With the power of the three guardians flowing through him, Miko charged towards Lennox.
Lennox took a fighting stance and awaited his attack.
Miko suddenly disappeared and popped up beside Lennox swinging his claws. Lennox jumped to the side and avoided it.
*BOOM!*
The air pressure caused by Miko’s attack caused an explosive sound to ring out.
“What’s wrong? Why did you dodge?”
Miko taunted.
“Because I prefer to not take unnecessary damage for the thrill of battle.”
Lennox replied.
“Well, I guess running away is unfitting of someone of my status.”
Lennox smiled and ripped off the torn top and coat he was wearing and threw it to the side.
“Come. I’ll take on all your attacks, that way when I crush you you’ll have no excuse for my win.”
He boldly declared.
“Oh? How honorably and noble of you.”
Miko suddenly popped up in front of him and threw a heavy punch.
*BOOM!*
“Too bad I’m not honorably enough to not hit you where it hurts.”
He said as his fist twisted in Lennox’s heavily damaged torso.
“Don’t worry.”
Lennox suddenly grabbed his face and slammed him on the water surface.
“I’m more than tough enough to handle anything you can through at me.”
He lifted his fist up and then slammed it on Miko’s midsection.
*BOOM!*
The blow caused the water to part and reveal the bottom of the lake for an instant.
“That’s good to hear!”
*BOOM!*
Miko slammed his knee on the side of his head and forced him to let go. He then used his hands to push his lower body upwards like a handstand and kicked Lennox under his chin.
Miko then quickly got to his feet, and covered his right fist in golden aura that was shaped like a lion’s head.
“Lion Piercer!”
*BOOM!*
When his fist slammed into Lennox, a loud lion’s roar rang out as the image of a lion burst through Lennox’s back.
“Blegh?!”
Blood sprayed out of Lennox’s mouth like a hose as his body almost fell over.
“Time to finish this.”
The image of Lahmu and Mušma appeared behind Miko, and started to blend together.
“Seven Murder Stars!”
Miko threw a punch in the air and seven burning stars appeared before compressing together in one big star.
The star then appeared on Lennox’s body in seven different locations. And then-
*BOOM!*
The stars then caused seven devastating blows to hit Lennox all at once, leaving seven star shaped holes in his body.
“COUGH?!”
Blood sprayed out the wounds and Lennox’s mouth like geysers. His body wobbled a couple times before he collapsed on the water surface. As if he no longer had the strength to support himself, his body started sinking towards the lake bottom.
“Looks like Lennox got taken out.”
Said Jin as he and others watched Miko’s fight from a far.
“I don’t get it, Gramps. Sure, Lennox was insanely strong, but Miko had the power of three guardians. Why did you think he would lose?”
Said Momo.
“Because things like that doesn’t matter in front of Lennox.”
Nero replied.
“Just watch, you’ll see what kind of being Lennox really is.”
At the same time, Lennox was sinking to the bottom of the lake barely clinging to life.
‘Damn, everything hurts.’
He thought.
‘Looks like I provoked him a bit too much. I was this close to dying.’
He suddenly started laughing but stopped when water started rushing down his throats causing him to almost drown.
“Now then, I guess it’s time.”
The moment he thought that, a strange symbol appeared in his eyes. Immediately afterwards, his body started to heal rapidly and became filled with power.
After a few seconds, Lennox was almost good as new.
*BOOM!*
Miko was on the lake surface when he suddenly saw something shooting out of the water with an explosive force. He looked and saw Lennox standing on the water surface.
“What the? I’m pretty sure that I killed you just now.”
He said.
“Don’t worry about it too much.”
Lennox said as he loosen his shoulders.
“Just hope that you’re not the one dead at the end of this fight.”
He started to walk towards Miko.
“I’m getting real tired of you!”
Miko charged at him.
“Die already!”
“Letting your anger take control in front of a strong enemy.”
Miko suddenly found himself with Lennox standing behind him, having his hand placed on his back.
