The mont the old man’s hand ca off, I froze.
"What. The. Fuck?" Was all I could say.
After all the torture disguised training sessions I’ve been through with this man, I knew one thing for sure.
He wasn’t that fragile.
Not even close.
The very fact that a punch packing over 37million strength stats couldn’t move him said more than enough.
So if he wasn’t that fragile, then that could only an..
"Collapse and Inevitability.." it could only be these two, the ti acceleration might’ve also had a hand in it, but I was sure these two were at the forefront of it all..
Collapse.
Inevitability.
One ensured reality and everything else didn’t dare stay together in its presence.
The other ensured that whatever it wanted, had already co to pass.
So the rging of these two cheats, not forgetting the fact that the Collapse vision, as I call it, had made sure that I had attacked the absolute weakest point on that arm, made it possible for to take the arm.
Negation couldn’t stop Absolution.
"Hooo..." I breathed out, trying to steady myself.
There was still a lot to learn about these two laws, and their worded descriptions wouldn’t cut it..
So, I focused, back on the arm that had just finished unraveling and disappearing, as the old man finally spoke..
"Interesting."
His voice hadn’t lost that tone of indifference, even after losing an arm.
"Ti and ti again, I seem to underestimate your rate of growth." His words ca out slow, intentional, as he surveyed his severed limb.
"So much so, that I’d even placed you on the sa pedestal your father was on, yet even then.." he shook his head, chuckling.
I imdiately tensed up.
The old man was chuckling.
He never laughs, unless he’s decided you deserved pain.
"You put to sha the title of genius, boy!" I watched in fascination as his arm grew back in an instant.
It wasn’t healing.
No. It was sothing more profound.
He stretched the newly ford arm, "so, allow to give you the treatnt soone of your caliber deserves." A massive, 12-foot long broadsword wrapped tightly in white bandages, materialized slowly in a cloud of crimson fog, the entire atmosphere turning a crimson red, the sll of blood and death filling my lungs.
"I apologize for my previous actions, I shall underestimate you no longer." The old man concluded as he brought both hands to the hilt of the bandaged weapon...
My instincts flared imdiately..
DANGER!!!!
I tensed, ready for anything, but I couldn’t have been more foolish,
"Art Of Massacre, First Form..."
[Chaotic comprehension is activating....]
I blinked.
Once.
And the world began tilting.
"Eh? Did I just... die?"
"Dead at the gates.." the old man’s voice sounded from before .
A sharp drop in my energy, proof that ChaoticDenial had done it’s job saw my body reford anew, yet my face had gone grim..
I hadn’t seen him move.
One mont he was standing before , the next, I was headless.
And even more troubling, I looked at my status page..
......
Chaos Energy(CE): 200,000,000k/233,750,000k -> 176,250,000k/233,750,000k
.......
A sharp 10% drop in my total energy capacity, all from trying to survive one attack..
That was perhaps the most expensive revival I’ve had till date..
Yet the old man wasn’t about to give any respite..
"Second Form..."
Before the old man could even finish his words, the world was suddenly split into two different halves..
"Vanishing Death..." his voice whispered quietly from behind my bisected figure...
Another sharp drop in my energy and my body was returned to its wholeso state, yet this ti,
"Haa... Haa.. Haa.." I was breathing heavily, my figure hunched over, as a could sweat drenched my entire body...
"That was different..." that move, it didn’t feel like anything from before..
It felt like sothing was trying to erase my existence as a whole..
CE: 176,250,000k -> 100,000,000k
A whopping 76million chaos energy, just to survive whatever that was..
One should rember, this was chaos energy.
The godfather of all energies.
100x more qualitative and quantitative than mana, yet I’d used over 76million points of that sa energy just to survive an attack.
"That move..." it wasn’t made to be survived...
If it were anyone else... they’d be dead right now...
"Third Form..." my face turned a ghastly white the mont I heard those words...
There was a third form??
Like the first two weren’t already a nightmare!!!
Before I could think any further, it hit ..
Pain!
A hellish pain.
A soul tearing, Heart numbing pain.
Pain the likes of which I had never experienced in my entire life.
I have been killed more tis than I can be bothered to count.
Blasted apart, sliced and diced, beheaded, yet during those tis all I felt was the thrill of the mont, but this, this was different..
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" The cry tore straight out of before I could even think of stopping it..
"Make it stop! Make it stop! Make it stop! Just fucking make it stop!!!!" I scread internally, because I couldn’t articulate any words that weren’t soul wrenching shrieks of pain...
Chaotic Denial was working, proof was the fast pace at which my energy was dropping...
100,000,000k
99,000,000k
97,000,000k
95,000,000k
....
...
90,000,000k
That was within the first 5 seconds of this torture.
I needed to do sothing fast or I was truly going to et my maker today..
"De...Devour..." I stuttered ntally, my only thoughts being to use this to offset my rapidly dropping energy levels..
.....
It was working, but barely.
I needed to make this, whatever it was, stop..
I opened my eyes, struggling to stay awake through the ordeal, as my pupils changed, veins spreading through them..
Collapse Vision...
I activated that particular ability the law had granted , only this ti, I didn’t look outward, no.
I focused my attention inward, at my very being, then I saw it..
A dark crimson fog of energy that was eating at my entire being constantly without pause.
It was eating at EVERYTHING..
My body.
My core.
Even places I myself couldn’t yet access.
EVERYTHING...
"How... how do I..." the thought crossed my mind before a solution followed right after..
I was already using it..
Collapse.
Yes.
It’s nature was to cause the destabilization of everything, so it should work on unraveling whatever this was..
I didn’t wait to consider anything else...
I channeled the full force of the law within , but I didn’t use it alone.
Inevitability was added into the mix with only one desired outco in mind.
DESTROY!
The energies surged through my body like an uncontrollable tide, Collapse washing through .
The mont it sensed the energy released by the crimson fog, it flared! Attacking imdiately..
CRACK!!
I could hear sothing crack audibly within my body, no, within my entire existence, as a pain that felt a million tis worse than what I’d been experiencing earlier crashed upon ..
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I couldn’t have stopped this even if I wanted to, as I could literally feel every part of my existence collapsing, unraveling, being completely unmade, just for Chaotic Denial to put back whole.
The back and forth continued between the three forces for a few monts, my mind tearing apart from the harrowing pain, until eventually..
SCHPLATTTT!!!!!
I exploded into blood mist and for a very, very brief instant that sohow still felt like eternity, everything..
EVERYTHING, went Pitch Black
I.. Had truly died.
**************
A/N: would you guys believe if I said I didn’t do cliffhangers on purpose? At least there’s the next Chapter imdiately after this one, so you guys aren’t allowed to be angry...
Anyways...
**************
Thanks for reading....
