272 Rematch (2/2)

In just a short exchange, Raven already managed to gain an immense advantage towards the blonde. This situation is a far cry from all of his previous attempts.

Knowing that he gained an advantage, Raven was determined to not let it go. He removed the Resistance Seal which greatly boosted his mobility. With his sudden burst of speed, he placed an immense pressure towards the blonde and forced him into a defensive end.

Each of Raven's attacks contained his laws. It would be unwise to defend against such attack since the aggressive nature of the Destruction Laws will spread at the moment of contact. But Raven cleverly layered his attacks to force the blonde to receive the full force of his destructive attacks.

Pillars with shapes of fists and palms manifested on their battlefield, causing the ground to shatter and become chaotic. There were multiple times when the blonde lost his balance due to the destruction around him but Raven never did, not even once. Due to that, the injuries that the blonde received kept piling up until his body was filled with cuts and bruises.

Pushed to edge, the blond revealed his trump card which is the Petrifying Light. This is was the blonde's last ditch effort to at least alleviate some of the pressure on his shoulders.

If this was his previous attempts, then Raven would've been screwed the moment this Petrifying Light appeared. But now that he gained enlightenment towards Destruction Laws, he could now resist this light.

At some point, all laws would try to resist each other. Just like how Fire and Water mutually resist each other. The same concept apply to whatever's facing the Destruction Laws.

As its name suggest, Destruction Laws had an innate nature to destroy anything it makes contact with, which includes Laws themselves. If Raven's enlightenment was high, then it would very simple for him to just destroy this Petrifying Light and move on, unfortunately he was lacking for now but this doesn't mean that he's hopeless in defeating the blonde.

In the end, his laws is already resisting the petrifying light since it's trying to invade his systems. All he had to do is to keep supplying laws to resist the petrifying light and he will remain unaffected.

And this is exactly what happened.

The petrifying light had no power over Raven anymore. His mobility wasn't hindered at all, he used this to his advantage to catch the blonde by surprise once again.

Raven acted as if he was affected by the light, he deliberately slowed down his actions and placed a difficult expression on his face. The result worked like magic, the blonde saw his reaction and immediately funneled the rest of his energy towards casting is ultimate attack, which was the Petrifying Sun.

Raven sneered inwardly, he kept his act until the blonde was about to finish preparing his attack. Once he saw the condensing light at the center of the Chakram, Raven's eyes gleamed as he immediately dropped his act and threw his hammer with a massive momentum.

The Archaic Thousand Arms Hammer streaked through the air like a blazing black shooting star, carrying an incredible momentum as it flew. It struck the dumbstrucked blonde, causing him to explode into pieces of flesh and gore. The Chakram fell on the ground and shattered at the moment of contact. What's left of the blonde's body turned into streaks of white light that merged with Raven, signifying that he succeeded in defeating him.

Raven jerked his hand and the hammer returned to him. He caught his breath and let out a smile.

”As expected, this battle became easier now that I am equipped with Laws.” Raven then recalled the battle and figured out some places where he could improve. ”The Chakram he held must be a Growth Weapon, similar to my hammer. Which means that my Destruction Laws could damage them, given time I should be able to destroy them easily.”

”If I could concentrate the power of laws, then the corroding effect on the enemy's body shall increase as well. I should also increase the Breaking speed of the law, but how do I do that?”

Raven then started reviewing his previous battle while the space around him warped and returned him to the familiar sight of the Palace Grounds.
