NOVEL NEXT Chapter 86: The Tragedy of Nodria.
Killua's white silver hair flowed in the sky, his muscular yet lean frame, his white and blue Caftan, fusing with lightening. Made him look like the God of Thunder himself!
He lightly opened his arms by his side, like relishing in the sensation of the tingling thunder on his body. He grinned maliciously like he was about to play the funniest prank ever.
The Sunny day slowly darkened as Roars of Thunder invaded the ears of the whole residents!
Dark Blue Ominous Clouds loomed over the Whole Country!
Killua flew higher and higher, as blue thunderbolts kept flickering on and off!! His Blue Caftan moving like a cap in the wind. He sighed as he sent a look to the clouds!
Like a wavy sea, the sky raged like never before!
He played with the weather as he pleased, submitting all the sky to his will!
Like The Sovereign of the Clouds, he rose up, as the blue pupils in his eyes slowly transformed into two shinning thunderbolts! His naughty grin still on!
His smile continued to grow as his beautiful frame fused with the the Night Sky!
He took a deep breath, extended his arm like he was reaching for the void
Immediately The Sky growled like it was to implode from the sheer power invoked!
Darkening the sky of the whole Oriental Part of the Continent!!
All the citizen looking up felt like Heaven was about to unleash it's mighty punishment on Mortals!
The Sky seemed like it was breaking apart! As what resembled Giant Cracks appeared on It !!
And as if urged by a foreign force! The Cracks continued to grow, some even covered head as they though actual shards of the Heavens will fall off!!
The Sky was cracking up! Some couldn't even believe what they saw!!!
Finally, An Old Epic Roar resounded in the whole Continent, like the awakening of a Millennial Old Beast!
And on the clouds a Big Hole Appeared!
And from it descended a Binding Blue Thunderbolt, landing on Killua's hand!
Taking the shape of A GIGANTIC THUNDER SPEAR!!
Looking at the Spear, he smirked:
"Not Bad"
Suddenly the Century Old Roar resounded again!
As if answering it's Call!
THE Whole Sky, Parted!! Divided in two!
Like it was welcoming it's mighty God!!
And From it like The sovereign of the Sky.
In the form A GIGANTIC THUNDEROUS SHENLONG DRAGON, descended.
It's Shape was so big! So vehement! that it shaded the whole Atlaesian Empire!!
It's Roar fused with the Wrath of Thunder as it Pridefully Roamed the Sky of the Atleasian Empire, unbridled by the world!
The Lightening Dragon was so mighty, it will even make Yasrib shake with Fear!
Yet, the people of the Atleasian Empire didn't seem the least afraid!
No matter how terrifying this Dragon was, mysteriously…it didn't give them any sense of threat!
No, the opposite actually, it gave them a deep sense of security!
The Shenlong dragon whole body entwined as it enveloped Killua, before obediently landing behind his Frame, as he raised his Mighty Spear!
His smiled viciously, veins appearing around his tensed arm, he narrowed his eyes sensing the incoming strike, as he spoke arrogantly:
"Let's me show how we run a real show!"
With Colossal Strength, he threw the Spear!
Behind him, the Shenlong, bathing in it's own Thunder roared with all it's might!
It followed the Spear as the two slowly fused into one!!
The Shenlong advancing behind the Spear like A Planet Devouring Calamity!
It Opened it's Mighty Jaw as all the space trapped in it seemed to completely cease to exist!
Killua's strike was eating away at reality itself!!
It's speed even surpassing Aeleis's strike!!
Middle Region of the Astaroth Continent!
Great Empire of Nodria.
An Empire that prospered these last centuries.
It's people, Imperial Family, Generals and Nobles woke up today, like any day, thinking of attending to their everyday duties.
Yet, unknown to any of them.
The Eyes of the Whole Continent were on this Empire!
Why? Do you ask?
At Noon Time, when the sun reached it's Highest Peak.
The Whole Empire smelled a weird flowery sent.
It smelled heavenly, yet no one could actually feel any sense of ease from it.
At the same time, clouds seemed to gather, obscuring the sun, like an ominous presage. The Whole Nodria Impertial Capital was plunged in an abyss dark night.
All the men suddenly, stopped what they were doing, their heart at their throats.
Some were waking up their kids from bed. Some were playing cards games with their friends. Some young ones were tending to the Elderly.
Suddenly, lotus petals began to rain on the land, like a farewell rain.
At the same time, the sun completely disappeared, as small bolts of lightning began appearing on the new born cloudy sky.
All looked up, their basics instincts, in trance.
As bit by bit, they realized their inevitable fate.
The Fateful Lotus Rain.
The Horrific Blue Thunder.
Silence took over the whole Imperial City.
The cold sensation any human being in contact with looming death, had.
A Big Laugh was heard in the silence, a laugh with deep despair in it.
"HAHAHAHAHA"
It continued to grow as….
Suddenly A Monsturous Shenlong Lightening Dragon descended from the Cloudy Sky.
It was absurd.
Without any warning, any explanation…Today…
They were going to die.
Why?
What did they do?
Which God have they offended?
That, they will never know.
No…It will be better for them, to live in ignorance. Thinking that their death held any kind of profound meaning.
Than understanding, that they were simply the battlefield when two Empires decided to settle score.
The only reason they are going to die today, is because the two strikes will meet here.
That's all there is to it.
The Laugh suddenly mixed with wails, and tears. As the holder of the voice, spoke like he had the voice of the whole Empire:
"Please…Please.
"I don't want to die."
Meaningless Begging, was met with the Stone-cold truth.
Gigantic White Slashes that seemed to cut through the fabric of the world itself, appeared in front of the Imperial Capital.
He looked up in the sky, another female voice sounded.
"Please…My Daughter…Only my Daughter!"
On the Other side…
A Thunderous Roar was heard, a roar that seems to hold the meaning of the world in it.
The wailing continued to grow! Imploring the Gods to spare them!
"Mommy! Mommy! Is it because I ate too much yesterday?"
"Is it because of that the Gods are angry?!"
"Oh! Heavens we've been leaving in sin and luxury! Oh Heavens Please punish us!"
"NO! NO!! Please Spare me!"
The two strikes, advanced with cold indifference
The Thunder Shenlong looking at the Ominous White Slashes, like looking at Delicious Prey.
Without even acknowledging, the existence of others.
Gildarts once said:
"Do you check for Ants every time you make a step?"
The Same austere indifference was there.
It Roared as it clashed with the attack!!
A Grey light shined. The Last thing those people saw.
And After that…Apocalypse unraveled.
Destruction, pure unadulterated destruction, turning all the wailing, all the cries, all the century old civilization into ash.
THE Imperial City disappeared but clash was only at it's beginning as, like the plague, it grew and grew again… until it destroyed the whole Large Star-Size Great Empire…
More than Hundred Billions of Lives disappeared from existence.
The whole Empire whipped out clean.
Only Grey ash remained, as if the world has met it's bitter end.
Something was deeply hypnotic about this scene.
An unburdened land, released from the Trace of Men.
On the new born land, the Lotus Rain still persisted.
And it seemed, it will never end.
On the Sky, the dark clouds and the lightning bolts were also there forever.
In what would be Latter known in the Continent as the Tragedy of Nodria.
And recorded as the first clash between those two Super-Powers. The first of many more bloody scenes.
The Clash, already resulting in endless causalities, and the Annihilation of A Great Empire.
