Last Descendant: Awakening The SSS+ Rank World Devouring System

Chapter 27: Battle Of Elements {Dark Versus Lightning}

’What on Earth is going on? My stats are clearly higher than his, like way higher but I still can’t defend against his blows.’ Draxus couldn’t believe the absurdity of the current situation unfolding itself right before him.

{What do you mean higher? Your stats are roughly the same, get a hang of yourself okay?}

’Nahh, I’m sure my stats are higher.’ Draxus retorted. Fully awake this time around, his drowsy state earlier was knocked off by the hit from Erimitis.

{Still arguing with me? Despite an intelligence value of over four hundred you still fail to remember something as simple as numbers ei?}

Silence~~

’Oh nice, my stats aren’t actually higher.’

{Focus}

"Getting distracted?" A voice echoed right beside his ears, followed by a blast of shockwave which nearly blew him away.

Draxus could only withstand the blow by parrying it away with his broadsword which he was very clumsy with.

Noticing this flaw Erimitis grabbed onto it, ignoring the crackles of lightning and broke it apart into splitters within mere seconds!

"Unlocking the bloodline is useless if the user is this weak."

’Why? How am I still unable to deal even a single blow despite the upgrades?’ Draxus thought inwardly, his mind in severe turmoils.

’The stats are just a bunch of figures, such a fucking scam!’

{I get you also understand a bit about your stupidity but don’t you ever involve the system in your mess, the stats are honest representations of the abilities of both parties, totally your fault if you cannot perform up to per according to the stats provided, you can’t even use your skills properly!}

’Uhm--, I don’t really get what you expect right now, I was still on Earth preparing for exams a few days ago. How am I supposed to understand all these in a few days? Don’t blame me!’

{Excuses, but don’t include the system in your barrage of excuses. I will not tolerate that, the host being a bum doesn’t make the almighty system created from the coalition of sovereigns and Gods a bum! Accept it, you’re a bum!}

Draxus conjured another broadsword by gathering lightning, followed by a wide swing to counter Erimitis’s spikes shot at him but the latter simply ducked aside at an unbelievable angle by splitting his arms from the nape down to the waist and reassembled just few centimeters away from Draxus.

"So easy." He then conjured another cannon made from black energy aimed directly at Draxus’s chest.

Bang!

Followed by a loud explosion Draxus was blown tens of meters away, his sword broke apart once again and at this point Draxus finally realized one sore fact.

’Okay there really is a huge issue here, I can’t penetrate his defences because he has none in the first place, just a mash of slime? No physical body features since he can recreate it and disassemble also.’ His mind was turning every single one of its gears at an extremely rapid pace, imagining every single possibility that could aid him towards victory.

’Fuck this, a sword won’t work, I’ll have to forget my dreams of being the legendary sword immortal or sword God for now.’ he thought then withdrew the final splitters of the sword left in his hand, back bent low with eyes crackling.

"I can do this, I can do this, we’re doing great Draxus, we’re doing great."

"Doing great? You’re not." Erimitis who stood far away from him said with a grin then raised his right arm, dissolved the cannon and reformed his five fingers then snapped.

Snap!

Boooooooommmm!!!!

Before Draxus could react, all he noticed was a dark glob on his left arm, the dark glob lit up with a dark glow, swelled then burst into an explosion.

Erimitis clenched his right arm tightly then stepped forward, advancing with each step at a time, eyes fixed on the cloud of dust before him.

"Techniques, bloodlines, physiques, abilities, grades and realms are all aids, supportive measures. What actually determines the ability of a warrior is his very own ability to utilize those techniques and aids, give two people the same ability and one will definitely pull out more of its potential than the other."

"For someone with the bloodline of a God, I am very dissapointed. As an apology to Lord Anemoi I promise to use this gift properly." He then took a huge leap forward, appearing in the dust cloud where he reached out for Draxus who was crouching on the ground with head lowered.

The moment Erimitis reached out for Draxus his eyes suddenly lit up with a blue glow, he twisted to the side then conjured a sword made of lightning and made a horizontal slash to the left, splitting him into two right from his neck to his waist!

{Wow, congratulations on making your first fatal hit!}

"Don’t think I’ll go down so easily!" Draxus screamed out, his teeth gritted tightly against each other as he dissolved the sword then rushed forward, crackles of lightning seeping into his bones and flesh. Everything seemed to slow down to a pause including even the tiny particles of dust nearby, even Erimitis could barely notice Draxus’s movements!

’Yea, why did I even forget this? My current best attribute is speed and the lightning element increases this even further, by using elemental possession even if I can’t necessarily beat him it shouldn’t be so hard to dodge him right?’ he then burst into a speed so fast Erimitis could barely make out his afterimages.

{You’re finally putting your intelligence to good use, realizing the main forte of the Anemoi bloodline so late, even a little baby would’ve noticed it already!}

’He is too fast!’ Erimitis thought, his hands dissolving to create two pairs of swords made from dark spikes which he held to his sides followed by a dark shield surrounding him to prevent any sort of sneak attack from Draxus.

"Hehe, not so proud now again are we?" Draxus echoed out in a mocking voice then dashed towards Erimitis from behind, creating a broadsword made from lightning and drove it towards his heart, or where the heart was supposed to be.

’Mhmm, I could just punch your guts out but I sort of prefer just using this sword!’

Just a few centimeters away from making impact with Erimitis his eyes suddenly opened wide when a spike extended from his back, piercing his heart all the way behind his back.

’H-How?’

’Don’t tell me you forgot I can use telepathy? Oh boy, sorry for destroying your hopes.’ a voice echoed into his head followed a wave of immense headache which hit him from nowhere, he lost all strength in his limbs and fell backwards helplessly.

{Ding! Host took severe damage!: HP -300! (You took severe critical hit and you’re now on the verge of death!)}

{Ding! Host’s mental control and state has been compromised! Host is slowly losing control, once you lose all control the first system Awakening quest will be considered as failed!}

’How and why the fuck did this even happen?’

{I’m not to blame for the host’s incompetence, thank you!}