“God Killing Blow.”
*BOOM!*
An explosion suddenly occurred inside Miko’s body, which caused his chest to spasm for a second before caving in.
“Klahhhh?!”
Miko fell on his knees with blood draining from orifices, like a leaking pipe.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh?!”
He let on an agonizing scream and held his chest.
It felt like his entire being was ripped apart from the inside.
“Gramps! What did he do to Miko?!”
Momo asked as she saw Miko screaming in pain.
“It’s something he did earlier. He attacked the god part of Miko directly, thus causing him unbelievable pain. However, this time he used his God Slaying Arts instead of Demonic Qi, which deals far more damage.”
Nero explained.
“In Lehman’s terms, he's killing the god in Miko.”
Lennox looked down on Miko who was squirming in pain.
“……..”
He silently stretched his arm out towards him, to which Miko responded to by distancing himself.
“P-Primordial Recreation.”
Miko instantly healed himself and stood up covered in cold sweat.
“Oh? I thought that you were done just now, but you sure have a lot of tricks up your sleeve.”
Lennox took a step forward, and Miko took two steps back in response.
“Oh? Are you afraid of me?”
Miko didn’t respond, but his body was visibly shaking.
“Well, it’s not unreasonable to be afraid of me, especially after experience such pain that made you want to rip your soul out.”
Lennox said.
“Plus you don’t know how I caused that pain, so you can't come near me or allow me to come near you.”
He smiled.
“It’s natural for you to cower in front of me.”
“Say what?”
*BOOM!*
Miko suddenly popped up and uppercut him in the air.
“I fear no one!”
He shouted.
Lennox twisted his body and fixed his jaw that was shifted out of place.
“I see. That’s good to know.”
He then charged forward.
“Then show me what you really got!”
“Fine by me!”
Miko drew both Ishma and Regis and charged towards Lennox.
Miko leaped and slashed down both swords, Lennox covered his right arm in all five Qi types and blocked the swords with.
*BOOM!*
He then kicked Miko away and charged after him, swing his hand down in a chop. Miko slashed Ishma upwards and blocked it. However, Lennox grabbed his clothes and dragged him towards him.
“God Killing Strike!”
*BOOM!*
Lennox slammed his palm on Miko’s chest so hard, Miko’s rib cage visibly caved in and broke apart.
“Guah?!”
Miko groaned in pain, but was still able to kick Lennox under his chin.
“Die!”
Miko swung down both swords and cut through Lennox’s body without resistance.
“Ugh?!”
Lennox was forced to step back.
An image of a black dragon appeared behind Miko.
“Raging Dragon Style: Black Dragon Edition…!”
Miko’s two swords started humming and released two roars. Miko’s figure then flickered.
*BOOM!*
The next thing anyone knew, Lennox was seen spinning in the air while being ripped apart by two twisters.
“Twin Black Dragon Twister!”
“T-The Ryukami Sword Art?!”
Lennox was shocked as his body was continuously slashed by Miko’s attack.
After a few seconds, the twister disappeared and Lennox started falling towards the water surface.
*BOOM!*
However, before he hit the water he was hit by the two swords in his midsection.
“Black Dragon Twin Hammer!”
A pair of black dragons shot from the swords and forced Lennox back while trying to bore through him.
“Hah!”
Lennox forcibly redirected the dragons with a blast of Qi from his palm. He then crashed on the water surface and slowly stood up.
Miko on the other hand fell to his knees and instantly used Primordial Recreation to heal himself. His injuries were gone, yet Miko still felt like his body was being torn apart from the inside.
‘I can’t heal the damages to my core?’
He thought to himself and slowly stood up.
‘This bastard is definitely the most troublesome person I’ve ever fought. Unlike Killo who used overwhelming power, he’s crafty and has a lot of tricks and mysteries to him.’
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
He took a fighting stance once again.
“If he’s targeting the god inside me, then I’ll switch it up.”
Miko’s godly aura withdrew and a dark sinister aura replaced it.
