might not have another chance now. “Do it!” Joyner has his approval, permitting Arran to use the World Essence Pulse Bracers to end things. This caused everybody to sigh. With this decision, they were effectively dooming Earth and all its inhabitants to unknown risks that came as a consequence of their decision. “Got it.” Once the decision was made, Arran didn’t hesitate anymore. With a flap of his wings, Arran flew forward while instructing everybody. “Get back everyone. I don’t know how powerful this next attack is going to be so I might not be able to control it.” Hearing Arran’s warning, the others moved farther back, giving Arran enough space to use his attack while Sable prepared to seal the horror. A few moments later, when arran saw the others
An orchestral hum from Earth responded to the chime of the World Essence Pulse Bracers — like a lady accepting a gentleman’s dance at a ball — as the whole planet began vibrating in tandem with Arran’s heartbeat’s pulsation. A visible fluctuation wrapped around the blue planet as the once invisible barrier became visible to the naked eye.Looking at Earth now, it has undergone a few visible changes than before. From outer space, it looked like the planet had lost its mysterious veil that had protected it — covering up its secrets — and was now exposed for all to see.The irregularities of Earth's current shape that could not be seen before were now clear as day. The once spherical planet had lost its original form and was now looking like an oblong deformity with misshapen bumps and protrusions present all over its body.This irregularity in the earth’s shape was caused by its rapid expansion which was not uniform across its entire regions. The planet was stretched out at its two pole
[Iai: New Moon Technique — Falling Raindrops, Manyfold Slash!]When the decadent horror turned around to attack Arran, instead of its attack landing, it suddenly found that it could not control its body anymore. That is because fine lines suddenly appeared all over its over ten-meter tall body which abruptly split open its body into multiple pieces.What just happened?How did things turn out like this?Such were the questions going through the minds of the Aeth and even the horror — if it were capable of thought — would be asking itself that.Everything happened so fast that nobody could wrap their heads around what was going on. In one second, the horror was perfectly fine but in the next, it was suddenly reduced to a pile of evenly cut pieces of meat and flesh and throughout all this, not a single drop of blood was spilled at all. Just how did things develop to this point?Had Arran suddenly become so powerful?The Aeth were filled with doubt about what they were seeing, feeling th
The universe was rife with countless hazards, some minor and others possessing catastrophic levels of devastation.Gamma-ray bursts, solar flares, cosmic wind erosions, extreme temperature differences… these are some of the more common but minor hazards that occur in the universe.To a spacefarer, these hazards were more dangerous than even a black hole. After all, a black hole is stationary and doesn’t form abruptly while these could occur all of a sudden and more frequently during travel.A qualified space farer should be equipped to handle any of these hazards whenever they may be encountered.But none of the hazards stated above could compare to the true disasters of the universe. These disasters included space-time anomalies, temporal storms, void realm leakage, gravity event flashpoints, and chief among them just for how common it occurred in the universe compared to the others — electromagnetic force storms. And, in Arran’s hand was a synthesized miniature electromagnetic force
Within the cosmic disaster, fierce radioactive waves blew frenziedly in the form of gamma-infused winds carrying extremely penetrative X-rays which flew about like sharp needles. Sharp UV and infrared rays mixed with intense light flashed endlessly in a kaleidoscope of colors that blinded and burned into one’s corneas. Such light and winds mixed together, producing intense heat that burned as hot as the sun.Within the storm, everything was out to kill you. If it weren’t for the sharp winds possessing a sharp tearing force that could rip one to shreds in mere seconds, then the extreme light and heat radiation would burn you to a crisp. Strong stellar lightning discharged within like the thunderous fury of gods rumbling with powerful radio waves that scrambled all signal frequencies beyond thousands of kilometers from its center capable of affecting one’s thoughts, causing them to stagnate and freeze.This was the terror of the electromagnetic force storm. It was something no mere bein
Sable didn’t act immediately. Only when the majority of the horror’s body had formed together in a fleshy clump did he finally make his move?Now!Suddenly, Sable flew forward and rushed at the still-forming horror who despite not fully formed retained some form of perception of the world. It immediately attacked Sable, fleshy tentacles extending from its shapeless body rushing forward to attack Sable.Sable ignored these attacks, simply moving forward with no intention to defend himself. Yet before the tentacles could reach him, they were immediately cut off by a powerful gust that shot from the side.“Don’t ignore me. I’m still right here!”Arran’s voice came from the side, his words laced with blatant threat warning the horror to pay attention to him.At this, the horror seemingly fell into a dilemma unable to decide between continuing his attack on Sable or ignoring him to focus on Arran who was the more threatening enemy.But it was this hesitation that gave Sable enough to final
With so much preparation this time, the horror was the horror was finished. There was nothing else it could do but head toward its doom.The flames of the Grasso Forge churned furiously within its dimensional walls, purple hot fires revolving endlessly with a force that sucked the horror like a vacuum.Unable to resist, the horror entered the forge, and its fate was eventually sealed.As soon as the horror entered the Grasso Forge, Sable quickly performed some hand seals which in the end caused the flames to twist and turn into various shapes until they finally settled into a particular symbol.This symbol, as multiple ecliptic pyramids joined together at their tips to form a pentagram was a rune. Runes, like cryptic seals, were both transcendent languages that carried power within them. They served as mediums through which power could be passed on and maintained.The rune was branded on the flesh of the horror by the purple flames causing it to immediately lose all signs of vitality
