The giant was not dumb by any means and he didn't follow after the kill blindly like the first time and allow Rahz to cut him a second time, instead he swung his 2H hammer backwards trying to catch the pesky ant that cause him the embarassement before but this time he found noone.
In the meantime, people were already moving Degark to the back and healing him while the dwarf warrior stood his ground and the Ogre provided some assistance via the intercept ability.
The Giant looked to the front one more time but couldn't shake the feeling that something was coming for him and that something, made his hair stand up.
The giant moved forward slowly and swung his hammer while the fire elementals brought a rain of fire that left poodles on the ground and caused even more chaos.
The Dwarf used everything in his book and surprisingly enough between the two of them, they were able to hold on for a couple of swing and when the giant least expected it, Rahz appeared from the shadow of the giant and cut his Achilles tendon again making it lose balance.
RUNE BURST x 12
BLADE EXTENSION
Apocalypse became encased in chaos fire increasing its size considerably.
WHOOSH
The Axe came choppin down and managed to cut deep in one of the eyes that was position on the giants shoulder which tried to close the eyelid for protection but it had no luck. Blood and some sort of ooze splash all around the giant and started squirming.
"DAMN YOU OLD MAN!!! I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF!! THEY TOOK ONE OF MY EYES!!! YOU ANTS WILL PAY"
It was the first time that both heads had been active at the same time but in addition to them, from some of the ooze yet another creature came out with the only purpose of exploding causing damage to everyone around and released a dark and ominous smoke that went through people's nostrils.
The Heads looked in Rahz direction and stood up before placing both hands to the sky and activating TWISTED DEVOTION.
Everyone that had been dealing with the many weird creatures summon from the blood and other parts of the giant started to feel that they no longer had control of their bodies. The ones that had inhaled or were shower by the liquid inside the slimes started to kneel down and put their hands to the sky while dark smoke came out and went towards the eyeless head that opened its mouth and started absorbing it.
"ALL HAIL THE OLD GOD"
"I GIVE MY SOUL TO THE OLD GOD" responded the members infected.
The people affected started convulsing like they were having a seizure and then the demon head said. "WE ACCEPT YOUR GIFT"
It was like a curse, the moment the words came out the contract was completed and the giant started to increase even more in size while his muscles bulged and the aura the giant was giving of was extremely sinister. Degark looked at his opponent that was getting stronger while the people in worship positions were falling to the floor and were losing their levels.
Degark's stoic face look at Rahz and said, "I can't stop him"
Sigh…
Degark could barely hold on against a swing of the hammer with the fire aura and now it was worse. Out of the 2 leaders of the main cities of the alliance, Degark was the weakest and the reason for that was simple, he was not a chosen of the God of Hate and so he was not able to become an avatar.
They thought that with so many people and with the addition of Rahz and Elune, they could take care of the small fry so that Rahz didn't have to reveal much of his battle prowess but they never expected the second boss to have such weird skills.
"Is OK. It won't matter if he sees the unseal state or not"
APOCALYPSE UNSEAL
The first time Rahz unseal Apocalypse he almost died, he was in a desperate situation while facing Omega during the Tempering War and the use of the true form of the weapon nearly killed him.
This time was different, he was many levels beyond his previous self and now he was able to wield the unseal form for a few minutes without having to worry about his body breaking apart.
The inherent skills of the weapon were another thing altogether. The World divider, he used previously was the strongest skill in its arsenal and it was certain to hurt him just as much as before; however, he could now use the others.
APOCALYPSE, THE WORLD DESTROYER (UNSEAL)
World Divider, gathers the energy from all around it including its enemies and unleashes an attack capable of cutting anything in its path.
Blooddrinker, Drinks the blood of its opponent and transfers it to the wielder healing injuries.
Mortal Strike, Every time the weapon inflicts damage on an opponent weaker than its host, it attempts to rip his soul and sent it to the reincarnation cycle.
Wrath of Elysian, uses the realm energy to amplify any ability used in conjunction with the weapon.
Apocalypse was a weapon meant to destroy, the four skills were pretty easy to understand and it only had one active ability World Divider.
Nefarious was yawning in his chair while getting infuse some of the blood from the fourth celestial beast when he felt the movement in the sky outside the building. His dark color skin started to tingle, and he felt a little pain that ran through his body like when you hit your elbow with a wall and it hits a nerve.
Nefarious looked into the rune screen that he was using to observe the fights and saw the bone 2h Axe in Rahz hand started breaking apart and the true form of a scythe appeared with energy running through making Rahz muscles vibrate.
"A Little meaning." Said the Chaos Dragon furrowing his eyebrows for the first time in hundreds of years.
R.I.P
Rahz disappeared into the shadows and when he reappeared he was behind the heads of the Giant who felt invincible now that he had managed to use his most powerful skill, his power was at his peak.
Slash
Apocalypse cut down the middle separating the giant in two while the blood that spread out was rapidly absorbed and then sent to Rahz.
Degark looked with eyes wide open as the giant that was sure to kill them all was killed just like that, with a slash.
The fire head lost the light in his eyes and died on the spot but the other was still alive, "IM..IMPOSSIBLE…"
"You are mine.. Hi hi hi" The cute voice of little girl was heard and the giant's body was then absorbed into the gourd like it didn't have any bones at all.
"Take a sip every time you need to heal or need more energy," said the spirit to Rahz.
Rahz was pleasantly surprised and now he regretted not sending more enemies over. "Let's go to see how Pendragon is doing. They might be having a hard time and despite them following that asshole ODOS, I have the feeling we are going to need them."
In the room opposite to the giant's, a very challenging battle was on full display. The guardian of the room was nothing like the giant they had just faced, instead of having a physical body, it was made out of liquid. The Liquid was dark red and it glow with a holy light from time to time.
Rahz and the others stopped at the door and took a look inside. There was a maelstrom of blood in the middle of the room that was throwing blood ripples towards all the members of the Silverwing group and the people that were hit by them were cut and from the pool of blood an abomination will come forward.
The paladins were having a hard time in this fight, everytime they threw a holy ability such as smite, the Blood Abominations consume it and grew stronger.
"Need any help?" said Degark
The priest saw hope for the first time since they started the fight and their fighting spirit rekindled.
"They are immune to our holy powers so that means that it should be weak against your unholy aura, so do your thing" Said one of the elders.
Elune snorted and step forward " I'll help them Rahz, save your energy for Nefarious"
