366 Heroic Influence (1/2)

Two figures moved at swift speed with one clearly faster than the other.

In their initial clash, Raven sent three attacks while Carl sent 10 while blocking Raven's attacks at the same time.

Raven did his best to evade the lunges of Carl's rapier but the attacks were so swift that his armor got chipped. It had to be known that the Golden Armament of a Golden Knight boasts incredible defense, but Carl's simple attacks managed to chip them away just like that. This is a proof Carl's skills.

Carl suddenly distanced himself from Raven. He flew around him using the speed of light, Raven's eyes narrowed as he readied to defended himself.

All of a sudden, beams of light started flying towards him. Raven erected a Chaos Force barrier around him while simultaneously using the 1st step of the 9 Destruction Steps.

*Boom!*

The shockwaves caused by Raven's Destruction Laws managed to destroy the beams of light flying towards him. At the same time, the shockwaves was strong enough to make Carl's balance unstable, causing him to slow down to regain his footing.

Of course, Raven didn't miss this opportunity to launch an attack. Without hesitating, he sent a mighty pulse on his legs, preparing the 2nd step for the 9 Destruction Steps. As soon as he foot made contact with the ground, everything around 100 meters were rocked by shockwaves, and of course Carl wasn't an exception.

Carl managed to remain stable on the ground but the shockwaves were so strong that he had to give it his all to prevent himself from becoming unstable.

Meanwhile, Raven was just beginning. After using the 2nd step, he channeled his laws and the Fault Signs appeared on his surroundings. While Carl was still being rocked by the shockwaves, Raven increased the intensity by channeling his laws into a nearby Fault Sign and causing more destruction around him.

*Boom!*

The wind howled and kicked up a ferocious gale. The earth shattered and sent rubbles flying in the air, trees were uprooted, dust accumulated and so on. Carl erected a Light Barrier fueled by Light Laws to protect himself from the incoming projectiles. His barrier managed to defend against the projectiles but he was surprised to see Raven weaving another attack in the middle of this chaos.

”Silver Arms: Twisting Decimation.”

Raven called out as ten silver arms with size of castle beams, wrapped around each other to form an enormous battering ram that flew towards Carl's location.

Due to the chaos around him, Carl wasn't able to dodge at all. Raven's twisting decimation was strong enough to shatter the shield he erected, causing Carl to spit out blood while flying a couple meters back. The weight behind Raven's attack was about 1000 tons, that is not something that anyone could just receive unscathed.

Raven managed to block another lunge, while their weapons clashed and sparks flew, Raven raised his foot and performed the 3rd Step out 9. This attack caused everything within 500 meters to be destroyed by his laws, and since Carl was in a close proximity with him, Raven's attack injured Carl heavily.

As Carl was sent flying back from the impact of the shockwaves, Raven saw how chunks of Carl's armor chipped away from where they were. He also saw the stains of blood within his armor, allowing his to realize that he managed to injure Carl heavily.

Raven didn't want to lose his momentum so right before Carl managed to stand back up, he was already preparing to attack once more.

He grabbed the powerful momentum inside his body, he channeled all of his focus and wound up for an attack. He wanted to take advantage of Carl's weakness to end this battle as soon as he could because he knows that once he allowed him to recover, he might never get another chance to attack again.

Raven's heartbeat stopped for a moment, he then felt a massive momentum rising up on his body. He then controlled this momentum and drove it towards his arms. With a few steps, he caught up with Carl. His eyes the bulged from their sockets as he released the momentum as a powerful strike which he sent to the poor guy.

*BOOM!*

The earth quaked hard and the impact caused a massive crater to appear beneath Raven with Carl receiving the full impact. Raven's barrage of attacks were so powerful and destructive that half of the forest they're in were now gone.
