" Yes, I'm ready " Max said as the moment those words escaped his lips he found himself teleported into his soul space.
Max found his projection standing right beside his soul vessel as he noticed the bright green soul within the vessel burning several times brighter than his last visit inside this space.
" We will fight 3 rounds. If you win all three rounds of our duel, you will become the ultimate winner and shall receive the ultimate price the dungeon has to offer.
If you win two, your life will be spared but you shall win no reward.
If you win none, I will claim your soul this very round.
Each round will be progressively more difficult and for you to win, you only need to land one single attack on me " Seraphiel said as Max got into fighting position to accept that challenge.
He had a pleasant experience fighting inside his soul space.
Every move seemed to be enhanced to perfection within this space and the closer the opponent got to his soul vessel the greater the debuff they seemed to face.
Although he couldn't be sure as to how a soulmancer would behave within the soul space, he had some confidence in at least landing a blow on his opponent.
" Very well, let's start " Max said with a confident smile on his face as he clapped his palms and used his favourite move.
[ Primal Domain ]
Instantly a large domain expanded within his soul space, expanding for nearly two hundred metres within the four dimensional space and easily enveloping Seraphiel within.
[ Gravity Crush ]
Max said as he tried to increase the restrictions on Seraphiels body by increasing the strength of gravity that applied on her.
Max increased the gravity by 200X before bombarding Seraphiel with a constant stream of wind attacks enhanced with time acceleration.
[ Eternal Despair ]
Seraphiel said as he effortlessly tipped his staff a few degrees forward despite the restriction of gravity.
Instantly, Max's primal domain was dissipated as Max's vision became foggy and he was unable to understand what just happened.
A quick look at his status panel showed that Primal Domain had turned from black to grey which meant it was unavailable for him to use anymore, as Max felt his heart jump into his mouth.
His opponent had just casually disabled his strongest move like it was nothing! And Max had no idea what to do about it.
Just what sort of a fight had he gotten himself into?
************
( Meanwhile Dracula )
Dracula hummed a happy tune as he gazed towards the cosmic sky with a smile on his face.
A thousand kilometres away, an army of 100 million strong in over 700 destroyer class battleships were preparing to fire planetary destructive beams towards Ixtal after being given explicit instructions by Beniogre to not get too close to the planet and engage from a distance even though it meant that the effective power of the attack would be significantly reduced.
300 tier6 god's hovered above the planet's atmosphere, their sights locked on Dracula as they gathered divine essence to unleash long range holy attacks, directed at one man.
Yet despite facing what was a certain doom for even monarch level beings, Dracula did not run or show any signs of nervousness.
Cracking his neck, he looked away from the assembled gods, in a direction that neither encompassened them nor the ships, as he stared at someone else, much further away into the cosmos.
The individual he stared at was Beniogre, the bitch that had conned him for the seed of life years ago, and Beniogre stared right back into him with a frown on her face that said ' She was disgusted to see him alive '
Dracula chuckled at this expression, as he gave her an ugly flying kiss before pointing towards the sky, towards Ixtal's moon which was tidally locked against its sun and the reason behind the planet always having a red hue.
It was the symbol of Luna, the progenitor of the Nightblade clan, the proof of the unholy union between Dracula and Beniogre, as with Beniogre witnessing Dracula said with a smile
[ Divine Move : Planetary Devastation ]
In what seemed like an impossible feat, at that moment Ixtal's moon, a celestial body, burst into a million small pieces and released a blinding amount of heat and energy that created as bright of a flashbang as a supernova.
Everyone was blinded for a moment!
The ships that were stationed a thousand kilometres away, the god's that hovered closer to the atmosphere.
Everyone lost vision for a good 10 seconds, as the ship's equipment began to malfunction from the shock-wave of the explosion.
When, the blinding light finally dimmed and vision returned, the last sight that the 100 million paladins saw before their demise was a shit-ton of spatial debris headed towards their ship, as despite them activating their shields, against the endless barrage of space rocks the size of entire islands, coming towards them at unbelievable speeds, the shields could not do much and the entire fleet were wiped out within seconds.
In a boss move like no other, Dracula bathed in sunlight with a bright smile as for the first time since the modern vampires were born, Ixtal saw sunlight again.
His skin sizzled and his HP dropped rapidly as it seemed like the curse of the primordial vampires that affected their strength under sunlight applied to their very progenitor, however, before the sun could harm him for too long, Dracula turned to look at the 300 god's hovering over his planet and said
[ Divine Move : Solar Devastation ]
At this point Beniogre stopped looking towards Ixtal. The outcome of this battle had already been decided and it was more brutal than she could ever hope for.
Helios and Luna, they were the two kids that were born from their unholy union.
And although Dracula used the sun and moon of Ixtal to defeat his opponents, it was also a direct message for her that he knew that she was watching and this was a show he designed specially for her.
One thing was clear to Beniogre after this event and that was the fact that Dracula had no sympathy for her.
He was coming for her life for the betrayal she did to him years ago, and there was nothing she could do to stop him.
