225 Purge Final (1/2)
When they saw the place where the portal connected, even the two strongest of the group, Nero and Heinz, felt threatened by it and did not dare to get closer.
The Reaper's scythe created a portal that connected to a place that is known through the universe as the blackest night, the heart of darkness, and the hunger that devours souls.
The Lich managed to create a ten thousand meters wide portal to the plane of death, the Negative Energy Plane.
Gate to the Underworld was a spell Totto created based on the Rank 4 runic diagram he obtained from Zatiel. It was incredibly difficult for the Lich to perform it, and it was only when he channeled his power through the Reaper that he was able to achieve it.
The black wind started to leave the portal and everything it touched became contaminated by the aura of death.
The Reaper roared once again. He used the Eye of Despair to create a vortex that drew the black wind, making it submerge both him and the Lich.
To any other person present, that hurricane of black wind would have caused irreparable damage to their life force and deteriorated their bodies until they became dust, but in Totto had the opposite effect.
His body started to reform and the wounds on it were disappearing at an astonishing rate. The damage to his consciousness was not so easy to heal, but the black wind was able to purge all the energy that was left inside him by Verius' attacks, so it helped him greatly to contain that damage.
The black wind also nourished the Reaper. The Law Avatar became larger, its power increased and the damage it received during its clashes with the shadowy skeletal hand was fixed very fast.
The black wind was negative energy in his most raw form and the quantities were staggering. To the undead body of Totto and the Reaper that was made by the Law of Fear and the Law Withering, it was very helpful.
Some of the black wind escaped the pull of the Reaper and landed in the ocean where it corrupted the waters as if it was the deadliest of poisons.
When Verius saw all the damage he sacrificed so much to deliver, being erased in a matter of seconds, he was startled. His body was broken beyond remedy and he had a couple of minutes of life force left in him and yet his opponent was bathing in what resembled to be the most heavenly panacea for him.
That image was the straw that broke the camel's back and finally destroyed the last piece of sanity that was left in him.
”BEAST DIE!” Verius launched himself at Totto, completely disregarding the negative energy that filled the air around him.
When Totto saw the suicidal attack launched by Verius, he decided to also give his all. The Eye of Despair worked with even more power and drew more negative energy to both the Lich and the Reaper.
This power was channeled to the Hand of Sorrow, but this time it did not stop there and traveled into the scythe the Reaper was holding and that opened the portal to the Negative Energy Plane.
”Grim Reaper: Despair's Scythe” Totto body freed an immense might as he performed the spell that could only be done by his Law Avatar channeling the power of the Negative Energy Plane.
The scythe started to grow not only in size but also in power and the Reaper grabbed it with both hands before striking Verius' Law Avatar.
”BOOM!”
A sound that made it seem like if the sky was falling apart was heard when the two giants clashed. The power in that clash was the greater they have released in this entire fight.
By drawing the negative energy out from the portal and stealing part of the power in his opponent's Law Avatar, the Reaper reached the level of strength where it was able to equal the shadowy skeletal hand.
The power of the Law of Shadows, Law of Withering, and Law of Fear were wreaking havoc in the surroundings. A tornado formed around the duo that extended high into the sky.
