Even though he was bleeding profusely, the gaping wound visible on his chest was completely of no concern to Ery. After all, now that he possessed the magus [Immortal Body], coupled with his innate [Undecaying Flesh], it wouldn't take long for his wound to heal.
However, right now his entire attention was elsewhere, as he felt so sense of familiarity from within the power of Zenonia's sword.
Closing his eyes, Ery sharpened his senses to further perceive the sensation. A mont later, he suddenly opened up his hand, revealing his palm. A similar dark energy blade swiftly materialized out of his hand.
[Void Blade]
Just like that Ery was able to cast the female grand magus' spell, as if it was his own.
Looking at the shimring glint of the pitch-black blade, Ery couldn't help but crack a fond smile. Not only did he manage to copy Zenonia's spell, his understanding of it had also managed to earn him so of her comprehension in the Law of Space.
Needless to say, the sight of the person she most wanted to kill managing to steal and use her spell triggered Zenonia even more.
"You... You will beco a threat if I don't finish you off now!"
Once again, the pale-skinned female grand magus sent her dark blade at Ery, while her figure moved between the fabric of space. Sharing the sa sentint as the other party, Ery quickly followed suit and disappeared from his spot.
Their figures could barely be seen as the two of them flickered between the void at frightening speed, clashing their [Void Blades] against each other, causing nurous distortions that scarred the space as their battle went on.
It was not only a battle of strength, the two figures were also practitioners in the Laws of Space and Gravity. A great deal of high tier spells perford, each one deadlier than the last, wrecking havoc to the surroundings as killing intent beca palpable.
Even though Zenonia held the advantage due to her superior cultivation, Ery still managed to keep up thanks to his spells which had been upgraded further.
It was a grand magus-level battle, one capable of turning the created domain into chaos.
The earth shook and torn asunder, violent gusts of wind raged in the sky, as spatial distortions grew rapidly in number, causing cracks to show up all over the place.
"How could you possibly advance this fast?! No matter how strong your Devour is, it's simply impossible!"
Overwheld with rage from seeing soone hundreds of years younger who managed to reach her level of strength, Zenonia beca more violent as the [Void Sword] in her control intensified, showing a ferocious swordplay.
Even though she wasn't a master swordsman, every single slash she threw shouldn't be underestimated, as it was suffused with the full force of the gravitational force, bearing a power that could split space itself.
Being the recipient of such an attack, Ery naturally tried his best to avoid it. Unfortunately, the female grand magus' rampage proved difficult to handle. He quickly sustained injuries to his body â€" the kind that bled profusely as they reached his bones.
Even so, Ery was not intimidated. On the contrary, an excited grin appeared on his face as he could feel that with every second, every clash, even the wounds on his body, his comprehension of the sword grew rapidly.
Block, parry, counter and attack. Sparks continued to appear as their fight progressed. Ery demonstrated everything he had learnt about swordsmanship so far. What he lacked in strength, he made up for in sword skills.
Over the dozens of exchanges, Ery realized so of the moves he was using to deal with Zenonia's attacks were sothing he had never learnt before.
Given his rapid improvent and what he had experienced before, it didn't take long for him to realize that those were not the results of his breakthrough, but instead because of Altus' soul, who still seed to influence him.
Gradually, the profound mories and vast experience of a supre being â€" Altus Dresden â€" began assimilating themselves into Ery's mind. Even without the appearance of the notifications, Ery knew his understanding about Laws was expanding greatly, followed by a drastic increase in his soul force.
As ti passed, those invaluable mories and experiences continued to enrich his being, making each of his sword strikes and spells stronger, to the point that he was even able to push back the female grand magus at her full strength.
Zenonia showed a look of disbelief before a huge scowl marred her face.
Her hateful eyes locked on Ery, she mustered all she could and concentrated her strength into a single strike, before finally unleashing it towards him. As it streaked through space, the attack seed capable of piercing even the strongest tal, erasing its existence from reality itself.
[Reality Slash]
Ery attempted to do the sa thing he did with the female grand magus' [Void Sword], but soon found out that this particular skill was sothing he could not copy nor parry. Even so, he still didn't step aside to dodge the attack like a normal person would in his position.
Instead, Ery aroused every drop of power he had into putting all his power to distort the space in front of him, barring anything from passing through.
BAAMMMMM!!!
The clash between the two energies led to a powerful explosion that further damaged Zenonia' domain. The spatial cracks increased even more with this, so had even crumbled, shattering into pieces.
"What have you done?! You're in my domain! This shouldn't be possible!"
Seeing such expression from the female grand magus, Ery replied in a nonchalant manner to infuriate her even more. "It's not easy, but it's possible if one has identical comprehension in the Law of Space."
It was a knowledge that originated from the supre magus. Such an answer was enough to make the female great magus speechless. Before she ca into a sudden epiphany.
"It's you, isn't it, Master? You're the one helping this brat!"
Unfortunately for her, Ery was unable to answer the question as he currently had no way of conversing with the supre magus' soul. He also absolutely had no intention to do so.
At the mont, the thing that occupied his mind was a way to stop the female grand magus in front of him, and once again a solution arrived for him, one that must co from the supre magus knowledge.
Ery dispelled the [Void Sword] he conjured, which he then channeled both cores. The Primal Core and the green crystalized Magus Core worked in tandem under Ery's will, preparing for one spell.
It was another root spell, very much similar to the one he had cast before.
As hundreds of green roots erged from the ground and shot forward at breakneck speed, Zenonia once again chuckled.
"This spell again? Are you joking with now?!"
She was quickly surrounded by it, but as she had experienced this before, Zenonia imdiately cast a sudden power burst. Just like before, an invisible power erupted from her, crushing the roots to dust.
"This will be the last of it!!"
But then, to her surprise, when the green root was crushed, within it still remained a different root. It existed in the form of energy, just like the [Void Blade]. Alarms rang in her mind the mont her eyes saw them.
Alas, before she could do anything, those roots had shot forward as fast as lightning. They were clearly resistant to the female grand magus' invisible force, and within seconds, the dark green glowing roots clung to her and began to entangle her body.
"Arrrghhh, if you think this would hold down, think again!!"
Zenonia imdiately struggles to break free. But soon, a look of horror appeared on her face.
To her shock, not only did she find it difficult to channel her spirit enegy, those that she managed to after painstakingly trying were quickly absorbed by those roots. The more she tried, the more her energy was taken from her.
Her face imdiately turned pale as she realized what Ery had just done to her. anwhile, the latter approached her and said
"This is the fastest way I know to stop you."
[Soul Devour]
It was a complex combination spell involving his nature spell, anti-magic, and his devouring technique. The more energy it devoured, the weaker Zenonia would beco, and eventually her domain would be destroyed to nothingness.
In such a desperate situation, Zenonia gaze at Ery's eyes, there she could see the image of her master behind. A different kind of hatred can be seen on her face, one that follows with a drop of tear.
"Master, did i do wrong?... All I did.. All was following your teaching"
Knowing that she wouldn't be able to escape, Zenonia chose to take drastic action. Her body started to brim with power as she decided to unleash all the cosmic power within her core in one fatal disastrous spell.
[Black Hole]
