The battle had intensified a lot since Hinata woke up, I didn’t expect his power to be so troublesome, but at the same time it wasn’t the kind of power he could use as freely as he tried to seem.
After losing some fragments of his body when I devoured some of his clubs, he put his entire body back together leaving only weaker versions of him, it took me hours fighting these weaker versions stealing his energy while keeping Hinata who is still weakened aside.
The combat was intense and I was injured many times, nothing that couldn’t be healed, but it couldn’t last forever.
"(I need to force him into more direct combat, but how?)" (I)
"ENOUGH WITH THIS GAME!! YOU DIE NOW!!!!" (Fragment)
"< Mirror Summon: Collector of Worlds >" (Fragment)
He used two different types of Summons along with 2 Essences just to summon 1 creature or that’s what I thought, but what he summoned was not a creature, it was a scythe that emanates the power of Hell.
"(Seriously!!!???)" (I)
The scythe itself was nothing surprising, a wooden handle that looks like an almost completely straight and dry tree branch with a curved metal blade attached to the side, an old metal blade, with red stains and imperfections in the edge of the blade.
If you count appearance alone, then it would be like an old farmer’s scythe that has been wielded for decades and is now at the end of its usefulness.
But of course its mediocre appearance is simple was just to deceive, just seeing that thing left me momentarily paralyzed, an endless murderous intent and evil power of death than I have ever felt outside of hell, I feel like I am once again in that desert of hellish death.
"(I can’t let him have that!)" (I)
I tried to move forward faster to grab the scythe, to my surprise he did nothing to stop me and when my hand went through the handle of the scythe like it wasn’t real, I knew why he didn’t worry.
"You know, this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this scythe... but it’s the first time I’ve summoned this Weapon... fascinating..." (Fragment)
He holds the handle of the scythe and countless mirror fragments from the surroundings were pulled in, attaching themselves to the surface of the scythe as the power of death formed a tornado around him.
I didn’t dare to come close now, that scythe looks dangerous but it’s incomplete as if he only summoned a part and used that part to create this complete illusion.
"(It’s not a simple illusion, I can feel real danger from this thing.)" (I)
"This scythe was once used to cut the world I lived on, I still remember how just one swing split the entire planet in half and how all life was washed away from the rest of the world until nothing was left..." (Fragment)
As he spoke the scythe was completed, its simple form gave way to something exaggeratedly extravagant, the handle seemed to be made of crystal mirroring everything around it while the blade seemed to be made of fragments of mirror annulled forming teeth, it looked more like a work of strange art than than a gun, but the feeling of danger was still there.
"Now you fall and then the power of Tharyn’s life will be mine!" (Fragment)
"(Hinata, hide in my shadow and don’t do anything until I give the signal.)" (I)
"(Yes...)" (Hinata)
I was mentally tired and spiritually exhausted, my body had several injuries and yet I remained in front of him, my greater Dragon form from his transformed body didn’t mean much with that scythe in his hands as he advanced.
All his copies broke, he seemed to be coming after me on his own or so I thought until the mirror fragments left by his copies created illusions everywhere.
"Die!!" (Fragment)
"< Sacred Eclipse Magic: Stellar Flux >" (I)
Everything around me seemed covered in fog, flashes of light caught my attention from different directions while traces of Auras and silhouettes seemed to be everywhere, my senses seemed to no longer be able to differentiate what was right or left.
Suddenly I feel scared and dodge to the side, but I still lost a part of my wing when the Scythe passed by, I tried to hold on to it, but a wave of energy pushed my hand away as I felt the Vitality wither inside me.
With the movement of my two arms, all my essentials come together in a river of stars that flows between my claws before heading towards the scythe.
"(Hinata, now!)" (I)
"< Void Authority >" (Hinata)
When the river of stars formed a flow where each star had great destructive power, but the scythe seemed to be able to break my attack simply by hitting it.
But thanks to that I managed to divert his attention and Hinata used her Authority on Tarzor’s power flow, immediately it caused a tremor that made the entire space around me crack and break leaving just the two of us, the fog and mirrors had disappeared.
"(Now it’s just going to be you and me.)" (I)
The only inconvenience was the pressure of Tarzor’s presence on top of us for a few seconds, but when everything returned to normal Hinata was already asleep, he was more strongly impacted by Tarzor’s rejection, but thanks to her I was able to equalize the field of battle once again.
"(This can’t last any longer, I don’t know how long I can keep my ability active without absorbing Tharyn’s power, my exhaustion is also already affecting my consciousness.)" (I)
"You really are a nuisance, I’m going to really enjoy cutting you." (Fragment)
He runs towards me swinging the scythe and I do the same, for several minutes he swings the scythe thousands of times while I use my gauntlets to punch the sides of the scythe in my defense.
The fight was intense and I was cut another two times, the power of death was not only withering my body, but my own Vitality was disappearing as if it was being destroyed.
"< Divine Magic: Reflexive Attack >" (Fragment)
"< Step of Shadows >" (I)
Suddenly hundreds of mirrors appear around me, he hits the scythe on one of the mirrors causing several even bigger scythes to come out of the mirrors in the surroundings and come towards me, but when he got to where I was before, he had already fallen into my shadow and was coming out of his shadow.
"< Holy Magic: Eclipse of the End >" (I)
Using both gauntlets to cast this magic, I create a sphere with the appearance of an Eclipse around the enemy, while my claws penetrate the sphere, making the gauntlets transform into pure energy, the Eclipse absorbs my Divine Weapon and my Aura as well as my Authority becoming pay.
In giving him the opportunity to do anything, his body was already burning completely in Starfire, one of my claws, now without the gauntlets, penetrates his head while the other claw went through his chest, I could feel his power destroying my hands, but at the same time At the same time I managed to contaminate him with my power.
"< Chaos Devouring Tree: Sprout >" (I)
Using my Essences to plant a seed inside him I make that seed sprout immediately, then branches, twigs and vines began to destroy his body from the inside out, using my tail I cut off the hand that was holding the scythe that is now floating not far away.
I was once again wasting every trace of energy I had, this was a great opportunity, I didn’t use this skill either time waiting for exactly the moment I could catch him off guard.
"This is the end of you." (I)
He was already receiving 2 deadly attacks, the Star Fig created by the Eclipse was devastating his body from the outside in, meanwhile the Chaos Devouring Tree was destroying everything from the inside out, but I didn’t want to give room for error and so without wait I open my jaws and bite his head before I start ripping his head off.
I was eating his body part by part, to do this I had to stop holding back Tharyn’s power and let it sink into my body, so I continued devouring his body covered in vegetation and Starfire until there was nothing left, in the end the Eclipse falls apart as my Divine Weapon returns to my hands as I revert to my human form.
In the middle of a devastated area, only I was standing and my consciousness was blinking a lot now, just standing was almost impossible, this time I really hurt my Soul by sleeping through such abusive use of my Essences without using the Divine Incarnation. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Not to mention that now I had 3 Divine level powers colliding inside my stomach and a system bell warning me of the pain that will soon follow.
Ding!
I could still feel the Soul of these 3 fighting inside me, it seems like this idiot still had the Soul of Sabhat inside him, his Souls are trying to fight for control of me, but of course it didn’t work, in fact they were pulled by 3 tentacles of Sabhat Anomalous energy when they were taken into my Blood Core.
"(I’ll take this... it will be very nutritious for my girl...)" (Callidora)
Ding!
