Chapter 181: Kogen’s Rising Fury

Chapter 181: Kogen’s Rising Fury

The final battle between Sasha and Kogen rages on as Kogen declares that he will lead humanity to greatness.

“I’m starting to think that you are delusional,” Sasha says coldly.

“You understand nothing!!” Kogen yells. “I will evolve humanity!! I am a god!!!”

Before either of them makes a move, someone enters the battlefield. Everyone turns their attention to the person, a badly injured Goro.

“He is still alive!?” Joe exclaims.

“Master Kogen…” Goro utters between heavy breaths, “I’m here to help…”

Kogen raises a scaly eyebrow, replying coldly, “No.”

Through heavy breaths, Goro pleads. “What? But Master Kogen, I have pledged my life to you!”

“You did, but you also failed to stop any of these intruders, and besides, you look like you are about to fall over dead anyway.”

“Please! Let me help you!”

As Goro finishes his sentence, Kogen releases a small magic laser beam from his finger, and it pierces Goro’s heart.

“Gah!!” Goro groans just before falling over. “Why….?”

He dies within seconds.

Sasha glances at Goro’s dead body and then looks at Kogen. “Hmph. Killing your own ally that wants to come to your aid does not make you look cool by the way.”

“I didn’t say it did, but he was getting annoying.”

“And now you have no remaining subordinates left. Even if you won this battle, what would you do?”

“I would start over and find new subordinates! Do you think the ones I had here are the only people in this world that want to evolve humanity!!? Of course not!! Many out there would love to join the one who will become humanity’s new god!!!!”

His rage soaring, Kogen charges up more magic energy. “Bringing you and Zeth under my control will show both of the goddesses that I am to be taken seriously!!!”

Kogen starts to release blobs of magic energy in all directions. They all condense into red energy balls that float in the air. “Seek her out, my Magic Orbs!”

The orbs near Sasha start to launch toward her. She dives out of the way and starts running. “You’re still delusional but at least you’re trying a new tactic!”

She runs behind a wall. A few orbs collide with it and blow it up.

She thinks, “They explode upon contact, so as long as I put some cover between me and them, they won’t hit me!”

She keeps running, but when she gets near other orbs, they start chasing her too.

“Run all you like!” Kogen shouts with glee. “You can’t avoid all of them!”

Sasha rolls to the side, causing some of the orbs to hit and destroy each other.

“This is child’s play!” she says with a grin.

Sasha begins dashing toward Kogen, but the orbs near him start going after her.

“You can’t attack me and avoid the orbs at the same time!” Kogen shouts.

Sasha forms two mini Black Energy Balls, one in each hand, as she closes in. She smirks and leans to the side to expertly avoid a couple orbs without slowing down.

Kogen’s eyes widen as Sasha jumps, throwing one of the mini balls at his orbs. They explode and destroy them. At the same time, Sasha leaps over Kogen, slams her leg into the back of his head, and finally thrusts the remaining mini ball into his back, blasting him forward.

The scales on Kogen’s back have been completely blown off in the spot where Sasha’s blast hit.

Kogen grits his teeth as he turns around. “Enough!!!!”

Kogen releases many more magic orbs all toward Sasha.

“A pathetic attempt,” she notes.

She creates a patch of darkness on the floor. A giant demonic snake rises from it. The snake is mostly jet black with red glowing patterns on its scales. She hops on top of it. “Your attacks are nothing compared to my Hell Serpent!”

The snake tail whips the orbs, destroying them all in quick succession.

“Now, my Hell Serpent, go after that man!” Sasha commands as she points at Kogen. The snake hisses and focuses its gaze on Kogen.

“This new beast is quite impressive, but even it can’t stop me!!!” Kogen yells.

The snake slithers its body across the floor, easily pushing any debris out of the way, as it heads toward Kogen.

“You will be snake food!!” Sasha shouts with a predatory grin.

The snake lunges at Kogen but he jumps in the air to dodge. Sasha also jumps in the air, leading to them punching each other back and forth while in the air, but Sasha lands more hits than Kogen does. Still in the air, Sasha kicks Kogen into the remaining orbs around the area, causing them to explode. Kogen falls to the floor, having taken more damage.

Sasha lands and begins rushing toward Kogen as she shouts, “Your movements are becoming slower! You won’t last much longer!!”

“Nonsense!!!” Kogen roars.

Sasha closes in and throws a punch, smashing Kogen in the face. He holds his ground, retaliating with a punch of his own, landing a powerful blow in Sasha’s face. They start a round of rapid punches, each taking multiple hits from the other. As their punching duel progresses, the Hell Serpent slithers around, destroying the remaining orbs, and then turns its attention back to Kogen.

Sasha hits Kogen with a gut punch, stunning Kogen briefly with his mouth wide open.

“I said you would be snake food, so enjoy its stomach!!” Sasha yells as she kicks Kogen, sending him flying towards the snake. The snake opens its mouth wide in preparation to swallow Kogen.

“No!! I won’t!!” Kogen screams.

Kogen lands directly in the snake’s mouth, which swallows him whole. He slides into its acid-filled stomach.

“She thinks I will be defeated by being swallowed by her beast!? She can think again!!”

He starts screaming as he brings out all of his power. His orange aura blazes around him.

“I won’t lose!!!!!” he screams as his size dramatically increases, allowing him to easily rip the demonic snake open and rise out. The snake falls over and dies. Kogen’s aura is as powerful as ever as he reaches his max size, nearly the same height as the fortress itself before it was destroyed.

Sasha looks up at his face, gritting her teeth. “So, you were hiding more power…”

“Are you happy now!!?” Kogen roars. “I’m now willing to risk killing you to win this battle!!!”

No holding anything back.
