Chapter 443 - Valen's Desperate Move!

-----

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…!

"Hahhh… Hahhh… Chaos… Y-You bastard!" Muttered Valen in anger, thinking that Chaos had killed himself to weaken him to this extent! He quickly realized his entire body and the wounds were all cursed, and he was unable to lift the curse quickly! The wounds were in fact rotting away quickly as well, as if his flesh was melting away into a soup.

"Uuuuggh…!" Valen quickly decided to use his Soul Weapon and cut down all the wounds from the depths of his flesh, while attempting to regenerate again, but being unable to! Ultimately, he decided to use his own soul and blood energy to create temporarily legs and arms that were rather phantasmal and translucent. But still, he couldn't help but grow more angered and frustrated over he humiliation he was going through. "D-Damn Chaos! Did he really die?! Where is he even- Huh?!"

Right as Valen was about to find Chaos wherever he went, a Fallen Angel girl emerged above him! She was covered in strange horns and black tattoos in one side of her body, and even her white feathered wings had grown black-colored, alongside her hair, and her shiny blue eye turned crimson-red!

"A-Angel?!" Asked Valen, a second after, Aruliel caught up to him and attacked him! Her bare fists were incredibly strong compared to the small body she had, and the claws that were merged with the fragments of the Forbidden One were spectacularly strong, slashing and punching through his weakened body, and also his soul!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"S-So strong! Is she really an angel?! No… this power are fragments of the Forbidden One! Where did she even got them?! And how can she even control them?! I have tried countless of times to use such fragments but it was impossible, I had to sell them off somewhere else!" Thought Valen. "Yet this angel-looking girl can control them so perfectly?!"

"AGATHA!!!"

Although Valen was losing in the match of fists against Aruliel, he quickly tipped the scales as he summoned his Soul Weapon once more, holding it with his right phantasmal soul hand and then beginning to unleash powerful Blade Arts. The sharp Soul Weapon was capable of slashing through Aruliel's attacks, and even her chains of judgement were unable to restrain Valen anymore with his blade at his hand.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Her hands were being deeply damaged, and even the claws of the forbidden one fragments were breaking and being sliced, but thanks to their ability to self-regenerate, Aruliel decided to cover her two arms with them and also her legs, forming a dark armor over parts of her body, which she used to unleash several wild attacks!

"RRAAAAAAHHH!"

Although Aruliel was in full control of her powers now, she realized that the best way to fight using the power of the fragments was by merely going completely insane against Valen!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAAASH!

She began to clash against his blade, each wound over her armor was swiftly regenerated, and even when Valen unleashed several magic spells such as spears, swords, and other projectiles made of blood, or when he attempted to manipulate her own blood, they ended being all futile against her Heavenly Magic Barrier, which could only be pierced by his Soul Weapon!

CLAAAAAASHH!!!

"Y-You're a hardy fighter, girl…!" Said Valen. "You have forced me to use the thing I stole from your friend…" Valen had no other choice, as he quickly grabbed a Black Jewel from his divine realm and swallowed it!

"What?!" Aruliel looked at Valen in surprise, as his entire body suddenly exploded in new energy and power, Mana, Chaos Energy, and Blood Energy began to converge within his entire body, as he started to grow bigger! He gained the ability to regenerate once more, but he suddenly started to transform into a monstrous humanoid giant, as many tentacles, eyes, jaws, and more emerged over his entire body! Only a few seconds have passed since he began fighting with Aruliel and he already was trying to use some sort of strange trump card!

"UUUOOGHH…! M-My body… it is transforming into a horrid monster…?! Uuggh…! B-But this power…! I am overflowing with chaotic power! So this was the jewel that Chaos used… Hahahahaha!" Laughed Valen, drowning himself in the immense power he had gained, his body grew tens of meters tall, and he resembled a fleshy humanoid giant covered by tentacles and red-shot eyes! Even Agatha, his soul weapon changed, growing bigger and dark, covered completely in chaos and blood!

"VANISH!" Roared Valen, as he swung his gigantic blade against Aruliel! She tried to shield herself with several barriers of Heaven magic and Dark Magic, alongside covering herself with several layers of exoskeleton and claws to protect herself from the impact she was unable to avoid due to its immensely fast speed!

SLAAAAASSSHHHH!

The enormous slash attack was loaded with the power of Valen's soul, chaos, and blood energies alongiside his mana and divine energy, converging together into an immensely strong slashing blow!

CLAAAAASSSHHH!!!

"U-Uuaaaaaggh…!" Aruliel tried to resist the blow, but it quickly pierced through all her defensive measures and was about to slice her in half!

However, two knights, one covered on flames and the other on lighting flew towards her rescue, grabbing her and putting her away from the danger of Valen's fury!

FLAAASSHH!

Meanwhile, the slashing attack reached the tower, slicing it in half and completely destroying it! the entire tower began to fall over the ruined city down below, as Valen looked at the two knights that had initially attacked him alongiside the tentacled woman, Cthully, with his various, red-shot eyes.

"You…" Said Valen with a terrifying and distorted voice, his hatred against these people was endless.
