When Dilan chose to go all out to snatch back his freedom, he knew that he was going to die at least once.
The True Undying Essence was unleashed in its strongest form while engulfing his entire body with the Power of Destruction. His presence changed all of a sudden and fierce determination could be found burning brightly in his eyes as he created more layers of Destruction around his body and….inside his body, around his organs, veins, bones, and flesh.
The layers of Destruction were everywhere and Dilan ended up killing himself by unleashing the power that hibernated in the depths of the layers of destruction.
An ear-deafening explosion occurred, but the only thing Kaledur could see was blood spurting through the entire arena, followed by bone fragments, chunks of blood, shreds of skin, and brain mass scattering in all directions.
"The chains broke…" Nial mumbled in disbelief. He spat spitting out blood when the backlash of the broken Chaos Darkness Essence chains hit him and some of Dilan's innards went in his mouth.
He had accumulated enough energy, Essence of Darkness, and Chaos to bind Dilan Cier for decades if necessary, under normal circumstances. However, it looked like he had miscalculated something, which was why they were back to square one.
Misculated may be the wrong word because he was not foolish enough to think that Dilan could be defeated that easily. Nonetheless, it was a surprise that Dilan could dispel the darkness domain so easily using the Domain of Destruction which seemed to be unstable and hard to maintain for the Undying.
Nonetheless, the Power of Destruction was more potent and lethal than his dark energy, no matter how bad Dilan's control of the Destruction was.
Unable to properly control his Power of Destruction, he had to use his entire body, and overclock the Power of Destruction within him.
By creating numerous layers of Destruction inside and outside his body, and the overclocked state of his Power of Destruction, it was possible for Dilan to break free from the Chaos Darkness Essence chains.
The moments the chains were broken, Dilan showed signs of healing. The fragments of his body were rapidly pulled together, and he absorbed the surrounding mana just moments later to exert his Green Magic.
He unleashed a typhoon out of nowhere to hurl his body far away from his current position. Dilan's body still consisted of mere fragments rather than a properly working body and it would require a few more seconds for him to heal completely.
Nial wanted to make use of these seconds to overwhelm Dilan once again. It was not possible to win the fight against the Undying, but it was certainly plausible to pass the mission he was given.
However, Dilan didn't look like he wanted to accept a tie. Emerging victorious in this battle seemed to be important enough for Dilan to endure the unbearable pain, which nobody else in their right minds would willingly endure!
'This insane madlad!!' Nial shouted in his mind, unable to imagine just how much pain Dilan had already gone through in this battle.
He couldn't care about that either, even if he wanted to. If he began to care about his opponent's well-being all of a sudden, he might actually lose against the Undying, especially because his opponent was Dilan Cier!!
Understanding this clearly, Nial released more than ten thousand vines manifested of dark energy from all over the Colosseum's arena. The darkness vines burst out of the ground and arena walls and shot straight towards Dilan, giving him no way of escape.
The typhoon he had summoned was also destroyed by the influx of the darkness vines that pierced through the powerful winds without much resistance.
Within a second or two the typhoon completely subsided. It dispersed and released the miserable figure of Dilan's healing body.
The Undying was high in the air, and his upper body had mostly regenerated, which included his head and face, on which one could clearly see the smile of a crazy maniac.
"This lunatic…" Kaeldur growled, his long claws turning crimson as he squatted down on the ground. His claws touched the ground and it was just a moment later that Nial reacted to his first Devil's action as well, sending more dark energy, crimson moonlight, and Essence of Darkness inside his companion's body.
Under the influx of Nial's energy supply, it took Kaeldur merely a moment to generate the necessary force to blast upward, his claws reaching out for Dilan's head.
Dilan could only see Kaledur's afterimages, but that was more than enough for him to come up with a counter attack.
"You guys are not the only ones who can play around with the colors of your energies!" He shouted out incomprehensibly while his crazy smile seemed to turn into an evil, mocking grin.
Dilan's arms were shrouded in crimson bolts of lightning all of a sudden. The bolts of lightning burned through his skin and flesh, destroying everything they touched in an instant. But even then…Dilan just smiled.
He summoned the strongest bolt of lightning that belonged to one of the techniques he had learned. It was obvious that no mortal should possess the powers to wield, let alone control this kind of technique.
Not even Dilan thought that he would be able to control the crimson bolts of lightning. He might have a few lose screws but he was not delusional, not yet!!
Using the mana that originated from the huge cloud that hovered high above the air of the Colosseum, Dilan ended up with the ability to summon the crimson bolts of lightning, in the first place. As for unleashing them in a controlled manner, he never planned to do that, to begin with!
But what he could possibly do was unleash more and more of his power, thereby creating an overloaded state of electricity the moment Kaeldur emerged in front of him.
Dilan had been fighting against Nial and his two Devils for a very long time by now. Countless days had passed and he could already fathom the train of thoughts and the moves of his opponents. Thus, he knew very well what was going to happen.
The Undying's head flicked back and so did the rest of his regenerating body mere milliseconds before he released the charge of crimson bolts of lightning that were supposed to be used as a shroud and amplification of one's fist, and not like a supernatural, God-killing charge!
However, that was exactly what Dilan did, except that he didn't intend to kill a God. One of his arms reached for the sky, while his other arm aimed at the empty air…or so it looked at the first glance.
"Come out, you fucking bastard!!" Dilan thundered despite the tremendous pain owing to his body getting destroyed and healed at the same instance.
He laughed like a maniac as he unleashed the power of the crimson bolts of lightning through both of his arms.
Simultaneously, his head moved upward, unveiling the Demon who had forcefully altered his trajectory multiple times in an attempt to outwit Dilan.
But now that he was less than a meter away from Dilan, ready to decapitate the Undying, it looked like all of this had been a ruse.
It was almost as if Dilan was in possession of a clairvoyance ability…able to tell what was about to happen in the future that lay ahead of them.
'Burn to crisp!'
