Chapter 22: Attack on the Banquet [III]
“Phase two begins,” Theos declared as he felt the six hooded figures rise from their lotus positions.
One by one, each figure removed their robes, revealing their deformed and disgusting appearance.
Their brains could be seen through their hair, and there were those with deformed eyes, others with small eyes, and others with huge eyes. Several parts of their bodies were robot prostheses, and there were even people whose robot parts took up 90% of their bodies.
Theos unconsciously frowned at the sight of such a scene, even though he had already read about it. Reading about something and seeing it are two completely different things… Especially when that thing is your new reality.
Holding the sword in his right hand, Theos took a fighting stance. ‘Even in my current state, this won’t be easy… And no one will be able to help me. Arnold and Alan must still fight. Eleanor and Nora, I have entrusted you with saving the lives of most of the nobles’ Theos concluded, tightening his grip on his sword.
“Ark, fighting these guys alone is not a good idea,” a voice with a bored tone sounded in the middle of the big battle that was forming.
Theos turned to find the smile of a woman who was beautiful in her own right, but whose blood on her face and worried eyes made her even more beautiful in his eyes.
“Luna?” Theos asked when he recognized her.
“The same,” she smiled and approached him with her light steps.
Instead, the six figures attacked the duo that had formed, but a powerful wave of mana drove them back.
“You know what’s going to happen, right? These guys are much more powerful than the other hooded ones, probably of middle rank, plus that fat guy who will wake up soon and be even more powerful,” Theos said, turning to face the enemies.
“Then I’ll help you as much as I can, I can’t be of much use physically in this battle, but I’m definitely still qualified, so at least I won’t be a hindrance in this battle,” Luna said from behind, looking at the young man’s back, who suddenly stopped when he heard her words.
“Well, you can do whatever you want, I am not forcing you to help me… Your safety is my priority, even if it doesn’t seem like it.” His voice, determined, made Luna shiver slightly, and she blushed.
She wanted to leave, she knew it would be a problem if he was around. But the curiosity to see how he dealt with the danger gnawed at her, so she decided to go back, and she didn’t regret it.
Seeing the man who unleashed his power with total naturalness, defeating his enemies as if they were ants, and facing the enemy with indifference, he even seemed to enjoy it… That made her move for the first time in a long time.
When she saw the man walking away again, she decided to help him this time. She gathered mana in her hands and placed it on the ground. In an instant, three shadows emerged from the arena: three shadow wolves, waiting patiently for their creator’s command.
“Go to him,” she said, and the three wolves immediately ran to meet Theos.
…
“The ritual is complete, now let the merging of the bodies begin,” shouted one of the figures, and they all ran toward the corpse of the corpulent man.
And as if the corpse itself reacted, it crawled closer to the six figures…. Or so it seemed.
“Death,” as the Angel of Death, Theos, landed and crushed the body, which had previously been split in half and was now completely mangled by him.
“No… Nooooooo.”
“Save him, we must save him,” all those figures shouted over and over again, falling to their knees to try to save the body; unaware of the shadow of death slowly lurking.
“Die,” he said, raising his sword. Theos, the shadow of death, made a slash, a final slash to kill them all at once, while the shadow wolves behind him also attacked to kill them in their moment of weakness…. Or so he tried.
When his slash and the wolves’ fangs touched the bodies of the subjects, their bodies began to deform and fall as if they were liquid, and the same robot pieces also fell and merged while the liquid in their bodies merged.
Such a scene caused the spectators to vomit, including Luna, who turned green at the sight.
But Theos was unaffected. With a frown of disgust, he continued to watch the events. ‘I knew this would happen, but it is too disgusting to watch…’, Theos thought.
The process of combining the liquids was quick, and the liquid became mirror-like until it formed a humanoid body…. Or so it seemed.
The robotic parts stuck to the body, a creation that shouldn’t even be called human, not even an animal…. It was an abomination! It had no fixed shape, it looked like a mass that didn’t seem to be affected by gravity.
His small stature of 1.5 meters didn’t help either: the robotic devices weren’t even properly attached to his body, but the robotic arms were attached to his back. The figure didn’t even have arms or eyes, just a lump of dough with two legs.
“Let’s get this over with,” Theos said, feeling disgusted and flying toward the enemy again with his negative mana. Three Shadow Wolves followed beside him. As if in formation, Theos was in the lead, while the wolves flanked and stood below him, forming a perfect diamond formation.
“These wolves are too efficient… Thanks for the help,” Theos thought as he slowed down to let the trio of wolves get ahead of him and attack the abomination, which hadn’t moved an inch.
*Blow!*
Theos felt the wind rush past his face and immediately felt the pressure on his ribs and then the crash against the solid ground. His head was spinning from the impact alone.
The Abomination had attacked.
