Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 180: Lava Lake.

Star Eater was an extremely frightening extraterrestrial being. As adults they are creatures that swallow planets and stars to become their energy source. Even Tier six gods would not be able to fight them at the same Tier, unless they used divine items.

However, how easy was it to obtain a divine item?!. Which makes people feel lucky, their numbers are very small because they are very difficult to breed. Even their eggs take a very long time to hatch.

The chance of meeting them throughout the universe is only 0.00000001%. Need to know, in one quadrant, there are millions or even billions of universes. Damn, I met one of them at this place.

I got that 0.00000001% chance. But somehow, this was the first time I felt so unhappy because of my good luck.

«Omniscient Eye»

...----------------...

Race: Star Eater.

Species: Star-Swallowing Obsidian.

Phase: Babygrease.

Tier: Meteorite. (Tiere 3).

Description: Extremely strong extraterrestrial race. Although their numbers were few, they were one of the Beasts inhabiting the peaks throughout Alterion. Within 1000 years, the Star Eater would only produce one egg, and another thousand years of that egg would hatch. The eggs need to absorb radiation and heat from the surrounding environment to help them hatch. Wherever the egg hatched, then the place would be a ruin after all the energy in that place was swallowed to help it grow.

Special Ability: Swallowing Stars (Stage one).

In the first stage, Star Eater can absorb the surrounding energy to continue growing and recuperate while injured.

Stage two, Star Eater can absorb anything including meteorites and planets.

Stage three, Star Eater can swallow stars.

...----------------...

It was fortunate that I managed to find it before it grew up. If I find it too late, maybe the entire mainland will turn into a terrible mess.

Although it would not be swallowed by the Star Eater because its energy was too great, but perhaps the surface of the mainland would be destroyed and the living creatures on it would be wiped out by the Star Eater.

Even though he is at my level, but I barely have the confidence to defeat him. With an environment full of radiation like this, he seemed to get an unlimited supply of energy. Moreover, my fire ability will not have a big effect on him.

It's really going to be a tough fight. Although it was difficult, but the sensation of fighting a boss like this, made my heart beat faster. It reminds me of the days of playing games at Alterion.

Swabs....

Star Eater flapped its huge wings to fly into space. Although the bodies of the Star Eater were huge, but they had extremely incredible speed. As it flew into the sky, its wings made a line of red light in the air, like a burning meteor tail.

Star Eater flew through the clouds, making the dark clouds scatter and showing the blue sky behind it. He was floating in the air while opening his wide wings, making the sun behind him blocked so I could only see a black silhouette from him.

From that silhouette, four fiery red pupils emitted a cruel red glow. Maybe he was so angry that I interrupted his break, or maybe he felt a threat from me that had already killed five crabs as he absorbed the energy. He didn't want his energy absorption to be interrupted, so he might want to get rid of me.

If my strength was greater, perhaps he would prefer to hide, but since he saw that my strength was only Tier three, he dared to come out to kill me.

He had not thought at all about whether I had the strength to kill him at the same Tier or not. That was one of the weaknesses of Star Eater who was still a baby, they had yet to be able to absorb all the blood inheritances from his ancestors and only acted on instinct and estimation. You could say he was very impulsive.

His wings trembled slightly and he instantly disappeared in his place. I could only see a red line before a huge claw was right in front of my face.

Even though it was only a split second, I could still take some time to put up a defense. I resisted the claw attack with the sword blade so that the attack did not fall directly onto my body.

The creature did not need to coat its claws with mana, just by harnessing the kinetic energy caused by its extremely fast movements, it already had an enormous destructive power.

How could I possibly withstand such a class attack?!. As a result, my body was thrown and hit the surface of the barren land.

Bang...!!

A large crater was formed due to the impact of the violent impact. I felt that all the bones in my body had been shaken very badly. My throat was slightly salty in tandem with a rusty taste that spread throughout my mouth.

A large mouthful of blood spewed out onto the barren land. My hands were shaking and numb from just one impact. I looked up and saw the monster looking at me with all four red pupils, there was arrogance and disdain in those four eyes.

Filia:"You are just a very arrogant baby. See how I'm gonna pack you."

That monster despite being massive in stature, he had an incredible speed that I had expected from the start. That's why I always activate Omniscient eye so I can keep up with the quick movements. After all, Star Eater was a creature that lived in space and moved from one universe to another. So, it was only natural that he had such speed.

