Chapter 45: Curse
*Boom*
The violent wave of negative Mana crashed brutally into the subject, causing a huge explosion that sent Theos and Luna sliding backward.
‘Did I kill him? ‘He must be weakened from getting out of there,’ thought Theos, between closing his eyes to look over all that smoke that was slowly dissipating.
“Theos… What exactly is that?”, Luna asked off to the side, the two wolves already fully summoned and out of their shadows.
“That’s… Possibly the fusion of a human with a Curse,” Theos stated continuing to watch the smoke slowly dissipate.
Luna didn’t ask any more questions, because she already knew the complexity of the battle from seeing Theos’ concentration and panicked expression earlier. An always confident figure, for the first time, experienced panic… What was that creature that could frighten the one she considered a monster among monsters?
Theos, on the other hand, was thinking of a thousand and one plans for the current situation. ‘Not with a thousand years of planning would I have imagined a cursed creature to be here, not even its existence should exist in this part of the kingdom,’ Theos thought uncomprehendingly.
*Whosh*
But he couldn’t think much about it.
Not even had the human dissipated when the figure appeared, not just anywhere, but it was… In front of him, separating him only a couple of centimeters away.
“Aghhh,” Theos group as he took a blow that sent him flying backward, crashing into the concrete wall and being embedded there, with more than three broken ribs.
“What the fuck… Uhhh,” he couldn’t even curse, blood spurting out of his mouth.
“Theos!”, Luna shouted, worriedly at the powerful attack he received. But she couldn’t let her guard down; mentally, she commanded a wolf to charge toward the figure that was now standing idly by.
Meanwhile, the other wolf went to Theos to help him.
‘Shit, this is bad,’ he concluded as he felt the pain in his body, but not letting himself be overcome by fear or pain, with all his strength he tried to get out of the concrete wall, with the help of the wolf the things made easier for him, but not that he was happy about it.
“Help Luna, you bastard, Help her!” he cried out in desperation, trying to get out of the concrete wall with all his might.
But the wolf didn’t listen to him, why would he listen to him? His mistress and creator gave him this task, so for him, it was an order that could not be broken.
But such a reaction made Theos more desperate. “To hell with it all then,” he shouted, slowly making a small blade with his Mana, which I then wielded to stab his very skin.
“…” He said nothing but continued the process of cutting the skin on the left arm that was embedded, ripping off all of his skin; his arm was freed completely, but with the living flesh on his now sensitive arm.
With the help of the left arm, augmenting his physical capabilities with more Mana, he detached his other arm from there, and with more ease, he completely got out of the concrete wall.
“I’ll kill you if it’s the last one I do,” he roared, his crimson eye began to glow madly as he grabbed the sword from the ground and propelled himself into battle.
“…” His eyes fixed on Luna, who contained a lot of wounds on her body, bruises, and cuts, and even her right arm seemed to be leftover natural as if it had been left without bones.
The shadow armor she summoned was slowly disappearing, now only having a part of her that protected her chest and legs.
On the other hand, the subject, a curse, also had armor but complete, his armor as a tissue of his muscles protected his whole body, including a helmet of muscle tissues that protected his head.
His figure also grew, reaching 2 meters in height and now as sturdy as a mountain.
With his right hand, the curse strangled the shadow wolf, destroying it completely.
It was like a one-sided beating, Luna could no longer fight because of her injuries and exhaustion.
But Theos was not willing to lose. With his heart of Mana, he activated his Path: Celestial Corrupted.
Instantly, darkness itself appeared in his body surrounding him as he moved closer to the Curse, who noticed the explosive surge of Mana.
Curse didn’t say a single word; he launched himself toward Theos, enveloped in darkness; the impressive speed of the two parties brought them face to face in less than a second.
*Boom*
The two clashed with their power, making the whole room tremble from the mere impact of the two forces.
The shockwave spread even for Luna, who had to move away to watch the battle of the two titans…
“But I won’t stand idly by,” she confessed, gathering Mana in her hand, the shadows gathering there to gradually form a great spear.
Instead, the darkness surrounding Theos disappeared, revealing a different figure, the crimson cracks on the left parts of his face became more evident and deeper, but his right eye did not even contain pupils, totally black and dark.
His body became more robust, with two rather long wings on his back giving him more momentum.
The figure and he collided, Theos with his Death Fragment, and the curse with its very tissues created a kind of sword that resisted the power of a Legendary weapon.
Below them, cracks in the ground formed more and more, but neither of them paid any attention to it.
But that wasn’t all the game for Theos, who, with a face colder than ever, smiled mysteriously. “Nah, I’ll win… I’ll make you experience worshipping a superior being from below…”, he confessed, his wings flapping little by little with more speed, making Theos gain more strength and pushing the curse back.
The recoil didn’t even affect the curse’s attitude, the mass of flesh on his head began to grow, teeth protruding and grinning with mock amusement.
“Weak,” he blurted out a single phrase, the phrase Theos hated the most in his entire life, but…
Suddenly, both of his arms snapped off.
