The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 218: Hydra versus Tenebris Abyssus
Chapter 218: Hydra versus Tenebris Abyssus
We’re on a relatively big island, I look at Lilith barely containing myself, giving in to my instincts isn’t the best of ideas, but I need to test how powerful I become at 50%.
In the past I wouldn’t even have a chance to keep up with Lilith in a fight, but now I feel I can and I want to see if I’m really as powerful as I imagine myself to be.
After all, if this strength is enough, I plan to challenge Mikael, but if it’s weaker than I imagine, then I’ll just wait to have more power.
’My revenge is getting closer and closer’ I can almost touch and taste the flavor of revenge, but I won’t be impatient, one step at a time.
"Pandora, are you sure about this, you know I’m terrible at self-control...when we start fighting, I might not be able to stop myself from attacking you to kill" Lilith warns as Nix stares at me like a predator.
And Kaos seems to analyze me like prey, a differential for her usual shy side, the 3 of them are ready to start a fight and Lilith is clearly struggling to hold back as well.
"It’s okay, I know you also want to fight with me" She clearly wants to fight as much as I do, so there’s no point in denying it and since we’re on an island in the ocean, if something extreme happens, I can take the fight underwater.
"..."
"Pandora, I apologize in advance if I try to kill you, know that in a sane state I would never try to kill you...but in the current state, if I accidentally kill you, it would be regrettable and sad" Lilith slightly bends her body forward.
"Since I’m more used to it, Pandora, I’ll let you attack first, attack me however you want, but don’t hold back or you might get in a lot of trouble" She speaks not in a threatening tone or underestimating me, it’s just a warning.
"Then I’ll accept" I prepare to charge at her, I won’t be able to hold back either.
...
...
...
’I’m really going to fight Pandora’ I think as I look at Nix and Kaos, we can barely contain the urge to charge.
I never imagined that Pandora would challenge me as soon as she reached a certain level of power, and I never imagined she would have so much power even without being close to her full power.
Pandora really reminds me a lot of her older sister, the moment Pandora attacks me, I won’t be able to hold back anymore.
"..." Pandora stares at me, preparing to charge, and suddenly in a movement that even I didn’t see, she’s in front of me, her hand extremely close to hitting my eyes, aiming to destroy my head.
Kaos uses a powerful barrier, stopping the attack less than 2 centimeters from hitting me, with ’calm’ I hold Pandora’s arm and throw her against the trees.
While I, Nix and Kaos charge with a distance of 3 meters from each other, Pandora quickly recovers and charges straight at me, our speed having slight variations, with me being slower.
Unable to hold back anymore, my aura is revealed and Pandora blocks my aura with hers, the island is relatively small, so half of the island is covered with my aura and the other half with Pandora’s aura.
The clash of auras damages everything around and all the small living beings like insects and animals end up dying.
Pandora charges directly at me and I charge at her, we hit one hand against the other and hold each other in place while we start to push each other, competing in strength.
Nix tries to attack Pandora, who defends herself with her tail, while Kaos prepares buff spells for us 3 and debuff spells for Pandora. In our strength competition, I prove to be superior, then I push Pandora.
Pandora takes advantage of her slender and slightly smaller body than mine to take a slight jump and then lean down, using my arms as bars and passing under my legs.
She releases my hands and in this way she is on my back in a blind spot, I try to turn around quickly, but I am hit with a mana-charged punch that pushes me forward and breaks some bones.
Nix and Kaos are also pushed with me because of our connection, we regain our posture only to see a Pandora with a maniacal smile right in front of us trying to hit my head.
She seems to have me as her main target among us 3, since I’m the one who shows the greatest control, I dodge by leaning my body back, letting her pass straight.
I hold her tail and quickly lean up while hitting her hard on the ground, but somehow her tail becomes too slippery to hold and she escapes by jumping back and charging at me again.
However, she changes direction and starts using the trees, jumping from one to the other around me at extreme speed, my instincts sharpen and my pupils contract as I try to follow her.
Nix is the one who is seeing her movements the most, so when she charges at Nix, I kick the ground down with my aura, the impact is so strong and oppressive that the ground simply "disappears" it was pushed down with so much violence that a small hole appeared instantly.
