Chereads / Isekai: The Eight Soul Fragments / Chapter 145 - The Arrival of the Destroyer

Chapter 145 - The Arrival of the Destroyer

"So I guess I was given a bad hand." Keith frowned as he felt the pressure quickly enter his mind. "[Soul of Wrath]! [Engulf yourself in Fury]!" An appearance that is truly fitting to be called a true devil. With large red horns protruding out from the red head, a skin that's worthy to be called a demon, and a large tail that he felt like he have seen before. Keith faced the enemy who they would call as [Wrath].

Right at the start of their encounter, Keith's mentality quickly flashed into a different view. He saw visions of every friend he had getting killed right in front of his eyes. With disbelief, he tried to stay strong, but with the mere thought of them being unable to win against their enemy, Keith became blinded with wrath.

He furiously spun the chain to eliminate monsters all around him as he cancelled his [Chronoreversal]. He took small opportunities to strike Wrath with the ball but it was either blocked by some monster that jumped over him, or avoided by moving to the side while still instigating more wrath into Keith's mind.

At that point, it was already crossing dangerous borders as Wrath quickly closed his position to strike Keith right into the chest while he was clearing off monsters in a frenzy. A close call came as Keith took notice and stopped time right before Wrath pierced through his chest and made a reckless counterattack instead of avoiding. The reckless move somewhat paid off as it only ended with a small graze towards Keith's chest when he kicked Wrath away. Keith tried to attack him once again, but he felt like something interrupted as he was forcefully waken from a wrathful nightmare. He stopped for a short moment as he noticed Juniper striking down Wrath with lightning strikes while Pauleen got behind him and sealed his capabilities of using his [Soul of Wrath]. "Ah, thanks you two." Keith felt greatly relieved as he remembered entering a nightmare with his friends dead and him fighting alone. "It's not over yet, we still gotta clean up the rest of this lot." Pauleen looked around before looking down and noticing that Wrath is not there. The five of them, including Gayle and Josh who went forward to keep an eye on Keith who lost control for a moment finally spoke. "This is truly quite a welcome towards a demon lord such as me. Then, I'll take on five of you." Wrath was flying with his devilish wings in the sky as he prepared to activate magic of calamity scale.

"Tch." Keith clicked his tongue as he stopped time to analyze the ball of fire to find its core. But just as he realized, Josh was channeling some sort of magic which allowed him for a bit of leniency. Thus, instead of trying to cancel the magic, Keith made ideas to make a counterattack instead. "[Early Ender]!" The giant ball of fire that was materialized quickly dispersed into nothing. But before Wrath could react to the sudden disappearance of his magic, Keith's sickle was already right by his side. As a result, a liver was quickly gouged out from his body. Keith noticing Wrath's frustration changed the other end of the chain from a ball to a grappling hook before throwing it towards Wrath. "How the tables have turned when you yourself got blinded in [Wrath]." Keith, managing to pierce Wrath's chest with the hook, quickly pulled him into his position as he pulled back the sickle as well. Juniper taking notice of Keith's intention quickly sent feathers to numb the legs and force Wrath to kneel upon landing. Keith quickly grabbed Wrath's neck and brought out a new weapon Draxus had developed for him. It looked similar to a certain revolver coming from a shooter game that he was familiar with. Josh took notice and quickly made a retort. "Isn't that [Headhunter]?!?!" Keith simply smiled as he pointed the gun towards Wrath's head. "It's high-noon." A bullet hole pierced through Wrath's head, but instead of being identified as dead, he simply smiled as he started to disappear. "This isn't the end..." A malicious grin was formed as Wrath dispersed from the battlefield. Witnessing that, the devils tried to make a tactical retreat. Keith attempted to stop time to prevent any escapees, but before he could even make a move, each ship crumbled down to pieces in an instant. All of the monsters were instantly frozen along with the sea right in front of them. Frozen meteors then started to rain down as each exploded with great shockwaves as each landed on the ground. Everyone but Keith weren't able to hold their ground as they were knocked away by the constant shockwaves, but upon witnessing a person land in front of him, Keith immediately knew what had happened.

With a hair color that resembles the night sky, eye pupils shaped with a star, and an aura oozing of nothing but pure destruction, Keith could simply utter a single name as he looked at the card glowing in his breast pocket with its numbers XVIII inverted. "Drax..." In that very moment, he knew that the best solution in the battle is to contact Serkyrio and wait, but two people came down from the sky attempting to attack him. Both faces were completely unfamiliar, but Keith heard a voice of telepathy. "I can't control myself Keith! Mnemosyne forced a soul to be awakened and they're still attacking me. Stop me once they escape!" After realizing what had exactly happened Keith issued an immediate retreat to all members within the group.

Gayle noticed the appearance as she was quickly familiar with certain things. The sword that looks similar to a cybernetic combination of blue and gold made he feel like something's up. "So it is real... His memories...!" She was already back in the safety area where Gwen ended up hearing her. "Hey... What do you mean that its real...? And how do you know that it's Draxus...?" Gwen walked closer to Gayle's position, probing for answers.
