Chapter 845 - 845
When things can't be done, it's time to slip away!After seeing through the battle situation, Primordial turned around to leave.
"Don't even think about it!"
Eiji naturally couldn't allow her to escape. He had done all this precisely to obtain Primordial. If she slipped away right under his nose, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
Eiji pivoted on his feet and gave chase, instantly appearing before Primordial.
"Clang—!"
But when he swung his sword, it was blocked by the gem shields surrounding Primordial.
Eiji's gaze sharpened.
There were several layers of gem shields. His sword strike only managed to shatter the outermost layer, while the inner layers remained completely untouched!
Immediately after, the outermost gem shield automatically repaired itself, as if his strike had never happened.
"Hmph, fool! The defense of the First requires at least an attack on the level of a True Ancestor's Familiar Beast to break. For someone of your strength to shatter one layer is already praiseworthy, but don't think you can keep me here!"
Primordial lifted her chin, looking down on him with an arrogant expression.
Even so, she felt a surge of relief in her heart.
This defense was something she had set up with all her might.
It was precisely because she had witnessed Eiji's earlier exchange with Koyomi Shizuka that she felt a sense of crisis, prompting her to deploy multiple layers of gem shields from the start.
If she hadn't sensed his threat immediately and prepared accordingly, she would likely have been sliced into countless pieces by now!
The First Familiar Beast, the Divine Goat's Diamond, was most renowned for its indestructible defense. Those capable of breaking its gem shields could be counted on one hand across the entire world!
Even if one layer could be broken, several more remained behind, and shattered layers could be continuously regenerated, making the defense virtually endless!
In truth, the Diamond Goat's shields could also reflect the enemy's attacks, but for some reason, this person showed no signs of being affected by the reflection. He wasn't injured by the rebound, nor was he sent flying.
Only the ground, at some point, had cracked open into another large crater.
Keeping her here was simply impossible!
Unless he could shatter all the gem shields on her body in a single strike!
But such a feat was absolutely beyond Eiji's capabilities. Even if he used the reversed holy sword from before, it would still be impossible!
Primordial was confident of this!
"Come forth—Seventh Familiar Beast, Kiffa Ater (The Black Sword of Yama)!"
At her command, the massive three-vajra sword reappeared in the sky.
This time, it stood only about 300 meters tall, and its blade was covered in cracks, as if it might shatter at any moment, exuding a breathtaking beauty.
These were the marks left by the earlier reversed holy sword's blast.
The light cannon released by that sword possessed power rivaling that of a True Ancestor's Familiar Beast. It had struck the Yama Sword from the side, and the fact that it hadn't shattered on the spot was only due to its exceptional durability.
After being pushed into the sea, Primordial had immediately recalled this Familiar Beast.
She hadn't intended to use this sword again, but now, driven into a corner, she had no choice.
"Boom—!"
A dull, heavy roar echoed like a spring thunderclap.
The massive three-pronged vajra sword descended in the blink of an eye, crashing onto the already shattered quartz gate plaza in less than a second!
This counterattack was so sudden that even Eiji had no time to intercept it. The sword fell from the sky like a pillar of heaven, instantly piercing through the entire ground!
A tremendous shockwave spread like an avalanche, with cracks extending for kilometers around. A storm of dust swept through, turning the area within hundreds of meters into an invisible forbidden zone.
Eiji escaped at the first moment. The three-pronged vajra sword fell directly above his head—had he been any slower, the blow would have crushed him into paste!
"Boom—!"
The deafening roar echoed in all directions.
Under this impact, the entire old southeastern district shattered—steel, resin, and magic all crumbling apart. The artificial island, several kilometers wide, fractured into pieces in an instant!
The seventh beast, Yatagarasu's Black Sword, possessed the ability to manipulate gravity!
If it fell from thousands of meters in the sky at supersonic speed, it could pulverize the ground for dozens of kilometers in an instant!
This time, to facilitate her escape, the Primogenitor summoned the Black Sword from a height of several hundred meters and crashed it down with maximum force. Even so, it completely shattered the old southeastern district!
After delivering this desperate blow, the already exhausted Black Sword completely disintegrated.
The Primogenitor now had only one beast left: the Diamond Sheep.
"Damn you, Nina Adelard!"
Hovering mid-air, the Primogenitor spread her five pairs of wings, cursing in disgust.
If not for Nina Adelard's disobedience, she would still have at least three beasts at her disposal. It was because of Nina Adelard's sudden betrayal that the highly effective Golden Lion couldn't join the battle.
"If the Lion's Gold had joined the fight…"
The Primogenitor muttered to herself.
Then she fell silent.
Even she had to admit that, even if the Two-Horned Crimson had not betrayed her and joined forces with the Lion's Gold to attack Eiji, the result would likely have been the same—cleaved in two by Eiji's sword!
"I should leave now!"
The Primogenitor sighed weakly, her heart growing heavy.
She spread her wings and flew toward the distant ocean.
In that direction, she could faintly sense the presence of two vessels. As long as she retrieved those two vessels and took the opportunity to reclaim and discipline the twelfth and Nina Adelard, she would still have a chance for revenge!
Before leaving, she glanced down below.
The old southeastern district of Itogami Island had completely collapsed, with seawater eagerly flooding in. It wouldn't be long before this artificial island sank beneath the waves.
Did that guy die?
The Primogenitor hoped wistfully.
She knew the thought was somewhat unrealistic, but what was wrong with hoping? Hope wasn't a crime!
And what if?
What if that brat had been careless and accidentally got hit?
It wasn't impossible, right?
"Hmm?"
With her superior vampire vision, she spotted a figure standing amidst the ruins below.
He stood there, gripping his sword, poised and unwavering.
She frowned. That bastard was indeed still alive.
And she recognized that stance.
He was gathering momentum.
The moment she realized it, a chill ran down her spine. Her blood surged rapidly, and a sense of crisis—as if death itself were staring at her—abruptly welled up from the depths of her heart.
Though he had done nothing, not even glanced her way properly, she faced death head-on.
"Mesarthim Adamas!"
A great horned ram composed entirely of diamond materialized before her, countless gemstone shields arrayed in front as a natural barrier.
But it was all useless.
That was what she understood after the sword's gleam had passed.
"Light-Chaser—!!!"
Momentum built to its peak.
All her strength, skill, and spirit fused into this single strike—a genuine, ultimate sword technique!
In that instant, the sword vanished completely.
