Chapter 676 - Deathmatch (Part 6): Sacred Vanquisher And Abyssal Conqueror
...
As the battle continued, Justin was slowly being pushed back by Shin's continuous assault. He couldn't keep up with the complex play style that the opposing side had.
Shin kept on switching the forms of his left-hand sword while also attacking Justin at the same time. On top of that, his Elemental Possession was also coming along with the process of his sword transformation. And this time, the transition from one sword form to another was much more flawless than before.
Moreover, Shin was also changing his battle style and tactics each time he changed the form of his left-hand sword. And with such a complex attack pattern, Justin was thrown in confusion where he didn't know how to properly respond to each of Shin's attacks.
Such a style in battle was really taxing on Shin's mind, especially that he needed to keep using the 'Eclipse Wielding' all the time to counter Justin's specialized mana..
But Shin was still acting calm and composed despite that being the case. In fact, he seemed to be enjoying the battle given that he was currently smiling from ear to ear behind his mask. And even if Justin couldn't see it directly, he could clearly sense what Shin was currently feeling.
Justin tried to contest with Shin by also doing the same switching style every time he changed his Elemental Possession repeatedly. Unfortunately, he was not like Shin who had a monstrous amount of willpower to keep up with such a taxing style.
Moreover, Shin was also mixing some of his sword-drawing skills in his attacks to further complicate the complexity of his attacking patterns. And because of this, he was able to overwhelm his opponent and deal a considerable amount of damage as more time passed.
The so-called Demon God clearly understood that he would lose this battle if he let the current situation continue. And due to that, he didn't hesitate any longer and quickly revealed all of the cards that he was hiding.
Boom!
A powerful aura was suddenly released from Justin's body, forcing Shin to move away due to the sudden threat that came out of nowhere.
At the same time, he also felt that his body was getting heavy because of that particular pressure that was coming from Justin.
"A Domain Skill, huh? Then have a taste of mine!" sneered Shin as he quickly activated his own territorial skill.
'Grim Reaper Skill (Tier 2): Monochrome Field'
The world within the 50-meter radius around Shin suddenly turned black and white as all of the negative status effects that he received from Justin's skill were simultaneously lifted. And alongside it, the domain skill put a series of debuffs on his opponent.
"I'm not done yet!" said Justin as he activated yet another domain skill to counter the one that Shin just cast.
"As if I am!" responded Shin as he also activated another Domain Skill. And this time it was the one attached to his helm.
'Equipment Skill (Help): Ruler's Authority'
Bang!
Justin was at a slight disadvantage when it came to the quality of Domain skills. And because of that, he was forced to use two-fold berserk to compensate for his current stats that suddenly became worse than Shin.
Shin knew that this battle was already coming to an end when he saw Justin start showing his trump card one after another. But despite him being in a clear advantage, he still did not let his guard down even for a moment.
"Since everyone already knew about my dual identity, I guess there is no need to hide my other style too," muttered Shin as he suddenly released the sword form of his sheath before putting his sword back in it.
After that, he swapped all of his equipment with the other set that he had including his weapon and the cloak that he was wearing. And the moment Shin did that, his presence immediately became faint, making Justin wear a deep frown.
"What is it this time?" mutter the Demon God to himself as he locked his gaze at Shin. And from the expression that his face was making, it looked like he was afraid that he would lose sight of the latter if he blinked just once.
In the meantime, Shin took out the newly upgraded [Dusk Blade] and [Dawn Blade] and held each of them, pointing to the ground.
"Whitie! Blackie!" he said with a quiet voice to summon the twin Elemental Spirits.
The two stood behind Shin for a brief moment before transforming back into a speck of light that fused with each of his sabers. Whitie fused with the [Dawn Blade] while Blackie entered the [Dusk Blade].
Just like how the other Elemental Spirits changed the appearances of his swords, these two also transformed the forms of his sabers while also giving Shin an additional boost on his stats.
Aside from their colors, those two weapons were completely identical to each other. One was like the furs of a white tiger while the other had two different shades of black color.
'Dual Elemental Spirit Possession: (Light Reaper) Sacred Vanquisher
– (Dark Reaper) Abyssal Conqueror'
Bang!
The pressure that was coming from Shin immediately doubled the moment his sabers changed their forms. And when he activated the 'Eclipse Wielding' on top of that, the threat level that Justin was getting from him immediately jumped two levels higher, making the Demon God become even warier of him.
Justin knew that just having two-fold berserk was not going to be enough to contend with the current stats of his opponent, which was why he immediately activated two more berserker skills, making his buffs reach the four-fold berserk.
Shin stared at Justin for a couple of moments before directing his gaze at the health bar above his opponent's head. He dealt quite a lot of damage earlier which was why the latter's Health Bar was currently two-thirds of its total.
Regardless, it was still way more than the Health Points that he currently had. Justin had seventy million HP at the start of the match while Shin was only around thirty-two million at most. And after trading blows for quite some time, he now only had fifteen million HP remaining.
Both Shin and Justin had a special regenerative skill that would assist them in recovering their missing health much faster. And given that they were fully aware of it, the two of them quickly made their respective moves to attack.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A massive explosion of powers immediately followed after the collision of their weapons. And right after their initial clash, both fighters quickly start trading blows with each other.
Boom!
Just like earlier, Justin had a slight advantage in terms of strength, so Shin didn't try to fight him in a direct confrontation. Instead, he used his advantage in terms of speed and circled around his opponent while throwing his attacks.
Given that, Shin also used his own Phantom Dance Skill to maximize his damage potential and to also make his attacks more complicated.
This time, he was not using his switching-sword style anymore. Instead, what he was using in this final confrontation was the typical dual-wielding style, which was also a quite common style in battle.
So, to avoid any kind of accidents from happening, Shin relied on his Phantoms to confuse Justin while also making the latter wary of his 'Eclipse Wielding'.
That combat technique had twin elements that could cause some disturbance to his opponents if he was able to utilize them properly. The interchanging temperature of absolute cold and immense heat was producing some status effects whenever he managed to land a hit on his opponents.
A clean hit was not needed this time, as long as his swords lightly grazed his opponents, the status effects would immediately follow.
Moreover, these negative effects were also being enhanced by his current Elemental Possession. Aside from the bonus stats that he was getting from Whitie and Blackie, the two were also providing him some extra Elemental Affinity that was making him more familiar with Elemental Mana.
The two continued to exchange hits, making their HP Bar drop at an incredible rate. But since their Health Bars were being displayed in the live broadcast, all of the viewers could tell that Justin was currently losing.
Not long his HP Bar was dropping constantly, but he was also barely able to decrease Shin's health points during their exchange.
Justin's speed was also getting slower and slower during the fight. And when all of the audience noticed that, they already knew that the Demon God was about to fall in this battle.
Bang!
But when everyone was thinking that this fight was already over, Justin managed to push Shin backward with a powerful punch of his demonic arm.
Swoosh!
Shin was planning to immediately charge back to his opponent right after he managed to stabilize his footing. But before he could even make his move, he suddenly realized that he was currently trapped within a special formation where he couldn't use any kind of movement skills.
"You are right. It is time to end this," said Justin as he suddenly swung his demonic arm on the ground in front of him.
Not long after, Shin suddenly noticed that the sky suddenly turned dark. And when he raised his head towards it, he suddenly saw a huge portal opening above him while a gigantic demon-like fist was emerging from it and starting to descend towards him.
Swoosh!
'Demonic General Skill (Tier 2): Doom Fist of Death'
Boom!
Then a massive explosion shook not only the entire battlefield but also the hearts of every viewer that were watching the match.
