Chapter 497 - Fifth Apocalyptic Star (II)
Someone moved among the four eldritch life forms at the Early Primary Sun Domain Stage. He went from one direction to the other with speed so immense that it was impossible to see him mid-way, and his figure only became visible when he attacked.
The image of a winged man appeared behind the skeleton Eldritch, leaving a large cut on his back before disappearing. A black force permeated the wound, stealing the energy and vitality in him and sending it away.
Zatiel's Absolute Unity Omega Law can affect matter and energy, meaning the Neo-Demon was getting close to the Omega Seed level.
He appeared above the fireball Eldritch and sent an arc of bluish-purple fire when a mass of burning fog attacked him from the side.
"¡AHHHH!"
The Neo-Demon finished his attack making the fireball Eldritch scream in pain, and just as the burning fog was about to consume him, he vanished.
Surprise appeared in the burning fog Eldritch when he saw that. He was less than five meters away from the enemy, and yet this one disappeared right in front of him.
That shock only grew when he saw the winged man appear behind him right after vanishing.
Zatiel sent another giant arc of fire and left a festering wound in the burning fog.
Neither of the wounded eldritch life forms could understand what happened. Teleportation should be impossible with their energies sealing space, yet the enemy appeared and disappeared at will.
"It is the swords! He is using a technique to move from one to another with incredible speed." The giant eye Eldritch roared those words to his comrades. He had been using his power to analyze the battlefield and discovered the secret behind Zatiel's ability.
The rest of the eldritch life forms were surprised but soon accepted the information. Although the flying swords were incredibly fast, they were not a real threat as they lacked enough offensive power to provoke severe damage.
Only now did the eldritch life forms understand the true purpose of the flying sword. They worked as a beacon for the winged man, granting him a destination he could use as he moved with speed so high that his mind could not keep up with his body.
Zatiel's eyes narrowed when he heard that. The eldritch life form was correct. In his Unity Rebirth Knight form, his body was powerful enough to withstand overloading the Shooting Star Rune, allowing him to move with speed so high that even Supernova Domain existences would have difficulty following him with their eyes.
The giant eye Eldritch felt happy for his discovery and was sure that they would find a way to neutralize their enemy's power with this information.
Nevertheless, his happiness lasted very little, as he detected a sword just positioned behind him.
He stared with fear at Zatiel, who was far away from him. The giant eye Eldritch saw the Neo-Demon vanish, only to feel a sharp pain assault him in that exact moment.
"AAHHHHHH!" The giant eye Eldritch screamed in agony as the sword piercing his body released a torrent of destructive energy that made a massive hole in him.
When Zatiel neutralized the body, a wounded True Self emerged from the eldritch life form and attempted to escape.
It was then that the Neo Prima-Rebirth Domain displayed his last skill.
Giant chains made of Mind Force emerged from the purple eye in the sky and immediately wrapped themselves around the True Self, stopping any attempt of self-destruction or escape.
From the ground, tentacles of Astral Qi rose and captured the broken Eldritch's body, gulping every piece of it.
The surviving eldritch life forms did not have time to be frightened by what they saw as the winged man materialized above them and released a rain made of sharp drops of purple plasma.
They attempted to protect themselves, but other than the skeleton Eldritch, the other two lacked the ability to counter this omnidirectional attack.
The first one to perish next was the giant fireball. Zatiel appeared above the eldritch life form and fell like a meteorite, breaking the Eldritch's body.
Just like with his comrade, chains and tentacles captured the fireball Eldritch's True Self and corpse.
Seeing another ally perish under the hands of someone they considered as nothing more than food enraged the skeleton and burning fog. They unleashed all their power, burning their life force, as they attacked Zatiel.
Their desperate offensive was futile, and in less than thirty seconds, both were defeated, with their True Selves and bodies captured by the domain.
With the four Early Primary Sun Domain eldritch life forms defeated, Zatiel turned his attention to the fight between Ezequiel and the two leaders.
The Supreme Neo-Demon had just risen the spider Eldritch by the ankle before slamming the creature into the ground.
As he handled one enemy, Ezequiel threw a kick and neutralized the three-headed Eldritch's claw aiming at his neck.
Zatiel flashed toward the fight as Antimatter coated the blade of his swords.
An immense sense of danger assaulted the three-headed Eldritch, but when he attempted to put some distance between the enemy in front of him, a sharp object pierced his leg and pinned him down to the ground.
When the eldritch life form lowered his eyes to see the object, he realized it was a spider leg. The white enemy ripped it out from his ally and used it to attack him.
The Supreme Neo-Demon released a blast of white lightning that paralyzed the three-headed Eldritch before turning around and unleashing a barrage of punches against the spider Eldritch.
The three-headed Eldritch recovered control over his body almost instantly, but the six flying swords were already around him.
Zatiel appeared next to one of the swords before flashing from one direction to the other. Six lacerations appeared in the three-headed Eldritch before the Neo-Demon cut off his necks.
"CRACK!"
As the three heads rolled through the ground, a cracking sound came from the spider Eldritch, as Ezequiel's punches shattered the exoskeleton and blasted his head.
Chains and tentacles came for the True Selves and corpses, capturing them.
Once the enemies were dead, both Neo-Demons immediately deactivated their power-ups, returned their battle partners to their heads, and ended the domain.
Zatiel obtained an orb with six chained True Selves, while Ezequiel got a pear full of the corpses' vitality and energy.
Both Neo-Demons were extremely pale and had a hard time remaining steady.. While the fight may have seemed easy, the truth was they both reached their limits, and they could not have kept fighting for much longer.
