Chapter 245: Last Man Standing

'Is this how the battle between the Aesir gods looks like?' He gawked in awe.

Eclipse was even more afraid of Ryan. How strong was that damn Nergal? Even under the combined attacks of Helos and Ashur, he was still able to fight equally with them.

Ten seconds later, the three of them collided and landed on the floor. Ryan's clothes were tattered and there were quite a lot of scratches on his body. But it was unexpected that Helos and Ashur suffered way more serious injuries!

Helos' blonde hair was messy, his once straight and silky hair now looked disheveled. Bloods seemed to pour out of the corner of his mouth and there was only a string of fabric left covering his upper body.

Ashur's condition was not much different. They both gasped while staring at Ryan.

Ryan looked at both of them. The longer he fought, the more his inner strength flowed and helped him forget the pain. His mind seemed to only know three words— kill, kill and kill!

Helos and Ashur shuddered when they saw Ryan's expressionless face.

Previously, Nergal struggled to fight the two of them altogether. But ever since that strange burst of energy, his combat power and fighting style drastically changed. What the heck actually happened to him?

Ryan's red eyes gave off a strange light. After that, his body turned into a wisp of smoke and charged forward.

Helos and Ashur put on their stance and welcomed Nergal's attack. The three of them fought fiercely and now Ryan's attack had succeeded in pushing them down.

After a series of attacks, Ashur's two hands formed symbols. Suddenly, a golden colored energy shot towards Ryan. Helos also did the same, coating his fists with full force until they glowed.

Ryan raised both of his hands and spread his palms. The three inner forces met once again.

BANG!

Like a bomb exploding, both Helos and Ashur were blown away while bleeding profusely.

This time, the two of them were already terrified! What a scary internal energy!

Meanwhile, Ryan just stood there silently and felt his blood boil. It seemed like the mysterious power within his body was still flowing from his pores.

'Blood…. Blood…. Blood….! I want blood!'

Ryan knelt on one leg and shot out like an arrow. In an instant, he caught up with the bouncing Helos and Ashur.

Ashur managed  to dodge his attack, so Ryan's fist landed on the wall. Suddenly, the wall cracked and the cracks stretched out in all directions before making it collapse like sand.

Helos distanced himself as he watched Ashur being chased by Ryan to find a gap. However, Ryan suddenly spun around and kicked him at the speed of light!

Even though Helos used his arm as a shield, his whole body was floating!

The attack was truly terrifying.

The Eclipse was shocked at the scene before him. Was this the real power of Nergal? His opponents were not just anybody, they were one of the 12 Aesir Gods and a strong candidate named as the 13th Aesir. Even after he got battered, Nergal still had the strength and could beat them! It really didn't make any sense to him.

As he was already terrified, Eclipse suddenly felt the air around him was torn apart and something was slicing through it. Then shortly thereafter, a figure fell right in front of him.

He saw Ashur laying on the ground with his bleeding mouth while Helos' breath was short as he endured the injuries all over his body.

Then they both looked at Ryan who could still stand firmly. Horror and fear flashed through their eyes as they both had the same thing in their minds.

He's not human!

It sounded exaggerated, but it was the truth. Meanwhile, the Eclipse could only tremble when he heard Ryan's words.

"This is my full strength."

Ryan still stood at the same place, while Eclipse could only freeze from seeing Helos and Ashur getting injured.

Even though Ryan was fighting alone, he already had this battle under control.

Ryan's strength was still flowing strongly, even stronger than the previous one when he breathed the poisonous gas in a secret chamber. However, Ryan still remembered how dangerous it was to use this energy. If he was not careful, he would die.

Therefore, Ryan must finish this immediately!

Helos and Ashur stood again, and at this time, Ryan attacked them. As the man charged with swift and heavy attack, the two of them wouldn't last long.

"UHUK!"

Ashur was hit hard in the chest with Ryan's internal power lodged in his lungs and disrupted his internal power. Now his body became uncontrollable as he vomited fresh blood.

Helos was also not much different, he bounced because of Ryan's attack. But Ryan didn't just let him go, he immediately chased him in the air and beat him like a punching bag. Unable to endure at all, Helos took every single blow.

Helos was completely helpless, his wound was too serious. 

The two people known to be great and strong were nothing in front of Nergal!

Ashur coughed and said in a cold tone, "Looks like you deserve the name Nergal, but do you still think I can't beat you?"

Ryan looked at Ashur, whose eyes were still burning with a fighting spirit. Unexpectedly, Ashur took out a small glass bottle and threw it at Ryan. Then with his index finger, he shot out his inner energy. The bottle broke and hundreds of tiny poisonous insects immediately scattered.

"Cheap trick!"

Ryan waved his hand, his immense energy killing the insects in just one strike. When Ryan looked at Ashur, he realized that the number one fighter in Assyria had run to the window! 

Right, Ashur ran to the window and jumped out of this building.

Ryan was not surprised, after he realized from his daze, Ashur had disappeared from this place.

Pausing for a moment, Ryan looked at Helos. He saw the man from the same 12 Aesir Gods list as him gawking. Then without saying anything, he turned around and ran towards the same window!

The two people fled!

If people heard this story, they would laugh at Helos and Ashur very loudly.

However, due to his current condition, Ryan could not catch up. And after all, his real opponent was the Eclipse instead of Helos and Ashur. Now, his focus fell on the Eclipse, which was seen completely motionless.

Eclipse still didn't realize that Ryan was moving towards him, he was still surprised by the reactions of his two subordinates.

When he woke up from his daze, Ryan was close to him. Eclipse continued to step back until he tripped over a chair.

After he witnessed how terrifying Nergal was, he knew that he had no chance of winning.

Since the first time he rebelled, he thought he had known the figure of his master both in strength and character.  He had created various traps and tricks but it seemed they were all in vain.

"When you were my subordinate, you achieved many things for me," Ryan said in a low voice. "Now rest in hell."

"Ha ha ha." Eclipse laughed out loud. "You think you can kill me? I'm just one of the clones!"

Hearing this, Ryan frowned. He's not the real one?

The Eclipse was like a rat, he never showed his true self.

"Nergal, you won't be able to kill me!" Eclipse laughed.

Annoyed by the laughter, Ryan threw a punch to the Eclipse's chest. Now the laughter turned into a bloody cough.

"Even if I can't kill you, I will destroy all of your bases! Sooner or later, I will find the real you!" Ryan said.

Eclipse seemed to be grinning but in the end, his figure melted along with his blood.

Ryan killed the clone with one hit. Staring at that melting Eclipse, Ryan frowned. When would this cat and mouse game between them end?

Before long, that previously swiftly flowing energy suddenly subsided and a great pain began to take over.

Cold sweat started flowing profusely from his back. About 1 minute later, Ryan's body had formed a pool of sweat and the pain was getting worse.

He quickly took out a medicinal pill from his grandfather and swallowed it. He then closed his eyes and controlled his internal power. It took him a long time to relieve these symptoms.

"Huaaa!"

Ryan let out a long sigh of relief. The mysterious power within his body was like that of a fierce wild horse. Luckily, he had it under control because otherwise, the consequences were unimaginable.

At the same time, his army had eliminated the entire Eclipse's army and began securing the building.

On the other hand, the fight between Yodai and Father Raphael is over. Father Raphael smiled broadly when he saw Ashur fleeing the battle. After seeing the gap, Father Raphael followed him.

Blake saw his colleague running away and decided to follow him.
