Chapter 402 - An Old Man Flexes

[Smite of Liberation].

A soft whisper could be heard in the wind as the words of a skill Noah was familiar with was cast, yet an entering different feeling spread out through the entire area as the skies split apart, an exquisitely designed golden sword that seemed very corporeal coming out of the shattered sky with a magnificent aura as it targeted the Dark Winged Chaos Tiger that continued to fight with its [Domain of Chaos]!

SHAA!

The enormous wings of the Dark Winged Chaos Tiger flapped serenely as its body disappeared into particles of darkness, its domain being wiped away as the Blade of Liberation that was multiple sizes larger and more physical compared to what Noah and Athena could cast smashing into the area and burning up any aura of chaos in the surroundings.

WAA!

Heavy winds released as the opposing laws of fate and chaos came together, the magnificently dark shimmering body of the Dark Winged Chaos Tiger rematerializing in the skies as it glanced down towards them with an expression akin to looking at ants.

"Arm yourselves with Empyrean Armament, and watch what else you can do with these skills as you amass more fate lines."

Grandmaster Vredral spoke cooly as he stretched his neck, seemingly getting ready to go all out as numerous Empyrean Guards that had a wild aura were summoned, their presence soon turning to rays of light as they moved to wrap around the body of the wizened old man!

A bright golden light pushed out any remaining aura of chaos as an exquisitely designed armor appeared on the body of the Grandmaster, his voice ringing out again as he now wielded in his hands two pulsing golden hammers.

"Crixus was genius enough that he was able to show variations in the abilities of [Fate’s Guardian] when he just began amassing Fate Lines, but the possibilities of what you can make these abilities do only increases as the number of Fate Lines breaks into a certain point."

The old man was teaching as he fought, the golden armor and weapons surrounding him being filled with runic inscriptions that were not normally seen when Athena or others cast the abilities of Fate’s Guardian!

This was something attainable by those with a large number of Fate Lines, something that Noah had already begun doing because of his usage of Skill Points!

RUMBLE!

The Dark Winged Chaos Tiger took the threatening atmosphere of fate as a threat, its body expanding as it seemingly became even larger, an attack being thrown from its mouth as vicious winds began to rage around them.

[Chaotic Cyclones]!

VOOM! VOOM!

Numerous terrifying cyclones of darkness began to rush towards them, Grandmaster Vredral looking at them cooly as the other members of the Righteous Fire Exploration Team were equipped with they Armament from Fate’s Guardian.

"When you get to this stage, you will bypass the stage of passively using Fate Lines to augment your attacks and..."

THRUM!

The body of the old man seemed to trembled with power as the roiling Lines of Fate became high strung and tight, Noah observing the stellar essence of fate actually leaving from these Fate Lines and going towards the hammers in each of the Grandmaster’s hands.

"...become able to actively use the strength of Fate as you momentarily take control of the Fate Lines in your body and release pure Fate Energy."

BOOM! BOOM!

The golden hammers in his hands waved towards the oncoming Chaotic Cyclones as a scintillating golden aura of fate shot forth from them, smashing into the cyclones as making them disappear as if they were nothing!

ROAR!

The furious roar of the Dark Winged Chaos Tiger could be heard as even more cyclones rained down, the shining lights of fate energy being swung from the Grandmaster only increasing as the battle against the Chaos Behemoth was in full swing.

"You puny beings and your incoherent handling of fate, learn what it means to actually comprehend a law! [Ignition of Chaos- Disordered Rays]!"

The magnificent voice of the Dark Winged Chaos Tiger rang in their ears as the sky above them changed colors and darkened, numerous dark rays of light blotting out the skies as they began rushing towards them dangerously.

The [Domain of Fate] that wrapped around them from the Grandmaster pulsed strongly, the old man himself breathing out as his body bulged up suddenly, the hammers in his hands enlarging as he spoke out seriously.

"Defend!"

The members of the Righteous Fire Exploration team followed these words right away as their own bodies lit up with defensive skills, Noah hoisting up the golden shield on his left hand as he covered a majority of his body and prepared for the dark rays of light shooting down!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The earth shook as the horrendous attacks landed, the sneaky Dark Winged Chaos Tiger not giving them a chance to react as his body disappeared in the skies and reappeared to their left side, right next to Boru who was defending from a dark ray of light!

"Boru!"

"What!"

The members of the team quickly turned their heads as they saw the mountainous claw of the Dark Winged Chaos Tiger smashing down, knowing that even the strong Boru would not be able to withstand this crafty attack as they tried to speedily move towards him.

But...they had no need to as at this moment of life and death for Boru, calm words reached permeated the surrounding as the golden aura of fate bloomed toward the oncoming dark claw.

"You’re leaving yourself wide open, beasty."

ZOOM!

The words of Grandmaster Vredral were accompanied by a rushing golden spear rod of enormous size, its tip passing a few inches in front of Boru’s shocked face as it pierced the oncoming claw and stopped it in this tracks, dark blood flowing out as at this moment, tens of similarly enormous spears rained down on the attacking Dark Winged Chaos Tiger as unknowingly, this powerful Grandmaster Vredral had cast [Judgment] without anyone’s knowledge!

ROAR!!!
