1929 Chapter 1929. Facing Satan’s Ultimate Skill

When the soul and chaos spinning ball dispersed, Satan was visible again. His HP was half now. The wings he had used to protect himself were no longer burning. The bones forming those wings had cracks and broke in two places.

"Impressive, Storm Wind," Satan said. He then asked, "Can you repeat all this again? You managed to bring my life to half in such a short time. If you can do it again, you will be able to defeat me."

Jack smiled wryly. He couldn't repeat the Demonize Weapon and Overlimit since those were his weapon skills, but he could repeat the series of assaults following his first strike by using Reset. However, he doubted he could land those assaults as easily. Satan underestimated him in the beginning. He had utilized that to score the combos. The situation was different now.

'Satan's defense increases as his HP lowers,' Jack received Peniel's message. This further reduced the chance of him pulling off the same feat.

"Thank you, Storm Wind," Satan said.

"... For what?" Jack asked.

"For this exciting battle."

Finished speaking, the flames on Satan's wings were rekindled. The broken bones didn't grow back, but the flames made them look as good as new.

A different flame also burned on Satan's body. These flames looked gentler than his Flame Rage. Following these flames, recovery numbers appeared above Satan. This recovery far exceeded the number from his natural HP recovery.

"Flame meditation!" Peniel exclaimed. "It's a variant from Battle Monk's Meditate. Don't let him stay still! Or all your efforts are wasted!"

"Damn it! As if this isn't difficult enough," Jack cursed and charged forward.

Satan stood his ground. He cast Fire Shell for protection. He spat fiery lances at the incoming Jack. Jack swerved to the side, evading the lances.

Satan waited until Jack was close enough before he used Infernal Fire Breath. The wide reach of the breath rendered Jack unable to dodge, but Jack had many skills at his disposal.

Jack zoomed away using Wind Dash. The three dashes of his skill brought him to Satan's back. The ten golden orbs from his back combined into a giant golden axe this time. He performed One-word Slash using that axe. The axe sliced through the fiery shell but was halted when multiple fiery rings bound it. One of these fiery rings also attempted to bind Jack, but Jack flew away before it did. Yet, before he moved far, he felt an invisible force grabbed him.

"Ugh...," He couldn't move no matter how hard he tried.

"I'm enjoying this, but you are getting on my nerves, Storm Wind," Satan said. His body changed color. One half was silver, and the other was dark purple. "Sorry, but I'm ending this. Begone!"

Satan brought his two hands together.

"Do you want Invulnerability?!" Peniel asked in a hurry.

"No need!" Jack exclaimed.

A massive beam of silver and dark purple poured out of Satan's hands. This was not the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction, but the Soul and Chaos Extinguishing Cannon with higher firepower. Jack was too small. The wide area of this skill rendered Jack unable to dodge. Even if he used a fast-moving skill, Satan could easily redirect the beam to chase after Jack.

While the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction's destructive energy hit instantly, the Soul and Chaos Extinguishing Cannon lasted quite a while. That's why Satan chose this version of the skill. He intended to finish Jack with this one hit. He didn't believe an outworlder with limited HP could survive against this skill.

Ever since witnessing this skill from Chris' spy tool, Jack had thought about what to do if he was at the receiving end. He had a couple of skills he could use. One was the Ghost Form, but he was not using that spell.

The silver and dark purple beam washed over Jack. Jack just stayed there as he watched the energies pass him by. He could sense how destructive these energies were. Even with his high HP and using all available defensive buffs, he still wouldn't survive getting hit by these energies.

Fortunately, none of these destructive energies touched him. The one that rushed at him from the front continued charging at him, but they never arrived. This was because there was a vast distance of stretched space between him and the beam. A space distorted by the Void Defense skill.

"Do you think this beam lasts longer than thirty seconds?" Jack asked Peniel.

"It didn't seem to last that long when he used it against Eoranth," Peniel answered.

Jack had also witnessed the incident Peniel mentioned. He didn't think what he saw then to be absolute. There was a chance Satan simply stopped the beam because Eoranth had been pushed outside the beam's effective range.

One thing piqued his curiosity after experiencing this skill at close range. This Soul and Chaos Extinguishing Cannon was a result of form manipulation. He could sense the mana molding this skill. This took him back to something from the past. He had seen the exact same Form Manipulation before.

It was the time when he fought against Master. When both Master and he were using the divine forms of their divine skills. Master was in Wind God Incarnation at the time. Similar to the Lightning God Incarnation, the Wind God Incarnation had a finishing blow where the user released an explosive power that hit everything within the vicinity. But instead of that standard form, Master's finishing attack was altered to a beam attack. This was the same as Satan's current move.

This made Jack wonder. Did Master already learn Form Manipulation, then?
