Chapter 1832 Confrontation [12]
Once he transformed, fighting the Dragon Lord felt like a game.
He had patterns that were easier to read. Breath attacks, claw attacks, bites, and tail swipes were the majority of his movements. His back spikes and gust abilities didn't work as well if Damien didn't aim to get behind him, so they were made ineffective the moment Damien adapted to his strategies.
This was a fight between a rising genius and an Area Lord, but it looked more like the start of a dragon slayer's journey. The crowd was enamored by each and every moment, and though the Temple Masters knew that this event was fated to end in tragedy, even they couldn't help but be impressed by the show.
Damien was extremely fast. When he adopted a fighting style less like that of a Supreme, embracing his skill rather than his raw power, he was able to create something majestic on the battlefield.
His origin was war and battle. It was such an integral part of his life, so he'd grown into someone who performed best when he was not in control of absolute power.
When using Existence or Nonexistence, battles became more boring. Though there were many intellectually fascinating things happening, the fights were more between people's minds than their bodies.
This was different. Though their minds were still their main weapons, they used their bodies just as much. The Nonexistence they controlled was exhibited through their every movement, through the swings of their swords and claws, and through the fantastic abilities they used.
Damien was employing the Void Sword Art again. It had eight forms that had been developed over the course of his lifetime. Unlike anything else, these techniques were unique to him in every way. Despite having to use them with Nonexistence alone rather than their original laws, he was able to flawlessly display their power.
'Void Sword Art Fourth Step: Spatial Collapse'
Collapsing space in the Land of Nothingness was impossible, but collapsing its reality was not. Damien targeted the very fabric that held the realm together and forced it to twist into a massive spatial distortion that swallowed the Dragon Lord's body.
The sky became the ground and the ground became the sky. The faces of the crowd turned into a mosaic of colors with no distinct features, warping the Dragon Lord's perception of the world.
The gravitational pull that the attack created froze his body, and as the cracks tried to cut through his scales, he roared in power.
His aura encompassed the entire distortion and flattened it to the ground.
BOOOOM!
The entire arena shook. The ground shattered into millions of pieces only to regenerate in the next second.
The Dragon Lord's body moved like a snake as he charged towards Damien. His claw extended, wrapped in the same black flames that he used before.
However, Damien was already counterattacking.
BOOOOOOOOM!
His body was instantly forced to the ground. His neck made a disgusting crunching sound as several bones were broken. The back spikes shattered one by one, and Damien controlled their essence to add to his attack power.
The ground shattered once more, dropping Damien and the Dragon Lord into a pit below the arena. The floor tried to repair itself, but it no longer had that kind of capability.
The Dragon Lord was releasing ample amounts of energy to combat Damien's technique, while Worldbreaker itself was releasing waves that slammed against the arena barrier and struck fear into the onlooking crowd.
'It's time.'
They had been fighting for some time now. Damien could feel the Dragon Lord's energy becoming wilder and wilder.
'At this point, the bomb will go off whether I like it or not.'
Damien glanced up at the Temple Masters. Through a transmission that only they could hear, he sent them five words that made their eyes go wide.
Regardless, he wasn't going to let Chaos have its way. If the bomb was going to go off no matter what he did...
...then he was going to be the one to set it off.
He looked at the Dragon Lord who was struggling below him. To the crowd, it looked like he was still defending against the effects of Worldbreaker, but that had already passed.
At this point, the Dragon Lord was leaking energy at increasing intensities, and Damien's oppressive energy was the only thing keeping it from combusting.
He already won this battle. The internal injuries the Area Lord had sustained were catching up to him, especially now that Damien had released the chains that kept him alive.
The arena was wild with cheers, shaking the entire city.
But the rumbling happening now was only partially their fault.
With one last glance, Damien stabbed his sword into the open flesh he revealed with Worldbreaker.
And the Dragon Lord dutifully fulfilled his fate as a living nuclear bomb.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
