Dodging and counterattacking as much as I could, I continued making distance from her before she started overwhelming me with faster attacks.

'Using someone that's only in the second stage is limiting her.'

Using that flaw from her made me able to predict instead of reacting to her attacks. A flaw that I didn't know when I was fighting her earlier.

Throwing out a kick, I felt it connect as her head deformed before getting sent flying. Moving my life force towards the leg that I used, I made it recover the broken bones as fast as I could.

Sensing danger, I move to my side as she appears with a hand stabbing where I am.

Just as I was about to counterattack, she suddenly moved faster compared to before as she faced me with a wide grin.

"Got you~"

Crossing my arm in front of me to block, I was sent flying as both of my arms were broken from her attack. Gritting my teeth through the pain, I turn my gaze over to the direction of Grava and Varda only for my heart to stop as I notice the arm that Grava severed.

"GRAVAAAAA!"

Screaming Grava's name as the severed arm suddenly extended before piercing Grava's back.

"Aww~ I'll feel jealous if you look away from me."

Hearing a voice in front of me, I felt a fist hit my chest before I was sent crashing through the buildings.

Trying to make myself move, the pain continued coursing through my body as I noticed my chest caved in from her attack. Using my concept to its limit, my body started recovering as I forced myself to stand up and move toward the direction where Grava and Varda were.

As soon as I arrived, my heart dropped as I saw the state of Grava. Staring at his body covered in blood from his chest made my thoughts a mess.

Kneeling beside Grava, his body is covered in red lines signifying that Chaos itself is eating through him as he slowly dies. Seeing his state made me unable to utter a single word.

Looking towards me, I noticed his eyes became different. Eyes that looked the same as Dainsel, an eye blessed by the Authority of Protection. The eyes that were able to see the 'sound' of the soul.

Seeing him reach out to me with a crystal in hand, I grab his hand. Just from the life force in the crystal, I knew that the real owner of the body was the one in the crystal. Feeling her sorrow flow out of the crystal made me realize that she didn't want any of this to happen.

A poor soul that was tricked by the devourer of the true owner of Chaos.

Letting my life force flow through his hand made me realize that Grava's body was already at its last spark. Finding that out made me hold him tightly as I gave a last spark to the girl's soul.

The glow from the crystal brightens as a little blue bird forms. Seeing her form made me realize what she was. A little bird that wanted to spread songs that people never heard of, a girl that only wanted to sing.

Realizing that made me clench my teeth as these monsters that find joy through their twisted view ruined these innocent beings.

"… Please send my great grandson off, O' little songbird of the skysong clan."

Saying those words to the little bird, I let go of Grava's hand as a wave from my soul spreads towards Grava. As if seeing something, Grava smiled before his eyes permanently closed.

'I am an idiot.'

The thought of trying to survive while fighting a fragment of these parasites made me realize the most important thing when fighting them.

"Finally! I was waiting for you to finish that drama, though I was so close to ruining it because it was boring~!"

Even with if my body is slowly breaking down, I should have done this from the start.

"Or maybe… I should take some of those members of the royal family and kill them in front of you as well?"

"You bastard! I'll kill you!"

Stopping Varda from charging at her, I stood up as both of my Concepts started spreading inside my body.

"Stay here, Varda. I'll take care of this."

"But-!"

"Just stay… I should have done this from the start."

Whispers started echoing through my mind. Whispers that warn me that if I continue, the universe itself will be the one who's going to stop me.

"Are you finally going to take me seriously now~?"

"I'll tear you apart."

As soon as I said those words, both of my Concepts announced their presence as the space around me shattered as chains came out and chained every part of my body as the whispers became louder.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Hoh."

Pushing the limit of my Concept of Strength enough that it doesn't destroy my soul right away, a gauntlet covers both of my arms while a leg guard covers my legs.

"So, it really is you, Resha."

Not hearing her playful tone anymore, I look at her coldly as I grab one of the chains entangling me.

"Shatter."

Muttering those words, a shrill scream of pain suddenly echoes the whole place as the chains on me start shattering one by one. Feeling the power of my manifestation awakened, I was finally freed from the chains along with the whispers that were slowly corrupting my mind.

"An Anomaly… I didn't expect you to become an Anomaly, Resha! Now you're looking so deli-"

"Shut your mouth, Haranoa."

Ignoring the pain that came from calling my manifestation's name, I take a step before appearing beside her. Feeling my fist connect to her face before she could finish her words, she flew straight to the city walls.

"… Protect Grava's body, Varda."

Putting strength on my legs, I push myself toward the direction where Haranoa flew. Kicking the space to move through the air, I appear in front of her again to see her looking at me with a wide smile as her face recovers from my punch.

"HOW RUDE OF YO-"

Kicking the space again, I appear in front of her before stomping her head making the wall collapse.

As if her head getting crushed was nothing, her arms suddenly move and extend towards her. Dodging her hand, I kicked her body making the wall collapse as she flew through the wall towards the mountain range in the distance.

Turning my attention towards the flesh pillar in the middle of the capital, I grabbed a falling debris midair and poured my power into it before throwing it straight toward the pillar in the middle of the capital.

Not caring about the result, I jumped out of the falling wall of the capital before I continued stepping through the space as I followed her out of the city. The feeling that I had already forgotten started surfacing as my body overflowed with strength.

Pain from using my Concept of Strength continued to intensify as I continued stepping through the space itself and shattering it with every jump I made. Pain slowly made me smile as the feeling of my life slowly approaching death became closer and closer.

