"It finally succeeded. It finally succeeded!" Eugene's heart swelled with ecstasy.
"I must kill him. I must kill him!" Ais's heart pounded madly.
The man wreathed in fierce flames and the girl enveloped in black wind.
Their mindsets were diametrically opposed at this moment.
But their fighting spirit had both reached the peak!
Ais gripped the Black Sand Sword in her hand, seemingly dissatisfied with its power.
She glanced back at the Amazon sisters, who were still in shock, and gestured with a raised hand.
The two sisters had never seen Ais in this state and were momentarily at a loss.
Fortunately, Tione was the first to react, throwing her long sword towards her.
"Ais! We'll help too!"
Tiona, seeing that she still retained some rationality, was about to step forward but was stopped.
"This is my fight."
"No one is allowed to interfere!!"
In her voice was buried a fierce emotion. The pure white blade in her hand was rapidly covered by the winding black wind.
"Is, is that really the Sword Princess?" Shakti's expression was grave.
Her current appearance was like a ferocious beast escaped from its cage.
Such an aura appearing on the pure, noble, angelic girl was truly unexpected.
"Tsk! That damned flame-breathing man!" Loki's veins pulsed on her forehead; she absolutely did not want to see Ais enter this state.
Killing intent, malevolence, hostility, countless traits contrary to a beautiful and serene girl, would all emerge at once, twisting Ais into a complete killing machine.
I don't want that to happen!
"Damn it! I should have dragged Finn, Riveria, and the others with me!" Loki slammed her fists heavily onto the railing, angrily blaming herself.
She prided herself on being the Goddess of Mischief, skilled at toying with others.
Yet, this time, she had been thoroughly played by Eugene!
"Shakti! While they are fighting, please rush to the Loki Familia headquarters for reinforcements at full speed!"
Loki shouted at the Ganesha Familia captain beside her, her tone leaving no room for doubt: "The situation here is no longer something an Lv. 5 can stop! It must be an Lv. 6! And preferably Finn and Gareth!"
Riveria is a mage; her close combat ability is only at the level of an Lv. 4 warrior; she can't stop these two monsters.
Startled by Loki's tone, Shakti didn't dare to delay and immediately turned to leave.
A god is a god after all; even without power, the inherent divinity still exerts a clear suppressive force on mortals.
"You must hold out until they arrive, Ais!" Loki looked worriedly at the murderous girl. Heaven knows if she can ever return to normal if this continues.
"Since things have come to this, don't even think about returning to how you were before."
"Once this switch is flipped, there's no going back." Eugene cracked his knuckles, making a kaka sound.
"Are you truly ready?"
"To kill publicly?"
Silence. It lasted only half a second.
"Hehe."
"I'm not going to kill you."
"I'm going to carve you into a thousand pieces!"
Ais's golden pupils were gradually covered by a shadow of darkness.
The black flames inside her were already starting to spread outward, looking extremely ominous.
But there was no doubt that this appearance, completely opposite to her usual self, and thoroughly shattering people's beautiful illusions, was her most powerful form!
Her strength, which had already reached the top of Lv. 5, had now ascended another level.
Without a doubt, she had stepped into the realm of Lv. 6!
Furthermore, unlike those super-attack magic skills, Ais, boosted by the Black Wind, received an extraordinary, all-around enhancement. Strength, speed, endurance, reaction time, magic... All attributes that could be boosted, except for technique, received an explosive increase!
This is why "Avenger" is considered the strongest output skill! Because it has no weaknesses!
The only thing holding her back was her merciful heart. And that was Eugene's only chance of victory.
"It wasn't a strong strike; she should wake up in a few minutes." Eugene estimated the time; "she" was at least an Lv. 3.
"So, my mission is to survive these few minutes against the furious Ais! F***, I really miss Haruhime. I must have a good time with her tonight."
Eugene covered his great axe with flames, holding the axe head forward, half attacking, half defending.
The two confronted each other across the space.
In the next instant, black and crimson magic swelled and exploded, violently colliding!
Sun Breathing, Eleventh Form: Solar Halo Dragon Dance!
Eugene's arm muscles bulged; this time, he released all his restrictions, starting with Sun Breathing's fastest combo!
As the huge battle axe swung, the blazing fire swirling in the air churned wildly, like a fire dragon leaping and soaring in the sky.
If the slender Nichirin Blade could achieve such an effect, the fire dragon created by Eugene's great axe was even more extraordinary!
Sword Dance + Gale Slash + Inch-Long Strength + Mighty Force + Hardening + Echolocation +...
Using various buffs all at once, Eugene ensured this was the strongest offensive he could unleash!
Even Ais, enhanced by the Black Wind, had to avoid the edge of the roaring fire dragon.
Her figure moved quietly like a phantom under the cover of the wind, letting Eugene rampage and bombard within the black hurricane.
Fortunately, Eugene had the divine skill of Echolocation at hand, allowing him to constantly track Ais's movements.
