Chapter 271 The Birth Of A Monster (2)
A few seconds before Basil used [Synchronization].
As Basil stood in front of the iron case Cabalen was hiding in, Cabalen immediately knew that his doom was near. Even though Basil wasn't particularly exuding his crushing Mana pressure, Cabalen was still suffocating.
"This thick killing intent..."
Cabalen gritted his teeth as he felt the overwhelming killing intent Basil was exuding. He wondered just how a young human could have such an overwhelming killing intent, and what could possibly anger Basil this much.
He understood that he had toyed Basil for quite some time, but he was sure it shouldn't have provoked his anger this much.
'It was his choice to play weak anyway—he had no right to be this mad!'
While he was right Basil was mad, he got it wrong about what had caused Basil to be mad. Basil wasn't mad because he had toyed him; Basil was mad because he had dare to target his life.
It might seem weird that Basil was mad because of that, but he was that type of a guy. He would never get mad even if he was beaten by his opponent, but once he was about to kill his opponent, he would do it filled with rage.
He held no mercy towards those who targeted his life, but he wasn't childish enough to be mad over a punch his enemy had landed on his face.
Fighting is a competition. Getting hit is the norm; it shouldn't be something to be mad about. Although Basil still got mad at his opponent in the end, it was still because of his opponent's audacity to target him—not the their hits.
As Basil infused Asia's Evolving soul into Caliburn, Cabalen immediately understood Basil was just seconds away from killing him. He tried to move, but his body didn't listen to him as it was still paralysed due to the electricity covering the iron case.
When Basil swung his sword down and [Synchronization] was released, Cabalen's indignation towards his situation was amplified. He couldn't believe he would be killed by a mere human.
BOOM!
As the world lost its colour, and the people gradually lost their hearing, Caliburn carved a trench on the ground that was so deep it seemed like Basil had just cut the world in half.
Cabalen had completely lost his control over his body at this point, but his stubbornness allowed him to keep his consciousness.
The iron case covering him was completely obliterated, but, in a humiliating position as he was, he still looked at Basil whose figure was covered entirely in golden light.
He instantly recalled someone's face upon seeing the scene, and dread immediately colored his face. There had ever been someone, 2000 years ago, that had always been covered in golden light, and it was the person who every Demon hated to their core.
Realization immediately dawned upon Cabalen the moment he recalled Basil's last name, and suddenly everything made sense to him—Basil's absurd power and how he could obtain the real Caliburn that was said to be unattainable.
He felt an extreme urgency to tell this to his fellow Demons, alas his life was coming to an end. Slow as it might through his perspective, his body disintegrated in a matter of seconds.
"That accursed man! Just how powerful you are to allow a Fifth Circle Mage to destroy a Dragotaur's body?!" Was what Cabalen mouthed right before his body was completely disintegrated.
That way, the life of Cabalen was ended ... Carrying the information of Basil's true identity away with him.
As the white color covering the world slowly dispersed, everyone regained their ability to hear once again. It wasn't for long however; the moment they heard the huge explosion sound, their eardrums immediately ruptured.
They lost their hearing once again, but they could now clearly see Basil's figure that was covered in the golden light from Caliburn. His upper clothes were completely blown away, leaving him bare chested.
With his sturdy, muscular, and flawless body exposed to the world, he stood like a deity overlooking the world he had conquered. The way he stood with his hands on the hilt of Caliburn that was stabbed in the ground especially captivated the people.
It felt like they were looking at the King they should have been serving.
They didn't know when the sound of explosion stopped—they couldn't hear anything—but when the color of the world had completely returned, their attention moved to the damage Basil's Technique had caused.
They could see the trench that was so deep and long, it looked like it was separating the world in half. It was 4 meters wide, so it could swallow anyone who was stupid enough to "step" on it.
"Kuhak! My viscera..."
As the people's attention was planted on the damage Basil had caused and the destructive Energy lingering in the air, none of them noticed Basil keeled over as he threw up a mouthful of blood.
He luckily got Caliburn to support himself, but unfortunately it didn't help his condition much. He might look fine from the outside, but everything that was inside his body was completely ruined due to the aftereffect of [Synchronization].
His veins were temporarily enlarged due to the great amount of blood containing Mana and Qi that had passed through it, meanwhile his Mana Heart was close to exploding as he had forced it to produce more Mana than it should.
Basil was used to pain—he didn't think it hurt him much, however his body was honest. Maintaining his consciousness was currently very hard for him due to his miserable state.
