The bond between Lith and War had protected the Abomination from the blade and the blade from the Chaos that was now harmlessly coating it.
Lith had never learned how to safely wave Chaos spells but he had discovered a few things back in Urgamakka during his battle against Vareen.
His body was partly made of Chaos and once extracted, he only needed Domination to weave it into any form he wanted. The black droplets on the surface of the blade grew in size and power as Lith's black eye lit with purple mana.
Jormun saw the barrage of tier four Chaos spells, Howling Void, and hurled the Origin Flames as fast as he could. The black spears were as thick as a small tree and as fast as a bullet, piercing through the wall of mystical fire like it was paper.
They lost part of their power, but they still struck with enough force to lift Jormun off the ground. Regular Adamant equipment would have been turned into Swiss cheese but the Kingslayer armor was comprised of tons of compressed metal.
Between the hardness of the purified Adamant and the Spirit Barrier imbued in it, the armor held. Several centimeters-deep dents formed on its surface, making Jormun kneel to the ground while coughing out blood.
The two men stared at each other with respect, the fight was probably the hardest they had ever had. Not just because of the power of the opponent, but because neither of them had any killing intent toward the other.
There was no grudge between them nor any ill feelings.
They were both fighting to protect their family and the people they loved. Every time they looked at each other, they saw their own determination shining in the opponent's eyes, refusing to back down.
Jormun, Lith, and everyone else in the room could see that they were one the distorted mirror image of the other.
The emerald aura of the Dragon rose as he took another deep breath just like the black aura of the Abomination burst forward as he prepared another volley of Chaos spells.
They were both violet cored Awakened so with every move they made and with every beat of their cores they weaved one spell after the other.
'Order and Chaos, Leegaain, what have you done?' Kalla knew how important her role was, especially now that the repeated destruction of Hystar's body had sped up the Eyes' scan again.
Yet she couldn't help but turn around from time to time. All the fights taking place in the Headmaster's office were equally savage but the one between Jormun and Lith reminded her of the conflicting primordial forces.
The elements of creations backed the Emerald Dragon while those of destruction empowered Lith's every move. If one incarnated life the other was the embodiment of death.
'I would love to add another element to Chaos and try tier five spells, but I can't afford the risk. Not now!' Lith could feel Solus' pain through their bond and knew that it was only a matter of time before the Annihilation ran dry.
An emerald construct intercepted the black spears, using its light element to revert Chaos into darkness and then fight it with its own.
