1929 Chapter 1929. Facing Satan’s Ultimate Skill
When the soul and chaos spinning ball dispersed, Satan was visible again. His HP was half now. The wings he had used to protect himself were no longer burning. The bones forming those wings had cracks and broke in two places.
"Impressive, Storm Wind," Satan said. He then asked, "Can you repeat all this again? You managed to bring my life to half in such a short ti. If you can do it again, you will be able to defeat ."
Jack smiled wryly. He couldn't repeat the Demonize Weapon and Overlimit since those were his weapon skills, but he could repeat the series of assaults following his first strike by using Reset. However, he doubted he could land those assaults as easily. Satan underestimated him in the beginning. He had utilized that to score the combos. The situation was different now.
'Satan's defense increases as his HP lowers,' Jack received Peniel's ssage. This further reduced the chance of him pulling off the sa feat.
"Thank you, Storm Wind," Satan said.
"… For what?" Jack asked.
"For this exciting battle."
Finished speaking, the flas on Satan's wings were rekindled. The broken bones didn't grow back, but the flas made them look as good as new.
A different fla also burned on Satan's body. These flas looked gentler than his Fla Rage. Following these flas, recovery numbers appeared above Satan. This recovery far exceeded the number from his natural HP recovery.
"Fla ditation!" Peniel exclaid. "It's a variant from Battle Monk's ditate. Don't let him stay still! Or all your efforts are wasted!"
"Damn it! As if this isn't difficult enough," Jack cursed and charged forward.
Satan stood his ground. He cast Fire Shell for protection. He spat fiery lances at the incoming Jack. Jack swerved to the side, evading the lances.
Satan waited until Jack was close enough before he used Infernal Fire Breath. The wide reach of the breath rendered Jack unable to dodge, but Jack had many skills at his disposal.
Jack zood away using Wind Dash. The three dashes of his skill brought him to Satan's back. The ten golden orbs from his back combined into a giant golden axe this ti. He perford One-word Slash using that axe. The axe sliced through the fiery shell but was halted when multiple fiery rings bound it. One of these fiery rings also attempted to bind Jack, but Jack flew away before it did. Yet, before he moved far, he felt an invisible force grabbed him.
"Ugh…," He couldn't move no matter how hard he tried.
He realized then he had been caught by Satan. The devil cast Extre Telekinesis after casting the Fire Bind. Jack's augnted power still couldn't compete with Satan in terms of raw strength. He was pulled toward Satan.
Satan never moved from his spot, so the fla ditation continued to heal him. Jack floated to him under his influence. When his hand was about to grab Jack, Jack vanished.
Jack used Void Walk to escape. He reappeared next to Satan's head and perford another Fla Strike. While he hoped the spatial distortion to disorient Satan and give him the opportunity to land a strike, it didn't go as hoped. Satan tilted his head away right when Jack reappeared. The spatial distortion failed to hit him.
Unlike before, Satan no longer underestimated Jack. He had expected Jack to have a way to flee from his Extre Telekinesis.
Max-level Void Walk let Jack teleport five tis. He could still do it another four tis, so he vanished again. This ti, he reappeared next to one of Satan's legs. While the devil could easily tilt his upper body, he couldn't do so with his legs unless he wanted to move and end his Fla ditation.
Yet, before Jack could hit the leg, he sensed danger from above. He quickly warped again, just as a flaming spear ca piercing where he was an instant ago. Satan had reford his flaming weapon. His acute mana sense and fast reaction allowed him to follow Jack's Void Walk.
The spatial distortion of Void Walk might have hit Satan's leg, but the devil's stature was too big for the distortion to affect Satan as a whole being. His leg went numb from the distortion, but his hands up there were unaffected. He continued to swing his flaming weapon at Jack when he reappeared.
Due to this, Jack failed to land any hit even after expending all five teleports. To make matters worse, Satan remained at the sa spot. His Fla ditation never stopped.
"Okay, big guy. You asked for it!" Jack moved away. He then made a slashing motion.
Satan was ready to tank whatever Jack attempted to throw at him, but what he sensed made him change his mind. He ended the Fla ditation and moved away, just as a big tear in space appeared.
