Chapter 723 Evil Entities
The Avatar Creation Spell might be powerful but it limited him in certain ways—he could not access his Divine Extraction System.
Well, it was a sacrifice made for the ability to be in two places at once, so he didn't really mind using it.
Furthermore, he was still unsure about the true capabilities of the Demon Saints, especially those in the higher ranks or single-digit ranks. There was also the Abyss Demon Lord, whom he had never seen yet.
This was the reason why he didn't give all his Mystical Artifacts to this Avatar as well. This Avatar was only limited to the Black Grimoire as its weapon aside from the Spell Models it had.
"I guess I don't have to use the Creation Ring to close the Rifts if this continues…" Vale muttered as he looked at the rift that was closed one last time.
***
"Interesting… Those Demon Saints are too slippery, huh…" Vale muttered inside the Dragon Chamber beneath his castle.
Right now, he was with the two Dragons, Orden and Ryzoir… Just in case he needed their strength, he was willing to set them free at a moment's notice. After all, they were fighting against a whole Realm, and he didn't know when he would need additional forces.
"How about the others…" He muttered.
Vale, apparently, had not one, but three extensions of his will or Avatars!
He made this possible after his Avatar Creation reached the Advanced Realm! However, after reaching the Perfected Realm, an ability that allowed him to swap with any of his three Avatars appeared!
With this Celestial Art, Vale was confident that he'd be able to maximize his power as a lone Immortal of the Human Realm!
Nonetheless, the three Avatars stood as sentinels in locations marked by prophecy and foresight.
King Larry Morgan, previously Marquis Morgan, the current ruler of the Ruri Kingdom, had sought the wisdom of the Moonlight Seers, gifted oracles from the Church of the Lord of the Secret.
Well, this was also thanks to Vale's cooperation with Maya Featherstar, who was now part of the Church.
Anyway, the visions of these Seers, cryptic yet precise, had foretold the covert strikes of the Abyss Realm!
One Avatar, stationed in the vicinity of a predicted attack, had already proven the Seers' worth, intercepting the Demon Saints' assault in the small Cainhorn Town!
Now, another Avatar faced a different but equally dire threat. The Zyrans, colossal monstrosities of the Abyss, had descended upon a city, their towering forms casting long shadows of destruction.
These were the same fiends that had once wreaked havoc during the Twelve Academies Competition at the Roaring Summit!
They were now unleashing their fury anew!
The city lay in ruins, its buildings crumbled like sandcastles before the tide… The ten Zyrans, each a behemoth of malice, roared their challenge to the skies! They were not satisfied with the destruction of a city and killing tens of thousands of people!
Whom~
As Vale's Avatar arrived, the air shifted, the very shadows bending to his presence. Vale controlled the Darkness, and the Zyrans had an Evil or Malicious Aura around them.
There were tiny similarities in the elements, but they were completely different.
Vale's sudden appearance made the Zyrans realize that the surrounding energy was no longer under their control!
With a calm that belied the carnage around him, Vale's Avatar assessed the ten towering entities. They were as vast as ten-story edifices, their forms a grotesque parody of life. Each Zyran was a maelstrom of dark energy, their limbs capable of crushing stone and steel with ease.
But they were not invincible.
***
"Mhmm? Is that the Shadow Immortal?"?A hidden Demon Saint, the one who had summoned the Evil Entities looked at the figure who had arrived and disturbed the malevolent aura from spreading.
Just with the Immortal's presence, the curses and disease they were spreading within the 10 kilometers disappeared! It was as if it was dispersed just by the mere Magic Zone of the Immortal!
However, the Demon Saint didn't panic as he observed the situation.
"Let's see how you'll deal with these Entities…" The Demon Saint muttered.
He noticed that as the Shadow Immortal materialized amidst the chaos, the surrounding shadow or Darkness seemed to acknowledge his dominion as they swayed at his presence.
The Zyrans, on the other hand, maybe behemoths of the Abyss, but they could only pulsate with a malevolent aura to show their dominance. Their existence seemed to be trying to distort the natural order.
