Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 ...Mayhem 2.....

Ethereally dark shadows from all over the stadium moved towards a particular direction of the stadium.....

Fwoooshhhh

The shadows moved like ropes , with swift speed, towards one location....

The shadows twisted and turned, and rolled together, weaving a tapestry of destruction....

A ridiculously ginormous beast that was larger than all demonic beasts that had appeaerd in the sky combined..appeared ... Yes... You read that right...

However, the shadowy creature stood stiff, lifeless..as though it were a statue ...

" Shadow Legion"... Erindor muttered, projecting a portion of his will into the towering shadowy figure...

The lifeless shadowy creature finally assumed signs of life, then flapped it's ginormous wings...

Yes... You read that right.... The creature was a towering dragon boasting four thick legs and 4 wide wings.... It was so large that it's sudden appearance squashed a ridiculous amount of humans in the stadium to death ...

The shadowy creature let out a deafening roar, a projection of the vengeful emotions that were boiling deeply in Erindor's being... There was only one thought on his mind... Revenge... This was the beginning of his revenge against those demonic beasts that murdered his parents...

Under the dumbfounded gazes of both demonic beasts and humans, bolts of lightning flickered beneath Erindor's feet, propelling him towards the back of the the gigantic shadowy dragon...

Eridnor stood atop the head of the gigantic shadowy dragon, his gaze calm and cold...

"Keep that bastard who betrayed humanity alive... I have some questions to ask him later.. " Erindor's voice was cold and calm, a shadow Naginata spear forming before him in the blink of an eye and appearing in his hand...

Before the S rankers registered his words,the towering shadowy dragon flapped it's ginormous wings, causing swirls of winds to blow in the stadium, blowing a number of people apart ,like a hurricane swallowing people up...

" Shit... Just where did this monster in human form appear from... He's the real deal, this Erindor Thorne... If I don't get everyone out of here, we are all gonna die .. " Flash bellowed, then quickly used his speed affinity to start rescuing as many people as he could from the stadium towards a distant location in the city ..

Aria Hall, the Black Reaper formed a number of shadow hands that picked people and threw them towards certain locations in the city outside the burning sands region she had used shadow manipulation to form shadow cusions at...

" Just what kind of a monster is this kid... Just how powerful is his shadow affinity ... And why do I feel inferior before him .. has he advanced above S rank?... But that is impossible... S rank is the limit... What am I thinking about?... ....I should be praying that is the case so that he pulls this off successfully...,else humanity will really perish "...

As for Haruka, she was healing the injured who had been rescued from the arena by both Flash and Aria somewhere in the city...

As for Erindor he soared towards the sky, standing at the back of the towering shadowy dragon, appearing in a blink of an eye before Astarion who had snapped out of his stupor...

" Fuck!!.... He's stronger than us .... Retreat "... Astarion spake to its ginormous subordinates who awaited its command to attack... it's demonic beasts instincts had kicked in .. Not even the strongest demonic beast, could make it feel this terrified...

However, before it could move, Erindor muttered " You think you can run from me?... Let's give you a five seconds headstart ...1...2....3...4....5... Phoenix's devastation..."..

Fwoosh....

A small flame appeared at the tip of the shadow Naginata spear Erindor had held towards the fleeing Astarion , the flame started to expand into the shape of an extremely large phoenix.....

The environs had turned into searing red....

The heat made the demonic beasts feel like they had been dipped into the sun ...

The bleachers of the stadium had begun to melt...

The streaming screens across the world went blank due to the heat associated with Erindor's powerful skill and power ...The nano cameras had melted under the effect of Erindor's SSS rank power...

The flame in the shape of the phoenix shot towards Astarion and corhort who had appeared a few distances away ...

1 second.... That was all it took for the flamy phoenix to reach Astarion and lackeys...

A massive conflagration of red searing flames covered the environs, drowning Astarion and lackeys in its envelope.... Shreaks of agony and curses bellowed out for a mere three seconds ,before the shreaks died down....

