Chapter 237: Chapter 234 – Battle Between Special Grade Wizards (1)
"Kill me?" Landing on top of Jörmungund's gigantic head, Asterion seemed to hear something extremely funny. He looked at Herpo and activated his second innate technique [The Imperfect Destruction of Truth]. His status information appeared before Patriarch Black's eyes.
"If you were in your original body, you might actually be able to threaten me, but in your current state... you're pitifully weak." Asterion said. "And like any weak person, you should run away just like you did at Hogwarts, you necrophiliac parasite."
Yes, although Herpo seemed powerful, Asterion could see through his innate technique, he didn't know what the side effects of occupying someone else's body would be, but it definitely wasn't small. Especially noting the amount of Herpo's magical energy, it was barely up to Special Grade.
Asterion assumed that Herpo's original body was alive and hibernating at the moment, he was just using the Horcrux to move around the world without worrying about dying for good.
"Didn't you hear about Zeus and Kronos fighting? Kronos was stronger than Zeus, but he still lost, the weak often have ways to kill the strong." Herpo looked at Asterion and replied calmly, although inside he was cursing the Slytherin House Technique.
Faced with that Innate Technique, there were no secrets that could remain hidden, and for the first time in two thousand years, Herpo wanted to go back in time and slap himself for being so arrogant. He never thought that a spell given to that arrogant Salazar could actually work.
At the same time, as Asterion had said, Herpo was really getting ready to run away, he'd only come here to hinder Asterion as much as possible and then leave unnoticed, unfortunately, Asterion had managed to trace the remnants of Oyama's negative magical energy, even with all the preparations to hide their tracks.
"Zeus and Kronos?" Asterion raised his lips in a cold smile, he looked at Herpo, Philip, Victor, Clarisse and the Special Grade Cursed Spirit. "It really does look like the situation Kronos faced, should I feel honored that five Special Grade beings are surrounding me?"
Herpo's eyes flashed briefly, he smiled and spoke. "Are you prepared to be dethroned from the throne, Your Majesty?"
Asterion's eyes narrowed and he revealed a sneer. "You may look big, but everyone in this place is a slightly bigger ant. In the end, they fight me or run away when they see they're no match for me."
Philip's eyes looked at Herpo and the Cursed Spirit with an indecisive look, but seeing the three Special Grade Spirits summoned by Asterion, his face became determined. Although he didn't know who they both were and especially why a Wizard was cooperating with a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, he didn't care.
It was a great opportunity to kill Asterion Black!
If Asterion died, England and the English allied countries would lose almost 30% of their fighting power!
However, Philip's eyes fell on Victor and Clarisse, he didn't know if these two would accompany him in this fight. The Unbreakable Vow was explicit, both of them should only help block Asterion Black, the Vow said nothing against starting a fight to the death.
Victor and Clarisse could flee at any time without bothering to break the Unbreakable Vow, as it was established that any time the fight threatened their lives, they could leave at any time.
Although it was an extremely lax Unbreakable Vow, who said it was France that needed Special Grade Wizards to fight? So, even though he gave away a lot of money and Nicolas Flamel's inheritance, Philip had to accept such lax terms.
Victor and Clarisse looked at each other, the Cursed Spirits of Asterion really were something they had never seen in their lives, they all seemed extremely powerful and with powers capable of distorting even something as abstract as Fate.
At the same time, Nicolas Flamel's Inheritance was something they both wanted, the Legendary Alchemist's inheritance could certainly make them stronger.
Seeing the determination in both their eyes, Victor and Clarisse approached Philip and gradually surrounded Asterion, who was sitting in a relaxed position on the head of the gigantic World Serpent, Jörmungund.
Herpo's lips lifted at this and he too flew into the sky, followed by Oyama.
Five figures surrounded Asterion in a formation that resembled a circle, but they all didn't approach the gigantic golden serpent for obvious reasons: no one knew the ability of the gigantic Cursed Spirit and they didn't want to be the first to attack and suffer serious injuries.
Seeing this, Asterion stood up and pretended to wipe the dust off his shoulder and looked at the five Special Grade beings. "If you wish, I can wait for you to plan some strategy, treat this as my mercy on you mongrels, unworthy of even licking my feet."
