Chapter 832 Venganza vs King in Yellow (II)
Venganza had packed an immense amount of strength in that fist, but it should not have been enough to pierce the King in Yellow’s body, at least not so easily.
The feeling that something was wrong only grew stronger as Venganza saw the one in front of him showing a smile before melting into a yellow aura that paralyzed him.
Before Venganza could overcome the yellow aura carrying the might of the Infinity Truth, the real King in Yellow appeared behind him and embraced him.
The King in Yellow’s already unstable life force was even weaker now, depicting the cost of generating an avatar that could trick the Depravita of Revenge. Still, a smile was on his face as he made his energy go wild.
A wave emerged from the King in Yellow and moved at a shocking speed as it reached the edge of the Eldritch Universe before returning to its origin point.
It was shockingly fast, and in less than a second, it had already returned carrying a monstrous power.
Venganza had just overcome the paralyzing yellow aura when the wave returned. He felt as if the entire weight of a universe came crashing on him, making him puke blood.
The King in Yellow did not let go of the Depravita of Revenge as he generated more and more waves. His Infinity Truth alone was not enough to develop them, so he had to sacrifice some of his life force.
It was a high price, but one that the King in Yellow was more than happy to pay it. If he could devour Venganza, he would regain all he lost and more.
Venganza felt his inner organs trembling non-stop and was constantly healing them. If not for his Depravita Constitution that allowed instant regeneration, he would have perished after the fifth yellow wave.
‘Goddammit!’ Venganza grew furious as he fell into what seemed to be the King in Yellow’s ultimate attack.
All the pain and damage he endured made the Depravita of Revenge’s anger grow. Letting their feelings run wild was not wise, but as ideas made flesh, the members of Sundered Night did not block their emotions during a fight since they could not affect their battle awareness.
If anything, that anger only increased Venganza’s power, precisely what he needed to survive this death trap.
The Depravita of Revenge could feel his anger and rage increasing his power. However, there was a sharp light in his eyes as he remembered the last person the King in Yellow locked into a death trap and the path that person took.
Those memories were something Venganza did not like to visit as they were something that confused him. He had separated from Zatiel Daybreak in every way, except for the feeling they shared for that person.
Nevertheless, the Depravita of Revenge realized something. The rage and anger he felt due to the King in Yellow’s attack was able to achieve synergy with the feeling he felt for that person.
They were becoming more than the mere sum of their parts and achieving a qualitative evolution.
Venganza knew what he needed to do, and a sad expression appeared on his face as he closed his eyes and remembered a blue-haired woman.
The feeling that woman generated in Venganza was able to guide his anger and rage from their chaotic and wild state into something different. Instead of forces ready to explode, they become something greater.
As that happened, Venganza’s face became serene. Unlike wrath, revenge was not fast and wild. It can endure the passage of time, growing even stronger with it. Peaceful and happy times could not erase it since there was nothing that could obliterate the love from where it was born.
No matter the time or space, the friends you make on the way, or the memories you form, revenge will remain. And once it was finally allowed to express itself, it would be like a volcano that unleashed all its power at once!
As those emotions reached their zenith, Venganza opened his eyes, and a dark flame with a red core appeared in them.
“BOOOMMM!”
A pillar of dark flames with a red core emerged from the Depravita of Revenge, and they extended all the way into the Crystal Wall, where they even began to melt it!
The King in Yellow almost let go of the Depravita of Revenge since the flames were too powerful and burned him alive. Still, he endured and continued with the yellow waves, hoping they could end Venganza’s life before his body succumbed to the fire.
Unfortunately for the King in Yellow, his arms began to move despite all his intentions.
Venganza had grabbed the King in Yellow’s wrist, and exerting a force that he did not possess before, he moved the arms of his enemy, freeing himself!
After that, the Depravita of Revenge fired an elbow strike behind him, sending the King in Yellow flying away while puking blood.
Venganza did not chase after the King in Yellow, as he was more interested in the dark fire with a red nucleus. Its destructive power was like nothing he had experienced before, and he felt highly familiar with it.
‘Boss, did you finally take the next step!?’ Ira’s voice echoed inside Venganza’s mind, and it was full of thrill.
The step that Ira was referring to was the evolution of a Concept into an Eternal Flame. Venganza could use the Eternal Flame of Hope once he fused with Ira and Codicia, but that was not his sole power. It belonged to the amalgamation of the forces that Sundered Night controlled, thanks to their dominion of Samsara of Sin and Man.
If Venganza truly mastered his own Eternal Flame, he would have taken the next step and broken the shackles of the Third Realm.
When Venganza heard that, he could only shake his head.
‘I wish things were so simple. I have found my way and can channel a wisp of the Eternal Flame of Revenge. However, it will be a long time before I fully evolve to the Fourth Realm.’
‘I see, what a shame. Time waits for no one.’ Codicia could not help but sigh as he heard that. If Venganza had evolved, then forget about the King in Yellow; even the Flame Imperator would not be such a threat.
‘There is no sense in feeling sad. Anyway, let’s finish this.’ Venganza spoke to the duo before focusing on the King in Yellow with a cold smile.
