Chereads / The Destiny's Path after My Reincarnation / Chapter 31 - Battle of Memory

Chapter 31 - Battle of Memory

SWOOOSSHH!!

Black cloud engulfed Sylias until she disappeared in it, this was an exclusive defensive spell for the Abyssal Hunter class, upon activating it, big magic circle will appear on the ground and exploded instantly with black cloud of smoke that covered the caster, when staying inside of this smoke, the caster will be immune to all kinds of ranged attack, including magic bullets or beam, unless attacked with a weapon, the caster will be invincible for 5 seconds.

'I should survive with this!'

BOOM!

The shockwave that came from < Void Ripple > hit the black cloud and it phased right through it, usually the smoke should be pushed because a shockwave is basically just a gust of wind that travels at a crazy speed, but logic never made sense in here, not in this place, inside of Sylias's mind, logic can be anything.

ROAARR!!

Loud roar echoed throughout the endless void, the abyss creature that Sylias and her clone summoned have all died together after battling eachother evenly, they all died together with no survivor, in the end, those summoned turned into mists that gradually fade to nothingness.

'Ugh! Using the same spell will only result in the same outcome, unless i find a way that can turn the table..'

DASH!

Blink once and you'll miss it, Sylias's clone dashed towards her and it appears infront of Sylias in no time, surprised by the sudden ambush, Sylias tried to dodge, within that half a second, her body adjusted automatically to the adrenaline that is constantly pumping through her blood.

'WHAT—

The clone clenched its fist and goes for a punch that is aimed at Sylias's head, fortunately she was able to barely dodge it, her surrounding feels like its moving in a slow motion, Sylias saw the clone's fist heading to where her head was supposed to be if she didn't dodge, she would be lying if she say that she wasn't scared.

'Keukk!! That was close!!— AUGHAAHH!!'

Sylias spat a bit of her saliva from her mouth, her expression looked agonizing, there was a sudden excruciating pain that came from her stomach, as soon as she manages to dodge the attack from her clone, the clone was able to quickly follow up with Sylias's movement and launches the next attack after rotating its body to gain more power.

BOOM!

The clone kicked Sylias, causing her to be thrown into the dark void sky, she thought that it will be the only attack, however it is as if her wish was denied by the gods, while on the sky, the clone began to run and catched up to Sylias who is still falling and is about to reach the ground.

'It hurts!!– Agh! Fuck! I need to catch my fall! Huh!?'

BOOM!

'UAAKKHHH!!'

Sylias was punched on her back, and the clone swiftly switched side and now is infront of Sylias, before she could even get thrown back again, the clone punched her again, this time it was aimed at her face, Sylias was treated like a tennis ball, constantly being smashed to one side and another.

The pain was extreme, it was unbearable, Sylias could feel her entire body shattering into pieces, even though this is just a world inside of her mind, she felt all of the pain like it was real, this is not just a dream that she can control, she needs to control it.

***

Meanwhile, in the real world, at the inner forest of Monoghriad, while Sylias's real body was standing beside Rezio's corpse, her eyes cornea kept switching color from black to white, when Sylias manages to keep her ground against the clone, her eyes in the real world turned white, but when she was being beaten up by the clone, her eyes turned black again, like it was trying to gain control over her real body.

Not only that, but Sylias's real body also continuously exuding a fiery dark purplish flame, the aura that is being released creates a strong pressure to any creature that walks near it, because of that the monster and beasts that lives in the forest have stayed away from Sylias's location.

***

BOOM!

BOOM!!

'Shit.. this is bad, my body refuses to fall unconscious, i can't do anything!'

< CREATURE OF THE ABYSS >

The clone summoned a giant magic circle before it disappears and a bunch of abyssal creature surfaced from the ground.

'H- hold on a minute, what was the lore for Abyssal Hunter again?..'