“Lahmu, retreat and let Gallu take the role of main power source.”
Miko mumbled to himself.
“Oh?”
Lennox immediately noticed the change.
“So he switch from god to demon. Not a bad move.”
Lennox smirked.
“Now, how will that work out for you?”
“Something isn’t right.”
Alec said as he watched Miko’s fight.
“Miko is one thing, but why isn’t Lennox dead? It wouldn’t strange if he was a Proxy with superior regenerative abilities or a beastman, but he’s only human. Not even qigong should be able to keep him alive after everything he’s endured.”
“So you’ve began to noticed.”
Nero replied.
“It’s true that someone of Lennox’s strength and species should've died a long time ago when facing Miko. In fact, someone of his lineage shouldn’t even be that strong in the first place.”
“Then why?”
Momo asked.
“I don’t know myself, but for some reason Lennox doesn’t follow the laws of this world and continue to break them just by existing.”
‘Doesn’t that sounds like….’
Alec had an idea but he was afraid to voice and simply dismiss it.
Nero continued.
“For some reason, Lennox gets stronger the more the odds are against him. This makes him extremely dangerous to strong opponents and allows him to ignore common sense and fight anyone he pleases. Not only that, the more likely it is that he will die, the harder it is to kill him.”
“Isn’t that kind of cheating?
Said Ace.
“Cheating huh? I guess you could say that his whole existence is a cheat.”
Meanwhile, Lennox looked at Miko who was breathing heavily despite healing himself.
“Looks like you cant rid yourself of the damage your soul received at the hands of the God Killing Blow.”
He said.
“You must be anxious to know what kind of attacks I’m using, so let me explain it for you.”
“I don’t need your explanation.”
Miko answered.
“Now don’t be like that. It’s a pretty interesting tale too.”
Lennox replied with a smile.
“Besides, if you listen you’ll have time to recover.”
“Why would you do that? Aren’t you trying to kill me?”
“Hey, hey. Don’t slander my name like that. I never said that I was fighting you to kill you, you’re the only one fighting to kill. I’m only trying to have a good time.”
Lennox replied with a wronged look.
“Besides, I don’t kill children. I think it’s a waste of potential. I prefer to wait until they’ve grown and peaked so that we can have a nice death battle then.”
He said with a laugh.
“You’re surprisingly a nice guy.”
Miko said.
“Too bad I have to kill you.”
He let his demonic aura dance around him.
“So you’re going to ignore my tale?”
“I said I didn’t need your explanation!”
Miko shouted and charged at him.
“You’re pretty hotheaded.”
Lennox said with a sigh.
“Let’s cool you off a bit.”
Lennox leaped forward and swung his leg, Miko jumped as well and swung his fist.
*BOOM!*
A powerful shockwave spread out and shook the area.
The two leaped back and charged towards each other again. Miko threw a kick, which Lennox ducked under and avoided.
“Purifying Strike!”
Lennox slammed his fist on Miko’s chest and a holy energy flowed into him and destroyed his insides.
“If you had listened, you would’ve known that I can fatally wound Gods, Demons, and Beasts with my Art.”
Lennox said.
Miko clenched his teeth as blood began seeping through the gaps.
*BOOM!*
His slammed both fists on Lennox’s back.
“I already figured as much!”
Miko hit him with a knee strike from below and racked his brain.
Miko then forced him to stand up straight with an uppercut, and started feeding him hooks left, right, and center.
“Haaaaaaaaah!”
Miko roared as his fist pounded all over Lennox’s body.
Lennox then grabbed one of his fists and headbutt him.
“Damn Brat!”
Lennox’s fist was covered in a silver light.
“Beast Suppressing Fist!”
*BOOM!*
The fist hit Miko and the image of a dying dragon burst out of his back. Miko’s eyes rolled to the back of his head as he stumbled back.
“You’re not falling yet!”
*BOOM!*
Lennox hit him with another fist, and an image of a demon being purified burst out of his back.
