Chapter 1961 - White Griffon (Part 1)
The white crystal on the Absolution turned black as Ruination filled the hammer with Chaos energy. The enchantment split the light from the darkness, releasing the Decay produced in the form of silvery shockwaves that spread throughout the battlefield.
The eight copies of the Bytra's hammer pulsed in unison, using the Decay to weaken the enemy lines before striking at them with the full power of a Chaos spell.
Now that the Call of the Void had faded, however, the Awakened saw the incoming attack and managed to raise the Bastion in time. The hammers bounced off the mystical shield without even cracking them.
The Chaos was suddenly dispersed and with it the mana coursing through the Absolutions that merged into one before falling onto the ground.
The Raiju snarled and recalled the hammer to her hand.
"Please, I don't want to fight." Theseus said while dodging multiple attacks and refusing to fight back. "Stand down and I promise you that we'll leave peacefully."
The answer came in the form of seven tier five Spirit spells that blew him to smithereens, leaving only his feet intact. Which was more than enough for his Meneos side.
The world energy flooded the fuming extremities along with nutrients and countless vines sprouted from them. They collected every single bit of the scattered body, rebuilding it from scratch before the dust cloud caused by the spells could even settle.
"I gave you a choice and you chose death." The Bastet said as he shapeshifted into a 30 meters (100') tall humanoid titan. "I won't hold back anymore." freēwēbnovel.com
Seven more Spirit Spell struck while he was still healing, yet they didn't leave a single scratch on Theseus. The earth element of the world energy mixed with the Bastet's life force, bestowing upon him the Mana Body bloodline ability.
The elemental flow of the world energy flooded him and countered the Spirit Magic. A regular Divine Beast would have consumed a consistent amount of life force to neutralized so many powerful spells but Theseus was different.
His Meneos side naturally drained the surrounding world energy while also healing his life force, making the bloodline ability have no cost for him. A flick of his wrist and the space tore apart as if a giant finger had slashed through it.
The Bastet jumped inside the rift that immediately closed behind him. The Awakened prepared a Silverwing Annihilation while looking around for the exit point of the dimensional opening but found none.
'Has he run away?' One of them asked via the mind link.
The rules of dimensional magic were simple. One exit point and one entry point were formed at the same time. Life Vision was supposed to spot them both unless one of them was too far away, like it happened for a Warp Steps.
Ripple and Tear, however, worked differently.
The Bastet's tier five dimensional spell created one entry point and a dimensional pocket where the user could hide. Unlike normal dimensional areas, time inside the pocket flowed normally.
New tears appeared in the space and the Awakened had no way to know from which one Theseus would come out and which of them were just decoys. Tier four Chaos spells, Howling Void emerged from all of them, catching the Awakened by surprise.
The Chaos element was too quick to conjure a barrier and make short work of their armor. The lucky ones managed to partly dodge and only lost a limb while the others died on the spot.
