EX-Grade Ability Card: Tower Ascension with My Absolute Restoration
Chapter 113: Exchange
"Hahaha… interesting… truly… interesting…" as the Twisted Principality of Permanence starts getting used to the punches being thrown by its opponent, it proclaims in a genuinely amazed tone as its eyes looks towards the white-haired human, his features now turned into a mixture of both a demonic and draconic species, yet even then, it could still sense the true nature of this young man being that of a human.
It isn't what it is truly interested in though, but rather, the fact that the young man can keep up with its attacks that is supposed to be extremely sinister with its main hits being hidden underneath a massive amount of perfectly placed decoys something that is meant to draw its opponent in before it launches the devastating, match deciding it has loaded in its chamber.
Before it can even do so though, it stops as it felt like its own world is disoriented for a few moments, only realizing what had happened as it felt its jaw being completely dislocated by a single hit, and another hit making it so that its chest is totally caved in as if a massive hammer hit it.
"Hahaha!!!" instead of feeling angry for having its face completely bashed in, with its lower jaw hanging as if it is about to fall any second now, the Twisted Principality instead forces his own flesh to connect once more, letting out a mixture of both amused and excited laughter as it eyes its opponent with even more vigor than before.
"You know, I used to be a supporter of the absolute idea of the strong helping the weak, not as a privilege but rather as a duty…" the Twisted Principality starts talking about itself as it once again rushes towards the young man in front of it, the two of them resuming their fist fight, or rather war, as both of them formulate strategies in order to draw each other out to disadvantageous positions, the two of them still having that same excited smile as they fought each other.
"Well, that was before I fell from the grace of the divines, hahaha… not only was I mocked as a false enlightened but I was also cast out from the very pantheon from where my belief comes from… what an absolute joke of a life, AHAHAH!!!"
The principality then starts laughing once more as its strength starts surpassing its previous one more and more, and yet even then, the young man once again successfully manages to slip yet another devastating blow that made it spit out a massive amount of crimson blood.
Feeling a powerful fist on its own torso, just barely a few more times stronger than what is needed to pierce through his body, the principality smiles even more as it raises its fist once again, this time, its guard far more stable and solid than before, making Azrael frown as he once again starts forming a sequence of attack that will make this monster drop its guard once more.
"This… is fun…" the Twisted Principality of Permanence said in a genuine tone as it sends in yet another punch, this time something peculiar about it as the young man felt like each of his opponent's punch starts having lesser and lesser presence than the previous one, until it completely turns undetectable even with his heightened senses.
And due to this fact, the Twisted Principality starts equaling the battlefield with this skill, making it so that the longer time passes, the harder it is for Azrael to detect where the attacks are coming from.
"That is quite the nasty skill you got there…" feeling extremely frustrated as he got hit by the Twisted Principality's attacks for multiple times now, the young man complained with an annoyed tone in his voice making the principality cackle in laughter as it also agrees with the young man's claims.
"Indeed, it is, this skill makes it so that every single attack of mine being dodged makes it so that the presence of the next attack is two percent lower than the original, so… yeah, if you miss fifty attacks in a row, the next one is something that completely has no presence in the world, and you will only know of it once you got hit by it."
The Twisted Principality of Permanence starts explaining with quite the fervor in his tone while still continuing the exchange with the young man, the young man he is talking to not only nodding at his words from time to time, but also talented enough to fight against him, ask him of questions and answer his questions all at the same time.
"That's quite the neat skill then, want to check out something of mine that shares some semblance with that invisible attack?" the young man asked, making the eyes of the Twisted Principality gleam in interest as it once again lets out a peal of amused laughter before it replies.
"That's quite the interesting proposition you got there, boy, but fine then, go ahead and try your hidden attack, I won't stop you!!" the Twisted Principality then nodded in agreement as it enters a defensive stance, making sure that whatever comes his way, he can parry or defend himself against.
Smiling as he watches the monster agree with his suggestion, the young man couldn't help but feel quite relieved as he knows just the attack to catch this monster off guard.
[Slashing the Void (A-Rank Unique Active)]
[With the mind as the sole need to sever the very space itself, unleash a massive wave of attack intangible to the naked eye, can only be felt but never be seen, the sole display of its might only observed once this attack hit anything in its path.]
[Effects: Relying on the mental prowess of the ascender, unleashes an attack that severs the void itself, an attack that can never be seen no matter how high someone's strength is, however, it can still be felt to a certain degree, destroy everything under the ascender's strength that comes in contact to its trajectory.]
[Note: this skill can further be improved with the improvement of the ascender's mastery, allowing the ascender to conceal the attack even deeper so that even far stronger beings can fail in detecting it.]
