Chapter 185: Saber Vs Avios (Part 1)
It was instead Saber who was left in a state of utter bamboozlement...
His eyes squinted, and the cold aura surrounding him lost its royal sensation, as it was replaced immediately by an insane, and bloodthirsty air that permeated the city!
THRUM!!!

'What kind of technique is that..? Soo unsightly!' Even though he was under the constant pressure of the Lord, Zaman was barely able to raise his head enough to see the contents on the screen. It was unknown whether it was due to his strength, or simply because Lord Darkness allowed for it.
'Huh? Soo lucky. He looks incredibly strong... Saber is soo lucky to fight such a foe!' In his mind, Liam shouted in displeasure. He, who had faced mere half-assed talents, was filled with jealousy towards Saber, who was facing someone with such strength. Even though they weren't able to feel the aura of someone through the screen, it was obvious this person soo large, comparable to a skyscraper, was also incredibly strong.
'Hmm, it seems that these are the final competitors... I wonder, which one will be the one to win... Is it going to be Avios, or this person who looks like an ant compared to Avios?' Henry analyzed with intrigue to the battle. He had first-hand experience with Avios (the giant-like figure) and his strength.
If this figure floating in the skies was to somehow defeat Avios, Henry would finally believe that there was a chance for him to gain a rival who would push his limits... But, he didn't have any hope of it being possible.
'This fight shouldn't be a problem for Saber... With his Illusion abilities, who knows, he probably already sent that unnecessarily large human into the depths of despair...' Dawn calmly said in his mind. He was the only one to know the true strength of Saber and he understood that it was only Saber who could give himself, a Reality-Manipulating Cultivator, a challenge...
Well, at the very least, the strength he thought Saber held was merely a notch or two below what Saber's actual strength was. After all, he hadn't experienced fighting Saber at his most perfect and truest state!
And while all the geniuses had different thoughts, the Lord sitting on her throne that was as dark as the void of space awaited expectantly to see the power of the so-called geniuses of her territory...
She was expectant because it was these geniuses that would soon be on the battlefield alongside her exalted self fighting against the wicked Demons who were currently bombarding the Milky Way Galaxy's barrier with attacks...
Hoping to destroy it, so they could enter and unite with the few demons inside the galaxy, so they could officially start the Great War.
THRUM!!!

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!!!!!
Saber's fist, though incredibly small compared to the cheeks of his opponent, contained unimaginably powerful force... On top of this incredible force, the consistent and supersonic speed at which he sent his punches was enough to shock all watching, and also the giant of a man who unintentionally was forced back!
*BOOM!!!*
Under the barrage of attacks made by Saber, Avios fell over after losing consciousness for a split second. Though e tried to quickly get up, Saber's speed was much faster as in a flash, Saber had easily cut down the distance between himself and Avios's chest.
Tens of kilometers...
In microseconds, Saber had appeared on top of Avios's chest. Raising his hand to the skies, Avios could only watch in terror as Saber bellowed...
"HEAVENLY LIGHTNING, DESCEND!!!"
*CRACKLE*
*PA PA PA PA!!!*
As thunder crackled loudly, streaks of lightning cracked through the skies, forming void-like holes as they descended upon Avios's gigantic body, while spitting golden flames radiating immense coldness and energy of Invincibility!!!
As Avios sensed this shockingly beyond powerful attack, his expression froze...
"ILLUSION, BREAK!!!"
...
...
...
"Interesting, it seems that you were able to break my illusion..." With blood slowly exiting his eyes, ears, and nose, Saber casually said to Avios in what seemed to be a slight surprise. Avios, on the other hand, had a face filled with utter rage and embarrassment as he realized that even though it was an illusion, he had still fallen on his buttocks, even in the real world...
"Y...YOU!!!" Avios roared in extreme frustration toward the heavens... How Saber soo casually spoke even though he was bleeding soo seriously as if that bleeding was something that didn't affect him whatsoever, reminded Avios of "that" boy...
The boy who had the weird transformation which he claimed to be true elemental form...
Avios shot to his feet as he then zoomed toward Saber some tens of kilometers away. "Huh?!" His speed was surprising, especially since the size of his body was close to 60 kilometers tall. This caused Saber to feel a shock he hadn't expected to feel after entering this competition...
'It seems this person has an interesting element...' Saber thought. A smile formed on his face as he still was surprised every day by the many elements in the universe. He hadn't known of many, yet those he knew of were so shockingly powerful, or incredibly handy.
What about those he hadn't yet known of? The many mysteries of the universe. This was what Saber wished to explore. While thinking this, Avios quickly approached sending a punch that contained all his suppressed anger!
Saber's sclera instantly morphed to fully black while his pupils transformed into a flaming red color surrounded by a light hue of gold. With the sudden increase of power coursing throughout his body, Saber easily evaded the fist and cut the distance between Avios's extended fist, and his chest.
Similarly to the illusion, Saber once more appeared in Avios's chest location, as a sword suddenly appeared tightly gripped with his right hand. With it in hand, Saber decided to do something that would only be possible because of a certain element in his possession...
"NINETY-NINE FLAMING CUTS!!!"
With a little tweaking to his destiny, Saber pulled out a Sword Technique that he had never used in his existence before... It was something that he had never even learned according to his current memories.
*Puchi!!!*
Immediately after slashing his sword downward, and ripping apart Avios's skin, a river of blood burst out of his chest, sending an unsuspecting Saber flying backward from the force it contained.
*Sizzle!!*
In the area surrounding the ninety-nine wounds thousands of meters large, a sea of red True Flames rage wildly and ran rampant around the body of Avios!
ARGH!!!
His pained howls penetrated the Virtual Heavens as he grabbed his head in the utter pain that seemed to want to rip his soul to shreds.
But, as the pain became increasingly unbearable, the veins that were present throughout his body suddenly expanded and bulged growing larger by many times. The aura he released suddenly spiked at an insanely fast rate, shooting to the skies as a majestic apparition of an insanely tall giant appeared behind Avios.
The flames that once ran rampant had been forcefully suppressed and Avios opened his bloodshot eyes that were missing his pupils and stared at Saber's figure with immense hatred.
Saber, who had now regained his balance a few feet over the surface of the city clicked his tongue in annoyance...
'This blood was so powerful that...'
Yet, his thoughts were cut short when his senses flared as a powerful aura that caused his expression to freeze, suddenly blasted out of Avios's body!