It’s not very deep, but it surprised Pandora, who no longer has contact with the ground, Kaos takes a jump and a backflip with a downward kick, hitting Pandora’s back and pushing her against the ground.
When she rises again due to the impact, Nix gives a spinning kick to the left, throwing her while I appear in the direction and kick her down again.
And when she is lifted, I kick her stomach up, lifting her in the air while Kaos shoots a crystal magic through Pandora’s abdomen, which quickly regenerates. Pandora uses the air as a step, using mana to step on the air.
She seems to have just learned this, showing her absurd adaptability, she starts using the air as a platform to make that movement of jumping from one side to the other to gain speed.
As Pandora is a very fast being, she ends up taking great advantage of anything that increases her speed to the extreme, as she is using the air as a step, she is faster than before.
And now none of us 3 can see the movement correctly, so we stand back to back covering a wider field of vision while I prepare a barrier.
Nix prepares magic to locate Pandora and Kaos prepares attack magic, soon we find Pandora, who isn’t really close to us, she used all this as a distraction.
I amplify the barrier to the maximum while a giant magic burst cuts the island from one side to the other, an extremely loud buzzing sound occurs while everything outside the barrier turns light blue.
Soon a strange darkness begins to "bite" the barrier, they are like completely black teeth that bite into the barrier, opening holes, it must be some kind of Pandora’s shadow.
I use magic to infiltrate the earth with Nix and Kaos while we hide our presence, quickly reaching and coming out of the ground, hitting Pandora and stopping her attack.
I start punching Pandora’s body in sequence while Nix hits Pandora in the back and Kaos prevents the movement of Pandora’s limbs and tail with magic.
"[Explosive Life]" Two extra mouths appear on Pandora’s body and both repeat the same spell, soon the area explodes a little, raising a cloud of dust and sand.
I start to be hit without being able to defend myself properly, several injuries begin to be made on my body while I am cut by something, I notice that some internal organs have been destroyed.
"M-Maximized Sacred Magic [Lament of the Angels]" The entire area is covered in light when I use magic, I hug Pandora tightly, trapping her near me, and soon I am bombarded with magic by Nix and Kaos.
I thrust my hand into Pandora’s abdomen and generate magma there, Pandora already has considerable adaptation against fire, but having magma added directly to her organs will delay her.
We take distance from each other while Nix starts to heal me, I look at Pandora, who maintains her natural psychotic expression while regenerating, soon my legs are trapped to the ground by something that bit me.
Two shadow sharks hold me in place.
"[The world that does not find peace becomes made of dust]" Pandora begins to recite a spell, but instead of fleeing, I decide to fight with another spell, I, Nix and Kaos begin to speak.
"[Child blessed by God, but who has strayed from his path will suffer the punishment]" I say along with Nix and Kaos.
"Maximized Chaos Magic [World of Dust]" She speaks at the same time as I finish her spell.
"Maximized Corrupted Sacred Magic [Silver Child]" I say, using corrupted sacred element magic.
We cast magic at the same time, soon Pandora’s magic makes everything that is alive in some way begin to turn into dust, while my magic makes a golden and black beam of light fall on Pandora.
"WILL YOU CONTINUE? LET’S SEE WHO DIES FIRST!" Pandora yells at me with a smile, clearly determined to kill me even if it’s not the goal.
"THEN WE’LL SEE!!" I respond to her at the same height, increasing the mana to the maximum, watching her body disintegrate while I am healed by Nix and Kaos, the regeneration that fails first loses this dispute.
"..." Pandora increases her mana to resist as well, while she starts to take steps, approaching, the scenery around us turning to dust and flying due to the winds generated by our attacks, with each step Pandora takes, she receives less damage, adapting and evolving extremely quickly.
’I’m losing...’ I don’t have adaptation, this confrontation is already lost, I stop trying to maintain the position and use magic to move away from Pandora, going to the other side of the island.
"Corrupted Sacred Magic [7-Day Barrier]" A curse magic that generates a large barrier.
Soon a heavy aura occurs while I watch Pandora assume a partial monster form.
"So that’s how you want to play? Two can play this game, Pandora!" I start to activate my partial monster form, I’ll lose even more control, but I don’t care, I just want to enjoy the excitement of the moment.
It’s been a while since I had this much fun.
