BXBX NOVEL Chapter 148: Xaru-2
The Xaru was slightly affected by the high pitched music, thats why it hasn\'t attacked Lucian again yet, but it quickly got used to the loud music within a few seconds.
\' Poor 1st Xaru, you should have stayed at the back. \' Lucian thought, and before their final collision he gave a command:
" ECHO EXPLODE. "
(Understood)
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
In the next moment, before Lucian and the 1st Xaru could even come in contact, the room exploded as the fire wildly charged all over and a great pressure was released.
While Lucian was running he was holding the sword horizontally with the tip of the sword pointing towards the chest of the small creature, and as soon as the room exploded both the Xaru and Lucian were pushed out of the room with a great force.
The Xaru was taken by surprise and it wasn\'t able to do anything since it all happened so fast.
Lucian collided with the Xaru and since his body was still engulfed by the flames so the fire from behind and the Xaru in front both had slowed down as they both flew out of the window.
The explosion was so loud and big that it shook the entire building, breaking all its glasses. Lucian had acquired quite a lot of bombs from Peter after he became a high rank officer.
And these were the bombs that Lucian used to kill all those criminals in front of everyone, but he still had a couple of them stored in Zero\'s storage which could be controlled through Echo.
*CRIEEEEK*
The 1st Xaru released a painful scream, the sword had pierced its body but since the body structure of the Xaru is completely different so Lucian failed to hit the vitals, so it didn\'t die immediately.
Lucian\'s back was burnt slightly even after the usage of the Fire of Corruption, he unconsciously held onto the Xaru, holding both its arms tightly.
All the other Xaru who were roaming around his room were also thrown away, and top of the building, Scarlett who was busy figuring against dozens of Xaru, suddenly trembled as she remembered about Lucian.
She could have killed these Xaru easily but they have the ability to camouflage and very high speed of flying which made it difficult for her to kill them.
" I have to go protect him. " Scarlett mumbled, as she gritted her teeth and ignoring all the Xarus around her, she rushed towards the boundary of the terrace on the side of Lucian\'s room\'s window.
" H- How is there such a big explosion? " Scarlett was shocked as she looked at all the fire coming out of Lucian\'s room.
Even though these creatures seemed to possess various abilities but she didn\'t think they would have such a strong explosive power.
Amongst all that fire she was not able to see the figure of a Xaru and human as they flew away from the building at an incredible speed.
Without a thought she jumped down towards his room, hoping that he would be fine but as she arrived close to the window Scarlett noticed that the entire room was engulfed by flames and nothing was intact inside.
" M- Maybe he escaped before it begun. " She hoped, her heart felt heavy and shook, she had to protect him and she had failed to complete her duties, as she remembered Lucian\'s face Scarlett felt a tearing pain in her head and chest.
She rushed into the burning room and used the metals to keep the flames away, the door of the room was broken so she went inside the building and began to kill any Xaru mercilessly that she came across.
Some distance away from the building, Lucian came back to his senses earlier than the Xaru.
He had survived the blast with some injuries but as he looked above he clicked his tongue since this Xaru was still not dead yet, they were still at a great height and if he fell from here he would obviously die.
Normally, since the Xaru was in contact with the black flames so it should have slowed down in the air but since Lucian was pulling it downwards with his body weight so they were both falling down.
\' Damn protagonist, as soon as he appeared I am going through all this shit. \' Lucian thought feeling angry and irritated, then he pulled both the hands of the Xaru with all his strength and climbed on top of the creature, as he held onto it tightly.
All this time, Zero had been trying her best to find some kind of weakness of the Xaru she went through the past and future and in one of the scene she was finally able to find something valuable.
" Ah shit, this Xaru is about to wake up. " Lucian spoke as he sensed the creature below him, slowly getting relaxed, the Fire of Corruption was making it slower.
As soon the Xaru wakes up Lucian would be in great trouble, moving one of his hand he reached towards and held the hilt of the sword, then he pulled it down and out of the body of the Xaru.
*CRIEEEEEEK*
Because of the pain, the Xaru finally came back to its senses and began to flip its wings continuously though it was slower than usual, but the speed of their falling was slowly reduced, the blood was constantly gushing out of the deep wound on Xaru\'s body.
[ I finally found their weakness, on the back of their head and close to their neck, they have four small ears that looks like small antennas.
That is their weakness though it won\'t kill them but they will feel a similar pain as when a man is kicked in the crotch or worse. ]
As soon as Lucian read that, he looked around and saw that they were not too far above the ground and if he fell from this distance he will mostly be fine.
Raising the sword, Lucian focussed his gaze on the four small ears of the Xaru, then he swung the sword and cut off all four of the ears at the same time, and removed the black flames.
*EEEEIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKK*
A loud pain filled beastly scream was heard, as the entire body of the Xaru began to shook violently and it threw out blood from its mouth and even its wings stopped flipping.
Both of them fell down with a loud thud, Lucian didn\'t receive any injury because of the fall since the Xaru had acted like a cushion for him though his entire body was still in great pain.
" Why won\'t this thing die? "
Lucian spoke as he looked at the Xaru which was still twitching and rolling on the ground, instead of finishing it he moved away from the creature, holding onto his sword.
