Chapter 852: The Same Path as Him
Teeth? Small mountains? Blades?
These weren’t teeth at all. They were four massive, rotating blades. Orion stood in the center of the Four-Gate Blade Formation, the opening gambit Chix had laid from the very beginning. It had been this very artifact that had yanked Orion out of his Ghostly Steps.
Kch-Kch-Kch!
The sound of the four giant blades grinding and cutting at Orion was terrifying. In front of him, the Abyssal Devil Shield manifested, releasing a defensive barrier that forcibly held the blades at bay. Even so, the sound of steel grinding against the shield was enough to make Orion’s heart pound.
"Such impressive resources you have," Chix commented, his voice tinged with envy at the shield’s power.
"Is that so?" Orion retorted. "Then by all means, enjoy it."
Letting the giant blades continue to grind against the shield, Orion focused his will. The pair of devil eyes on the face of the Abyssal Devil Shield snapped open. An invisible ripple spread out—the Devil’s Gaze.
An opportunity.
Orion’s figure flashed. When he reappeared, he was behind Chix. His trident blazed with fire and crackled with electricity, and because of his Instant Impact, it carried a powerful sonic shockwave.
Against another opponent, this sonic attack might have been negligible, something neither of them would have paid much mind. But against this Death-Soul, stunned by the Devil’s Gaze and with its defenses down, the sonic damage was immense.