By this time, Miko was already out cold. However, Lennox didn’t care. He moved to finish the job.
He gently placed his hand on the falling Miko’s chest.
“God Killing Blow.”
*BOOM!*
The image of God being slain burst out of Miko’s back.
Lennox had practically destroyed all the parts that made up Miko, and effectively defeated him.
“………”
Lennox looked at Miko who was laying motionlessly on his back with his eyes rolled to the back of his head.
“?!”
That’s when he felt a sudden chill down his spine.
He looked at Miko and saw his eyes roll back in place. Suddenly black steam started releasing from all of his pores. The lake water also began boiling as the temperature began to rise.
Miko suddenly sprung his feet despite being covered in wounds.
“Limit Break? You’re full of surprises aren’t you?”
Lennox said.
“To think that fighting you pushed me past my limits so much that it caused Limit break to automatically activate.”
Miko replied as he looked at Lennox.
“However, I’m not foolish enough to think that this is enough for me to win.”
“Oh? Finally showing some growth I see.”
Lennox said.
Miko didn’t answer him and started to think.
‘I can’t Deus Malum because I strongly believe that would be the final push to turn me insane. Once that happens I’ll lose control and destroy everything around me until I die.’
He thought.
‘But I need something even more powerful to win.’
That’s when he suddenly had a thought.
“Sigh. Looks like I have no choice.”
He immediately released his three Qi types, this didn’t surprise Lennox in the least.
Miko’s Qi and magic was then released to its maximum capacity, following that his demon aura was released as well causing an oppressive pressure to cover the land.
All these energies then rapidly forced their way back into Miko’s body.
“Is Miko trying to kill himself?”
Nero said when he figured out what was he was trying to do.
“Wait, he couldn’t be…”
Momo’s face paled because what Miko was about to do was something they both thought of, but both agreed that it was too risky. It was even more risky now that Miko had received heavy damages to his soul and body.
“Dragonite!”
*BOOM!*
Miko’s body suddenly began transforming, however unlike the usual Dragonite it stopped half way. This was because activating Dragonite was necessary to use the technique he really wanted to use.
“Miko, don’t do it!”
Momo shouted when she was certain he was about to try it.
“ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR?!”
Miko released an earthshaking roar that resounded for miles.
His fangs grew out, his claws grew 6 inches and instantly blacken, his body was covered with crimson scales which had black scales in the shape of tribal tattoos mixed in, his body grew bulky, a pair of azure and black wings grew out his back, he grew a thorny dragon’s tail, two gold horns appeared on his head, his eyes turned gold, his hair became wild and white, and his body was surrounded by a black smokey aura.
“What the hell is that?!”
Everyone was shocked when they saw the being in front of them, that was not only sinister looking but godly as well.
“Imperial Overdrive.”
Momo revealed the name of the form.
“It’s a combination of all of Miko’s forms, techniques, and blood traits. Theoretically, it should be very powerful however because there are several powers and bloodlines of opposite nature clashing against each other, there’s a high chance that the container namely Miko will exploded under the pressure.”
Momo explained with a bitter look.
“It’s a desperate move that can only be considered suicidal.”
“……..”
Miko stood on the water silently looking at Lennox.
“Well, isn’t this-”
Lennox wasn’t able to finish talking because Miko suddenly appeared beside him.
“Wha?!”
Before he could react he saw Miko’s backhand approaching his face. A chill ran down his spine, so he immediately got out of the way.
*BOOM!*
When the backhand hit the empty space, a loud explosive sound rang out. Lennox then saw an invisible force rip through the space and hit the Eastern Region.
*BOOM!*
He then heard a huge explosion in the distance, and saw a deep trench that showed the path of the invisible force.
“Woah!”
He couldn’t help but shout.
He looked at Miko who was once again motionless.
“This form wasn’t in the data.”
An exciting grin appeared on his face.
“Marvelous, truly marvelous!”
He released his Qi at maximum capacity which made it seem like the entire world was being suppressed.
“For the first time in a while I feel like I can truly go all out.”
