What that being told him was the thing he desired the most which was Power.
He wanted more power than what he had, his greed knew no bounds, seeking more power to be more absurd than he is.
All of that to achieve his desired Utopia, a new universe with him and Asagi as the rulers who will bring new life to the new universe.
He chose her because she had the strongest and highest spiritual energy in history, he hadn't seen anyone like her at all and that was what he wanted from the woman who would share him the new universe.
Because, how a woman could bare his children if she didn't have a strong spiritual energy?
He was strong and his soul was also strong and if he tried to mate with a normal woman, she would explode from how much power his sperm had.
The fuck, is his sperm superman or something?!
(Sorry these were the author's internal thoughts 😓)
So a woman with very high energy is a must for his plan to succeed.
Besides, the fuse of his and her energy will be the trigger for the new universe.
And that being told him that he/she could grant him more power to achieve his purpose and what he desired the most.
He didn't suspect that being's words at all as he believed them. Not based on logical reasons but based on his instincts.
And he believed in them so much.
So with that said, he accepted the deal with that being.
Yes, a deal. In exchange for power he have to kill a certain person for him and that person was Austin.
The being told him that there was a traveller from another world who came here to this world and he wanted to kill that person but it couldn't because it can't interfere with the mortal world or there will be huge consequences it can't bear.
Edwen wondered what were those consequences but he didn't care about them or even think why it wanted to kill that person because he only wanted power to achieve his purpose.
Besides, it served him that this person was the same person who he was watching from before. So it's a win-win.
After that, the being gave him the power he wanted which was a single ability but this ability was so dangerous and powerful if used right.
Knowing what this ability is doing, Edwen smiled evilly as he gained another Trump Card in his arsenal.
And now back to the present, he enjoyed the look on Austin so much after declaring his true identity and who he was.
Austin on the other hand was talking to Freya through his connection.
'Hey Freya, What is he talking about? How could he know about me?!' he asked as he thought that no one would know about him unless he said it.
[I even don't know myself, I didn't expect that at all!] She was also shocked and surprised and began thinking of how something like that could happen. She was sure that no one in this world would know about him, after all, there was no one with an ability to read the souls and even if there was, Austin's soul was protected by her and that tree inside him.
Many possibilities ran in her mind but nothing came to light.
'Something came to your mind?'
[No, nothing. But give me some time, I'm sure I will figure it out eventually.]
'Haah, okay. I have to deal with him in meantime then.'
Then he cut their connection.
And now looking at Edwen who was smiling, Austin became serious and his eyes glowed before he disappeared and in the next moment appeared in front of Edwen and punched him in the face.
Edwen's smile disappeared immediately and tried to block the punch but it was too late as it already connected with his face sending him back and crashing into the stairs of leading to the throne.
BOOOOOOOOOOMM!!!
"Stop smiling and let's get this over, I don't have much time for you." Austin said while his body was flickering with golden lightening.
Rumble! Rumble!
Swoosh!!
He moved at the speed of light startling Edwen who was already regenerated and standing up.
The speed wasn't something he could keep up with, so he didn't react fast enough to dodge Austin's attacks.
BAAAAAAAAAM!!!
DUNNNNN!!!!
Punch after punch after punch after punch Austin disfigured Edwen's whole body turning it into a bloody mess.
There were many holes in his body as well but in the next moment all those holes were healed due to his super regeneration abilities.
"Tsk, that's why I hate vampires." Austin muttered in low voice but Edwen heard him making him smile again.
Then in the next second, Edwen started his attack by a roundhouse kick at Austin, but he blocked it and countered with a punch in the face and the chest and ending it with an elbow punch sending him back.
Those punches definitely broke his bones, but were healed again.
"It's useless what you are doing, I'm a vampire king, the epitome of all vampires so something like those injuries you inflicted on me isn't enough to take me down. You need to fight harder, Aus~"
Austin had a disgusted face when he heard that and felt like goosebumps running throughout all of his body making him shudder.
Austin expected him to know his name since Edwen was watching him and made some information gathering about him. Although he wouldn't find anything at all like his past and his roots but at least he could get his name, right?
"Do not ever say my name like that, it's disgusting."
"HAHAHAHAHAHA THAT'S SO FUNNY! Now, let's get serious, shall we?" Once said that, both Austin and Edwen moved in a speed that broke the sound barrier and fought each other.
Austin with Taekwondo and Edwen with his Fists were exchanging blows after blows that caused many disruptions around.
Every blow generated a strong blow of wind that left sharp cuts on the floor and the huge pillars of marble.
BOOOOOOOM!!!
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMM!!!!!
Lightning was flickering around Austin's body making him faster and stronger while Edwen used the same but it was dark lightening. He could use Demonic Energy after all.
Instantly, their speed increased several times and became unprecedented that the world around them seemed to move in slow motion.
And when Edwen and Austin were about to punch each other, Austin changed the trajectory of the punch and Edwen found himself kissing the floor unable to process what had happened.
'W-What? I'm sure that I hit him, why am I on the floor like that? And damn it, it hurts as well.'
This was a Feint-Hook, Muay Thai.
Now, it's another type of Martial Arts. Because Austin in the past period didn't sit idly rather he was also training, in another type of Martial Arts to increase his techniques and skills.
And as a genius, he learned faster than normal person and understood the moves and the techniques of Muay Thai.
At that moment when his Feint-Hook was about to make contact with Edwen's face, Austin infused it with a high concentrated mana making a big impact that led him kissing the floor like that with blood coming out of his head.
But then...
BOOOOOOOM!!!
Suddenly, Edwen's energy flared at dangerous degree that the ground and the air were shaking.
Austin immediately jumped back and took a stance ready for what was coming.
Edwen stood up while being surrounded with red energy that had black outlines on it. His eyes were glowing red blood and his slits narrowed.
His injury already healed but his top clothes were shattered from the previous fight, so he grabbed it and tore it apart revealing his tone muscles that were toned and hard.
'What is that?!' Austin wondered as he looked at Edwen's energy that suddenly blackened and the pressure that he felt earlier from it disappeared like nothing.
But he knew, he knew that there is something dangerous about this change, so before he do anything, Austin's eyes glowed and a magic circle appeared on his hand that he put in front of him, then.
[Ultra Blast]
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A beam of extreme fire that could turn everything into ash was shot from that magic circle toward Edwen in a very unimaginable speed that it reached him it a second.
But then...
SHEEEENG!!
Austin heard a sound of metal being hammered.
It was for a moment and in the next moment the unbelievable happened.
"!!!"
