Chereads / I'll become a villain in my next life / Chapter 179 - Chapter 179: Sacrifice

Chapter 179 - Chapter 179: Sacrifice

[Grand kingdom]

Two huge surging power was going against each other, one was from a Celestial while the other was from a Archdemon

As both of them contended against each other for supremacy of strength, Raguel suddenly opened up his white angelic wings far and wide, while the other opened up his Demonic black wings

As the angelic wings suddenly lounge themselves forward, the Demonic wings moved against it at the same time as both entity started negating each other

As the struggle ended and Raguel has successfully retrieved the sword, Belial suddenly spoke up first to break the silence and appeared as calm as ever

"I didn't expect that some ancient Celestial race has decided to takeover it's vessel that fast, I was expecting that you would show up for not maybe far into the future" said Belial

"I'm impressed! A mere Archdemon actually speculated my plans... . .originally that was supposed to happen, because of a certain someone all of my plans have to proceed much more earlier than intended too... . ." Replied Raguel

"Much obliged" said Belial as he taken proudly at Raguel's words

After that Raguel suddenly wondered

"If you speculated that much then I suppose you've noticed me much earlier?" He asked

"Of course... . . At first I was curious on the foreign energy surroundings that vessel of yours, when I did my own research including the intelligence that was given by my spies, and especially looking at the current you, everything that I have speculated from the past few weeks have come to fruition and you were the result" said Belial calmly as he revealed a smile

Upon hearing spies Raguel suddenly blurted out

"Spies?... . . Did you have your kind possess other humans? No! Maybe mutate your kind to look like humans perhaps?"

"Who knows! Demon's have a lot of ways up their sleeves on how to get their men inside enemy's forces" replied Belial

As if answering him a sword suddenly swept down against him as he successfully blocked it with his claws

After that on that stalemate Belial kindly said to him

"As much as I like being here, i myself can't waste the time on engaging a fight against you... . . So I will have to excuse ourselves"

"Hah! You think you can escape that easily after appearing right infront of me like a big shot?" He asked

"I'm afraid you misunderstood something, I wasn't asking so technically I don't need your answer" answered Belial

At that Raguel suddenly conjured ten swords behind him, while Belial suddenly conjured six glowing dark sphere's behind him

"Sword of light!"

"Dark anima!"

After that casting multiple explosions rung out I'm between them as two spells collided against each other

As Raguel took a distance he again controlled his sword of light to charged directly at Belial, while the other simply dodged his attacks or destroys them if he wanted

With a flap Raguel fastly descents from above as he attacked Belial from three different directions in one breath

Unfortunately the Archdemon was also strong and experience enough to counter, as he blocked all of his attack with both of his hands, while also providing a counter as he arched his back and thrusted his Demonic claws straight towards Raguel's head

Quickly upon seeing this Raguel tilted his head to the side to dodge the Archdemon's attack while countering his own by drawing his sword from below

As he was planning that, his attack suddenly came to a halt as Belial forcefully stopped the trajectory of his hand, this breaking the momentum

As the expression of shock appeared of the celestial's face, the look of amusement could be seen on the Archdemon's face as if he completely saw what he did back their

Rightfully positioning his feet Raguel forcefully pushed away Belial away from h as he casted another spell

"Light beam!"

From the air that condensed on the celestial's shoulder, several beams of light suddenly shot themselves straight at the Archdemon as  the other party decided to deflect them

But just as he was about to make contact, the beams of light suddenly turned sideways as it splits itself from eight different directions completely surrounding him

Left with no choice Belial tightly closed his wings as he blocks off his attack, but just as he was about to open his wings, Raguel suddenly swoops in from below and slashed upwards

But as the attack suddenly connected, black flames suddenly sprung up in between them and completely raged on against the celestial

Just as Raguel was surprised from the emergence of the black flames, he immediately shot off the ground as he felt some kind of dangerous aura from the flames itself

"Fly too close and you'll get your wings burned" chirped Belial from behind the flames

"Black flames? Looks like the world has really changed from the time I still have my body"

Just as Raguel said those words Belial suddenly chuckled as he said

"The Celestial race aren't the only ones that is capable evolution, what you can do, we can do too... . .and that what makes time a scary entity, cause times changes and no power in the world can stop that"

"That is true, time was always the enemy of species that has aspirations no matter the race" agreed Raguel

After that his voice suddenly turned grim as he said

"But as I said you can't leave that easily" he grumbled just as he entered a super Sonic dive with a flap of his wings

"And as I've said I wasn't asking" said Belial as he snapped his fingers to completely engulfed both him and Hepta at an astonishing speed

Just as Belial suddenly struck down the ground so hard that it shook so violently just by a mere fact of force, the Black flames however has completely engulfed both vassals as they completely disappeared from the battlefield and following that is the disappearance of the Demon army