Just imagine that the average distance between Earth and Mercury could be around seventy-seven million kilometers. If the beings that explored the entire void lacked speed, how could they venture?. Moreover, Star Eater is a creature that swallows stars to meet its nutrients. And we know how big the distance is between one star and another.

Silver white wings formed on my back.I must have a speed of up to Mach eight to match that creature. It was just the speed of a baby, once they matured, its speed would double and could even be up to 30% the speed of light.

That doesn't sound very fast if it's in the speed it takes to explore the entire universe and quadrant, but they have another ability as they grow up - to fold up space to travel, that can boost its speed up to three times the speed of light.

Extremely loud sonic waves rang out and shattered the surface of the ground. I immediately raised the sword and slashed it into the creature's head.

Slash....!

With a flash of red light, one of the horns on his head was partially cut off.

Roarr....!

A loud shout resounded echoing throughout the sky. I managed to cut the horn because the creature was too careless. If he's ready, I won't be that easy to get his horns.

When I wanted to swing back the katana in my hand, suddenly my eyes caught the shadow of the tail sweep that was about to hit my body. I immediately used my speed to dodge the attack. A few moments later, the shadow became real. It was fortunate that I dodged it before the attack came.

This is the predictive ability of Omniscient eye that can see the future, or rather calculate the enemy's attack path before the attack comes.

Its extremely long tail swept through the air and made the air scream with a deafening sound. Because the speed of the tail swing was at Mach two, so the sound of the split wind came after the attack.

Although I dodged, but the wind that was caused managed to make me pushed back. Before I stabilized the body, the monster again raised its huge claws and wanted to hit me.

Fifteen layers of golden shields appeared before me. The monster's large claws slammed into the shield, causing it to shatter one by one until the final shield was also destroyed. However, the shield had already given me enough time to dodge and leave the attack area.

Bang ...!

A large hole formed on the ground due to the effect of the blow. Although the punch looked ordinary, but there was a red aura solidified in his hand and it could expand the destructive effect of his fist. As a result, the aura that was successfully avoided would continue to advance to the ground and destroy it.

There was no way I could wait for the monster to come back to attack me. I flew at high speed and stabbed the back of the creature with the tip of the katana.

Although it was initially difficult to enter, but eventually its extremely strong defense managed to create a gap. Before the katana pierced too deep, the monster flew around, with a flying speed that

amazingly, I was thrown off his back.

As it spun in the air, suddenly a tail sweep hit my body in a crushing manner. I feel my head spinning and so screwed up. In just a split second, I felt that my body had hit the ground with a terrifying speed.

Three of my ribs and eleven of my spine had severe cracks. Because the land of this armor is too weak, Scorpio's armor has been destroyed a lot. As I tried to stand up, several pieces of iron clothes fell to the ground and turned into light particles before disappearing.

A white flame immediately lit up all over my body and healed my most severe injuries. There was no time to heal everything, so I only chose to heal the wounds that affected my movements the most.

Really horrible. Even with the divine weapon, I still find it very difficult to injure him. Although at Tier three I have not been able to use the entire potential of the divine weapon, but this weapon is already extremely powerful. The proof, the extremely powerful Star Eater defense managed to be broken through without much effort.

If it was just a Legendary weapon, I would only be able to make such a wound after making two or three attacks in the same place in a row. This proved the gap between the divine item and the item below it.

I saw that Star Eater stopped in midair and looked at me hatefully. The wound on his back had healed after he absorbed the heat and radiation present in this place.

No, can't keep going like this. If I continue to have the monster fight in this area, then he can benefit from the environment and always obtain an almost unlimited supply of energy.

Other than my slightly lower strength, he gained the wholeness of the surroundings. This will soon lead to defeat for me.

«Soul Force:Activate»

A giant red golden lotus shadow was floating above me. A transparent human shadow sat in the middle of the lotus flower with its eyes closed. The shadow opened its eyes slowly. Those eyes were golden and red in color which were very similar to Omniscient eyes like mine. Not only were the eyes similar, the entire features of the figure were completely similar to mine.

Bang...!

However, before I fused myself with soul force, the monster had already arrived in front of me and opened its huge mouth.

He opened his mouth and bit my left arm. Not only was the monster moving fast, the transparent shadow on top of the lotus flower also swung its hand. As if there was an invisible force, the monster was instantly thrown to the ground and fell down like a meteor.

Akh...!

But it's also a little late. My lower left arm was already torn apart by monsters. But there was no blood dripping from the wound. My left hand was covered with a blackish-red flame that continued to propagate and burn my hand.

