Chapter 1421 Ambush [2]

Chapter 1421 Ambush [2]

The collapsing of the sky happened only once in the eyes of outsiders, but it was actually a continuous phenomenon.

The Heavenly Order was strong. Every time the sky broke, it would repair it instantly.

However, Damien and the homunculus were too strong. As fast as the Heavenly Ordered repaired the sky, they destroyed it.

BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The homunculus' spear was like a shotgun. The creature stabbed over and over again, its rhythm changing from fast to slow as it changed to a power output of each strike so precisely that it was practically magic.

Meanwhile, Damien used his fists to match it.

The laws he'd mastered, laced with Void Energy, swirled around his fists like contained galaxies. Despite the fact that Damien was using physical power against a weapon made of law energy, he kept up well.

He was able to match a majority of the homunculus' strikes. While his power fell short, his speed was able to barely match it.

He used everything in his inventory to make it so.

Whether it be something like precise mana usage to stimulate his body or the most basic technique of using lightning to enhance reaction speed, Damien used it all.

Because even the smallest effect still had effect. When everything stacked together and formed one combined buff, it gave Damien what he needed to stand toe to toe with a God.

At least, a God that was restricted by its continued presence in the physical world.

BANG!

Damien blocked an attack, striking back in the same instant.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The homunculus used its spear of light to block every fuse he threw. With the sound of metal clashing against metal, massive waves of force spread for tens of millions of kilometers, making the sky rumble dangerously.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

'I can't do any damage.'

Damien and the homunculus moved so fast they were like shooting stars across the night sky. Watching from the ground, nobody could distinguish them from two light trails dancing together.

However, this was a deadly clash, more so for Damien than the homunculus.

No matter how he attacked, he couldn't find a way to break through the homunculus' defense. Even when he was able to strike its body, it felt more like he struck iron as a mortal.

A nigh-impenetrable body and spear and law skills that were beyond what a normal genius could display.

The homunculus made the reason for its existence incredibly clear.

And the thought Damien had as he tried to find a way to deal damage to it was...

'...is this what it's like to fight me?'

Disregarding his inability to deal damage, he was doing quite well.

His body wasn't as impenetrable as the creature's, but it was pretty much the same.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

"Khhh...!"

Damien gritted his teeth.

The homunculus was thrown higher into the sky as he hoped, but he wasn't completely safe either.

Its spear had punctured his shoulder as he focused on landing a hit.

When it was thrown into the air, the spear ripped through his shoulder, leaving an open gash that was spurting out blood.

Damien sent Void Energy into his shoulder as it healed, removing all the corrosive mana that was fed into him.

At the same time, he pushed upward and met the homunculus several hundred thousand kilometers higher in the sky, at a location where their fight wouldn't affect those uninvolved.

Naturally, the homunculus didn't care about where they fought. Its only order was to slaughter the man standing in the sky. It didn't have the intelligence to target the innocent to draw him in.

Therefore, as it saw him approaching, it once again prepared to strike.

Light gathered around the tip of its spear, swirling into a golden tornado.

It pushed out, concentrating its strength into the swirling mana, and thrusted its spear.

VOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A massive beam of light slammed into Damien and went straight through him.

He was burned. Bad. The burns dug into his skin and bones, into the very cells that made up his body, and made sure not a single inch of his physical form remained unharmed.

"FUCK!"

Damien roared, but internally. His vocal cords were burned, so he couldn't actually shout it.

That hurt.

A lot.

But he wasn't knocked out of commission.

Even in this state, the Ananta Matrix existed.

And as long as the Ananta Matrix existed, he could fight.

VOOOOOOOM!

Mana gathered around his charred body.

It carried traces of the world, traces of Existence, traces of the Void.

Damien didn't know what he was about to do.

He was just gathering his mana and following his instinct to form it into an attack.

But whatever was about to happen as a result of his actions...

...was going to be apocalyptic.