***
"You guys looked stronger now…" Vale muttered.
As Vale observed them, he could easily tell that they were certainly several times stronger than the ones that the Cult of Fataliy had summoned before!
Yet, in the face of his arrival, their control over the dark energies faltered, the air thick with the tension of conflicting powers.
Vale couldn't help but smile after noticing this. He confirmed that his Shadow Divinity was still better and stronger than the Evil Aura of these Entities.
"Let's end this quickly…" Vale muttered as he unsheathed the Stormbringer Sword, a blade that hummed with the fury of a storm trapped within steel.
This Divine Sword had already fully acknowledged Vale as its owner and had somehow become an extension of Vale's will!
Bzzt~
The sword released several sparks of lightning as if it waseager to clash with the corrupt flesh of the Zyrans!
Roaaarrr~
The Zyrans, sensing the threat, roared in defiance, their forms shifting, growing more outrageous as they prepared to meet the Shadow Immortal!
Unlike the Demon Saints, who could feel fear and assess the strength of their opponents, these Zyrans only knew how to destroy!
Each Zyran was like a titan, their limbs wreathed in the energies of the Abyss, capable of rending the earth asunder!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Their dark and numerous limbs started stretching out towards Vale!
But Vale's Avatar was undeterred.
Instead of retreating, Vale's Avatar advanced.
The Stormbringer Sword hummed through the air, its edge suddenly lit up with lightning!
Call of the Divine Lightning!
Boom!
The first Zyran met its end swiftly, the blade slicing through its dark energy as if it were mere mist, cleaving into the core of its being.
The attack was a combination of the Divine Lightning and Holy Smite!
Just from this attack, Vale burned almost a hundred Divinity Points all at once!
These two Perfect Realm Spells were too much against the Zyran!
Luckily for them Vale's Spell had cooldowns and couldn't use it repeatedly in a few seconds.
The second and third Zyrans weren't discouraged as they converged on Vale's Avatar, and their attacks synchronized in a storm of malice.
Yet, with a poise that befitted a great swordsman, Vale spun, the Stormbringer Sword weaving a protective cocoon of light and shadow around him!
The Zyrans' blows met only the afterimage of where he had been, and from their roars, one could tell the frustration with their guttural cries.
One by one, the Zyrans fell before the might of the Stormbringer Sword, Divine Lightning, Holy Smite, Sacred Blessing,Aurora's Embrace, and Blessed Healing!
With his Presence Shift that could help him move in the blink of an eye, Vale was never caught by these towering entities from the Abyss!
Each strike from him was a thunderclap that injured or killed the Zyrans!
The ruined city started becoming the graveyard of the Evil Entities that had destroyed it!
As the final Zyran loomed, it continued to gather the Evil Aura in the surroundings. It seemed to have gotten stronger and absorbed the remnant energy of the dead Zyrans!
"So you can do that to your companions?" Vale wryly smiled as he realized that these Evil Entities had the power of "extraction" as well and could recover with the help of their fallen comrades.
On the other hand, he was already a bit exhausted since only a few spells could work against these entities. Only the Divine Lightning and the Holy Arts worked well against them.
Using Spells like Abyssal Fire, Cursed Flame, Toxic Tempest, and others was simply useless and waste of energy. Because of that, Vale would have to be on the defensive every time he uses those effective Spells.
Nonetheless, as he saw the last Evil Entity, he started gathering his energy, the Stormbringer Sword glowing with an intensity that seemed to rival the sun!
"You're the last one! Just join your brothers!"
With a roar that boosted Vale's Aura, he appeared on top of the creature with his Presence Shift!
However, the Zyran was able to react in time and defend itself!
Boom!
The collision was cataclysmic. The Stormbringer Sword met the Zyran's dark energy head-on, a vortex of lightning and clashing against a tide of evil aura…
Whom~
The resulting explosion was another huge destruction that created a crater in the ruined city! Nonetheless, it also marked the end of the battle.
When the dust settled, Vale's Avatar stood alone amidst the remnants of the Zyrans.
