Chapter 376 Two Chosen Ones Can't Coexist, So You Must Die! 2



"Linnaella J. Karitis, it's an honor to meet one of the most powerful beings of--

[If you don't abandon in ten seconds, I'll kill you without remorse.]

The man in white, from head to toe, retorted these words before Linn finished presenting herself.

She frowned at the excessive pride of the monarch of light who stood with his hands crossed behind his back.

[Tss~, I had heard rumors about you, but I would never have believed our goddess could create such an imperfect being.] Even if she had a smile on her face, the glow in her eyes showed that she was angry with him.

[...]

But the monarch of light did not say anything; he remained there, timing the time in his head.

'Tsk, I know this guy is strong, but I'm unlike before. And it's not an asshole that would make me give up such an exciting battle.' She said to herself while catching the void.

-Craack!!

Simultaneously, space cracked, and a long transparent sword appeared in her hand as if she had just torn it from the space debris.

[...]

But despite her actions, The Monarch of Light was always calm in the face of her actions.

|Primordial area: Chaotic space!|

While murmuring these words under her tongue, the space around her collapsed like a mirror that broke around her, leaving only the absolute black around her that gradually spread until it engulfed the monarch of light in the dark black.

At the same time, her silhouette began with strange changes, starting with her skin that became scaly blue, followed by the four transparent white horns that pushed on her head as crown-shaped because of their abnormal curves forming a circle.

And the next moment, three pairs of gigantic black wings appeared on her back as the nano-seconds flowed second by second.

And to top it all off, her eyes regained their starry blue glimmers, and her hair also began to show the same color as her eyes and became a long braided ponytail with a pointed needle at the end.

[Aither Shiro, one of the three monarchs under the command of her highness.]

After seeing her manifest her primordial form, the monarch of light answered after guessing that she did not want to surrender.

"...Show me why you inherited the title of the monarch." Retorted Linn with a twisted smile while targeting Aither with the thousands of spatial blades that appeared after she destroyed the space around her.

Her primordial domain looks like the inside of Alvine's black hole. But unlike the latter, it had no suction force or obstruction of senses. But on the other hand, she had absolute control of her territory and could exterminate any existence inside without needing to use her energy.

But what differed this spatial domain from Alvine's was absolute control of space flux! Seen like that, it's not crazy, but in practice, it becomes something else.

As for Aither, seeing the spatial blades rush towards him, he sighed slightly and manifested a blinding white aura that was no different from that of Reha and Sylvia regarding its color.

But on the other hand, its ferocity was incomparable compared to Sylvia's.

-....!

Instantly, Linn's spatial blades vanished just as they came into contact with Aither's aura in total silence, but only in appearance.

Thanks to her perception, Linn could still see her spatial blades, but it was just that they became white as soon as they tried to deal with the Aither.

'...He corrupted them by using his aura on them?' Linn whispered, frowning.

[I hate black.] Aither's murmuring voice resonated in his slight white glow as he briefly looked at Linn's spatial blades with a platitude.

"Are you not going to transform? Or maybe you think it's not worth taking care of my case?" Linn asked, frowning.

[You don't know? I'm a human, so what do you think I'll have to transform myself into?]

"Huh? A human? You mean...a human like any other?" Linn stammered confusedly, not believing what she had just heard.

[...]

"..." But in front of his silence, she became more confused about this disbelief.

[Sigh, enough chatting; the ten seconds have passed, so die.]

While he calmly uttered these words as if it were as easy as blinking, Linn's absolute darkness and spatial blades suddenly turned white and booed toward her without Aither making any movement.

-!

Linn remained speechless when she saw the monarch of light take control of her primordial domain and turn all her advantage against her.

And the worst thing was that her spatial blades were now entirely white on a white background! That made them invisible to the naked eye.

And to top it all off, spatial blades were omnipresent in her primordial domain, which now belongs to Aither, so there was no possibility of leakage or hope to avoid them.

"Tsk, don't piss off me!" She growled with a frustrated mood by letting the hundreds of thousands of spatial blades stab her body as Aither had wanted.

-Crack! Crack!!.... Crack!!!

But the next moment, Aither frowned slightly, noticing that the spatial blades were breaking in the face of the hardness of the scales spread over Linn's body.

'I expected her to be out of danger of death, but it's a feat that she could get out unscathed without scratches.' He whispers these words while paying attention to the scaly armor all over Linn's body, except his face.

'Would her head be her weak point? Sigh, it's too obvious for this to be the case. In addition, even if she’s immunized against the attacks of the spatial attribute, I had taken ahead to change the attributes of some spatial blades into a light blade. So she must really have a painful and resistant shell beyond my forecasts. - In this case, I have only one option to confirm my hypothesis.' With this conclusion, he scribed magical runes in the void before the offensive salvo finished disturbing Linn.

...

After a minute of continuous attack, Linn frowns when she sees the suspicious actions of Aither.

'Tsk, I had doubts at first, but it seems that he is really the person who took care of the divine tribulations.' She said to herself when she saw the runes of Aither turn into a gigantic white portal.

|Emptiness!|

She then murmured, eradicating all the spatial blades that disturbed her movements and action, with a tiny small black hole she formed around her.

