Chapter 559: The World Of His Mind Part Four

559. The World Of His Mind Part Four

Belphegor watched as the army of corruption bore down on him. Corrupted creatures by the thousands no, there were over ten thousand of them at the very least. They swarmed him, and the end of the world inched closer.

The wall of infinite corruption was slow. It barely ever moved, even if Belphegor refused to fight the corruption. If he just stood there and watched as the world was corrupted around him, maybe he could see the approach over time.

But as long as he fought back against the corrupted creatures forming in the second layer, the corruptions approach would stall. He could essentially stop the end of the world for just a little bit.

And yet, an army of corruption converged on him right now. Where did they come from? How did they get behind him?

There was only a single explanation Belphegor must have been sloppy.

When he charged back down to the second layer, he was so focused on returning to the end of the world, he must not have been as thorough in clearing the corruption as he thought. He had sent his army of [Gargoyles] out to deal with any residual corruption he missed. But he realized now that he didnt sense any of them any longer.

They had perished. And the corruption was allowed to fester and spread.

The corruption only bred corruption. The fact that a single Corrupted Hellspace managed to slip past him had brought forth this army, and now he had to face it all alone.

Alone? Wait wasnt there someone with him just a moment ago

And the Corrupted Hellspace screeched. It lashed out with a dozen tendrils as Corrupted Gargoyles, Corrupted Netherstones, and Corrupted Netherstructures swarmed around it. Belphegor snapped back into reality as he took a step back. He didnt budge any further, knowing that the end of the world would have consumed him.Findd new stories at wuxiahere.com

Instead, he just clapped his hands together as he yelled.

[Worldbreaker]!

And a shockwave exploded from where he stood. It ripped across the landscape, shredding the ground open. The Corrupted Hellspace reeled as its tendrils were obliterated from the blast. The nearby corrupted creatures were completely torn apart the corruption wreathing them peeling back and melting away like ice in a fiery explosion.

It shook the world. Even the wall of infinite corruption halted for just a single moment, before resuming its approach. The nearby bubbles of non-existence were knocked back, and the storm of the void was displaced ever-so-slightly

And Belphegor charged. He ran straight into the army of corruption as he bellowed a war cry. He had faced down many countless corrupted creatures before. A few thousand more was nothing to him. He raised his hands as the broken ground began to shift, and the rubble gave birth to his [Gargoyles].

I watched as Belphegor crashed into the Corrupted Hellspace. He roared, tearing through the regenerating layers of corruption protecting its core. It tried to throw him off, but he was like an unstoppable force. The two of them tumbled through the air as the ground continued to crumble.

[Gargoyles] emerged from the ground being created before my very eyes. These Primeval Demons were strong and sturdy. But against the swarm of corrupted creatures converging, they barely even put up a fight.

The [Gargoyles] were ripped apart like they were nothing. The moment they came to life, they were killed. They only served as a distraction. They were there so Belphegor could deal with the Corrupted Hellspace first.But even then, they werent very effective in serving their purpose.

I looked on as a dozen Corrupted Netherstructures hovered over Belphegors back. He didnt even glance at them he continued pummeling into the Corrupted Hellspace. However, they took notice of him, and they took action.

The Corrupted Netherstructures sent down tendrils of corruption. The attack struck Belphegor, grazing his skin. He winced, but he wasnt hurt. He finally raised his head, distracted for a moment. And that was when the Corrupted Hellspace moved. There was a ripple in space almost like a tear.

Huh.

I could not be harmed by the corruption? That wasnt right didnt that mean I was completely invulnerable to the attacks of corrupted creatures? I frowned, watching as Belphegor grabbed the Corrupted Hellspace by its tendrils, unaffected by the flakes of corruption digging deep into him.

No I could still be hurt by the corruption. As long as it was a physical attack or something else. But the corruption itself couldnt harm me if I took this Title. I would still be crushed by a single tendril swung down by the Corrupted Hellspace, but that blast of corruption that had enveloped me earlier wouldnt have hurt me. It would no longer corrupt me.

With this Title, I would be able to help out Belphegor. I might even get brand new Title Skills that could aid me against this corrupted army. There was almost no detraction to it. Well, none except for one very clear problem.

I closed my eyes, focusing on the Title once more. It was the exact same Title I currently had, but corrupted.

That was why I would be immune to the corruption. It wasnt because I had mastered my divinity, or I had fought off the corruption. It was because I, myself, would become corrupted.

It was a difficult decision to make. And each passing moment I remained here in [The World Of My Mind], I knew that the opportune moment for me to act would pass soon. When the other Corrupted Hellspaces make their appearance, I wouldnt be able to intervene any longer.

So, perhaps foolishly, I made my decision.

Title Lost!