Looking at the inflamed red flames, I was forced to bite my lower lip and insert a red katana between my hands and body and lift it into the air violently. The burnt piece of hand was thrown into the air along with a shower of red blood.

I had to cut off my left hand so that the black red flames would not spread throughout my body. This fire is terrifying. I've never heard that Star Eater has fire fighting techniques like this.

A white flame immediately enveloped my severed shoulder and stopped the bleeding. I looked down and saw the monster standing up slowly from the ground while shaking its dizzy head.

The attack did not kill me, but the lotus shadow above my head had also disappeared. I could see a glint of pride in the monster's eyes.

God fucking. You little monster who dared insult me. Without further ado, I raised the blood red sword and flew straight towards the monster. You want to fight?!. Then let's fight with all our strength.

«Twelve Constellation Armor: Capricorn»

The purple gold armor had turned into a golden armor with a blue alloy like water. To fight with the Star Eater who has the fire element, I used the armor with the water element.

Of course there are armors with strong water elements, including Aquarius. But Aquarius is an armor for magicians that will be very bad in this fight. I chose Capricorn because Capricorn is a special armor for magic fighters that combines physical and magic combat. Similar to Magicswordman, but they only use magic for melee combat in the form of bare hands or blunt weapons.

«Martial Arts Technique: Thousand Raindrops»

My fists and feet were covered in a transparent blue water. Before the monster actually stood up, I slammed into his neck with a single punch.

Bang...!

The blow landed heavily. When the punch hit the target, there was a large splash of water and soaked the monster's body. Not getting there, I also landed a kick on the monster's body. The more attacks, the monster's body was getting wet with blue-colored water.

After all this was an attack from a Tier three warrior, although he had extremely formidable defense, such an attack was not an attack that could be put up with indiscriminately physical bodies.

I continued to land attacks that hit the monster's body. With a powerful attack, the monster was bobbing like a boat in the ocean, the hard skin protecting it had many cracks and red blood flowing through the crack of the flatten.

Ten strikes...

Hundred attacks...

Thousand attacks...

After the thousandth attack, the monster's body was already thrown away from its original place. It's not over yet...

The bomb...!!

Roars...!

A very loud muffled bang sounded from where the monster was. The water that enveloped his body, was not only the effect of the attack, but it was a real attack. When the water is attacked by a thousand blows, it will hold the force of the attack and imitate it

Then, the water would be compressed into the enemy's body as its center very suddenly which was comparable to a thousand attacks on the stack into one. Thus, the enemy will receive a very strong water pressure.

Due to that intense pressure, the strong outer protector of the monster became cracked with a lot of blood flowing. From the corner of his eyes and mouth also drained blood indicating that his internal organs were injured.

The roar....!

I wanted to give him another attack, but the monster looked at me and roared very loudly. A blackish-red ribbon emerged from the lava lake that headed towards the monster's body. It is energy absorbed. The wounds on his body were healed very quickly.

Swoss...!

A black-red flame instantly lit up and enveloped the monster's body. Although that black red flame looked extremely ferocious, but I knew that it was only an aura. Maybe the core of the fire was in the depths of the lava lake.

Because it absorbed too much fire energy, the monster could visualize fake flames and manipulate the flame aura to its own advantage.

It's difficult. Besides that fire was extremely fierce, it could also burn mana from my body. So, magic attacks were almost useless.

I changed the armor so I could re-use the katana more effectively. The libra armor looks like the Yoroi Armor a simplified samurai. However, the sode and koshi-ate parts remain in a simpler and lighter form so as not to affect movement.

This armor is very suitable for using katana and can maximize the use of Yosamu Juuchi.

The monster flew rapidly towards me, the huge claws covered in flames became even bigger and deadly. This time I did not dodge, but directly clashed with the monster.

Bang...!

The shockwave instantly made waves over the lake and expelled the black clouds in the sky. The hot temperature of the black red flame spread out and burned the ground below.

The sparks hit my armor, but since it was just a clone, the effect was not too great. I can still feel the heat from that fire, but it won't be able to penetrate my armor, at least not in such a low concentration like this.

It seemed like the monster was also aware of it. He increased the concentration of that black red flame aura so that it looked even more solid. The temperature of the flame also rose sharply.

How could I let him burn me without a fight?!. I instantly distanced myself from the monster's claws and turned to its back to attack.