He said.
“Now, this is the real reason why we’ve escaped so far.”
Nova suddenly said.
“That place is gonna turn into hell.”
“Let’s go, Miko!”
Lennox charged towards Miko with a momentum that blew away its surroundings. Miko charged towards him with the same momentum.
The two threw a punch towards the other.
*BOOM!*
The earth shook, the sky trembled, and everything in miles was instant blown away by a powerful shockwave.
It felt like the entire continent felt the effects of their collisions.
Lennox smiled and aimed a knee strike at Miko’s head, a hand made of the smokey aura appeared and intercept it.
It lifted Lennox in the air and Miko created a gray orb in his palm.
“Imperial Fuckoff Blast!”
*BOOM!*
Lennox was hit with a blast point blank. The blast destroyed everything in his direction, turn the ground into ash along with whoever was near it.
“Tyrant Fist!”
*BOOM!*
Even so, Lennox appeared from the blast and hit Miko with his fist coated in all five Qi types.
Miko was blown back like a bullet fired from a gun. He twisted his body and dug his feet into the ground to stop himself. However, the blow was so powerful that even when he did so, the speed he was flying back didn’t decrease, instead the ground broke apart and flew everywhere.
“Let’s have some fun, Miko!”
Lennox appeared in front of him and shouted throwing another punch.
Miko clenched his fist and the smokey aura swirled around it and formed a raging dragon head.
“Tyrannical Murder!”
“Imperial Dragon Fist!”
*BOOM!*
A massive explosion occurred and devoured everything for countless miles.
“Kyaaaaaa?!”
The soldiers who were fighting for both sides screamed in horror as the two clashed.
Meanwhile, two figures shot out of the explosion covered in burns.
Lennox formed a hand seal with a smile and a gigantic yin yang symbol appeared in the sky. The yin yang symbol opened up like a gate and a gigantic three faced monster with six arms each holding a burning sword appeared.
“Tyrannical War Buddha!”
“A battle avatar, huh?”
Miko saw the Buddha and stretched his hand out to the side. Regis appeared in his hand a second later.
“Strengthen.”
The moment he said that Regis transformed into a crude looking heavy sword.
“So he can use his qigong to transform and strengthen his weapons as well? Looks like that form maximizes all of his powers not just his magic.”
Lennox calmly said.
“Buddha, slay him!”
The Buddha released a roar and charged towards Miko. When it was close to him, it swung all six swords at once.
“You seem to misunderstanding something.”
Miko stretched his palm and a Yin Yang symbol appeared inside of it.
*BOOM!*
A bright light shot out and instantly disintegrated the avatar.
“This sword isn’t to fight this thing.”
He then popped up in of Lennox.
“It’s to cut you in two.”
He swung the sword and it was as if he had cut the space around Lennox as well. However, Lennox soon faded away.
“I know. That’s why I drew a weapon as well.”
Miko turned around and was immediately cut from the shoulder to the hip.
“Hm?”
Lennox suddenly dipped and ducked a sword thrusting towards his neck. He looked and saw Miko floating above him with two swords in his hands.
“So the one I cut was an afterimage.”
He then lifted his sword and blocked Miko’s attack. However, his sword immediately shattered. But since Miko had put his whole weight behind his attack he was a little off balance and couldn’t follow up.
This was intentional by Lennox. He used alchemy to create a frail sword to catch Miko off guard.
*BOOM!*
He kneed Miko in the chest and the elbowed the back of his head.
Miko retaliated by digging his claw into Lennox’s side.
“Fry, bug!”
A powerful surge of electricity entered Lennox’s body and attacked his organ directly.
“Guaaaah?!”
Lennox screamed out in pain.
Miko used his thorny tail and wrapped it around his neck, and began to strangle him while he fried his organs.
“Die already damn it!”
“Kiss my ass!”
*BOOM!*
Lennox power once again had a massive increase and he forced Miko away with a gut shot.
