Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Space trembled as a powerful aura emanated from the man. He had long since died as his eyes were empty, but despite that, he was still emitting a tremendous amount of energy just floating in the air.
'Well, well, I thought that scary ghost would be my last enemy before the finale, but it looks like I was wrong... I hope this staff won't be as strong... otherwise, I might be in serious trouble.' Wain inwardly muttered with as serious a look.
Whooooooooosh.
Suddenly the Wizard waved his hand as the statuette of the scarlet staff trembled. A large amount of energy was directed toward it and gradually the statuette grew several times larger, turning into a long staff of suitable size for a human.
"Fuck... Is this really happening...?" Wain uttered while in disbelief.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
The azure orb on the staff glowed brightly as it headed toward the Wizard. He took a step forward, dropping to the ground as the wooden coffin behind him, flew back several meters as if an invisible force had pushed it away.
"Is this your last trump card...? Haven't you got anything better than a nearly decomposed corpse?" Wain spoke in a mocking manner with a smirk on his face as he glanced at Virion.
Virion with a calm look wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and said, "I wouldn't be so careless if I were you. Otherwise, you might not live to see the end of our fight. Go ahead, show me what you can do."
Wain frowned as he took a few steps back. He didn't like that he had to spend a lot of energy and the last what he had on artifacts, but he just didn't have any other choice.
'Well, at least he got to spend energy to activate the artifacts too. What's more, now he's even wounded because of the powerful recoil...' Wain wondered and his eyes turned icy as he realized that his opponent was definitely not weak.
'Hmm... I didn't expect his latest artifacts to be so problematic. This Wizard will give us quite a bit of trouble, moreover... even though he used two artifacts, we will be fighting against one opponent.' Abyss Artist said in a thoughtful manner as if he was trying to think of a plan.
'Yeah... I didn't expect something like that at all. One artifact uses another one as its weapon... It's strange, but the sight of that wizard gives me goosebumps.' Wain muttered inwardly with a frowned expression.
Whoooooooooooosh.
The Wizard looked at Wain as a blue light flickered among his empty eyes. It was unusual as behind the fire were small magical circles. At the same moment, Wizard waved his hand and the space beside him trembled.
An indescribable amount of energy burst out of his body as three magical circles appeared to his left. Magical projectiles flew out of them, heading at Wain at breakneck speed.
Wain's pupils narrowed as he jumped aside. The magical projectiles weren't capable of chasing him, so they just flew on, toward one of the hills.
'Hmm... They don't look very powerful. When I use the power of Blind Sorcerer I can create about the same. Perhaps I overestimated my opponent's strength.' Wain inwardly muttered while looking at the magical projectiles as they almost reached the hill.
The area around the shining tree was still protected by reds that seemed able to absorb any amount of energy. The only exception was Alucard's strike as he just left a massive imprint on the ground.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Several flowers on the trees opened as magical circles appeared above them. They began to absorb energy as suddenly magical projectiles just passed through them, easily breaking the barriers.
At the same time, the ground trembled as the top of the hill was destroyed by a huge magical explosion. The blue fire spread around in waves, tearing the trees in its path and ripping them from the ground with their roots.
"What the hell...?" Wain muttered with wide eyes while in disbelief, "Why are they so powerful...? I hardly felt any aura from them."
A shiver ran through Wain's body as he realized what could have happened to him if he had chosen to block the magical projectiles instead of dodging them.
'Well, now you understand how dangerous your enemy really is, but I've already figured out what we need to do to deal with this problem.' Abyss Artist said in a calm voice as a dark flame lit up in his eyes.
'Hmm? What are you talking about? Is there any way to defeat such a strong opponent quickly?' Wain asked in confusion.
'Sure. I didn't expect it to be this difficult, so we'll have to make some sacrifices. Originally my plan was for me to help you in the final stages of your fight, but that doesn't make any sense now.' Abyss Artist said seriously as his energy increased.
Whooooooooooooooosh.
The dark mantle on Wain, soared up as particles of darkness appeared among his eyes. At the same time, the runes on the dark guards glowed brightly and they came into motion.
'Wain, I will give you all my power right now. Use it as you see fit, but you must be sure to kill this wizard before my energy runs out or you will most likely die.' The Abyss Artist said in a deadly serious voice as he held out his hand.
Dark particles flew from his fingertips, rushing upward, then, ancient writings appeared on Wain's mantle as his aura multiplied.
"What the hell...? So he's been hiding such a large amount of energy all this time...? Is that possible?" Virion muttered while in disbelief as his whole body trembled. At that moment it seemed to him that even the Dragon had less energy than the Fourth Chronicle human before him.
"Fine, since you've decided to give me everything you've got, rest assured that I'll use your power as well as you will." Wain said in a thunderous voice.
