29 Heavenly lightning of death

"Did you think we'd just stand back and watch while you stole the goddess from under us?"

"Yeah, I thought you were going to clap and even give me an award for doing so."

"Very funny. In that case please try again. We'd like to clap for you."

Smirking as he looked at all the cultivators grinning and readying their guns to fire as soon as he moved away from the wall he was hiding behind, Axel saw that Meili had a nervous and slightly scared expression.

"Do you have any idea on what to do now? We can't just die after coming until here."

Looking at the coffin which was less than an arm's length away from him, Axel truly had thoughts of jumping and pushing the lid open.

However, given that the Goddess didn't seem keen on seeing him first, it was very possible that she'd just look at one of the cultivators here to kill them and then help them in getting rid of him.

"We can't stay here for too long. The more time we wait, the more cultivators will be gathered here."

"You should listen to the female rat. We've already killed a few thousand like you who tried to steal out Goddess. You should just feel proud from coming this far and die at peace."

"Yes. I can even help put in a good word for you in the underworld after you die."

Rolling his eyes as the Goddess was trying to tempt him with her sweet and seductive voice, Axel said, "My mythology isn't the Egyptian one, so there will be no use in you putting a good word for me."

"I can do it for the woman beside you. Should you as an honourable man sacrifice your life for the week being of a woman?"

Rolling his eyes once again, Axel said, "Your senses seem to be very week despite having woken up, so I'll just tell you that she doesn't belong to the Egyptian mythology either."

Not saying anything else from inside the coffin, the Goddess decided to just wait and let the cultivators deal with them.

She could then take her time in choosing whom she wants to open the coffin lid.

Someone really young, strong, and handsome belonging to the Egyptian mythology would be perfect.

"What should we do now, Axel?"

Turning nervous with every passing moment, Meili began questioning herself of the 10 million she took would be the death of her.

"Sigh.... I didn't want to use this spell so soon but I guess I have no other choice. Sorry Goddess, but nothing on this island will exist after I'm finished."

Apologizing to the Goddess who just woke up in advance, Axel closed his eyes and pressed the palm of his right land against the floor.

As soon as he did so, his mind started focusing on what he wanted to do which caused a symbol in the middle of his palm to light up and start shining in golden colour.

Looking similar to lightning, the golden symbol suddenly sent out a small shockwave of the same colour which travelled just as far an Axel wanted it to.

Stopping after it covered him, Meili and the coffin, Axel after thinking one more time to decide if this was the only option he had left, began reciting the spell without hesitating any longer.

"Heavenly Thunder rumble...."

"Heavenly Lightning strike..."

"Leave no flesh unburnt and no bone unscorched... As a harbinger of death vanquish...."

Continuing to read the spell he was given by Freya to protect himself one time when surrounded by many enemies, Axel made the symbol in his palm shine more and more brightly while emitting spark of lightning as well.

The longe the continued chanting his spell, the more uneasy the cultivators outside were feeling.

Even though they couldn't hear the chant, just the way the air was trembling while dark cloud quickly banded together above the island was enough to know that something very bad was going to happen in the future.

"What are you doing.??... Stop! Stop right now or we'll shoot!"

Still afraid to enter the birth house, the cultivator who was in the lead tried to make Axel stop with just his threats.

"Don't just stand there idiots! Come stop him!! Quickly!!!"

Screaming as the Goddess who was slowly regaining all her past memories and knowledge remembered what the spell Axel was chanting was, she hoped that those idiots wouldn't continue standing outside and stop Axel before it was too late.

Unfortunately, they still didn't dare enter the birth house due to being afraid of dying from a surprise attack giving Axel the time to finish his spell.

"It's over.... "

As the Goddess sighed in resignation and defeat, Axel had a bright smile on his face.

He was always afraid that despite possessing this very strong one time use spell, he'd never be able to use it due to how long it took to chant and power it up.

Luckily, now that he managed to do so, Axel wanted to see how powerful it would be.

After all, it was a spell given by the War God Freya herself.

"Come!! Strike down with all your might and incinerate my foes! Heavenly lightning of death!!!"

As soon as Axel finished speaking, the lightning symbol in the centre of his palms shined more brightly than ever before and let our one more shockwave.

This time the previously formed ring turned into a small dome to protect everyone inside it while the clouds above the island suddenly rumbled very loudly to show off their might.