A ferocious tail sweep greeted me and almost hit my body. Because it was the tail, as he swung to the left, the right part would definitely open. While avoiding the tail sweep, I immediately moved to his right body and slashed open the right tail.

Splash...!

Red blood spurted from the incision. Although it was not a fatal wound, but it was enough. The bloody red mist on this katana became more and more numerous and almost condensed into a liquid. What a strong blood.

Yuosamu Yuuchi:Ten Thousand Chilling Night Slashes«

That blood red aura solidified around the katana, making the blade of the Katana become longer and sharper. The fire on the monster's body was extremely hot, but that didn't mean I was helpless.

I swung the katana and ten thousand blood red crescent moons appeared in the air. The crescent moon instantly flew towards the monster very quickly. The sound of cutting meat sounded extremely loud along with the screams of the monster.

It should have had a freezing effect that would freeze the blood of its victims, but due to the dense fire energy within the monster's body, the effect became very small.

Amidst the excruciating pain, the monster opened its mouth wide and sucked up all the energy that was around it. A ball of dark red light appeared in his mouth and was directly sprayed towards me.

A long dark red light came towards me very quickly. I mustered all my strength to dodge the attack. Nonetheless, the hot temperature of the attack still burned my armor and one of its shoulder protectors had burned into nothingness. Just a few more centimeters, half of my body will disappear.

Damnit... I'm breathless. The attack was heading towards the fortress. I didn't think much of it at first, but that dark red light turned out to have a very far range. I was afraid that the attack might reach the fortress. If that happens, then make sure that the entire fort will disappear.

That blood-red light split through the sky as if the end of the world had arrived. The air around was boiling and hissing due to the high temperature as well as the speed of that dark red light.

Philia:"Arkne, answer me!.."

"Your Majesty, are there any new instructions?."

Philia:"How is the fort?."

"Nothing happened. It's just, there was a pretty strong attack just now, but I can withstand it."

Filia:"That's great."

"Your Majesty, do you need any help?."

Filia:"No need, this fight is almost over."

"Understand."

I'm saying it's not without reason. I saw that the wound on the monster's body had not been recovered and blood was still dripping from the scar. In addition, the monster looked even more sluggish and looked tired. I started to have a bold guess. Did the monster use all of its energy to make the attack just now?. But, where did his belief that he could kill me with that attack come from?!.

Perhaps the monster had been overwhelmed by madness and ended up attacking me with all its might in a state of rage. If I get hit by that attack, I have no doubt that it could kill me.

I did not waste this opportunity and immediately flew towards the monster to continue fighting. This fight became even more brutal and bloody as the monster ignored the entire defense and focused on attacking me crazily, but unfortunately, I was able to dodge the attack.

Flashes of red sword light and black red flames could be seen from time to time. The sky was filled with violence whichever raged. While the land has been filled with holes and destruction.

I don't know how long this fight went on. Suddenly a tail hit right on my back, threw me to the ground and made a huge hole like a meteorite crater.

I didn't think too much about it, but the injury to my body was already very severe. If the armor that covered my body was not a magical armor that would turn into light particles after being destroyed, then maybe my body would be filled with pieces of armor that were crushed and entered into the flesh.

Ugh...!!

My throat gave off a salty taste and I couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. My chest felt very tight due to the hard impact.

Before I stood up, the sound of strong winds and high temperatures came to me. A dark red fireball shot towards me very quickly. I flew away and avoided the attack.

Bang...!!

A huge explosion rang out and the ground where I was standing at the beginning had turned into a blazing magma field, the result of the ground being melted down by the high-temperature flames.

After dodging the attack, I stopped in midair and took a breath. I saw that the monster's body was also very tragic. The two horns had been cut off and his entire body had many incisions that were spitting out red blood. Her four pupils were still looking at me sharply, but her eyes were glaring, indicating that she was exhausted.

The attack of red light at the beginning also drained all of his energy. Before the energy was filled, I had already attacked him and inflicted a lot of injuries, so the monster was in a state of exhaustion at the moment.

Philia:"See who can survive to the end."

I darted flying towards the monster and continued the fight. Defense?, what is defense?. Right now all I have in mind is attacking, attacking, and attacking.

I could feel happiness every time the katana in my hand broke through the monster's defenses and injured it. I was very happy when I saw the monster dripping blood. Each drop of blood from the monster was like a tonic that stimulated my body to produce more dopamine.

«Racial Magic: Phoenix Claw»

A shadow of a huge Phoenix claw appeared behind me. As I swung the katana in my hand, the claw also shot towards the monster to deliver an attack.

