The void could no longer hold.
The mont the four Heavenly Kings clashed, reality split apart like glass cracking from the inside. There was no explosion, no sound, but the entire battlefield was forcibly torn open.
Layers of void ford one after another. If an S-rank battle could lead to the destruction of the capital, this battle could lead to the destruction of the entire country.
The power of Heavenly Kings was almost at the ceiling of the world. Anomalies like Demi Gods were extrely rare, and a very long ti had passed since the last ti they had participated in a battle.
Even the last ti they had made an official appearance was long ago. That was why Heavenly Kings were more or less officially recognized as the strongest powerhouses in the world.
And now a battle at this level was taking place.
Daniel stood facing Valkraz in one of the deep layers of the void.
Here... there was nothing. No light, no darkness, not even a sense of direction.
Only "nothing."
A place where Laws had not yet been fully written.
Valkraz calmly looked around, as if this space was familiar to him. Then his gaze locked onto Daniel. The sense of danger this kid gave off was much stronger than Schneitz.
For that reason, he decided to deal with this one himself.
He was also genuinely curious how this kid had suddenly gained the power of a Heavenly King, because from what he had seen of the battle earlier, this kid could barely fight against the two S-rank twins.
What was the source of his power? An item? If that was the case, he had to obtain that item.
"Tell , how did you manage to gain the power of a Heavenly King? Tell and I’ll let you live."
"First stay alive... then I’ll explain," Daniel slightly raised his sword, The Heaven’s Honor. An aura of lightning and death slowly coiled around the blade.
A very faint smile appeared on Valkraz’s lips, as if this kid needed to be taught so manners.
And then he moved.
The space around Daniel... began to go out. Part of his shoulder disappeared. It wasn’t cut, it wasn’t burned, it simply... no longer existed.
Daniel’s eyes narrowed for a mont.
"..."
This attack had no collision. It simply happened.
Valkraz said calmly:
[Void Law: Existential Fade]
And this ti, the entire space around Daniel began to fade. His mana went out, the flow of his lightning was cut off, and even his death aura trembled for a mont.
But at the sa mont, his body was covered in a gentle light.
Mana Healing.
The erased tissues reford under the pressure of energy.
Daniel took a step forward and disappeared without warning.
[Bloody Shadow Dance]
There were no shadows in this void, but the "nothing" itself beca a path for him. His presence beca unpredictable.
For the first ti, Valkraz raised an eyebrow slightly. Suddenly a blade of lightning and death descended from behind his head.
The Heaven’s Honor, with an aura of destruction and lightning, ca down toward his neck.
[Strike Of Destruction]
But the blade, before hitting, sank, not into the body but into the void.
Valkraz, without turning around, said:
[Void: Devouring Singularity]
A small black point ford in the path of the sword. It had no gravity, no understandable pull, but anything that ca close was swallowed.
Daniel’s blade sank halfway into it.
The destruction energy, the lightning, even the death aura were all pulled in.
Daniel imdiately pulled his hand back, but the energy he had lost was clearly felt.
Valkraz turned around calmly.
"Interesting." He took one step forward and space collapsed again.
"But you still don’t understand what you’re fighting against." Suddenly several layers of void fell on top of each other.
[Void: Layered Oblivion]
Each layer was a level of erasure.
In the first layer, mana went out. In the second, the body weakened. In the third... existence began to fade.
Daniel was forced to dodge for the first ti.
His body moved quickly through different phases. Lightning flowed through his muscles, but every ti he moved, one of the layers ca closer.
"...Damn it." He raised his hand.
[Demonic Twilight Shield]
A dark-red shield ford around him. When the first layer collided, it wasn’t just deflected, part of it was absorbed.
The raw void energy entered his body and imdiately rged with his death and lightning energy.
His eyes shone.
"So... it’s like this?" Daniel smiled.
And this ti he attacked. Without stopping, he raised his fist and slamd it down. Lightning, like a compressed explosion, gathered in his fist.
[Thunder Of Lost Dreams]
But this wasn’t just lightning. When the strike landed, the void around Valkraz trembled for a mont and sothing inside it cracked.
Nightmare.
Suppressed senses.
Sothing that even Valkraz couldn’t ignore for a mont. His eyes narrowed for the first ti.
"ntal attack?" He had never thought that after reaching his current level he would be hit by ntal attacks again.
His mind should have been immune to such attacks, but it seed he was wrong.
The strike hit and space broke, but his body wasn’t completely destroyed. Instead, part of it... faded for a mont and reford.
Valkraz didn’t retreat, but his gaze changed.
"Looks like I shouldn’t have underestimated you." He realized that his enemy, even if he was a kid, was not soone who could be underestimated.
Daniel took a deep breath. His body was still not completely stable. The energy inside him fluctuated, sotis too much, sotis too little.
But his control had gotten better. He raised his sword and this ti his eyes shone.
[Eyes Of Destruction]
Two beams of pure destruction shot straight toward Valkraz. They were not light, not energy, but "end."
Now that he could use this Law and at his current level he could easily use conceptual-level attacks.
These two beams alone were so powerful that if they hit the capital, nothing would remain of it.
Valkraz raised his hand.
[Void: Abyssal Sovereign Pressure]
A massive pressure, not just on space but on Daniel’s "will" itself, ca down.
The beams were deflected for a mont, but they weren’t completely stopped.
One of them passed by the side of his face and for the first ti created a scratch, not on the skin but on his "existence."
Valkraz slowly ran his hand over that spot and then frowned deeply. His face grew colder. Existential damage was extrely hard to heal.
Daniel breathed out and laughed. The more he used the power of a Heavenly King, the more addicted he beca to this power. He really felt like a god!
But he wasn’t stupid enough to fall into such an illusion. Sooner or later, even without using a skill, he would have the power of a Heavenly King.
[Everlasting Edge]
One strike.
But not an ordinary strike.
A blade that had no end.
Its movent didn’t stop.
Even when Valkraz tried to erase it, the blade... continued.
Space split, the void moved aside, and the strike hit. Valkraz’s body was pulled backward. A massive wound opened in the middle of his stomach.
Although there was no blood, the created gap healed, but Valkraz’s spirit beca unstable and it seed his light was dimming.
His eyes grew colder. He realized he had lost the upper hand in the battle and couldn’t let it continue like this
"Congratulations, you managed to make angry, and that won’t be good for you."
"You’re still under the illusion of victory?" Daniel lowered his sword and his gaze turned cold.
At the sa ti, he glanced at the remaining ti of [Transcendent Self].
[20:02]
Only twenty minutes left until the skill ended!
