* FWOOSH *
Adrian and Odin charged at each other, Odin now aided by his spear in his hands. Odin thrusted hi spear at Adrian's head aiming to pierce his head but Adrian saw that coming and moved his head to the side, dodging Odin's attack. Seeing that Adrian had dodged his initial attack, Odin swung his spear to the side where Adrian had dodged.
Adrian ducked, his years of martial arts training that he had absorbed from Bang and literally the entire world of One Punch Man kicking in. His palms flowed, redirecting each spear thrust that was thrown by Odin with a relative difficulty.
While Adrian was now a master martial artist because of all the experiences he had absorbed, Odin was no slouch either. In fact ,Odin was still a far better martial artist than Adrian, the only thing that was holding him down right now was his old age
Adrian's palms suddenly lashed, going more aggressive and aiming for Odin's midsection as he switched from Bang's fighting style to Bomb's. His palm landed, causing Odin to grunt in pain as he slashed horizontally with his spear, forcing Adrian to back up.
"Who and what are you!?" Odin questioned, he had never come across anyone with energy like this. His energy was dark but not demonic and looking closely….this being didn't seem to have a soul at all.
'I guess he is still a better fighter than the current me after all.' Adrian thought after being forced to back away from Odin's earlier slash.
"Knowing what or who I am wont change a single thing, Odin." Adrian said as he smiled.
"Just get back to fighting!" Adrian shouted as he flashed towards Odin, thrusting a fist out this time at Odin's head.
* BOOM *
* CRACK *
Something cracked as Adrian's fist didn't get to even touch Odin as a golden rune instantly appeared in the way of Adrian's fists. Before he could pull back his fists the force of his fist was reflected back at him as his gut sinked in, showing a fist imprint.
'S-Shit im pretty strong aren't I.' Adrian thought in pain.
Brushing off the sudden pain, Adrian thrusted his palm out again, this time mirroring how wind moved with his nether energy and copying one of Bomb's moves as his palm landed on Odin's spear.
'Atomic Split.'
The spear in Odin's hand trembled as Adrian's palm landed on it, his nether energy erupting out of his palm like a wild storm, trying to shred apart anything in its way. Gungir didn't receive so much as a single slash but Odin's hands received multiple shallow and deep cuts on his arms.
Without trying to back away, Odin muttered something underneath his breath as Gungir started to glow in a white holy light before he thrusted it multiple times at Adrian. Adrian managed to dodge some of them, the ones that landed left large holes in his body, the speed of Odin's thrusts suddenly increasing significantly and each one that landed left a wound that was hard to heal.
'He did something.' Adrian thought as his mind completely ignored the pain he was feeling and moved rapidly to figure out what caused the speed and power of his attacks to suddenly increase.
'He should be low on Odinforce, from what I can remember his Odinforce isn't unlimited and can be depleted he should have even less now that he is this old. In fact, this was around the time he would go into his Odinsleep... .Odin this, Odin that, isnt this guy a bit narcissistic.'
'These wounds aren't lethal, he isn't using the Odinforce, but whatever he is using is slowing down my regeneration speed.' Adrian thought.
'That first ability…..why isn't he using it again.' Odin thought as he remembered the first ability that Adrian had used on him that took nearly a quarter of his remaining Odinforce to stop one of them.
'It seemed like whatever ability that was can only be used a certain amount of times or needs certain conditions to use it.' Odin mused
Odin's eyes narrowed, the divine glow of Gungnir illuminating his features as he advanced once more. Thrusting the spear forward with incredible speed, the glow on Gungir increasing along with the speed and power.
Adrian barely managed to twist sideways, feeling the rush of air as Gungnir passed dangerously close
'What the FUCK is happening!?' Adrian thought in shock.
'What is he using now!? Why is he suddenly getting more powerful!?'
Adrian backed away, Odin following closely as the speed of Odin's thrusts only increased, forcing Adrian to focus on dodging as he couldn't even block any of Odin's hits right now. Whatever energy Odin was using right now, it wasn't the odinforce. If he could use the Odinforce this freely at his current age this embodiment of Adrian's will would have long been destroyed.
