Perfect Avatar-Chapter 315: The Twilight Of The World: Hope And Despair
Chapter 315: The Twilight Of The World: Hope And Despair
The giant hydra raised its numerous heads, the glow of the seven Sins in the eyes.
Its gigantic size matched only the instability of anything in contact with its body.
The Pseudo-avatars watched the monster, with the devil above it.
They remained frozen for a bit, then one by one, they nodded to no one.
"Since I can’t attack you in peace, I’ll just launch a permanent attack, you’ll die sooner or later."
The Hydra launched its seven heads on the warriors, the neck stretching.
In the air, Dora noticed several platforms forming, Marie’s signature.
"So obvious."
He swung his sword, creating a blast above, while the Hydra reached their target with an explosion.
An ocean of destruction spread on the ground, but Dora couldn’t care less.
Understanding that his reaction was delayed, he focused on anticipating their moves, Marie’s platforms announced that they would come around him, and if they didn’t, the hydra would destroy them on the ground.
".... Uh?"
A flash struck his mind, he looked behind, where the explosion happened only a few seconds ago, but instead of an ocean of fire, it was a large orange dome spreading, erasing the energy.
"... Gluttony’s blessing?"
In the middle, Solaria, arms stretched, unleashed a move created by her mother, with a power she unlocked less than 2 hours ago.
The dome stretched, reaching the sky, but not dangerous enough to worry Dora. freёnovelkiss.com
"I don’t know what’s going on here, but whatever. I’ve already countered.... Ah... Yeah... I can’t use my blessings..."
He opened a door behind him with Angelo’s skill, disappearing in it and resurfacing even higher in the sky.
Solaria’s dome didn’t grow bigger than that, watching this, he nodded to himself.
"As expected, if she keeps going, she will kill the others, so she won’t extend the range to protect them... So I deduce they’re all in this perimeter."
He raised the spear, with his aura intensifying.
On the ground, Solaria flinched, she was immobile for a bit, then lowered her arms in front of her, but her eyes were burning with determination.
"... Hm... At this range, I should see them coming... They--- charge that attack."
Dora frowned, he watched the princess on the ground, with growing confusion.
"... What... was I trying to do?"
For a moment, he was lost in thought, he felt as if he could end the battle anytime, but at the same time, if he didn’t pay attention to something, I would be in trouble.
His eyes narrowed down.
"... What... What did he do to me? I know he did something with the law... But why can’t I remember it? I haven’t been touched by voracity... Did I?"
He thought for a while, all this time gathering energy in his spear.
His gaze tensed, it was lasting too long, it was abnormal that with his power he couldn’t eliminate them instantly, and it was exactly what was terrifying with the situation.
"... I need to end this quickly."
With his spear, he slashed the air twice, following a giant X pattern.
The mark left opened a rift in space, and from the void, burning with energy.
"You could stop a hydra, now try to stop that."
The rift glowed, its light showering the ground, waves of aura converged, shining with intensity.
Dora lowered his spear, launching a gigantic beam on the area.
The beam fell like thunder with the power of a calamity, the city disappeared under the blast, the devastation, and the drums of the explosion.
Everything was bathing under a purple and pink ocean, there was no trace of a city.
Dora sighed in relief.
"Should have started by this. I can’t believe it was so annoying..."
His heart was racing, his brain was burning, he had just won the battle, but he had a hard time enjoying it.
"... Alright... Now that it’s over, I can kill them..."
He looked beneath, and once he saw the remains of his attack, his view blurred.
".... Wait... Why... Did I... Did I kill anyone?"
He tried to rub his eyes, but the helmet kept his hands away.
"What the hell is going on?! Fucking armor... Get off... ME!"
He grabbed the helmet and struggled to remove it, but the armor was stuck to his body.
He couldn’t breathe well, his thoughts were increasing and burning his mind, he barely could see anything, and the last thing he saw was Freya’s axe on his face.
"GUH!!!"
The sky shone, the impact reverberated on the ground, Dora spun in the air, feeling as if his head had exploded and regenerated continuously.
Everyone else was there, around him, the platforms were back, Lilith with his appearance launched a small ball with the exact intensity as the explosion on the ground, Giudecca shot a barrage, on Lucca’s back, Hope had created several ancient warriors, Dora, Elizabeth, and Thomas, all launching attacks.
When the blasts stopped, Mercy slashed him several times, with such speed that he never saw the attack, but he could recognize the feeling, and from time to time, he was bombarded with Voracity.
