Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Chapter 102 - Demon's Breath



Nero had countless abilities and skills, some even too overpowered to be uncontrollable by him. Whenever Nero defeated any ancient, mythical, or celestial beings, he forged them into weapons to make the best use out of them. 

By doing that, he could get the power of the weapons and learn their abilities. He learned new abilities and skills with various weapons, and his limitless mana and power enhanced more with them.

He had sealed his abilities and skill inside his weapons and bonded them with his cores and soul to nerf himself. Although he could use them whenever he wanted, it was the best solution for Nero to control his everlasting eternal power.

One of the weapons was Harpe. Harpe was his most used weapon because it was the weakest, and he could use it without any worry.

Nero raised Harpe in the air and muttered, "O Harpe, I release you and permit you to be beyond. So be my aid and lend me my powers."

The climate suddenly changed, and the clouds started rumbling as they covered the sky in the dark. 

Nero lowered his sword to stab it on the ground but stopped at his feet and gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

Clouds of red fire formed around Nero, and they started orbiting; they grew bigger and bigger and formed a fire whirlwind around Nero.

"More!"

A black fire formed with the red fire and joined the whirlwind. Then, a blue fire covered the whirlwind, and the entire three-colored whirlwind started aggravating.

It started expanding and covered the entire palace in it. The corpses and blood of the soldiers, the rock slabs of the wall and the statue, the trees, and weapons, everything in the path was pulled in the whirlwind.

Nero was standing in the middle of the whirlwind with his sword still an inch above the ground. Then, he plunged the sword into the ground, and that caused a massive explosion.

The whirlwind stopped expanding, but it didn\'t stop orbiting and pulling everything inside. 

Nero had all the affinity of all the elements, and he could control them at his will as long as his magic was active. And right now, the entire area was under his control.

He hadn\'t turned the area into his domain, but still, he could control the climate and storm the weather on his fingertips.

The soldiers were getting pulled in the whirlwind and instantly dying because of the force. Some were dying because the weapons inside the whirlwind were chopping their bodies into chunks. While, the others— who were protected by the magic barriers could freely dive into the whirlwind but couldn\'t survive the fire.

Getting caught into the whirlwind guaranteed death, and those who survived were pulled in by Nero.

The soldiers tried to hide and escape, but Nero moved his hand in the air and pulled everyone inside the whirlwind.

However, some soldiers survived even after getting in the grasp of the whirlwind, as it had stopped expanding. The dead bodies and other inanimate things kept getting into the whirlwind and made the fires more and more dormant.

Nero pulled out the sword from the ground and beckoned his hand in the air. The wind from the whirlwind pushed the soldiers close to Nero and Nero sliced them into pieces.

This continued for over thirty minutes, and Nero killed almost all the soldiers.

The whirlwind had gotten so huge after pulling everything that it could be easily seen from a distance. And those who saw it called it \'The Demon\'s Breath\'.

The carriage Emilia and Sophia were riding on was about ten minutes away from the palace. 

All the women and children that were taken hostages by the king had already traveled halfway since they were buffed by Nero.

Emilia poked her head out of the carriage and looked at the whirlwind:

"That is Nero\'s doing, right?"

The horses\' neighs got louder and louder as the distance between them and the palace decreased.

Sophia sighed and got off the carriage. Then, stopped the horses by pulling their reins and set one horse free.

Emilia jumped out of the carriage and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Can\'t you see? I am setting them free," Sophia replied as she freed the other horse.

"But why? I mean, we still have to travel and—"

"These horses are scared of going further. And they should be, because they will die if they get any closer." Sophia rubbed her hand on the horse and continued, "But they won\'t stop— even if they die, because Zeus ordered them to."

"Oh!" Emilia exclaimed. "I didn\'t know that."

"You were sleeping." Sophia patted then pushed the horses, and they ran in the opposite direction of the palace.

"What now?" Emilia looked in the direction of the palace and questioned, "What about us? Are we going there?"

"Zeus told us to wait at the dock, and the only way to reach here is to pass the palace. So yeah, we need to go."

"But the…" Emilia glanced at the whirlwind with a concerned look on her face.

"Are you worried about that?" Sophia asked.

Emilia quietly nodded.

Sophia chuckled at Emilia and said, "Don\'t worry about it. It won\'t hurt us. And besides, it will disappear by the time we reach there."

As they walked, Sophia suddenly cast a barrier around Emilia and herself.

"Huh?" Emilia looked at Sophia with a puzzled look on her face.

Sophia pointed her gaze at the whirlwind as it rose in the sky and smashed to the ground— causing a tremendous impact around the area.

The shockwave came and blew everything away from the area. With its force, the slabs of the wall were sent flying like pieces of paper.

Sophia nudged Emilia and said, "Told you it was going to disappear soon."

Nero grabbed the spear that fell from the sky and pierced it on the chest of the last standing soldier.

The whirlwind had destroyed half the outer palace. Nero glanced around and saw mashed corpses and broken weapons. 

Nero placed his hand on Harpe and absorbed it. He then stretched his hand and yawned after saying, "Now time for the main show."
