Abyssal Awakening

Chapter 329: Avatar Of A God

Seeing the black hands crawl across Void Fang, Enris stopped smiling as her eyes widened.

Curling her lips into a grin, Alyss adjusted her grip and entered an offensive stance.

"Oi, what do you think you're doing?" Enris questioned. There was a layer of hidden anger beneath her voice.

"What's wrong? Surprised that I can copy your weapon? Honestly, if you have any worthy techniques, my twin would've stolen it instead." Alyss laughed as she lunged towards Enris.

Flames erupted around her body as she arrived in front of Enris in an instant and swung down with her blade.

*BANG!!!

Colliding with the Cleaver, she wasn't pushed back at all as Void Fang was now contesting against the Holy Relic!

Gritting her teeth, Enris felt anger rise up as Alyss dared to copy her favourite weapon.

"A fake can't surpass the original!" Enris shouted, forcing Alyss back as Void Fang was knocked to the side and opened Alyss's guard.

Following up with a downward cleave, Alyss grinned as she swapped places with Alice.

At that moment, a blood mirror appeared beneath her as Alice allowed herself to fall and teleport above Enris.

Narrowing her gaze, she tightened her grip on Void Fang's handle.

Several sparks flickered across the blade as violet flames soon took hold before being compressed into a single glowing edge that seemed to distort the surroundings.

Executioner's Blade!

Activating Allura's sixth Sigil, Alice's body became a blur as the travel time between the slash and her target was eliminated!

*BANG!!!!!

Landing heavily on the ground, blood splattered in the air as her slash managed to cut off Enris's right hand!

Enris's pupils shrunk and became bloodshot as an array of rusted weapons erupted from the ground around her while Alice jumped back in order to dodge the attacks.

Parrying what she could, she created blood mirrors to teleport those that she couldn't.

Looking at the blood of a God being wasted on the ground, Alice swallowed her saliva and held back her desire to try it out. She noticed that it had a different look compared to the usual blood she was familiar with.

Each droplet seemed to be filled with a strange shimmering radiance as though the entire night sky was condensed into a single droplet, flowing with the light of the stars.

"That's it, I've had enough of this sh*t! Worthless trash!" Enris shouted as her hand reconstructed itself.

A malevolent aura exploded from her body as her hair flared up from the pressure around her. Each step created a crack in the ground as the realm tried its best to suppress Enris but it was no use.

Not even Velouria could stop her right now.

'This… isn't looking good.' Alice's smile twitched as she looked into the air and froze.

A storm of clouds gathered above them as an oppressive aura crashed towards the battlefield.

Little by little, a figure began to reveal itself!

A God's fifth ability, the power to manifest their true form upon the battlefield.

Even without attacking it, Alice instinctively knew that she couldn't harm the Avatar of a God.

'Okay. Maybe, just maybe, we're a bit in over our heads this time. Even if we drink the blood of a God, and on the off chance that we can even contain that power, we still can't go against that.' Alyss agreed as she too was feeling nervous.

Parting through the clouds, a robed figure leaned down towards the battle. Tattered robes fluttering in the wind, its figure too large even for the skies of this realm.

Countless tendril-like limbs and broken weapons scattered across its body while the scent of death emanated from its form. Yet within this chaos, there was a strange sense of elegance.

White lights manifested through the cracks of its 'face' or rather, what would've been the face. Beneath the robes, one could see glimpses of the remains of a body. Bones that peeked through the gaps and the twists of muscle.

Hollowed whispers and cries echoed out all at once as Alice could feel her every sense being overwhelmed.

Her mind could not accept the presence of a God's true form as she collapsed on her knee and began to bleed from her nose.

From the right side of the avatar's body, its robes were pulled taut as countless limbs squirmed beneath the fabric.

"Enris!!!" Solaris shouted out in shock.

Even if they wanted to deal with Velouria, this was not the way!

"Shut up! I don't care anymore!" Enris bared her teeth as her eyes glowed with a maniacal red.

Burns appeared across her body as the scars of chains manifested yet she continued the descent of her Avatar.

From beneath the tattered robes, a single withered hand revealed itself and reached towards Alice.

Velouria wanted to interfere but Lumiria prevented her movement.

An invisible force latched onto Alice's body as she was pulled towards the Avatar helplessly. Even with Cayla, she couldn't comprehend the energy behind this being. The power that crafted its body and the power it's exerting over the realm.

