Warlock of War: My Ares System

Chapter 399 Orion Vs Aisa (2)

?

BOOOOOOOOM 

The dragons exploded into massive flowers of ice, planting themselves into his flesh and sprouting out into massive flowers that began to drain his essence. And as his power began to fill me up, I felt something begin to drain straight out of my pores. 

For a second, I was growing stronger, but once the young man muttered something indescribable, everything stopped. Sure, the energy was still pouring into me, but at the same time, it was leaking from every orifice in my body and gathering a red mist around us. 

But then, just as we deactivated these skills, and split apart, realizing that nothing was going to happen if we stayed in that stalemate, instinctively, we activated our best skills. It was almost like a silent agreement between the both of us.

"[Throne World…" We muttered unanimously. 

…

(Demon God POV) 

"Oh shit… take a step back," I muttered, turning towards the vampire behind me. She quickly followed my orders and backed away so far that she was at the very edge of the barrier, so I quickly adjusted that. 

By snapping out a tendril of miasma, I quickly grabbed her and pulled her into me. And as my arm hung around her, she looked up at me with a blush before quickly standing up. Seeing that she had recovered, I shielded us with an extra layer of barriers just to make sure we wouldn't be blown off of this estate. 

"Mistress, what's happening?" 

"Their throne worlds are gathering…." 

In front of us, the two youngsters smiled at each other. Each one of their auras exploded outwards, nearly tearing another hole in the spatial isolation above. They clashed with each other and eventually began to fill the entire bubble of protection that would save not only the lives of everybody in this estate but everybody else outside of it. 

"I've never seen such power before… how could they acquire so much strength at such a young age? I swear I was able to overpower them a week ago… but now… they're entirely different beings. Especially Orion… the only thing I can do when looking at him is lower my head." 

"Well, that's mostly because of his class, but in reality, they were this strong to begin with. You know… both of these kids are blessed by demon lords." 

"But even then, that much of a difference is-" 

"Indeed, there is that much of a difference. Did you expect anything less from the strongest beings in hell? Were you expecting something different? By blessing another being, you transfer part of your power to them, which expands their potential and talent. It's innately designed to create a better version of yourself." 

"Huh? Really? Then why would you ever do that?" 

"Because there are certain conditions with the person being blessed. Sure, they have the potential to become much stronger and more powerful than the person blessed, but that's if the person who blessed them permits it in the first place. Normally, people like them stagnate in power like in their previous evolutions… but the demon lords have, for some reason, allowed them to grow out of control." 

"May I ask why? Or, do you even know why?" 

I paused, almost letting the reason slip from my mouth and letting it fall into the hands of such a weak and pitiful thing. If she knew that the demon lords were planning something so malicious that it could overturn the entirety of the divine system of gods and demons, then I'm sure she wouldn't be able to keep quiet when questioned by incredibly strong beings. 

I mean, if you were tortured by Hades and knew he was at the top of the hell hit list created by the demon lords… then what else could you say. Not that Hades hasn't found out, as I'm sure he knows they are plotting something, but for now, he can't do much. If he eradicates them, then not only will the citizens of hell fall into chaos, but chaos itself will descend upon the underworld. 

VWOOP 

All of a sudden, a white light enveloped the two youngsters. They had finished charging up their attacks, and now that their throne worlds concentrated into a single point before them, they finished announcing their skills. 

"...Concentrated Capsule of Ice]." 

"...Chaos Hole]."

Aisa had already previously used her throne world, meaning she was investing even more mana than before… and the fact that this one was way bigger than the previous one meant that she was planning on this being her final attack. 

Not only did her double disappear, but the rest of her buffs which had been stacked up on her, disappeared, poofing into dust and getting sucked into the swirling gusts of the aura surrounding her. It was a frightening scene watching so much power get eradicated with one single skill, but she couldn't help it. 

A purple explosion radiated from Orion's body as Aisa froze into one singular sculpture of dense water. The image of a black hole hung behind him like a halo of void while Aisa's sculpture began to crack, revealing her from beneath. 

Those flashy gold eyes she had just obtained quickly disappeared into two bright and light blue pupils, with her hair turning completely white. No blue highlights, no dyed ends. Nothing but pure and utter whiteness enveloped each hair follicle. 

Her entire body was coated in ice, and a thin veil of armor that looked like something a dragon warrior would wear surrounded her skin. Her two daggers had shifted into that of two longswords made completely of clear ice. And the only reason I could see them was because the mana and power that they radiated was unlike anything I had seen before. 

"They're… being blessed…" I muttered in disbelief, watching the silhouettes of various gods descend behind her, reaching out their hands to envelop both swords in their divine golden light. 

"Huh? Just like Orion? Are her weapons being blessed as well? But I thought those weapons weren't very special. Orion had a special weapon which is why it got blessed… but why would they bless her weapons? They're average at best in terms of quality…." The vampire commented, and as I continued to stare at the fresh pupil that I had recently picked up, I slowly replied to her. 

"It isn't the weapons that are special… but Aisa herself. She's the reason those weapons have been blessed." 

Normally, she would just infuse her weapons or something else entirely with the throne world, but now that she's gone all out, she's pulled out her best move. By infusing the throne world deep into her body and then even scraping her own soul with it, she can become the throne world itself. A proper skill for somebody whose weapons had just been blessed.

Shifting my eyes over to Orion, I noticed he was still trying to figure out his throne world. It was something I had never heard before… [Chaos Hole], obviously referring to his current race, the Incarnate of Chaos. 

The halo of a swirling black hole behind him didn't do much but appear threatening. Sure, it caused a few gusts of wind to ruffle that long dark purple hair of his, but besides that, Aisa looked to be the more threatening one. 

"H-Huh?" 

[The Supreme Being of Space and Time gazes proudly down at the fight]

The dinging of a panel appearing before me, a foreign sensation that I hadn't experienced in such a long time, signaled the beginning of a chill shooting down my spine. The young man's god marks quivered on his face before splitting open, causing a blast of murky golden blood to shoot out and then freeze upon coming in contact with Aisa's aura. 

"W-What the hell is that?" The vampire beside me stuttered, her teeth chattering against each other as she held her shivering body. And before I knew it, she dropped to the ground, unconscious at the sight of whatever Orion had become. 

Two swirling black holes had become his eyes while his spear twisted and contorted, creating its own vacuum that began to suck in Aisa's own precious aura. His god marks which had torn open from his cheek and all the way down his neck, torso, leg, and foot suddenly sucked the frozen blood back in, returning to their blackened form. 

Even the young man didn't look like he knew what was happening, but from what he could tell, he knew a strong power began to swell within him. Just upon the activation of this skill, he began to quake the very forces of nature. Just upon the activation of this skill, he bent space to his will, the black hole of a spear he held being shining proof of that. 

"A demi-god… this is a demi-god. I'm about to witness the apotheosis of a demi-god," I smiled maniacally. I couldn't help but laugh as I witnessed the boy's aura crack straight through my spatial isolation while somehow, Aisa began to match his power.
