"[Wandering Abomination]!" Draxus activated the soul that controls both [Time] and [Dimension]. Audrey had once seen Draxus in that form, much to her shock before that time, she was scared on how to approach a battle against a person who can twist the laws of dimension at will. She decided to attempt bombarding him with magic in the middle of changing his form. She blasted fire magic, seared him with converged light, dropped giant metal spheres and stalactites, and even used her full metallic form in an attempt to damage Draxus who is trying to change form. But all her attacks were rendered useless. The second they reach a certain distance from Draxus, her attacks stopped moving even closer. "A barrier?! What kind...?" Audrey analyzed the barrier and noticed that something was strange. But before she could make amends, the two weapons Draxus equipped changed into the swords of [Time] and [Dimension]. "Shit..." Audrey cursed as she now understood what Draxus did. She expanded the dimensional space between him and her, ensuring that magic attacks won't reach him. "Now, let us battle with maximum power for both sides." With a smile that's ready for battle, Draxus once again revealed his two different colored eyes and hair. He made multiple slices in the space using the sword of time, turning them into delayed attacks. Audrey hasn't seen the attack before, but she quickly understood the idea. She immediately attempted to avoid the trajectory of the delayed slashed as she knew what was about to happen. "[Expand]!" The delayed slashed expanded in dimension and now positioned itself as lasers that have to be avoided constantly. Draxus spread it out in all directions, effectively cutting Audrey's magic attacks, showing that she wasted mana to prevent a transformation. "Guh... I knew you have nastier tactics than this. Now that I think about it, I never saw you use a soul against Keith or Wesley." Audrey complained a little as she was still struck at multiple lethal points after Draxus expanded the slashes. "Ahahaha! You're right, they've yet to face a soul in a one on one battle. You get to take the first experience on this endeavor. However, you wasted your mana on purpose did you?" Audrey smiled, as she knew that it was about time for the third [Eternal Regeneration], the second one happened right after Draxus activated the sequence for the soul. The second it reached the three minute mark, both smiled as they formed a stance.
Audrey thought about certain things while preparing to fight something beyond her normal capacity. "Guess everything will be for naught if I lose here now. [Divine Essence]! [Goddess of Magic]! [Phoenix Rebirth]!" Two extreme powers, one from a half-reawakened goddess, and the other is from a soul fragment of the prime existence.
One thing Audrey has to worry about is to constantly avoid the invisible slashes, she would feel massive pressure on the part that's about to get hit when she gets close to one and has a narrow time to avoid it while dodging Draxus's attacks. When she looked at Draxus however, he passed through all the slashes that he made without taking damage. "!!!" Audrey managed to block the attack with an invisible barrier. Her shield wasn't able to reach on time because Draxus widened the dimension just enough to throw off Audrey's physical precision, but she was able to swing her sword normally and attempted to make a counterattack instead. To her surprise however, it was blocked by thin air. She received one painful slash to her left shoulder. Her arm wasn't cut off however as she barely avoided fatal damage. It was then she realized that the delayed slashes, can also block her attacks. She dashed back and swiftly distanced herself while desperately avoiding the slashes Draxus made. Draxus, took notice that she's trying to recover swiftly, he decided to let it be for a moment as he prepared another issue for her. "[Kingfisher Bladework Fantasia] [Stellar], [Convex Star]." She only saw that ability once, and it was when Draxus used it against Remuel. "Ghh!" Audrey left her position before she could attempt to make a counterattack of magic, she needed to be in a position where she won't be attacked. "[Fragmented Dimension], isn't something you can dodge easily you know?" Audrey was listening, she hasn't heard anything about Draxus's new abilities that is perfect for enemies. "You learned all of these in your vacation have you?" Audrey questioned Draxus on the ideas of dangerous usage of [Dimension] and [Time Magic]. "Of course, it was in my concept and theory books in my personal library. Glad they were all safely moved without being detected by anybody." "Heh, guess I won't hold back then. [Blood Magic]!" Draxus took notice in that instant, his blood is starting to circulate irregularly to the point of bursting out from his body. Audrey had fully recovered due to the fifth [Eternal Regeneration], and timed her blood magic just after the sixth minute. "Ghh! [Imaginary Time]!" Draxus disappeared from his position entirely. Without any target, Audrey's internal attack using blood magic became useless. "Tch, I knew he'd have something prepared against that." She clicked her tongue in annoyance, but she felt relieved after noticing that the slashes had disappeared. Or so she thought. "[Twisted Universe]!" Both gravity and force had disappeared in the arena. A crushing grip surrounded her and had to resist it with everything in her power as a goddess. She tried to jump forward, but he movement were completely erratic that she moved all over the place and back instead. Draxus then appeared in a position where he's seemed mangled but attached completely. "This magic is crazy Drax, are you really making me fight an impossible battle?!" "Ho? Is that you giving up? It would definitely make things easier if you did but, you will regret it if you do." "I know... But I do have some ideas." Draxus then attacked a different piece of space using his sword. The sword disappeared and reappeared right next to Audrey, prompting her to dodge somewhere. But with the dimension, force, and gravity messed up, she is completely unsure where to dodge, as moving around might place herself on the sword painfully. To which she did. "Ghh! I swear this is really annoying!" Audrey used her magic to counterattack, and activated the full awakening.
Her clothes hid the marks but, in her neck, runes could be seen along with the cape with symbols of runes in the inner side. "[Theory Form], [Ruined Haven]!" Audrey possessed a massive pool of mana, surpassing even Draxus, but she understood that there are risks in using other things such as [Theory Forms] of magic. Ruined Haven is a new ability she learned in the Fae Realm, under the subject of [Celestial Magic]. While [Twisted Universe] a final tactic ability in the dimension magic of the [Wandering Abomination] is used as an ability to disorient the dimensions of a set area. The effects are permanent until it is directly fixed by the user. [Ruined Haven] destroys any form of magic that has been used to create a change. In [Normal Usage], or even [Concept Form], it would be too weak to use it against Draxus. But in [Theory Form] it would cancel the [Twisted Universe] entirely. In that moment, the final dose of [Eternal Regeneration] is about to arrive. Draxus smiled as Audrey managed to get through everything in the [Wandering Abomination] with just sheer knowledge and proper usage of magic. She was brought into multiple fatal situations during the last ten minutes, nearly dying in each minute timed with [Eternal Regeneration] and making a fatal counterattack to Draxus just after one, forcing him to focus more on using his time magic on reversing his wounds. "Truly impressive display Audrey, but at the last [Eternal Regeneration], I will end it with this." Draxus brought out three cards. "[Moon], [Temperance], and [Tower]!?" Audrey covered herself in a powerful barrier, as a converged laser was poured into both Draxus and Audrey altogether. "[Concentration shall be peaked, and to challenge you, is my goal]. Let's do this! [Stardust Destroyer]!"
Audrey wouldn't be harmed by a weakened effect of the tower card, Draxus only used it as a diversion to prevent Audrey from bombarding him while he's changing form and activating a new tarot card at the same time. "Clear mind, and one goal, to test you."
The last [Eternal Regeneration] has been given to them. From here on out, their recovery depends on their magic capabilities.
Draxus stood with one sword in his hands, while Audrey stood there prepared to unleash the maximum potential of her magic.