Finally catching up to Haranoa as she spins midair. I grabbed her head before kicking the space and slammed her on the mountain with everything that I had making the mountain collapse.

Grabbing her arm that suddenly moved to grab my face, I can't help but smile as I crush her arm and tear it off.

"Shatter."

Calling the name of manifestation again, the arm that I tore off shattered in my hand as if it were a glass. The effect of Shatter spreads through her head only for her arm to move and severe it before her body moves away from me.

Looking at her body stands up as tentacles come out of her back before forming a mouth.

"You really are brutal, Resha! I was just playing around with you earlier but now you're going for the kill~!"

Hearing a twisted voice coming out of the tentacle that sounded so happy, I couldn't help but smile as rage started bubbling up in my chest.

"Well… let's fight seriously now, Resha~"

Looking at the tentacles smile in a twisted way, giant tentacles suddenly shoot out of the ground before they swing down in their attempt to crush me.

"Like I said earlier, I'll tear you apart."

The feeling of rage suddenly exploded as I stopped the giant tentacle with my hand and used my Concept of Strength to cover it before crushing it.

"And just like what I did fifty thousand years ago, I'll make sure that I will keep my word!"

More and more tentacles shot out of the ground before shooting towards me. Gathering my Concept of Strength on my arm, I strengthened my whole body with my Concept of Lifeforce.

"SHATTER!"

Slamming my fist on the ground, everything around me exploded as the whole mountain exploded sending Haranoa flying.

"HAHA! YOU REALLY ARE CRA-!"

Using the floating debris as footholds, I moved through the air and kicked her. Pushing my body to its limit along with my soul, I continued stepping through the debris as I appeared behind Haranoa and punched her back.

Ignoring the pain of my soul on the verge of collapsing, I grabbed her legs and threw her towards another mountain before following up with another punch that leveled the surroundings.

Seeing her body slowly recovering from the damage, I stepped through falling rocks around us as I appeared in front of her. Tentacles suddenly shot out of her back only for me to grab it and tear it off her back before using Shatter to destroy it before kicking her back to the ground.

Watching her arm move to push herself up, I step on her back before tearing her arm off and using Shatter on it again. A shrill scream came out of her as it tried to regenerate a head. Seeing that I raise my leg and stomp on it again as the crater we're in deepens from the stomp.

"This game ends now, Haranoa."

Saying those words, I was about to activate Shatter only for me to feel the pain that I only felt once in my life making me take a step back.

"GU-"

The pain made me unable to utter any sound as I felt the crack in it cover the remaining shard of my soul crystal. A pain that I always thought of as my punishment continued intensifying making me unable to breathe and kneel due to pain.

"I knew it~ Your soul really is on the verge of breaking into pieces. I knew that with this body, I wouldn't be able to win~ But at the same time, I knew that in your state, as long as I resist for a bit, your soul will not last that long~"

Looking up in front of me, Haranoa's head regenerates only to show a different smiling face from the owner of the body. A face that shows a twisted beauty, the true face of the being that ate the original Chaos.

Trying to force my body to stand up, a tentacle behind her sent me flying rolling from the hit.

As the cracks continued to spread, both of my concepts deactivated making my concept manifestation disappear.

"NGH-"

Forcing my body to move once again, her tentacle grabbed my neck and slammed me on the side of the crater making me expel the air in my lungs.

"Seriously, you were so rough~ Even though we didn't see each other for thousands of years~"

Grabbing the tentacle, I tried to tear it off only for it to tighten its hold on my neck as she brought me close to her.

"Well, I'm already done playing with you now so might as well eat you before that soul crystal of yours shatter to thousands of pieces~"

Licking her lips as she stared straight into my eyes, more tentacles came out of her back and started forming into a giant mouth full of teeth.

"I'll eat you with great relish, Resha~"

"That won't do, thief."

A voice suddenly rang out as the tentacle holding me got torn apart before I was pulled back before getting placed down behind a woman wearing a black dress.

Enduring the pain from my soul, I look at the woman properly before the realization dawns on me as to who the woman is.

"You… How are you here…?"

"I knew something was wrong the moment I heard the universe screaming from pain in this planet."

Extending her hand in the air, a hole opens as a bottle containing a glowing blue liquid lands on her palm. Turning around, she pours the blue liquid on me making the pain from my cracked soul crystal weaken enough for me to endure.

"Resha, didn't I tell you to take it easy until I come back?"

"You whore, answer me! HOW ARE YOU HERE?!"

"Stop being so loud, worm. I'll deal with you after my talk with Resha."

"IF YOU WON'T ANSWER THEN I'LL JUST EAT YOU AS WELL!"

"You parasitic worms really lack the function to comprehend. A trait that is no different to each and single one of you."

Waving her hand dismissively, darkness appeared below Haranoa before countless hands suddenly extended and grabbed her.

"This…! LET GO OF ME YOU BASTARDS! I'LL EAT ALL OF YOU, SHU- UAAAAK!"

As if finding her loud, the hands started tearing her apart piece by piece as if she was just a piece of meat that was thrown at them.

After a few seconds, her screaming ceases as her torn body disappears along with the darkness that tore her apart.

"I'm sure she felt that in her soul so that's a plus in making her feel pain."

Gritting my teeth, I was about to open my mouth to say something only for me to suddenly feel the urge to fall asleep.

"As for you… you need to rest."

Placing her hand on my head, she started caressing it making my consciousness slowly drift off.

"Don't worry, you will feel better once you wake up from your sleep."