Ouroboros, the Serpent of Destiny, arrived at Asterion's side and protected his master. Although Ouroboros was large, the Silver Serpent looked like a puppy next to Jörmungund, the Serpent of the World. The same could be said of Mahoraga, who appeared behind his master and acted as his bodyguard.
Herpo's face twitched as he listened to Asterion's extremely insulting words, he had to admit, Asterion knew how to speak impactful phrases at times like these.
If Herpo and Victor could control themselves in the face of such words because they were more experienced, the same could not be said of Clarisse and Philip, the French prince in particle, who had always had privileges and flattery as he grew up, could not stand by in the face of such humiliation.
He gripped his sword firmly and attacked Asterion with a look full of rage. Herpo shook his head and thought that children were children, always impulsive. The moment Philip attacked, Asterion had also moved.
Asterion had raised his wand and whispered. "Confringo."
Under Asterion's magic, reality was distorted and in less than the blink of an eye, a huge fireball exploded, making a great deafening sound in the Iberian Peninsula. The heat wave spread for miles, making the air the temperature of magma.
Philip, who had approached Asterion, had his body thrown backwards as his body was literally cooked by the explosion of Asterion's Confrontation.
When Asterion attacked, Oyama, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, attacked!
But, under his confused eyes, his figure couldn't leave the spot, every time he moved, he went back to where he was. The Cursed Spirit's six eyes looked at the Silver Snake and it roared furiously!
He released his Special Grade Negative Magical Energy and broke away from the Serpent's ability on him while a fifty-meter meteor manifested in the air and headed towards the cursed Traitor Silver Serpent.
Ouroboros opened his mouth and attacked Oyama without any hesitation, he ignored the meteor and quickly approached his enemy.
Before Herpo could move, a pale humanoid being appeared before him, the being smiled cruelly as what looked like a blade appeared in his right hand.
Herpo's face turned cold, the last time he fought this monster, he knew that with each turn of the wheel above his head, he would adapt to the Innate Technique that hit him. However, the way to kill the monster was also very simple, kill it before it could adapt!
"You're really dangerous, but I've prepared myself for this day." Herpo muttered to himself, knowing Rose and Asterion's powers, how could he not prepare before he did anything? It was caution that had allowed him to survive for over two thousand years.
Taking an Item that looked like a cube out of his pocket, Herpo smiled coldly and threw it towards the pale humanoid Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
In an instant, the cube glowed and in the blink of an eye, the cube transformed into four golden energy swords. The four swords simultaneously pierced the flesh around Mahoraga, blood spurted into the air and the swords made Mahoraga unable to move again.
Roaring, Mahoraga tried to free himself, but found himself unable to move, even his colossal strength could not remove the golden swords.
"It's useless, it's an inheritance from the goddess Hecate, you need to have a level of power similar to the goddess Hecate." Herpo commented with a smile, looking at the pale monster that could adapt to his innate technique, with Mahoraga trapped, the danger on the battlefield dropped by 50%!
Honestly, he wanted to use it on Asterion, but unfortunately, such items only work on beings of pure energy, something that Cursed Spirits were.
Asterion, who was about to enter close-range combat, stopped and looked shocked at where the fight between Mahoraga and Herpo was taking place. He felt that he had lost control of Mahoraga!
Not in terms of control, he could still control him, but he couldn't personally control Mahoraga and make him move. It was like running out of batteries in a remote-control car.
Seeing the golden swords and the unmistakable magical aura of a Wizard God emanating from them, Asterion cursed the heritage of a wizard who had lived for over two thousand years!
"Jörmungund." Asterion muttered as he controlled the gigantic golden serpent.
Seeing this, everyone quickly moved away, although they didn't know what powers the golden serpent possessed, they didn't want to experiment with their bodies.
Then, under everyone's surprised eyes, a golden aura surrounded Asterion!
"Five minutes before I'm affected by negative magical energy, but during those five minutes, I'm immortal and possess infinite magical energy." Asterion thought with a cold, murderous smile appearing on his lips.