Whatever Odin was using right now seemed to slow down my regeneration speed and severely increase his attack speed and power where if before they weren't lethal now taking one hit meant losing half of his body from the pure force it dished out. Losing half of his body would affect Adrian's fighting capabilities but it wouldn't kill him, the Odinforce was what really made Odin such a dangerous god. If these blows were instead replaced with blows backed by just as much Odinforce, Adrian would have died in one hit.
Whatever energy Odin was using right now, while powerful, would only kill this embodiment of his will if his entire body was destroyed.
Odin followed up without pause, spinning the spear in a fluid motion as he unleashed a rapid succession of strikes. Each attack was a testament to his expertise, faster than the last, this new energy empowered his physical power greatly, space literally being sliced due to how fast he was now moving. Adrian realized that he had to go on the offensive before he was overwhelmed.
Adrian executed a series of quick, unpredictable movements. He dashed to the side, then feinted back toward Odin, aiming an explosive palm strike at the god's ribs. However, this time, Odin anticipated the move. With uncanny reflexes, he sidestepped and retaliated with a powerful backhand of Gungnir aimed at Adrian's face.
* CRACK *
The spear connected with Adrian's shoulder instead, destroying space as it literally destroyed the entire right side of Adrian's body. Leaving him with one leg, one arm and only part of his face left.
Blood dripped like ink on a canvas as Adrian laughed, part of his face completely destroyed giving him a horrifying look. There was a searing pain radiating from where his right side had been, a dark crimson void where his limbs had been.
'And this is old Odin .' Adrian thought as he laughed, his teeth now completely red from blood.
'But it is my fault, I could have killed him by just spamming Concept Eradication. But I tried to defeat him without killing him.' Adrian thought as he sighed.
Suddenly the space around Adrian started to tremble as Adrian just stood and stared blankly.
'Why am I fighting so...controlled so, tame.' Adrian thought as the trembling increased
'Why am I only targeting Odin and not the entire Asgard.'
Odin started panting, sweat visible on his brows. He was running dangerously low on odinforce so he started using one of his more powerful runes that were specialised against killing demons. He didn't know if it would work since Odin was sure Adrian was not a demon but it had proved him wrong and worked just as well as it would on any demon.
The trembling increased as space started to crack as if it would shatter. Adrian started pulling on his massive nether energy reserves, his half grin widening as he raised his only remaining hand and muttered.
"[Concept Eradication: Asgard]"
Odin's eyes widened, he didn't know the exact details of Adrian's ability, but based on its name it wasn't exactly hard to figure out. It was an attack that was aimed at the very concept of Asgard.
The trees around them began to warp, the ground beneath them shaking violently as the entire reality of Asgard began to fracture. Space tore apart, the buildings started to crumble and even the people of the realm started to die, their bodies folding in on itself, crushing them.
Odin had already teleported to where his wife was, leaving Adrian alone and leaving Heimdall to continue fighting Draalok alone. Adrian now left with half of his body, maxed the output of his ability, not at all trying to control it as its purpose was to literally destroy Asgard. He knew it wouldn't actually be enough to destroy Asgard, especially with him only having the embodiment of his will right now and not his full power.
But it would definitely cause some serious damage to the realm and could potentially kill everyone in the realm below a certain level of power.
Adrian grunted as his arm and legs started to regrow, the small part of his face that had been destroyed also regrowing. After he was fully healed Adrian flew towards where he remembered Draalok was so he could help him defeat Heimdall and then find Odin.
'Odin's mind is too much of a treasure trove to pass up.' Adrian thought.
After about 30 seconds of flying, Adrian finally reached where Draalok was.However what he was seeing right now was different from what he was expecting, though he wasn't complaining.
Panting and bleeding all over was the tired body of Draalok, in one of his hands was the staff that Adrian had given to him before he evolved and in his other hand was the decapitated head of Heimdall, his eyes wide with horror. His headless body laid on the ground, blood spewing from where his head should have been.
'I guess this isn't too surprising, Draalok had the upper hand in the majority of their fight and his ability is pretty strong.' Adrian thought, happy to see such potential.
Draalok noticed Adrian approaching and asked, "Master, may I convert this human into a minion."
'A minion?' Adrian wondered in surprise
'Oh, right, the staff I created for him could do that.'
"Go right ahead, Draalok." Adrian said as he smiled.
