Chapter 353 - 351:Cataclysmic.
Both mine and the Infernal’s figure moved in eerie synchronicity. And the moment we collided. I witnessed exactly why this beast had the tag Cataclysmic in its grade.
I wasn’t affected. No. It wasn’t yet worthy to do such. But....
CRAAAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
The world on the other hand?
THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
Wasn’t so fortunate.
It felt like the whole world teetered on the edge from our collision.
A horrifying wave of energy blasted outwards In catastrophic waves with our figures locked in violent clash.
BOOOOOM!!! BOOOOMMM!!! BOOOOMMMM!!!
With each climb of our auras. With each subsequent clash. The abyss groaned and creaked.
HOWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
The infernal roared in pure rage.
"RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.."
I couldn’t help but roar back in reply as I let loose a devastating blow with my free left hand.
BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!
The infernal was sent flying into the distance as my fist made contact with its head.
I took a step. Vanishing from my spot.
SHIIINGGGG
Elira came down in one swift devastating arc the moment I appeared before the creature, intent on giving it the same treatment its pack members had gotten, but...
CLLANNNGGGGG!!!!!!!!
A sharp claw swipe met me dead on as the world around us fractured even further...
It’s claws were coated in the same crimson black aura that had eaten up my flames from earlier, and I could feel them trying to infect Elira too.
Roooooooarrrrrrrrr!!!!
She became incensed at the audacity of the beast before her as her blade heated up.
Chaos energy bled out of me in waves as she took it in.
Blurb!! Blurb!! Blurb!!!
The sound of something being heated up filled the clearing as her blade turned a dark crimson, sinking slowly into the dark matter coated claws of the beast.
YOWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
It howled in obvious pain as it tried to pry its claws away, but...
"Cleave..."
SHING...
Elira’s blade was nothing but a blur, and before the creature could realize it..
PSSHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
A car sized paw had been severed clean off...
YOOWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
It roared in pure agony as it distanced itself.
Pshhhhhhh!!!!!
"Hmmmmm..... tasty..." my grin turned crazy as I took in the disgusting smell of burning infernal meat.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
The monster growled as it’s eyes glowed viciously.
Howl!! Howl!! HOWLLLLLL!!!!
It howled into the skies as it’s form became coated in that same dreary black matter. It’s aura spiking violently as another head... Grew from its body.
Then another..
And another...
It didn’t stop until it had grown four additional heads.
"Heh! Freaky ass Cerberus." I laughed.
HOWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
The chaotic atmosphere of the abyss scattered as our forms collided once more..
The world convulsed beneath us. Endless rifts ripped across the land, racing farther than the eye could follow as entire stretches of earth collapsed into the darkness below.
The heavens shattered again and again beneath the force of our clashes, while storms of broken space and violent winds swept across the abyss without end.
Every collision birthed another cataclysm. Mountains crumbled into dust, seas of molten earth erupted from the depths, and the land itself groaned as though it could no longer bear our weight.
The aftershocks rolled onward without stopping, tearing through kingdoms and forbidden lands alike, leaving only devastation in their wake.
It no longer resembled a battle. It was the abyss itself screaming beneath the weight of two monsters.
"Yes! Yes! Yessss!!!"
"CLEAVE!!!!"
SHIIIIIIINGGGGG
With another devastatingly precise swing, Elira finally made leeway as..
PSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
A massive head came flying through the air..
YOWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
An agonizing howl tore out the throat of the infernal, but...
"Cleave..."
SHIIINNGGGG!!!!
Elira had already gotten too excited to care.
And I was too excited to stop.
Pashhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Another head came flying through the air as the monster was sent flying into the distance.
I took step. Space folded before me. Unfolding right behind the tumbling infernal.
"Cleave..."
Another head came sliding off the creature’s shoulders...
YOWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
Agony and anger swelled with its 4 pair of eyes as the monster opened the mouths of the two remaining heads.
A crimson black sphere of energy charging up within them, but....
"Heh! Futile..." I raised Elira up in response...
Wooosh!!!
Wooosh!!!!
The spheres were shot at me at impossible speeds. They happened before the attacks were even made. But...
"Past severance..."
The second to the last head came sliding off following a flash of golden light as the world blinked and reality righted itself.
I appeared behind the wailing and agonizing creature.
"Haaaaa.... Satisfying..." I couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
The smell or destruction. Of carnage. Of death.
It was all so soothing. So calming. So...
"Completing..."
ROOOOOOOOOOARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
The shockwaves from the monster’s pain filled roar slammed into my back as I tilted my head sideways.
The creature hadn’t run. It had instead taken a stance.
Four bleeding headless stumps leaked putrid black blood constantly.
The monster body had been decorated with multiple scars. Some bone deep. Others having skinned the creature.
It looked like nothing that should still be alive , but..
"You’re strong..." I hadn’t used any of my laws yet. Barring the timeless series I used to stop the last attack. It had been all physical domination.
But still.... At this point. Merely surviving this long against me even if I was only using physical attacks was a monumental achievement, so...
"You’re strong." I repeated with a nod.
GRRRRRRRRR.....
The monster growled as it began to slowly gather its aura.
"Ahhh... I knew you were special." My excited grin returned when I saw the creature’s reaction.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...
"You can feel it, can’t you?" I spread my arms wide as Elira began buzzing crazily..
HOWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
It’s aura deepened as it began sacrificing its lifeforce...
"Ahhhh.... Such an entertaining foe. But sadly.. it is as you have felt..."
ROARRRRRRRRR!!!!
The whole devastated landscape began trembling violently as the ginormous manifestation of a five headed infernal wolf appeared above the monster.
It burned in that same crimson black glow the wolf had been using to mitigate the damage it received and exponentially increase its own.
"Beautiful.... Truly... what a specimen..." I muttered as I looked at the majestic manifestation that was staring down at me with ten eyes filled with nothing but... death.
"Allow me then. To respond in kind..."
Zhhiiinnggg!!!
Elira’s form slowly shrank down until she was only six foot long. Her blades having curved inwards until the tips touch the bottom and head of the staff, turning the weapon into one large semi crescent disk, as I placed her vertically in front of me.
"I have only ever used this attack once. And it was a very muted version. You should feel honored....."
HOWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLL....
"Absolute series....."
The infernal manifested rigt before me. Mountain like claw aimed straight for my relatively diminutive figure, but...
"All things..."
The moment I opened my mouth, the world... STOPPED.
"Must end..."
I could see the creature’s eyes trembling violently as it seemed to have sensed it..
"And every end..."
The voice no longer sounded like my voice, but like the will of all things making an irrefutable decree..
"Has already been decided."
I concluded my words as I looked deep into the infernals shrunken pupils..
"It was a delightful fight." I smiled, and then...
"Final...
..... Moment."
...
...
A suffocating silence suddenly gripped the world as everywhere became dead quiet.
Nothing seemed to have happened. But then..
CRACK!
It wasn’t a loud sound. But with the silence, it might as well have been thunder from the heavens.
CRACK!
Then again.
CRACK!
And again.
It started from the monster’s head. Then its neck. Then its feet. Then its claws. Then it’s entire body.
Until eventually...
CRASHHHHH!!!!
It crashed into crimson black ash that drifted with the stale wind.
"Hoooo....." I slowly opened my eyes as I steadied myself. Bringing Elira to rest on my shoulder, I looked down.
"I guess..."
I smiled.
"..... that’s mission accomplished."

A/N: I would’ve preferred that Heaven rend To this one. This one is too much of a silent Vanquisher. I prefer larg explosions. Booo.. Dante... I guess we can’t always have our way, but anyway...