Looking at the once location of the Archdemon, Raguel couldn't help but sigh dejectedly as he felt that their engage was kinda unsatisfactory for him

After all he was expecting to enter a life and death battle against the Archdemon, but the latter has plans otherwise as it actually left the scene while dragging alone the Ghoul Queen

"Well that's it for that fateful encounter... . .now what to do about you guys" he said as he turned his gaze towards the Beastman hero and Kaido who was near recovery

Just as he said this, he quickly redirected all of his pressure towards the two parties that were on the ground as he slowly walked towards them

Seeing this Alduin immediately gritted his teeth as he refused to be looked down by another hero who were much younger looking at him

"Oi! You shouldn't underestimate your senior so much, I agree that you may possess immense strength but that is all, you can't always outsmart a person who utilize everything just to win" stressed Alduin as he stood up form the ground and tried to size up Raguel who was inside Hibiki's body

"Utilize? Strategy? Tactics? Tricks? All of them are meaningless infront of pure power" he retorted

Hearing that Alduin couldn't help but feel insulted because of that

"What? What did you say brat?"

"I'm saying I can overpower you without any need for mortal tricks whatsoever" stated Raguel as he looked down upon Alduin as if he was nothing

Finally snapping from his patience Alduin bursted out his magic power like a torrent of waves as he smiled like a crazed warrior at Raguel

"Great! You think you can get away just like that? You think your so tough? The world is bigger than you know it kid! Too big that not even your mind can handle"

Just as Alduin said that he quickly conjured a complicated machinery above him as he gathered a huge Mana from it's muzzle and prepared to fire it off towards Raguel

Faced off with such complicated structure the Celestial simply shrugged it off as his wings suddenly flaps it's feathers off while at the same time turning the plucked off feather into streams of light that attacked the Beastman hero non-stop for a few 10 seconds

"Gah!"

As the barrage finished the machinery however crumpled into nothingness as it's conjurer was brought down by one mere attack from a being much stronger than him

"Know your place mortal" bellowed Raguel

Following that he turned his attention towards Kaido and sent numerous air waves towards him

As if realizing that the airwaves were fatal, Kaido quickly pushed Ingrid away from the front and held out his hands as he formed layer after layer of psychic barrier

But as time goes by Kaido himself was struggling just to keep the barrier up and going, for each attack of the airwaves was equivalent on having a high-speed bullet train suddenly slamming against you at his top speed

With that it didn't take long until it forces him to held on his barrier around his body to act as a body shield from the companions he had behind him

Seeing this however made everyone grow worried for him especially his so called daughter that had struggled to pull him out of harm's way

"Hmm! Looks like you got some people you cared about, are you trying to be a hero or something?" Asked Raguel

As he asked this Kaido finally kneeled unto the ground bloodied all over his body as he weakly smiled at him without forgetting his signature mocking stare

"First off their beneficial for me later on, second I considered them as my subordinates, third your a big group of the good side, of course a big gun should always be faced by another big gun, fourth you considered yourself a hero in the right, while you considered me as a villain who is irritating like a bug, it's just a matter on which story your perspective are reading... . . If you look at yours as your the main character of your own story, then it's understandable that people will see you as a good guy rather than the bad guy since your the main character and same goes for me too bob, and lastly fifth I'm no hero, I'm a smartass punk villain and that's a fact" stated Kaido putting stress on his every word

After hearing this Raguel sigh dejectedly

"But if what you said is true, then in the end the villain always looses"

"The future isn't set" rebuked Kaido as he glared at him with his red eyes

Just as Raguel raises his sword upwards and slashed it down at a force that sent another fatal airwaves, a silhoutte suddenly got in between Kaido and the airwaves, as it spreads out her arms and casted a barrier

Unfortunately the barrier wasn't strong enough to completely block off an attack from someone above the charts, In turn the barrier was easily broken through as it struck Selery right across her chest causing her to fall down as blood flowed out from her huge cut

Seeing this Kaido was completely stunned as the body slumped to the ground beside him, this in turn followed by a loud shriek of a young girl as she hurriedly ran towards the body and tightly clenched her hand at the clothes of woman

From afar even Alduin was shocked from that sudden sacrifice, he couldn't help but feel mortified within as if his pride was suddenly shattered by something intangible

"Mama!!!" Shrieked Sui as she ran up and took a hold of her mother

"Mama!!! Mama!!! Mama!!!" She cried

At the same time the others has completely snapped out of their daze as they hurriedly approached Sui's mother and tried to heal her

"Stay in there! Don't let her die! What's her status?" Asked Ingrid

"It's too deep! The cut is too deep! Her nerves are all cut off from their original positions, plus the holy and complicated Mana is making even the healing spell hard to completely heal her, as if it's contradicting each other" said Anna as she casted different healing magic time and time again

Upon hearing that Melfina clenched her fist as she said

"It's the same from Kaido-sama's wounds, something is obstructing it's healing process"

Hearing that Ingrid finally notices that the wounds on Kaido's body wasn't healing at all as per normal occurrence, as if something was obstructing his regenerative ability

Gritting her teeth and clenching her fist so hard that caused a ripple of blood to come out she asked Anna once again

"Tell me! Can she be saved?"

