Endless Vertex Chapter 28

Charles roared as he stomped towards Atlas, his menacing muscles bulging from thrusting the enormous axe . He illuminated in white, bright Aura, grass fluttering away from him, like the special effects of when a UFO lands in a movie .

[Oddly satisfying . ] Thought Atlas as he absorbed the rich Aura within the leaf . There were no leakage or whatever, entirely flowing into his meridian . The Third meridian . When he previously entered a state of ataraxy, it felt like filling a bottle with drops of water . However, it now feels like the water tap went berserk, overfilling it . The tiny spoon used to scoop out the barrier has now evolved into a massive bulldozer, ramming into the wall . Over and over again!

An itch in his brain irritated him . He sensed a flash in his eyes, and his Third Eye initiated automatically . Sharp steel soaked in cloudy Aura, frustration emitting from Charles, his beard swaying with every step . Uneasiness whacked Atlas in the head, the Spiritual Energy generated in his mind glimmered with fatigue . However, the pendant that never reacted after eating Nam's soul started to quiver, producing icy chills to gift him a brain freeze . But with pain, there was gain . His Spiritual Energy flared like an inferno, pumping in rushes of adrenaline to his physical body .

[Axonn . So this is what it feels like to be an Axonn . ]

Charles dug his feet into the earth, securing his stance before bashing the axe at Atlas like swinging a baseball bat . Coincidentally, the axe made contact with the pendant and sent Atlas soaring into the sky, unharmed from the strike .

Atlas felt the heftiness that accompanied him for 17 years loosen off . He caught the golden pendant mid air with one hand and the necklace chain with the other extremely fast and precisely . The moment his skin touched the cold, hard necklace chain, it magnified, increasing to 2 meters long . Instinctively, Atlas swung the chain towards Charles . It magically extended to about 2 chains, a length of 40 meters, covering the distance apart .

(In case you don't know, chain is a measuring unit of 20 . 1 meters)

Witnessing the necklace speeding towards him after its transformation, Charles heaved the axe up to his chest to defend . But like a limber snake, it tangled around the belly of the wooden handle, tightening with a loud clang . With a forceful yank, the axe came off his grip, smashing into the ground .

Despite the momentum from Charles attack, Atlas's body halted in an instant, the chains straining hard on his left hand . The weight of Kent axe prevented Atlas from soaring further away, but it left a burning sensation on his skin .

[What the frick! Is that like a weapon of Thor's? Stormbreaker? Is that you?] Those were Atlas's thoughts before he pummeled onto the grass field, dazed .

He sensed a jerk on his chain .

"What the?"

The chain started to shrink, causing Atlas to grass ski all the way, tasting soil . He booted off the ground to obtain balance while increasing speed, lilac purple energy surging in his left palm .

Manipulating Aura to concoct multiple claw like object, Charles pounced at Atlas, the claws leading ahead . Rapidly, their distance shortened .

"Taste my white stuff b*tch!" The lilac purple substance accumulated detonated from his palms, discharging a twisted frenzy ray of electrifying Aura . The Aura claws of Charles obliterated into the air, updating the cycle of Aura in the atmosphere . He stood no chance against the violent paroxysm of the charge beam as his flesh vanished from immediate contact with it, leaving no time for a muffled cry of agony to convey the despair and regret illustrated in Charles eyes .

Heavy void of silence was all that remained in the grass field . The moonlight faintly illumined the wreck, joining in with the street lamps .

"Purple?" Atlas gasped at the scene of an Axonn zapping into oblivion . "Well that's new . I'm glad it changed, because what I said was just purely wrong . "

Zzzzz . The pendant in his hand suddenly vibrated, buzzing into life . The gorgeous "秦"(Qin) symbol lit a scarlet red hue .

{Your parents are not ordinary Warriors kid . Axonns like that old guy would have been eliminated with just a glance!} A familiar, old voice sounded in his ears .

Atlas shifted his head, cautiously examining the surrounding .

{Really? You forgot about my existence in less than a week? Too engrossed with your girlfriend?} The voice joked Atlas once again . Atlas heard the source this time .

It came from the golden pendant in his hand . A distant yet very close voice .
