Sandstorm Corruption broke another wall and looked past the fragments. She still saw her friends attacking the walls.
She looked to her left and saw the part of the wall that Eyes of Clarity had attacked collapse.
'Everything is going well. Too well, in fact. If this continues, Azure Comet will run out of Energy Stones. I expected this to be easy, but I didn't expect it to be this easy.'
'I'm having a bad feeling about this.'
Meanwhile, Eyes of Clarity and Combusting Steam hastily readied several attacks.
A Legendary Crusher!
Azure Comet had to be a Legendary Crusher! The pressure he exuded on his surroundings and the sheer amount of Energy he commanded couldn't be explained otherwise!
'By the Emperor, I wanted to fight, yes, but I didn't want to fight a Legendary Crusher!' Combusting Steam thought in terror. 'I didn't expect a true battle when I accepted this job! Can we even win?!'
While Combusting Steam was uncertain about how to proceed, Eyes of Clarity gritted her teeth. 'If we flee now, we will lose all of our Momentum! We have to fight!'
The enemy's speed increased even further while his movements changed. Instead of charging straight ahead, he was moving in an arc.
The enemy's speed once more confirmed his Realm. He had to be a Legendary Crusher!
Eyes of Clarity decided to go all out! Fighting conservatively would only lead to their deaths.
An instant later, seven more bows appeared around Eyes of Clarity. Shadowy figures appeared behind every bow, pulling their strings back. Arrows made of light appeared on the bows, and the shadowy figures pointed the arrows at the enemy.
Combusting Steam saw that Eyes of Clarity got serious, and her indecisiveness vanished. 'Fine, let's give it our all!' she thought.
A huge chunk of Combusting Steam's Energy left her Center, materializing as sixteen red ice spires. The ice spires assumed a certain formation, pulling the Energy in the surroundings towards the formation's center.
"Go!" Combusting Steam transmitted as the Energy in the center of the formation exploded forward.
The next moment, a stream of crackling steam shot towards the enemy. This was Combusting Steam's strongest attack, and it was also the reason for her title.
The stream of steam locked onto the enemy as he tried to evade to the side. If anything touched the steam, all the heat would be transformed into tiny clusters of ice, which would detonate. Even a Legendary Crusher would die when hit by the stream of steam.
The eight bows from Eyes of Clarity kept targeting the enemy, but they didn't fire. They would wait until Azure Comet showed his hand.
Azure Comet moved further to the side, but the steam just kept following him. If he didn't do anything about it, he would die.
Azure Comet shot a small ball of azure flames at the stream. Several icy crystals appeared inside the stream, and the azure flames froze before breaking into pieces.
The stream only vibrated a bit. It hadn't stopped for even an instant.
Just when the stream was about to reach Azure Comet, something happened. The space around the sixteen ice spires distorted, changing their positions.
Combusting Steam narrowed her eyes as she forced the ice spires to return to their position.
Yet, for that short moment, the stream lost its tracking nature, and Azure Comet barely managed to move past it.
However, Combusting Steam quickly adapted and moved the entire stream to the side. After all, it was a stream, not a cloud or bullet. This time, she would force her ice spires to stay in place, no matter how much space distorted.
The stream of steam veered towards Azure Comet, but before it could hit him, Combusting Steam felt a terrifying feeling of mortal danger.
At the same time, an azure hammer appeared in front of her. When she saw the azure hammer, she immediately realized what it was.
An Imposing Law, and not a weak one!
A Legendary Crusher with an Imposing Law!
In her panic, Combusting Steam commanded all of her ice spires to attack the azure hammer.
Meanwhile, Eyes of Clarity realized that her opportunity had arrived and unleashed her arrows.
When Kyle saw Eyes of Clarity unleash her arrows, he gritted his teeth.
Her timing had been perfect!
Kyle knew that, if he came into contact with the steam, he would die. Its tracking nature caused quite some problems for him. He had even been forced to use his illusory hammer, which consumed an insane amount of Energy.
He had planned to move to the side and continue his charge, but Eyes of Clarity had unleashed her arrows at the worst possible moment.
According to his plan, the illusory hammer would destroy the formation of ice spires, which would deactivate the steam's homing nature, giving him an opportunity to get closer.
But now, the arrows blocked all of his paths. All of these attacks were launched by Unique Crushers, using Level Five Complex Laws. Getting hit by any of these attacks meant death.
At that moment, Kyle expanded space again at a tremendous cost of Energy, but the arrows simply adapted to the expanded space. They were gravitationally linked! If space expanded, they would pull together to retain their formation. If space constricted, they would spread to retain their formation.
'Now or never!' Kyle thought, his mind going wild.
BANG!
The illusory hammer was destroyed by the ice spires, but the ice spires also broke into pieces.
The stream of steam kept flying towards Azure Comet, but if he moved to the side, it would move past him.
The arrows arced, pointing at the space around Azure Comet. If he didn't move, they would continue arcing until they hit him. If he moved, one or two of the arrows would hit him.
It was impossible to avoid the attack. Azure Comet could only block. Yet, he didn't have the power to block such an attack.
Eyes of Clarity focused on Azure Comet, watching as her arrows got closer to him.
At that moment, Azure Comet summoned some kind of sphere. It was small and metallic, but it was surrounded by a terrifying storm of fire. However, the appearance of the sphere didn't matter. He wouldn't be able to block all of the attacks.
As the arrows approached, the fiery sphere changed and transformed. The fiery storm became stronger before it became weaker. It went into the sphere before leaving again.
The sphere warped and distorted, seemingly on the edge of destruction.
And then…
BANG!
The metallic sphere exploded, the fragments scattering.
The explosion dispersed the fiery storm into the surroundings as well.
Failure.
But at that moment, Kyle's eyes widened in realization.
'No, this is not a failure!'
'It's supposed to be like this!'
The next moment, all the fragments pulled together. The Gravity Energy inside them multiplied as their density and hardness reduced.
CRK! CRK! CRK!
The fragments contracted more and more, turning into a shrinking sphere. One would think that the density of the sphere would increase as it lost volume, but that wasn't the case. Its density and mass lowered as it compressed more.
It kept shrinking until…
BOOOOOM!
Space, time, and gravity broke as a hole appeared in reality.
Eyes of Clarity saw a black sphere hovering in front of Azure Comet. The storm of fire, which had been dispersed earlier, had reappeared around the black sphere.
She had never seen anything like this.
However, while people in the Supreme World might not be familiar with this cosmic phenomenon, almost all people on Earth knew about it.
A black hole.
The Fire Energy and the Wind Energy created the rapidly moving storm of fire around the black hole, the accretion disk.
The Metal Energy created the massive core.
However, all of these Energies just barely existed since the majority of their power had been converted into Gravity Energy.
Gravity Wind Energy consisted of Gravity Energy and Wind Energy. By knowing the Law of Gravity Wind, Kyle could convert almost all of the Gravity Energy into Wind Energy and vice versa.
While creating his Complex Law, Kyle converted almost all of the Elemental Energies into Gravity Energy.
This had been quite difficult to pull off, but thanks to Death and the difficult fight, Kyle finally managed to create his External Level Five Complex Law.
The Law of Black Hole.
