Chapter 312 - FEAR!

-----

The Forbidden One couldn't believe it. He clearly had the advantage in raw power alone, but Chaos had already taken so many hits, yet he was still going on?!

He was relentless to the core! The worst part was that he had a regeneration power that made it possible for him to improve in expense of his own body being constantly turned into shreds!

Chaos eyes reacted incredibly quickly to the movements of the Forbidden One, as he continued to activate skills and conjure spells to enhance his senses and his thought process, all so he could continue intercepting more and more hits!

His bare hands had already been torn apart several times over already, but Chaos continued to relentlessly fight against the Forbidden One, clashing against his hard exoskeleton with his bare fist, which generated powerful shockwaves out of his palms!

BOOMMM!!!

"GRAAHH…!"

Suddenly, Chaos got a weak spot within the fragmented body of the Forbidden One!

"Got it!" thought Chaos, a defiant smile emerged on his lips!

Chaos had used several eyesight-enhancing skills and spells such as Eyesight Enhancement, Detection, Sense Presence, Pressure Point Scan, Five Senses Enhancement, and a dozen of more spells. Thanks to his insane Mana value, he was able to give himself the luxury of conjuring as many spells as he wanted.

Although normal magic no matter which one he conjured was simply blocked or absorbed by the Forbidden One's body, the magic that affected his own body wasn't affected, of course, so he was simply infinitely boosting his stats through the roof!

…Of course, it was impossible to infinitely boost his power, spell usage had limits, and so did bonus stats stacking. But he had so many elements that he could abuse this stacking of buffing spells to his heart's content as he simply used every buffing spell, he knew from every of the elements he had used.

The Forbidden One realized hat Chaos' entire body was unleashing an aura of multiple elements aside from simply Demise and Chaos, surprising him!

Chaos had used this power to discern the Forbidden One's body structure and realized that it was a like badly made puzzle, he was made out of many pieces stuck together forcefully by a core hidden deep beneath the hard exoskeleton.

He had to just hit this area very hard with all the power he could muster, and this would eventually cause an imbalance in the body structure of the Forbidden One, making him dizzy!

And well, this was exactly what was happening right now! Chaos concentrated enormous quantities of Mana into his very Palm, billions of Mana clashed against the Forbidden One's core area, which was protected by incredibly hard layers of armor!

BOOOOOMMM!!

"GRAAAHHH…!"

Another hit clashed against the seemingly surprised and weakened Forbidden One, as he realized that Chaos was not someone he could underestimate!

To begin with, it should be virtually impossible for Chaos to affect the core within the Forbidden One's body, but somehow, he was managing to do just this! Somehow, Chaos was becoming capable of unleashing strong vibrating shockwaves from his palms, infused with various elements, chaos, and demise all merged together!

The shockwave pierced through his layers of defense, directly affecting the core of the Forbidden One, where his Soul Fragment, the Forbidden One's Ego, was located!

"More…!" thought Chaos, as he continued to fight against the Forbidden One!

Their fist continued to clash against one another, Chaos couldn't use his armor, nor his weapons, everything would simply break, he now found himself forced to use his very body, and thanks to this, he was tapping into new and unknown powers within him which he had never realized he had before!

It was also as if… Chaos was figuring his own way to use martial arts, using all his powers and combining them together into his very body… he was creating his own original form of Martial Arts!

Unlike living beings, he lacked the power to generate Qi, but he had an overflowingly insane amount of Mana to compensate for it!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

His fist intercepted the Forbidden One's attacks, as the Forbidden One continued to grow more and more restless! He moved quickly. Jumped around and tried to evade and run from Chaos relentless charge, but Chaos continued to chase him down constantly, mercilessly and ruthlessly!

For a moment, within the mind of the Forbidden One, he felt a hint of…

FEAR!

"W-What is this monster?! How is he able to learn so quickly?! I-I am supposed to be a being of the Outer Universe, I have slain even Angels before! H-How can I struggle against this vermin?!" thought the Forbidden One's Ego, he was too filled with himself to even realize his own flaws, a glaring one being that he wasn't even the complete being he once used to be, but just a mishmash of his pieces stuck together with a fragment of his soul as its glue!

Of course he wasn't as strong as he used to be! If he were to realize and learn about his true strength as of now, he might be able to improve his own fighting style, but he was too stuck into the past, as someone that thought of himself as almighty, he was incapable of realizing his mistakes and his current situation!

Meanwhile, as Chaos desperately fought against the amalgamation of fragments of the Forbidden One, Aruliel groaned in agony, kneeling in floor while gritting her teeth.

Her eyes began to cry blood, as she groaned and began to hit herself in the floor!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"GRAAAAAAHHH…!"

She was trying to force her to wake up, to fight against the will of the Forbidden One within the fragments of her body!

"It is my body…! Let me… control it! It is mine!" she roared.

"Succumb to our power, you little dove!" said the fragments.

Within the mindscape of Aruliel, a fight of light against darkness was being unleashed!

The small figure of Aruliel fought against an endless darkness trying to constantly consume her!