"... What’s going on? How are they fighting so well? My pressure should have incapacitated them... They shouldn’t be so coordinated... Even if I’m limited, they shouldn’t be able to dominate me..."
He seemed to float in the air or was he on the ground, he couldn’t tell.
His thoughts kept him from thinking, even when he wasn’t thinking, his mind was racing.
Marie pierced his armor with a dagger covered in red particles, for a brief moment, he could see her face.
"..."
The girl was smiling, a very bright smile, not just relief or acceptance, she looked like she was having fun.
She took off her dagger and jumped away, behind the armor regenerated, but the pain increased.
Dora was like frozen in time, he scanned the space with his senses, resulting in another wave of information, but this time, he went through it to confirm what he had seen.
Everyone was smiling, or slightly annoyed, they weren’t just fighting, they were enjoying the moment.
Dora had thousands of ideas crossing his mind, he was getting destroyed, but then, under his helmet, he smiled.
"That’s it... I got it!"
He recovered his balance, crouched in the air, and extended.
His aura exploded, unleashing waves of energy shaking the air.
Everyone got sent backward, some landing on Marie’s platforms, others on Lucca’s back.
The struggle took an abrupt end, with Dora steaming with rage.
"... That’s it... This is what’s happening... You are still here, aren’t you... The other me?"
Freya flinched.
Dora raised his head, gazing at the giant head in the horizon.
"The armor to increase the pain... Hm... Wait, no, ah... Actually it’s reversing... The armor reverse my power on myself, so when I’m using my pressure, it’s acting against me... And you’re flooding my mind with stupidity to keep me from thinking... And in the meantime you’re giving them instructions..."
An expression of shock washed over everyone’s face. No more though crossed Dora’s mind, causing him to smile.
He grabbed his arm, tightening the grip, the armor cracked under his hand, and in one move, he tore apart a huge piece of his arms.
A part of the armor was removed, leaving a burned skinless arm in the air, quickly covered by the armor regenerating.
"... You piece of shit."
With this simple act, Dora confirmed his theory. He was unable to use his pressure because the armor and the law reversed its effect on him.
All this time he was not only fighting against the Pseudo-avatars, but also against himself, the pressure of 7 Sins, time slow and time stop, many forms of law, and he was still assimilating 3 Sins.
On the Pseudo-avatars’ side, the tension increased.
"... What the... I thought he wasn’t supposed to think anymore?" Hope trembled.
Marie stepped back, putting a hand on her right ear.
"Dora, he has found out your trick! What do we do?!"
Their will to fight quickly flew away, despite having the upper hand.
Somewhere else, in the shadow, the boy had a little sweat on his forehead.
(... How did he get all of that?)
The truth of the development of this battle was put in broad light.
From the moment the other Dora took over, the true Dora used a combination of spells on himself to nerf him to the maximum.
Not just the few he could guess, but a true collection full of creativity.
In the meantime, as everyone possessed a part of a Sin in them, he managed to contact them, in a way similar to telekinesis.
(Everyone, stay focused. He might have understood our trick, but he’s still on the losing side. His presence in our body is decreasing, with the 3 of us inside, he won’t be able to control it.)
The multitude of thoughts filled the other Dora again, but this time he didn’t react.
(I’ll try to take over, the maids, change your target, focus on nullifying his damages, Liliana, get ready to send Marie and Lilith to Iris if things get dangerous, the others, keep fighting, I didn’t choose this place for no reason. We just need to reduce his presence a little more.)
His eyes shone white, alongside the others.
- Karma Wheel
The atmosphere cracked, everyone was frozen on the spot, on the side, a giant wheel with seven fires appeared.
They watched the formation in disbelief, with Dora emitting a black glow.
"Do you believe in your own cheers?"
His aura spread into waves, of darkness, mixing many kinds of energy and spells.
The Pseudo-avatars jumped around, but each of them felt their soul crossed by waves.
"!!!"
Mercy, Artesis, Solaria, and Nosfera were struck in mid-air by a flash.
At the same time, a warm breeze enveloped Liliana, Hope, and Vixen.
On Dora, the two events succeeded, the impact strong enough to break a part of the helmet, showing his left eye with a spiral as a pupil.
Unlike the others, he didn’t fall, standing with a sick smile.
"... You thought pushing me to a corner was a wise idea? You idiots... It will only make the game spicier..."
The helmet regenerated a red point on the side of his left eye.
"I’ll show you just how crazy I can be. The real party starts now!"
