Chapter 231 Nemesis, the demon with Angel's blood 2
Marcus saw this as his victory and he chuckled.
"Die!"
With another howl, his dark origin aura condensed in his claws, and it extended to a gnarly length.
He smashed that attack into Nemesis's chest.
Nemesis watched the claw attack as time slowed around her.
That charged attack was reflected in her heterochromia's eyes.
Fwish! Fwish!
The Black and white wings covering in light as if they're made of light behind her also combined to form a giant sword of light, the sword of light was willed by Nemesis to meet the giant dark claw attack.
BAM!
A thunderous boom echoed out and a shockwave unlike any other shook the ground, blasting rocks to dust and fissuring the immediate vicinity in a tsunami of rubble.
Dust rained down over the land.
As a wave of dust reverberated outwards, the two fighters could no longer be seen.
Luna, the demon from the now-fallen Morningstar's family did her best to watch the fight, her sharp eyes pierced the cloud of dust.
When the dust touched the dark barrier of isolation put on by Nemesis to fight to her heart's content, the dark barrier repelled the dust from spreading beyond it. Soon, one could see only a giant crater at the center of the fight, a testament to the desolation brought upon this place.
Meanwhile, Nemesis and Marcus emerged from the chaotic scene as they wrestled for supremacy with their weapons, claws of darkness, and a sword of light. They pressed against each other while sparks flew off their weapons.
''Argh!"
Marcus groaned while putting more weight behind his claws.
He wanted to blow away the sword of light in front of him. Like an unbreakable wall, the sword of light resisted. Then, the wings unfurled slightly.
BAM!
The resulting force was transmitted into Marcus through his claws, staggering him even when he was empowered by his dark origin.
"Bastard!"
Marcus yelled when he fell back down on the ground.
Angered by his ineffective attack, he raged on while Nemesis unleashed another wave of attack, this time, in the form of two giant walls of light that crashed down upon Marcus.
Marcus' expression changed and he quickly jumped back as the wall missed him by just that much. When the walls plowed through the ground, it left deep gorges that canceled out the potholes from before.
Then, the walls of light crashed against the dark isolating barrier. The barrier shook as if a giant battered it with a battering ram.
Alas, the dark barrier proved to be more sturdy than it looked. It dimmed down a bit but it quickly recovered its previous sheen. If the barrier got dispelled, the whole base would come after Marcus, ending this fight with Marcus' hasty retreat.
After this attack, the wings covered in light fluttered around Nemesis, making her look like a spider that was weaving a web of light and lasers.
The formless wings behind Nemesis took the shape of a giant pair of wings.
Fwoosh
The wings covered in light expanded outwards, without using teleportation spells or any other supernatural powers, the wings arrived near Marcus.
Then, one of the wings sliced down at Marcus like a sharp knife.
BAM!
The wing made contact with Marcus' claw, he managed to block in time.
But, this wasn't the end, not yet.
The other wing smacked at Marcus, blowing away the surrounding air with a heated explosive gust that made the temperature inside this barrier rise in tandem. If this attack hits Marcus, he is going to be seriously injured.
Marcus steeled himself up as he used his brawny reptilian arm to take the brunt of the wing attack.
Claws met wings as the two collided in a storm of sparks and booms. The barrier trembled with the shockwaves emitted from the brutal exchange of attacks.
He used his strength to resist, he felt like he was a meat patty squeezed between two incredibly hard buns. He endured the wing attacks as the scales on his face and arms stood up due to his exertion.
As Marcus struggled with a dark look, his anger clouded his vision. He couldn't see the source of this trapping attack, he couldn't see Nemesis chanting a spell with an unknown language in the air above him.
Nemesis' origin started pouring out as she chanted a spell of divine origin. When she spat out the last magical verse, a robe that looked as regal as a king's and holy as a bishop's materialized on her body.
Her gothic dress was covered by this white and golden feather robe. Like a priest from an unknown religion, she looked divine and pompous, like an angel. One should know Nemesis's origin was that she was born from a demon overlord and an angel.
When her robe fully came into existence, Nemesis opened her eyes.
"Saint's Sanctuary!"
Shatter!
It sounded like something broke as the verses weaved together and the formation lit up brightly. A black spot appeared at the center of the magic formation, then, it spread across the formation rapidly.
The formation started cracking as fissures appeared, like a web of darkness, that covered the magic formation. The aura of a vicious beast crept into existence from beyond the dark fissures. It was like there was a chained beast sealed behind the magic formation.
Under Nemesis's command, the beast within the formation opened its savage maw.
Through the broken magic formation, a sound came from beyond this realm, the beast's huge fangs could be seen through the magic formation.
Marcus who was still struggling to free himself experienced a sense of dread unlike any other, it was like his body and mind told him to run away now. Marcus' expression turned grave as, it was something out of fantasy, something he read in the record but now he was seeing it.
"....."
"Dragon Breath!"
The phantasmal casting voice entered Marcus's ears just as his internal alarm went off. He looked up and saw what Nemesis was doing.
A beam of light so tiny it was laughable came down. Although it looked insignificant, anyone who could sense the power contained within would avoid it at all costs. Wherever the beam went, it destroyed the object in its way, even the air around it wasn't spared.
His ten eyes focused on this attack, the light beam was too quick for him to dodge. Then, the beam hit his scaly body.
Pszztt
The beam pierced Marcus and it hit the dark barrier of isolation behind him. The barrier did well to contain the vicious attacks they threw at each other before, however, when the Dragon's Breath touched the barrier, it didn't take a second to destroy the barrier.
With the barrier gone in a rain of dark fragments, the remnants got turned into Feathers of Light that slowly fell upon the ground, even outside the barrier, raining down on the forest.
It was a devastating scene.
