The Black Necromancer

Chapter 528: One Against Many

"Plane Shift."

Darius felt his vision shift as everything around him morphed and shifted. In a mere moment, he appeared within the Void, but for some reason, it was not the normal Void. He could feel that his connections to the Laws that guided the workings of the universe had greatly weakened, which indirectly weakened his combat power.

'What is this? Where did that bastard bring us to?' Darius thought to himself as he spread his Light powers around him, trying to illuminate the surroundings. However, he could not do much as his powers were greatly suppressed.

"Now, let us fight where it will not cause any collateral damage." Leon's voice sounded above them and the three enemy Gods turned up to see him floating above them. His robes fluttered around him, as he had not even bothered to change into any suitable armor.

"Your arrogance will be the end of you, Leon Cromwell!" One of Darius' comrades shouted angrily. He felt that Leon was mocking them. Not only had he brought the three Major Gods to this strange place, but he had also brough the other Minor Gods as well! It was an insult, akin to him spitting on their faces!

"Come and prove me wrong." Leon made a 'come and get me' gesture at the Gods. As they prepared themselves, he went on to break off each of his fingers, throwing them away and letting them float around him. They hovered for a moment before beginning to draw in Divine Power that was coming from Leon, mixing it with what ambient energy was around them.

Then before the eyes of everyone present, each of those fingers grew into separate Leons that all had the same power as him!

Darius was stunned. He felt that this had to be some trick. Normally, Divine Power Clones only had a portion of the overall strength of the main body, but these clones before them actually seemed to boast the full power of their main body!

"Attack him all at once!" Darius gritted his teeth and ordered before also charging forward. His body blazed with white light so hot that a trail of white flames was carved in the Void behind him, but there was nothing to burn. The lack of Divine Power that he could harness outside his body severely limited the strength of the white flames burning behind him.

However, he could utilize the ones directly around his body quite well without too much stress.

The only problem now was replenishing spent energy. With the lack of ambient Divine Power, he could not replenish his spent energy reserves as quickly as normal, which meant that this was not a battle that he could drag out.

Darius' comrades, Rot Queen Sevagoth, and White Ghost Dario, also began to make their moves. Sevagoth charged forward with her hollow eyes blazing with power while Dario vanished from sight. If Leon put in enough effort, he would be able to sense Dario, but doing so would make it so that he could not put his all into fighting against the enemies before him.

After all, it was not just Darius and Sevagoth. The other Minor Gods were also present.

Leon and his ten clones faced off against the enemies. Four Minor Gods and three Major Gods. This was enough force to bring down many lone Gods and their God Kingdoms, yet Leon seemingly had the confidence to take them all by himself at once!

Two clones each took on one Minor God while the remaining two clones faced off against Sevagoth. As for Dario, Leon did not pay him much mind. Instead, it would be better for him to focus his efforts on keeping Sevagoth occupied.

The two of us, Light man. Let's have at it." Leon smiled and opened his arms.

"You take us lightly, Leon Cromwell. I am sure that you must have paid a painful price to keep all of those clones so strong. You will regret not coming with us when we asked nicely." Darius bared his teeth, but the pearly whites could not be seen through the curtain of light that already existed around him.

Leon did not say anything more and launched the first move. Unlike how Darius was expecting Leon to be slightly weaker because of splitting his power, Leon's fist crossed the distance between them in an instant, so quickly that even he who was the embodiment of Light, had problems keeping up!

"What?!" Darius reacted with shock as he deflected Leon's incoming fists and threw his own punches. Both of their bodies transformed into lethal weapons as they danced through the Void. Explosions of light and darkness constantly shook the Void, showing how deadly that battle was. None of them held their punches, intending to take the other out as quickly as possible.

'If it were not for this weakening Domain, then I would have been able to defeat him easily!' Darius thought to himself and continued to fight, throwing his weight behind every hit.

On the surface, it looked like the two were only throwing punches without using any other techniques, but in reality, their Domains constantly pressed against the other's threatening to overwhelm the other and take over the tempo of the fight.

As a powerful Major God that had been an incredibly powerful powerhouse before his service to the Paragon of Undeath, Darius had met few that were able to fight against him toe to toe. In fact, he could proudly say that he was one of the best under the Paragon of Undeath!

That was why he was even more shaken by the fact that an upstart like Leon possessed the strength to threaten him like so!

'Such an unnatural being! Just what is behind his power?!' Darius gritted his teeth and pushed forward. He pulled back an arm and imbued it with the essence of his Light Law, before letting it fly, cutting through the pitch black Domain that tightly clung to Leon's body.
