Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong-Chapter 304: The Battle For Salvation! Part-3.
"I don’t have the time to argue with you; give the other piece of the artifact to me, and we will have a better chance at preserving the future of this planet!"
Jareth ignored Zion’s shocked and confused looks and pressed him further; he didn’t want to waste any more time. The more time he wasted, the narrower the chances of escape would become.
Just when Zion was about to answer, a loud, eerie noise rang out over the entire planet.
*CRACK!!* *SHATTER!!!*
The cracks in the sky enlarged, and a massive hole appeared in the sky as the powerful demon god attacked the barrier continuously from the outside.
A gigantic hole appeared in the barrier, and a massive eye the size of the entire planet appeared behind the broken hole in the barrier.
The eye was dark red in color, and it had black pupils; everywhere the gigantic eye looked, miasmic corruption spread at a speed visible to the eye.
*SHHHHHHMMMMMM!!!!*
The moment the gigantic eye cast its gaze on the capital city, mana became suppressed and the presence of miasma in the air increased at an accelerated pace.
All monsters and demons got buffed with the increasing density of miasma, and all mages and knights became increasingly weaker with the thinning presence of mana in the air.
Miasmic corruption spread everywhere like a contagious virus, and even buildings started to melt away from the miasmic filth that started raining down from the sky as the massive hole opened in the barrier.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! MY GOD!!! MY GOD IS LOOKING AT MEE!!! I CAN FEEEL MY POWER INCREASING!!!AHAHAHAHAH!!!!"
Rahnan’s body could not stop the miasmic corruption inside him anymore, and he started to mutate as well.
Several weird and creepy-looking eyes appeared all over his body, and he started bleeding all over.
"He’s losing his light affinity... As I thought, miasma is starting to take over him..."
Rahnan had long been corrupted thoroughly by miasma; the only reason he was still able to keep himself perfectly sane till now was because miasma was using him as a pawn and keeping him that way.
Now that his value as a ’pawn’ has become ’nil,’ he can be easily discarded at a whim.
The moment the massive eye looked at him, his body mutated, and he nearly lost most of his sanity on the spot.
Only the deep craving for violence and the deep-seated hatred for humanity remained in him.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I WILL KILL YOU ALLL!!!! AHHAAHAHA!!! I WILL BE THE KING OF THIS WORLD!!!!"
With his entire body and soul corrupted with miasma, Rahnan finally attained his greatest wish; he finally became ’immortal’ and immensely powerful. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
His soul became a slave to miasma, so he won’t die even if destroyed and will be born over and over with a mutated body; thus, in a sense, he became immortal and invincible.
Now he didn’t even need to cast magic.
Rahnan raised his hand, and all the miasmic liquid falling from the cracks in the sky obeyed his command.
It formed massive spears of miasma in the air and targeted Jareth and Zion at the same time.
Their speed was incredibly fast and almost instantaneous!
[Grade-1 Wood Magic: The Tree God’s Descent!]
A massive magic circle appeared above the city, and a gigantic golem made of tree roots and branches appeared in the air!
It was so massive that its shadow made the entire city below darken.
The giant tree golem spread a massive tree formation in the shape of an umbrella above it and blocked all the miasmic liquid with its own body.
Its massive hand got in the way and stopped all the miasmic spears fired by Rahnan.
*BOOOOM!!!* *BOOOMMM!!!*
"I was just going to sit and enjoy, but you threw so much miasma all over that I lost my first-row seat and had to come on the stage!!"
Luche appeared beside Zion and complained loudly while looking at Rahnan.
Despite all the chaos, there was a seductive smile on her beautiful face, and she was a bit annoyed that she had to personally enter the fray.
Originally, she had completely neglected Zion’s order of helping others and dealing with the False Dome Cult members.
She was just sitting on the rooftop of some random house and was enjoying everything unfold.
But then a massive amount of miasmic liquid fell on the house, and she had no choice but to defend herself.
That rooftop belonged to the house in which Azul’s sister was staying. Luche created a barrier to save herself and, in turn, saved the life of Azul’s older sister by sheer coincidence.
She was then forced to enter the fray and decided to help Zion, as she didn’t want to help Rahnan, who looked extremely ugly at first glance.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! BEHEHEHEHEHE!!!"
Rahnan didn’t care that his attacks were blocked; a wide grin appeared on his face as he started laughing like a maniac.
"I KNOW EVERYTHING!!! EHEHEHEHE!!!! MY GOD CAN SENSE THE DANGER!!! I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SOMETHING!!!!"
While saying those words loudly, Rahnan kept laughing like a maniac and looked directly in the direction where Jareth’s mansion was.
Seeing him look in that direction, Jareth moved almost instantly.
’I knew it... the more the presence of miasma increases in the air, the more the sea of miasma’s control over this place will increase...’
’If we are too late, miasma will sense what I am trying to do and will likely use that false god as a puppet to destroy my plan! I must finish this battle fast!!’
Jareth can’t afford to let Rahnan live; if Rahnan lives, he will become a big problem in his plan and might even keep sensing more and more things if given enough time.
Miasma has started using Rahnan as a ’scout,’ and he’s become a complete puppet by now.
[Grade-1 Fire Magic: True Flame Vortex!]
Jareth immediately cast his own magic, and a gigantic flame vortex appeared in the sky and burned hundreds of thousands of monsters to a crisp.
[Forbidden Magic: Soul Bombardment!]
Jareth used a few hand signs to boost his magic power, summoned his grimoire to amplify his magic by several times, and then cast forbidden magic that devoured all the souls of the burning beasts in the sky as a power source.
Rahnan’s hundreds of eyes started bleeding almost instantly as he got hit by the effects of that ’soul bombardment’; the power of hundreds of souls hit his soul and caused tremendous mental and soul damage to him.
He coughed a mouthful of blood, and several of his eyes burst apart on the spot; his control over miasmic corruption loosened, and he almost fell from the sky.
"This!!? This attack!? This is the same as the one I used to break the golden nail!!"
"You! How did you copy the mental attack of the disfigured rotting beast from the ’Wailing Hills’!?"
Rahnan was shocked at Jareth’s attack.
He himself was only able to do a similar attack to break the golden nail buried deep in the ice by using a powerful grimoire and copying it from the organism sealed in the ’Wailing Hills’ area!
But Jareth was doing it all by himself! That was insanely shocking!
"No wonder, I felt skeptical about why there was no false dome cult members in the ’Wailing Hills’ area; it turns out you went there only to copy the attack of that being and left right after..."
Jareth finally understood the truth: it’s possible for Rahnan to travel deep into the ’Wailing Hills,’ as he has an affinity with light elementals like Zion and also has miasma to help him.
He’s basically as good as Zion and Luche combined!
’I can’t let him live; I must kill him here today!’
Jareth’s hostility towards Rahnan increased tremendously as he got ready for another round of attacks.
