Chapter 425-Battle with the God of Darkness (2)
Dave's movements improved with every passing minute, resembling a wild animal relying solely on instinct, seeing Azrael as prey.
Azrael felt the same feeling he had when faced the Assassin King before.
He realized he was losing in close combat. Even as a God, he acknowledged his current limits, knowing he hadn't fully tapped into his powers.
He used this realization as an explanation for his wounded pride.
"Shit!"
Boom!
Dave's fist struck Azrael's nose, causing his godly body to feel the pain from Dave's constant attacks.
Azrael's body was still in an infant, not fully developed stage when he was reincarnated, but it was proving to be more than enough to challenge everyone in that place.
Moreover, Dave possessed the body of a titan, capable of rivaling dragons, gods, and demons when trained to its fullest potential.
Struggling to stop Dave's Law of Life and its contribution to his regeneration skills, Azrael found Dave to be remarkably resilient.
Azrael hadn't anticipated that Dave's Law of Life would sustain him even within the confines of Azrael's domain, rendering him nearly immortal.
He was unaware that Dave possessed an exceptional ability to bypass restrictions, enabling him to freely utilize his Law of Life.
Crack!
Just as Dave was about to launch another attack, the dark domain vanished, and they returned to the royal clan's domain.
"Huh?"
"Why did you remove our so-called domain? I was just starting to enjoy it,"
Dave was perplexed by Azrael's decision to lift the domain.
"I acknowledge your tenacity. Raw power alone won't be sufficient to end you. It's time to get serious and conclude this,"
Azrael materialized before Dave, wielding a menacing black spear aimed at Dave's brain.
<Spear of Darkness>
Boom!
Dave attempted to thwart the attack using his spatial energy, but he sensed the space cracking.
Crack!
Boom!
The spear punctured the space shield, momentarily stunning Dave, although it failed to breach his body.
"Hmm, you're quite resilient, but that's as far as it goes,"
<Law of Life>
Dave chuckled, and his body had already reverted to its original state, unblemished.
Examining his bare, muscular torso, he noticed all the marks from Azrael's attacks had vanished.
His physique felt even more robust and powerful.
He clenched his fists, smiled, and declared, "The warm-up has concluded."
Initially relying on his own physique, Dave soon realized the immense disparity between their physical strengths.
Even his titan physique proved inferior to a god's physique. He plotted to fortify his body until even gods would feel despair.
<Buddy, come out>
Drawing his Extinguisher Sword, it emitted an overwhelming aura of death.
"Buddy, let's have a grand battle,"
Dave laughed and brandished his sword at Azrael.
Azrael examined the sword and sensed it was no ordinary weapon.
<Purple Lightning Sword Technique>
The blade crackled with bolts of purple lightning, and Azrael could feel the immense power.
"How? Is that the Tribulation Lightning?"
He was dumbfounded, knowing that even the God of Lightning had failed to tame such lightning.
Boom!
Despite being an energy construct, Azrael's spear shattered.
Swoosh!
Dave's sword sliced through some of Azrael's hair, taking him by surprise with its terrifying technique.
"Yes, and I'll use it to cleave through your empty skull,"
Dave laughed and slashed his sword once more.
"Arghh, you're infuriating me!"
Azrael continuously shielded himself with dark energy, but the lightning pierced his defenses.
"Arghh!"
Dave thrust his sword into Azrael's body, and it began to absorb his blood.
Azrael lost some blood but responded with a mocking expression rather than fear.
Dave realized something was amiss, so he withdrew his sword and leaped away from Azrael.
Boom!
Dave observed Azrael, noting that the wound he had inflicted healed instantly.
"Haha, you've fallen into my trap,"
Azrael laughed, sensing he had acquired something extraordinary.
"That sword is surely coated with that Black Slime, am I right?"
"The Black Slime owned by the Demon God?"
"The same slime coveted by even the gods but lost since the disappearance of the Demon God?"
"How marvelous to find it here and claim it,"
Azrael, one of the oldest gods, had encountered the Demon God before, though they had never seen the Demon God himself.
He laughed manically, and Dave hadn't anticipated that the Black Slime was one of the possessions of the Demon God.
It seemed that everything was interconnected and planned.
"It's mine, so how can you possess it? You can't even kill me,"
Dave smirked, sensing Azrael's confidence.
Azrael laughed and remarked, "Hehe, as long as my blood falls on other treasures, it will corrupt them and make them mine. It's an innate talent no one else knows, haha. Except for you, but you won't leave this place alive."
Suddenly, Dave noticed that his Extinguisher Sword appeared to be losing its connection to him.
Dave's eyes narrowed, and he hadn't anticipated Azrael's statement to be accurate.
Dave didn't want to lose such a valuable item, so he stowed it back in his spatial storage and sealed it temporarily.
"Wait for me to dispatch this wretched Azrael, and I'll recover you,"
Dave muttered and glanced at Azrael, who appeared bewildered, unable to detect the sword despite his attempts.
"Huh?"
"Where did you put it? Even if you concealed it in a space ring, I should still be able to detect it,"
Azrael was unaware of Dave's unique storage system.
Dave smirked and replied, "I am the only one who steals, and I will never be stolen from by others."
Dave smirked and added, "Let's continue."
"I'm tired of playing with you. It's time to send you to the afterlife for good."
<Law of Light>
<Light of Binding>
Suddenly, a radiant light enveloped Azrael, leaving him stunned.
Light was his vulnerability, yet Dave possessed this skill.
"How can a mere law affect my Absolute Darkness?"
Azrael sneered with confidence.
Boom!
The light was obliterated, and Dave realized there was something even more potent than a law - something absolute.
His Law of Light crumbled, and he understood that laws alone wouldn't be enough to defeat Azrael.
