"Is that all you can do with your asly strength?" Nial asked mockingly when he rged with the darkness inside the ground.
He retreated to the border of the isolated space while keeping an eye on the Keltia ranked Heligav.
Ryu, Kaeldur and Tyrant had retreated as well, albeit reluctantly.
They wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible, especially after the Heligav's eyes had turned red, and steam was released from his expanding body.
Kaeldur's black marks were slowly disappearing from the Heligav's body, but that was sothing Nial had expected.
"Please show the true power of soone at the Keltia rank. I am already getting bored!" Nial further provoked his opponent. His hair stood up on its end and his hearts began to race. He wanted to end the Heligav as quickly as possible, but his desire to fight his enemy when he was at his strongest overwheld his rationality.
He was only at the Protheus rank, which ant that not even a hundred Nials would be strong enough to defeat the Keltia Heligav. Yet, with the help of his allies, his unique abilities, and the use of his runic armants, Nial was able to gain the strength he was not supposed to possess at his rank.
He possessed far more energy than anyone at his rank would be able to handle under normal circumstances, and Nial made use of that by retrieving a bunch of weapons from his spatial ring.
"Catch this!" He told Kaeldur and Tyrant, who turned around to see their master throw a bunch of runic armants at them.
Nial gave Ryu a few runic armants as well while keeping his attention on the Keltia Heligav, whose body was shrouded in a bloody do. The bloody do was created with the empowered blood of the Heligav as a ans of protection. The Heligav still required a minute or two to finish tamorphosing, after all!
"Do you want us to interrupt his tamorphosis?" Tyrant asked eagerly but Nial shook his head.
"Get into position, prepare yourself and attack with all your might the mont the do shows signs of dispersing," Nial instructed while releasing and rging his energies to create the strongest version.
His Essence of Darkness fused easily with the dark energy, strengthening it trendously. To further enhance the high quantity of dark energy, Nial unleashed a large amount of his accumulated crimson power.
While Nial fused his energies, Tyrant and Kaeldur unleashed their whole dark energy. The isolated space began to tremor violently and one could hear faint crackling sounds resounding through the entire space in response to the trendous power that was released at once.
Nial smiled at this but he didn't allow it to distract him. He took a deep breath and focused on the bow and arrow he was holding in his hand.
Darkness currents began to swirl around the bow and the black arrow when Nial ca in contact with them. The Abyss Bow was created with Darkness Essence runic constellations. Only Nial and other beings capable of wielding the Essence of Darkness could unleash the bow's true power.
That was exactly what Nial did by nocking the arrow at the bowstring before he pulled it backward.
His ordinary physical strength was not enough to pull the arrow backward, which is why he had been forced to use a runic armor called [Power Chestplate]. It had several [Physical Reinforcent], and [Strength Amplification] runic constellations engraved and it enhanced Nial's strength enough to wield the Abyss Bow.
He took a deep breath and held his breath while aiming at the Heligav. Nial might not be able to see anything but his [Mana Sense] and perception were more than enough to make up for that.
It was not even a problem for Nial to visualize the exact trajectory the arrow would have upon releasing it.
Thus, Nial could focus on slowly inserting more and more power inside the Reinforced Doom Arrow that was made out of Black Hyanut tal.
Black Hyanut tal required a trendous amount of mana to be utilized properly. Even Originals at the Deux rank wouldn't be able to wield weapons made out of Black Hyanut tal for more than a minute, not while it was in its peak form.
Nonetheless, many Originals desired weapons made out of Black Hyanut tal as the tal had special traits, including the trait to pierce through the defenses of most opponents. The trait itself was called [Anti-Magic], and its function was self-explanatory.
It required a trendous amount of mana to be activated but one could cut through all kinds of defenses with ease. There were only few exceptions.
Currents of Darkness and Crimson power circulated around the Reinforced Doom Arrow that had nurous runic constellations engraved on it. It was a One-ti-use arrow and Nial's fingers were twitching as he waited impatiently to fire it.
He didn't have to wait too long until the bloody do began showing signs of dispersing.
Ryu had already prepared a second Darkness Beam, a stronger one this ti that was amplified by the proper use of certain runic armants.
As for Tyrant and Kaeldur, the weapons they wielded and the runic armants they had put on showed signs of breaking already. The power they had unleashed exceeded the endurance of the Broken Tier-2 runic armants Nial had created, but that did not deter his group.
A Crow manifested out of Darkness erged from the weapon Kaeldur wielded, followed by a humongous black bull that erged next to Tyrant.
Nial took a deep breath while waiting for the perfect timing before he issued a short command, "Fire!"
The mont Nial issued his command, everyone unleashed their attacks. The Black Crow and the Black Bull created with every bit of Kaeldur and Tyrant's Dark energy burst forward while Nial and Ryu unleashed their respective long-range attacks.
Nial's arrow was the first to hit the target, piercing through the last bits of resistance from the bloody do just before his attack impaled the Heligav's chest.
The arrow dug deep inside the Heligav's flesh and it was not even a matter of seconds before the true powers that were stored within the arrow were unleashed.
Nial watched excitedly as he perceived how the arrow tip turned into a replica of a black hole. Every bit of mana around the arrow tip was forcefully suctioned toward it, preventing the Heligav from building up a proper defense against the remaining attacks.
The Darkness Beam impacted on the Heligav's chest as well. Coincidence or not, the Darkness Beam hit the sa spot as Nial's arrow, piercing it deeper inside the Original.
On the other hand, the Black Crow shot forward, targeting the head of the ignorant Heligav. Nial knew what was about to happen but he was exhilarated nonetheless when he visualized how the Heligav's head burst open.
The Heligav had already been weakened before his transformation, and the tamorphosis had demanded a trendous amount of power. Adding the weakened state caused by the deprivation of mana, it had been impossible for the Heligav to protect himself in any way.
Yet, even after the Heligav's head burst open, the attacks were not yet over. The Black Bull had yet to cause a rampage, which was exactly what happened as it ramd its horns into the Heligav, hurling him several ters through the air before he was trampled upon.
The Black Bull didn't disperse imdiately after the attack was concluded but it kept trampling on the Heligav, who was still twitching even though his head had burst open.
In the end, the Heligav didn't even know how it had been possible for soone like Nial to defeat him, but it had happened. He was going to die without knowing the secret.
It was obvious who had erged victorious from the battle, even if it was not supposed to happen.
Of course, Nial couldn't care less about what should have happened and what was supposed to be impossible.
He acted on his own accord and gave his best.
As for the result…it was obvious.
Nial had won the battle in a spectacular way!
"Thanks for protecting the Swirl of Chaos for , until now!" He said with a smirk as he stepped toward the mashed body of the Heligav.
He bent down, picked up the unscathed ability crystal, and began to smile from ear to ear.
His hearts were beating rapidly, his Mana core was going wild and his entire being seed to scream at him, telling him one particular thing.
Bind the Swirl of Chaos!
