1306 A Battle Against... Myself?!

.

.

.

I suddenly found this body of mine trapped inside a different pocket dimension created by the Divine Trial in the shape of me… which was taking the embodiment of my new Evolution.

It resembled me in a lot of things, and it was covered in crimson-red exoskeleton-like metallic armor. It exuded a strong presence; it was obviously near the level of power that I was.

Seeing this through my other body, it felt as if this was some sort of technique, not something definitive, there were obvious ways to break this bubble where I was trapped.

But it was better to just stay here and confront it anyway.

The place was quite tight however, and it was something that might force me to fight in a different way than my usual flashy fighting techniques. And she looked dead serious too, so that added to the frightening factor.

I can't go easy on her, or I will end up paying the price. I have to quickly do this and as fast as possible while as ruthless as I can.

A second of doubt might be my doom, or well, the doom of this clone of mine, which might die alongside a bunch of power.

"…"

The embodiment of my evolution began to slowly walk towards me, her metallic heels created loud sounds within the stone floor, making the entire scene even more eerie than it already was.

"Hey… I love those heels." I said.

"…"

FLASH!

Suddenly, my embodiment rushed towards me at fast speed, reaching me like a red light that seemed to pierce through space and time at a speed I was able to discern, but that was still incredible.

In a single second I generated an armor over my entire body, a mere materialization of several Daos together into one, the Dao Embodiment Ability was coming in handy now.

My clone created a weapon, a large red blade, which it used to try to slice me in half.

CLAAAAAASH!

I defended with my very black-colored metallic claws. It has been a while since I've wielded an armor over my body, but now that I was fighting another armored version of myself wielding a powerful weapon, it was a requirement I suppose.

"…!"

My clone's blade tried to pierce through my armor and it somehow was managing to, even the materialization of Daos could be pierced as long as there was a strong enough energy and force to her, and because she was more than just a Divine Trial, that was more than likely to be the case.

"But you're going to need way more power than that to truly pierce through me." I said.

I swung my hand and hit her in the chest, gathering the energies of my body, the divine power and the demise essence all together through the fusion of Dao Essence, an explosive blast of chaotic madness hit her in the chest, a flashing darkness that seemed to crack the space and time itself.

BOOOM!!!

CLAAAASSSH!!!

Her body quickly clashed over the ceiling, only for her to vomit a large quantity of blood but continue moving to attack me, she descended upon me with her blade as she swung it around, countless illusions of blades made of blood and darkness showed up around her, all coming together and raining down upon me.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

I evaded as I could, their power seemed to be packing the essence of demise as well as several other Dao essences, complete law comprehension, and attribute particles in insane quantities, this was the embodiment of a mere evolution fused with a divine trial, but it was really quite formidable.

My armor was able to resist some blows as I constantly recovered it using my energies, but the overaccumulation of attacks suddenly sliced through my defenses, as the blades pierced me and began to take big chunks out of my body and soul.

The pressure was strong, I wasn't having an easy time, that's for sure.

The monster attacking me could be said to reflect myself, it even had certain Daos, and the essence of demise was attacking me this time around instead of being part of me.

"Khaos, Ginnungagap!"

FLASH! FLASH!

I summoned my two trusty spears, if I go with massive and explosive attacks, I will only end up hitting myself in such a tight place, so the best option was to go physical like her, with occasional along-ranged attacks!

I swung my two spears at the same time, as powerful and piercing slashes came out of them, void and chaos converged together as they clashed against my clone.

In an instant, she dropped from the ceiling and clashed down, the gray energy and chaos energy converged together around her as they tried to consume her, I jumped towards her and used my spears more masterfully, attempting to pierce through her defensive armor I began to unleash my strongest techniques.

My spears moved at such speed that they seemed as if I had gained many more, an illusion of countless spears converged together as their illusions turned into real materialized phantoms of my own weapons, the power of War and Strength Elements were strong.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The powerful piercing attacks fell over my clone as she tried to move away and struggled to do so, however, her leg was suddenly enhanced with most of her energies, being covered by the essence of demise, she kicked me in the stomach and blew me away in an instant.

BOOM!

"Ugh…!"

CLAAAASH!

I fell over the floor as I looked at her with a bit of anger, I was already beginning to fill up my wrath meter. The sin of Wrath within me didn't helped at that.

"…!"

She quickly moved towards me once more, using her blade and attempting to slice me into pieces, I intercepted her with my spears and clashed against her once more.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

While my spears were powerful as they exuded the power of void and chaos within them, she was also quite powerful, as she possessed similar capabilities than me, alongside the essence of demise.

This was getting more intense.

CLAAASH!
