NOVEL NEXT Chapter 236: hapter 233 - The French Battlefront (4)
Asterion, who was about to attack, looked up and in a mere instant, the clouds dispersed, a gigantic meteor appeared before his eyes!
His senses picked up nothing, not even a trace of magical energy, there was no negative magical energy in the air, there was absolutely nothing. The meteor simply appeared in front of him as if it had always been there, which was completely impossible.
And looking at Philip, Victor and Clarisse's shocked expression, Asterion knew that it wasn't their team's job either!
Drawing his wand, just as Asterion was ready to cut the meteor into several smaller pieces, an explosion occurred, a blinding light blinding anything nearby.
BOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
If Asterion hadn't activated his Second Innate Technique, [The Imperfect Destruction of Truth], he would have been blinded too and paralyzed by the violent shockwave that spread through the air.
Asterion watched the explosion with a cold expression, the gigantic meteor shattered into millions of smaller pieces and the sky was covered in flaming rocks falling towards the ground. If he didn't move, he knew that anything below Grade 1 would be dead, including the entire city of Andorra la Vieja!
Having canceled Sadalmelik-Albus' summoning, Asterion quickly summoned Ouroboros.
In an instant, a gigantic silver serpent manifested in the air as it moved its body gracefully through the air, letting out distant, guttural roars.
"Fall back." Asterion muttered to himself as a huge amount of magical energy inside him disappeared in the blink of an eye!
As soon as Asterion's words rang out, something that defied the logic of the world happened. Ouroboros' negative magical energy controlled the Aspect of Reality itself and distorted reality itself, cause and effect, time and space. Every sky that rained down flaming stones began to recede.
Philip, Victor and Clarisse, who had managed to regain their sight, were completely shocked by the scene before them, this was not the power that a mortal should possess, it was a power that only a God could manipulate.
At the same time, they understood that Asterion probably had Special Grade Cursed Spirits to deal with every situation they put him in. Honestly, a place with such an enemy made the three of them feel enormous pressure. Which reminded them of when they were still mere Grade 1 wizards, it had been a long time since they had felt that way.
Victor in particular, the oldest of the group at almost 147 years old, felt it even more than the two next to him, Philip and Clarisse, who were still relatively young at sixty and forty respectively.
Asterion didn't mind the stares of the three Special Grade Wizards and focused entirely on the meteor, now completely intact, with no sign that it was going to explode at any moment.
Patriarch Black was still using his two Innate Techniques, observing the whole meteor and analyzing how it had appeared in this place and fallen exactly at this unfortunate time.
Suddenly, the black pentagrams in Asterion's eyes noticed something unusual, an almost minute trace of Negative Magical Energy, smaller than a molecule, but still noticeable mainly to him. If it had been Rose, she would have noticed, the Six Eyes were really good at this.
Asterion followed the trail of negative magical energy in the air and looked towards the North, his gaze crossing great distances and stopping on a humanoid being on a hill. The being's skin resembled boulders while his figure resembled someone extremely fat. There were six eyes on the Cursed Spirit and his ears resembled Buddha ears.
At the same time, an Islamic-looking man stood next to the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, wearing an elegant black suit with a white vest. His beard was perfectly manicured and very well groomed.
Asterion's face instantly turned cold at the extreme, an intense and colossal murderous intent surrounded his body, it almost looked like a black and red subsistence.
Again, again someone was plotting against him, again and again, to say that Asterion was furious at this moment was to simplify what he was feeling.
He couldn't understand why no one had the respect for him that they should! Hadn't he already killed enough? Hadn't he already exposed more than one of his trump cards? As in Merlin's name, there was someone still out to plot against him.
It seemed that he had to destroy an entire country for people to have respect for him, if that didn't happen, he'd have to burn down the world for everyone to really respect him!
Asterion turned his wrist and a gigantic curtain of darkness formed above the sky, it was so big that it could easily reach tens of kilometers.
Asterion muttered coldly.
"Jörmungund."
A being emerged from the curtain of darkness, completely blocking out the sunlight.

