Chapter 442 - An Explosive Attack

-----

Tristan and Lancelot moved forward, one covered on lightning and the other on flames, both began to rotate as if they were drills in midair, using the power of their element, they unleashed an enormous, combined attack using both of their spears, all while Valen was being restrained by Aruliel and his mind was being attacked by Cthully!

CLAAAAAAASSSSHHHH!!!

The powerful spears began to pierce through Valen's chest, slowly yet steadily managing to get through the incredibly hard skin, flesh, and bones he had!

"Y-You bastards…! You dare…! AAGGH…!"

Valen couldn't help but groan in agony and anger, as his chest was blown off into pieces, and the rest of his body set ablaze as he was sent flying across the building, breaking through walls and the corridor, and then falling off the tower into the city down below!

"Uuugghh…!" Valen groaned, gritting his sharp teeth as he manipulated the power of blood and filled up the big wounds on his chest, an enormous hole that had burnt through his interior. However, no matter how much he tried to hasten the recovery, it was incredibly slow!

"T-The power of these divinities are nothing… But they managed to make such a big wound on my chest! Is this not regenerating because they sacrificed pieces of their own souls?!" Valen muttered, realizing that Tristan and Lancelot used pieces of their souls in their attacks. These pieces infected his wounds with foreign elements which he didn't master, filling him with energy from elements he couldn't properly manipulate, his blood elemental energy was powerful, but because the fire and lightning element energy was within his wounds, it was taking a long time to take away this energy interfering in the basic regeneration of his flesh.

Valen's mind was already adapting to the mind attack and the chains of Aruliel were broken too, but his chest had yet to recover and he felt slightly weakened all while falling from hundreds of meters above the ground.

FLAAAASH!

And then, a black and red blur emerged before his eyes, a chimera between a vampire and a dragon, wearing black and red clothes, and holding no other weapon than his bare fists and an enormous aura covering his entire body, which even contained the power of cosmic energy.

"Chaos! How…?! How are you alive?! I killed you- GUH?!"

Chaos entire army suddenly grew grotesquely huge and filled with the fragments of the Forbidden One to the point it resembled an enormous black armored titan hand, which he fused with several other skills! Using such an enormous arm, he hit Valen in the head, blowing it away with incredible force and speed!

CLAAAASSSHHHH!!!

The impact blew away Valen's head out of his body so strongly that the Vampire was unable to defend in time, his head flew across the air, as Chaos jumped towards his body to quickly attempt to devour him before he could even fight back!

"I don't know how you came back from death, but I'll make sure to send you there again!"

Valen's voice spoke through his head, as his body moved on his own, even if headless!

"Soul Weapon."

TRUUUUMMM…!

"Ngh?!"

Chaos was unable to stop Valen in time, even blowing away his head didn't killed him nor even knocked him out. An enormous quantity of blood energy and divine power converged on his right hand, as Valen's enormous soul weapon emerged!

"Agatha!" Roared Valen, calling into the name of his wondrous Soul weapon, a beautiful scarlet sword as long as two meters, sharp and beautifully decorated! He swung her in a single second, slashing dozens of times over Chaos' entire body!

"Divine Blood Blade Arts: Endless Scarlet Storm!"

Valen went serious from the get-go, unleashing a truly majestic Weapon Arts! He only swung his blade a single time, but it felt as if he had swung it endlessly, as countless scarlet slashing attacks showered over Chaos entire body and soul, generating a storm that could only slice through him!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"UNNGGHH?!"

Chaos saw his entire body being divided into tiny pieces, even his soul was completely sliced, hundreds of times! And Valen continued attacking even after the initial attack, as Chaos was swallowed in the storm of attacks!

"Know your place, you cockroach! No matter how much you attempt to stand back up, you cannot fight back against overwhelming STRENGTH!" Roared Valen, truly pissed off that Chaos was somewhat alive!

However, Chaos adapted to the situations surprisingly quickly! Even if his body was being slashed hundreds of times over, he controlled each piece of his body and his soul independently, like a swarm of bees, which flew directly towards Valen's body, evading his blade and then unifying into different masses of flesh across his body!

"W-What the?! What kind of monster are you?! …Ah! Is this how you survived?! You can even control a small piece of yourself?! So even when I killed you, if a small piece remained somewhere else, you revived!" Muttered Valen, unable to realize the incredible potential that Chaos had until now, but it was too late to go blabbering about his truest powers, as Chaos flesh took an unexpected turn!

…And EXPLODED!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

An explosion in each of Valen's limbs blew away his legs and arms, and even large chunks of his torso and several parts of his soul were also shattered through the explosions! Valen's mind couldn't help but grow completely speechless about what he was seeing!

"I-Impossible…! D-Did he just sacrificed himself to defeat me?! His entire body… his flesh… he detonated it all?! How do you expect me to know he would do such a thing!" Valen's head flew back to his torso, as his entire body was shredded into pieces, his Soul Weapon floated near him even without a hand to hold it, as his head finally unified with his torso once more and he stopped falling, stopping right in midair, his entire body was trying to regenerate back, but it was becoming increasingly difficult! His flesh, tendrils, bones, internal organs, and his blood vessels, all of it was taking forever to grow back…!
