Chapter 150 - An Unassailable Darkness
The sword swiped in a wide motion and struck all the illusions of macho men.
Haste had allowed Kyros to move beyond what his body can.
This speed would definitely injure and strain his body, but he didn't care. There was a delicious mean containing the soul of the Blood Calamity around him and another drop inside him. So whatever injury or strain he might get in his body-breaking attack would be healed when he devours the blood.
Kyros slashed out, and a loud sonic boom echoed as Kyros broke the sound barrier and moved with such haste.
The swift slash contained the power to cut and devour. The soul form of the Blood Calamity was ethereal and wouldn't be harmed by normal physical attacks.
The true form of these avatars was a small drop of blood that floated around. This drop of blood produced the form of the Succubus earlier, and it was this blood that invaded Kyros.
Everything else was just a reflection of the soul of the Blood Calamity.
But Kyros used True Cut. It was the concept of division that Ancient God Hyperion created to divide the whole Universe.
From a Grand One, Hyperion severed himself and began to sever the Universe into many.
The pitiful soul forms which had very little soul defenses could not resist this cutting power.
"AHHHHHH!" The two souls screeched loudly as they felt the pain of getting cut. The unexpected power to cut them came as such a surprise.
And the True Cut was not only power. The sword that Kyros used was the Bloodied Sword, and it began to devour the souls of the two avatars.
The small blood drop was also suctioned into the sword and absorbed.
The soul that became Dream Parasite also felt great pain. All their souls were connected, and since two souls were slashed and devoured, this soul felt pain.
Several shouts also echoed out, and Kyros took note of their corresponding locations.
Kyros then used a quick release of Skotos Eis Phos to make his Dark Core release a bit of holiness.
This was his one chance to hide his holy powers.
The holy energy coursed through Kyros's entire soul, causing the Dream Parasite to be burned in pain.
"AHHH!" The cry of the Dream Parasite resounded within Kyros's soul.
"Found you!" Kyros sent more and more of the holy energy to the location of his soul, where the Dream Parasite's cry was heard.
Darkness returned as the quick Holy flash in his soul ended, and Kyros used his Devour ability to eat the dying soul.
The pain of the soul being devoured made the other Avatars screech and retreat.
Kyros turned his attention to the blood drops nearby. It had lost all power and fell to the ground from their previous levitating movements.
The sword stabbed on the drops, and they too were devoured.

Kyros ignored the many notifications and focused his attention on the many painful howls.
Even the chimera was trembling in pain as the Blood Tiger Golem took advantage of this time to attack it.
The appearance of the sealed place was finally brought to life.
There were numerous pillars like it appeared, but it was more dim and broken compared to what it was at first.
"She lied to you! It seems that this place doesn't have the time and space distortion effect that she claimed to have!" Calaminus observed.
"What the hell did you show her?!" Kyros shouted.
"What you asked. I don't know why she showed you that odd vision! I didn't show her anything weird! I'm as shocked and disgusted as you are!" Calaminus lied.
Kyros was extremely angry and turned her rage on the Blood Calamity.
"She must have believed that since my feral past was too much that it tampered with my reasoning. She probably decided not to show me a vision of those mighty beings because she probably cannot use her powers of lust to draw me to seek answers. And so she went on this path..." Kyros raged. The more he thought about it, the angrier he was.
[Dark Maddening status acquired.]
"Wait... What?!" Calaminus was stunned.
Why did that status appear? Kyros had never been affected with Dark Maddening since he ate so many dark creatures in the Temple.
"Kyros? Are you alright?" Calaminus asked, but it was no use.
Kyros's gazed upon the screaming and pained avatars of the Blood Calamity nearby.
Kyros suddenly moved and ran towards another soul avatar.
The Blood Calamity noticed it and began to gather all her blood into one place.
"Kyros! Stop! Your rushing in! Don't you have a plan!" Calaminus tried to warn Kyros, but it was as if Kyros could no longer hear him.
The remaining drops all rushed towards the location of the chimera and combined into one.
Kyros gave chase and madly released his force energy and slashes at the chimera.
The surge of power from the chimera allowed it to bite the Blood Golem, and it fled from Kyros, who was wildly chasing it.
"Kyros! Stop!" Calaminus shouted. Kyros was acting out of character. He was never this reckless. He had always won due o his superior knowledge, and chasing the chimera and forcing the Blood Calamity to bond all their blood was just stupid.
If their drops of blood came together, the Blood calamity could easily overpower Kyros in powers and might. Especially since Kyros didn't have all his Cores with him, nor does their circumstance give Kyros the luxury of preparing and channeling his powers to make the previous attacks that could hurt level thirty warriors with high vitality stats.
SLASH!
Kyros sent another slash full of True Cut and was draining Kyros from his energy.
The mad attacks contained all his Force Energy and his Source Energy as now being expanded.
"No! It can't be! Did Kyros drink too much blood that it allowed his Dark Maddening to take root?" Calaminus realized.
The three blood of the Blood Calamity might have been too much for Kyros. And since Kyros devoured the three blood drops with such haste, it would have been too much. Even compared to the blood drop that the large orc had, the purity of this blood was just on another level.
Most of what the large orc got was sent back here to cultivate the pureblood. So the two were on different levels. And Kyros just drank all three drops.
Strange darkness was covering Calaminus's entire soul, and his vision grew dimmer and dimmer. No matter how much he shouted and tried to warn Kyros, and even when Calaminus tried to use his abilities, it did not have any effect.
But as the darkness covered him, Calaminus now recognized the power of Darkness here.
"This is... his unassailable darkness! Kyriachos!"
As Kyros continued to chase, a darkness began to shroud his body. His thoughts and vision vanished, and Kyros found himself falling into deep darkness.
As Kyros fell, he saw one last notification before losing the last remnant control he had over his body.
[Form of the Fallen Nephilim acquired.]