After finishing sucking all the spatial blades, she also created a small blue portal and sank her hand into it before taking her out with a long black sword with a dark blue crystal inlaid on its guard.

-Grrrrr!!!

At the same time, a golden dragon made of divine lightning crossed the portal of Aither and stared at Linn with his eyes while maintaining his position.

Even if he lacked soul, he did not dare attack Linn when he saw the black sword in his hand.

-Dark frown.

Aither also frowned as he inspected Linn's weapon with bright eyes.

[A primordial sword, huh?] He then murmured in a calm voice.

But Linn did not answer his question. Instead, she tightened the wrist of her sword while murmuring...

|Space concept: Vacuum Saber!|

-Slash!

She said, cutting the vacuum in front of her.

-!!

At the same time, Aither erected a transparent spherical shield around his body despite being a hundred meters from Linn.

-BAMMMM!!!

Simultaneously, his shield trembled fiercely and turned into two separate parts, unable to resist Linna's invisible attack that had just hit his barrier.

But as a last defense, he concentrated his primordial energy in his hand and tried to stop Linn's attack with his bare hand.

But unlike him, his bolt dragon did not have the chance to resist Linn's attack; the energy of her life blade cut the body of the golden dragon into two distinctive parts, starting with his head.

-Keukh!

After three seconds of strenuous efforts, Aither finally repelled Linn's sharp aura with pearls of sweat.

But he had also lost two of his five fingers because of his disregard in front of his opponent.

'Tsk!' Linn slammed her tongue when she saw her attack countered by Aither.

She then made another vertical slash toward him.

-Swhoooshhh!!

-Clang!!!

But unlike her previous attack, accompanied by a surprise effect, Aither no longer underestimated her power; he also showed an immaculate white sword and made a horizontal slash that impacted Linn's before they disappeared together with equal force.

After seeing this phenomenon, Aither's expression darkened, and he watched his right-hand bleed after countering Linn's previous attack.

'Sigh, She reached the same rank as me and Corrupt. I now understand where her herself trust came from.' He said to himself with a strange smile that emerged on his lips for the first time.

-D00M!!

[Since when?] He coldly asked as he released all his aura.

-Dark frown.

Seeing the aura, smile and glow in Aither's eyes, Linn's soft smile also became cold.

"Finally, we can get down to serious things, Sir Aither." She pronounced coldly while also releasing all her aura that she had retained from the beginning.

[...! Tss~, it's interesting. I would never have expected to meet such an entertaining opponent.] Seeing the primordial energy around Linn that competed with his, a glimmer of surprise passed through his pupils before he laughed excitedly.

"... Let's start the real battle if you don't mind." Retorted Linn, pointing her sword at him.

[Of course, it goes for sure. So show me what you have in reserve.] While shouting these words loudly, his silhouette turned into a mirage.

-Swhoooshhh!

And in a thousandth of a second, he appeared one meter from Linn with the tip of his sword whistling towards her throat.

-CLANG!!

"Heheh! Of course, that's my intention!" Retorted Linn countering his attack with the gutter of her sword, which was the hardest part of her weapon.

As a result of the impact of their attacks, the flows of their auras ravaged each and around them to the point of creating spatial dust that could pierce a divine planet to its core.

But the two battle fanatics didn't care about the consequences of their actions; they continued to exchange sword strokes mixed with their fists going so far as to cast some destructive spells, each of which would complete any divine magus immediately.

-Keukh!!!

After a minute of rain of offensive attacks, without worrying about their defenses, the two walked away from each other with cuts on their bodies due to their mutual attacks.

Their sword and clothes were entirely painted with their golden blood, but despite the deep wounds to their bones, they both wore euphoric and sadistic expressions on their lips.

But instantly, their wounds regenerated at the same speed, still proving that they were of equal force.

ραпdαn૦νel [Hahah! I never thought I would have dreamed of such a day!] Retorted Aither, laughing with joy.

"What about me?! I would never have thought that monarchs could be so entertaining." Linn's sadistic smile was not inferior to that of Aither’s, and she also breathed in the same way as him.

[Well, well, your sword mastery is worthy of a noble knight.] He said with an enjoying smile.

"Heh, I can say the same thing for you. But unfortunately, it's time to decide the winner." Linn retorted with the same feeling as Aither.

Then, hearing her verdict, Aether's smile stiffened on his lips as he returned to reality.

[It's a shame, but two chosen ones must not exist, so let's finish in Linnaella J. Karitis, queen of space.]

"You are right; it's such a waste that we must kill each other to defend our principles." Linn also sadly sighed as she raised her sword above her head, followed by her primordial aura that channeled into it.

[Sigh, it's time to end this entertainment.] Aither retorted these words with a dismayed air as he also posed as a holy knight by holding the wrist of his sword with his two hands in front of his chest.

|Concept of light: the ultimate punishment!|

Simultaneously, Linn was also murmuring two hundred meters from him...

|Space concept: absolute emptiness!|

----SLICE!
