The World Serpent

Chapter 81 - 81-Duel Against The Peak 4

The Duel rose to its peak as Statera and Persia threw their strongest cards towards each other. The screeching sound of the Pitch-Black Droplet of Death echoed through the Everlasting Plain. With the Reality lacking its Light and Color, The Wasteland around the Duel turned into a Zone of Calamity. The Destroyer of Reality caused disturbance amongst the Laws of Reality. Forward became Backward, Space distorted, Logic Improbability, and much more disturbance. It consumed everything on its way and was launching itself towards Statera without any resistance.

Death, on the other hand, was a Jet-Black Scythe that exuded the Aura of Death. It was a Long and Simple Scythe that Statera held tightly with her hand. She looked at the Destroyer of Reality and raised the Death Scythe to the air. She closed her eyelids as everything around her silenced itself. She opened her eyes as the Silver Eyes of Death revealed themselves to the Destroyer of Reality. She tightly gripped her Death Scythe as the Destroyer of Reality got nearer and nearer.

The Destroyer of Reality passed through the Everlasting Plains. Some parts of the Plains turned upside down while Gravity itself was not working correctly according to its laws. The Silver White Serpent could notice dust, pebbles, and rocks floating around it. It could also feel that the Wasteland turned into a Zero Gravity Zone. Fortunately, it had a Wallcrawling Skill that tightly held it to the ground.

The Screeching Sound became stronger and stronger as it finally arrived in front of Statera. Statera tightly gripped the Death Scythe as dark slick nerves formed on her Two Hands. She then swung the Death Scythe that was up in the air down upon the Destroyer of Reality. And upon the Impact between the two Strongest attacks, they mustered during the Duel. The Battle between the Destroyer of Reality and Death began.

The Pitch-Black Droplet and the Jet-Black Scyth battle started as Statera and Persia began their Battle for dominance. Statera then noticed the Severe and destructive force of the Pitch-Black Droplet. Despite being small, She could understand that the Droplet's Power was enough to destroy Multiple Cities at the same time. She furrowed her eyebrows as she decided to utter the Words of Death with an Ancient Voice. "Death upon Reality..."

With the Words of Death echoed with her Ancient Voice, The Death Scythe passed through the Destroyer of Reality without any problems. The Silver White Serpent could see the Destroyer of Reality splitting in front of its eyes. 'What the... How?' The Silver White Serpent thought to itself as it could feel the destabilization within the Space around the Wasteland.

'The destabilization of the Destroyer of Reality will cause unexpected effects. How the hell can that Scythe split something with a Mass of Thousands of Stars?' The Silver White Serpent slithered away from the Destroyer of Reality in an instant. Statera also noticed the destabilization of the Droplet in front of her. She disappeared from her spot as the Destroyer of Reality illuminated a Dark Light that consumed everything in its way.

The Silver White Serpent looked at the Destroyer of Reality and found it getting Stronger. The Light illuminating within it was different as the Light would consume anything it touches. The Earth below the Serpent began shaking as numerous boulders rose to the skies. The Silver White Serpent knew that keeping up with its Serpent Body wouldn't give it an advantage. With this thought, The Silver White Serpent's Body illuminated and blinded the area near its body.

The Illuminating Bright Light dimmed. The Silver White Serpent Body disappeared as a Young Beautiful Girl replaced it. Persia revealed herself as she stood upon a Giant Floating Boulder within the Heavens. She looked at the Destroyer of Reality gaining more size, and Persia also noticed Statera standing on a floating Boulder at the opposite side of the Destroyer of Reality.

Persia disappeared from her spot and attacked Statera, who calmly swung her Death Scythe towards Persia. Persia dodges the Death Scythe by the hair as her heart beats wildly. The Death Scythe felt like doom. And avoiding the Death Scythe made Persia feel as if she managed to dodged Death. Though, Persia didn't want to let the feeling of excitement disturb her concentration over the fight.

