As Azazel manifested my whip and rapidly swung it across while extending it endlessly, loud explosions burst out as the whip sliced through the now-thicker layer of sludge on the walls and floors, chunks of sludge flying out before he quickly flew up as the sludge on the ground below rapidly extended up towards my body in the form of several spikes.
Izzy swiftly blasted out a wave of blue flas at the spikes, lting them back down as Luna focused clouds of smoke onto the walls and then fired out sparks of fla at the smoke, triggering powerful explosions along the walls as Izzy sharply sucked in and swallowed up her flas before they could spread out too much.
We’re all unleashing so pretty intense attacks, but it’s no use...any gaps we created in the thick layer of sludge coating the space around us close back up almost instantly after being damaged. And while Izzy’s blue flas are strong enough to make the sludge lose shape whenever it starts to take form, her flas aren’t able to fully evaporate or vaporize the sludge.
Which effectively ans that the sludge is not too far off from being as durable as a Soul Weapon...we can slice through and splatter the sludge, but normal attacks aren’t enough to wipe out-...
’Hey, could you stop it with the running comntary? It’s very distracting!’ Snapped Azazel telepathically, as he narrowly evaded a barrage of sharp sli projectiles shooting towards us.
Sorry, but I can’t exactly stop myself from thinking entirely...and besides, I’m analyzing the situation. And following my analysis at its current progression...try using a few Black Hole Spells to get rid of so of the sludge, we’re just gonna have to bank on the assumption that he can’t produce an infinite amount of the stuff and chip away at it until he runs low!
’That’s...not a bad suggestion, actually.’
Azazel then activated several small Black Hole Spells all along the walls and ceiling within the range of my Distance Casting, intense gravitational pulls bursting out by each of them as they swallowed up large chunks of the sludge.
Luna was quick to catch on, and followed our lead, manifesting multiple small black holes of her own, as Izzy flew across to the middle of the space and unleashed a barrage of rapid Negative Energy projectiles down at the ground.
Suddenly, as several masses of sludge began to rise up and take shape in the form of snaking tendrils, Luna leapt away as several of them shot towards her, puffs of smoke bursting out as a couple burst through her body, tearing through her clothes before her body turned to smoke and floated away from the tendrils, her Black Holes Spells dissipating as she shifted her focus to evasion.
That’s not good, while she’s immune from physical damage while her Soul Weapon Ascension is active, she did say that she can’t maintain it for very long, probably because she sealed her mory of it and therefore ended up neglecting training with it. Well, not that I can criticize her for that, since she was enslaved during that ti.
Anyway, to get to my point...the fact that she’s trying so hard to evade these attacks, likely ans that she’s starting to approach the ti limit of her Soul Weapon Ascension form, it could wear off any second now, leaving her vulnerable to Plasmuk’s attacks.
Azazel then quickly zipped away as so of the tendrils chased after us rapidly, while bursts of Negative Energy and blue flas exploded out from the middle of the space as Izzy got surrounded by the rest of the tendrils.
As Azazel flew across the air to evade the tendrils, he then abruptly and rapidly swooped down towards the ground as my fists began glowing, charging up his Exploding Fists technique.
He unleashed powerful strikes with my fists as he closed in on the ground, smashing through the now-thinner layer of sludge and breaking the ground apart, before quickly flying back up as spikes of sludge burst out towards us.
He flew away as a barrage of sludge needles ca raining down towards us from the ceiling, a few piercing into my thighs and legs as he failed to evade them all, grimacing in pain...damn it, this is going nowhere!
It’s like we’re fighting against the terrain itself! What do we do? Our ti limit until Azazel in no longer able to stay in control of my body, and therefore unleash the full extent of our power, is half over already.
Luna’s ti limit with her Soul Weapon Ascension is clearly ticking down too, and Izzy’s unable to attack at full blast because she’s having to keep so of her focus on dodging the attacks coming her way.
Suddenly, a cry of pain rang out, Azazel turning my gaze in the direction it ca from, to see Luna restrained by the sludge, which was wrapped around her limbs and torso, with a hollow sphere of sludge surrounding her.
"Well, that’s one down. Don’t bother trying to free her...that sphere she’s enclosed in will lt any physical matter it cos into contact with instantly! And if you try to attack the sphere, I’ll just kill her. She’s only still alive because it’s more beneficial for to consu creatures while they’re alive, since they lose a lot of Mana and life force after dying, it’s such a waste, they’re more flavorful when their life force is still intact. Now, then, try not to disappoint any further...because I think it’s ti for to get serious..."
No kidding...he can turn his sli acidic, but he hasn’t done so until now. He’s still holding back, not taking us seriously. Damn it, at this rate, it’s only a matter of ti before we’re defeated and killed...
