THE SEAL OF OUROBOROS

"Hyperion, things are really getting heated, so what are your skills and can you alter time as you wish? " James asked the God of time with a curious expression.

"I possess many skills but my main skill is see into the future and what I have seen cannot be described with words and no even I have a limit as to the number of events I can alter otherwise I could cause major consequences, my time has been exhausted, see you later and I wish you good luck" The God of time said with a smile as his figure faded until he disappeared and time went back to normal.

"Well, at least I now know what to do" James said to himself before launching himself towards the consciousness who just stood there staring at him in disbelief.

LIGHTENING SLASH

James slashed his sword at the consciousness and slashed it into two.

"Wait is that it, no it can't be this easy" James said to himself in surprise then he saw the consciousness who had been cut into two, slowly merge back together and stare at him with a smile.

"I don't know how you managed to dodge my lightening ball but are you really so dumb that you would attack me with the same element that I am made of " The consciousness said in a mocking tone as it smiled at him.

LIGHTENING SLASH

SWORD WRATH

LIGHTENING PUNCH

LIGHTENING BOLT

James attacked without hesitation instead of answering and succeeded in angering the consciousness who absorbed all the energy and threw a miniature lightening ball at him but James only activated his undying lightening body which blocked the attack completely.

"What.. that's the undying lightening body, how do you know it, hmmp I guess I underestimated you, do you really think you can defeat me with only this, I know all your lightening skills and I will only absorb them" The consciousness said to James with a grin as it condensed an even bigger lightening ball which it threw at James who blocked it with his undying lightening body but this time, he started to feel numb and his expression changed slightly.

After seeing his expression, the consciousness knew that it's attack were working so it threw lightening ball after ball at James who just stood there and blocked it without attacking and even though he felt numb, he stood there like a statue and blocked every single one of them so when the consciousness saw this, it thought James was mocking it and trying to provoke so it attacked more fiercely.

The sizes of the balls increased and it's power also increased which caused more damage to James because he revealed a look of agony and scotch marks appeared on his body but even then, he still stood there and let the balls hit him as if waiting for something.

"What is wrong with you, are you trying to prove your toughness to me, well then if you want to die so badly then let me help you" The consciousness said with a sneer as it formed a lightening ball that was bigger than all the previous ones and when James saw this, he revealed a smile as if mocking the ball for it's size and this enraged the consciousness and made it increase the size and then it threw at James.

Even before the lightening ball arrived, James already felt numb from the force so he activated the skill to the fullest and waited for the ball with a calm and expecting expression which made the consciousness suspicious but it only thought that James was trying to feign bravery and would probably bail at the last moment but none of that happened instead the ball slammed into James and sent him crashing into a wall causing dust to rise.

BANG

"You thought that you were strong enough to defeat me, you are probably fried to a cris... " The consciousness could not complete it's sentence because a strong surge of lightening force suddenly appeared from the dust and a figure walked out of the dust with torn clothes, his muscles were defined on his body like a sculpture of a God, the tips of his hair had a hint of blue and his body radiated a powerful lightening energy which shocked even the consciousness, the James at the moment looked totally different from the previous James.

"DING"

[YOUR "UNDYING LIGHTENING BODY" HAS LEVELLED UP TO LEVEL 2]

"The second level of the undying lightening body, you used me to train your skill" The consciousness said in disbelief, if it had blood it would have puked out blood at the moment.

"Feels really good to be struck by lightening" James said the same words again as he stretched his body which caused cracking sound.

"Good, now that I don't need you anymore, I will go straight to the point, where is the guardian beast?" James asked the consciousness in a demanding voice.

"Do you think that because you have reached the second level of the undying lightening body, you have the authority to command me anyhow, you will now witness my true power" The consciousness said with rage, as it waved it's hard and all the lightening energy in the lightening orb flowed towards it and took the form of a sword made completely out of pure lightening energy.

"Well I gave you a choice, don't blame me for being ruthless" James said with a grin as he out his sword away since he knew that lightening attacks had no effect on it and it would only increase it's power but he was still wary of it.

ICE SWORD

James created a sword made of ice which radiated a pure ice intent of ice, he gripped the hilt of the sword and gazed at the consciousness while unleashing the full force of his killing intent in an attempt to intimidate the consciousness.

"You really think this babies killing intent can scare me, you are nothing but a child in front of me, I will teach you to fool with me" The consciousness said with a sneer as it rushed towards James and attacked.

LIGHTENING SLASH

the consciousness attacked fiercely and the power of this attack surpassed that of James by far but James also attacked with his own skill.

ICE SLASH

When James blocked the attack with his sword, it broke but managed to block most of the attack and the remaining was blocked by his undying lightening body.

SWORD BLAST

The consciousness attacked and the sword glowed as lightening gathered on the edges of the sword and the size of the sword increased which also increased the power of the sword and caused James's expression to change.

ICE BLAST

He condensed another ice sword and used the same attack but his own was made of ice, his sword increased and clashed with the consciousness attack.

BOOM

The attacks collided and sent shockwaves flying around and the room to shake from the force.

LIGHTENING CLONE

ICE CLONE

Immediately the consciousness activated it's skill, James also used the same skill and created an ice clone with 50% of his battle power.

The two clones attacked each other and both destroyed themselves which caused the expression of the consciousness to become ugly because it felt that something was wrong, ever skill it used, James used the same one and it could sense that this was the first time he was using it but James already knew what it was thinking and he knew that because of his SSS grade talent in most elements, he was able to grasp the essence of the skills and create his own and that was why he didn't need to practice a skill several times like other people before he could use it fluently.

"What you surprised?, I haven't even started with you yet" James said with a smile as he closed his eyes and took in a deep breath and immediately the consciousness knew which skill he was about to use because it had seen his fight with the wyvern so it rushed towards him to try to stop him but suddenly, two of his clones suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started attacking him which caused him to pause and gave James the time he needed to complete his skill.

DARKNESS FALLS

ICE BREATH

He castes all 4 skills at once and it drained his mana almost dry, the room was plunged into darkness and as the consciousness stood there trying to block the attacks of the two clones, an infinite coldness spread out from him and froze everything in its path and as soon as it touched the consciousness, it spread throughout it's body except it's head.

"Let me introduce you to an old friend" James said with a smile as he cleared the darkness and took out the medallion.

"Hahaha, you can't activate it, you don't know the spell" The consciousness said with a mocking grin as it observed James but he noticed the concealed look of fear in its eyes.

"Oh really, I may not or maybe I do" James said mysteriously as he started making some signs with his hands and when he started, the consciousness acted unfazed but as he progressed, the consciousness revealed a rare look of terror.

"You have activated the... " The consciousness said with fear and then paused as the medallion rose into the air and the dark part of it started to glow as light filled it.

"Yes, the seal of ouroboros" James completed the statement as he gazed at the full picture on the medallion which was glowing with a bright light, a snake eating it's own tail.
