Chapter 8: A talk between two beings and the 'Dawn Cycle'.

Vaelthar and Azarine wherever they were at through the destruction were still fighting. However, the Netherborn seemed… Tired?

Panting for breath as his purple lightning around him started dying. He landed on the ground clenching his chest as he vomited weakly.

"Damn, bastard."

Vaelthar stared at Eclipsal Lord in front of him, also panting as the black flames around him started dying too. As he though of how he had got Azarine like this.

I was fortunate, that his God Essence… Wrath Lord, Satanel was used at the same time I used my 'swap' technique.

If I was even a little late when using it. I would have gotten my soul struck with a pain powerful enough to end the world.

Even if only a small portion of Satanel's power was used. When used by someone like Azarine, 'Wrath Lord, Satanel' is still more dangerous than it normally is on almost full power.

I would have survived through 'Unshackled Existence' but the pain would had put me in the same condition as he is right now.

A lot has changed since I got out of the End of Space-Time.

Seeing the huge growth, I can assume that Zephyros must have played some kind of trick in the End of Space-Time to trick me into believing only a few millennia have passed outside the End of Space-Time when in reality.

A new Dawn has started already and another forty millennia have passed. Which makes it the fourth Dawn to occur.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Vaelthar looked back at Azarine. Eyes widening, as the Netherborn stood up once again.

"Now that's a surprise… I remember well that trying to stand through Satanel's effect doubles the loop of its effects. Yet, you are still able to stand despite that." Vaelthar said, surprised by Azarine's ability to stand up again despite the effects of 'Wrath Lord, Satanel'.

Panting slightly Azarine replied back. "That's because I have one more reason to protect now…"

Vaelthar nodded slightly at the reply as he started recovering again. "And what may that be? Another Essence? Reputation? Or something n-"

"A younger brother…" Azarine interrupted.

Hearing the term 'brother' Vaelthar paused slightly. "I see… I can understand that. Then, I will ensure the destruction of the Nightfall bloodline to be painless the-"

Hearing about the destruction of his bloodline. Azarine turned furious and charged right at Vaelthar with even more force than before as he charged 'Wrath Lord, Satanel' through his blade 'Eclipsera' right from that range to catch Vaelthar off guard.

Before Vaelthar could react, the attack collided.

The moment the attack collided; chaos prevailed.

A large explosion of hellish flames occurred as Vaelthar felt every single kind of pain. Spiritual. Physical. Emotional. Psychological. All hit him at once.

The area was covered into a blinding light as the flames devoured all area around it.

By the time Vaelthar got back into senses. The two powerhouses were now in a domain-like structure with eternal darkness and everything destroyed. There was no Space-Time or anything at all.

"So much… Destruction…" Vaelthar mumbled slightly, as he looked back at Azarine. "A lot of rage was built up huh?"

"Of course, there was…" Azarine replied back. "I am sure you can sense something however if I am correct?"

Vaelthar nodded slightly at the question, answering back. "Yes… That something blocked the destruction from reaching out and this destroyed space is only this much because of being blocked on the outside, correct?"

"Because otherwise, you were about to destroy the universe again like you almost did in the 1st dawn."

"Am I wrong?"

Hearing the answered, Azarine grumbled slightly. "Correct… Both of us knows very well how the 'Dawn Cycle' works."

"Even if for the 4th dawn I may still be able to destroy a Universe only. For the 1st dawn I can destroy and recreate the entirety of it several times because of how the Dawn Cycle works."

"And since that wouldn't matter much as we both know how the 'Void Monarchs' were born. I had to get stronger even for the current cycle." Azarine replied back. "But currently you are a bigger threat than a Voidborn, because of your creation."

"That's correct." Vaelthar replied. "If I have to ask… How would the 'weaker' world compete against this dawn now?

[Weaker world means the normal world. Basically, a normal planet, earth, universe or the multiverse.]

Azarine thought for a sec. "Hmm… Let's see."

"The 1st Dawn is just like the weaker worlds. And in the 2nd Dawn our continent would feel as durable as a universe for the first dawn."

"So by doing all that… An average calamity class monster can destroy several Universes."

"I see...." Vaelthar replied. "Anyways… How long are we going to be here for endlessly?"

"Hmm..." Azarine thought for a moment and replied "Until Lunaria cancels her mirrors out." 

"Lunaria? Who may that be?" Vaelthar questioned to Azarine.

"The woman you fought first upon you return to Aetherion. The ice magic user." Azarine answered.

Vaelthar upon hearing that was surprised, the woman he fought upon his return was the one that blocked the aftermath of an attack that could end a Universe normally. "Her? I fought her yes. But she did seem that powerful to me at first."

"Her 'Moonlit Stasis' technique was sure something to praise but still… How can she do this?"

Azarine chuckled slightly at that and answered. "She suppresses herself through seals."

Vaelthar intrigued asked another question. "Why would she suppress herself, if she is actually this strong?"

Azarine continued answering. "Because she doesn't care much about power."

Vaelthar raised an eye brow at that. As Azarine, continued.

"Her interest always leans more towards more knowledge and wisdom, rather than power."

"Moonlit Stasis is just one of her many normal techniques she made herself."

"She had done more."

"She is in fact... A Caelran."

"Not biologically but still… You know well how a Caelran is like."

Vaelthar upon hearing that had wide eyes, as he murmured slightly. "A Caelran, huh..."

"It won't matter then if she lost the first round then or not."

"She can't be taken lightly anymore."
