Chapter 327 Void Realm. 2
Chapter 327 Void Realm. 2
"Decidedly, this duel has been too unfair for you from the beginning."
While murmuring these words, He raises his hand towards the meteorite.
'I knew she wasn't powerful enough to defeat me, but all the same, what's the point of sacrificing the little awareness she had just for little more power? I now feel like I'm fighting against an overpowered golem who doesn't have the slightest strategy and still continues to go down in a heap and follow its primitive instinct. A fight empty of meaning and strategy is not a rich duel that can offer me more experience.'
While murmuring these words, Alvine's pupils became gradually darker to the point that they gave the spectators the impression of looking into an abyssal black hole!
-!!
The first person to feel in danger of death was not the queen of doppelgängers, nor Henia or the others, but Serena!
At that moment, her eyes, for the first time, had traces of fear, and her expression was a strange emptiness as if she felt condemned.
-Wooosh!!
Simultaneously, she manifested more of the fifty coins with multiple colors and created a physical barrier that released a field of force and a quantity of astronomical energy to the point of making Henia and the others alarmed, believing that she targeted them viciously.
But this feeling lasted only briefly before Henia understood what she was trying to protect herself from her master!
Her eyes focused on Alvine's silhouette, which she could see murmuring a familiar chant.
'I hope he'll be able to control this power this time.' She said, demonstrating her most powerful barrier also around her and the others while remembering the time when Alvine had almost destroyed not only his army but also an entire planet when he fought Nelda, the princess of the Valskars.
Fortunately, Sabrina was with him then and had been able to protect everyone in time before giving Alvine enough time to cancel the effects of his law.
Just as she finished murmuring this sentence for herself, her visual field suddenly turned black!
But she knew she had not become blind since even her perception could not perceive anything around her.
This abyss and darkness that suddenly manifested itself was none other than...
[High-Rank Universal Law: Shadow realm!]
Suddenly, she and the others could not hear anything more than Alvine's loud voice echoing in absolute emptiness.
At the same time, she could feel her protective barrier disintegrating around her, followed by Serena's, exposing them entirely to the effects of Alvine's powers.
But even if none of them was targeted by Alvine, they all became targets of Alvine's shadow realm, which nibbled on any form of material or immaterial existence.
The universal law, the lowest level of which is to create a black hole that sucks everything,
-The intermediate level, [Gluttony Realm!] Which was once cast by none other than Alvine himself and consists in targeting a specific place, a single target, or even a material and sending it into the black hole, making the law easier to handle or making it works as the last.
But all these steps can be weak initially if activated with a small amount of raw energy. Or to be real natural plagues as Greed had shown twice by throwing them with a huge amount of energy.
-But as for the advanced level of this law, it was none other than the [Shadow realm], also called the [Void realm] by Alvine!
Instead of manifesting a black hole, which aspires materials to another dimension that transforms everything into raw energy, the advanced level of this universal law is to make the extent appear on the other side of the black hole in the real world!
As a result, regardless of the target or its power, as long as it has been drawn into Alvine's law, it can be transformed into fertilizer for Alvine if the latter so wishes.
But unlike Alvine, who is cautious with this law, his shadow soldiers don't care about the damage they can cause as long as it allows them to succeed in the mission granted by their lord. The Alvine clone was no exception to this rule either.
Even if he acts like Alvine and seems to have emotions, it's nothing more than a kind of role-playing game for him. In other words, he's as empty and ruthless as the other shadow soldiers who don't have the slightest feeling of guilt or kindness in them, just creatures of darkness with the effigy of their dark silhouettes.
!!
At that moment, the queen of doppelgangers, who was no different from the others, except that she was Alvine's main target and who was the detail that changed the whole game, was alarmed to see her body, her energy, and everything that defined her as an existence, gradually disappear into the dark void!!
