Chapter 884 Jared's Final Round [Pt 2]



My hair turned white, and my eyes shone with golden light.

A sphere of energy surrounded me, and layers upon layers of different elements—not only restricted to the basic five surrounded me. The numerous offers surrounded me—or rather, the sphere.

My entire body was glowing brightly too, and the multicolored energy of all the many Familiars in my possession began coating my skin and outfit in dense energy.

My cost became longer, a and something akin to a crown of jewels sat on my head. Bright energy kept condensing on me, making me extremely more powerful in every second that passed.

'I would have used [Midas Touch] too, but I'm not used to it yet.,'

Besides, having just this was mofe than enough to teach this person a lesson.

I didn't need to use my Arcanas. I just had to show him—no, show them—the error of their ways.

"You can't win, Jared." I smiled amid the torrents of energy I was releasing.

His face showed shock—or should I call it extreme intimidation.

He most likely couldn't believe how powerful J was.

He could already see how much stronger I was, compared to him. However,.blinded by rage and power—perhaps even an inferiority complex—he would not back down.

"SHUT UP!" He yelled at me, causing me to grow silent.

'I'll let you attack first...' My thoughts trailed as he clapped his hands together to activate some sort of Spell.

And, as expected... he made his first assault Spell.

"[Final Flash]"

My eyes widened when I heard that Spell. It was something I used a bit too, and it was a Peak-level Magic Spell.

Definitely, it was going to have more power than all of Jared's other Spells.

'Hr also has Spellcraft, so he's definitely going to increase the strength and ensure I get hit.'

The problem with that arrangement was that it was simply useless.

>BZZZZTTTTTTT...<

"DIE!"

The lightning descended from above, sending currents coursing through my body while also putting me into a constant state of shock and pain... or so it should have gone.

However, not even a spark of the lightning touched me.

'Anti Magic nullifies every Spell. To be honest, nothing much has really changed.'

The raging storm of lightning that aimed to descend upon me disappeared after a few seconds.

All on an instant.

"Since you've given an attack, I suppose it's my turn."

"[Sword From Heaven]" I raised my hand, and suddenly, something miraculous began to occur among the thick dark clouds

>ZJUUUUUUUUUUU<

The clouds began to part, revealing something giant and golden descending from. it.

What was it? It was a blade! An extremely massive blade.

"A-ahh..."

It fell from the sky at a currently slow pace, but thanks to its mass, and the rate of descent, it was bound to cause harm upon it's target and everything around him.

"I'll just do—"

Before Kuzon could judge, I used Spellcraft to bind him, holding him that fixed position where the sword would descend upon him.

"Feel the pain." After all, he had many other suffer the same, no, even worse.

"Y-YOU—!"

>VWUUUUUUUUUMMMMMM!!!<

The blade dropped at a massive rate, and while Jared erected an incredibly dense shield for himself, the thing easily broke, causing the blade to impale Jared and sending him crashing to the ground.

>BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!<

The ground shattered, sending dark debris flying everywhere as the area fell into plumes of smoke.

"Any second now..." I muttered.

>BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!<

Jared's body, coated in even more darkness than earlier, rose from the massive crater that had formed on the ground, and once again ascended to the sky.

"Grr..."

I felt in unnatural that an alternate version of me wouldn't be using strategies in a fight when his opponent was obviously stronger.

'Is the Miasma affecting his intelligence, or has he been so superior for so long that he can't develop any tactic to fight me?'

I still had to watch out for any surprises, but so far I didn't think he would be able to anything that would cause me substantial harm.

It would still be nice for him to try, though.

After glaring for very long, he began throwing many Spells at me, nevermind their effects.

"[Dark Flow]!"

An acid bath filled with nothing but Miasma.

Did it work? No.

"[Dark Fall]"

A strong gravitational attack that would send me flying to the ground, crushing me instantly.

Did that work? Nope!

"[Mist Of Corruption]!"

A deep dark cloud that would rot me down to my bones.

Did this one work? Of course not!

It didn't matter what Spell he used, I could either use Anti Magic or block it.

And his Original Magic only served to improve the rate, speed, efficiency, and power at which he was able to dispense the Spells.So far, I hadn't really performed a Spell his energy could imitate.

"I should respond in kind now, right?" A smile formed on my face.

Stretching my hand at him, and then focusing my energy to the top of my finger, I used a pretty simple Spell.

"[Bang]!"

>PSHU!<

A very thin concentration of golden energy left my body, diving straight toward my target.

It easily traversed the distance and reached him before he could say anything.

I watched how the bullet I released pierced Jared, and then created the next effect the Spell was known for.

>BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!<

Jared was consumed by a golden blast, causing him scream like a man bordering the very edge of insanity.

"It hurts, doesn't it? It feels like your entire cells are boiling, right?"

"S-sh-shut uuuuup!"

In an instant, he used a massive wave of Miasma to douse the burning energy. Now feed from the agony I put him true, I expected him to still be in his hateful state, but it seemed Jared had now gotten a change of heart.

His eyes were still bulging, but a smile was now plastered on his face.

"I've had enough of this. I'll just end this now..." He stretched his hands towards me, almost as if he wanted to grab something.

'Hm?' I wondered to myself.

What exactly was this guy up to now?

"[Just Die]."

Looks like Jared's gonna die again. Ah, I don't know which one...
