Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 3: Nizivia, Vermyna, and the World Observer, part 1
Nizivia was sitting solemnly hearing her mother tell her a story when suddenly her body stiffened violently. The mother realized that, she asked why. However, the screams of those who broke apart the quiet of the night made that answer unnecessary. Nizivia quickly rushed to the bottom floor.
“Nizivia, no matter what happens, never get out of the basement!”
Nizivia could only nod weakly. He was still afraid of what he felt. The amount of mana he felt was so great, as if stifling it from afar. Where it is so dark ‒ Nizivia has never felt that dark mana.
Nizivia's eyes suddenly widened. The owner where big and dark was headed to his house. His mother was in front of his house, and his father was behind the owner of the dark mana, following him step by step. Nizivia felt her body tremble with her eyes widened and before noticing it, Nizivia had already stepped out of the basement.
Before long, Nizivia was already outside the house, her trembling right hand had grasped a knife that she had snatched away from the kitchen.
“Oya, poor little girl, you want to save these two useless people?”
...———...
The memory evaporates quickly. Nizivia's eyes opened, looking intensely at the only island floating far away. It fell not just over the island, but tens of kilometers from it. Nizivia thought she had to swim to reach the island, but to her surprise she did not sink into the water. Nizivia legs really stand – it feels like he is on top of a super wide jelly.
“Nizivia ti-no will come to you,” muttered Nizivia flat, both hands raised up in a cross position—his body is spontaneously clad mana tempestuous. “Ve-Vermyna to come and lay down his life, Grand Advanced Far End!”
...———...
A pair of blood-red irises with vertical black pupils seemed to sparkle as the owner rose from the comfort of the throne. The grin suddenly flashed wide as the energy of the slash passed through his castle, making the roofs to fall and the walls seem to fall. However, quickly everything returned to its original state before the damage actually occurred. As if what had just happened was just a hallucination.
“Arogan once, eh? Instead of coming to me, you just ask me to come to you?”
Vermyna pitched her feet so elegantly ‒ in her understanding, no creature of higher status than her—all commonplace bowed themselves before her. He is the master of space, time, and what lies between them. Er, at least, it was his prime. Now.he is just a can when compared to Vermyna Hellvarossa.
“But, well, I consider that to be the kindness of myself.”
The space portal instantly manifested right after the mutter came out of his mouth. As soon as she entered it, Vermyna was immediately on the edge of the floating island. His pair of wings burst out, and a moment later he vanished at hypersonic speed.
...———...
Finally.the monster that became his nightmare appeared before Nizivia. Those eyes. That face. That expression. Same everything. Vermyna Hermythys.the creature for which she dedicates herself to being strong ended up being right within her reach. The thing that had always motivated him to force himself beyond the limits of his body had been apparent. Nizivia had even imagined it.Vermyna begged her for mercy.
“If you keep looking at me like that, I might be fascinated, you know.” Vermyna landed exactly a dozen meters in front of Nizivia. “No need to worry about other vampires. Even if you could kill me, themselves they wouldn't attack.”
Nizivia is not shy. Although the vampire spoke so, he was not in front of Nizivia. She did see him, but now Nizivia did not feel his presence. Nizivia only felt the magic energy that was trailing the vampire. That is, Vermyna is in another dimension. Although he attacked her blindly, Nizivia's attack would never hit her. It was like attacking Xavier when Xavier's body was untouchable.
“...Concentrated Engulfing Silence,” Oghed Nizivia as she stepped forward, instantly a pitch-gray aura wrapped around her body. “Nizivia will kill you.”
...———...
Vermyna spontaneously brought her right hand to her left neck, the cold sensation that her blood gave off felt so vividly on the skin. Vermyna looked silently at the blood on the right hand, before then his eyes shifted to Nizivia who was walking slowly. He did not see Nizivia swinging the dagger, ..Vermyna spontaneously jumped away.His neck has been fully regenerated.
Other than when facing Fie, she was the first one to make my blood drip.
Fie Axellibra.Vermyna can understand. He could not use the dimensions to protect himself. However, Nizivia..how can she—.
“—Ah, so apparently, it's life energy. Very impressive, Nizivia Clasta. Even I can't use it. Even Fie couldn't use it. …How many times have you been dying while learning how to use it?”
“...Le-More than enough to see you die!”
Nizivia disappeared along with her screams.
Vermyna did not wait twice to teleport, but Nizivia was already right behind her. He's fast, but his reaction is no faster than Lara—the body the World Observer once controlled. If it was the World Observer controlling Nizivia's body, Vermyna would have received at least two incisions.
Dozens of space distortions instantly surrounded them, Vermyna quickly reset her time and the space around her (other than Nizivia) to the moment before she teleported. Nizivia realizes that Vermyna is missing, but she cannot attack Vermyna in the past. He could not sense Vermyna in the past. What Nizivia felt was the irregularity of space and the scattering of magic energy.
At the same time, Vermyna in the past few seconds made both of her hands form a rectangular formation, and simultaneously manifested dimensional bubbles filling the air. Later, he brings himself and the environment around him to Nizivia's time perception.
...———...
It happens instantly. When space distortions appeared around her, Vermyna disappeared and magic energy scattered. Then, just as her eyes were done blinking, Nizivia had found herself being hit by a blackish purple laser. Of course he was not injured at all, Engulfing Silence was the strongest defense. However, the successive explosions that engulfed him produced a great pressure. Nizivia's trouble frees herself.
And, before he knew it, he was already inside a large dimensional cube.
“Try surviving this, Small Crunch!”
The dimensional cube instantly shrank sharply, exerting immense pressure on Nizivia's body. If it were not for the Concentrated Engulfing Silence, it would have vanished unceremoniously.
Unwilling to accept the greater pressure, Nizivia broke through the dimensional cube at her full speed.— making the dimension fail to explode and collapse on its own.
Nizivia is already in another dimension. And within this dimension, thousands of dimensional cubes filled it. And even more surprisingly, this dimension expands so rapidly, and the dimensions of the cube within it continue to multiply. Even at an astonishing speed, Nizivia failed to surpass the speed of expanding dimensions.
Nizivia spontaneously grinds her teeth. He was able to develop the Silence Engulfing so that the pressure caused by the explosion did not affect him. However, it would make his life energy drain faster. That's hazardous. Nizivia has only the life energy equivalent of 41 years and 111 days. Developing the Silence Engulfing will make the energy of his life reduced not in a matter of hours, but days.
“Ck, Nizivia ti-no choice. Ultimate Assassin Art: Concentrated Engulfing Silence: Expansion!”
