Chapter 1863 War [5]

On that note, perhaps the most competitive of the four was the best to turn one's focus to.

Elena was completely different from when she last appeared. Becoming an Empress and reviving an entire race tended to lead to such outcomes.

Out of the four, Elena's fighting style was the one that changed the most. She had a habit of being fluid, choosing whatever method suited her best in the moment.

When she was young, she was a close combat fighter. When she got older, she switched into being a summoner and then sort of incorporated both elements into her power. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

At the current moment, her style could be considered the solidified version of all of her achievements. She was a Supreme God. She was at the highest stage of power. There was no point in maintaining fluidity anymore.

Rather, she needed to find a singular style that she could practice until it represented absolute perfection. It was a little funny. Did the Dark God know what she was trying to do? If he didn't, then she really had to thank him for being stupid.

Rather than a Grand Duke of Life, the opponent he prepared for her was a Grand Duke of Death.

What was the concept Elena comprehended again...?

Right, Transcended Death.

What could that possibly look like at this stage of power?

Well, Elena was happy to answer that question for Reigard, the Grand Duke she was facing. The Heavenly God Plane usually had to be used for battles of this scale, but the Sacred Abyss was different from the True Void. Such things as methods to protect the fabric of reality didn't exist. Elena, Rose, Veritera, Reigard, and all of the other Divinities could easily manifest the height of their power.

Reigard was even more formidable than Veritera. His power of Death manifested as a swarm of dark entities much like Eris from the Noct Clan. However, at the Supreme God stage, that was a completely different thing.

Every entity he summoned was Divine. They were manifestations of mythical beasts that did not exist in the Heavenly World, each holding a different concept of Death within.

Under the siege of this deathly army, no one could survive. No matter their power, no matter their law, they would always fall before they reached him.

When he saw Elena, he assumed that this battle was going to be the same as every other battle he'd fought since developing this power. He could tell immediately that she was a Life Law user, but it didn't make a difference.

At the end of the day, his power of death transcended life.

Whether he liked it or not, they were going to fight personally. She wasn't someone he could hold at bay with a mere army of summons.

BOOOOOOM!

Unlike Rose, who had a lot of silent collisions, Elena's power was loud. A bright flash of light covered millions of kilometers as a sword of pure vitality manifested in her hands.

Reigard was originally of the mind to block it directly, but he was forced to retreat. The force of that blade...

'It does not siphon life, but death instead!'

He almost gasped as it swung just inches away from his body. Even without making contact, it was able to shred away some of his deathly aura and just slightly weaken him.

The wisps of murky blackness were absorbed into the sword and turned into the energy of vitality.

In that moment, Reigard realized what he was up against. He was not her mortal enemy. No, it was the complete opposite.

The person in front of him refused the existence of death. Her very presence was the antithesis of it.

In her own way, completely disregarding Existence and Nonexistence, Elena had become an immortal entity. Death was afraid of her. Even Reigard's own law was shivering in fear after feeling the sharpness of her blade.

If he wanted to fight her and win, then he needed more than just luck or skill.

To stay alive against a monster like this, he needed a miracle beyond miracles.

And as someone who once lived in the Sacred Abyss, he was certain that he would never be granted one.

Still, he didn't feel a strong hatred towards Elena. Rather, he just wanted answers from the Dark God. Just why?

Why did he have to summon them to fight against such a monstrous enemy?!
