BXBX NOVEL Chapter 160 The Battle for Perfection... Part-3
Chapter 160 The Battle for Perfection... Part-3
The cries of a newborn baby resounded throughout the Rex Mansion for the first time.
But with those cries of a new beginning, the cries of \'ending\' were also present.
\'hmm, what is this place… why are my eyes so blurry… is this my memory?\' (Link)
From the tear-filled and hazy eyes Link could vaguely see a woman caressing his forehead.
The woman had a gentle smile on her face as she caressed her child\'s face with love.
"I… don\'t seem to have much time… I feel weak… so just hear my last words…"
"Link…. No matter what you become, your mother will always be proud of you…."
"You see…. Several disasters are happening outside… your father is not here…"
"But I know… he will raise you properly…"
"Just keep in mind… your mother will always be proud of you, so don\'t use your talent to do bad things okay…"
"Make sure you protect your loved ones and…. And live a happy life… this is farewell I guess… hehe…"
In her final moments, Link\'s mother smiled at him and peacefully passed away with Link sleeping in her arms.
…
(In his sea of consciousness…)
\'Yes, I remember now… I have always questioned why I wanted to become strong…\' (Link)
\'I always wanted to know why I never had a mother…\' (Link)
\'I didn\'t like the heavens because they stole my mother from me…\' (Link)
A strange silence appeared in Link\'s consciousness before he finally understood everything.
\'Now I understand everything… it was the ploy of the heavens itself that were jealous of my existence from the start…\' (Link)
\'My mother\'s soul shattered from bearing the burden of giving birth to an extremely strong soul like me…\' (Link)
\'Ultimately, I was the reason she died…\' (Link)
\'But she was proud of my existence, and thus I shouldn\'t let her trust go to waste…\' (Link)
\'Now I know why I always wanted to be strong and reach the very heights of this world…\' (Link)
A ray of light appeared in the vast sea of consciousness.
\'If the heavens are denying my existence, then I will trample those heavens beneath my feet!\' (Link)
\'If the only way to protect my \'love\' is to trample upon the very fate of this world, then I will do that with a smile on my face…\' (Link)
Several more rays of light shined in the vast sea of consciousness.
\'I will make you proud mother!\' (Link)

…
Boss Area, the tomb of perfection.
"Link…" (Riya)
Riya stared at the face of the unconscious Link with tears in her eyes. She hadn\'t moved a single inch from her place since half an hour ago. (It has already been half an hour since Rio and others chased Rahab outside…)
Just when Riya was at her wit\'s end, suddenly a golden light started to cover Link\'s whole body.
Seeing this scene Riya was surprised, but Damian was still sober so he immediately understood what was going on.
"Riya! Get back!" (Damian)
In a mere millisecond, Damian cast a barrier and immediately carried Riya away from Link.
Just when the barrier was completed, A huge amount of mana suddenly rushed towards Link at an extremely fast speed.
"What!?" (Riya)
"There\'s no time to explain! Let\'s leave!" (Damian)
With a worried look on his face, Damian immediately jumped out of this place through the hole in the ceiling he immediately reinforced his barrier.
Seeing Damian rush out, Kira also carried Fade on her shoulder and cast the \'flight\' spell to leave this place immediately.
…
Boss area, the snowy mountaintop.
*Clink**clank*
[Elemental Sword Art: Wind type: Serpentine wind!]
Rio\'s sword slithered like a snake and attacked Rahab from various angles, and as if a serpent was coiling around him, Rahab had nowhere to dodge these consecutive attacks.
"Useless! Useless! The likes of you can\'t kill me, bahahaha!" (Rahab)
Rio\'s figure disappeared and reappeared again and again, each time his attacks were properly dodged by Rahab easily.
\'This guy is too fast, even if a fake one he still used to be an SS-ranker after, his body is extremely tough…\' (Rio)
\'I can\'t use my soul-splitting skill on him anymore, but they\'re still one way…\' (Rio)
While the other three were keeping Rahab busy with continuous attacks, Rio contemplated in his mind as he lurked around in his aura-less state.
(With his robe\'s help, Rio can enter this \'aura-less state\', the only reason why Rahab can dodge Rio\'s attacks despite not being able to sense him, is because his stats are too high and he can easily sense Rio\'s attacks with pure instinct…)
\'If somehow I immobilize him, then I can put my sword on his opened head and forcefully destroy his insides by overloading it with my \'sword intent\'…\' (Rio)
*Boom!*
While Rio was still contemplating in his mind, a loud noise resounded throughout the mountaintop.
