Galaxy's First Ruler

Chapter 69: Divine vs Mortal

The Bone Spear's tip shimmered in volcanic heat with Aldrich at the receiving end.

Aldrich saw the two Pegasusses coming down, giving the redness in their background a stark contrast. The winged creatures trotted around the two Bosses and kept nudging them from time to time. Historical documents stated that Goddess Athena had blessed the mythical hero and had given the means to tame the beast. How much truth these lines contained was yet to be seen.

Aldrich was about to take drastic measures when he realized a change in the situation, and a smile crept upon his face. The mocking face of the Red Bellerophon gained a slight frown, too. The face of the beauty in Blue was even uglier and there was only one outlet for her wrath.

BANG!!!

The Blue Bellerophon's foot crushed Boomie's chest and drops of blood got splashed everywhere. Fortunately, not a single drop could touch the Pegasus standing beside her. As her foot touched the ground, except for the spots of blood around her, there was no sign of the newly titled Baron.

A red sash came into existence a few hundred meters away from the Bosses. Its illusory nature painted a picture of a Blood-river, about to descend from heaven to the mortal realm. The sash fluttered and shook the surrounding space. Countless drops of blood came out of the ethereal river of Blood and gathered under it. An enormous drop of blood, having strange symbols, floated in midair before changing into the shape of a man.

Baron Bernard had successfully escaped from the grip of the Bosses.

The momentary failure in leveraging on Boomie's confinement had fumed the Red Bellerophon's emotions. White smoky fog sipped out of her mouth as her silver hair fluttered in the hot wind. The Blue Bellerophon eyed Boomie like it had a personal grudge with him and her emerald eyes gained a darker hue by seconds.

"Death it is."

"No Mercy."

The two Bellerophon muttered. The conviction in their voice made the winged creatures around them crazily flap their wings. Both Pegasusses took to the air, and the Bosses jumped on their backs. Aldrich sighed in relief as the Red Boss came towards him and the Blue one dashed towards Boomie. He just hoped for Boomie to hold his ground against Boss in heat until he took care of the things on his side.

Aldrich knew what riding a summoned creature meant. The spiked Stats of the Bosses, because of their Aroused state, again got a boost. The fact of a rider and its mount complementing each other in battles had always been clear. Aldrich saw Pegasus making a round turn in the air and came swooping down towards him. The Beauty and the Beast felt like a part of an angelic painting.

"Summon."

For the first time in a battle, Aldrich used his Summon Skill. The space rippled behind him and a massive portal opened up. Even before the summoned creature could come out, its authority enveloped the two other flying beasts. The Divine horses in midair shuddered as a towering beast came out of the portal.

NEIGHHHHHH!!!

Liath Macha, the King of Horses.

Pegasus was a Divine creature. It was the mythical beast who had accompanied the demigods for many centuries in conquering the dark forces of the world. In the end, it had marched towards the abode of the Gods and had been immortalized for generations to come.

Liath Macha was a mere mortal among its brethren. All its life, the creature had seen blood and gore. One couldn't count the times that it had to fight alongside its rider, just to survive. The Title it had was earned and not given. It was a beast who had died fighting for its master, its friend, and for itself.

The blood of a King coursed through Liath Macha's veins, and the pride in its eyes was unquestionable.

Even if the Pegasus was not of Rare Rank, how it would fare against Aldrich's summon was about to be revealed. Aldrich jumped on the beast's back and took out the Sword Splitter. The main reason to use the Summon Skill was the buff in his Stats during its usage. The Title Enemy of Crawlers was useless in the Boss's presence.

Red Bellerophon had an incomprehensible expression on its face. With its fiery red thighs wrapped around the Pegasus and the Bone Spear in its hand, the scene looked poetic and erotic beyond compare. And like salt on a cake, Aldrich and his mount stood on the ground below them in defiance.

Even after being looked down upon, both Aldrich's and Liath Macha's eyes didn't waver. The Pegasus came as a bullet was fired from the gun. Every flutter of its wings had boosted its speed even further. From afar, the Blue Bellerophon eyed the scene, still hovering in midair. Boomie had an even more incredible expression of awe written on his face.

A tsunami materialized behind the Red Bellerophon when the Pegasus was only a couple hundred meters away from Aldrich. The flutter of its silver hair resonated with the roiling waves. All things under the sky shook beneath the might of an ocean and the lava sizzled in futile resistance.

Aldrich felt like a hand, weighing tons of kilos, was pressing him down. The hooves of the beast under him had already made holes in the rocky plain. The Boss Crawler had shown its true colors and had used the Skill granted by a God himself.

FLOOD RIDER!!!

"Go."

Aldrich commanded through clenched teeth, and the mount's eyes became redder as it pulled out its hooves, defying the pressure. The summoned creature puffed out two heavy breaths of air and grunted in acceptance of the command.

As the beasts were about to collide, Aldrich waved his sword upwards, targeting the pressure itself.

MEGATON CRUSHER!!!

The ethereal ocean behind the Boss shattered like shards of a mirror and tiny drops of blood sipped out from the corner of Boss's mouth. But the Skill had already raised the momentum of the Pegasus to the most. A ball of hot air surrounded the winged creature as it came crashing like a meteorite on Aldrich and his mount.

BOOOOM!!!
