Chapter 76: The Night of Judgment 5
Aldrian took out the bow and an arrow, the aura from the artifact spreading as though it demanded recognition from everyone around. He had decided to pull out the divine artifact given to him by Emperor Thonias, his legacy weapon, the Earth Shattering Bow, along with the Wind Slasher Arrow.
This time, he needed to end the beast quickly, or the destruction it would cause would be immense. The Black Rock Snake was one of the most venomous creatures on the continent, but now that it had reached the emperor stage, it could turn entire regions into a no man’s land, rendering the land barren and uninhabitable, filled with its deadly venom and poison.
He didn’t want to rely on a divine artifact like the Earth Shattering Bow, but he had no choice. If only he had a Heaven-grade sword, then he could use Slash of the End. He couldn’t unleash the full power of the Slash of the End with just sword shaped energy. With that in mind, he finally resolved to use the divine artifact, though he wasn’t sure what the outcome of its strike would be.
The Black Rock Snake, gazing up at the small figure of Aldrian high in the sky, suddenly felt a terrible aura emanating from the bow Aldrian had just taken out. A surge of bad feeling filled its heart, telling him that if the strike from the bow came down, it would be the end. His instinct as the emperor stage beast were keen, and he trusted his instict completely.
"Die!" the beast roared, lunging upward and spitting venom laced with corrosive properties. To its surprise, the venom halted mid-air and then rebounded back toward it. Aldrian had used his water element comprehension to control the poisonous liquid.
Unable to dodge with its massive body, the venom splashed across its own scales. The sizzle of burning flesh filled the air, enraging the creature further. In a fury, it increased its speed, surging toward Aldrian. All the while, its body continued to emerge from the depths of hole, revealing just how massive the emperor stage Black Rock Snake truly was.
Aldrian continued flying upward, using his energy manipulation within his domain until the snake could no longer keep up. His domain extended to a height of 550 kilometers, making it impossible for the snake to catch him if Aldrian chose to ascend to avoid it.
Without wasting any time, he readied the bow, notching the arrow and drawing the string. As he pulled, he gathered energy from within his domain, not just the newly created domain in this city, but also the domain of the Ivory Empire. The air trembled with the immense concentration of energy surging from Aldrian’s body, and the divine bow shone with golden energy, exuding a mighty aura.
Agrin felt a deep trepidation in his heart as he sensed the aura from the bow, now amplified by the surge of golden energy. He was certain that a strike from this bow would kill him a thousand times over if it hit.