'How do I defeat someone as strong as her?' Persia thought to herself as she began skimming through her Status. She couldn't find a skill that stood a chance against Statera. Statera was a lot stronger than expected, and one hit from her Death Scythe would be enough for Persia to lose. She was even lucky that Statera made her swing slower than Normal, which stomped upon Persia's pride.

'There's nothing I can do about it. My Cards are still on the table. The only thing stopping me from using them is that the Cards in the table are things that I haven't tested. From the description, they might be strong, but there is a possibility that they might be uncontrollable, which isn't something I want.' Persia thought to herself as everything around the two of them rose to the Heavens.

The Earthquake created Deep Cracks upon the Wasteland. Such Cracks caused the Earth below the Wasteland to easily get conquered by the Anti Gravity created by the Destabilized Destroyer of Reality. Speaking of the Destroyer of Reality, Persia turned her head towards it and noticed it getting bigger and bigger. Every Earth within the Wasteland was slowly rising to the Heavens with the Destroyer of Reality in its epicenter. Persia could only shake her head and use the current terrain to her advantage.

Statera looked at Persia as Persia disappeared from her spot once again. Statera looked around and noticed that the Boulders in the Heavens were increasing. Some of the Boulders even rivaled the size of the Flying Island. The Wasteland below them, on the other hand, turned into a place full of Magma. It was as if the Destroyer of Reality was peeling the skin of the Realm. 'This is a problem.'

Statera continued looking around as Persia completely disappeared. She tried to sensed Persia only to found nothing as the Destroyer of Reality was causing a Power Surge that overshadowed everything. She carefully looked around as Silence engulfed the area around her. Her breath echoed within her mind as she held her Scythe tightly and swung it 360 degrees horizontally.

Everything around Statera got split into half as even the air didn't get spared by such an attack. The Gigantic Boulders around her split as they continue floating without any problems. 'No effect?' Statera thought to herself as she looked around at the destruction she had caused. She then felt something above her that instantly made her looked upwards.

Persia appeared in an instant with an Axe kick. Statera didn't try to block the kick and instantly disappeared from her spot. Persia's kick went through as she hit the Boulder Statera was standing on. The Boulder turned into pulverized dust by Persia's kicked, and Persia stood on top of the nearest Boulder. Persia looked around, and it was time for her turn. She couldn't see any sign of Statera, which somehow made her Excited and Nervous.

"That isn't going to work to me, Statera," Persia mumbled to herself as she activated one of her Origin Skills. It was World Eye. While Activating World Eye, Persia noticed that its effect would be Greater when she was trying to find Rulers or Strong Beings, Which meant that she couldn't silently spy on the Strong ones. She would have to master the Origin Skill and learned strategies from it.

Persia activated her World Eye, which found no resistance even with the Destroyer of Reality right next to Persia. She then ordered the Origin Skill to find the Astral Spirit Lord Statera, which she instantly found calmly looking at her from afar. Persia smirked as she turned her head and gazed back to Statera, who sat on a Boulder with the Death Scythe in her hand.

"She found me?" Statera couldn't help but smile as her senses wouldn't even work clearly in this kind of situation. The fact that Persia could instantly find her meant that she was using an Origin Skill. It also means that her Origin Skill was highly possibly connected to Sensing Capabilities. From Persia's actions, Statera was a lot closer to fully knowing one of Persia's Origin Skills.

The Two of them gazed at each other with Silence overwhelming their surroundings. They disappeared from their spot once again as multiple flashes appeared around the Destroyer of Reality. The Destroyer of Reality had a size that could rival a Small Mountain, but it fortunately still had the same Power as the Droplet Form, Which meant that its reach was limit, and its Power didn't rival its size.

Persia and Statera fought each other at an Instant speed as the only thing outsiders could see was the Flashes of Light. The Boulders around the Destroyer of Reality got pulverized or split in half. The Two of them got faster and faster as even Flashes of Light occurring at multiple places under a second. It was a beautiful battle despite not seeing it under normal vision.

Meanwhile, Mayon, who watched the Duel from a distance within the Main Transport Ship, had a Serious Expression plastered on her face. She looked at the Duel and found that nothing and no one would be able to stop them. The fight wasn't even nearing its conclusion. Mayon could guess that Persia still had a lot of cards on her table waiting to get used.

