Chapter 206: Oveing Again
Number 2, with its mane of blue mes and skeletal body, possessed a unique trait.
<i>Whoosh!</i>
As that trait manifested, Number 2’s mane shifted from blue mes to ck mes, igniting with an intense energy.
“Neighhh!”
With the ck mes zing, apletely different aura radiated from Number 2.
These ck mes were none other than Kraush’s own ck mes.
The unique trait of Number 2.
It could perfectly share the power of its rider.
Which meant. <i>‘el.’</i>
The figures of both Number 2 and Kraush blurred simultaneously.
At that moment, starlight fired by the Reverse Night Star streaked past where they had just been.
The starlight, a beam of destruction capable of erasing anything it touched with searing heat, missed its mark.
But with el shared between Kraush and Number 2, evasion was effortless.
<i>tter—</i>
The sound of hooves striking the ground echoed through the air.
Number 2, empowered by Kraush’s strength, neighed joyfully as it galloped.
“Number 2, I’ll leave all the evasion to you from now on.”
“Snort.”
Number 2 snorted in acknowledgment, its movements confident and poised.
With Kraush’s el and Annihtion Erosion shared, Number 2 could surely evade the Reverse Night Star’s attacks.
Trusting Number 2 entirely, Kraush let it take full responsibility for his survival.
Meanwhile, Kraush’s eyes slowly closed.
He was entering a state of intense focus.
<i>‘Annihtion Heavenly Asura alone won’t be enough to defeat the Reverse Night Star.’</i>
Back during the initial surprise attack, Kraush had used Annihtion Moonfire to destroy three of the Reverse Night Star’s wings.
That was undoubtedly a significant victory.
But it was also then that Kraush realized one thing for certain.
Annihtion Heavenly Asura wasn’t enough to bring down the Reverse Night Star.
To extract the Four Seasons from the creature, it had to bepletely subdued.
For that, Annihtion Heavenly Asura alone was woefully insufficient.
Especially now, with the Reverse Night Star having be one with starlight, it was nearly immune to physical attacks.
Even the damage that didnd would be significantly reduced.
<i>‘Which means I need to push the output even further.’</i>
White mist began to escape from Kraush’s mouth.
Under the influence of Nox, his hair gradually turned back to a pitch-ck shade, like ink spreading through water.
Annihtion Heavenly Asura was a technique that forcibly broke through its limits by enhancing the Annihtion Asura state with instant enhancement elixirs.
If Kraush were to defeat the Reverse Night Star, he had to surpass those limits once more.
<i>Whoosh—</i>
Deep within Kraush’s core, the Ignis fueled by World Erosion burned fiercely, ring into Annihtion Erosion.
The mes surged, spreading through Kraush’s body and igniting it from within.
These intense mes were no longer unfamiliar to Kraush.
Under the already dark and unending night sky, Kraush’s own night grew even deeper, cloaking everything in darkness.
A night so imprable that even a single step ahead couldn’t be seen.
But in that pitch-ck sky, stars began to appear one by one.
The Heavenly ying Star had awakened.
When all seven stars had finally taken their ce in the sky, they began to pour out starlight.
<i>Thump!</i>
With that, Kraush’s output surged once more.
The unique power of the Heavenly ying Star amplified the strength of World Erosion even further.
Cold sweat formed on Kraush’s brow as the zing heat radiated outward, raising the surrounding temperature sharply.
The space around him distorted visibly from the intensity.
But even this was nowhere near enough.
As smoke escaped his mouth, Kraush clenched his teeth tightly.
At the same time, yet another force began toyer onto his body.
el.
el, a skill that elerated anything, was now applied to the Annihtion Erosion burning within Kraush.
Already fueled by thebined power of the Heavenly ying Star and World Erosion, the mes red even hotter with the added eleration.
The results were extraordinary, pushing the limits of reason.
<i>Crunch!</i>
Kraush bit down so hard his teeth felt like they might shatter.
The heat pounding through his body was growing ever more intense, battering his very flesh from within.
The mes of Annihtion Erosion were already circting rapidly through Kraush’s body, igniting various parts of it.
The moment el was added to this cirction, the mes began to move through his body at an entirely different level of speed.
As the mes elerated, they burned more intensely, heating Kraush’s body further.
