Chapter 1061: The Logic-Defying Clash Across Null Remnants! (2)
It shocked those who had already been dragged here once to find that they were destined to
see the splendour of the dark void littered with stars again. It was also ironic that they weren\'t able see it coming, just like the first time.
Unfortunately, they all failed to realise that this time, things were going to be much, much worse than the first.
It should have been apparent from the fact that while this was the Boring Mine Nova Star Course, they had all been summoned to a different area within it. Massive shards of bright, hot rock drifted through the Null space wantonly while spitting out huge volumes of fiercely scalding Null Life Essence.
There were thousands of them, not to mention the close starry bodies behind them, some of which came in a vibrant purple-blue hue.
The sight was certainly enough to put everyone on edge, and that included the masked man and the dragon, who had been the forerunners in the clash an instant ago.
Warding Pride, Eaniss and the Bishop hurried to use their Nitros to defend themselves against the deadly effect of the boundless well of Null Life Essence that supported the pitch-black space.
This was indeed wise.
However, when they felt the fabric of seemingly infinite space get ripped apart, hundreds of shards of stars piercing the darkness with furious speed towards their six targets, the chaos began, and it wasn\'t going to stop.
The remnants of the Severed Union were buried in the edged, scorching matter, quite like the Herald and the masked man, who found that their burden was doubly hefty, as two massive stellar bodies suddenly rammed into them each in addition to the flying debris!
...And then they exploded violently while maintaining their staggering speeds!
Disgusting explosions lividly rocked the dark void of space, but they could hardly be heard. The sheer heat they set loose was even more devastating than their acoustics. They were so unbearable that it was hard to imagine anyone escaping them alive.
Warding Pride had her teeth ground to their limit the whole time she endured the pieces of fiery space rock. She had managed to configure a barrier that looked like slim flower petals and wrap it around her before she was hit, but she was still in a dire situation.
The large pieces of partly molten debris pinned her in place while carrying on, as though intent on slamming her somewhere more lethal than themselves.
The Faction Leader could feel her body shaking from the velocity, despite her Nitros.
\'Shit!\' she cursed. \'I have to-\'
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Warding Pride heard the stellar shards pinning her erupt into chunks one after another.
...And then the temperature rose dramatically!
It became so hot that her barrier melted within a millisecond and she groaned as she set to create another one.
Was a star hurtling her way?!
Warding Pride couldn\'t help but think so.
But that wasn\'t the case.
Right when her next barrier was about to manifest, a figure appeared before her that turned her blood cold.
A monstrous, dark creature with six arms and radiant warts on its body rushed her.
From the curved hole that was apparently its mouth, mocking and ridiculing her with a hoarse chuckle, liquid flames spilled like drool.
The creature was grinning as it pushed a furiously hot shard with raging Null Life Essence embodying intense heat, against her!
Warding Pride panicked, and she immediately screeched, "Majestic Territory...!" even though her voice was unlikely to travel through the Null space.
Her Nitros exploded forth to create a hard shell around her and the loathsome creature... but it all immediately collapsed inward.
... Because a vast star immediately came charging in like a freight train from behind the amalgam, and then it denoted, wrecking everything in sight with a devastating, blazing shockwave!
The Null space trembled. Heat reaching the millions of degrees coursed through the darkness while brilliant, radiant flares tried to light it up.
Warding Pride couldn\'t have conjured another barrier in time, but she managed to survive.
She had drown all the Nitros she wished to create a Territory with and covered her body with it, but even then, her pretty face only came out intact as an ugly, greyish black bump full of boils and burnt blood. Her legs and one of her arms had also failed to survive the impact, unfortunately.
As she drifted through the open space, amid the lights and sparks... the unharmed figure of the amalgam charged from the pit of the furnace she had managed to avoid and launched his assault!
Warding Pride couldn\'t see him, but she sensed him.
She was beyond mortified.
With all her effort, she cried out a Creed to restore her mana, but not before three fists plunged mercilessly into her chest and her gut!
...!!!
The Faction Leader felt agony like she had never felt before.
The first two blows she felt, rent her bones and busted her lungs and heart easily, but their impact also resounded through her mana channels. She felt each inch of the mana paths
rupture and explode all the way up to her mana core!
She couldn\'t have known, but this was the effect of Dual Mana-sourcing Force!
The third fist, which reached her gut, tore her in two.
Warding Pride\'s eyes flickered. The torment was too much for her in that instant, and it was also mixed in with rage and hatred.
The amalgam saw these emotions on her. He brought his 1 ose to hers.
"Hmm. I suppose your territory in the Severed Union belongs to a monster now. How ironic," he said.
When Warding Pride opened her mouth to voice a retort, the Penetrator pulled on her throat, relieving the woman of her voice box.
He then grabbed her head, and then the dark void around him lurched, allowing its master to appear where he pleased without needing to move.
The amalgam reached the Bishop, her illusory cathedral and her subordinates. The woman\'s head snapped in his direction immediately.
At the sight of Warding Pride, she didn\'t show a speck of sympathy, but her hollow sockets seemed to burn with fervour.
The amalgam grinned and threw his victim\'s torn body towards the Bishop, who kept her eyes
on him.
The clothes the fading Warding Pride was wearing, began to light up and in the next moment, their owner\'s body exploded before letting loose a gigantic bolt of Levin with a single edge,
straight and fierce like a lance!
...!!!
The Bishop had not seen that coming.
She couldn\'t have known that while in this place, where the amalgam could rule over with Araeyn\'s skill, [Dimensional Submission], he could imbue his skills on any inanimate object using [Wealth of Spoils]... without needing to touch them first. And thus, Vohnvolt Exonn had inscribed the [Nullmancer\'s Unforgiving Lancet] into Warding Pride\'s garb and activated it
from there.
The Bishop and her cathedral were impaled and sent barrelling through the boundless
darkness to an unknown fate!
Just like that.
Her subordinates, the built man that always sang the Collective song, found themselves being
swallowed by a vast, bright cloth that extended from one of the amalgam\'s hands, and that
was the last of them that would be seen.
The amalgam had the surrounding space cheat again, and in another nano-instant, he was right in front of Eaniss, who, quite like the Bishop spotted him at once.
The amalgam and the Head Faction leader stared each other down for a few seconds, and then
both acted without a word.
However, the one to actually land a blow, was neither.
"You\'re doing a better job with this! Keep going !!"
...!!!
At the words, the amalgam instantly realised who was he dealing with.
His body, affected by the subtle surge of energy in the assailant\'s voice, shot up through the
dark void with uncontrollable speed!
Vohnvolt scoffed.
This Veneration art...
\'I think I understand how it works now...\' he thought, and then his socket flames suddenly
dimmed. \'Ah, it\'s already time, huh?\'
Right then, the distinct void of space disappeared, and what took its place was another
dimension entirely.
Eaniss and her defender stood, rather, swam hundreds of meters above the amalgam who
jeered at how stunned they were at the change in scenery.
They had no idea what they were in for.
