Chapter 319: It Will End Today (3)

Perseus POV

This power is something that a mortal shouldn't be able to wield, it's quite strong.

I can already feel the drawback of that as I felt blood flowing out of my eyes and I also coughed some blood up on the ground, I really need to get to the 10-star level if I don't want any harsh drawbacks, Jerah did say that it was a power he originally made for himself.

My head was also ringing and it took a while for me to get myself back together, and went to inspect the body.

I cut off a chunk of its now dead flesh to keep for later, it seems that despite being braindead, its body is still regenerating, I'm gonna let the chief study this. The longer I fought, the faster it healed itself.

I needed a sample at its best conditions because the demon lord will have the same regeneration since this guy was also made with the blood of the first demon lord, Trevor possessed an ultra-regeneration that surpassed the first hero.

I needed to study this regeneration to find a counter against the demon lord because ain't no way that this ability wasn't passed on.

I can sense it earlier, the monster was upping his regenerative speed even further, it knew that it had no chance of winning.

Even as I walked away, its body fully formed itself back together, this is its self-regeneration mode, the monster was made to continue fighting and outlasting the demon lord in terms of endurance and physical toughness, so they used nerves and circulatory organs from prominent healing heroes to replace what it was born with.

Once it's in this form, its regenerative ability will continue to become stronger and stronger, faster and faster, till the regeneration is faster than what its body can handle. It's going to self-destruct.

Its design and abilities are stronger than what the chief told me, and this form...I delayed it this long because I wanted a sample when its regeneration was at an absurd speed, as fast as possible.

The chuck of flesh that I was holding was small, and it seemed to be bubbling as if it was also ready to heal itself, I froze it down to each and every molecule of that thing and throw it in my spatial storage for now as I moved away from the scene.

Ruka POV

"Isn't that overkill?"

"He wants the town erased and wiped off of existence, besides, most of them are already dead, I'll be granting mercy to those who aren't." Lilith said while knocking an arrow she just created and supercharged with magic, "Besides, this is just revenge for me, I can't imagine how many demons died for the creation of that thing.

"When it transformed, I heard loud cries for mercy all over and echoing inside my head, so having its body remain will just be a sad reminder of the torture and experimentations of the lives of my people that went through to make that thing."

"Well, destroy that body in one go, we don't want any evidence. And try not to be too dramatic, you're going to lose to that little girl again if that's the case."

In an instant, the arrow flew from her bow and it streaked through the sky like a comet of destruction. The arrow's trail left a blazing energy that followed, and it hit the ground with a force that shook the earth.

A deafening explosion followed, and the shockwave knocked me off my feet as it impacted the heart of the town, and a tremendous explosion erupted. The force was unimaginable, and the shockwave sent me stumbling backward.

The blast consumed everything in its path, obliterating buildings, trees, and any semblance of life. The fake town now lay in ruins, not even a speck of dust was left.

And the body of the monster earlier was now nowhere to be seen as there was only a crater left on the scene as we retreated away.

Perseus POV

Alright, now, for the closing act, the others will leave, but 'Persia' will be left on the scene, Persia is a character that rarely appears but due to 'her' association with me, she can be pinned down as a citizen of my village.

I even created a fake ID for her. I can use an excuse of the village sending an envoy to check out the unusual energy.

It'll help rule me out of suspicion.

For now, I need to look like I got blown away. I used my blood from earlier and put them somewhere else, and dirtied myself with some dirt nearby, I even stabbed myself with some debris to make it believable.

3rd Person POV

The arrow sent by Lilith was so powerful that even Alban was tasked to check out the energy, but the first on the scene was Lloyd and Rolan, followed by a group of mages. Rolan was sent as an emergency measure as the culprit was quickly deduced to not be him.

It was a horrifying site, there was only a crater at the scene, and their mages on the way here were critically injured as they were hit by debris, some of their earlier mages that were sent to check things out were also injured or dead, the blast was so powerful that magic barriers couldn't protect them from the flying debris.

"Fuck..." a female voice was then heard nearby.

|Author's note: I was about to use moaning in pain, but it sounds wrong, like not grammatically wrong, just...morally.|

Lloyd and Rolan went to check the scene to see Persia in pain and trying her best to heal her injuries.

"Hey, you okay?" Lloyd asked as he went to check on her and helped take out anything that penetrated her skin before using healing magic on her.

"You've seen what happened here?" Rolan asked

"I don't know, I was sent here, and then boom, a large pillar of light came out of nowhere before I was blown away. Fuck, this stings." Persia answered as she was still taking out some of the debris from her body before healing those wounds.

"I thought you decided to be a dancer or something." Lloyd asked, "Where have you been?"

"I was testing out with the watchers just for fun and got accepted, I need some part-time money, I was sent here to check things out since I'm agile and nimble, just leave me here and go check things out, the person who cause this may still be there."