Like countless rounds of tempering a piece of raw iron to forge it into the de of a sword, Kraush’s body was undergoing constant refinement, driving his output to even greater heights.
The surrounding air currents began to shift.
The night itself started to distort.
At that moment, the Reverse Night Star sensed something was wrong.
It had been relentlessly firing beams of starlight at Kraush and Number 2 to kill them.
But now, the Reverse Night Star noticed something peculiar about its starlight.
The beams of starlight, which had been steadily flowing out of its hands, were gradually being pulled away, as if drawn toward something.
It was like the eye of a storm, sucking everything into its center.
Even the starlight emanating from the Reverse Night Star was slowly being drained away.
A strange sensation began to creep over the Reverse Night Star—a feeling it had never experienced before.
It felt as though the starlight that constituted its very being was disappearing, and that, in turn, its existence might eventually vanish altogether.
This unsettling sensation sparked a sense of crisis within the Reverse Night Star.
The starlight around it crackled with erratic sparks.
Its gazended on the boy who sat quietly with his eyes closed atop Number 2.
The intense heat emanating from Kraush was so powerful that it warped the space around him.
That heat was growing fiercer by the second, transforming into a singr, overwhelming light.
As the Reverse Night Star stared at that light, it suddenly recalled the reason it had always scattered starlight.
Under the unending night sky, it remembered something it had never witnessed before in its existence.
The Reverse Night Star had always scattered starlight to illuminate the night sky in the hopes of seeing it.
What it sought was morning.
The dawn that breaks the night.
The Reverse Night Star wanted to see the morning.
But now, there was someone bringing that dawn to life—a being emitting a fierce light that it could never produce itself.
<i>Shudder!</i>
The starlight around the Reverse Night Star flickered.
A terrible premonition surged within it, and its starlight began to intensify.
“―――――――――――!”
Lacking vocal cords, the Reverse Night Star let out a silent scream.
Its starlight, burning brighter than ever, surged violently toward Number 2.@@novelbin@@
The starlight fell like an unrelenting bombardment, splitting into thousands of rays that indiscriminately scorched the surroundings.
The night sky was painted with the overwhelming glow of the starlight’s ceaseless bombardment.
But there was one thing the Reverse Night Star didn’t realize.
As Kraush’s power increased, so did Number 2’s.
Number 2, now emitting far fiercer ck mes than before, performed acrobatic feats in perfect unison with el.
Amid the downpour of radiant starlight, it deftly avoided every single beam, galloping with miraculous precision.
It was a movement so sublime, it bordered on the divine.
“――――――――!”
The Reverse Night Star, now even more enraged, unleashed a deluge of starlight upon Number 2.
But the more relentless the attack, the more determined Number 2 became, pushing its speed to even greater heights.
This dance of attack and evasion repeated endlessly.
Meanwhile, atop Number 2, Kraush’s body continued to push past its limits.
The heat of Annihtion Erosion was now so intense that it blurred Kraush’s consciousness.
It was a heat so overwhelming that a single misstep could obliterate his mind.
<i>‘More.’</i>
Despite this, Kraush continued to draw forth even greater power.
<i>‘More!’</i>
He surpassed his limits again and again.
The single thought filling Kraush’s mind was to break through every boundary.
To surpass that limit, Kraush had to employ the best strategy at his disposal.
At that moment, a chilling white frost enveloped Kraush’s body.
It was the curse, Frost Fang.
By borrowing Frost Fang’s power, Kraush forced his body to endure its limits, allowing him to suppress the extreme heat burning within.
This gave him the capacity to draw forth even greater levels of heat.
Soon, the night sky was filled entirely with ck mes.
Amid the storm-like ze, as if preparing for the final crescendo.
<i>Crunch—</i>
The instant enhancement elixir in Kraush’s mouth shattered.
<i>Whoosh!</i>
mes erupted, engulfing his entire body in an instant.
Kraush’s physical form, having broken through yet another limit, reached an entirely new domain.
He had gone beyond Annihtion Heavenly Asura.
Within the raging ck mes, his crimson eyes shone vividly.
<b>Annihtion Heavenly Rakshasa (????)</b>
The new realm Kraush had reached after relentlessly breaking through his limits.
