NOVPUBOnly I stood facing Razor in this crumbling room, the silver figures around were flickering more and more intensely as if they would disappear at any moment.
"Master Phatos told us not to underestimate you, he prepared this entire place, gathered the three of us, and even chose the moment when you would be at your weakest." (Razor)
"It seems we still underestimated you." (Razor)
"It seems he is well informed about me." (Me)
"You have many enemies, from the moment you killed a Judge and used his Soul as material to power your Herald, you had already been condemned as a great sinner." (Razor)
"Shut your mouth and fight, why do all of you like to waste my time." (me)
"< Divine Summon: Eclipse Star Sword >" (me)
My Divine Weapon creates a magic circle where a crack forms, a sword comes out of the crack while the Divine Weapon disintegrates as it fuses with the sword that falls into my hands.
I don’t waste time with words, I don’t need to prove anything to this idiot who serves the God of Law, I don’t even care about Phatos other than him being an enemy.
I swing my sword towards Razor, with one swing the space was already shaking around him as if it were going to shatter even more.
"< Constrain >" (Razor)
Razor had a serious appearance as he moved his right hand, his Divine power formed an open golden scroll as he felt his will forming Runes written directly on that scroll as if it were an Imperial order or something similar.
The space around me became more condensed and heavy, my sword felt like it was traveling through the bottom of an ocean rather than through air, it even felt like there was a force trying to hold my sword.
"You still don’t get it!!?" (me)
Starfires surged from the sword burning brightly, the stars within glowed purple as silhouettes of shadowy creatures seemed to move within the fire, the sword that was previously becoming difficult to move once again became light as it slashed towards Razor.
I cut him in half, Starfire burning the cut before spreading through his body, but then I felt a bad premonition as I used my tail to strike behind my back.
"As expected of a Dragon." (Razor) 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"(So the fact that I’m a God doesn’t matter to you at all?)" (me)
I give a boost with my wings gaining distance and indeed Razor was behind me, so when I look at what I cut, there was a silver silhouette cut in half burning inside the Starfire.
"(I’m sure it was him I cut... replacement, maybe...?)" (me)
I looked only at him, clearly without a scratch, but as my presence was already searching this whole place and clearly there was one of the empty chairs where there was previously a silver silhouette.
"Do you think this trick will work against me?" (me)
"If it works once it will do, I’ve had enough time with this." (Razor)
"< Sword of National Law >" (Razor)
"< Living Tribunal >" (Razor)
Razor raises one of his arms and his crown floats out of his head, a blade emerges from the middle of the crown upwards while downwards the hilt of a sword emerges being grabbed by Razor, an extremely Authoritarian Aura emanates from this sword that uses the crown as part of the hilt.
But what made me cautious wasn’t Razor, it was seeing that all the silver silhouettes moved at the same time to the middle of the space where the 3 chairs of the Heralds that I destroyed used to be.
All the silhouettes merge into one that gains unique characteristics, a gray cloak and a silver eye.
He emanates a presence even greater than Razor who hands his sword to him while all his Divine Power is sucked into the sword.
Razor turns pale as his Aura becomes much weaker, even his silver wings lose their shine and he falls to the ground unable to float on his own.
The changes weren’t just in Razor, the space around us that had previously shattered begins to stabilize with the fragments floating in their respective places as if trying to assume the same appearance as before.
"Thank you for awakening me, Herald Razor."
"I leave this criminal in your hands, Tribunal." (Razor)
"< Divine Eclipse Magic: Unholy Dragon Seal >" (me)
"AAAHHHH!!!" (Razor)
I didn’t care about either of them, but I could feel the space starting to distort around Razor, he was clearly thinking of escaping now that he was weakened, but would I allow that?
Without his Divine power to counter me, a magic circle formed by my Divinity instantly forms above and below him, a red Dragon appears below him swallowing him completely before disappearing into the magic circle above, the Dragon’s tail pulls the magic circle from below to collide with the one above leaving only a miniature silver pyramid with a red crystal Dragon coiling around it.
"Release the Herald Razor, don’t add to your crimes!"
"You must be the Spirit of this Divine Weapon, right?" (me)
"I can feel the Divine Power of Phatos emanating from you, not as strong as I felt from him, but it is still his power and not from those weak Heralds." (me)
As I spoke, my Aura increased in power, my Divinity and Anomalous power merging with my feelings as they were pushed to the limit. I would no longer reserve any power. My instincts screamed that this was a powerful enemy and I would not underestimate him, even if I would still provoke and humiliate him as much as I could to vent my anger.
As I spoke, I also recovered the seal that contained Razor. Since the God of Law was so kind to present his Herald to me, it would be a shame to let him escape my clutches.
"You know, your Heralds, and even you, seem to not understand the key point of the Laws that you try so hard to impose on others." (me)
"As much as laws are useful and necessary for everyone to live in harmony in a society, laws need one thing to be followed." (me)
"Power! Be it the military power of a tyrant, the supreme power of a God, or the power of a people’s acceptance to follow such laws." (me)
"Without this ’power’ to protect the Laws, who would respect them? Who would follow them when the first obstacle appeared!?" (me)
"You dare try to teach laws to me who was created by the God who governs ALL LAWS!?"
"Of course you do, that’s because you think you can force your useless laws on me to accuse me of being a criminal." (me)
"But only the strong have the ability to judge others, dictating right and wrong regardless of justice!" (me)
"< Incarnation of the Unholy Eclipse >" (me)
I return to my Dragon form, the power of my Divinity and Anomalous power going to the limit as it completely merges with me being released.
My sword grew along with my body, the Star Fire burned and moved through the sword as if it were alive, even emanating its own Aura full of murderous intent.
But what surprised me was that all this space that shouldn’t be able to contain my large Dragon body expanded even faster as if forming a prison capable of containing me, even the Spirit of this Divine Weapon was growing along with the sword I held.
It was storing Power, I could feel the Divine Power constantly being stored in it and at the same time the presence of Phatos in his eye, he knew what was happening here, but I also knew that he was being restrained by Hernoth and couldn’t come here, much less manipulate this Divine Weapon on his own, and having to let it fight on its own.
I was prepared to fight this time, I was going all out to eradicate this Spirit from the Divine Weapon, wondering if the Divine Weapon itself would break without this Spirit and how enraged Phatos would be about it.
"< Book of Laws >"
"< Unholy Breath >" (me)
I concentrate my power in my jaws before releasing a Breath of Star Flames that forms a living Starfire Dragon and collides with a thick Silver Book whose pages seemed to be made of metal.
With the collision, hundreds of Divine Runes fly to the surroundings, but both my Starfire Dragon and the Silver Book do not move from their positions.
"Be judged!"
"< Judgement >"
"It will take more than that!!" (me)
The Runes that flew out of the book weighed like mountains coming towards me, but interrupting my breath attack, I swing my sword, cutting the Divine Runes that shattered on contact instead of being cut.
But I did not waste my time with these Divine Runes, I advanced towards the Spirit, my sword in hand and my wings propelling my advance.
The book, now that it was no longer being attacked, flew towards the hands of the Spirit who opened it in one hand while moving Razor’s sword towards me Divine Runes emerged from the book, fusing with the sword, increasing their power with each movement.
Each collision of the swords caused a ripple in space that made the entire place tremble. Some cracks even began to appear once again in space, and the scene of the fight between the two Gods could be seen through this crack in space when Phatos’ eyes locked on me, making my body tremble.
