Galaxy's First Ruler

"BAN…I.. ..SH!"

Aldrich took a step and appeared under the Blood Devil. His hand looked small and feeble compared to the enormous chest as he touched it with his palm and tried to use the Skill.

But every syllable of the word shook his organs. Aldrich's throat felt dry and the tips of his fingers throbbed with pain. He put all his understanding into Banishing the Law, but it didn't seem to be enough.

BANG!!!

"Cough… !"

Aldrich's body got blasted dozens of meters away and he coughed out dark red blood. A shiver ran down his spine and his eyes, nose, and ears bled from the aftereffects. He got to know that his understanding, though not wrong, was not completely right either.

Unlike other Skills, failure in using Banish had serious consequences.

[WARNING]

[WARNING]

The Warning notification, with a red tinge, flashed in front of Aldrich's bloody eyes. He chanced upon the gobsmacked face of the Blue Bellerophon and saw the twitching Blood Devil with an immense struggle in its single eye.

[…

Warning: Dreamer HP has fallen to less than 10% of Max HP

Warning: The effectiveness of Health Potions would be 50%

…]

"Fuck!"

Aldrich took all Health Potions out of his Inventory and poured them into his mouth. He was barely able to stand up as his HP reached the 30% of Max value. The Blue armored Crawler was still rooted at its place as if she had come across a ghost.

Grrrr! Urghhhh!! Haaarghhh!!!

As Aldrich approached the Blood Devil grunting and howling in a strange voice, he heard the low mumbles of the Blue Bellerophon. She had her hand raised and her shaky finger pointed at him from afar.

"You… That… Law… Nodes… How… !"

Aldrich narrowed his eyes as something seemed to interfere with her voice and made it incomprehensible. He only caught on to the broken words here and there. But they were enough for him to know that it wasn't the first time for the mythical legend to come across such a Skill.

Aldrich dropped all Stamina Potions towards the transformed Boomie and saw him gulping them down. The Stamina Leech Skill was nothing but a cheat as it could take out the 100% effect of the potion. The Blood Devil stood up and towered in front of Aldrich. Its height was twice that of a normal person, and the madness in his eye had not lessened at all.

Aldrich and the Blood Devil looked at each other and he felt a little familiarity seeping out from the Devil. Even if Boomie hadn't completely gained his senses, the Blood Devil wasn't an unpredictable Beast anymore.

Crunchhh!!!

The Blood Devil grabbed the Golden Slave Collar around his neck and crushed it in pieces. But the Blue Crawler didn't care for it all. Its eyes were shaking in fear and with every passing second, an inhumane conviction came upon them.

"You… shouldn't exist."

Aldrich heard the Blue Bellerophon words as she looked at him. Strangely enough, he also wanted to shout out the same words at her. The anger from moments ago hadn't subsided yet. Before he could retaliate, the Blood Devil took a step and let out a crazed roar.

ROARRRR!!!

"AAAAHHHHHH!"

The Boss Crawler let out a scream in response at the same time and Aldrich saw her skin falling off. The Blue Bellerophon's eyes burst out in a shower of blood and the beauty that could topple mountains decayed as a dead body in minutes. Contrary to her rotten appearance, Aldrich saw her HP rising to thrice of her maximum limit.

The Hero of myth had seemed to sacrifice her soul.

SOULLESS HERO!

"And… You should have never existed!"

A whisper echoed in Blue Bellerophon's ears, and the eyeless Crawler shuddered in terror of not sensing its nemesis any longer in front of her. Aldrich grabbed her by the hair and threw her in the air.

Houuuu!!!

A foul wind swished around the Boss as the Sky got replaced by a blood redness. The Blood Devil appeared like a gust of wind and grabbed her ankles.

Boom!!!

The Devil smashed her on the ground and as the Bellerophon coughed out blood, rebounding from the impact, Aldrich grabbed her ankles again.

Boom! Booom!! BOOM!!! …

The pair of angered Scholar and the Devil repeated the cycles countless times. Before the Boss could make any sense of what was happening, it was already buried deep in the earth.

The air rippled miles high in the Sky as two blurry figures appeared there. Aldrich's eyes met that of Blood Devil's for a second. He put his feet on the wide red chest and looked at the Bellerophon directly under them.

"Change. Target Lock!"

[…

Agility: 169 (+90 +39)

…]

BANG!!!

Aldrich put strength in his legs and with a tremendous bang blasted himself towards the ground. The Blood Devil's chest couldn't bear the recoil and burst out in a mist of blood. But there was no pain in its eye, only hate and more hate.

"KNEEL!"

For the first time, a humane voice came out of its mouth as a golden mark flashed on its hand. The target of this Rumok wasn't anyone else but Aldrich. Tons of pressure squeezed Aldrich's muscle and sped him up towards the ground. The air friction made his skin become red hot, but it still wasn't enough for him. Aldrich struggled to stretch out his hand towards the earth and jerked it backward.

"PULL!"

Soooshhhh!!!

A Red Comet seemed to divide the entire Sky and the Dungeon in half.

Aldrich's eyes shined with a deep emerald glow as he was about to impact the Blue Crawler. He brought down the razing fist like a judgment on the rotten beauty, as a word came out of his mouth.

"Change."

[…

Strength: 130 (+90)

…]

BOOOOOM!!!

...

*

A dense eerie silence greeted the world after the deafening sound that felt like an eruption. Volcanic clouds full of dust and ash rose from at least a 100-meter deep crater in the middle of the rocky plain.

One could only see a blurry silhouette of a man at the crater's edge, dragging out a female's body with his hand wrapped around her face like holding a ball.