As if hesitating, Anna firmly held unto Selery's body as her expression turned sour

"I... . .I can't"

"What?!?!" Shouted Ingrid

"I said I can't!!! I... . . I don't have the capability to save her" she shouted back at her

Hearing that Ingrid finally went silent as for the first time in her life a problem that she can't solve was placed infront of her

This news however made Sui feel even more depressed as she hugged her mother tightly and crying non-stop without any intention of letting go

This operation was supposed to save her mother, yet inspite of that she will die in the end while she couldn't do anything cause of her powerlessness

"Mama! Don't die! Don't die! Sui finally completed her family after a long time, you, me, and Papa, were finally complete, please don't leave Sui behind" she pleaded

Seeing her daughter cry over her Selery weakly smiled as she said

"Don't cry! My sweet daughter, you'll always be my most precious treasure, you'll get to live your life to the fullest and I'm sure of it... . .it's just that I won't be able to see it with my own eyes, but... . .I'll stay beside you forever"

Afterwards she glanced back at Kaido as she said

"I've protected you just like what my daughter wishes... . .and just like what I've always wanted to do all this time the moment my husband disappeared, I regretted that I wasn't there to protect him... . . But now I've redeemed myself for protecting someone who looked like him... . .and surely protect my daughter"

Hearing that Kaido slowly gazed at the dying Selery

"I can finally see him again... . .after so long" she said as a teardrop falls from her eyes and seemed to remember her deceased husband

"I've got only one request... . .please take care of my precious daughter... . ."

And with that she breaths her last as Kaido have confirmed her state when he heard the last beat of her heart before turning silent

Just as she died Sui cried so hard as she couldn't accept the situation, and seeing his so called daughter crying and mourning over the death of her own mother, he in turn glared at the person who was responsible for her death

By forcefully standing up, he begun to laugh hysterically, as he crackled non-stop and his eyes constantly contracting based on his mixed emotions on the current matter

Soon he laughed so hard as he held his head up and stared at the sky

As if responding his call, the whole world once again turned dimmed but this time instead of rain, a cold chilling wind suddenly swept by while the ground stayed hot for no apparent reason

At this moment it is as if the whole world turned crazy the same time Kaido finally broke apart

Glancing at the now dead Selery and Sui who was constantly crying by her side, he in turn started to see flashbacks of his past life

All the deaths he saw, blood he touched, life he stole, all of it was returning to him as if a surging waves suddenly overwhelmed him

For some reason his eyes were like glowing red caused of the darkness suddenly enveloping him

The despair he felt, the depressing atmosphere he experienced, the dreadful tried he tried to pass, and the guilt from the blood he shed by his own two hands

Everything was coming all together until suddenly a word struck him

(What am i?)

(I'm a weapon meant for war! A living killing machine! A living bomb that might explode any moment)

As if reading through a file he started cracking up as he glared at Raguel with menacing stare and a composure As if he has gotten tired of the world

"Haha... . . Ehehehe... . . Ehehehehahaha!!! That's right! that's right! I see! I see! I was meant to trudge this all alone... . .thank you for showing me this" said Kaido as he gave a smile akin to a person that has finally broke

At first Raguel was startled from the sudden change of attitude, but he was more concerned why the world seemed to reciprocate his feelings, at the same time even Alduin was bewildered from the current phenomenon

"What are you?" Asked Raguel

But instead of answering, Kaido instead turned mute

From behind him Ingrid and the other apparently saw this change and decided to snap him back to his old self before he looses himself

But just as they were about to do that, something strange was suddenly happening on the Currently crying Sui, which even surprised everyone in the vicinity except for kaido who stayed indifferent

As she cried, a huge amount of Mana was suddenly gathering inside her body, as if they were being manipulated by something

Of course when she cried her heart out the most, the once violent Mana suddenly raged out in control

At that when Sui reached the peek of despair the gathered Mana on her body suddenly exploded into a massive scale that completely covered the whole continent

When the torrent of Mana dispersed only Alduin and his original citizens of the Grand kingdom was left on their original position while the others has completely disappeared as if something deliberately brought them away

This event from that moment onwards was hailed as the day when a whole continent was swallowed by a huge torrent of Mana that causes the disappearance of numerous people

And this that day was recorded in the history as the one of the darkest days of the world
