Chapter 426-Unexpected
A smirk crept onto his face, but then he sensed a shift in his consciousness.
Dave’s aura changed, and the tattoo on his hand gleamed as a white sword materialized in his grip.
He hadn’t used this sword before, but it felt like it was calling him.
<Sword of Calmness>
The sword, given by his mother and hidden within him all along, had finally surfaced.
“That mark and that sword!”
Azrael exclaimed, bewildered. Dave had displayed numerous unusual techniques, repeatedly catching him off guard.
Dave had mastered many laws, even though he hadn’t reached Saint Sovereign status.
Furthermore, he hadn’t confined himself to just one law.
He also possessed the skills of Beelzebub from the Gluttony lineage and had a titan’s physique that appeared to have evolved into a higher form, radiating a golden aura, unlike others with a mere yellowish aura.
Dave had revealed the Black Slime that had piqued Azrael’s interest, only to make it vanish, leaving no trace.
Now, Dave seemed to be related to the mysterious woman, further complicating matters.
“Do you know the true owner of this sword?”
Dave inquired, observing Azrael’s perplexed expression.
Azrael turned serious and replied, “Who are you to the owner of that sword?”
Dave grinned and said, “Well, I am her son.”
Azrael was stunned, initially assuming Dave was a disciple or inheritor, but he hadn’t anticipated that Dave would be her son.
“Haha, that woman had a son. Well, that’s good; I can use you to manipulate her.”
Azrael harbored a grudge against that woman and required assistance for certain tasks once he returned to the celestial plane.
Azrael didn’t believe Dave could fully utilize such a sword and unleash the devastating techniques capable of shattering any law, including the Absolute.
Dave smirked and remarked, “Looks like I need to scan your memories before I kill you.”
Dave smirked and closed his eyes, gripping the sword.
<Sword Heart>
<Sword of Calmness>
<Tranquil Whirlwind Slash>
A formidable, slow-motion attack materialized before Azrael, slashing toward his body.
“What?”
Azrael was stunned, recognizing the technique.
Boom!
Dave landed a hit, severing Azrael’s left arm. It was the first time Azrael’s godly body had been injured like this.
“Damn, he can use that sword technique without restrictions. How is that possible?”
“Only she should be able to use it!”
Azrael shouted in fear. He noticed his regeneration was slow, and his arm wasn’t healing instantly.
Boom!
As he attempted to ponder the situation, another sword attack materialized before him.
“Shit!”
Boom!
Azrael dodged, unwilling to be struck by the sword again.
Dave saw Azrael’s fear and noted the sword’s sharpness and effectiveness against Azrael.
“Hmm, not bad,”
Dave approved of the sword and realized that while the mark was active, all his sword attacks were greatly amplified.
Combined with his Sword Heart Body, he could maintain this state for an extended period.
Azrael’s innate talents were useless against the sword, forcing him to evade Dave’s attacks.
Dave continued to employ the Sword of Calmness, severely injuring Azrael.
His regeneration couldn’t keep up with the damage.
“No, this is bad.”
Azrael realized he couldn’t endure much longer, so he composed himself and looked at Dave.
“Since you’ve forced my hand, then be gone.”
He produced a drop of his true blood and began casting a spell.
<<Celestial Art>>
<Supreme Darkness>
Dark energy condensed in one direction, resembling a black hole that absorbed countless energies, channeling them into a single devastating attack capable of annihilating even Dave.
Dave smirked, ready to counter with the sword, but the sword’s power was depleted, and it returned to his tattoo.
“What? Unlucky, huh?”
Dave chuckled, observing Azrael’s continued casting.
However, he was helpless to stop it, and the explosion would consume them both.
“Is that a Biju Dama? Hahaha!”
The energy continued to surge, seemingly capable of engulfing the entire Royal Clan Domain.
Boom!
An explosion rocked the area, reducing it to dust, and both were left floating in space.
Dave observed Azrael weakening, yet the energy continued to surge, posing a significant threat.
Azrael smirked, believing he had succeeded.
“Hehe, now experience the power of a true God.”
He pointed his finger at Dave, and black energy rushed toward him at astonishing speed.
Dave’s eyes narrowed, realizing he was unable to dodge as space seemed to imprison him.
Boom!
“Oh shit, my sins and laws are useless.”
Boom!
The explosion wreaked havoc on nearby domains, causing widespread destruction.
“Haha, that’s what you get for fighting this God”
Azrael, believing he had finally slain Dave, prepared to eliminate others nearby.
“Tsk, you’re a stronger ant, but an ant remains an ant. Now, let’s kill everyone here.”
He was about to proceed when he sensed an immense presence above him.
“What? This presence…”
He looked upward and spotted a human figure he had thought was gone, floating in space with closed eyes.
“No, it can’t be. How can he still be alive?”
“I have used 70 percent of my celestial art.”
Azrael felt fear as he sensed Dave’s energy, reminiscent of their past encounter when he joined forces with the Ten Commandments to battle him.
“Something is wrong”
“No, I must leave.”
Azrael sensed that the situation was dire and sought to escape the Immortal Plane.
“Celestial Door.”
He waved his hands, conjuring a portal that would lead him out of the Immortal Plane.
“Hey, how can you leave before this eminence?”
Dave’s voice rang out just as Azrael was about to step through the door.
He turned to see Dave looking at him, exuding a presence that filled him with fear and nervousness.
Stunned, Azrael gazed into Dave’s blue eyes, which turned black, seemingly capable of devouring his very soul.
“No!”
Azrael realized he had fallen into a trap, unable to move his body as he met Dave’s gaze.
“No, it can’t be real.”
Dave gazed at Azrael with a stern expression and pointed his finger at him, declaring,
“This eminence is not someone a weak god can look down upon.”
In response, Azrael underwent a transformation, turning into a small energy form that condensed right in front of Dave.
Azrael didn’t have time to scream, and he was stunned completely.
Dave opened his mouth and swiftly devoured the energy.
“Well, consider it my gift to you, shameless host,”
Dave remarked as Azrael’s presence was consumed.
