Chapter 1125 Black Ashes
Gael's Black Ash was a logical extension of his power, rather expected but still deadly.
Ereg's powerful attack which was supposed to end their fight, simply turned into nothing. The black ash in a heartbeat absorbed most of the damage and threw Ereg aside.
His entire body was covered in multiple wounds, blood dripping down his muscles, and his sturdy armor would shatter at any moment.
The last move was Gael's palm attack.
Unlike the other ash that was just a tool for Gael, the black one was much different as it could take several forms.
The first stream that swept in front of Ereg was ordinary ash, though the black ash was much more powerful than the gray and even more so the white one.
Then, Gael changed the ash, turning it from a black liquid into pure darkness with super-concentrated energy. This darkness wasn't just a dense and powerful substance, it also strengthened Gael, making all of his attacks much stronger.
Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.
Gael's palm sank into Ereg's armor, breaking it into small shards and sending powerful pulses into his opponent's body.
The impact, with a shockwave, threw Ereg back a few dozen meters, causing him to fall.
"Argh!" Ereg crashed into the rugged dark granite, clots of blood spurted from his mouth and his eyes went wide with vivid pain.
However, the main reason wasn't his back or even Gael's kick, but the aftermath.
"Fuck... Bastard, what the hell was that?" Ereg muttered with a great grimace.
Gael didn't answer anything, he just slowly paced through the air while tiny particles of ash covered him.
His sword was folded in his belt, its scabbard emerging from the plain gray ash. Gael was showing that in order to fight Ereg he didn't need his weapon and seemed to have every right to do so.
"Shit! That hurt!" Ereg complained, looking at the black energy on his stomach.
The darkness was like acid, trying to destroy Ereg's skin, flesh, and blood, corroding it with the strongest corrosion.
Ereg had some time to stop this deadly process. His armor was destroyed in one place, but he still had quite a bit of energy, and the armor could be repaired.
'Fine, I can still fight. I just need to recover!" Ereg internally exclaimed, clenching his teeth to endure the intense pain.
His body was powerful and strong, one of the strongest in the universe, perhaps only Liang surpassed him in this regard. However, liquid black ash could destroy any armor this was one of the abilities of this unique entity.
Whooooooooooooosh.
Arrays of purple energy headed towards the black ash, gradually destroying it and increasing Ereg's resistance. The runes on the armor shone brightly, rebuilding it piece by piece.
Black pieces appeared out of nothing, gradually making the armor one piece, however, he needed to spend a lot more time to dispel the thick darkness.
"Oh, that looks painful and serious..." Nitra muttered, biting her lip.
Liang nodded, "This is the first time I've seen black ash, what purpose does it even have? Although... from what I can see it's pretty obvious. It's literally trying to turn Ereg into nothing, like a powerful acid."
Alucard shrugged, "That's not all. Black Ash is capable of something more serious it's passing through any object and inflicting gruesome wounds."
Liang nodded, "Yeah, I can see that. His armor earlier could protect him from any number of ash swords. But, as soon as the black ash appeared everything immediately changed. A single attack was more than enough to completely destroy all the defenses Ereg had built up."
"Well... I think the result of this round has already become obvious to everyone." Alucard said in a deep voice, "Ereg will lose. Black Ash is one of the most powerful weapons Gael has, and he's using it to its fullest potential. That's for sure."
Nila frowned as she looked sternly at Alucard, making him feel a strange pressure. To him it was light and almost nonexistent, however, because of how persistent NIla was, he could sense her intentions.
"Hah, you actually want Ereg to win, right?" Alucard smirked.
Nila puffed up her cheeks and crossed her arms over her chest.
"So what? You want Gael to win too, don't you? He's your friend and all." Nila snorted.
Alucard shrugged, "Well, I won't deny it, but just about Gael being my friend. I don't care which one of them wins, you may or may not believe that. I don't care about your opinion that's all."
"Oh, you!" Nila exclaimed irritably, raising her fist, but she quickly calmed down when she met Alucard's intimidating aura. It seemed to her that his aura was a separate being of blood and arrogance that could devour her at any moment.
"How strange..." Krana muttered, leaning forward and touching her lush lips.
"Hmm?" Alucard gave her a questioning look.
"Gael... He looks like it's all over now. Is the black ash such a powerful weapon that he is now confident of his victory? A few minutes ago, I would have said that Ereg was the top favorite to win. That's for sure!" Krana nodded several times as if confirming her own words.
Liang sighed, "He's become arrogant again, his position is changing too quickly. At this rate, it will be unclear when he will show his true self. However, I think the black ash was one of his last resort, isn't it?"
Alucard knew the answer to that question, he was the only one who knew, but he didn't bother to answer. He had to keep the intrigue alive, for even he was curious to see the end result.
"Ereg... I hope you still have one ghost left, for if a purple one is all you are capable of, then you are even weaker than Nitra..." Alucard muttered with a devious smirk.
"Hey! What the hell are you talking about? I just don't have full control of my power yet!" Nitra exclaimed unhappily.
Alucard just chuckled.
