Kyle teleported from place to place, killing wave after wave of Demons. He had seen a couple of Divine Beasts in the past, but after just a couple of teleportations, he beca very familiar with them.
If these were just regular beasts, there wouldn’t even be a war. For example, even though Kyle was only a First Refinent Sage, he could probably even kill Fifth Refinent Sage Beasts. A single talented New Ascendant could probably rival a powerful Ascendant Beast. A group of Ascendants could probably even take down a Peak Ascendant Beast.
Yet, the Demons were not beasts. They were Divine Beasts.
A Peak Sage Divine Beast was as powerful as a talented Unique Sage, and the worst part was that Divine Beasts didn’t really have a lot of bottlenecks. As long as they kept surviving and battling, a Sage Divine Beast would eventually beco a Peak Sage Divine Beast.
anwhile, only a tiny fraction of Sages ever beca Unique Sages. This ant that there were far more Peak Sage Beasts than there were Unique Sages. Because of that, Spirit Lords had to get involved and kill Peak Sage Beasts, which put their Karmic Luck in jeopardy. Fortunately, the difference between a Peak Sage and a New Spirit Lord wasn’t big, which ant these battles could still count as True Battles.
Yet, Peak Crusher Divine Beasts were an issue. Even the worst New Sage could kill a Peak Crusher Divine Beast with ease. This ant that several Sage Shields were basically forced to lower their Karmic Luck.
The only way to mitigate this loss was to take turns.
After killing thousands of Primal Demons, Kyle got a feel for their power. He wanted to know how much Energy he needed to expend to just barely kill them.
‘They’re easier to kill than expected,’ he thought. ‘It’s not that the Demons are weak. It’s just that the difference between a Sage and a Crusher is humongous. I can probably also kill about 150 Crusher Divine Beasts.’
Kyle kept teleporting, killing one Demon after another.
Red bursts of negative Karmic Luck assaulted him continuously. Yet, as he continued, he also noticed several green lines.
Working a job almost always improved the lives of so people, even if it didn’t seem like it. Soone who mindlessly assembled products might feel that their work had no aning, but every part of a finished product was important. Without the parts the worker had attached to the product, the buyer wouldn’t get the full product.
Sadly, it was hard for one to feel the impact one’s work had on the custor. If an assembler saw the excited faces of the custors who had received their item, they might see their impact.
Kyle’s job as a Decimator would be one of these jobs. He mindlessly went from place to place, killing faceless and unimportant Demons. The endless horde never stopped, and the intensity didn’t decrease. One would feel like one tried to stop a waterfall with a bucket.
Yet, the green Karmic Lines gave Kyle this affirmation. Waves of red clouded his Karmic Vision, but between the red waves, he saw a growing number of green lines.
He might not be able to see the people who benefited from his work, but thanks to his Karmic Vision, he could still see the positive impact he had on Humanity.
Sadly, the negative Karmic Luck he received outweighed the positive Karmic Luck by a factor of over 10,000.
After another teleportation, Kyle felt space manifesting, interrupting his next teleportation.
He looked to the side and saw a New Sage Demon. Most beasts couldn’t lock down space since they didn’t have access to Montum, but there were also other ways to stop teleportation.
The New Sage Demon looked like a five-headed mantis. Each head had a neck with different lengths, which had extendable scythes growing out of them.
The Spirit Lord Demons were fought on the Z-range of Forts, while the majority of Sage Demons were fought between the U-Forts and the X-Forts. However, so still made it through.
Kyle’s job was to kill as many Demons as possible. Getting involved with a New Sage Demon would not be worth it.
Sadly, that was not how battles worked. Battles didn’t need the consent of both parties.
The Demon wanted to fight Kyle, and there wasn’t much he could do about it.
Kyle took out his hamr as the Demon charged towards him.
The heads of the Demon expanded as shining white tal appeared around its countless scythes. Based on the Energy around it, the Demon had Affinities for Light and tal. Kyle had heard that the Divine Beasts in Ayuvar could create equipnt, but this was apparently not one of them. After all, it had just conjured the armor.
The scythes elongated, cutting off all of Kyle’s escape routes. tallic spears shot out of the heads as they ca closer.
Kyle’s hamr turned black as a dim orange glow appeared around it. In the next mont, his hamr swung forward.
BOOOM!
The hamr crashed against the fabric of reality, and a pulse of Energy spread outward.
The tallic spears were blasted away, and the speed of the heads slowed. This was one of Kyle’s new techniques. It was the counterpart to Focus. While Focus focused an attack, this technique dispersed an attack. Because of that, Kyle called it Dispersal.
At the sa ti, the reality around Kyle warped. Yet, this was not the doing of his Montum.
The Space, Ti, and Gravity Energies moved in unison.
The space between Kyle’s body and his opponent’s attacks expanded.
The space between Kyle’s hamr and his opponent’s heads compressed.
Kyle’s ti increased.
His opponent’s ti decreased.
Kyle’s body emitted a repelling force of negative gravity.
The intensity of gravity around Kyle’s hamr multiplied manifold.
Kyle swung his hamr again.
99% of the scythes didn’t reach his body. The remaining scythes missed it.
The five heads of the Demon moved towards one spot, which rapidly approached the hamr.
BOOOOM!
Kyle struck the gathered and spatially compressed heads with his hamr. A black hole appeared where the heads had just been.
The black hole dispersed almost imdiately, and reality returned to normal. Since space was no longer distorted, one could now see the heads of the Demon clearly.
All five of them had been compressed into tiny spheres. Naturally, all the Biological Energy in them had been compressed to an unreasonable degree, and a mont later, the heads exploded into a wave of flesh and blood.
The Demon’s corpse joined the Corpse Mountains.
If Kyle’s forr opponents could see the way he fought, they wouldn’t feel any familiarity. He still used a hamr, but the way he used it was completely different.
All of this was because of the growth Kyle had undergone after returning to the Hell Dinsion. In the past, Kyle had hit his opponents with his hamr. Yet, in this fight, his hamr hadn’t even touched his opponent, technically.
When his hamr had “hit” the five heads, it hadn’t actually hit them. It had hit the reality around them. All of the Wind Energy, Fire Energy, tal Energy, and physical power had been pushed into one point on the fabric of reality in the form of gravitational force. This created a short-lived but very intense gravitational field. This field was so powerful that it could even compress the five heads of the New Sage Demon.
Naturally, this was one of his new techniques, and he called it Compression.
At the mont, Compression was more powerful than Kyle’s Imposing Law, but if he could advance his Law of Hamr’s level, it would beco stronger again. Kyle could have also killed the Demon with his Law of Hamr, but he wouldn’t have been able to destroy all five heads at once. At most, he could’ve destroyed three with one strike.
However, this wasn’t the only new power Kyle had used during the battle. After all, the prior distortion of reality wasn’t part of the technique. In fact, it wasn’t even part of his Law of Black Hole.
This was the doing of Kyle’s Infused Soul Law.
