[Void]
Bashing their swords at each other and trying to kill the other as they showed their prowess in swordsmanship, both Asuto and Hibiki then started to elevate their battle while leveling the battlefield
With a slash coming from Asuto which shots out a huge wave of energy, Hibiki then instantly reacted to it as he tilted his body to his right before speeding up his flight speed to close the distance between them
Seeing such suicidal act, Asuto then reach out his hand infront of him as he started to accumulate a huge gravitational force from his palm
"Black hole!!!"
Surprised by this sudden attacking method, Hibiki then spreads out his wings to force himself to decrease his momentum before flying out of the gravitational control of Asuto's spell
In a swift he then streamlined straight at another angle while aiming at the hand that was controlling the suction spell
"Sword of light!!!"
conjuring up to 50 sword of light in the air, he then used his spell to distract Asuto's Attention away from him even in a slight moment
Unexpectedly such tactic proved to be useful as the wave of sword had somehow hid his presence away from Asuto by a few seconds, thus succeeding in himself to appear right beside him
With such distance Hibiki then unhesitatingly slashed his sword towards Asuto's hand
Unfortunately the person himself immediately reacted to it and instantly canceled his spell as he retracted his arm, thus causing hibiki to miss by at least 0.5 seconds
Realizing his failure Hibiki then forego his sneak attack and thus aimed towards Asuto's with the hope of injuring him at the very least
Sadly it wasn't that easy to deal with Asuto, Thus the person himself then replied to Hibiki's hostility by attacking him in return, causing their swords clash once more
"Your attentive to changes i see..."
"And you reacted so fast that it's annoying"
"It's my forte, if you had somewhat grown as strong as i am, then surely you would naturally react fast because of experience"
"Experience? how? by sacrificing my humanity? i don't think i can do that"
"....."
"Not only did you kill the past heroes to be your sacrifice for something inhumane, you also want to erase the current reality and create your own? How can you just say that without batting an eye? is a mortal life that insignificant to you?"
Hearing that Asuto then pushed Hibiki away using his force and started to attack him continuously, causing the latter to lag behind in case of momentum
Due to that Asuto took this chance as he immediately spun around to avoid Hibiki's retaliation and sent a palm strike towards him
"Discharge!!!"
In that instant Hibiki experience what Aileene experienced when such attack successfully landed on her unarmed body
Physically, mentally, and spiritually, all of this assaulted Hibiki as his whole body propelled backwards and crashed against various landscapes
"I'll say it and i'll say it again, once you lived as long as i am, then you will know how cruel mortals are... not only humans but also the other type of living intelligence in other places are included... all of them are so much the same that's its hard to differentiate them"
Hearing this Hibiki then started to cough roughly as he replied
"Then what? you'll act like a god? deciding whos going to live and who's not? if that's how its going to be then i won't let you... plus i've got my personal grudge against you"
Holding unto his own sword in hand, Hibiki the charge forward as he zoomed past the distance and struck Asuto with his sword
Naturally Asuto held unto his own sword and completely blocked Hibiki's attack while implanting his foot to the ground to hold his ground, unfortunately Hibiki wasn't done yet as he spreads out his wings and started to exert a huge force which propelled them both forward and crash against many obstacles
Gritting his teeth Hibiki immediately puts a huge distance in between them the moment Asuto tried to grab him by the head, thus using this huge space he then started zooming in from many different directions as he attacked Asuto from all sides
Following his movements with his eyes, Asuto then efficiently dodge every strike that Hibiki tried to land unto him causing the situation to be hectic for the hero
But before he could rejoice the ground beneath his feet suddenly moved and stuck him in his permanent space, thus giving chance for Hibiki to struck him hard from the sides causing his own armor to slowly break away
Blasting him off his feet, Asuto then stumbled t various rock formations as lightning from above struck him down to his place causing massive explosion
Stunned by what just happened Hibiki then glanced at the direction of kaido as he saw him pummeling Asuto on one place with such attack
"Kaido?"
Hearing that Kaido then angrily shouted at him
"What the hell are you doing?!?! attack him you idiot! don't give him some leeway!!!"
But before anything could happen a sudden rise of power emerge from where Asuto is located and immediately fire off millions of projectiles towards the both of them, Thus destroying the place completely and wiping everything off the map
Falling on his knees Kaido then heavily panted for air as his whole body ache in pain and was bleeding all over, at this moment a person actually landed in front of him as Asuto held his hair up to force kaido to look at him
"I can't believe you worked together with the hero just to do deal a lethal attack on me" grumbled Asuto
"Don't worry even i myself am surprised by my actions... the feelings mutual" replied Kaido as he chuckled a little
Hearing that Asuto couldn't help but shake his head in frustration as he sigh
"Are you really not joining me? it will be a waste if you don't"
"I've already told you... your death is beneficial to me so... please die for me"
"Your crazy!"
