Noticing the fact that the petrifying effect of whatever skill the Twisted Principality has now only having barely any effects on him, Azrael felt like using his Demonic Energy this way is far more efficient than he expected, the only thing that makes it a problem it the fact that currently, he is expending over tens of thousands of units of Demonic Energy just to make it so that he can withstand this monster's terrifying petrifying effects.

This makes it so that he is consuming not only his Demonic Energy, but also his Immortal Energy in the process, the ten thousand times amplification of his combat power brought about by consuming such massive amount of Demonic Energy and pushing his body way beyond its current limit something that he can only hold for about two minutes or so, and even then, the expense on his Immortal Energy will already measure by the thousands, not even including his expenses when he needs to accelerate his regeneration through his Absolute Regeneration ability.

Gritting his teeth in pain as blood flows from all of his orifices withstanding both the pressure of the massive amount of Demonic Energy within his body and the Twisted Principality's peculiar petrifying skill coming from the outside, the young man then clenches his fist in both fury and hurry as he is well aware that he should end this fight as quickly as he could, or else he risks wasting all this time.

This is due to the fact that not only does this monster feels far stronger than anything he had faced before in the second floor it is also due to the fact that not only is his Immortal Energy and Demonic Energy, his main arsenal fighting against this monster, is totally limited, even more so is the time he has keeping up this extremely powerful state he is in right now.

'It's such a pity that I can no longer use any other enhancement skill in this state…' he thought to himself as he looks at the multiple azure floating screens popping in front of him, not due to notifications or other things but rather due to something that it had done for the first time, warning him of the danger such risky move he is currently using holds.

[It is detected that the ascender's current strength exceeds way past the limit of what any ascender of the same floor can handle, current strength measured to be then thousand times stronger than the base limit of the second floor.]

[Warning, maintaining such state in a prolonged period of time might result to catastrophic damage in the body of the ascender, it is well recommended that the ascender either finish their business for using such method as fast as they can, and if it is not possible, immediately stop using the method altogether.]

Reading the warnings in front of him, Azrael shakes his head as he is well aware that different from the multitudes of attempts that he got when fighting against the Fortress Golem, this is the only shot he got to triumph over the Twisted Principality, something that he never expected he would thought about given the absurdity of his Absolute Regeneration ability.

Not this time though, as not only does this monster completely petrifies the body of the opponent that enters within its territory, its petrifying power also seems to posses the ability to petrify the very mind, or rather, soul of the target it has, something that Azrael is well aware of as he also felt immense muddle-headedness the moment he got hit by the petrifying skill.

Had it not been for this fact, this skill or ability or technique wouldn't be the perfect counter against the young man's Absolute Regeneration ability, the fact that he needs to maintain consciousness and directly control and influence any regeneration that requires half of his major organ a problem that makes it so that the Twisted Principality's petrification is extremely effective against him.

Sure, he can leave a drop of blood or even possibly half of his body outside and use it to escape and recover should his body starts turning into stone, but the major problem is even with the acceleration of Immortal Energy improving his recovery, the speed in which the Twisted Principality petrifies far outruns his regeneration.

"There's no use thinking too much about it right now, there's no need to worry about being turned into stone if I can defeat you bastard within the time frame of this form…" the young man then smiles as an intimidating air starts forming around him, making even the once immensely powerful Twisted Principality of Permanence feel quite the danger from him.

As it notices itself taking a single step back looking with quite the shock towards the young man, the Twisted Principality clenches its own fist as it drives it towards the young man's chest, Azrael seemingly anticipating it as well as his hand already balled into a fist meets the attack coming for his life.

With speed far surpassing what anyone in the second floor can even begin to comprehend, the two of them starts trading precise, lethal blows aimed to take the lives of each other with a single hit, a high stakes exchange with the two of them risking their own lives on the line to finish their opponent as fast as they possibly can.

With the flashes of bright, near shadow-like punches continues to rush towards each other, both Azrael and the Twisted Principality couldn't help but reveal an entertained smiles on their faces as they had never experienced such a fight in their lives, the perfect exchange of their punches making it so that each and every single one of their attacks never succeed in moving past their opponents' defenses.

And yet, the two of them feels completely satisfied as it seems like rather than just fighting with brute force, the two of them are engaged in a massive war with the two of them being the generals of opposing sides, using tactics and stratagems to draw the other's weakness out.
