Chapter 376: Reality Bend II

[Outside the Territory of the Hidden city]

Upon seeing Melfina and Rebecca struggling just to keep up with the sudden change of scenery and dizzying reality, Kaido couldn't help but slightly observe Axel

As per his observation despite being a person who could bend reality, the performance that Axel had showed only proves his conclusion that he is just a person who is in the lower realm when bending the reality

As per bending the the reality, there are two category for such an attribute, one is a higher realm, while the other is the lower realm

But based on what Axel could do, Kaido concluded that he was part of the latter

On reason could be taken for account and prove such a hypothesis is because a higher realm reality Bender can eliminate a person with just its mere thoughs, it could even restraint them by just a mere wish of it without much effort

But the way Axel tries to subdue both Melfina and Rebecca by doing all this flashy stuff and not try subduing them by a mere thought only proves that he's a lower realm type of reality Bender

With that thought in mind, he has more or less a fighting chance against such a person since his matter manipulation is part of the inferior type of reality bending

It may not be on our with Axel's ability, but one can't deny that Kaido's ability branch out from this type of power category, only it is inferior in many ways

After thinking through this part Fengris Immediately spoke up

"Arent we going to do something?"

"Both of them couldn't even keep up with that guy" said Aileene

"Im pretty sure that none of us too though, after all if I level his power in terms of weirdness, then I can say that this thing is moderate" said Argos

Upon hearing that Kaido then tilted his head to the side as he replied

"If you want to have a go with him, then please do so... but don't count Melfina and Rebecca out of this, after all if they are this weak till this moment, both of them wouldn't have survived following me"

Hearing that Aileene suddenly caught unto something as she asked

"Then what are you going to do? Don't tell me that your just going to watch on the side"

At that Kaido replied

"Of course not! I'm observing him, after all due to his ability it is the very first time I felt powerless to do anything, but not totally"

"Essentially, reality bending refers to the study of the internal and external determinants of subjective reality. In other words, we seek to understand the processes that modulate our conscious experience of reality. The word "bending" encapsulates the active nature of the mechanisms at stake. Indeed, being anything but stable, our perception of reality can be quite easily influenced, whether voluntarily or not, sometimes to extreme degrees of alteration"

"The ability to change reality into how the person in question sees fit, while ignoring the rules of science. Users can alter any item already considered real. Any decision made in the past, any item ever created, any movement, choice, color, atom, or molecule that exists can be changed"

"Unfortunately he isn't upto par with that kind of manipulation with his ability vmcause he is in the lower realm, due to that he can't eliminate something, replace something, nor change the past or future cause he's a lower realm reality bender... but other than that I'm still observing him"

Upon hearing that Fengris suddenly scratched his head as he grumbled

"I don't really understood anything you said, but since I can beat him up, then that's all good"

As Fengris said that he then charged forward without further hesitation, which was quickly followed up by Aileene

Apart from them of course Argos then followed as he suddenly asked

"We will have to go all out? Dont we?"

"Do what you like" replied Kaido

With that Argos spreads out his dragonic wings and shot off through the air as he headed towards axel

*********

On the meantime as Axel saw both Rebecca and Melfina slowly stabilizing their footing, the then cupped his hand as he started gathering all the ice and earth all around him to recreate them into its monstrous weapon

In just few moments the particles gathered around his palm, suddenly convulsed as it was then formed into a mini blazing sun which suddenly caused everything aside from his spot to suddenly turn into a melting point

With that Melfina's extra weapon and clothing started to melt along with its surroundings, on the other hand thanks to Rebecca's sword who somehow bestowed its owner with some kind of protection, such melting point didn't even affect her

With that the first one to recover was Rebecca as she immediately held her sword and stood up as she swung it behind her

But at that exact moment Axel pushed off his miniaturized sun toward Rebecca causing her to be blown off her feet alongside Melfina

But thanks to that execution and collision of two different temperature, both the cold and heat had canceled each other out causing the environment to stabilize once more

When that happened Axel drew in another amount of particle with an intent to execute another dreadful attack towards both Melfina and Rebecca

But just as he was about to do that, Aileene suddenly ran up towards him as she conjured one of her lunar blades by her hand and threw them towards Axel

Due to that interruption, Axel's gathering of particle was immediately canceled out as Aileene drew in closer and threw out a punch

Seeing that then Axel with a flick of his finger, immediately swapped their position causing Aileene's punch to hit nothing but the solid ground

But due to the power she inputted in that punch, a huge plot of land was then blown away causing Axel to temporarily loose sight of her

But at that moment as if no obstructions could stop him, Fengris then came in from those dust and dirt and slammed his body against Axel, causing the latter to be immediately blown off from his position and crash down to the ground

Following that as if coordinated before hand Aileene quickly ruched out from that smoke together with Fengris as they attacked Axel with their various close combat skills