"I know"
"Sadly you wont be able to see the day i die, since i'm going to kill you right this moment... if your not joining me then your existence is detrimental to my goal"
"Is that a praise or what?"
"huh?"
"Cause the way i see it... your a dead man"
In that instant Kaido's whole body glowed as he then released a nuclear explosion like never been seen before and completely illuminated the dim sky
At that moment Hibiki then came out from the rubble he was buried in and looked at the sudden explosion not far from him
But before he could react a huge cut suddenly emerged inside the explosion causing it to instantly disperse due to Asuto's interference
From his position he could see Asuto slashing his sword across Kaido's body, causing the latter to fall unto his knees once more
Upon seeing this his power once more raged inside him as he released a huge amount of mana than ever before, this time by using this enormous mana to cover up the whole battlefield, Hibiki had actually used his lifeforce as a fuel for this sudden outburst
"ASUTO!!!"
With a slash he sends out hundreds of sword wave towards Asuto, fully assaulting in full force
Seeing this Asuto then held out his palm to directly block such attacks upfront, but due to this another shot came from above as Hibiki plans to completely restrain him
"Solar ray!!!"
using nhis free hand Asuto then completely block the second wave thus completely restraining him just like what Hibiki wanted to happen
Without wasting any time Hibiki then came in close distance and slashed Asuto across his armor causing it to show signs of breaking
Not stopping there Hibiki then utilized his wings to strung the center focal point of Asuto causing the latter to be blown off his feet and crash unto the ground
Striking from above Hibiki the smacked Asuto to the floor thus creating a huge crater , but in spite of that Hibiki instantly dive down and attacks Asuto in a full offensive mode
as the receiving end of such fiery of attacks Asuto then slowly losses his ground as he started to back away from this unrefined movements of Hibiki thus making him unpredictable to a certain degree
"Enough!"
with a slsh from him he then completely stopped Hibiki's momentum as he readied his next attack
"Spell counter!!!"
with just one attack all damage that was dealt upon asuto was completely reflected towards Hibiki causing his very armor and sword to almost break apart from the pressure, apart from that he was also blown away as he received all the pain that Asuto has accumulated all this while
Bleeding all over his body, Hibiki then fell on his back as he heaved heavily cause of exhaustion, in contrast to Asuto who seemed to be still intact as he haven't felt tired before
"You did well... unfortunately that power is consuming your lifeforce... but i do agree that such power could almost topple me"
"...."
"So young yet so violent... you still have a lot of space to grow... but sadly your going to die anyway"
"Me die? not new to me... i've already died a few times now, so what makes this any different?"
"The difference is that you won't probably exist anymore... the villain is down... so are the heroes too, who's going to stop me?
Hearing that Hibiki couldn't help but coughed out some pile of blood as he said
"So you think your undefeated? Is that it? You think your invincible? Then why is a person like you needed someone else to change the whole reality, I think your not that special after all"
"Is that a taunt? Cause all I can say is that I ain't affected"
After a few moments of silence, Hibiki then said towards Asuto
"You shouldn't expect that you'll win Everytime you know... Fate can be tricky"
At that moment Asuto felt a hand grabbed unto his shoulder as he got punched right to his face by Kaido
"Don't count me out... Who the fuck are you to decide whether I'm out or not?"
In just one stomp from Kaido, various fissures soon erupted thus twisting the very platform that they were standing in
Using Asuto as a center gravitational force, Kaido then magnetized every rock and soil around him towards Asuto to trapped him at the center
After that he raised such humongous rock where containing Asuto up in the air as he detonated a mini type of supernova exceeding 20,000° Celsius right next to him
Using his psychic energy he then contained the explosion in a spherical shape which further agitate the molecules inside to cause even greater concentrated heat thus breaking it up towards 22,000° Celsius
"Try living it off from that"
After dispersing his energy, various charcoals then fell from the sky as one of them particular was Asuto who hasn't turned into burned object at all
"This guy's body is something else" commented Hibiki as he saw Asuto's body was still in tact
After a while Asuto then slowly stood up from the ground as he glared towards both Hibiki and Kaido, completely aiming to start a next round of deadly match
But before they could launch an attack, a sudden change happened in the device as it started accumulating life force around the area which caused a sudden tear in space to appear
Seeing this Asuto changed his position as he arrived instantly in front of the device with an intention to guard it
At this moment everyone who was once unconscious suddenly started to wake up upon noticing a dangerous life force emerging from somewhere unknown
Even it's strength was undintifiable for all of them
Soon a humanoid entity soon emerge from such tear as it showed it's whole body towards the people present
Unexpectedly upon seeing this entity Asuto then bowed respectfully
"I congratulate your freedom Lord Zerathras"
