101 - Day End part 4

Swinging the divine armament, sparks of light fill the sky as pressure and destruction rampaged around the realm. This was the outer realm, the place where Zet resided. Nothing could affect us here and we couldn't interfere with the world either. There was a high possibility that I'm stuck here until I kill Zet.

It wasn't difficult to understand the circumstances. I threatened his existence by living, and he in turn is threatening mine now. That was all there is and ever will be to it. Before the sound could reach my ear, the flashes of light vanished from their spots. Unlike the previous miniature realm, this one was completely dark, letting light shine even more. Though that very light vanished before I could blink. What a predicament. Well, complaining wouldn't do any good, the only course of action was to fight.

More light manifested as I twisted my body and arm around, filling the sky once more with destruction. Just as the lights vanished once more, I had already pierced Zet with the blade. No... It was his afterimage... With minimal movements, his head had moved a few centimetres to the left, allowing my blade to only shave off a portion of his hair.

I had thought that it would annoy him, but the hair grew back in an instant as if nothing had happened.

"I told you this was futile." (Zet)

"Then, why don't you just erase me?"

"You have to be a new kind of dumb to think that would trick me. Your divine armament possesses a similar rank to me, infinite, omnipotent. In order to erase you, I have to remove her first or I will be erases first." (Zet)

"Ah~ I see, that was helpful. So it seems you can not deal with this blade. I understand now."

Just as fast as the glowing lights vanished, they had reappeared once more in the surrounding air. With the reappearance, my blade and body had also moved into stabbing distance. Just as before, Zet had dodged it with composure and widened the distance. Twisting even a single muscle boosted me forward, theoretically speaking I could swim in the air with this amount of force. Flexing my toes under my boots, a similar effect was achieved and the distance was instantly recovered.

When I master the sword, I'll be able to do the same. The basic principle might just be defying gravity with will power instead of magic, Zet could possibly do this forever. Fortunately distance wasn't a problem.

"Amelia"

"Yes!"

Reading my intentions with her divine properties, the length of the blade extended indefinitely filling every escape route. Mysteriously, it was somehow still extending even though it looked like the blade in my hand had not moved at all, was it detached? Originally the blade was like a thread, but was she able to manipulate the width as well?

That would explain how it looked exactly the same as before while constantly growing in my surroundings, it was still attached but it did not matter. The edge was sharp enough to inflict damage on Zet without using the tip to pierce him. But that was only a triviality, the tip itself was constantly expanding forward and therefore could go through anything, it could also split into more than 1 ends and keep going. It was a storm of assault, but Zet just continued to stand still.

"You... How are you still unharmed.."

"Don't misunderstand. Gods can harm other gods, but that is if one stood still and the other did nothing. In the end, infinity can cancel out infinity. Your divinity can kill my mine, but if I concentrate into defenses, it would be cancelled out and that would be what is occurring right now. Now who do you think has a higher physical strength? I haven't fought in a few million years, but I'm quite confident in [One above all]. "(Zet)

Mentioning his skill trigerred a large magic circle on the ground. This magic circle had detailed engravings that reached a few kilometres alone for a few sigils and symbols. The circle itself was so big that it wasn't an exaggeration to say it can cover a country. Was this person perhaps a ruler in the past? Well, no matter. He was still going to die by my hands.

The blade continued its assault on Zet, slowly it started to vanish. Divinity was cancelled out by divinity. Amelia could no longer help with my fight. From what I can assume, his status as a god was just a small part of his skill [One above all]. He still had the primary function. There was no way for me to bypass it without Amelia, I had reached a wall. Gugh! Amelia was my trump card, what was I going to do now?!

I can only fight. Picking myself up from my lost composure, I put my guard up before closing the distance. My passives were still on, though they were useless against his skill. He had previously wiped my status card, but due to the authority of [Externalis Amelia], I gained all of it back. We were practically back at square one. It was all back to wits, now that I've lost my strongest power.

Running in, hundreds of blood red chains sprouted from thin air. The sound of metal clashing and screeching echoes around without end. With a scythe of darkness in my hand, the chains wrapped around the shaft, I gave my hardest swing. 'Wrath' was used to speed up my attacks beyond perception, [control space] allowed the blade to cut through even the void. The resulting vacuum formed from my scythe strike spread through the dimension like a ripple, the chains carrying the force far away before it rebounded and the chains struck Zet once more.

With his divinity gone, his body was no longer immortal and he had to activate his skill to defend himself temporarily. The moment his defenses and concentration lets up, he will be thoroughly skewered. The barrage of chains striking through space and time itself, past, future and present, it continued to attack. He couldn't do anything but defend. He had 2 lines of immortality, his divinity and his skill [One above all]. Now that one was gone, there was only one left.

"I commend you for getting this far, but your enemy having only 1 skill is a rather naive thought. The previous [Demon Lord] was just mentally unwell after awakening and didn't consider anything other than [death]. This is your end, cease your meaningless struggle. "(Zet)

" [Disable attack-tier 6] [Dimensional reflection] [Contact of death] [Divine command-grovel] "(Zet)

The storm of chains disappear, before remanifesting once more. This time I was the target, and they had been boosted by [Contact of death], an instant death skill. I'll have to dodge every inch of chain in order to survive. The final skill, [Divine command-grovel] lowered all my stats to 0 and health to 1, making it impossible to dodge, a pressure was also forcing me into the ground.

It wasn't possible to enhance my stats, my skills worked by increasing a set percentage of my base stat, but that was reduced to 0. Without my stats, I couldn't dodge the chains, my only solution was a skill.
