As the surroundings shook from Leviathan's display of power, Ren stood his ground, not moving an inch. Although Leviathans outburst told Ren that he couldn't win head on, he still felt relieve inside. If Leviathan was this strong, as well as composed, Ren had no chance of winning. But seeing that Leviathan explodes so easily, Ren just had to wait for Leviathan to make a mistake.
"YOU MERE MORTAL, A BEING MADE OF FLESH AND BLOOD DARE TO CALL ME A COWARD? YOU CANNOT FATHOM WHAT I AM CAPABLE OF."
Leviathan's voice boomed in the surroundings, shaking the trees violently. As Leviathan begins to levitate upwards, he looked down on Ren from above. *Swoosh* Leviathan swiped his arm, sending down impending doom towards Ren.
"C'mon..."
Ren hurriedly put out the fires on his body, before narrowly teleporting away. *BOOM* As the attack reached where Ren was, it continued down into the earth. Ren looked at the dark pit in place of where he stood, slightly stunned at the firepower of Leviathan.
"COME, RAT. FACE ME IN COMBAT."
*SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH* A flurry of attacks flew towards Ren, slashing up everything in their path. Trees fell, ground split and dust flew. As the two continued to exchange blows, the forestry and ground around them gradually disappeared.
The more Ren dodged Leviathan's attacks, the more agitated Leviathan became. His arms began swinging faster and faster, and his attacks became stronger with each swing. Despite Leviathan's best attempts, Ren continued to dodge his attacks.
"STOP RUNNING COWARD!"
Irritation and anger filled Leviathans mind, making him push his body's limits further. As he attacked faster and faster, he failed to notice the diminishing power behind his attacks. *Boom* *Boom* *boom* The attacks kept striking the ground with immense force, but it was getting weaker by the second.
'King, why are his attacks getting weaker?'
Ren continued to teleport around, observing the attacks from Leviathan with great interest. The weakening of the attacks grew exponentially, and cuts it made on the ground became more and more shallow.
'Ren, his body is breaking, he's already overused it.'
As Leviathan continues to swing his arms, blood leaked out of his nose like a faucet. *Drip, Drip* The blood dyed the ground beneath Leviathan, but he continued to ignore it, sending out one attack after another. *swoosh* Leviathan squeezed out another attack, straight towards Ren.
"Huuuu..."
*Boom* Ren stood in front of the flurry, his arms raised to cover his face. *Boom, Boom, Boom* As the last attack from Leviathan hits Ren, he stood there, not moving an inch. Seeing this, Leviathan became even further enraged.
"YOU ANT!!!!"
Swinging his left arm down once more, Leviathan tried to send out another attack. *Swoo-* *Crack* As Leviathan heard Elios's left arm shatter, he came to his senses. Leviathan looked at the bloody mess around him, disbelieve overcame him.
"It broke with this little power...? I had higher hopes Elios..."
Leviathan looked at Ren, who was charging forward, red aura covered both his fists. Knowing that his fun was over, Leviathan took one last look around, enjoying the beauty of nature once more. But as he looked around, he noticed a small figure hiding behind a tree. When Leviathan realized who it was, his expression morphed into a sinister smile.
"HeHEHEHEHEHE, HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!"
With his last remaining arm, Leviathan attacked once more, crippling another limb. *Swoosh* As the attack whizzed by Ren, he turned to see it's destination. Suddenly, time seemed to slow down, and Ren watched as Leviathan's attack flew towards Nina.
"NO!"
Calculating his next shadow jump to be next to Nina, Ren was prepared to teleport away. But before he could, Leviathan's entire body lit up the surroundings once more, preventing Ren's jump. As the light faded away, Elios's body fell onto the ground with a thump, not a sign of life was present. Ren tried to teleport again, but he was too late, he watched as the invisible slash cut Nina in half.
