ROAR!

A roar of unbridled rage and anger erupted from Kirii, whose might skyrocketed while his aura climbed high into the sky above. The lightning crystal on his forehead lit up brightly, a gleaming blue light illuminating the land.

Boom!

A beam of lightning erupted out from the crystal on Kirii’s head, instantly arriving before the overwhelming sword art. The two attacks collided, while Kirii’s body suddenly flashed as he disappeared from the sight of the erupting explosion. The explosion destroyed everything for miles in each direction, forming a massive crater in the earth hundreds of yards deep, while molten earth flowed within.

The lightning avatar’s gaze shifted to the side as it locked onto Kirii once more, who had appeared over a mile away from the explosion, his speed beyond compare. Wrapped within  Kirii’s protective aura was Laia, whose face had become pale as snow, both from fright and fatigue.

The lightning avatar raised its sword to slash out another attack, when it suddenly unleashed it sideways..

“Fuck off! Your opponent is me!” John raged as he unleashed another Advent of Annihilation.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The battle between John and the blood red lightning avatar continued to rage on, the might of each attack capable of shattering mountains. John pushed his Asura Transformation Art to the limit as he battled his fathers youthful avatar, who attacked with the profundity of a heavenly god.

The avatar flashed backwards and unleashed another divine sword art straight at John. His battle axe suddenly shifted to his left hand, as his scythe appeared in his right. Blood red swords continued to slash against his body as they pierced through his lightning domain, but John ignored as his battle axe slashed outwards, protecting his heart and head.

At the same time, his scythe raised above his head for a brief moment before slashing forward. An incredible black and red scythe image of overwhelming sharpness and speed slashed outwards, instantly meeting the divine sword image.

The two attacks collided, but unlike before, an explosion did not occur. Instead, the sharpness of both attacks cleaved into each other as both attacks sliced apart the other. The two halves of each weapon image were rent apart, fading into nothingness.

A small smirk appeared on John’s face as he stared at the lightning avatar, who paused for the briefest of moments.

“You’re not the only one with a strong battle art!” John mocked, although underneath that mocking was surprise. He could tell that despite the battle arts canceling out, the divine sword image was still slightly more profound than his Divine Reaping Scythe. The profundity of his Divine Reaping Scythe had always been beyond compare, yet for the first time John had discovered something even beyond it.

However, the profundities were almost the same, allowing him to thwart the attack of the lightning avatar.

‘Each divine sword attack the lightning avatar unleashed drains its power by a bit. While the strength of the attacks do not lessen, I can tell that the energy reserves of the avatar are starting to wane. Its sword domain also uses an incredible amount of energy as well. In a battle of attrition, I would lose out ten out of ten times, but this time is different. This time I have Laia on my side.’

Che!

Another divine sword image slashed out, which was met by another Divine Reaping Scythe. John felt his essence Qi reserve drop with each attack, but was confident in holding out Qi wise until the end of the battle. Without Laia, his injuries would have already added up to a crippling degree, greatly affecting his combat prowess, and making a battle of attrition impossible. Even his soul screamed out with pain from the attacks, but her power would soothe that soul damage, erasing it from existence. Her awe-inspiring healing powers made that battle of attrition impossibility possible, which filled John with growing confidence.

An Advent of Annihilation cleaved outwards, slamming against the lightning avatar after John had created an opening in their battle. The powerful battle art cleaved deeply into the lightning avatars body, nearly severing it in half. However, the lightning avatar instantly healed its wounds, restoring its combat state to maximum at the cost of a small amount of its Qi reserves.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The battle continued to rage out in the sky, the might of both fighters beyond heaven defying. Thanks to his Divine Reaping Scythe, John was able to neutralize most of the divine sword images and finally gain firm footing in his battle. He landed several unguarded Advent of Annihilations, which caused the avatar to expend more energy to heal.

Learning from its past mistake, the Heavens above allowed such attacks to land, and only focused on the Divine Reaping Scythes. Its spatial power was able to inflict grave damage, and resulted in much more energy to heal. As a result, John had been unable to land any scythe attacks on his opponent, much to his dismay.

John clicked his tongue in frustration, but continued his assault, as he could tell the Qi reserves of the avatar were lessening by the second. His own Qi reserves were starting to near its end as well, but would last just long enough for the battle to end.

Shudder!

John felt a slight tremble in his soul, and his body felt an increasing wave of pain as the wounds caused by the blood red sword’s that slashed against him lingered longer. John felt the healing energy within his body waver slightly, and his gaze instantly shifted to the ground below.

He spotted Laia kneeling on the shattered ground, her face as pale as snow. Sweat dripped down her face and had soaked her dress, while her breathing was heavy and ragged. Her aura was starting to fade and become unsteady, as John could tell that she was at the end of her ropes.

‘Shit…I failed to notice Laia’s state. At this rate, she’ll run out of Qi before the lightning avatar!’

His battle of attrition would no longer work, as once Laia’s healing energy fully faded away, his combat prowess would fade away afterwards as well. If that happened, his death would soon follow.