Herpo, seeing Asterion's gaze, looked at the Special Grade Cursed Spirit beside him and shook his head. Asterion hadn't found his tracks, but that of the Cursed Spirit. Which he hadn't really expected to happen, but seeing the Pentagrams in the fourteen-year-old's eyes, the Greek wizard's lips lifted in a smile.
Although he already knew the information, seeing it in person still made him want to laugh. He hadn't expected that the soul spell would actually work in Salazar's hands, but like any experiment, there was always a chance that it would be successful.
At the same time, he was immediately wary of Asterion, he knew a lot about how the Slytherin House Innate Technique worked, it was one of the innate techniques capable of destroying his Horcrux. And seeing the monster that could Adapt to any Innate Technique on the battlefield, the danger he was in right now was extremely great.
Suddenly, the sky darkened completely. Herpo looked up and an ear-to-ear grin appeared on his face, he spread his arms and enjoyed the sight of the gigantic serpent emerging from the curtain of darkness. "Corvinus, your descendant is really impressive!"
A gigantic golden serpent covered the sky of the Iberian peninsula, its body reaching an unbelievable tens of kilometers in length. The serpent's eyes were a deep shade of red as its body moved slowly across the sky, as if it were a pillar supporting the sky itself.
A feeling of oppression made everyone below Special Grade kneel down without any surprise, even Special Grades on the spot felt that the air seemed denser, making it a little more difficult to move around.
Herpo and the Cursed Spirit who was the target of the pressure experienced this feeling even more, it was as if the air itself had become liquid and viscous, even performing magic became a more complicated task.
"Look what you've done, you've made him angry." Herpo commented with a smile on his lips, his brown eyes looking at the gigantic golden serpent with a glittering gaze.
The Cursed Spirit looked at Herpo with a cold gaze and surprisingly, opened its mouth and spoke. "Who cares if he's angry, he's our enemy." His voice was hoarse and cold, there was no emotion or warmth in his tone.
"Attacking a calm enemy and attacking an enemy full of rage are two completely different things. Hatred often brings a certain increase in the level of power." Herpo replied looking at the Cursed Spirit with an amused look, it was a Cursed Spirit that had formed on a mountain top after a meteor hit it.
Humans witnessed the destruction and thinking it was the power of a god, they erected a shrine to worship it, but it wasn't a god that had been created, but a Cursed Spirit.
Perhaps because it had such an unusual birth, the Cursed Spirit called Oyama could speak and even think like a human. It wasn't the first time Herpo had seen a Cursed Spirit speak, but it was the first time he had seen a Cursed Spirit think logically like a human.
After hearing Herpo's words, the Cursed Spirit seemed to ponder and nodded. "As you said, better to fight a calm enemy than an angry one."
"Are you finished talking, you disgusting insects?" Hearing the words above him, Herpo flashed an amused smile and raised his head, watching Asterion above him with his black armor and crimson cloak over his shoulders.
"It's been a while, Asterion, or should I call you Lord Black?" Herpo didn't mind the childish teasing. He needed a lot more to make him angry.
"Lord Black to you, we're not as friendly as you might think." Asterion replied with a disgusted expression. "Besides, I'd rather not associate with a necrophiliac, it'll tarnish my reputation for all eternity."
The smile on Herpo's face visually contorted, a rigid look appearing on his face. He really didn't like people with sharp tongues, especially not Asterion, the boy really knew how to make him angry with just a few words.
"By Zeus, I really want to sew your mouth shut, maybe then peace would reign in the world once again." Herpo commented with a gentle look, but his gaze was so cold it could freeze the world.
"Just you? A worm that hides in holes? You should go back to the hole you came out of and contemplate your own insignificance, maybe you'll finally kill yourself after seeing how ugly you are." Asterion's lips curved into a cold smile and he replied in a voice devoid of warmth.
"I really want to kill you, boy." Herpo said with a calm tone, but his voice was so inexpressive that it gave Oyama next to him goosebumps.
