118 Oceanic Nothingness (1/2)

Although the Wasteland was technically a layer of the Underground, some people did not consider it as such and only viewed it as a transitory place to the inferior layers.

This wasn't just due to the poor living condition that this layer has, but more importantly, the height of this place was less than fifty meters.

With such a narrow space, any fight among individuals capable of showing a fighting power above Rank 1, will create a destructive force powerful enough to change the environment and reduce everything to nothing around them.

That was exactly what was happening as Sophia and the Eye Lord were fighting. They were constantly launching spears of dark ice and fiend claws made of blood against each other, destroying everything in their path.

Both had great speed and control over their bodies, so they were constantly moving around the place, and a field of destruction was accompanying them as their spells crashed against the ground and the ceiling.

As the fight continued, frustration was starting to appear on the face of the Eye Lord. The number of fiend claws he was conjuring was less than the beginning, but their power has increased and it was certainly greater than the one carried in Sophia's dark spears.

Unfortunately for him, every single one of his claws crashed against the spears and they neutralized each other, leaving no winner.

Neither of them was willing to show weakness, so they increased the power of their spells, and the surrounding destruction grew as well.

The Eye Lord knew that his chance of being victorious was great since his energy pool was greater than his enemy and it was depleting at a slower rate since he did not use a runic set.

But even if he manages to debilitate her, that does not mean he will be able to kill Sophia since those dragonborn that could release an attack powerful enough to disintegrate an Eye Lord were still present, and by that time, he will be so tired that even escaping will be up to luck.

After a moment, the Eye Lord became resolute and his red eyes started to glow as he channels all the energy in him before launching a spell

”Blood Fiend Form!”

Blood started to appear around the Eye Lord's body, transforming him into a twenty-meter tall creature with claws, horns, and a tail that seems entirely made of blood.

The power of Eye Lord increased tremendously, and without delay, he launched himself against Sophia.

Despite the increase in her enemy's strength, Sophia's eyes remained calm, and channeling all of her Abyss Aura and the power of her runic set to the limits, she conjures hundreds of small spears of ice, before making them fuse with each other, forming a dragon tail thirty-meters long and sending it against the blood fiend.

The moment the dragon tail and the blood fiend crash against each other, a shock wave is generated that makes the place around them tremble and the ceiling and ground break apart.

The dragon tail was destroyed and although some damage was made to the blood fiend, it still remained complete but his momentum had dissolved.

The Eye Lord was preparing to resume his attack when he felt two crimson-colored eyes looking at him, and for the fraction of a second, his mind was clouded.

Sophia's Oblivion Eyes only affected him for an instant, but it was enough to decide the battle.

When the Eye Lord was able to focus again, the thing he saw were two dark beams, carrying the same chaotic energy that killed his partner, clashing against him at point-blank range, right in his chest.

A great part of the blood fiend's body chest was destroyed, showing the Eye Lord in its center, and sending him to crash against the ground with impressive speed.

The Eye Lord's condition was serious. He had lost his right arm and his chest was severely damaged.

Seeing the poor condition of his enemy, Sophia's eyes become colder and she channels her energy again, creating another dragon tail.

Just as she was about to send the dragon tail against the Eye Lord and crush his body, a great sense of danger assaulted Sophia.

Behind her, outside her dome of ice, a man covering in shadows appeared, carrying a grey dagger in his hand.

The moment he appeared, he acted immediately, destroying a part of the dome of ice with the dagger, before launching an attack against Sophia's back with the same weapon.

The actions of the man were ruthless, precise, and experienced, demonstrating great skill in this type of surprise attack.