Mayon then opened the phone and called the Spirit Noble nearest to her. "Call the Spirit Lords and tell them that Statera is fighting someone," Mayon said with a Serious voice as the Spirit Noble replied. "Understood, Lord Mayon." Mayon put down the phone and sighed as she didn't want to be the one that told the Spirit Lords about the Duel. Mayo knew that it wouldn't be a good thing if the Duel didn't reach its conclusion, but Mayon wanted to have a fail-safe for the Duel.

"Why do you have to be so strong, Persia." Mayon couldn't help but complained as she closed her eyelids. The only thing she could do was wait for the Spirit Lords to arrived at the Everlasting Plain.

Back to the Flying Boulders around the Destroyer of Reality, Persia found herself flying towards Boulder. She adjusted her body and landed on the Boulder without any Problems. She looked at Statera, who gazed at her from above. Persia couldn't help but grit her teeth as her attacks weren't doing any damage. She could also feel her Energy Sources slowly depleting.

'It's time to use my Cards.' Persia thought to herself as she would have to use her Unknown Cards. The Unknown Card that could help her was Demon Form. Demon Form would give her the ability to use the Demon Skills that she recently gained from Evolution. Persia didn't know what kind of effect it would bring to her body, which was why she was careful and waited for the right time to use it. 'Demon Skill should be useful against Spirits.' That was Persia's thoughts about the Demon Form.

"Activate Demon Form," After such words, A Notification echoed within Persia's mind. Persia couldn't help but chuckle as she felt that she was throwing forms towards Statera. It was a Sign that her Attacks weren't effective against Statera. Even her Monster Form with High Physique was highly ineffective against Statera. Persia then closed her eyelids as a Silver Hellfire engulfed her body.

Statera noticed the burning Hellfire and thought to herself. 'That Unique HellFire... It resembles the Fire of an Extinct Race.' Demons already got extinct within the Realm of Piksyon. The ones that replaced them were the Devil Race. The Devil Race tends to fall under Lawful Evil, while Demon falls under Chaotic Evil. It was why the Demons died off within the Realm of Piksyon, but other than their Chaotic Evil Side. Devils and Demons are mostly the same.

The Hellfire burned Persia's body and healed it over and over again. It was reconstructing her body to accommodate the Demon Form, which was unexpected. Fortunately, Persia had high resistance against the pain as she might have been screaming right now. Notifications then echoed as the Reincarnation began.

[Reconstruction has begun.]

[Congratulations for activating the Demon Form.]

[Demon Form and Original Form will now fuse into one for the deactivation of Demon Form Debuffs.]

[Fusing...]

As Persia's body got broken by matter and matter, She was slowly and surely losing her Humanoid Form that likely resembled a Human. She might even have forgotten she was a Human, but that would be for later. Seven Seconds later, The Fusion between her Demon Form and her Original Form was complete. A Notification then echoed within her mind.

[Fusion complete.]

[Origin Demon Skills gained...]

[You have gained Skills, Azatoth Creation, Disaster Manipulation, Mind Control, Physical Alteration, Supercell, and Chaos Plague.]

[Scanning...]

[You are the last Demon within the Realm of Piksyon.]

[Congratulations, You will now hold the Demon Progenitor Title.]

[Demon Lord Title Acquired.]

[Automatic Evolution will begin in 24 Hours.]

Persia opened her eyelids which revealed her Golden Amber Eyes with a Slit Pupil. She had two Silver Ancient Horns on her head and a Coal-Black Silver Tail behind her. She also had Two Pitch-Black and Bat-like Wings behind her who revealed themselves to the Realm of Piksyon. Persia looked at Statera as a Sword formed in front of her. She grabbed such a sword and pointed it towards Statera, who was smirking in excitement.

"Let's end this, Statera."

Persia spoke with a Calm and Soothing Voice as Thousands of Dark Red Lightning struck the Wasteland at the same time. The Heaven Roared and the Earth Shook.. It was time for the Duel to conclude.
