Chapter 511 Undying
It looked like Arnes was cutting through space when his YinYang beams shot through the surroundings.
Wherever the web-like beams collided sparks were created destruction and chaos followed suit. Thousands of monsters all over the ground were cut into countless pieces, turning into collateral damage.
However, the reaped lives of the monsters were something neither Arnes nor Dilan could be bothered about.
Dilan's smile had frozen in the air, as a piercing pain swept all over his body. All of a sudden, he was unable to feel anything and it was as if his sight blurred.
Yet, instead of being unable to perceive anything, or do anything, a unique situation occurred. He felt his breath being taken away as something pulled him high up in the air all of a sudden.
Dilan instinctively opened his eyes, but what he found right in front of him was something that confused him…it was his own body…cut into several pieces!
'What the hell…' Dilan had no idea what was going on, but he could see his body from a bird's eye view.
His father was also in his sight, and so was the disgusting smile Arnes Cier always bore whenever he beat up his own flesh and blood to a pulp.
However, right now, Dilan was not just beaten up. His body was cut apart and pierced through mercilessly. His father didn't show any hesitation anymore and killed his son over and over again…or so he desired.
'Astral projection? Well…whatever… Pull me together!!' He shouted in his mind, forcing his body to react to what his entire being willed.
Dilan was still not sure what exactly was going on, but he could tell that his body would listen to every command he issued, no matter if it was labeled as impossible or not.
Following his order, millions of bloody threads shot out from all over his body. The threads connected to the severed lumps of flesh and they pulled it all together as if they were sewing him back.
Simultaneously, Dilan's astral projection was pulled back inside his body. He regained his normal sight and stared brightly at his father.
"I'm still alive, you fucker!" Dilan thundered at the top of his lungs while using a tremendous amount of mana to accelerate the speed at which he regenerated. Within a single second, the pieces of his body had been reattached and it wouldn't take much longer before he regained the same power he had before he had been 'killed'.
"Just stop freezing the time around me, will you!" He shouted out loud, causing his father's eyes to widen.
At first, Dilan didn't know why he was not able to move, or activate [Instant Teleportation] whenever his father attacked him. Only when he saw the stopped timer of the Advanced Destruction Spirit's countdown did realization strike him.
His father did not only possess the power to destroy all substances and even the soul of beings, but it was possible for him to stop the time around certain targeted existence, even if it was only for a quarter of a second.
That was shocking, but it was not something that could be used effectively against Dilan. Even if Arnes Cier was able to stop time around Dilan, and prevent him from escaping the YinYang blasts, it was not as if that would be enough to end his life for good!
His [Undying] Origin ability was overflowing with vigor, and it used the accumulated nutrition that Dilan had stored since he had begun eating tremendous amounts of food to make sure that no incident similar to the one in Shiron could repeat itself.
Dilan had felt that his situation would have been much easier to overcome if he had been in possession of more nutrition. He had died over and over again when the humongous meteorite had impacted on him, but he had survived it nonetheless. All of that was thanks to his Origin ability, and the ability capable of making the impossible possible.
"No, forget it…continue freezing the time around me…if you still have enough mana to do so!!" Dilan laughed out loud, ignoring the blood that continued to trickle out of his mouth, nose, and eyes.
His father had activated an item ability, something that caused Dilan's blood to burst out of his orifices. However, even that was not enough to defeat Dilan Cier, the man even death feared!
"Looks like you have no Mana left…poor you…did I cut off your mana supply by killing your 800 beloved subjects?" Dilan asked, his expression turning crazier by the second. He was hovering in the air using the Gravity Domain after he had manifested the Hyel Destructo Armor Set once again, and he pointed at his father with ridicule apparent in his eyes.
"You barely have the stats of a Tier-3 Ascender, yet, you act as if you ascended to Godhood. Don't you think that your lent powers made you think too highly of yourself?" Dilan burst into laughter and he summoned the Blessed Blade as well.
The Advanced Destruction Spirit merged with the Blessed Blade and Dilan didn't hesitate to issue a handful of Destruction Slashes.
With [Perfect Appraisal] it was no problem for Dilan to accurately assess his father's condition. The power of the Light and Darkness mark was separated from Arnes Cier's stats. There was no need for him to possess otherworldly high stats to keep using the Light and Darkness Mark.
However, the marks were not filled with infinite power either! They had to be charged with any kind of power, whether it was mana, essences, or even life force. It was possible to store a tremendous amount of power inside the marks, but even that accumulated power was something that had nearly been used up by now.
"You are way too arrogant, DAD!" Dilan roared as he disappeared from his position. He appeared above his father, pierced out with the Blessed Blade, and cut deep into his right shoulder.
The Blessed Blade dug deep into Arnes' shoulder as Dilan twisted the dagger and he pulled it out immediately afterward. However, Dilan was not yet done. He used the Gravity Domain to exert the highest possible gravitational force on Arnes Cier while summoning an Intermediate Wind Spirit to support Dilan's use of the Green Magic.
He created a humongous air bullet above his head and fired it at his father, who was smashed into the ground with terrific force.
Upon impact on the ground, the air bullet exploded, pushing Arnes Cier deeper into the ground.
Dilan's action killed hundreds of monsters that had been trying to get their hands on his body, which played into his hands.
[Taunt]!
He reactivated Taunt, forcefully dissolved the fear many monsters in the proximity had felt and made sure that the monsters would dig into the bodies of the monsters he had just killed.
At the same time, Dilan hoped that the monsters would start eating his father as well. After all, it looked like his father would make for a very delicious meal!
Arnes Cier was lying in the center of the crater Dilan's attack had caused and his eyes were seemingly empty.
"You are not yet dead…just let me have some fun while you're unconscious!" Dilan exclaimed, slashing down the Blessed Blade once again.
He created a powerful Destructive Slash that barely cut into the flesh of his father's chest, making a fountain of blood gush out of him that attracted numerous monsters.
'I wonder what you will do when you realize that you're getting eaten by monsters upon waking up…'
