Chapter 495: Third Fight: Dan & Gustavo VS Kamei & Orb 6
-----
Gustavo was suddenly overwhelmed by Orb's powerful Trap Fest, as she called it, where she spammed all sorts of Dungeon Traps around a certain area where she had left hundreds of runes of Traps without activating!
She had made sure to enhance them greatly, and even give them an additional divine energy hump! This way, the power of these traps which Gustavo's power couldn't properly handle became just tremendously overwhelming!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Gustavo saw the scene as he gritted his teeth, his face finally changed from his expressionless one, as he had begun to truly face difficulties against this little girl!
"After all I've lived… After all I've gone through… to think I would be humiliated like this…!" he muttered, as his mind went through various memories, strengthening his resolve!
A large quantity of energy began to gather around his chest, as the latent power of his Nothingness began to grow bigger and bigger…!
The traps continued to bathe him with attacks, but he was not going to budge anymore!
The abyssal nothingness continued to surge from his very soul, like a massive entity which not even he had seen before in such clarity… Just what was this power?!
"RAAAA!"
Gustavo roared, as the traps were destroyed by a powerful shockwave!
BOOOOOMMM!!!
Orb saw the scene as she suddenly felt utter… terror!
"W-What?!"
The explosion generated a wave of nothingness that wrapped space-time itself, throwing her away and destroying all her Traps in an instant!
The waves of nothingness continued to surge everywhere as Gustavo's presence had changed completely!
Clash!
Orb fell over the ground, falling over her face and getting it all wounded and filled with dirt. She quickly healed and cleansed it in a split of a second, as she glared back at Gustavo. She suddenly felt a strong pain in her soul, it had suddenly gained a large fracture by taking on the powerful shockwave, and even her Dungeon Core gained a crack, leaking her energy out…
It could obviously heal back with some care, but as of now, such a wound was a big as a hole in the chest of a person for Orb! She felt incredibly letargic out of the sudden, gasping for air desperately, as she looked at Gustavo and whatever he had now become.
"What… what the heck are you!?" she asked desperately, as words didn't come out of Gustavo but only eternal silence, emptiness, nothingness!
RUMBLE!
Orb and Kamei suddenly noticed this, and Even Dan felt it, he gritted his teeth at the same time and looked at the scene fearfully. Whatever this old vampire had become, it was clearly not the same old man Dan knew about!
"What… have you become?" he muttered silently, but Gustavo did not answer his question but remained still, engulfed by the void of nothingness.
Frank glanced at the scene while gritting his teeth, his eyes almost popping out of surprise, the power that emanated from Gustavo was something truly abyssal! It felt like… the Ancient One, a monstrous chaotic entity born inside of Frank's soul which was the materialized presentation of all the chaos, void, and dark energies his soul possessed.
But this version of Gustavo's ancient one… it was very different too. It was as if it were a completely different type, and perhaps, even superior to that of Frank!
Gustavo was truly a frightening being, he was really rosing through the God-Realm of power with this mere powerup he had acquired by releasing all his frustrations and awakening the power he always had with him…
Clementine smiled at scene with a rather fascinated glare, her eyes of crimson-red light gleamed eerily and released flashing red light, her smile was beautiful and malicious, and within her mind there was a certain fascination with Gustavo's power.
"Yes… He finally took it out! We really had to put him into a lot of stress… Sorry about this Gustavo, but you can't simply give up your power because you believe you're old now… Your power is barely being developed… Grandpa, you have to get stronger, this is the trial I've fabricated for you!" said Clementine. She loved Gustavo as her grandfather figure, and although she disliked seeing him suffer and go through such hardships, this was necessary for him to grow stronger and develop his new talents.
After all, Gustavo possessed a truly abyssal power that even Clementine's father, perhaps the strongest Vampire of all Europe, had recognized as strong! Due to this, it couldn't possibly be something weak, not at all!
But what… truly was this power? It was as if the moment it awakened, nothingness, emptiness… everything related with void and the lack of matter itself… became real around Gustavo. His entire being was possessed by a "entity" that was also not an "entity". It was there, yet it was not…
What kind of being that represented nothingness could dwell within Gustavo's soul? And it had been dwelling this whole time too!
This thing was… most likely the origins of Gustavo's power, the power he had since he was a child, the power that helped him survive even when his entire family fell before his very eyes, even through he had a life filled with hardships, this power continued to nourish his old body and kept him away of diseases that people his age would have…
This power… this power couldn't even be fully comprehended by Clementine, it couldn't be fully comprehended by her father either, and Orb and Kamei couldn't clearly see what the heck it was…
Nobody knew what it could be, except Frank.
But he kept silent as he looked at Gustavo intensively. Whatever this being was, it meant danger and it was really something that might endanger the girl's chance of victory.
After going through the hardships that the living dungeon of Orb made him go through, Gustavo desperately went berserk over his own powers, and forcefully awakened something he deep down knew he had, but never wanted to awake within himself.
This monster… no, this entity… this grotesque presence…
This being…
What was it?
