Of course, my flas never intended to harm the personnel inside the old Human Bureau base, and the vast Fire Sea I summoned wasn’t just for show. Under my control, the flas rushed towards from all directions, rapidly replacing my crystallized body with fire and synchronizing the healing of my soul injuries.
This place had been transford into the perfect "ho field" for . Previously, Chen Long had withstood my destruction backed by the power of restart in an independent reality space, whereas now, I utilized the ho field of the Fire Sea to achieve the sa.
I instantly regained the ability to move freely and charged towards Yinyue.
However, her "Death Decree" was still effective, and my body crystallized again as new injuries appeared in my soul. But the flas swiftly surged up from below, offsetting the progress of the crystallization and damage.
"You can still do such a thing?" Yinyue exclaid in surprise.
She teleported to a distance, then made a new move.
"Since that is the case—"
Mana fluctuations spread from her body like shockwaves. Where they passed, the Fire Sea disappeared in large swathes as if it had never existed. Seeing this, I summoned the disappearing part of the Fire Sea again. If her power was an eraser, then I was the ink brush splashing ink.
I noticed that when she focused her power on erasing the Fire Sea, the progression of my crystallization and soul injuries significantly slowed down. It seed that even she had limited power and couldn’t maintain her efficiency in harming while diverting her energy. Given this rate of injury, I might even repair myself by summoning flas internally.
Dimly, I felt as if I were ascending to a taphysical level, similar to when I fought the Shadow Swapping Monster. Clearly, Yinyue was engaging in the realm of causality, concepts, and imagination. I sensed my "existence" enveloped by a dark smoke that was gradually tainting .
Perhaps the level I was now perceiving was also where curses and spiritual magic operated. Facing this seemingly imaginary domain existing only in my mind, I imagined summoning flas to protect myself. The smoke was imdiately dispelled by the flas. However, the tendency of my condition to worsen hadn’t ceased.
It seed there were invisible forces that I currently couldn’t perceive eroding . This was normal, as Yinyue was undoubtedly a master of taphysical realms, and , a novice just peering into this heavy domain, wasn’t likely to easily gain the upper hand.
anwhile, my power was surging rapidly. Just as past soul pain induced by Chen Long had activated my consciousness and power, I was now being pushed to the limits, acutely aware of death’s shadow, unleashing power at an unprecedented efficiency.
Frankly, what I lacked now wasn’t power but the right ans to secure a victory.
Although I was ntally prepared to "burn Changan half to death if necessary," seeing Yinyue’s behavior made it clear that if I couldn’t kill her in one strike, she would recover on the spot; and if I did kill her, I’d likely kill Changan as well.
So, was there a way to target only "Yinyue’s soul"? Honestly, it was difficult. Although I could now destroy others’ souls, it was only based on my impressions of my own soul pain, and I had never directly perceived a soul. An unseen target couldn’t be included in the flas’ whitelist.
On a physical level, I couldn’t even discern whether Yinyue had rely donned her own shell on Changan’s body or used her superpower to modify Changan’s physical form into her own. If this was unclear, then targeting only the "part belonging to Yinyue" was even more challenging.
Considering that in the past, without knowing that the real identity of the girl Lu Chan was a state-level demon hunter dal, my flas hadn’t scorched her along with Chen Long, there was sothing worth ntioning. However, I believe it was part of my superpower as a power of the strange sotis being ambiguously defined. Viewing it as a naturally occurring passive phenonon was one thing, but I didn’t think I could use human consciousness to actively leverage it.
The worst possibility for right now was that Yinyue was not only possessing Changan’s body, but had also entirely killed and replaced Changan using her superpowers. Given the power she had displayed, it was entirely possible. I couldn’t even think of a reason why she wouldn’t do so — could it be that this demon, who hardly ever nurtured Changan, had any maternal love for him?
I could only temporarily stop myself from thinking in that direction.
I controlled the flas to attack her repeatedly and took the opportunity to use Fla Transmission to get close and burst flas at her. Sotis she dodged, other tis she used her superpower to cancel my actions. Dodging aside, this "cancel" was truly unexpected. There were even a few instances when I finally hit her, yet she would still turn it into a "thing that never happened," instantly reverting to her original form.
But, I had my own ideas.
Since I couldn’t surpass her in the uniqueness of power, I decided to overwhelm her with sheer magnitude. This Fire Sea was not just there for show. After several exchanges, I could tell that Yinyue was not more powerful than I was, rely in terms of strength. And on my end, my power continued to rise.
"...you are growing stronger," Yinyue’s tone fluctuated, "No, this isn’t just growing... it’s awakening. I see now, it seems you possess a remarkably unparalleled talent.
"But... did you think I would let you continue to increase your strength?"
While she spoke, she no longer continued to dodge but charged towards instead.
What was she trying to do? I imdiately beca highly cautious. I was clearly stronger in a head-on conflict; even if she could cancel my actions or reset her damaged state at any mont, to recklessly engage in close combat was still not a wise choice. This looked entirely like a posture ready to unleash so deadly move.
And my judgnt was not wrong. In her right palm, I saw a fiercely hot white orb that gave off an extrely ominous feeling.
Probably because of the nature of my superpowers, other demon hunters here might not imdiately realize what it was, but I could instantly determine its nature. The basic operating principle of this thing was the sa as that majestic celestial body that hangs in the sky during the day.
I had once seen many people online discussing how they would develop their awakened superpowers, wondering if combining with scientific theories could produce amazing results. For instance, whether a superpower user who can manipulate electric currents could control the fundantal electromagnetic force, or whether a psychokinesis user could manipulate atoms at the microscopic level to produce nuclear fission, and so on.
However, in the demon hunter’s world, such things didn’t seem to be popular. It’s understandable — even if humans can move matter with their hands, it doesn’t an they can disassemble and reassemble the chemical structures of matter with their hands. The power of the strange can expand and be interpreted in the imagination, but in practice it’s a different story.
Nevertheless, Yinyue seed to have broken that conventional idea.
I had once used "miniature star" as a taphor for my super-compressed Fireball, but compared to the white orb Yinyue held in her palm right now, it was simply inferior. This thing was a true mini-sun, based on the principle of nuclear fusion producing imnse energy.
Yinyue hurled the fiercely hot white orb at my chest.
Nuclear explosion ensued.
