Chapter 59 - Chapter 59 - Reborn [2]

Valier POV:

I was currently in a world where the sky was red and the ground was black; the entire world was filled to the brim with weapons of all assortments. However, they were all comprised of the same material, the material I formed when creating weapons.

"So you're the guy who took over my body? I can't believe it took me this long to get an opportunity to create this opportunity, I have to admit that you're tough. It took me years to create a situation like this, and even then, I needed you to be in a state where you were half dead."

I looked to my right, a boy who had the exact same body as me was opposite me. He grabbed the nearest blade and inspected it.

"If I kill you, I get my body back, if you kill me, you get to fully manifest your mind. And you'll probably develop a more stable mind."

He pointed a black Katana at me.

"Look at your body, it's the old you. Take a good look at both my body and yours, it'll be the last time you see them both."

I looked at my body, it was my old body. The body I had fought in for most of my life, the body I had driven to its limits. The body that had slain those who were worshiped as deities.

"Pffft."

A laugh came out of me, after all, how could I not laugh?

"What's so funny?"

Valier seemed to be genuinely confused, although he seemed to be aware of some things, he had clearly not seen my memories.

"Nothing, it's just that the notion of you being able to cause any serious damage to me is hilarious. I have brought nations to their end, I have taken the lives of an incomprehensible number of people, I was the embodiment of death. I wiped out several cities worth of people before my fucking balls dropped. Do you honestly think a piss ant like you can actually win? I know I sound conceited, but it's the truth."

I smiled before continuing, grabbing the nearest weapon which happened to be a halberd.

"You. Can't. Beat. Me."

"Stop bull shitting, even if you were that strong, I have every piece of battle experience that you gained while in this world. And in this place, our stats are the same. In fact, we can't use magic or Demonic Abilities."

"Even better, you think I've been using every martial art I know? I couldn't actually use, or rather, remember most of my fighting styles until now, probably due to your existence fucking with me. You're probably the reason I had those terrible visions, those headaches, and those odd times where I'd show emotion. Man those were really annoying times, I can't wait for you to finally piss off."

Spinning my halberd around I approached him, he suddenly extended his arm and a blast of fire spewed from it. I quickly dodged it and looked at him while confused.

"Did I say WE can't use magic? My bad. Actually, it's just you who can't use it, it's just one of the perks of this being MY body."

"Don't worry about it, you'd still lose even if you had access to every attribute on the planet."

I dashed towards him, he used his sword to attack my shoulder, however, I spun my halberd and used its reverse side to send an attack to his gut. My attack knocked the wind out of him, I spun my halberd around several times and slammed its blunt side into his face.

"Oh come on, put up a fight."

He swung his Katana at my throat but I sent a palm strike to his face, then I sent an attack to his neck with the bottom of my halberd. These attacks made him drop his sword and stumble back a few meters.

"You... know how to use that? How come? I've never seen you use anything like that!"

I laughed slightly.

"There isn't a weapon in creation that I don't know how to use, and even if there was, I'd be able to create a fighting style suited for it almost immediately."

"You know, I've always hated talented fucks like you, you don't understand that everything you are is just based off of luck."

"You think I didn't work hard? While children my age spent their time crying, I was training to the point where my life was at risk. While children my age spent their time sulking, I was exterminating cities. While others were having mood swings I was being taught how to kill the world's greatest hero. You just can't compare to me, Valier."

Valier grabbed another sword and began to channel his Mana through it, my eyes widened slightly. I hadn't actually tried running my Mana through my weapons yet, that was because, although every weapon could be coated in Mana, not every weapon could endure having Mana flown through it, and many had horrible conductivity.

However, the sword that was made of the same material as my weapons, was flowing Mana through it with perfect efficiency, not wasting anything. His sword began to glow a bright red.

"I saw you fight that Damien guy, I remember that he was able to burn right through you by causing his sword to heat up with pure grip strength. Unfortunately, I'm not that strong, but I can do this instead."

I used flash step, however, he countered with his own version of it. We were evenly matched in speed, but due to my weapon's reach being better, I was able to stab his shoulder. Due to his unfamiliarity with being stabbed in the shoulder, he dropped his sword, it began to rapidly cool down as there was no longer any Mana pouring into it.

"Die."

I pierced his heart with my halberd and he collapsed to the ground.