On the other hand as they fought fiercely Argos then landed before Melfina and Rebecca as he slowly heals their wound using some ancient dragonic magic

Of course since such healing spell is derived from a foreign non human compatible dragonic spell, the healing it exhibit was completely inferior to the healing spell used by the priest and light mages, but nevertheless both Melfina and Rebecca were grateful for that act

After that Rebecca held out her sword as she observed some kind of opening before charging in

On the other hand Melfina then backed away from the battle since her weapons and equipment have been totally melted to an unusable degree

With that putted aside both Aileene and Fengris started assaulting Axel to the point that he can't even block nor retaliate in full

Due to that Axel snapped his finger again to immediately changed the whole scenery unto the blazing cold tundra environment, like once more the scenery changed

At the same time Axel created multiple clones of himself numbering upto hundreds of them with everyone each had its own flesh and bone

In other words every clone that was present was equivalent to his real self

Seeing that Aileene conjured her lunar blades once more as Fengris took the front and charged towards the populated place where the clones had converged

Seeing their action Axel together with all of his clones immediately raises up their hands as some sent numerous restraining pressure, while some attacked with projectile powers such as lasers in the eyes, multi assault projectiles erected from ones body, or thunderbolts flashing through one's hands

In that moment of bombardment Aileene swiftly crossed her blades across her front as she then drew in an immediate circular slash around her, causing her to create a mana barrier around her

"Lunar wall!"

On the meantime Fengris released his all as he fully transformed into a Fenrir quite bigger than a small hill as he strengthened all of his fur to serve as an armor

With that a huge explosion then rung out which blew everyone away that was close to its proximity

But when Axel thought that he was already free of any problem, Argos came dashing from the sky as it slashed down its claws from above

Creating a huge impact upon landing, Argos suddenly noticed that Axel was nowhere to be seen, in quite a fact the latter had actually managed to dodged that quick ambush from above

At this moment Axel shifted his position elsewhere with a quite afew distance away from Argos, but at that instant Rebecca swiftly came in and swings her sword sideways towards him

"Heavy blade!"

But as if hitting air, Rebecca's sword effortless bypasses his body, as if her opponent was a mere spectrum or ghost with no flesh or bone, unknown to her Axel in that split second had turned his whole body into a entity like being, causing the formers weapon to simply pass through him without any obstructions

Alarmed by that Rebecca's eyes widened in surprise as she quickly took a huge step back with an intent to put some distance between them

Unfortunately Axel has no intention of letting that happened as the ground suddenly moved in a jigsaw movement which then messed up everyone's location

In fact even Kaido and the rest were affected as they were suddenly spreader out by the sudden jigsaw movement of the ground

Closing in for some quite a distance Axel then produced a whip out of nowhere and whipped it around Rebecca's body

"Oh no!"

With that sudden turn of events Rebecca was then caught by Axel's whip as it coiled around her

But at the next moment, something even stranger happened as the whip itself suddenly moved and turned slimy and scaly

In that instant the tip of the whip suddenly turned into a snake head as it bit off Rebecca's arm

In that next moment Axel suddenly let out an electrecuting electricity on the whip, causing Rebecca to shout in pain upon getting electrocuted

As this goes on Argos swiftly bypasses Axel as he took ahold of the whip and letting himself get electrocuted instead, unfortunately such voltage wasn't enough to hurt a dragon of his kind

"Excillus!!!"

In one cast Argos disintegrated the whip the he was holding causing it to turn into ash

With that he breaths in a mouthful of breath as mana started to converge around him as he let out a roar

"Darkus Renegade!!!"

With a huge black laser shot off from Argos mouth and head towards Axel, the latter then immediately created two portals on both of his hand as he absorb the attack on one portal and returned in twofold with the other

Seeing that his attack was reversed back two him with an even greater strength, Argos scales on his arm suddenly shined as it completely transformed into its armored self causing Argos to wield a strange weapon

For a moment all the mana on the surroundings suddenly got sucked in by his weapon, causing the balance of the world to slightly tilt as darkness spreads out from such weapon

"Apocryphal Regalia!!!"

Upon conjuring that spell which originally isnt summoned when its not needed, Argos then plunged that shieldic blade unto the ground as it collided with his returned attack

In just few moment the attack that was strengthened by two folds by Axel was immediately sliced in half by Argos conjured spell causing it to suddenly laser to gouged to its side and completely missing its target

As for the places it hits, every living being nor the ground there was completely decimated by such an attack

Seeing that even Kaido was surprised that Argos has such trump card on his sleeves, but at that next moment calamity spoke up to him through telepathy, telling him that she could expel Axel's avatar from this world

Hearing that Kaido smirked as he slowly muttered

"About god damn time!"
