Abyssal Awakening - Chapter 811

Chapter 811: Abyss Lord Of Wrath

[Syrion, Abyss Lord of Wrath – ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦]

Alice gritted her teeth.

Void Fang trembled by her side.

After training together for so long, she knew how oppressive Syrion was during battle. His experience and skills made him an absolute wall that they struggled to overcome.

As for Gwen, she gritted her teeth.

Why now… why did they have to fight now. She… She hadn’t prepared herself to kill Syrion yet.

Not after he’s shown her so much good will. Why must she kill him!?

“Hesitation leads to defeat! Either turn back now or stand tall!” Syrion shouted, his figure disappearing. In his wake, the ground crumbled!

*CLANG!!!

“GWEN! Get it together! This is your Hunt!” Alice shouted, injecting energy into her Vision and parrying Syrion’s strike.

A heavy downward swing where even Void Fang was crying out in pain!

Alice winced, void energy spiralling to life next to her as she fired a point blank Void Flux!

Before her attack could even fire, a blade stabbed up, shattering the spell!

“Tch!”

Adjusting her footwork, golden chains snapped around Alice’s limbs as Alyss took over!

Destruction point!

Erasing all colour from her world, Alyss lunged forward into Syrion’s guard, aiming for the weakness that she saw.

Yet the moment she was about to strike, the weakness disappeared! He erased it!

*BANG!!!

The ground beneath them shattered as Syrion hopped back. A sword hung by his side as Alyss immediately felt danger!

Death!

*KRKKKK!!!

Sparks flew as Syrion drew his blade, unleashing a horizontal strike!

Fast yet slow.

The motion, calm, controlled. But the strike reached Alyss before she could even move her sword into place!

“I got it!” Alice shouted, countering with her own horizontal slash filled with Void energy.

A slash that perfectly swallowed Syrion’s attack before it could reach them!

Alice’s eyes darted, Syrion’s speed was tremendous. Even with her Vision, Alice only saw faint bursts of energy with each step! He was circling around them like a shark!

‘I can’t fight while protecting Gwen.’ Alice gritted her teeth.

She needed to buy some time for Gwen to make up her mind.

‘Let’s go after him! We can’t damage him too much otherwise Gwen won’t get her bounty.’ Alyss suggested as Alice nodded her head.

Resonance!

Energy burst out from her body as spider lilies blossomed around Alice.

The pattern of a singularity spun to life with Alice slamming her hand against the ground.

*RUMBLE!!!

In an instant, a barrier was projected outwards.

Space lock!

Syrion froze in the air but broke out immediately.

However, the fact that he was frozen even for just a moment was the important factor!

“Gwen! Whatever you choose, I’ll support you.” Alice glanced back before teleporting behind Syrion.

*CLANG!!!

Their blades clashed as Syrion summoned four more blades to attack Alice from around her.

But her Vision had already seen it coming!

Before they could even fire, the Void swallowed the weapons!

“Don’t think you can use your favourite weapons so easily in front of me.” Alice grinned but Syrion was unfazed. Pushing Alice away, he stomped down, creating a field of blades.

Yet once more, they were swallowed by the Void.

“I’ve dealt with your kind before. Tell me…” Syrion’s voice was low, calm yet filled with a suppressed fury. A calm sea with a turbulent storm hidden deep within.

“Can you ‘see’ all of this?”

He lifted his blade slowly. Yet with this slow motion came an unrelenting force that shattered the space in two. Cracks spreading across the abyssal realm, revealing the gaps between.

“!!!”

Alice’s smile twitched, blood dripped from the corner of her eyes. Her vision being pushed to the extreme as she observed the net of energy.

“Oi… Isn’t this a little crazy? Even for me this is insane.” Alice couldn’t help but force a laugh.

What else was she supposed to do?

Above her, through the gap of realms, a forest of blades hummed. Rows upon rows, layers upon layers. Countless blades hanging like guillotines, waiting for the command to attack.

Each one ready to tear apart any spell that Alice launches towards the skies. Should she try and force the Void to swallow this, blades will cut apart her spell from the sides.

But… Alice saw this as a challenge.

If she couldn’t avoid this attack, if she couldn’t cancel it out, why not destroy it head on?

Coiling her fingers around Void Fang, Alice brought it up to her face.

“Sorry, this might be a little painful.” She whispered before entering an offensive posture.

*Badum…

Her heart pounded with vigour, energy rushing through her veins, Sigils burning into action across her skin!

Alice injected her energy into the array that was Void Axis!

*RUMBLE!!!

