Abyssal Awakening - Chapter 640

Chapter 640: Fighting The Apostle Of War
Seeing the grin that appeared on Alice’s face, Kazira had a new sense of anger rise up in her chest.

This mortal, this cretin, actually believes she could kill her?

HER?

The Apostle of War?

Retainer of the God of the Eclipse?

Gritting her teeth in anger, Kazira disappeared from her location and appeared behind Alice.

Countless rusted weapons hovered around her as she took aim and fired!

Physical Resonance!

Turning her body into blood once more, Alice barely dodged as she created a wave of blood mist.

However, Kazira’s control of energy wasn’t affected!

Sanguine Tribute!

Clenching her fist, Kazira tried to gather the blood only for Alice to deactivate her state and jump back.

“Rat!” Kazira cursed, seeing Alice continuously run away.

Grabbing a rusted sword, she plunged it into the ground before pulling it out.

There was now a strange crimson energy coating the surface of the blade as Alice’s senses were overwhelmed by the sense of danger.

Yet before her Absolute Zone could even pick up the attack, in the next moment, she felt a slash through her stomach.

“!!!”

Widening her eye, she glanced down and saw that she had been cut. Everything in a horizontal line had been cut!

Blood converged towards her wounds as darkened limbs healed the slash.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought. You shouldn’t even dare dream of killing me without being able to survive that slash.” Kazira grinned as crimson energy began to escape from her body. Cracks formed across the surface as divinity began to leak.

This sense of suppression, Alice felt a chill down her spine but she couldn’t stop here.

Just as Alice was about to attack, another slash was sent towards her as Alice instinctively turned to the side.

*BANG!!!!

Her arm was separated from that slash.

“Fancy that, I was thinking of cutting you in half down the middle.”

Appearing in front of Alice, Kazira tried to grab her by the throat only for her hand to phase through, but she was prepared for this.

Stomping down, rusted weapons exploded from the ground around them, forcing Alice to create portals in order to avoid them.

“Get back here!”

Reaching out with her hand, Kazira summoned rusted chains that lunged after Alice.

‘Let me!’

Swapping out with Alice, Alyss narrowed her gaze and created a pair of dual blades.

*CLANG!!!

Unleashing a net of slashes, she was able to fend off the attack only for the golden chains to bite into her wrist, causing her to hiss out in pain.

“Gotcha!” Kazira grinned, appearing above Alyss.

In her hands, a pair of infernal chained dual blades like the one Jin used appeared as she twisted her body and slashed down.

“Right back at you!” Alice took over with a grin.

In an instant, the wings of Tiamat unfurled behind her as the conditions for her Triggered Cast were met!

Coils of amplification manifested between them as a singularity spun to life above Alice’s palm.

Duality + Tiamat + Severance!

*RUMBLE!!!!

A line of raw energy pierced forward in an attempt to destroy Kazira’s head, but she managed to block at the last moment!

Her body was sent crashing back into the wall but Alice didn’t let up on her onslaught!

This was the time, the chance!

‘Unleash everything you got!’ Alice motivated herself.

Physical Resonance!

Artificial Resonance!

Resonance!

With all three versions of her resonance now activated, Alice could feel the surge of power pulsing through her body but she wasn’t done.

The ability that she held back on using because she was afraid of the consequences.

At this point, she had no choice but to use it!

Scarlet Wings, Demonic Descent!

Blood coagulated around Tiamat’s wings, mutating and transforming them into a pair of demonic dragon wings, tattered and leaking with energy.

Abyss Artifacts!

Alice could feel the beat of her heart, pulsing with Abyssal energy. Each beat formed a stronger connection to the realm as obsidian shards began to gather above her head, forming a twisted crown.

She could feel the pain in her right eye, a slight tremble but the seal didn’t undo itself.

However, this much was good enough.

Halo of Ruin!

Around the obsidian crown, a crimson halo spun to life, fusing with the crown as energy began to siphon towards Alice from her surroundings.

From her wings, strands of energy that was usually invisible to people were fully manifested. Tendrils that latched onto her surroundings with pulses of light entering through them and into Alice’s body.

She could feel the Sigils lightning up with a glow, a large influx of energy that coursed through her veins.

Bloodline Release!

Behind her, a spectral image of her soul manifested.