The tear ca from Jack's Void-tearing Slash. The tear was very large due to the skill being maxed stars. Its max stars also gave it insane pulling power. The wide area it covered caused Satan to fail to escape in ti. He was at the tear's edge but was still affected. He received the chaos damage from the skill and had trouble pulling himself away.
While Satan was fighting the void's pulling power, Jack rained down ranged spells on the devil.
A ring of silver and dark purple materialized before Satan. This ring blocked all of Jack's spells. Jack rembered seeing this ring when he watched the war from Chris' spy tool. This seed to be Satan's ultimate defense skill. He had been wondering why the devil didn't use this ring to block the Soul and Chaos Spinning Ball earlier. Probably, he finally pushed the devil enough to force him to go all out.
It was the ti when he fought against Master. When both Master and he were using the divine forms of their divine skills. Master was in Wind God Incarnation at the ti. Similar to the Lightning God Incarnation, the Wind God Incarnation had a finishing blow where the user released an explosive power that hit everything within the vicinity. But instead of that standard form, Master's finishing attack was altered to a beam attack. This was the sa as Satan's current move.

After stopping Jack's spells, Satan shoved the Soul and Chaos Ring of Defense into the void that was still pulling at him. As he did, Jack witnessed sothing that made his eyes go wide. The ring sliced through and cut the void. A clear line appeared in the middle of the void. The spatial distortion went rogue, and the chaotic energies of the void collapsed on itself. The skill was ended before its full duration.
"That defensive ring can be used for offense as well…?" Jack muttered.
"I'm enjoying this, but you are getting on my nerves, Storm Wind," Satan said. His body changed color. One half was silver, and the other was dark purple. "Sorry, but I'm ending this. Begone!"
Satan brought his two hands together.
"Do you want Invulnerability?!" Peniel asked in a hurry.
"No need!" Jack exclaid.
A massive beam of silver and dark purple poured out of Satan's hands. This was not the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction, but the Soul and Chaos Extinguishing Cannon with higher firepower. Jack was too small. The wide area of this skill rendered Jack unable to dodge. Even if he used a fast-moving skill, Satan could easily redirect the beam to chase after Jack.
While the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction's destructive energy hit instantly, the Soul and Chaos Extinguishing Cannon lasted quite a while. That's why Satan chose this version of the skill. He intended to finish Jack with this one hit. He didn't believe an outworlder with limited HP could survive against this skill.
Ever since witnessing this skill from Chris' spy tool, Jack had thought about what to do if he was at the receiving end. He had a couple of skills he could use. One was the Ghost Form, but he was not using that spell.
The silver and dark purple beam washed over Jack. Jack just stayed there as he watched the energies pass him by. He could sense how destructive these energies were. Even with his high HP and using all available defensive buffs, he still wouldn't survive getting hit by these energies.
Fortunately, none of these destructive energies touched him. The one that rushed at him from the front continued charging at him, but they never arrived. This was because there was a vast distance of stretched space between him and the beam. A space distorted by the Void Defense skill.
"Do you think this beam lasts longer than thirty seconds?" Jack asked Peniel.
"It didn't seem to last that long when he used it against Eoranth," Peniel answered.
Jack had also witnessed the incident Peniel ntioned. He didn't think what he saw then to be absolute. There was a chance Satan simply stopped the beam because Eoranth had been pushed outside the beam's effective range.
One thing piqued his curiosity after experiencing this skill at close range. This Soul and Chaos Extinguishing Cannon was a result of form manipulation. He could sense the mana molding this skill. This took him back to sothing from the past. He had seen the exact sa Form Manipulation before.
It was the ti when he fought against Master. When both Master and he were using the divine forms of their divine skills. Master was in Wind God Incarnation at the ti. Similar to the Lightning God Incarnation, the Wind God Incarnation had a finishing blow where the user released an explosive power that hit everything within the vicinity. But instead of that standard form, Master's finishing attack was altered to a beam attack. This was the sa as Satan's current move.
This made Jack wonder. Did Master already learn Form Manipulation, then?
