Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Battles XII
He remembered the word from the novel;
'At the appearance of the heavenly flame; all matter under the heavens will melt. . .'
The words of the book fueled Nexus. His blood pressure sky rocketed, as well as his hear beat, and overall body temperature. In that moment, his eyes focused intensely- blocking out everything else, but the demon wolf.
With a dazzling speeed, Nexus' hands tore up from his sides to his chest. The air around him shifted like morning mist over a lake. In a flash, his elbows arched, and he leaned forward in a slight slouch- angling his arms behind him like a attacking samurai.
With the fierceness of an erupting volcano, Nexus literally shot forward. Under both his feet, two burst of red flames suddenly erupted like rocket boosters on a space shuttle. In a blaze of fury, he rode the boost-mass ratio of the raging fire boosters- right at the B-rank LEADING wolf.
The wind rushed in his hair as he lunged at the massive creature at the sonic speed. Time slowed, his pupils dilated, and his ears screamed as the terrain blurred into blurry outlines. Everything in the background blurred- bringing into focus; the big bad wolf.
The wind wolf, still stationed before Nexus, was not at all prepared to handle or react to his sudden burst of speed.
Mid flight, Nexus channeled a dense amount of qi through his sword, and swung the blade in a crescent arc. Out from the dreadful weapon came rolling waves of fire. The slash sliced through the air in a flaming arc- as long as three humans, and seven times as thick.
Blazing forth, ripping through the air, and burning up the oxygen, it saturated air, occupied the troposphere- and eclipsed the land completely in a red glare.
A few feet away, the wind wolf stood balanced on all fours.
Watching the fire storm rage towards it. its large, glossy, fiery red eyes screamed silently like two fiery pools of lava. The red roaring flames surged through the air- roaring vindictively. It was too big to move quickly enough to evade it.
So, the muscles around its massive jaws relaxed, forcing its terrible jaws open. Feeling the rage of the incoming destruction, the Leading Wolf opened its mouth, and with all its pent up energy, it- HOWLED.
The penetrating waves of sound hit the air with an explosive echo. Its reverberating sound waves echoed loudly, riding the heels of each other, surging right at the cataclysmic flame that was in bound.
Like scripted music sheets for an opera, the dreadful splurge of acoustics was accompanied by an intended effect;
A wind scythe rode on the tail of the howl, and charged right at the rushing Heavenly Flames. It was a powerful counter. But not nearly enough to stop it. The two of met- like the clashing of a rhinoceros and a warthog.
But Nexus' attack carried all the weight and destructive intent of a mini apocalypse. Enveloping the air in a blaze of red, and suffocating heat, the powerful surge of Heavenly Flames swallowed the wind blade in a sweeping gust- and raged forward, towards the now defenseless Leading Wolf.
Looking like an exclamation point, the creature's eyes widened.
Its low-hanging jaw dropped even lower.
The jet black fur on its face, and body glowed under the red glare of the incoming flames. but its body was neither quick enough, nor reactive enough to do anything other than watch. Finally, the raging wall of fire curled itself into a fist, honed in on the beast's head, and slammed into the creature head on.
The concussive force broke its snout.
The wolf roared in agony as its humongous form flew backwards.
The roaring flames swallowed its howls, and greedily licked up its black fur- burning bright red, stinging into his open flesh, and burn wounds. skidding back a few steps.
Quick on his feet, Nexus' form cruised through the air, fast as lightning and blazing like a comet- he emerged from the shadows of the Heavenly Flames, just as it was burning out into the atmosphere. In his arms, a white piece of paper rustled lightly in the wind- it was a rune paper engraved with Frozen Charms.
Disoriented, its entire muscle mass was kindled by the slight tremors that had arrested its body. Its quick searching eyes eyes clocked Nexus. But before Leading Wolf could blink, Nexus' had run a full circle around its humongous dark body- sticking the paper to its shaggy hide.
Having executed the dangerous maneuver,
Nexus finally skidded to a halt, hovering in the air, standing right in front of the demon wolf. He stared at it eye ball to eye ball, noting all its features up close. Next to it, Nexus looked like a toddler standing in front of a pony.
The difference in stature was infinitesimal- almost mocking.
Demon wolf had been disoriented by Nexus'sudden burst of speed. Its whole body seemed to have atrophied by his flashing form. It was even more shocked that Nexus was standing in front of it so casually!
But the shock instantly melted away. As its red eyes glowed from deep beneath its deep sockets, electric bolts reconnected all its shocked synapses and brain fibers.
With the whole of its mental energy, it tried to open its mouth to snap Nexus' head off his shoulders.
But mental energy was all the wolf had.
Its body refused to respond.
It suddenly felt like it was trapped in quick sand- with zero movements.
For the first time in its entire existence, Leading Wolf felt the crippling waves of despair creep up on it. Even though wolves couldn't dream, it found itself in a living nightmare! Its large fucking body refused to move! It remained frozen in place, like a rock statue, unable to even roll its eyes frantically.
With every bit of mental strength it had, the demon wolf tried again and again, exerting a tremendous amount of strain on its brain- causing it to nosebleed on the spot.
"I gotta say, you've been a bit of a menace to me today," Nexus was standing right in front of it, looking it in its terror filled eyes and addressing it calmly as though it could understand him;
". . .you could have been a good dog and stayed away with your friends. You could have literally been asleep right now, but no- you decided to travel all the way here to disturb my night, and avenge your bitch dog. . ."
Nexus chuckled as his other hand went to the marble hilt of his flaming sword;
". . .you're going to die here buddy, and your bitch wolf will still be alive- see how stupid you are?"
Nexus voice rang with no emotion- just flat disappointment. He had lost another night of precious sleep because of this pointless fucking invasion.
Using the burst of red flames beneath his feet as a booster, Nexus levitated off the ground in a blaze of rumbling fire and gathering dust.