"Hmmm... How long has it been since I suffered from injuries of this magnitude?" Basil chuckled lowly as he mused to himself. "A year maybe? Although it is not as bad as the day I died, both result in my immobilization."
A smirk adorned his face as he gripped Caliburn tighter. He infused the remaining Qi he had in his Core into Caliburn, swiftly turned his body around, and swung Caliburn at Lucilla who was swinging her short sword at him.
Clank!
Boom!
As the swords clashed against each other, the ground below the two people developed a crater. The crater, however, was overshadowed by the other craters on the ground and the deep, long trench beside it.
"Human! How dare you kill Cabalen?!" Lucilla looked fiercely at Basil.
"Was he your boyfriend?" Basil quirked his eyebrow and sneered. "I am sorry, but I don't care."
"This insufferable bastard!" Lucilla gritted his teeth. "You will pay for your—"
"I am not your only enemy here, Lucilla."
Lucilla was cut by Basil in the middle of her sentence, and she immediately widened her eyes as she got what Basil was referring to. Six powerful auras were coming at her, which belonged to none other than the Legion Commanders.
Clicking her tongue in dissatisfaction and rage, she immediately took a distance away from Basil. She flew to the sky, and once she was at a certain height, she ordered her army to retreat.
"Hear me, my soldiers! Retreat!"
Roar!
None of the Demons questioned Lucilla's decision to retreat. Even though most of them that were far away from Cabalen and Basil couldn't properly see the fight between the two, they could still notice that Cabalen had died.
The disappearance of such an overwhelming presence was too hard to ignore, so, of course, every one of them knew it was time for them to regroup and altered their plan. The death of a Great General wasn't something they could ignore after all.
"Young man, are you okay?!"
"Holy cow! You look younger closer!"
As the six Legion Commanders arrived at Basil's side they either immediately fawned over him or poking his body. They meant good, but due to their ruptured eardrums, all of them were shouting each of their word, which annoyed Basil to no end.
"I didn't know Randalvine Magic Institute was hiding such a monster... Thank you for being a good monster."
"Don't swarm over him! He needs space to breathe!"
They merely wanted to make sure if Basil really was human since they couldn't believe his prowess, while also thanking him for his endeavor.
Basil immediately distanced himself from the group of Legion Commanders the moment he regained his control over his body, then looked at them disdainfully as if he was looking at a group of child molesters.
"Don't touch me."
"Uwah... This young man is just like our Cassandra," the green haired Legion Commander, Glen commented with a chuckle.
"It is normal to say that to the people who have touched you without your consent." Cassandra, the blond haired Legion Commander, frowned delicately. "Still, are you alright, young man?"
Receiving Cassandra's gaze, Basil replied, "Do you think I look fine?"
"No, you don't look fine." Cassandra shook her head faintly. "The flow of your Qi is in disarray, and I can tell that it is also the case for your Mana."
"Smart." Basil scoffed.
The six Legion Commanders blinked their eyes in surprise at Basil's response and chuckled awkwardly. Uncaring to their reaction, Basil infused his Mana to his Spatial Ring where he had stored Morning Dew.
He wanted to take a Pill, so he could accelerate his regeneration. Alas, the moment he drew his Mana, his Mana Heart immediately throbbed painfully.
"Keugh..."
"Young man!"
Basil immediately keeled over at the excruciating pain he felt in his chest. Cassandra immediately rushed to catch his falling body, but someone's shout stopped her completely in her step.
"Stay away from him!"
Iliana had arrived right at Basil's side, just before he fell to the ground. She gritted her teeth upon seeing Basil's condition as she knew how bad his condition internally was.
"Tsk. I've told you not to die!"
"Alright, don't scream at me. You'll kill me that way."
"This bastard..."
Iliana was simply speechless upon seeing the cheeky smile on Basil's face. She was a tough person, but she couldn't even guarantee if she could smile like that if she were in Basil's position.
"Infuse your Mana to my Spatial Ring and—"
[Darling, wait!]
'... Asia? Have you finished Evolving?'
[Awwhh... My husband has finally called me by my real name.] Asia sobbed. [I am touched ... Oh, yeah, I have fully Evolved too! I have become stronger and more pristine!]
'...'
[Anyway, use "Synchronization" on Caliburn, quick!]
'I can't. I don't have enough Mana to carry your soul out.'
[Caliburn has its own soul. Use "Synchronization" to connect with it!]
Basil's eyes widened in realization the moment he heard Asia's suggestion. Ignoring the peculiar gaze the people around him were giving, he immediately used [Synchronization] on Caliburn.
The moment he did so, he was greeted by surprise.
