Chapter 1123 Suppressing the Ashes

Each ghost Ereg summoned had a specific function. They all gave him some sort of combat advantage or ability. Obviously, the stronger the ghost was the more complex it was as well as varied.

Purple one's main ability was to transform into armor that gave Ereg the ability to easily survive an attack from hundreds of ash swords. However, that was only part of the armor's capabilities, as it also raised all of Ereg's parameters even higher.

Whoooooooooooooosh.

In a heartbeat, Ereg crossed dozens of meters, finding himself right in front of Gael, with streams of white ash floating around him. Before, the white ash had slowly but surely healed Gael's wounds, however, now it had switched to another function - defense.

Gael's pupils narrowed as Ereg's massive fist appeared in front of him, coming at him with abnormal speed. It was unlikely that anyone who wasn't at the same power level as them could even see this attack.

'Quick! I won't be able to dodge!" Gael internally exclaimed before the white ash came into motion creating a dense barrier in front of him.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Ereg's fist collapsed onto the white ash, causing it to shake and shatter into small particles. The main power of Ereg's attack was not in his superior physical strength but in his vibrations. He could use them to destroy ash swords, so now he was going to do the same to the white ash.

"Gael, stop doing nonsense. Regeneration? Ash swords? None of this is like you! I'm sure the Progenitor of Ashens must have more terrifying power than all this!" Ereg exclaimed with slight irritation.

A new wave of purple energy with vibrations traveled down his arm, emerging from his fist. They immediately shattered another part of the barrier, leaving only about half of it as white ash.

"Hmm... Does Ereg not notice this?" Liang said in a puzzled manner, scratching his chin. His gaze was directed at the white ash lying on the ground, trembling slightly.

Nitra shrugged, "It's quite possible. He just doesn't realize that those vibrations aren't enough to permanently destroy the white ash."

At the same moment, Nitra leaned forward slightly and the mechanisms in her eyes came into motion. She examined the white ash in great detail, comparing it to an ordinary one.

Of course, this was no ordinary ash, but one endowed with Gael's energy and transformed long ago because of his aura. It had been affecting the ash for thousands of years, so Nitra's scientific approach wasn't enough to make sense of it.

However, she had enough information to realize that white ash was many times denser and yet smaller than normal ash.

"I see... Now I understand why he was creating white ash in such small quantities, it's just an illusion." Nitra muttered with curiosity in her gaze.

"Hm? What are you talking about?" Nila asked.

Nitra pointed at the ash, "Gael has vast stores of energy and from them he creates ash, I think that's obvious to everyone. Each unit of energy is a particle of ash and it's not that it's harder to create white ash, it's just that its particles are much smaller. Several dozen times smaller than normal ones."

Nitra nodded with a serious expression, "Exactly. His vibrations would have to be much stronger if he wants to destroy the white ash, however... I don't think that's necessary."

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Ereg used his physical power to quickly destroy Gael's shield and he managed to do so rather quickly.

"That's it. You're going to have to figure something out again if you don't want to lose!" Ereg exclaimed before stepping forward.

The barrier of ash shattered into small shards, revealing Gael and leaving him unprotected.

Gael swung his sword, in an attempt to defend against the attack, however, he moved too slowly, since Ereg's fist had already sunk into his stomach.

"Argh!" Gael spat out a mouthful of blood as his eyes went wide, filled with pain and incomprehension.

The impact, threw Gael hundreds of meters up, knocking him out of the dome through one of the many rings of flame.

This time Ereg didn't pursue his opponent and tried to attack Gael in mid-air. He just looked at Gael, at his shocked face and puzzled look. novε(1b.1n

When Ereg used black ghosts, Gael was much stronger, and almost nothing changed even when Ereg used crimson phantoms.

However, the appearance of the purple phantom completely changed the course of their battle. Now everything changed, and Gael was much weaker, he simply couldn't do anything to his opponent, who was now immune to ash swords and any other attacks.

"Damn, I thought Gael would be stronger..." Osvald uttered, clearly upset by such a scene. He wanted to see the full strength of the one who bore the title - The Invincible.

Sven shrugged, "There's nothing surprising about that. Ereg is using Liang sighed, "That means that Ereg's vibrations aren't enough to destroy white ash, right?"

what the Beastfolks have always done and are doing - physical power. In the beginning, Ereg used different tricks and abilities, and Gael just fire and ash, but now things have changed."

Marlis nodded, "I agree. What's the point of his ash dome if now Ereg is just some invulnerable warrior? His armor, vibrations, and physical strength just overwhelm Gael and prevent him from using his power."

Wain took a deep breath, "Come on, guys, don't you realize that's not all Gael is capable of?"

Marlis raised an eyebrow, "I understand that you want him to win, but I don't see him having any chance. Ereg probably has ghosts of other colors and they're more powerful and serious than purple. That means Gael doesn't stand a chance, his ash and swordsmanship were useless against Ereg's ghosts. A lot has changed since their last battle."

Wain shrugged, "Well, maybe you're right, but if it were that simple Gael wouldn't have earned his title. He has the white ash as well as the gray one. Isn't it obvious that there's another color missing?"
