Chapter 242 Two beings

"Why are you scared? Why don't you fight with the universal laws if you're that obsessed with death?" Blocking the attack of Jormungand, Nikol questioned and decided to sneak behind him when he get the chance, but no matter how he tried Jormungand didn't have any intention of letting his guard down.

"You think we can fight with laws that created us? Nikol, you don't have any idea because you're new, but I already tried to fight them," He said and paused attacking for a minute and looked at Nikol with a look that couldn't be explained.

"They are not something we can beat, just like how humans or those apocalypse beings can't beat us, we can't beat laws," Nikol released a roundhouse kick while he was talking, but Jormungand quickly evaded it and continued talking.

"Nikol, take my place, at least pity on me, I have been in this universe since its birth and I'm tired, I want to disappear if you keep rejecting me like this, laws will force both of us and we won't be able to be free for at least another few ten thousand years,"

His words were too effective on Nikol, simply because he had no idea how powerful these laws were and how directly they can affect his life.

Determination welled up within him, pushing him to continue the fight despite the overwhelming odds between all of these enemies.

With renewed vigour, Nikol launched himself at Jormungand, a mixture of anger and empathy fueling his movements. He anticipated Jormungand's next strike, weaving through it with nimble footwork in the sky. As Jormungand attempted to counter, Nikol seized the opportunity to slip behind him, swiftly evading his grasp.

"Got you!" He suddenly said and attacked Jormungand's heart from the back.

Their battle intensified, the clash of their powers echoing through the cosmic void and also the earth. Nikol's movements became more calculated, his instincts honed by the urgency of the situation.

He feigned weakness, allowing Jormungand to land a solid hit. However, unbeknownst to Jormungand, it was all part of Nikol's plan.

As Jormungand gloated over his apparent victory, Nikol's eyes gleamed with determination. He channelled his inner strength, gathering energy for a decisive strike. With a surge of power, Nikol unleashed a devastating attack on his heart from the front, catching Jormungand off guard. The force of the blow sent Jormungand hurtling backwards, his body crashing into the barrier that they created causing it to cracka little.

Jormungand's coughed up a strange, otherworldly liquid as he struggled to regain his composure.

"What is this?" He looked at his hand to see a shining liquid that didn't have any colour or shape and he felt his mind was going crazy, as it was the last thing he wanted to see.

"Primal Energy! They are becoming liquids in my body, which means they are dying," He stood up and looked at Nikol with hatred. He was fed up with everything that he actually felt like destroying the whole universe, so he can die taking everyone into their graves.

But Nikol wasn't paying attention to him, instead, his face looked pale as he heard all the voices that kept collecting near the barrier all at once, and he knew things are getting too out of hand.

"I should go, I can't let any of them die," He thought with his eyes solely focusing on the battle that was going on the earth, but Jormungand took advantage of this moment and suddenly attacked Nikol's heart causing him to cough out the same liquid that came out of Jormungand's mouth and he repaired the barrier without letting Nikol go and support his girls.

"It's over, either of us is going to die here, now that we found we are not unkillable, I will give you a fair chance and tell," He paused and showed the primal liquid that kept leaking from his mouth.

"Our hearts when attacked with primal energy, makes a collision and kill all the existing primal energy, in simple terms, they die when collided with each other, which means only you and I can kill each other," He said and charge at Nikol without even waiting.

"So kill me, quickly kill me and go back to your girls, I have been waiting for this chance," He was overjoyed by this turn of events, but that same joy also blinded his logical thinking because he didn't bother to even think why something like this suddenly happened when they didn't have this problem earlier.

And same goes for Nikol who was thinking about going back to the girls, so he took Jormungand's advice and decided to quickly kill him, which is also his wish.

"A crack!" Artemis saw the crack that appeared in the sky when Jormungand collided with it and she knew Nikol was still there fighting.

"Alva, look! He's there, we need something that can break the barrier that keeps blocking us,"

Alva also noticed and she wondered what they are going to do, after all, they were just humans and none of them had the ability to fly.

"Goddess, we can't fly, can you do that, after all, you're a goddess," Alva questioned, but then Artemis looked at her with a complicated look.

"I could but, I don't have the power, after all, Nikol didn't bless me with the energy that he gave all of you, so I'm just a normal human here since this world doesn't have mana that can be used by me," Artemis said and took cover from the attacks that kept coming in their direction.

"But-"

She paused and looked in the direction of the tree that Nikol attacked and cut down.

"Those fruits of the tree that appeared near the hollow, they have the ability to give me energy, so I will-" She paused for a minute and looked at Alva.

"How do you know? How do you know that? Nikol didn't tell any of that to us," She said and took some distance and her sword came out of her cover which quickly went to her neck.

She had been rather suspicious about Artemis coming here, after all, she was even weaker than them without her mana, so there was no way she could travel all the way here in a short period of time like that.

"What are you talking about Alva? I am Artemis, why are you pointing your sword at me?" Artemis questioned, but Alva clearly noticed how different her tone was.

The moment she started to believe that Artemis in front of her was a lie, the image of Artemis that stayed in front of her started to blur and suddenly it changed into something more bizarre without leaving any trace of the previous beautiful goddess figure.

Alva quickly took a step back and her sword was about to cut off the head of the figure that looked like an old tree with its branches sprouting from its body, but she paused as it looked genuinely fearful of her as soon as its disguise vanished.

"What are you? Can you talk?" She asked keeping her distance, and to her surprise, the tree started to talk with its branches shaking like hands.

"I-I am... a guardian," the tree-being stuttered, its voice crackling like leaves rustling in the wind. "I assume the form of those whom you trust... to gain your attention, your trust. After all, we don't like to show our true forms,"

Alva's grip on her sword tightened, her suspicion mixing with curiosity. She took a cautious step forward, still wary of the creature's true intentions. "Why should I trust you? How can I be certain you're not another illusion and here to harm me?"

The tree-being exhaled a soft sigh, causing its branches to sway gently. "I understand your doubt, Alva. I am a guardian spirit tasked with protecting the balance of this world. I've sensed a disturbance, an impending calamity that threatens the realm."

It started to talk in a fearful tone without even bothering to hide that it was afraid of Alva.

"Explain!" Alva shouted and the tree suddenly covered her from an attack that came in her direction and took her to another place.

"What are you? Let me go," Alva quickly took some distance and looked at the tree guy only to see a huge cut on its back regenerating all the branches that got destroyed.

"Listen to me Alva, I'm on your side, We are the Guardian spirit of this land, these new human threats made us personally come here, I want to help Master Nikol to defeat Jormungand," The tree spoke with his body fully regenerating.

"Believe me, If I wanted you dead I could have done that when you were vulnerable, but I didn't,"

Alva was shaken because she didn't know what to believe. But she didn't have time to carefully think about things.

The girl who was on the verge of death kept coughing blood out and Alva knew if she didn't take her to Nikol things would get really ugly.

"So what are you suggesting me to do?" Alva asked looking at the tree-looking guy and she knew it will be now or never for them.