As she hovered above the Avatar's palm, tiny as an ant, Alice came face to face with the hooded figure.

She was able to see the amalgamation of limbs, smoke and lights that threaded together into an unknown.

Her mind, escaping this madness to imagine a 'face'.

A single glowing red mote that represented the eye bore down on Alice as she could feel her energy withering at an alarming pace.

Gritting her teeth, Alice wanted to use Allura's power to break out of this. Yet the moment she summoned her strength, it faded away almost instantaneously before she could even use it!

'Alice swap with me!' Alyss called out, hoping to use the nature of her soul against this Avatar.

However, no matter how Alice tried to swap, she was stuck here.

Her pupils shrunk as she instinctively closed her eyes.

"I asked you to seek an answer with the Will. But it seems like you have failed as well. The Will is someone who simply wishes to observe and I guess neither of us can change that." Nyer's voice rang out next to her ear as Alice opened her eyes and saw Nyer standing next to her.

Narrowing his gaze at the Avatar in front of him, he activated two markings on his body as the power of Severance and Corruption erupted from his body.

Aiming his index finger and middle finger towards the Avatar of Enris, he swiped down.

*BANG!!!

Crashing down from above, golden chains manifested and whipped around the Avatar's neck.

"ARG!!!!" Crying out in pain, Enris stumbled back as a burn mark started to manifest on her neck, matching the chains on her Avatar.

"How… How is he using the Natural Laws of this realm?!" Enris shouted out in anger.

Velouria could no longer use the Natural Laws that encompassed this realm as her control had waned. Yet Nyer was doing what Velouria couldn't. Her knowledge that Velouria couldn't use these laws was why she was so confident in summoning her Avatar.

But if Nyer could use the laws, summoning her Avatar was suicide!

Closing his eyes, Nyer activated Cayla's power as he brought his fingers together before snapping them.

*CRACK!!!

Tearing the fabric of the realm apart, spectral hands far larger than what Velouria had summoned before descended and wrapped around the Avatar, Grabbing hold of the Avatar, Nyer curled his lips into a grin.

"STOP!!!!" Enris shouted out, jumping towards Nyer in a panic as he ignored her cry.

Reaching forward with his hands, he took control of the spectral limbs and tore the Avatar apart!

Widening her eyes, Enris threw up a mouthful of blood as her bloodshot eyes glared at Nyer.

Power left her body as she helplessly fell towards the ground.

*BANG!!!

Slamming against the floor, Enris was motionless in a pool of her own blood, struggling for breath.

Seeing this, Solaris's expression turned sour as he gritted his teeth in anger. He had to come to a decision and quick!

As for Lumiria, she understood that their advantage had been lost. Now that Nyer was here seemingly with the power to control the Natural Laws of this realm as a God would, it was clear that they weren't going to win this.

"Sorry but I'll take my leave here. I'll be safer in my own domain." Lumiria shrugged as her body began to decompose into moonlight, fading away from the area while Solaris felt his vein pop from his anger.

"You b*tch!!!" He cried out. His anger reaching a point where he could only utter those two words as he created some distance between him and Velouria.

As much as he wanted to kill her, the only thing he could do right now was to retreat!

Seeing the two Gods run away, Velouria let out a bitter laugh before sighing. Understanding what was coming next.

If Nyer has obtained the blessing of Severance and Corruption then there was only one thing he had left to do.

Restraining Alice with chains, Nyer placed her to the side while approaching Velouria from behind.

"Seems like you've made up your mind." Velouria smiled bitterly as she glanced up at the sky before looking at the battlefield.

With their Gods leaving to save their lives, the soldiers lost their guiding light and was now being slaughtered by the beasts that remained.

"I'm sorry… You can hate me if you want." Nyer apologised as he clenched his fist.

Shaking his head, Velouria turned around with a small smile.

"I don't hate you. I'm… Simply regretful that things have gotten to this stage." She sighed.

Biting his lip, Nyer hesitated before shaking his head. Closing his eyes, he strengthened his resolve. Once he opened his eyes once more, his gaze was firm.

Before he lost his will to go forward with what he wishes to do, Nyer burst into action. To go past the point of no return.

*KRRRR!!!!

Plunging his hand into Velouria's chest, he tore out her heart.