Bang...!

A violent collision rang out between the Phoenix claws and the monster's body. The monster was immediately thrown to the ground. The wounds on his body that had yet to fully recover opened up again and blood spewed from his mouth.

I stood up and looked at the monster that was still lying on the ground weakly.

«Juuchi Yosamu:Final Execution»

The blood in the entire fighting area instantly turned into a blood mist and gathered above me. The bloody mist turned into the shadow of a samurai complete with his armor. The samurai raised his bloody red katana and along with my movements, the shadow of the samurai also slashed his sword towards the monster.

Slashh...!

Splash..!

That slash instantly beheaded Star Eater. Red blood spurted from his neck and the entire body of the Star Eater fell weakly. The life in Star Eater's eyes slowly faded away and eventually disappeared completely.

I didn't get to enjoy this victory. My head was dizzy and my vision became very blurred. My whole body is weak.

I felt that my whole body started to fall to the ground very quickly. But a moment later, a delicate hand hugged me and prevented me from falling to the ground from a height.

Philia:"Arkne...!"

Arkne:"I'm always by your side, Your Majesty."

The one who hugged me was Arkne. He looked at me with soft but sorrowful eyes. After that, I knew nothing more and my consciousness fell into sleep.

.....

I don't know how long I was unconscious, but after I woke up, I saw that I had been mobbed by several people including my mother who hugged me while crying. His eyes were red like pomegranate stones and tears fell down his cheeks nonstop.

I tried to get up, but I felt pain all over my body. As I noticed the intense pain in my left arm, I realized that my arm had been cut off during the fight.

Although my whole body hurts, but I can still get up and sit down.

Philia:"Mother.. Uhuk...!!"

Harnas & Rovell:"Philia..!!"

Before I could finish speaking, I suddenly coughed and spewed out a mouthful of blood. With Phoenix blood, I should have been able to heal the wounds very quickly, but my current wounds have still not healed. This proves that the wounds I received were not light.

I waved to my mom and dad so they wouldn't panic.

Filia:"I'm fine."

Harnas:"How can it be good?!. Look, you're hurt so bad. And... And your hands..hiks..!"

I saw my mother's worry and sadness.

Filia:"Mother, I'm fine. After all, it's just a broken hand."

Rovell:"Yes, I will soon call upon the best Cleric in the country to grow your hand."

Dad looks like a man who finds light in the dark and wants to run straight to call a Cleric.

Filia: "Dad not to worry."

I tried to stand up. Mom wanted to stop me right away, but since I asked her not to worry, they helped me to stand up. I looked at Arkne standing behind mom and dad while looking at me.

Philia:"Arkne...!"

Arkne:"The branch is here, Your Majesty."

Philia:"How long have I been unconscious?."

Arkne:"4 hours, 23 minutes, 12.4 seconds."

I nodded at Arkne's reply. I didn't think I was unconscious for that long. I took a deep breath and walked over to the corpse of Star Eater lying in a pool of blood with his head separated.

His eyes were burning red, now becoming duller and seemingly empty.

I extended my hand to the monster's head. My five fingers were burned by the white silver flames with flashes of electricity around them. The moment my hand touched the monster's head, a black-red strand immediately infiltrated from its head and approached the white flame in my hand.

That somewhat illusory white flame became increasingly solid and real. I was absorbing that black red flame aura to heal myself. Slowly, the discomfort in my body began to diminish and heal completely.

It's just an aura, I don't know how powerful it would be if I could absorb the true core of this flame.

My severed hand also grew slowly until it finally completely returned to how it was.

After finishing all that, I looked at this huge monster corpse and smiled. My heart is filled with pride after successfully defeating him.

Philia:"Arkne, move this corpse into Sylph."

Arkne:"Yes, Your Majesty."

After all, the corpse of the Star Eater was a Treasure. In addition, the drop item that is still in his body has not been taken.

Finally, I saw the lava lake that was in the middle of this barren area. At first I thought that the place was due to the actions of Star Eater, but I dispelled that thought after seeing the aura of blackish-red flames coming out from the surface of the lake.

I walked towards the lake and watched it for longer.

Filia: "You wait for me, I'll be right back."

White flames engulfed my entire body and I immediately plunged towards the lake.

I wonder what is stored at the bottom of this lake....

(The end of this chapter)

I'm sorry that yesterday was not updated. Many distant relatives came to the house yesterday. Even today, there are many more coming... This is a very rare moment.
