"Third Cycle of Ember Rebirth... Ashening Spiral!"
At this mont, a circular wave exploded outward from Nyza’s chest, washing over Jacob like a tide of embers. It wasn’t a direct attack—it was erasure. The fla consud energy, not flesh.
Jacob’s defense flared under the onslaught of her strange law, starting to dim ever so slightly. Nonetheless, Jacob was solemn when he felt Nyza’s strange flas begin to affect even his soul force.
His eyes flickered as he tried to analyze this mysterious law, ’What a strange fla... it doesn’t aim to kill...it’s like it wants to cleanse...to return everything to ash and start anew...’
However, Nyza was even more shocked when she saw that Jacob remained standing despite the onslaught of the Ashening Spiral. Furthermore, Jacob clearly was not taking her seriously and seed to be ’comprehending’ her way of Fire Law.
At this mont, Jacob finally retaliated. A wave of crackling lightning surged in his palm, while on the other hand, a dense fla materialized. Under his will, both lightning and fire started to entwine together before condensing them into a lance of lightning fire. With explosive montum, he launched the terrifying law toward Nyza, breaking through the ash spiral.
BOOOOOM!
His strike landed, but instead of piercing, her body shattered into smoke, scattering like dust on the wind.
Only for her to reappear behind him, her body rebuilding from the sa smoke, embers glowing along her veins even brighter than before.
"What a strange creature you are...you have innate dual magic cores, you have also comprehended the Law of Void, and your fla inherently has the traces of destruction...and your lightning also has annihilation in it...Yet you seed to know nothing about how to utilize your gifts properly...what a waste." She whispered, voice both mournful and proud. "You might be able to kill , but I’ll return stronger each ti. That is Ember Rebirth!"
Jacob was startled when he heard this unexpected evaluation about his Fire and Lightning mana. It was the first ti soone had pointed out the uniqueness of the magic cores he had acquired through the Art of Nature.
His eyes flickered profoundly, ’My decision not to use my trump cards is right. These Fla Acolytes seed to have a will of their own, and fighting them was a rare learning experience, if one could truly understand their laws.
’Furthermore, this trial seed to be specifically targeted at Fire Law, yet also different, unique laws combined with the Fire Law. This is like my own theory of rging the laws, but I haven’t scratched the surface yet; they have carved their own paths. Is this the true power of a Demigod?’ Jacob thought as he looked at Nyza, who was about to start a new attack.
Just as he suspected, Nyza’s entire figure suddenly erupted in an upward burst of scarlet ash, and her silhouette morphed into a slimr, more defined one. Her ember veins pulsed with gold, not crimson.
Furthermore, at this mont, a vague phantom of an ancient instrunt suddenly materialized behind Nyza, making the entire atmosphere suffocating and mystical.
When Jacob saw the phantom of the vague ancient instrunt, his eyes flickered violently, ’A celestial astrolabe!’
It was Jacob’s first ti seeing an incomplete construct of a Celestial Astrolabe other than his own. This vague construct was the system of a true Quasi-Myth, and not even the Quasi-Myth rank, ch-skeleton of Black chanic could replicate a Celestial Astrolabe.
There was no doubt that Nyza was a true Demigod without any flaws.
At this mont, a familiar conceited voice suddenly rang in Jacob’s head, "Heh, you can’t even take care of an old ghost? How dare to strive for the Yang Fla?"
Jacob was startled because he recognized this voice; it belonged to Vortigash, and he couldn’t help but glance at the other side, and what he witnessed made him astounded.
At this mont, Vortigash was still standing tall and proud, but the wrathful Gahlreth was nowhere to be seen except for traces of white flas and a large crater.
’He won so quickly?’
Although Jacob had a feeling that Vortigash wasn’t as simple as he seed, he wasn’t expecting him to be powerful enough to win over a Demigod so quickly. Furthermore, Jacob knew Gahlreth was on the sa level as Nyza, yet the forr didn’t even last a minute.
Moreover, Jacob didn’t get to witness Vortigash’s prowess or what thod he used to defeat his opponent so quickly. Nonetheless, Jacob was now full on guard against this Ram-head enemy.
’Well, winning quickly or slowly has nothing to do with . I might as well use this chance to appear weak and struggling. Using his overconfidence against him...’ A hint of ridicule flickered in Jacob’s eyes as he no longer paid attention to the arrogant Ram-ling.
Nyza also didn’t seem to care about what happened on the other side, for her opponent was Jacob.
The vague celestial astrolabe behind her flickered as a mystical glyph ford in front of her like an ancient seal filled with the profound intent of flas.
"Second Cycle of Ember Rebirth...Return to Ashes!"
The glyph instantly flared and shot towards Jacob like a lightning bolt, but it didn’t smash into his barrier, unlike before; instead, it suddenly stopped above Jacob and started to expand into a massive pentagram circle filled with scarlet runic markings.
The mont the circle completely covered Jacob, a volcanic waterfall of red-golden flas fell on him, bringing a terrifying intent to destroy.
This ti, the Law contained in this attack was far more potent and profound than the previous attack. Jacob’s soul force began to wane at an alarming rate.
Although it still failed to crack open his defenses, there was no doubt that the input to keep it up had risen exponentially.
’Can’t waste more mana and soul force, since there are still four more opponents to face...’ Jacob tried to comprehend the Fire Law to the best of his abilities.
Still, it was too profound to grasp within a few monts, and he didn’t want to beco vulnerable by overestimating his abilities and succumbing to greed.
So, Jacob also decided to end it as he dismissively muttered, "Life Bane Wheel-Life Devour!"
