Chapter 1216: Strange orb left behind
The giant asura quickly released the weapons that had been stuck and then gathered its corruption energy to form new weapons when it saw Alidus charging at it.
The speed that it moved at was much faster than anything else that it had done.
This just went to show how much fear and respect it was showing to the power that Alidus wielded.
Though it wasn't wrong for it to show this kind of fear and respect since that club of his had smashed through the demon commanders in one blow previously.
Only the new corruption energy weapons that the giant asura created were weaker than the ones that it had before. These ones were created too quickly without having time to gather the corruption energy, so there wasn't enough corruption energy in it to match the might of the club.
Alidus swung his club right through these corruption energy weapons, shattering them and purifying them at the same time.
Then after smashing through them, the club continued until it hit the giant asura right in the chest.
Smoke appeared from the giant asura's chest after the club hit it, but it didn't go any further than that.
It wasn't like with the demon commanders where the club had been able to smash right through them and turn them into meat pulp. Instead, it seemed that the giant asura's muscles and corruption energy were enough to stop the power of Alidus' club.
Alidus narrowed his eyes when he saw this as if he didn't expect this, but he didn't hesitate as he suddenly jumped back.
Instead of trying to push forward, Alidus did the same thing as before where he started to run around in a circle around the giant asura. He didn't force this matter and instead relied on his agility so the giant asura couldn't fight back.
Though it seemed like the giant asura had tanked this hit, this wasn't the truth.
It was only on the surface that it seemed like the giant asura tanked the hit, but really it had suffered quite a bit when it was hit by Alidus' club like this.
The damage was actually under the surface of its skin.
A lot of the corrupted energy of the giant asura had been purified from that one strike from Alidus and had turned into smoke. At the same time, there was more and more of its corrupted energy being purified by the hands grabbing at it and the large roots that were stabbing at it.
While the giant asura would have been able to recover if it had some time to let the corrupted energy spread, it didn't have that time.
It was being ganged up on and being attacked continuously by these flies that wouldn't leave it alone. It just wasn't given any time to gather itself and heal up from its injuries.
The giant asura knew that at this rate, it wouldn't be able to win.
At this rate, it would die.
However, the giant asura didn't run.
The giant asura knew that it was the only thing that was keeping this demon army together, so the moment that it ran away, the demon army would collapse. Once the demon army collapsed, that meant that the task that the demon commanders had been given would fail. There was no future for them if they failed that task.
Even beyond that, they would implicate the demon king and the rest of the demon race if they failed.
So the giant asura didn't run even though it knew that it was in a bad position.
It did all that it could to fight back against the things that were attacking it, but there really was nothing that the giant asura could do against these things.
The hands, mist, and roots purified it while Alidus struck lethal blows.
All it could do was tank these lethal blows until it couldn't tank them any longer.
As the giant asura fell, it raised its six hands into the air and its three heads said at the same time, "Your majesty, I failed you."
Then after collapsing to the ground, it started to break apart.
It didn't just turn into a corpse, but rather the giant asura's body broke up as if it was being melted away. The way that the corpse broke down really seemed like there was something that was breaking down each part of the giant asura's body.
Eventually, the giant asura's corpse turned into a pool of flesh on the ground.
That was how the battle ended.
When the giant asura melted, it was as if the demons realized something and they stopped fighting.
There were some that tried to run, but they were taken down by the human soldiers. The rest of them just stood in place as if they didn't know what to do, though there were some of them that raised their hands as if they were giving up.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
I didn't approach the melted corpse of the giant asura and instead said to Ariel and Moon, "Let's purify it first and then see what happens."
The two of them nodded in agreement before sending the mist and roots into the mass of melted giant asura.
I did the same with the earth that was underneath the giant asura melted flesh pool.
In no time at all, all of the melted flesh was purified by the attacks that we used.
It seemed that if we didn't, the melted flesh pool might have been able to come back to life.
It was a good thing that I had been careful about this and used the divine energy to purify it. But after the melted flesh pool was purified, there was this strange thing that appeared. The others didn't seem to notice it, but I saw the glint coming from the ground.
So I went over on Joan and found that the glint was actually an orb.
It was this strange orb that was similar to the one that the dark elves had previously, only it didn't seem like there was anything inside of it.
