Chapter 108: Belina Du Manac
Chapter 108: Belina Du Manac
The Raven Armor disappeared. A huge cloud of white smoke evaporated from the white swordsman.
He chugged down two more Healing Potions and two more Mana Potions, calming his symptoms down.
"Can you keep going?" Zeneros’s blade said.
"I can." Zeneros grabbed the blade and continued onward.
Metabolism Manipulation healed his previous damages, both internally and externally. The Healing and Mana Potions were absorbed entirely into his blood stream and were used efficiently by his body.
The white swordsman climbed the empty Golden Tower of the Holy City.
He got to the top where Belina was waiting for him. Her entire body was gold and it shimmered in the knight.
At the top of the tower was a giant golden sphere that constantly produced more Aether. Faith, fear, all kind of beliefs flowed from everywhere around the world toward the sphere.
"So... This is the beginning of everything." Zeneros said.
Belina shrugged. "We wasted many years to create it."
"It was always here. But why didn’t the Priests find it until recently?" Zeneros frowned.
"I hid it of course. No one can find the Gold Stream unless I allow it. But your presence changed many things. All of the faith flowed straight to you. I have to make some drastic changes." Belina walked down from her Golden Throne.
He came face to face toward Zeneros.
The Ancient Invoker was much larger than ordinary human. Her height reached three meters. Her hair was made of gold. Her entire was fused with faith. She was hardly human anymore.
"You’re truly impressive, Zeneros. You’re powerful. When I was at your level, I would barely able to take on one of the First Ten Terror, let alone ten of them at the same time.
I’ll keep my promise, Zeneros Blackburn. As long as you can defeat me. You can sit on the Golden Throne and become the Champion of Hexilia."
Zeneros shook his head, "That thing is evil. It controls the fate of this world. It is unnatural. It needs to die."
Belina frowned, "Don’t you understand what I’m saying. It’s the only way for you to reach Champion."
"It’s not the only way. I am growing more powerful everyday. Not because of faith. Not because of some outside force. But because of myself. You may think me as unreal. But I am as real as it gets, Belina Du Manac.
I will become a Champion with or without its existence."
"And if you disappear once you destroy it?" Belina said.
"Then shall be it."
Emily’s face flashed in Zeneros’s mind. She lost everyone. She had to face this dark world because of the Gold Stream. And she was only one of the many ill-fates. He must stop this.
He must protect the innocent. He must strike down evil. And he must vanquish the deceptor.
He must vanquish the Gold Stream.
"I was thinking of going easy on you so you can take the Golden Throne. You’re the best candidate in our world. Even better than me. But if that is your stance, I must kill you!" Belina raised her hands.
Fire, water, air, earth, plant, lightning, metal. All seven elements of the Invokers appeared. They were all golden colors.
Zeneros had already finished his potions before walking into this room. All five enhanced potions at once and twice the dosage as before.
"En Garde!" The white swordsman lifted his sword. The Raven Armor returned.
The thick red aura of Adrenaline enveloped the Raven Knight.
"Ten times!" Zeneros shouted.
The floor around him cracked. The aura grew even larger.
"You’re going to kill yourself like this, Zeneros!" Iganu said.
"Twenty times!" The Golden Tower trembled.
Zeneros became the bright red star that the entire East Continent could see.
General Dragovic, Doctor Avaline, Dwayne Xolotl stood up.
"It is the final battle!" General Dragovic said.
Neros and Oliphim were at the outskirt of the Holy City at the moment. "He can do it!"
Kaito watched everything on his television. He sighed deeply. "Master Caine has locked himself in his study room for a few days now."
Nina, Quill, and Nicholas watched the live broadcast inside the Metabolic Institute.
"He’s not even Elite anymore." Nina mumbled. "That is Champion-Rank power."
The seven elements shot toward Zeneros. He moved so fast that everything looked slow in his eyes.
He dashed toward the Gold Sphere and drove the blade at it.
"Not that fast!" A golden metallic shield wrapped around the sphere. For the first time, his attack couldn’t go through something. It couldn’t even make a dent on the shield.
Gold air shot at him and blew him away from the Gold Sphere. His attacks wouldn’t go through to destroy the Gold Sphere. To destroy it, there was only one way.
"I must kill you first!" He struck at Belina. But a golden metal shield appeared and stopped him.
"Idiotic! How fast can you be compared to my thoughts?!"
Golden lightning struck at Zeneros, burning the skin off him. He zigzagged out of the area.
Invokers trained their thought. For a beast that lived for thousands of years like Belina, she had trained herself to be incredibly quick in the mind.
She might not be as fast as Zeneros. But her perception was as fast as him. And that was enough.
Zeneros coughed out a pool of blood. He stopped for a moment before continuing. This time, he circle around Belina and struck her randomly.
Golden metal shields appeared and blocked his attacks every time. But he slowly became quicker and quicker.
"Tch! Insect!"
Fire engulfed the entire Golden Tower, sending the Raven Knight out to the sky. His two black wings spread out.
Belina walked out of her toward. Gold dirt formed beneath her feet and carried her out of the tower.
"Let me show you what actual power looks like, child."
Belina formed a sphere in her hands. Her body enlarged and became a giant golden statue.
The statue had a feminine face with a halo behind it. From afar, it looked like a God.
Oliphim and his Priests saw the statute. It was their God. The face that they knelt for many times. But they didn’t kneel this time.
"You must win, Zeneros!"
