The duke went flying.
Booms after booms rang as he broke through every single wall in his way and crushed pillar after pillar of the very place that held his market up.
It was al futile though.
In monts, he managed to regain his balance and charged back at .
"EUGENE HALL!"
He scread as he ca closer.
Fool.
With a flick of my fingers, the psychokinesis holding up the structure of the cave was undone and all of it ca crashing down. Hundreds of screams resounded as patrons of the black market were turned into mush, and with them was buried within the Duke.
The shields all around , I flew out the cave system and into the wide forest.
The captives were already being taken away by Shilon who was joined by the Albert and the gang. They seed to have their hands busy, though, with the seemingly unending number of soldiers charging at the captives.
"[Spatial Magic: Domain Crush]!"
A scream sounded in the air as the fallen cave below was captured and crushed entirely. The giant debris and remains of the rocks turned into dust under the duke's magic as he slowly started floating up again.
The forest was set ablaze, the night sky was dyed crimson.
The true battle.
Now began.
"[Spatial Magic: Distance]"
The space I stood in warped and rged before I was sent flying away almost outside the forest. The lines of shields behind my back seed useless as the space itself was being changed.
My Ki focused into my eyes and the duke in the distance filled my sight.
I had already usurped the mana and the ki not just around us but all the way to the capital. His speed was a tad too slow.
With a single thought, a hundred swords of Ki ford in the air and stabbed into the duke.
"Gah!" He scread lightly as he used another spell to get rid of all the ones around him.
But a distraction was all it was.
As soon as his spell broke, I fell down to the ground and dashed ahead. The burning trees were left behind as I put out all my horse riding experience into a sprint.
Within the blink of an eye, I was near the duke again.
I jumped straight ahead and sent out a kick.
The duke waved his hand and the space around my feet grew imperable, almost as if frozen in spot.
My hand was already chanting up another spell.
The man sent a bolt of lightning at point blank.
I tilted my head.
Another.
Dodged.
A different spell chanted in my hands as I swung them outward.
"[Gale of Destruction]"
The gale of destruction went tumbling outward at the duke. Almost about to hit him, when.
"[Freeze Space]"
It was rendered useless too.
Things were getting incessantly annoying.
The duke tried to send a barrage of attacks raining down at , but my shields covered and cancelled them all.
The lee of back and forth raged. The ground around us was gouged out while the skies started to tremble. Every attack was countered by another.
Over and over, he would use his spatial spells and send flying, and over and over, I would use my Ki and destroy his spells.
This was a war of attrition.
A war of attrition I was sure to lose.
Dragging this out any longer was just going to be a loss to .
I charged ahead at the duke once more. His hamring dragons lunged at my head, but I dodged with a swerve downward.
"Catene."
The chains around my arm whirred.
"Modo Attacio."
The chains glowed a deep black as they slowly started to turn into a sword. The duke didn't let this go. Ten more dragons ca rushing my way.
Using all my Ki, I faked a jump upward—
"Hm!?"
And dived underground. Through one end of the cave's debris, I hid my presence completely and erged from right behind him.
The duke turned.
I punched with my free hand.
"Useless!" He scread, but all the ti I needed was here.
The mana and Ki cores within whirred as their very structure rged at and within Catene. The ego weapon whirred, filled with energy like none other in the entire world.
I set my foot down.
The duke's eyes widened.
In a single, unhesitant stroke, I swung the blade forward.
"[World's End Slash]"
A flash spread.
The energy of the slash slowly moved ahead.
The duke could tell.
Sothing was off.
"[Spatial Magic: Freeze Space]!! [Spatial Magic: Distance], [Spatial Magic: Domain Crush]"
A combo of three spells while running away, the duke used the most of his skills in an attempt to stop the swing.
But it was useless.
The World's End cut through the space itself, ending everything in its path.
"W-what!?"
The duke scread, the crescent of the slash tore through all and approached his person.
In that mont, I ran.
Moving straight next to him, I swung my sword at his neck.
The slash and the blade t at the sa ti.
He couldn't say a word.
As his neck rolled, and body disappeared from the surface of existence.
Blood drained on the rock below while the raging fire continued.
The sword in my hand glowed once more and turned back into chains. With my fists clenched, I looked down at myself.
"That was a really well controlled slash, Eugy."
Titania's words fell.
It was an energy I myself had created. But to think I had to use my trump card to win the battle with just any fucking loser…
"I need to grow stronger… I'll be in your care, Titania."
"Heh. Of course, I'll guide you to heights you'll never reach alone."
With a smirk, I looked away.
Standing near the ground, away from the rubble of the debris, was Albert.
"So?" He asked.
I rolled the Duke's head under my feet and kicked it over. It curved in the air and fell flat in front of Albert.
He smiled as pulled out two more heads from behind his back. Those of Alexander and Mary Fonias.
"The Fonias has fallen."