He was waiting for the moment she made her move. The great axe had a wide range, but correspondingly, its versatility couldn't match a sword.
If he showed even a slight opening, Ais's blade would strike mercilessly.
Whoosh!
An upward diagonal strike tore the shadow of the golden-haired banshee in the wind to shreds.
The fire dragon following close behind paused for a moment. Behind Eugene, a lightning-fast sword shadow approached, aimed at the center of his back!
A black vortex of wind wrapped around the long sword, forming a sharp spiral capable of breaking through all obstacles!
Now!
Eugene's feet spun rapidly. Just as the wind sword was about to touch him, his figure flickered and vanished like a candle flame.
Sun Breathing, Fourth Form: Fake Rainbow!
Kicking off the ground with his back leg, Eugene fiercely struck the shadow attacking from behind. But to his surprise, it was only a long sword made of black sand!
"I've seen that move." The hollow voice sounded behind him again.
Eugene's face drastically changed; the sensation of the sword tip on his spine was crystal clear.
She's this fast!
He felt it but couldn't move. At this moment, he was already in a state of being hit. He didn't know if the wind coat would be pierced by this strike.
But his spine would definitely be broken! Armor is not omnipotent!
But... The follow-up is omnipotent! Eugene did not panic. On the contrary, this was the time to demonstrate true skill!
Flying Thunder God! Activate!
Whoosh!
Eugene's figure flickered rapidly, shifting half a meter sideways in zero seconds!
He had also placed a Flying Thunder God mark on the axe handle, which could have an unexpected effect at a crucial moment.
It must be said, this ninjutsu was indeed incredibly useful! In an instant, the long axe became a short axe.
Eugene dodged the incoming blade, turning back to meet the gaze of the still elegant and beautiful girl.
Then, with an unbelievable synchronicity, both launched a slash at the other simultaneously!
A head-on clash!
Boom!!
A vortex of air was generated between the weapons, pushing back the surrounding black wind and fierce flames.
And Eugene, in that instant, also activated Mad Enhancement!
His muscles swelled, and his strength soared again. But even so, he couldn't shake that slender black sword!
Damn it, what a cheat...
Eugene couldn't help but exclaim. To boost Strength C to this extent showed how exaggerated this enhancement was.
The two opposing auras emitted terrifying fluctuations, making the hair stand up on the necks of the Amazon sisters watching nearby.
What kind of monsters were these two!
Creak, creak...
However, the balance was quickly broken.
The one falling behind was Eugene. His teeth were tightly clenched, and the veins on his neck bulged; clearly, he was not holding back a single bit.
But even so, Ais's pressure was gradually closing in.
A peak Lv. 5 fighting an Lv. 6 is still a struggle, even when just comparing brute force!
Though he was at a disadvantage, Eugene was still very happy. The more brilliantly you perform now, the more I'll have to get back later!
The corners of his mouth stretched into a wide, wild grin, even while he was in the inferior position.
"How is it? Can you still hear me?" Ais ignored him, only increasing the strength in her hands.
"Someone inside you is telling you to keep increasing the output, right?"
"It's deceiving you!"
"This method, though very powerful, will destroy you!"
"That's how it is when you make a deal with a devil."
"He'll give you power, but he'll distort how that power is used."
The ground beneath Eugene's feet had begun to collapse, and his core trembled; he didn't know when he would give out.
However, he continued to chatter, guiding Ais. The Black Wind originates from vengeance.
That is wrong. This power is essentially Ais's potential; it merely needs to be stimulated by strong emotion.
The principle is the same. Anger or vengeance, they are both keys to potential.
Once you become familiar with this power and truly control it, then even ordinary small moments of happiness can become the source of power that changes fate.
"Remember this! This power is originally yours!"
"Stop letting those chattering things trap you!"
"You are the daughter of Albert and Aria! But you are even more Ais Wallenstein!"
A sharp roar, as if an explosion rang out in her ear.
Eugene's words resonated profoundly within Ais's soul!
This was not only due to his knowledge of the truth but also because he had replaced Bell, and his thread of fate was now linked with Ais's.
"Shut up!!"
Ais's face contorted, and her head was in severe pain.
Roaring, she unleashed a black cyclone of powerful wind, instantly sending Eugene flying, along with a large section of the surrounding ground.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh..."
The succession of words allowed Ais, who had been sinking into darkness, to see the light once more.
Beneath her, a pitch-black figure was dragging her down. Above her, a pure white figure was reaching out a helping hand.
Both of them were Ais.
But, neither of them was the Ais.
The girl was lost. She was at the boundary of light and darkness, unsure of whom to choose.
"Only by crossing the past can you embrace the future."
"Only by facing yourself can you achieve growth."
Eugene charged forward once more, raising the cold, glittering axe blade high above Ais, who was in a state of mental instability.
He brought it down without mercy. The purpose was to create the "enlightenment" that only occurs between life and death!
