Chapter 616 Primordial Darkness
616 Primordial Darkness
Valerius's ruptured chest trembled as tendrils of radiant light gently weaved through the air, swiftly reconstructing the damaged fragments of a wounded heart. The pulsating glow intensified, as the already insane healing speed increased. In a mere second, the reconstruction of the heart was completed and the hole in his chest was halfway done.
Watching Valerius's wound healing at a rapid rate, Blake couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in shock. "Hmmm." Blake's shock died as fast as it came, replaced with realisation.
"That explains what gave you two the confidence to face me." Blake chuckled.
Blake figured out that the light element must have been an inheritance from the God of light, who just showed himself a few minutes ago.
"You have become cockier than I remembered." Valerius sneered with a look of disdain as his body hovered backwards, illuminating with intense life.
Valerius turned into a beam of light and charged in Blake's direction with blinding speed.
"Fast!" Blake muttered with a frown as he jerked back and tapped into the speed of lightning reinforcement & foresight ability.
Lightning crackled around Blake's body while countless possibilities of Valerius's next attack flashed through his eyes.
Without hesitation Blake tilted his head to the right and just then Valerius appeared, stabbing to the left with his fiery black spear. "Ha!" Valerius screamed in rage as he realized his attack missed. He swung his spear horizontally, aiming to decapitate Blake in one swoop but he was a tad bit slow. Blake ducked, feeling a scorching breeze sweep over him with strings of his white hair cut by the attack falling.
Suddenly a spatial tear opened behind Valerius and the hand of Blake's clone emerged, racing towards Valerius's exposed head.
"I told you already, tricks like this won't work on me!" Valerius sneered disdainfully as a solid firewall spiralled into existence.
"Hmph!" Blake snorted disdainfully at his words and a second spatial tear opened just before the clone's hand could meet the solid firewall. The hand emerged from a new spatial tear at the other side of the solid firewall, at this point even Valerius was forced to dodge.
Drifting to the left in a bid to avoid the hand coming from behind, Valerius left himself exposed and Blake had no intentions of letting this opportunity slip.
In a swift motion, Blake moved with lightning-reinforced speed, slashing at the hand welding the spear.
"Argh!" Valerius cried out in pain with twitching eyes.
He watched his hand spinning some distance away, still gripping tightly to the spear while countless drops of blood stood between him and his lost limb.
Not planning to let this opportunity slide, Blake made his move without bothering to give Valerius the chance to resist. Swinging his sword horizontally, Blake intended to decapitate Valerius and put an end to this battle.
However, Valerius spotted Blake's movements and didn't even waste a second as his body turned into specks of light and moved away just when the blade had reached its neck. If he had wasted more time he would have been decapitated for sure.
However, this was the least of Blake's worries. What caught his attention was the decapitated arm which turned into specks of light as well, chasing after the main body. Valerius reappeared with his severed hand, reattached but his face was covered with beads of sweat.
"This is getting annoying," Blake commented with a frown.
The Angel realm of the light pathway was called Lightsworn popularly known as Unkillable. It earned that title because it granted the users unreal healing capabilities, allowing them to recover from fatal injuries like a damaged heart. For normal people, the only viable means around this was destroying the brain of the Angel but even that was not an easy task.
"If you that is all you have to show me, I also happen to have a surprise for you," Blake said with a cruel smile spread across his face as darkness began diffusing from various parts of his body
"Shit!" Valerius cursed with a feeling of dread washing all over him.
He had thought with the addition of the light element he would be on par with Blake in terms of the number of elements. With both sides evened out, Valerius planned to use his millennia of combat experience to suppress and ultimately defeat Blake.
However the appearance of a fourth element all the meticulous planning laid down in his mind. "You may have gotten the light inheritance but I have awakened and acquired the darkness inheritance as well," Blake's shadow became visible while he was still standing in mid-air, Right before their eyes, his shadow split into two, each shifting to his side as they began morphing and taking the shape of Blake. From mere shadows to imitating his shadow form, to them, actually becoming Blake. However, Blake was not done with them.
Night mist began pouring out of his body, spreading far and wide at a terrifying rate.
"Fuck." Valerius muttered with narrowed eyebrows.
19:41
The duo tried to escape in different directions but Blake's clones were a step ahead, moving in to block their path.
Not daring to waste even a second, Valerius transformed into a beam of light and shot in another direction; however, Blake had expected this as well. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
A spatial tear appeared in the path of his retreat. From it, darkness began pouring out.
"Primordial darkness! How?" Valerius was taken aback by the discovery.
Primordial darkness was unlike normal darkness that just drained its targets of their vitality and energy. Instead, it consumed everything that made contact with it, not even leaving behind a trace.
With no other choice, Valerius was forced to halt his retreat abruptly, returning to his tangible form. However, upon stopping Valerius noticed the presence of two Blake's flanking him from two sides.
Immediately, one Blake conjured twelve darkness tendrils, sending them flying at Valerius, while the second clone dove in, slashing at him with the Emberforge.
With the primordial darkness behind him, Valerius frowned since he knew he had no other choice but to take them in a direct confrontation.