Sylias remembered the time on earth, she was playing Serpent Journey and is reading the background lore for the Abyssal Hunter class, it was her first time getting the class and it excites her, she wants to completely understand and absorb the story before she will play it, and in that background lore, it is stated that..

'T- This class! I remember it was the remnants of Abyssal King Serpent's soul, and the lore says that the first NPC who defeated the Abyssal King Serpent goes mad and caused destruction across the whole continent!!– ARRGHH!!!'

CHOMP!

CHOMP!!

Sylias's was bitten by the Abyssal Great Shark, it swallows her whole and exited from the shark's back, phasing through Sylias, more of the summoned creature also began to chew on Sylias's body, the piranhas devoured Sylias like a dead meat, while the Abyssal Serpent cuts her body in half, yet no matter how many damage was done to Sylias, her body seems to keep regenerating endlessly, and in a short amount of time too.

'ARGGH!! MY VISION! ITS FADING AWAY!! IM REALLY GOING TO BE CONSUMED BY THAT CLONE!'

< ABYSS HAND >

'URRKKHH!!'

Sylias got choked on her neck by the Abyss Hand that came from the clone, she was brought closer to the clone slowly, the Abyssal Hunter aura was taking away Sylias's breath, if the choking wasn't enough, now the pressure will double.

'T- This, I- i refuse to give up, Come here! You damn clone of mine!!'

She was then dropped infront of her clone, Sylias kneeled and looks at the clone with angry face.

BURSSTTT!

'I REMEMBER IT!! THAT'S IT!'

A smile formed on Sylias's face and she kicked the clone's leg, tripping it and making the clone lose its balance, her smile was not a smile of happiness, but rather a smile of thrill and thirst for revenge, she releases the same Abyssal Hunter aura face to face with the clone, the pressure around them was overpowering, however this was only the start for the payback.

KILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLTHATTHINGKILLTHATTHINGKILLTHATHING!

Sylias kept hearing those words in her mind, it repeated continuously like an alarm, influencing her in a way that is oblivious for her.

[ Sylias's 5th Class "Abyssal Hunter" Ultimate Spell ]

< VOID REQUIEM >

THUMP!

Sylias slammed her right hand at the invisible ground, and almost instantly, a magic circle with a 35 meters radius appeared from it, it then formed an endless hole that swallowed Sylias's clone, the summoned abyss creature, and also Sylias herself, even though their surrounding is all black, the giant hole had a slightly purplish color in it so it can still be differentiated.

'YES! I FINALLY REMEMBER THIS SPELL!'

Inside of the hole created by Sylias's spell, her clone and the summoned abyssal creature floated, similar to how it feels in space with no gravity, soon after they all fall into the hole, their body was bombarded with millions of air blades that sliced everything, they're all surrounded with nothing but pain and endless pattern of dark purplish lava.

< ABYSS VEIL >

The clone tried to use Abyss Veil, at first it worked and black smoke gushes out of the magic circle, the clone was immune to the constant slicing, but the smoke only lasted for 5 seconds.

'Struggle all you want.'

< VOID REQUIEM >

Desperate for an escape, the clone decided to use Void Requiem, while inside of Void Requiem, however, it soon realized that, an endless void created in an endless void, will not make a second endless void.

'In the end, you're just a reflection of myself, im glad you can't use a spell that i forgot, otherwise you would've used this long time ago.'

The black smoke clears, in a slow fade it reveals the clone, when Sylias realized the clone's presence, it was decided that, she is the winner of this battle.

SLASH!

SLASH!!

SLASHSLASHSLASHSLASH!!

Through hundreds of thousands of slices, the clone's body was turned to dust and it flew away like ashes that is being guided by the wind.

'Huff.. Is it over?..'

THUMP!

'URKHH..'

Suddenly, a sharp pain hit Sylias on her chest, it felt like her heart is about to get sliced too by the void, her body began to release more of the Aura, once she closes her eyes, Sylias was surprised to find herself to be in the Monoghriad forest, she finally woke up from the dream.
