Chapter 3 - A Story of Nihility; the human who fought Nihilism

The people of the many worlds have long forgotten the fact that the passage of time differs in the perspective of the Many Eyes. These creatures are existent & nonexistent lifeforms that is made through an Alephanullmeric Multitude Structure and a Series of Elemental Magic.

The lower beings of the many worlds will naturally think that a day of the year has passed whereas the Many Eyes experiences a thousand of years in just a span of a day.

<{300 Dimensional Years Ago}>

At the Endless Gates of the Holy & Unholy Abyss, a place where the Many Eyes frequently emerges; a woman who was sitting at her throne yawns in apathy.

"(Yawn) He sure is doing his work too seriously, that workaholic bastard... (Sigh) I wish him to at least let one of them to take a slip on his trials."

The Holy & Unholy Abyss of the Trinity was renowned as the "Realm of Trials" by the many worlds, in which those who've succeed the trials of the Many Eyes will be able to witness the appearance and glory of their Creator. It was similar to the "Plane of Trials" where it tests those who dares to challenge the plane and help them become strong and overcome their trials; whereas the realm tests those who are worthy, powerful, and exceptional whilst causing an inevitable death to those who've failed.

But despite the inevitable death that was stated, one of the entities who guards the sacred place was known for sparing the people who have dared to challenge her; the Entus of Nihility.

Although it is rumored that she spares those who were able to challenge her, it was only the truth to those who've entertained her or amused her by their spirit.

Many of the people didn't know that the Holy & Unholy Abyss of the Trinity are consists with Three Passages;

The First Passage is named as the "Land of the Dawn" or "Plane of Beginning"; this place is protected by Ente who was known as the Eye of Beginning. It was said that those who challenged him for the first time greets them with an etiquette that is prior to their knowledge, introducing his name before engaging them in a Battle of Life & Death.

The Second Passage is named as the "Land of Oblivion" or "Plane of Nihility"; this place is protected by Entus who was known as the Eye of Nihility. It was said that those who challenged her are captivated by her beauty at first glance, unknowingly being seduced by her aura that leaves them defenseless; suffering in the most unimaginable way if they fall from her test.

The Third Passage is named as the "Land of Actuality" or "Plane of Reality"; this place is protected by Etulos who was known as the Eye of Reality. It was said that he was the most serious Manye out of the Trinity and the strongest entity from the Many Eyes; only sparing those who didn't waver from his presence, even a single time.

"There's not much to do when he's too serious... Should I kill some time by looking to the many worlds...?"

Entus muttered,

The Many Eyes that are roaming around the firmaments of her passage became concerned after hearing her, leading them to whisper towards one another.

As the Many Eyes whispers repeatedly while hiding from the firmaments of the passage and reality, Entus who lifted her arms towards her front; touches the space of reality that is seem like air to the others perspective. At that time, a small ripple distorted the space of reality, similar to a wave of waters; then, a crack that sounded like the fabrics of glass created a small fissure of space; connecting itself to the many worlds like a clairvoyance with the Many Eyes as its medium.

Thereafter, a female human who wields a unique sword style piques her interest.

Entus watched over the female human who's currently engaging in a war from an opposing nation; brandishing her sword with beauty and etiquette. It was a delicate and amazing feat for someone who is able to use it in a real combat.

However, she noticed that her movements consist with many flaws that creates unusual openings in a span of a millisecond. A normal or average human will not be able to discover such flaw but people who are talented or born geniuses will be able to notice such flaws.

"Fufufu~ should I make her a guardian of her world? or my servant?"

After quietly laughing on the sight of such an interesting human, Entus who was watching through the created fissure, increases its size and thoroughly connected it through the world by a fissure.

As Entus arrives to the current world, the female human who separated herself from her army and also the one who piqued Entus' interest; stood at the center of a barren battlefield. Entus decided to approach her as quietly as possible and without hostility; making the female human to be at ease.

That is what she thought...

When the two faced each other, the female human who was able to sense her at about 3ft startled her and made her immediately unsheathes her sword towards Entus; pointing towards her chest.

Entus was surprised and puzzled from the female human's action that it made her stare at the tip of her sword.

"Who the hell are you...?"

Says the female human who grimly asked, making Entus smile in an unconscious manner.

"I am-"

"Are you a demon!?"

Even before Entus was able to utter a word, the female human who yelled at her made her speechless.

Entus was a bit irritated after being called a demon out of nowhere. But she tries to restrain herself due to her understanding of humans; a very fragile existence to the many races.

"I am not-"

"I see... so you are the demonkin's trump card!"

After numerous attempts of persuading the human to open an opportunity for conversation, Entus who was losing her patience; accidentally emit an aura of malicious intent.