Rio tilted his head and glanced back, he saw a huge tornado made up of pure mana raging nearby. It\'s center seems to lie in the room where the first saw Rahab.
Under the shadow robe, a smirk appeared on Rio\'s face.
\'Heh, what took you so long! Idiot!\' (Rio)
Rio had already guessed that only one person could have created this insanely huge mana tornado in this place.
\'he is breaking through to Rank A…\' (Rio)
Since this mana tornado was comparable to the one Rio had created earlier, Only Link could have created this huge mana tornado, no one else here was talented enough to compete with Rio like that.
\'Heh, you are still trying to compete with me, even when ascending…. This guy…\' (Rio)
Rio shook his head. He knew that Link was too competitive and proud of his achievements.
He must have wanted to make a bigger mana tornado than Rio, now he is trying to do exactly that.
Rio then glanced at Rahab and found that he was also staring at Link with great hatred in his eye. (He has only one eye left, Directly support the authors on WebNovel!
in fact, he only has half of his head left, and you could even see his brain twitching from time to time…)
\'I should keep this guy occupied, otherwise he will try to interfere with Link\'s ascension…\' (Rio)
Ellie, Liam, and Lia, all have the same thought in their mind too, they know that they must not let Rahab interfere with Link\'s ascension right now. And thus the intensity of the continuous attacks increased even more.
[Sword Intent!]
[Elemental Sword Art: Thunder Type: Horizontal shift!]
Rio\'s swung sword horizontally with condensed thunderbolts slithering all over his sword\'s body.
[Elemental Sword Art: Thunder Type: Polar Knockback!]
Rio knew that his first attack wouldn\'t work and thus he used the other one after his first was about to be dodged.
Just when Rahab was about to dodge Rio\'s attack, the condensed thunder flared up and shot at Rahab\'s body like a magnetic field that pushes the similar poles of two magnets away from each other.
The magnetic field created by Rio\'s thunder-covered sword pushed Rahab several meters back and proved its effectiveness.
\'This works…\' (Rio)
But obviously, this didn\'t affect Rahab\'s tough body in any way at all.
He stomped the ground and launched at Rio like a cannonball. His punch directly went through Rio\'s head in an instant.
\'He has started to become more chaotic since he lost half of his soul… this is the chance…\' (Rio)
With his mana detection, Rio already detected that the tornado behind had already come to an end and this was the moment to strike.
[Dao Rhythm!]
[Dragon Arts: Heaven\'s Befall!]
Link who was covered in golden light fell from the sky like a meteor and smashed the ground with great momentum. His attack was aimed at Rahab but it missed.
Rahab was too fast for Link, but even after the attack failed a smile appeared on Link\'s face. He jumped up like a spring and opened his arms wide.
"This is the end, demon!" (Link)
Link\'s previous attack caused the whole mountaintop to collapse and debris flew everywhere, this made Rahab\'s footing unstable and that was what Link was aiming for from the start.
He immediately wrapped his hand around Rahab and immobilized Rahab in his grasp.
Rahab tried to get Rid of Link\'s grasp but now that Link\'s whole body was covered in the golden aura of \'Dao Rhytm\' Link\'s defense was unbreakable, he didn\'t even budge from his spot.
And Rio didn\'t let this precious chance go to waste either.
Due to their mutual understanding, Link knew from the start that even with him becoming Rank A, he wouldn\'t be able to land a decisive blow on Rahab, thus he chose the best option.
And that option was to immobilize Rahab with his own body and let Rio deal the final blow.
(Even though Link was not sure, but he trusted the fact that Rio must have some way to deal with this demon... the mutual understanding between Rio and Link had already reached an amazing realm just from this level of trust...)
Rio\'s devilish whisper resounded in Rahab\'s ear in those crucial moments.
"Checkmate…" (Rio)
[Sword Intent: Overload!]
Rio\'s sword stabbed directly into Rahab\'s exposed brain and at Rio\'s command, his sword intent forcefully attacked Rahab at full capacity.
Without mana or defensive skills, it is near impossible to survive the crazy rush of \'sword intent\' into your most vulnerable organs, and thus Rahab who was at his wit\'s end was also helpless in those moments
*NOOOOOOO*
Rio\'s sword intent invaded Rahab\'s brain and it directly exploded into a meat paste, ending Rahab\'s life after a few seconds of struggle.
