My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 116: 116 Hero? I Never Aimed To Be One

Antares knew that this ability was the same as he saw Haru use against Legia but this time it was spreading further like a poison and if he let it affect him deeply then.

He would not be able to regenerate again plus the pain that was like every cell in his body was set on fire and that is very fatal in a fight. So he was planning to let his left wing heal and then fly up to keep his distance from Haru in front of him.

SLASH* CRACK*

But before he can think further there was a dark red fire slash that was more than 300 meters long coming straight at Antares aiming to cut him in two as it turned the land upside down.

Antares moved to the left quickly to avoid coming in contact with the attack but half of his right wing was cut off as his blood painted the ground again.

SPLASH*

'DAMN IT, Now I can't even fly up to keep my distance, is this what he wanted. He is more scheming than I thought.' Antares shouted in his mind as he quickly ripped his wing off on instinct to not let the damage spread further.

"You know that one didn't have the same property as the one before, are you really that scared of my attack? Heh, why don't you guess if the next attack is going to be like that or not?" Haru's mocking voice rang out.

Antares felt his anger rise to a new level when he heard this, he then remembered that he didn't feel the same pain as before from the last attack. So in truth, he ripped off his own wing in fear.

Fear? Him feeling fear? The King of Dragons who was a nightmare for everyone including the Rulers. He was scared of an ability of a mere Human?

[YOU SCOUNDREL, I'LL REDUCE YOU TO FUCKING FODDER FOOD,] Antares shouted at the top of his lungs as 8 large orbs of red and purple fire formed around him. And all of them sent beams of fire at Haru with full force at once.

Seeing the beams coming at him Haru controlled the Fox to swing the katana in a horizontal slash with full force.

SLASH* BOOOOOOOOOM*

BANG* BANG* BANG* BANG* BANG* BANG* BANG* BANG*

The beams of fire were deflected just by the sheer pressure behind the slash and the beams fell on the land around Haru destroying the land and leaving deep craters.

The slash didn't stop but traveled forward while cracking the ground below it as it made its way toward Antares who was running at Haru with full force breaking the ground with every step as his claw that has been healed already with his wings being regenerated as well.

Antares flew over the Slash with ease and swooped down on Haru with his mouth wide open to bite off his head. The speed of Antares was superfast as he flapped his wings to increase his speed. Antares reached in front of Haru at a blinding speed trying to bite off his head and the fox swung its katana horizontally.

SWOOSH* CRACK*

Antares went past Haru as he had the left arm of the fox in his mouth and threw it on the ground he was about to turn around but then he fell to the ground face first.

'What? What happened?' Antares was shocked beyond belief but…..

SPLASH* TSSSSSS*

[ARGGGHHHHH] Antares shouted in agony as he felt a deep slash on his back with half of his wings were missing again and his blood flowed out of the wound that was burning him making him grit his teeth.

Antares the very personification of fire was being burnt no one was able to believe it not even Antares himself. He felt the burning spread deeper into his body and he knew that he can't stop it now so before it is too late he quickly ripped off his wings at the base and regenerated it in an instant.

Then he saw the nine-tailed fox which was covered in armor turn around with its hand already recovered.

'For me to be pushed this far by a single human, it has to be that 'one' for sure.' Antares thought.

[So this is the power of the Real 'Champion of Humanity' The old man talked about, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA,] Antares laughed as he remembered his creator's words.

'Humanity may be weak, but when in dire situations they produce extraordinary people who are competent enough to face any problems. So don't look down on them even if you kill them easily today there will be a day when you will face your match in them. Nature always finds a way to balance the playing field,' The Absolute being told him that after some time when he came to meet him after a long time from his birth.

'I look forward to killing him then, anyway why did you come and meet me,' Antares at that time smirked.

'I just wanted to tell you this, and I wanted to give you the last gift as your father.' The absolute being said before he handed him a box covered in purple and red carvings and vanished again. and the news of him being killed by the rulers came after some time. Antares knew that there has to be a motive behind him coming here.

No there was a motive behind everything the absolute being did from the point he came to this universe to their creation everything had a reason and a plan behind it, but Antares didn't care all he cared about was the destruction of every creation in existence so he didn't put many thoughts in it.

He had been trying to open the box all this time but he wasn't able to open it nor was he able to destroy it. he didn't care either way as the only thing on his mind was to search for the Hero who can face him.

'So this is what he meant by the one chosen by humanity, My Match, huh. I have seen many heroes before from the worlds we monarchs have destroyed but none of them came close to what the old man said, even that woman who fought me before was a hero of her world but she wasn't able to do much, and still lost her world. But this time I have met the real one.' Antares smiled as he has been waiting to fight the so-called hero chosen by humanity.

'I'll burn him down, I'll destroy him fully, I'll trample on everything he cares about.' Antares felt his desire to destroy increased further and further increased his power as well.

[Listen Humanity's Hero, let's see if you can save them. This is the perfect match between us, I am a Flame born in the darkness that seeks to destroy everything and you are the Flame that was born in light that seeks to protect everything. Let's see which one of us prevails in this.] Antares shouted as he flapped his wings and flew up in the sky.

"Hero? I have never aimed to be one. To protect everyone? I only want to protect those who are important to me. I don't care if you were born in darkness or light or wherever the fuck you came out from, the fact that you hurt the ones I love is enough reason for me to cut you down. I don't need to be a hero chosen by the world to do it." Haru scoffed at Antares as he made the nine tails lift the Katana above his head taking a stance.

[That is good, HAHAHAHAHAHA. We don't need a reason to tear each other apart, Well said indeed.] Antares laughed like a maniac his only desire was to cause destruction.

That was all he ever wanted he didn't need a reason or motive to do it. He just wanted to and that is what he has been doing all of his life ever since he was born.

Antares gathered a ball of dark purple fire right in front of his mouth and poured all of his mana even going as far as to use his life force as fuel to increase his power.

'I'll kill him with this,' Antares had made up his mind as this was the most exciting fight he has had in all of his life. Not even fighting all of the rulers together came close to this. So even if he dies he will be satisfied with this.

'He is preparing for the last attack, huh. Let's see what you can do.' Haru thought as he prepared to use the special ability of the [Abe no Ohabari].

[Final Breath of Destruction] Antares shouted as he released the dark purple fire beam that was more than 500 meters in diameter, the beam evaporated the ground like it was nothing the attack was heading straight at Haru who was hovering inside the head of the fox who was standing with his katana above his head.

"[Abe no Ohabari: Shinku no Tsuki (Crimson Moon)]" Haru shouted as he brought the katana down.
