Chapter 71 - Level 46 - Beginning (2/2)

After fully forming creature roared and started moving counter-clockwise insanely fast around Magnus. It was moving so fast, it actually created a fiery hurricane that started pushing the darkness back.

Dark was stupified that was that flame and how did it manifest into the creature. If he was at his peak, he could have used his strength to calculate everything he laid his eyes on. However, now with his Universe dead and him being the only survivor, he doesn't have enough energy to waste it.

But one thing was bothering him. That flame was able to selectively burn things, which meant either he has a high degree of control over it, or it's a conceptualized flame. After all, it was hot enough to turn materialized darkness into ash, yet didn't leave a mark on the floor.

”Commendable strength, but a bit weak for the so-called 'God', don't you agree?”

”...”

Dark preferred to keep quiet and just strengthen the pressure of the darkness, trying to break through the fire tornado. But the more he pressed, the faster that creature was moving, thus strengthening the 'barrier' of flame.

”So, you don't want to show your full power? Then let me force you, 'Daemonium Ignis Dominium'!”

Suddenly, a fiery demon, who was busy expanding the blazing barrier, stopped and roared again, scratching everything around with its limbs. What followed the roar, was an explosion of fire that disintegrated all the darkness together with the structures. Thanks to that, a circular area, with a diameter of 60 meters, was evaporated, which included the roof of the building, in which battle was taking place. Strangely enough, the flame didn't dissipate, it was burning in the very air, creating a domain of absolute heat in the area that was touched by the fire.

Dark had to move out from that area, in case that fire has indeed reached the conceptual level. He can't waste energy defending against the concept. It's easier to just evade. Plus either it's a concept or high-level control, it should exhaust that boy fast.

A loud voice boomed out of that domain:

”Well, I've advised you to take this fight seriously. Now, I will stop holding out.”

Dark's figure materialized right outside the domain, but as soon as he did, he had to dodge, because dark-blue fire arrow flying at Mach-16 was close to piercing him. What followed, was bolts of lightning striking from the sky, not letting Dark go on the offensive.

While dodging, Dark felt something wrong. The domain filled with flames started slowly increasing. Moreover, lightning bolts were hitting in a way that forced him to move closer to that field.

'Is he trying to trap me?'

But Dark wasn't allowed time to properly consider his options, because more fire arrows started attacking.

'Seems like, I have no other choice. I can't save on power, now.'

Dark's figure stopped and his skin started shading off his body, revealing dark anthropomorphic faceless creature with dark light shining from inside his head.

Whatever that light touched, including arrows of fire and bolts of lightning, was dissipating into black particles, turning an area of 2 kilometers into a lifeless wasteland.

However, a ball of fire remained untouched. Moreover, it actually started expanding even faster, as if consuming energy provided by that light.

”Time for some big guns!” boomed Magnus's voice.