Abyssal energy surged, holy energy coiled into a crown, a connection between the three Abyssal artifacts. Eldritch flowed out from the depths of her spiritual heart as golden chains snapped and hissed around her limbs.

And finally, Void converged to form a singularity that compressed into a spark of pure light. A disk of violent energy formed as Alice pulled her sword back.

With this motion, the spark disassembled itself into tiny strands of energy that funnelled into Void Fang.

The sword screamed. Trembling in Alice’s hands as the edge burned with power it had never felt before.

Aiming towards the cloud of swords, Alice unleashed a horizontal swing.

Void Axis!

A strike faster than any.

A sense of danger that sent chills down Griselda’s back.

An Apostle of Immortality who subconsciously took a step back in fear, in dread.

‘What would happen if that strike hit my core?’ The question lingered in Griselda’s mind as she finally saw the depths of Alice’s power.

This entire time, she had avoided revealing her true self during training but no more!

With this, Griselda had received an answer to a question she hadn’t thought of asking.

Alice was the one who killed Kazira!

The one in front of her was the inheritor of Velouria’s throne!

Syrion was frozen in his steps. He looked up at his blades shattering apart. By the time Alice had swung, his attack was already destroyed. They were merely reacting late to the damage.

“Magnificent.” Syrion praised.

What a beautiful strike. So full of power and refinement.

There was no doubt in Syrion’s mind. This attack was one that’s been modified by those far stronger than he!

If he had a mouth, he would be grinning manically right now.

“Good! Good! Show me more! Let me see the blade that will allow me to reach the divine throne!” Syrion laughed, reaching towards the empty space in front of him.

Coiling his fingers around an invisible hilt, he pulled!

*KRK!!!

Crimson lightning tore through the realm as a new blade constructed itself.

A single blade with no guard and a deep crimson metal that shimmered as though it was blood.

This was the blade that’ll adapt as the fight continues.

With Alice’s strike, he will forge a new sword in her name!

“Go on! Show me that strike again!” Syrion aimed his blade, ready to counter but Alice rested Void Fang on her shoulders.

“Again? I don’t think so. My job was simply to stall you know? This was never my battle. Never my bounty and it never will be. It’s Gwen. She’s the one who’ll put an end to this.” She laughed, preparing to step back.

But whether it was because of madness or perhaps Syrion’s true feelings, he lunged.

*BANG!!!

In an instant, he was already in front of Alice, his sword mid swing.

But Alice was calm, she didn’t falter.

She simply hopped back so there was enough room between them for someone to intervene.

*CLANG!!!

Gwen appeared in front of Alice, her phoenix transformed into a set of gauntlets and leg guards.

She had parried Syrion’s strike by kicking against the face of the blade, pushing it off course!

Gwen gritted her teeth, energy surging through her body. Clashing her fists together, she fired herself up as she lunged towards Syrion!

“Just fight however you want! I’ll support you!” Alice jumped back with a grin. She deactivated Vision and created an invisible grid around the area instead.

“Okay!”

Ducking under Syrion’s slash, Gwen’s arm shot up like a bullet! A devastating upper cut that was dodged at the last second.

Pulling her arm back without delay, she took a heavy step and leaned into her next strike!

*BANG!!!

Her fist slammed against Syrion’s parry, a shockwave pushing the dust away.

“Not enough… Far from it!” Syrion shouted, summoning two blades that tried to cut Gwen down but the Void swallowed the blades once more!

Shooting a glare towards Alice, Syrion was about to move when Gwen slammed her foot into his knee, disrupting his balance momentarily.

“Eyes on me.”

She punched his wrist, forcing it down before following up with a shoulder charge and into an elbow strike against his core!

Syrion stumbled back and Gwen chased!

Pulling both arms back, she slammed them into his guard.

Flames bursting out upon collision as a golden radiance filled Gwen’s body.

Blessing!

Taking a deep breath, Gwen entered a low stance with two open palms.

Flames coiled around her as golden markings spread across her body.

Pushing her palm forward, a wave of flames rushed towards Syrion who cleaved it apart like it was nothing.

As the flames faded, he noticed that Gwen was already in front of him!

Blades shot up from below but she caught it between her fingers. Twisting her body, she slammed both of her feet into Syrion’s guard, pushing him back some more.

*KRK!!!

Yet despite catching his swords, Gwen’s arm had multiple cuts appear along her arm.

Furrowing her brows, she slammed her fists together before bringing them to her side.

Emerald flames burned against her arm, mending the wounds.

Guinevere, Cardinal of the Sun, Daughter of Arax, will claim her seventh Sigil here and now!