He then appeared above him and delivered a spin heel drop on Miko’s head, sending him crashing towards the earth.
When Miko fell a huge crater open up with him laying in the center. When he looked up he saw Lennox holding up a rainbow colored ball above his head.
“You dropped five meteors on me earlier.”
The ball the grow bigger than a mountain.
Lennox smirked and said-
“Consider this pay back.”
He then threw the mountain sized ball towards Miko and the earth.
“You crazy fucker!”
Miko flew towards it and roared.
“I don’t want to hear that from you!”
Lennox also charged towards the ball quickly catching up to it. He then punched it.
When Miko saw that he paled.
“Fuck!”
*BOOOOOOOM!*
A massive explosion occurred which devoured everything for dozens of miles.
When it faded only two figures stood in the wasteland of death that was once the battlefield.
Both Miko and Lennox looked badly injured, and could collapse at anytime.
“Haaaah!”
However the two charged at each other and again.
*BOOM!*
Lennox punched Miko across the face, Miko hit him in the gut with a knee. Lennox broke his nose with a headbutt, Miko hit him with a right hook and then slashed him across the face.
Lennox stepped back two times holding his face, but still was able to kick Miko on his temple. Miko stumbled sideways, Lennox hit him with a flying kick which caused him to drop on his back. Lennox then started to unsteadily approach him, Miko struggled to his feet and tackled him with a roar.
The two fell on the ground barely able to move. However, Lennox was a bit faster and got up first. He hit Miko who was trying to get on with a palm strike, which knocked him back down.
Lennox stood in place with his body bleeding heavily and his breath rugged.
“I-I have to admit that I’m reaching my limit here.”
He said as he looked down on Miko.
“I would like to call truce and decide on a draw, but I dont think you’ll be okay with that.”
“O-Of course, I wouldn’t.”
Miko lifted his upper body again and started to get on his feet again.
“It’s either victory or death. There’s no in-between.”
He said.
“Y-You take life too seriously.”
Lennox looked like he could barely stand as he answered.
“That’s why this is the only way I can win without killing you.”
He lifted his palm and pointed at Miko.
“I’ve given you lessons on four of the five types of Qi types haven’t I? Here’s the last one.”
Miko tried to move, but standing and staying conscious was the best he could do.
“Lesson #5:”
A white beam shot from Lennox’s palm and hit Miko.
“Ruler Qi is the rarest and most powerful Qi type of the five. Those who are born with it are said to be born for greatness. A proof of a king you might say.”
*Pulse!*
It was at that moment that Miko felt his body pulsate. Immediately after, his Imperial Overdrive form was deactivated.
“Wha?!”
Miko was incredibly shocked and was immediately assaulted with all the pain he endured through the battle.
“Ugh?!”
He fell powerlessly to his knees.
“Ruler Qi has the ability to rule over souls, that includes the power that comes from souls as well.”
Lennox smirked.
“That includes Qigong as well.”
“?!”
Miko’s felt a jolt when he heard that.
“You bastard, you sealed my Qi!”
He shouted.
“Indeed. This is what separates Ruler’s Qi from the rest, the ability to control another’s Qi and even absorb it and erase it. But don’t worry, I only sealed it. Erasing your Qi might be temporarily but when it happens the victim will have their Qi development stalled for years. They might even have to start over. It would be a waste to do that to someone as talented as yourself.”
Lennox explained.
Once his Qi was sealed he couldn’t maintain Imperial Overdrive which was a composition of all of his powers. In the end, it crumbled.
“Y-You!”
Miko started to force himself to stand with a furious expression.
Another white beam shot through him and caused him to freeze up.
“Ruler’s Qi doesn’t only affect the physical soul, it can affect the spiritual being of a person, namely their spirit and will. What I did was to destroy your will to fight, but since you also possess ruler Qi I can’t completely destroy it but only lessen it.”
Lennox explained.
Another beam shot out of his palm and hit Miko.
“That just now destroyed your will to live. Now you can’t do anything against me.”