And the final nail in the coffin…

Crimson Immolation!

*BANG!!!

A berserk state where all of her abilities are automatically raised to the next level. During this state, the timer of her exile will burn much faster in exchange for unyielding power!

This was everything that Alice could activate. All of her knowledge, all of her powers, all of her preparation.

Void Steps!

“Do you think turning yourself into a glorified light show will save you?!” Kazira shouted, bursting out from the smoke with a wild laugh.

Twisting her body, she spun the chains and threw the blades towards Alic,e who clasped her hands together.

Void Erasure!

*BANG!!!

The energy of the Void collapse around the space they resisted as Kazira widened her eyes.

*CRACK!!!

A singularity spun to life with Alice in the centre, a maelstrom of destructive energy whipped out with countless slashes being thrown in all directions, all imbued with the energy of severance!

The cage that Kazira created showed signs of fracture as a vein bulged around her neck.

Second resonance!

Throne of the Warborn!

She wanted to forcefully drag Alice into her personal realm so that she could end this fight!

However, to her shock, Alice appeared in front of her using Void Steps.

Fractured Form!

Activating her personal artifact, the space around them cracked like glass as even her artifact was upgraded thanks to her Crimson Immolation!

Grabbing Kazira by the face, Alice twisted her body and threw her towards the walls of this cage.

Energy converged around Alice as she fired off a barrage of Void Fluxes towards Kazira!

Authority of War!

*BANG!!!

From the dust, a spire of flames erupted as Alice immediately felt her power being supressed!

“The drums of War beat to my will. Conflict is inevitable, Struggle is eternal. I am the blade that ensures it never ceases. I am the general, I am the warrior, I am the battlefield! I. Am. WAR!” Kazira roared as her giant armoured form burst out of the flames with a giant blade in hand.

Widening her eye in shock, Alice had to dodge!

But where?!

The blade was far too big and even its thinnest edge dwarfed her in size!

Forcefully taking over, Alyss ignored the pain from the chains and glared at the Apostle of War.

Since everything has been forcefully levelled up, so has her own powers!

Gritting her teeth, violet flames erupted from her body as Alyss lunged towards the sword slashing down on their location.

Destruction Point!

She could see the convergence of energy around the blade, the weakness that she can exploit.

‘Body don’t fail me now!’ Reinforcing her arm with as much energy as she could, Alyss pulled her fist back as flames hissed around her fist.

*BANG!!!!

Punching the face of the blade, cracks began to form but Alyss wasn’t done. She couldn’t stop here. Just hitting one point wasn’t enough to break the blade, she needed to hit all of the points!

Phantom Shift!

Destruction Point!

Transforming into a streak of crimson that dashed up the blade, Alyss continued to unleash a barrage of punches reinforced with everything she’s got. As she arrived at the final node, she created a blade of blood and metal.

Void Flux – Cleave!

*KRK!!!!

Breaking the blade in half, Alyss wanted to continue but an invisible force slammed into her from above, sending her crashing into the ground.

Alyss felt as though the weight of the world was crushing down on her as she could barely move a finger never mind her whole body.

“How does it feel? The weight of war? The souls lost and the countless slain. To take up your sword means to bear its weight. Heavy isn’t it?” Kazira asked as she grabbed another giant blade from the graveyard and raised it above her head.

However, as the blade was falling towards Alyss, Kazira couldn’t help but notice movement.

Golden chains disappeared as Alice took over with energy roaring around her body.

“Honestly, it’s lighter than some of the sh*t that Allura hit me with in the past.” Alice chuckled as she decided to gamble.

She switched out to a Sigil she wasn’t familiar with.

Originally, switching out to his power only allowed her to summon certain beasts.

But if it was a fragment of his soul, it should give her access to something more.

Darkness began to spread from Alice’s shadow as raven feathers fluttered in the wind.

Her hair turned pitch black while a layer of energy overlapped the wings on her back, turning it into a coat of sorts.

The crown and the heart began to form a resonance with the Sigil that Alice had just replaced.

From the resonance of these three, Alice could feel a connection digging deep into the archives of the Abyss.

A tether linking to a dormant authority.

She seen it before.

She seen him perform it before.

She seen his artifact. Right now, she felt like she could do it.

Snapping her finger, darkness began to converge into a single corrupted grimoire.
