Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 49: Real and Fake, Part 2
Vermyna—whose body was clad in life energy—avoid Fie's blow carefully. Although he had excelled everything from the nephalem, Fie's physical strength was the only exception. Her body was so tough that Vermyna had trouble getting her hurt. If not for the [Eternal Body] that made Vermyna's body impossible to destroy, he might have received severe injuries despite dominating the fight.
[Complete Sensory] is very useful in close combat like this. When Fie does not use [Anti Magic], he can avoid his blows effectively and efficiently— no matter how aggressive the nephalem attacks. However, the situation would be different when [Anti Magic] was used. Vermyna would be forced to block every attack that came.
Vermyna grimaced slightly as she blocked Fie's punch that was flashed onto her face. This brat..what did he eat to this much energy? Murmuring Vermyna while using the Infinity aspect of her [Limit Breaker], made Fie's streak never reach her body. Although their distance is close, but the aspect of Infinity makes the distance as if unattainable.
“Cih, you have a shitty ability!” fie's complaint was a little frustrated by not being able to reach Vermyna even though she was right in front of him.
Vermyna responded to the nephalem's complaint by creating a thousand doppelgangers from different times. Although they would all vanish after being hit by one or two vital attacks, they could do everything they could (on a limited scale).
“Little children should not complain when adults give themselves a lesson,” Vermyna said in a mocking tone. “You should too if you want to grow big.”
Vermyna could not help but laugh when she saw the change in reaction on Fie's face. Oh, how happy Vermyna is because her real body is an adult body. If he was still inside Vermyna Hermythys, he would not be able to mock Fie like this. It felt like a relief, especially when remembering his defeat first. This is a satisfying revenge.
While her thousand doppelgangers were attacking the enraged Fie, Vermyna teleported to a nearby mountain peak.
Not for any reason, he needed to prepare himself to use Nizivia's Assassin Art. The girl's body had already become a blood clot in her body; her soul had also vanished she swallowed a moment after getting her body back. Therefore, Vermyna could not use the power of Nizivia as easily as Nizivia – her body was not trained for it. It requires preparation.
The Concentrated Engulfing Silence.
That was the technique Vermyna would use this time. Because, in his arsenal there is nothing he can use to destroy Fie. [Eternal Body] only made his body immortal, while [Limit Breaker] only gave him four abilities: Unification, Infinity, Endless, and Boundless—and none of the four had any offensive abilities. Meanwhile, magic becomes useless when in the presence of four-dimensional beings like them.
At the very minimum, other than relying on physical strength and life energy, he needed two offensive-type Supreme Magic to be able to inflict injuries on a four-dimensional being. He did not know how Fie could use [Celestial White Flame] and [Complete Annihilation]. Perhaps he had the ability to produce magic. Clearly, Vermyna did not have any offensive-type Supreme Magic.
Therefore, Vermyna needed the Concentrated Engulfing Silence to be able to destroy the opponent. Indeed, even without his spectacular offensive power, he would win as well. His body is indestructible; fie can't kill him. However, this will be a – long fight depending on how long Fie is able to continue fighting. A week, a month, even a year. Vermyna wouldn't be surprised if Fie could outlast him.
Upset as the number of doppelgangers continued to grow and increase, Fie condensed the two Supreme Magic energies in both of his hands into a plasma-like gray flame. That's not all. Fie also superimposed the gray flames with a sheath of [Anti Magic]. Then the fire he put in all directions in the form of fire arrows numbering in the millions.
None of the doppelgangers could protect themselves from the brunt of the super fire arrows. Each gray plasma fire arrow successfully obliterated a single doppelganger. However, one million is very little when compared to hundreds of millions. The invisible doppelgangers were reduced; they were still trash in all directions, shrouding Fie like ants in the presence of sugar.
Fie again blasted a million arrows of gray plasma flames. And then a million more. And another million. And another million. And again….
Overly focused on finishing off the doppelgangers made Fie ignore the defense for a moment. It was used by the doppelgangers to attack. One of them managed to hit Fie right on top of his head, while the other two managed to hit both cheeks of Fie simultaneously. Meanwhile, another doppelganger managed to infiltrate the bottom of the nephalem and land a foot between the legs of Fie.
“Ups! It seems to me that something stands out, are you really a man? Deserve your chest flat like a plywood.”
All the control that was within Fie faded away imprintlessly, his anger peaking. His burrowing cry echoed across the dimensional space. The gray plasma flame was oozing out so smoulderingly, it spread out and obliterated anything like the ripples of water in the middle of the ocean. And when Fie's shout subsided, there was no more doppelganger left.
Not only that, the super-wide arena upon which many mountains stood also vanished. Not just one, but dozens. Even the debris of the arena no longer exists. Only empty space was left, putting aside the air and energy mixed together to fill the space. More than that, now Fie's body was clad in plasma gray flames like armor. He had blended both Supreme Magic with [Anti Magic] perfectly.
“I will never forgive you.”
Vermyna— who is now in a state of drifting—chuckles to hear the words of the nephalem. It was a pity that he had no memory of the doppelgangers, so he did not feel the sensation of kicking between Fie's legs. Of course he knew that his doppelganger had deliberately said that to make fun of Fie, but what if the doppelganger was right? What if Fie was hiding something that stood out behind her clothes?
Vermyna couldn't help but laugh at the thought of it all. He was so full that he held his own stomach. Even his eyes water. If now Vermyna was standing on the ground, perhaps she had already rolled around. Who could withstand such a tickling thing?
“Bangsatt! Bastardamn! Ancient creature hogg! I'm finishing you!”
…Fie did not receive such depraved treatment. Although she did not know what Vermyna was thinking until it made her crumble, her pride as a woman felt torn to shreds. He attacked the vampire queen like a mad lion.
