Ray of Judgment charged forward with reckless abandon. He needed to get to Azure Comet! If he could reach him, he would win!
Kyle chuckled with a smirk as he activated more Formation Arrays. During this battle, Kyle had used up the remainder of his Law Well. By now, the Wind Energy had almost completely vanished from the inside of the Planet, leaving a dense and unmoving pocket of air.
On top of that, he had also burned through an entire Grade Six Energy Stone, trying to keep Ray of Judgment at bay.
He was wasting a ton of money, but to him, this was not a waste.
It felt so satisfying to mess with this arrogant prick. The emotional payoff was definitely worth the monetary cost.
As the new Formation Array activated, Ray of Judgment suddenly found the distance between him and his target increasing severalfold. He had been so close, but now, he was so far away!
The Space Expansion Formation Array deactivated after burning through 20 Grade Five Energy Stones, and the Space Compression Formation Array replaced it, pulling the surrounding space between the two of them to fill the void.
Ray of Judgment was at the edge of the Formation Arrays again, but he kept charging forward with gritted teeth under the sound of Kyle's laughter.
"Let's go again!" Kyle transmitted.
A wall of metal appeared around Ray of Judgment again before storms of spears shot towards him.
The wall broke, and the spears around Ray of Judgment exploded once more. His Energy Storage dropped further.
Then, the metallic balls appeared again, but Ray of Judgment didn't stop.
One explosion and laser after the other appeared, injuring Ray of Judgment.
His Energy Storage had dropped by over 60%, and his Biological Energy had also dropped by 50%.
However, he knew that Azure Comet must have gone through an insane number of Energy Stones to support his Formation Arrays. Ray of Judgment knew that Azure Comet was rich, but such an insane consumption of Energy Stones would even drain Dawnlight's liquid funds.
By Ray of Judgment's estimate, Azure Comet must have gone through over five Grade Six Energy Stones. Most likely, he had gone through almost ten!
He knew that Azure Comet would be dirt poor after his death, but that didn't matter. Right now, Ray of Judgment just wanted to kill Azure Comet more than anything.
'I only have 1.5 Grade Six Energy Stones left,' Kyle thought. 'Activating my Formation Arrays again would consume all of my money. Is it really worth it? '
When Kyle saw Ray of Judgment's face, distorted by rage, he couldn't suppress a smile.
The Space Expansion and Space Compression Formation Arrays activated again, and Kyle broke into laughter.
Yes, it was worth it.
Ray of Judgment's Energy became chaotic as he found himself outside of the Formation Arrays again. His eyes were torn open. His teeth were turning into cracked pieces. His veins bulged.
"RAAAAAAAAAAH!" he shouted in pure hatred as his speed increased further.
A 5% increase in speed in exchange for tripling his Energy consumption.
BANG!
Ray of Judgment burst through the walls of metal, his bones breaking and mending.
He swatted all the exploding spears to the side, his arms deteriorating and recovering.
He charged through the metallic balls, his entire body turning into a blackened husk.
His Energy Storage was at 10%. His Biological Energy was at 20%.
The smart choice was to retreat, recover, and attack again. His Biological Energy and the Energy in his Center could be recovered in a matter of seconds, while Azure Comet's Energy Stones couldn't be recovered.
But he didn't care. He was right there! Azure Comet was right there! Just a bit more!
He had to kill him!
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
Ray of Judgment didn't notice that the space around him didn't expand or compress anymore.
He had never gotten that far before!
400 kilometers!
300 kilometers!
200 kilometers!
100 kilometers!
50!
20!
WHOOOM!
The world around Ray of Judgment transformed. All the Energy in the surroundings bowed to Kyle's will as he activated his Momentum and his Complex Mind Law.
Ray of Judgment barely perceived some form of extreme external pressure through his chaotic mind, but he couldn't understand or care.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
A hammer appeared in Azure Comet's hands as he took a huge and heavy step backward.
BOOOM!
The metallic sheet around Kyle's Planet broke, opening a gap between the less-dense air and the outside world. The trapped air broke out like a storm as the Planet imploded.
The storm pushed Kyle towards Ray of Judgment.
The azure armor around Kyle vanished, revealing his body.
Almost 50% of Kyle's Energy entered his hammer as he activated his newly improved Law of Hammer.
Space around Kyle distorted as his body swung forward like a hammer.
A moment of clarity returned to Ray of Judgment's mind as he recognized the person and the hammer in front of him. Descending Mountain!
Azure Comet was Descending Mountain!
The two people who had ruined his life and plans were the same person!
"DIIIIIE!" Ray of Judgment screeched as he dumped all of his life and Energy into his sword before slashing forward.
Kyle's entire body bulged as he swung his hammer with all of his might.
"RAAAAAH!"
The hammer and the sword met.
BOOOOOOM!
The surroundings exploded, turning into a world of chaotic, intense Energies.
CRACK!
Ray of Judgment's sword and arm broke into pieces.
Kyle's entire body shook, but his hammer remained in one piece.
The impact pushed both of them apart.
'No!' Kyle thought with gritted teeth as he dumped a ton of Energy into his Fragment of Spatial Stasis. His body stopped almost instantly, and he extended his left arm towards Ray of Judgment, who was still in the process of being flung away.
Kyle dumped a ton of Energy into Space Compression.
Suddenly, the two combatants were directly in front of each other.
Feeling the drain of his Energy and Biological Energy, Ray of Judgment's mind lost all of its hatred and rage.
Survival!
He had to survive!
Then he saw his enemy right in front of him, Kyle's right arm moving rapidly towards him.
Ray of Judgment created a defense with his Complex-
Nothing.
He was out of Energy!
He had used everything in the last strike!
Ray of Judgment's healthy arm moved forward in a desperate attempt to stop Kyle's attack.
CRKSH!
Kyle's right arm tore through Ray of Judgment's healthy arm like a bullet tore through a fly.
Ray of Judgment didn't have a Complex Body Law. Almost all of his Laws were integrated into his External Complex Law.
In horror, Ray of Judgment watched as Kyle's claw-shaped hand grew metallic nails.
And then…
CRKSH!
Kyle's right hand tore into Ray of Judgment's chest, took hold of his Center, and tore it out again.
Ray of Judgment looked in horror at the hole in his chest.
Kyle threw Ray of Judgment's Center into his mouth and moved it towards his molars.
CRK!
As Ray of Judgment heard the sound of his broken Center, he felt the world around him distorting.
All his senses became disoriented.
And then, everything went black.
BOOOOM!
Kyle grinned as a mountain of wealth exploded out of Ray of Judgment's Soul Space.
Ray of Judgment was dead.