The female human then thrusts her sword at instantaneous speed after sensing the aura of malicious intent; it was faster than the blink of an eye that no normal human can evade. However, Entus was able to avoid it with ease.

"Hoh, she's faster than I thought."

Entus muttered as she smiles in excitement.

The female human was surprised when her attack was completely evaded by a complete stranger hence distances herself as she enters a stance that surprised Entus.

"E-Eh!? A-An Iaido!?"

Entus stuttered as she witnesses a familiar stance.

- Iaido, a sword technique which was commonly known by one-handed swordsmen. It is a sleight of hand that quickly draws one's sword in response towards the surroundings. It was also said that it has the probability of cutting the fabrics of reality from those who've reached an enlightenment -

Entus was unable to hide her smile towards the human who uses such a stance that made her anticipate the human's growth as her entertainment.

Subsequently, the two clashed in an unexplainably fast motion after Entus manifested her Scythe.

Upon the 3rd collision of their weapons, Entus who was observing the human was able to discern her perspective by only staring at her eye; "glancing towards one's fighting style and adapting from their battle". Entus also discovered that the female human plans to disarm her weapon to conclude the battle, she then smirked at her as she whispers the plan of the female human.

"Heh~ so you're planning to disarm me, huh...?"

Upon hearing Entus' whisper, the human who was patiently waiting to disarm her hesitated for about a second and performed a weapon disarmament in an abrupt manner. However, Entus had already estimated her action and executes a spin along with her Scythe; disarming both of their weapon towards the sky.

"Fufufu, it's done."

Entus praised herself with confidence.

Nonetheless, Entus had overlooked the conclusion of their battle despite knowing that she also excels at close-quarter-combat. While looking at the sky, she noticed that only her weapon was sent flying whilst the human had her sword spinning towards their front; hovering in elegance.

"Are you kidding me...?"

Entus awkwardly smiled in awe.

In that inevitable situation, the female human who was in a stance of Iaido have quickly grabbed her weapon and sheathed it; having a thought that she finally found an opening, she then performed a quick draw towards Entus' neck that almost influenced the essence of reality.

Entus on the other hand, performed a limbo to dodge an instantaneous attack; smiling as she evades a dangerous attack and made the human speechless. She then retaliated by kicking the female human through her left side that was immediately block by her quick response; catching the weapon that returned after a minute in the air.

The battle continued for about half an hour with Entus dodging in unusual forms; flustering the female human who's starting to lose her focus. She then unsheathes her second sword; displaying a sword technique of dual wielding.

Despite using two swords and becoming much faster, Entus was still able to dodge all her attacks with ease; leaving the female human no choice but to use all her might.

As the female human unleashes a third sword, Entus who was having fun dodging her attacks was taken by surprise; making her leave a large opening for the human to attack. At that time, the human was able to injure Entus on the side of her waist; and due to that amazing feat, Entus who was speechless after the attack and stood in amazement was overflowed with excitement; accidentally speaking in their tongues.

"Hcus na gnitseretni namuh..."

After uttering their tongues, three of the Many Eyes appeared behind her while the others emerged from the firmaments.

The voices of the Many Eyes began to resonate across the world as they spoke; unleashing a heavy atmosphere for every word they utter. Nevertheless, Entus prevented it by absorbing the resonation within her presence and to not disturb the world.

Meanwhile, the female human who was able to hear the utterance of every Manye near her began to fall on her knees. However, she mustered all her strength to stand up against the heavy atmosphere made by the Many Eyes.

The human then discovered that the woman she's fighting was not that of a demonkin; but a renowned entity from the legends of the many worlds.

Entus seeing her perseverance only made her fall further on the depths of amazement and pleasure; causing her to make a grim smile towards the human.

"What is your name, human?"

After hearing Entus from asking her name, the human who's enduring the heavy atmosphere answered in honor.

"I-Iaisha... Iaisha Arcanum, a swordswoman who will defeat you, Eye of Nihility; Entus!"

The human smiled as she stances herself and answered Entus. On the other hand, Entus was relieved that she finally answers her.

"Iaisha... huh? Fufufu~ for you to finally answer me. I guess it's time, to settle this..."

The two clashed again,

Despite the heavy atmosphere that is surrounding them, the human Iaisha was able to maintain her nimble speed whilst moving much slower than before. However, her persistence to dodge Entus' attacks prolongs the situation of the battle that will end up injuring herself.

Noticing that Iaisha's persistence and indomitable will are more than capable of that of a normal human, Entus decided to confuse her instead to end the battle.

At that time, Entus attacked her with enough strength to distance themselves; Iaisha knew that there was some kind of plan that is going to happen after receiving such strong blow and rushed back to immediately shorten their distance. However, as she does, Entus who was despite holding a Scythe was in a stance of Iaido that made the human flustered.

"Heh, an opening."

Entus smirked from her reaction.
