GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



The spell tower didn't respond to the shouts of the immortal link. Her senses and perception have been cut off. Silly her, she doesn't know that this is not the time to be unaware of what's going on around her. For the reaper has come calling and the door is wide open. 

He moved beside her in the blink of an eye and slashed his blade at her as fast as lightning. He put all the power he can summon in such a short amount of time into the attack. 

His crystal blade shown brightly. Its brightness was a match for his glowing eyes filled with violent intent. He brought his blade down to see destruction done and to see his enemy undone. He wants to see her existence unraveled and made bare before his very eyes. All his anger and frustration were poured as a torrent into his blade to form this single deva attack.

His blade sang an eerie and mournful tune. It vibrated under the weight of world power that Soverick overloaded it with in reckless abandon. Then the sharp edge of the blade howled like a tempest as it was brought down. There was an explosion even before the blade touched the paragon. There was a lone barrier on her. It set off the unstable energy within the blade. 

The resistance of the barrier was pitiful. It shattered like glass in the face of the thundering explosion. The blade and the exploding power shredded through that barrier and sought to tear the spell tower apart. Her body would have been scattered into the wind in any other situation.

She didn't know what killed her. First, there was a mental blow. Then there was a physical blow that finally overwhelmed her consciousness. She passed away from the stun.

He nodded and said, "Good riddance." 

He really is pissed with the Paragons. They are too strong. But he is also pleased with his performance. He is pleased that he could handle so many Paragons who are kings of law just like him on his own. 

Legion-6 is supposed to be a paragon. Back when Gehaldirah acquired the body parts for the race that Legion-6 is to reincarnate into, he had to skulk around and avoid the Paragons of that race. Gehaldirah was afraid to draw their attention or ire. But now, he can hold his own against multiple paragons. It is an indication of the progress that Legion has undergone.

"More is yet to come." He said to himself.

Perfection is still a long way to go. For now, he will handle the obstacles toward that goal one at a time. At this moment, the Vipers are the obstacles to be overcome. They are standing in his way to victory. Victory means two requests from a world God, so they must be eliminated.

He turned his eyes to the far side of the arena. Then he disappeared in the direction of the other flag. A tempest followed behind him as he flew in the air. The air was wiped into a frenzy because of him. The tempest passed above the fighting on the battlefield where it stopped. 

Soverick appeared above the fighting armies. The battle sage monkeys looked at him with wide eyes. They don't know why he is here. He shouldn't be here since he was supposed to be guarding their flag. The Vipers didn't know him so they kept fighting without paying much attention to him.

"7," He said to all of them. "That's the number of paragons that have been killed."

Both the Vipers and the battle sage monkeys were very surprised at his declaration. They can hardly believe their ears. The Vipers didn't believe because of their respect for the paragons while the battle sage monkeys couldn't believe it because of what they experienced at the hands of a paragon. The little they have experienced from them shows them to be worthy of the title of paragon.

"Lies. You're telling lies." Some of the Vipers clamored. They refused to believe what he said.

Soverick didn't say anything to them. He continued with what he came here for. 

He sneered and said, "I am going now to kill the other 2. I want all the Vipers wiped out before I am done. We will wipe them out to the last man standing just like our ancestors did."

He repeated himself, "Did you hear what I said? WIPE. THEM. OUT."

Then he left. He left behind the echoes of his words. WIPE THEM OUT. His little speech had a visible effect on the battle. The battle sage monkeys became invigorated. They know Soverick and can count on him. If he said he killed all 6 of the paragons that tried to take their flag that means he killed all 6 of them. Now he is saying with full confidence that he wants to kill the other two. It means that they have nothing to fear. Their morale rose and they fought with renewed vigor.

The reaction of the Vipers was mixed. Some of them believed what he said and it had a negative impact on their already low morale. They already saw one of their paragons being killed and they are currently losing without a paragon in sight. If their paragons are still around, why are they not helping now that they are needed? 

Most of the Vipers didn't believe what Soverick said. He is just a furry and he said he wants to kill a paragon. Some of them saw the attack paragon die but they also know that the attack buff is weak. Their other paragons are very strong. There is even an immortal power amongst them.

How can those powerful paragons be killed by some furry? How can an immortal paragon be killed by something other than another immortal paragon? It is simply unbelievable that a furry can stand against an immortal power and survive, much less kill it. After all, the immortality of an immortal power ensures that they can't be killed.
