Chapter 175: The Battle Of Creation And Destruction [4]
***
A blazing fire completely enveloped his arm as Michael stepped forward, the other being covered in multiple rocks.
His hair started to swirl and sway in a crimson fiery rage while his legs were encased in pristine water armor.
Elemental Integration.
A phenomenon a clovist acquired when they were perfectly in sync with their elements.
It wasn't the first time Amon had seen it, referring to the Daniel incident.
But for the audience above, it was their first time and they went completely ballistic.
After all, his elemental integration combined all 5 of his elements, or more accurately, 4 in the public's eye.
They were still not able to differentiate between the [Fire] on his arms and the [Sun] on his hair.
But even then...
Michael's transformation was nothing compared to what was happening now.
Even the audience turned their eyes toward Amon as they felt the air ripple.
It rippled and swayed, making tearing noises as if it were a cloth that was being shredded apart.
And it was true in a certain sense.
Because that was just what [Void Bond] was.
Amon took a step forward as well, his right arm starting to blaze in fiery purple and amethyst flames.
A starless night translucent cloak appeared around his left arm, which was currently glowing in an aubergine color.
His legs were encased in pristine light purple armor while a mirror-like crown made of amethyst prisms appeared on his head.
Amon's hair swirled in the air, blackish purple flames igniting at the tips with his right eye glowing in an indigo light.
With every step he took, it was like everything was being broken apart in the area around him.
The rocks, the air, the sound...
The mana.
Amon exhaled, his eyes locking with Michael's crimson ones.
This was [Void Bond], his third skill in his Herald Skills.
Having a cooldown of 1 week, the skill allowed him to use all of his Herald unlocked abilities and [Void Skills], whether unlocked or locked without restrictions.
There was no cooldown or range.
He had the Authority of Nothingness.
The essence of Zephyra was infused with his whole being.
Amon took a step forward, the ground beneath him instantly being crushed into splinters.
Minor cracks were already starting to spread on his neck, indicating how stressful and dangerous this skill was.
At maximum, he only had 10 minutes.
But...
'That's enough for me to win.'
Immediately, Amon disappeared from his place, appearing in front of Michael.
A nodachi, made of pure purple destructive energy formed in his hand as he tried to strike.
But of course, Michael wasn't just a weak show as well as he immediately raised several pillars of earth from the ground.
Yet, Amon was completely unfazed as they launched at him.
And just when they were inches away from hitting him, all the pillars stopped in the air a few meters away from him.
No, they didn't stop.
If one looked closely, one would see millions of tiny threads looped around each pillar, keeping them in the air.
And in the next second, they broke with a sharp noise into millions of pieces.
Amon's void pressure was just too much.
Without wasting a moment, Amon disappeared from the view again, arriving before Michael
once more.
Michael, however, was prepared this time as his body started to burn in a blue fiery flame.
Or so he thought as Amon's lips slowly curled up.
Into a subtle but charming smile.
Michael's mana flow was interrupted as he suddenly lost focus, and that was enough for Amon.
Immediately, the cyan flames on Michael's hand disappeared into the air.
And the amethyst nodachi slashed at him, inflicting a large gash in his chest, only being saved because of his earthen armor.
Michael gushed out blood but quickly got back to his senses, erupting multiple water spikes from the ground.
While simultaneously manifesting a large gale of wind to throw off Amon.
Of course, this didn't faze Amon in the least as he immediately raised blood spikes as well, counting water.
It was surprising for the whole audience how the tables had turned so quickly.
Before their transformations, both of them looked to be equal in fighting strength and everything.
However, as soon as Amon changed, the whole tables turned.
There seemed to be no way Michael could win this right now.
And why was that?
Because a normal mana concept can't compare to a Herald Skill.
Simple as that.
Elemental Integration was the only transformation for the current Michael.
But not for the future Michael.
Taking another step toward him, Amon suddenly felt a large pressure boring down on him.
It wasn't much for the current him but it was quite a lot.
Of course, he knew what it was.
It was Michael's familiar art.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
A large pressure was being set on an area around him. An assumption could be increase of
gravity.
But Amon didn't care. After all, it wasn't doing anything to him.
When Amon was about to take another step though, the crushed ground beneath him
suddenly rumbled.
And multiple barrages of weapons rushed at him.
He was quite surprised but not worried.
'He's thinking smart now...'
Amon's body disappeared into a trail of black smoke in the air.
Appearing before Michael, Amon stomped his foot lightly on the ground.
And immediately, a cerulean-colored avalanche of crystals erupted from the ground.
Countering it with his Earth, Michael suddenly disappeared from his spot as well.
Blue and crimson flames flew through the air as he traversed through the whole stadium.
Amon grinned, disappearing into a line of smoke as well.
Both of them collided with each other, but as expected, it ended up badly for Michael.
Michael clenched his hand and raised it, willing for a torrent of flames to burst forth.
Unfortunately, [Mana Scatter] had already done its job.
And before Michael could even retreat, a clean punch landed on his face, throwing him far
away on the crushed stage.
Amon looked at his eyes and arms, which were covered in a whole web of cracks.
'I don't have much time...' He noticed.
And he looked at Michael, who looked back at him and nodded.
They both didn't.
And so, they came to an agreement.
To end it all in one move.
And as if in sync, both of them took their stance pulling back their hands.
A tiny crimson ball started to swirl on Michael's hand as before,
And the same could be said for Amon as well.
But...
His amethyst ball wasn't just energy-packed and destructive.
The eyes of the audience widened as the already decimated ground started to get destroyed
even further.
Pieces of rocks and the stadium started to flow into Amon's attack, making it larger and
larger.
And before they could hold their breaths correctly, both of them released their fingers.
"Sanguine Decimation," Michael spoke.
[Hollow Voidflare.] Amon spoke silently, unleashing destruction upon the whole area.
The whole sky was tinged crimson and amethyst in the next second at the violent clash of energies, sending rippling waves of destruction throughout the whole area.
BOOOOOOOM!
