Chapter 502 502: The Void Express III
Cole took one step forward and went up into the air, climbing on it as if it was a platform, a sizzle of energy blasting off around his feet with grey and white lightning, his form blurring forwards as he pulled out Black Malakai and slashed forwards, stars birthing themselves over the edge of the blade.
The giant Voidling or Void Nestling as the train driver had called it, slashed out a tentacle edge with serrated teeth and horrific looking suckers. Dark void energy lines up and met the thin beam of light that Cole had slashed out.
*Boom!*
The Void Nestling destroyed Cole's attack like it was nothing. But the Raen Devil still had the tenacity of humanity, the sheer will and audacity to be in the face of impossible odds and use the same attack again, expecting it to make a difference and knowing that it won't.
*Boom!*
The Voidling seemed to have an annoyed look on its face, but Cole grinned back and turned to Azrael. "It's just the two of us so we can't be a standard party, however we seem to be able to counter this ugly fuck. I'll keep him contained and pile on the damage, you do the assassin shit and stab him in the back, and make sure it's your best shot, I don't know if we can kill it, but it'll take all our strength combined to be able to keep us alive, and even then I doubt it would be enough to meet it in a fight."
"Not getting scared are you? Lord of Chaos." Cole shrugged at Azrael's response, not giving him an answer at all as he pointed at the Void Nestling, who seemed contented to just watch them…. Scheming out ways to bring it down.
"No, I tend to overestimate my opponents and underestimate the dangers they pose to me. It's contradictive, I know but. In the face of overwhelming odds, I'd imagine I'm an ant going up against an elephant….that way I can remind myself and force my body to strike like a meteor, a meteor that wipes out all threats, not just one elephant. So no, I'm not scared of the big ugly fuck."
"Good! Well you don't need to worry about it being stronger than we are, because I get the feeling that by the end , we would have figured it out. Just do what you have been doing Chaos Lord….cause Chaos and then use it to hone yourself, use it to grow."
Cole blinked a few times, that was probably the most he has ever heard Azrael say, since the met. Or rather since the assassin started trying to kill him. There was a loud crack as what seemed to be a black Bolt of lightning rushed at Azrael, however the assassin seemed fall away into the void, vanishing into the darkness as Cole blasted forwards off the train, his leap taking him high above the Void Nestling as he slashed down again, the single silver black edge.
Once again the Nestling swung a tentacle, but it was obvious it was getting very annoyed by the repeated attacks. However this time, the tentacle it swung got knocked pretty badly, a spray of blood going up into the air as the void Nestling let out a loud cry.
From behind the being a massive silver purple scythe caused a rip through reality as it stabbed down straight into the beings back. It released a roar of pain so powerful, both Azrael and Cole was blasted backwards, their bodies somehow finding its way back onto the train.
"Well don't just lay there! Keep doing what you're doing! Go on! Shoo!"
Cole turned to the side looked at Azrael who looked back at him for a moment before his body blurred away. Cole smiled and blasted of using [Gravity Rings] as he fed his kinetic stat and dragged out the power from it to feed the birth of stars in his center, which he quickly fed into Black Malakai and slashed out, prompting a notification from the system.
[Your Cosmic Stat And Your Weapon Black Malakai Have Discovered A Hidden Synergy! The Technique: Midnight Horizon has been comprehended by 77%]
Cole quickly ignored the prompt as he slashed, shifting BlackMalakai from its normal longsword from to that of a Great sword, giving the weapon even more power by boosting it with the aid of [Storm Calling] and [Gravity Rings]. There was a sound akin to a loud bell, the kinds you hear from Clocks when they hit midnight.
In that moment there was bright flash of light, however it was not a flash. The technique itself was weird as it seemed as if the darkness had exploded and rapidly swallowed up all the lights around the head of the void Nestling. Now that he was not on the other end of that technique, Cole had to say it was a thing of beauty. Darkness eating light in order to blind someone, the complete opposite but still with the disorienting effects of a flash bang. Not to mention the ability to interfere with his Divination stat. Of course Cole would not tell Azrael that.
But there was something to be said about the man. He came up with a technique to mess with Cole's perception, unknowingly creating something capable of blocking precognition. The assassin becomes even more hidden. Cole's next attack hit, And it just seemed as if everything was wrong, something that was not supposed to be had become, and reality seemingly wanted to collapse into itself.
*Rooooaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrerraaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhh!*
The creature roared our, going from bestial to human like at the end. But the roar was intense, releasing powerful shockwaves that was literally ripping reality apart. The hole in the barrier was wide enough that small amount of the shockwave would get through, and with the train driver busy, Cole did not thing Razor would be able to protect himself.
Cole took a step forward as his body vanished, jagged edges of black and white appearing, rifts left behind from Cole's movement opening for a very limited time, windows into other realities. Cole's biggest weakness; speed has finally been solved. He spread his arms wide as [Gravity Rings] started pushing back, increasing the gravity past a hundred, spinning as the shockwave kept getting closer and closer.
*Shreeeeririeieieieieieieieie!*
It was like running glass over the under side of a pot. But still there was significant impact from it as Cole was pushed back, half the bones in his chest turned to mush meat, with a fractured and deformed skull. He fell to the ground, still alive but heavily injured. But the Void Nestling was still standing.