Miko collapsed on the floor motionlessly.
Lennox looked at him and smiled.
“It’s your lost, Miko. Whether you want to admit it or not.”
After he said that he turned his back to Miko and started to walk to away.
“Damn, I thought I was a goner.”
He said as he began to focus on recovering.
“……….”
Meanwhile, Miko laid on the ground with vacant eyes.
“How pathetic.”
At that moment, the creepy shadow appeared before his eyes.
“After all that boosting, this is the end result? You kissing the floor after having your enemy spare your life? Hahahahaha, what a proud king you are.”
The shadow laughed.
“What can I do? He’s too strong, and I don’t have the will to go on.”
Miko replied in monotone.
He was like a lifeless person or a doll.
“So you’re giving up just like that?”
The shadow laughed again.
“And here we thought that you were something like a young Satan. You disappoint us.”
The shadow kneeled down and looked in his eyes.
“Just lay there and die like the maggot you are.”
“What do you want from me?”
“We want you to not disgrace us and fall here. Otherwise, it would have been a waste blessing you with my power back then.”
“…….You, who are you?”
The shadow smiled.
“Who do you think?”
“Impossible. Samael?”
“That’s father to you, brat.”
“Father?”
“Yeah. After all, you’re practicing my arts, that basically makes me your father.”
Said the shadow.
“Let’s cut the chitchat. Having you fall here is a huge disgrace to me and I can’t stand that. I couldn’t stand it so much that I had to use this shadow of your conscience to connect with you. Being trapped in a coffin is really troublesome.”
Said Samael.
“Anyway, Young Satan. I’ll ask you again. Are you really going to lose here?”
“I don’t have the will or power to go on.”
“Hmph! Like none of that matters. If you don’t have power than use your Madness.”
“My Madness.”
Shadow Samael nodded.
“There’s nothing stronger than a madman. Even if it’s only for a moment, give in to your madness, after that your will and power wont matter.”
“Give in to the madness.”
Miko’s fingers started to twitch.
“That’s it my son! Show them! Show them the power of Satan!”
Miko’s body started leaking a gray murky aura and his skin began to tear away.
“?!”
Lennox who was walking away suddenly felt a sense of danger he’s never felt before and quickly turned around.
“No way!”
When he looked he saw Miko stand up. No, he only assumed that it was Miko. The thing in front of him had no distinctive features. It was simply a mosaic being in the shape of a human.
“Send him to hell, Young Satan!”
Samael shouted in Miko’s ear.
“Ruler’s Contract: Midnight Blade!”
Miko summoned a jet black sword that was as dark as the night itself.
“That’s Krow’s power!”
Momo said with shock.
“Nothing only that, that’s Gramps Qi Artifact!”
“Ruler’s contract. Augustus’ ability that allows him to use the powers of anyone that he’s made an agreement with. It can even copy the powers of god weapons and Regalia, even inborn talents and Proxy abilities can be copied. A truly broken ability.”
Said Nero.
He smiled.
“Well, it’s not surprising that he can use it as well. That’s why I made the agreement with him to borrow my abilities anytime he wants.”
“Well, fuck.”
Lennox said when recognized the blade.
He wanted to run, but before he could Miko was already swinging the sword.
“Night Cutter!”
A black line then appeared in the space and divided the world with Lennox in the middle.
And then it happened-
The space that was cut suddenly imploded dragging Lennox into it.
*BOOOOOOOOOM!*
A massive explosive sound rang out as the space instantly repaired itself. Miko watched as Lennox fell out off the sky a broken shell of himself. After seeing that, he returned to his normal appearance, but still mostly dead. He collapsed and his conscious started to fade. Even so he kept an eye on Lennox. Before he blacked out he saw Lennox’s finger twitched.
“….Damn it….In the end, I still couldn't kill him.”
After that, he blacked out. Lennox on the other hand slowly stood with his body practically destroyed. He laughed and said-
“In the end, I still win.”
He immediately fell unconscious after saying that ending their long battle.