The sight of this struck an unprecedented sense of crisis into the mind of the Reverse Night Star.
Even as a 9-star Erosion Species, it was overwhelmed by the extraordinary aura of Kraush’s new form.
But as if to assert its dominance as a 9-star Erosion Species, the Reverse Night Star spread its arms wide.
If it couldn’t escape, it would kill its opponent.
To fulfill that simple truth, parts of its starlight-formed arms and body began to disintegrate.
The remaining starlight gathered into a singr point of light, coalescing in front of the Reverse Night Star.
Before it, a small orb of starlight was created.
However, this orb carried an entirely different level of powerpared to anything it had unleashed before.
The starlight sphere, endlessly absorbing light as if devouring the surrounding space, looked dangerous at a nce.
Kraush’s Thunderstorm was already forming a scabbard made of lightning.
Within that scabbard was a power of ck me iparable to anything seen before.
This was because even the ck me inside the scabbard was elerating under the influence of el’s power.
In this state, Kraushcked the confidence to reach the Reverse Night Star and unleash his sword.
He couldn’t even take a single step forward in his current condition.
“Number Two.”
But there was someone who could act in ce of his legs.
Number Two, unafraid even upon seeing Reverse Night Star’s sphere of starlight, began to sprint, twisting his body.
His speed gradually increased, stirring the air as he closed the distance to Reverse Night Star.
Following this, Kraush gripped Thunderstorm tightly.
The muscles in his arms and entire body trembled.
The power of ck me contained in the lightning scabbard was heavier than ever, making it feel as though Thunderstorm would slip from his grasp at any moment.
Yet Kraush’s hands held on to Thunderstorm with unyielding determination.
“Send it with all your might.”
With those words, spoken through barely exhaled breaths, el enveloped Number Two’s body once again.
As ck mes spewed forth, Number Two elerated to the point where his figure was barely visible.
In this elerated world, the Reverse Night Star’s sphere of light was finallyplete.
In an instant, all the surrounding light condensed into Reverse Night Star.
And the condensed light exploded, akin to the final stage of a star’s life.
Even in the face of such an explosion of starlight, Number Two charged forward without hesitation.
He entrusted everything entirely to Kraush.
It was Kraush, trusted by Ebsque.
A servant would never doubt someone trusted by their master.
In front of the exploding starlight.
For some reason, Kraush felt as if all sound had vanished, and even light seemed to move sluggishly.
The surrounding scenery appeared stark white.
This was the effect of el’s violent eleration, pushing his mind to the brink of overload and elerating his thoughts.
In this elerated state of thought, atop a sereneke, a single droplet of water slowly fell.
As the droplet touched the surface of theke in Kraush’s mind, ripples spread outward, epassing the entireke.
At the center of those ripples, the water began to boil and surge.
When the rising waters reached the edge of Kraush’s consciousness.
<i>Crack!</i>
The lightning scabbard that had imprisoned Kraush’s ck me finally cracked and shattered.
<i>Whoosh—</i>
The bted sound of the ck me filled the surroundings.
Witnessing this, the Reverse Night Star saw a crimson moon rise above Kraush’s head.
That crimson moon shone so brightly that, for a moment, the Reverse Night Star was reminded of the dawn that blooms in the night sky.
“――――!”
A soundless roar echoed from Reverse Night Star’s lips.
And with that roar, the ck me descended upon the world, devouring everything, including the explosion of starlight.
The spreading ck me tore through the explosion of starlight, and in the instant it reached Reverse Night Star.
Through the zing ck mes emerged Number Two and Kraush, reflected in Reverse Night Star’s eyes.
The despair of Reverse Night Star and the unyielding determination of Kraush to im victory collided in that moment.
“Rest easy.”
With those simple words, a zing sword was thrust forward, erupting with immense force.
<b>Annihtion Erosion (滅火浸蝕)</b>
<b>Sixth Form (六式)</b>
<b>Annihtion Heavenly Rakshasa me (滅天羅火)</b>
The ck mes of the Rakshasa engulfed Reverse Night Star.
Trantors note:
I just had a 15 minute trip on the inte trying to figure out an urate trantion for this move cause Annihtion Heavenly Rakshasa me sounded just too simple to be right, but nope, this is it.