Seeing the inevitable happen in front of her eyes, she suddenly created multilayer barriers around her body to defend herself against this mysterious phenomenon. But Alvine didn't try to stop her, nor take advantage of her moment of weakness to attack her once again.
In absolute blacks, his abyssal pupils, who made one with this darkness, watched the queen struggle with a Machiavellian smile that distorted his expression as he gave her a demonic look.
"Resist as much as you want, use all the skills you want, even the concepts will not be great against the effects of this place; in the end, the result will never change." He murmured in a demonic tone while looking at everyone after confirming the queen's presence with him.
Other than these men and Henia, there was also Elaydja, Brave, and his sidekick, not to mention Serena, who looked around them without being able to see even a millimeter in front of them.
In addition to being unable to perceive their environments, they were not in a really different situation from the queen.
Although Alvine did not target them, they still experienced the same hell as the queen, even if it was less concentrated.
But even with this little bit of effect, they were all unable to prevent their energy and bodies from slowly consuming themselves by the strange domain that Alvine had just invoked.
Seeing this, Alvine instantly appeared beside them without having to use any spatial skill whatsoever to teleport himself.
-Snapping his fingers.
Following this nonchalant action on his part, a shadow shield enveloped them all, including Serena and his enemies.
'Since they are always useful to my lord, then it would be unforgivable on my part to kill them.' He whispered these words while looking at Brave with undecided eyes.
But in the end, he sighed nonchalantly before sparing him, realizing that he'd have nothing to fear from him, regardless of his personal powers or his relationships.
But when he focused on the queen, he realized that she was no longer present with them, not that she had escaped but fully consumed, just like her predecessors who had known the same fatal destinies.
'Sigh, I guess it's time.' He said to Himself by canceling the effects of his law that did not last more than thirty seconds.
According to his will, darkness gradually decreased as the seconds slowly passed.
After another ten seconds, Serena and the others could see their environments.
But contrary to what they saw before the appearance of darkness, the view around them differed.
Whether it was the artificial clouds, the ground, or the roof, everything had disappeared around them, exposing them to the sleeping moon's real sky.
And under their feet, a gigantic crater as far as the eye could see had appeared in barely a few seconds.
What made them unable to know whether or not Alvine's law still influenced them was to see such a scene in front of them without having heard any noise or vibrations when it was created.
But strangely, Alvine and the others could now notice a small castle far from them and which was sealed by strange seals and hieroglyphs throughout the gigantic door.
The castle looked so old that Alvine and the others could guess it was not built with materials from this planet.
But the strangest thing about all this was that the castle was half destroyed by Alvine's law, exposing its interior that was none other than an empty and gigantic hall.
At the same time, Alvine and the others frown after noticing Serena blocking their roads.
"Can I know what you intend to do?" Alvine asked in a monotonous tone.
"You can't go any further if you don't want to kill all those who live on this planet." She replied with decisive eyes that showed that she was not joking.
"Tsk, it's the best joke I've ever heard. Since when have you been concerned about the natives of this planet? Rather, you give me the impression of being the real guardian of this warehouse; am I wrong?"
"..."
"Seriously?! Sigh, tell me honestly what this castle is hiding, and maybe I will give up. Otherwise, you will have to stop us by yourself." He replied with a mocking smile.
"Don't piss off me! No matter what I tell you, you won't stop before you end your madness. But I wasn't joking when I told you that you risk killing everyone on this planet." She remained inflexible in the face of Alvine's attempt to learn more before moving forward.
"Yeah, I already know the song. The creature sealed up in this place is as strong as a mana beast or other nonsense that you have not stopped telling us since just now. But in the end, nothing at all--??
Before Alvine finished his sentence, he noticed a familiar phenomenon behind Serena.
Seeing this, he no longer bothered to continue his conversation with Serena; he continued his way by instantly teleporting himself to two hundred meters behind Serena.
'Sigh, if it's your decision, so be it. We'll see if you'll be able to go to the end of your decision.' She whispered without even turning to stop him.