These S rank demonic beasts that caused panic and terror amongst humans a few seconds ago, had died...just like that ...

The conflagration of flames continued to spread, devouring buildings, trees and anything in their wake for a while, before after ten minutes, they died down ..

The sight that presented itself would make one cringe shock ..

Devastation... ... It seemed the skill was named Phoenix's devastation for a reason...

An apocalyptic environ devoid of life has assumed the surroundings .....

Scorched earth, deep craters widespread for kilometres... Areas that were full of trees,now gone...buildings...now gone.... The whole Burning Sands area had turned into an apocalyptic environment...

****

During the time Erindor used the Phoenix's devastation skill, when the cameras broadcasting Erindor's attack on the demonic beasts went off..

At the Intelligence Headquarters of the world government ..

" What is the situation".... A man in a military uniform seated before a large numbers of blank holographic screens asked...

" We have to pull the feed from the sateliites on the moon .... It seems the collateral damage from whatever happned blew apart the nano cameras that were live streaming the events ..." A woman with a nerdy spectacle answered ...

" Pull them up... The whole world must see the outcome of this clash..."... The man responded....

As soon as the man spoke, the woman and her team got to work, causing Erindor to appear on the screens of the world for everyone to see what hapened at , and after the time the broadcasting screens went off ...

The world was shocked...

The beasts.... were running away .... . The 10 Srank beasts were running away from a single human... A teenager.... Sitting on some gigantic ethereally shadowy Dragon ....

And what was with that attack....what was with those flames?.... In the span of a few seconds... Those beasts had died?... Just like that?...were S ranked demonic beasts this weak????.

And look at the whole Burning Sands area...

Complete devastation... No life... No buildings... No trees...everything had been destroyed ....

This were the thoughts on many people's minds.....

However the next thoughts that registered in their minds was that this guy deserved the name Viper...

He was too domineering...extremely decisive... His cold demeanor...non hesitation to attack and finish of his preys... The way he kept his calm and cool... The overbearing methods he used....

He was a Viper...He was monstrous....

The whole world was watching...A single human, had defeated ten extremely strong S ranked demonic beasts in the span of a few seconds...without even exchanging blows with them.... His mere appearance had scared those beasts so shitless that they had decided to run away .... Only for him to use a single skill to destroy them in a few seconds...

Wasn't this... Tooo overpowered....?

******

" What a monster ..." Flash sighed, eyes glued to the large screen infront of a skyscaper in the city where large numbers had gathered to spectate what had turned out to be the trashing of Ten S ranked demonic beasts...

Aria and Haruka, all had the same thoughts,nodding their heads..

" I knew that kid was a genius...but to think in not more than 2 months he would suddenly stand at the peak of humanity... was something I never expected...." Aria Hall voiced, causing Haruka to voice " I suppose Japan may yet stand a chance at not getting destroyed... With him in the picture..."

" May yet stand a chance at not getting destroyed?... You underestimate that kid... Be more optimistic Haruka .." Aria responded then mused inwardly ..

" Now that I think of it ..the skill he used...seems like ... So he found the solution to master Shadow Legion... That kid is full of surprises... I suppose it's time for us the old people to step aside so that the youngsters take over....."...

Beep beep... "just received an intelligence report... A large number of A ranked demonic beasts are heading into the city ..."... Flash spoke...

" Let's head there ".. Aria responded...

*****

Erindor's gaze remained calm... His anger still boiled.. Unlike the other humans who were relieved that they had been saved from the attacks of the demonic beasts, he was not in a festive mood...

Standing atop the shadow dragon, he soared through the skies , heading towards the outskirts of the city... Erindor's perception had sensed the growls of various beasts ...

"More of them are heading towards the city....About 20 thousand demonic beasts..... I suppose they are making things easier for me .. Based on the aura they emit that my perception is catching, There are many A ranked demonic beasts amongst them, comm ding the horde.. My existence will be their worst nightmare..."...
