Chapter 1354: {True Unification}
Chapter 1354: {True Unification}
Sylphy's powerful {One with Darkness} Lineage Ability managed to come in clutch, helping her and her father successfully block incoming attacks from the mighty Abyssal Demonic Beasts and then retaliate as they were left wounded.
Sylph and Allan rushed towards the beasts as the cloud of dark and shadow spirits constantly emerged as swarms of Shadow Spirit Beasts, tearing through anything before disappearing. There was a certain charging time of a couple seconds, which they had to time and
synchronize with their attacks to fight more effectively.
However, it wasn't as if Allan was helpless either, whenever Sylphy was in recharge mode, he immediately jumped and battled several Abyssal Demonic Beasts on his own, killing at least one before letting Sylph join and then both of them would destroy the rest.
"{Heavenly Blazing Blade Arts}: {Rising Holy Phoenix}!"
With a mighty roar, Allan swung his blade upwards as the powers of his Phoenix, Orion, erupted with all his Divine Aspect together, the more he used his power, the more exhausted he felt, but the more he was able to comprehend and gain enlightenment, progressively becoming stronger.
"CRYAAAH!"
BOOOM!
The phoenix engulfed the Abyssal Demonic Beast in an explosion of holy white colored flames, their already wounded bodies exploding and being torn to shreds, only for Sylphy to quickly slice through their meat and bones, draining their power to further feed her {One with Darkness} Lineage Ability energy requirements.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
The cloud surrounding her only grew larger, as the darkness and shadow spirits inside were happily feasting on her energies, which she had to constantly feed them to keep them with her.
"They've already killed five of them?!" muttered Allocer, his giant blazing sword being gripped tightly by his hand, as a smile surged in his lips. "Let's see if you can get to the end... I'm waiting for you, brave ants!"
While taunting the mortals, Sylphy and Allan didn't take that kindly, growing furious as they were being treated like ants even after they showed him what they could do.
"That damn demon is sure cocky!" said Sylph. "Dad, we gotta beat the shit outta him!"
"Language, dear!" her father laughed. "But yeah, I'm going to stick my sword up his demonic asshole and make him cry like a fucking bitch!"
Sylphy gasped as she heard her father's "True self" manifest as he spoke amidst a battle of life and death. She quickly began to wonder if that's how her father used to talk when he was her age.
"SHOW THEM WHAT YOU GOT, MY PETS! {DEMONIC SYNTHESIS}!"
Out of desperation, Allocer combined his Abyssal Demonic Beasts together. It seemed that
the maximum amount was three at a time, but the dozen remaining Abyssal Demonic Beasts were quickly left as four enormous, chimeric abominations.
FLUOSH!
Their flesh, blood, and bones came together as one, as they emerged. The chimeras of all shapes and sizes rushed towards Allan and Sylphy, their sizes of over seventy meters each.
"GRUOOHHH!"
A gryphon-like chimera roared, swinging its six giant limbs down, aiming to tear his foes to shreds with its giant sharp claws. Allan responded, fusing with Salamander and gaining a larger build and scales over his body, with a swing of his sword, an explosion of flames erupted, changing into thousands of holy blades made of Salamander's scales.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"GRYYAAAEEGGH!"
The gryphon-like chimeric abyssal demonic beast screamed in pain, even if it was the combination of three of them at the same time, it did not matter, nor it made any difference when compared to Allan!
It was still alive, but it received serious injuries, making the beast tremble in agony, it activated magic, hundreds of pentagrams materialized, firing beams of dark demonic energies and demonic flames at him.
"I'm growing stronger with every battle against you monsters...!" Allan smiled. "My Mana pool is already halfway gone, but Sylphy has been giving me her limitless Mana this entire time... I can do this, if my daughter supports me, and we're facing foes stronger than ever before... We can do it! I can do this! I must... as a father, I HAVE TO!"
He had to get stronger before fighting that Demon Duke, and for that, he had to constantly use the power of his Divine Aspect and evolve it into a Divinity Aspect! From a Divine Aspect to a Divinity Aspect, it was something that could take thousands of years, as it had only been done by Elves, the most long-lived race in the world.
However, this was only done through their meditation and cultivation over the years, almost never through battles. And this is where the difference became bigger and rather stark. After all, Allan possessed the Heart Flame, the innate Cultivation Legacy and Ability of the Bravo Family of Mercenaries.
It was a power that boosted the cultivation and talent of their family members, hastening the growth of Physique and Magic Circles.
And how so?
Through battle!
"ROOOAAARR!"
A giant three-headed chimera appeared behind Allan as he faced the gryphon, with the head of a lion, a goat, and a lizard, the monster unleashed a triple breath attack of frost, thunder,
and winds against him.
"Concentrate..." Allan thought, suddenly closing his eyes as two attacks rushed towards him at the same time. "Unify them... Unify their power together...!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Within his internal body, his Magic Circle, Physique, Soul, Spirits, and Heart Flame remained separated, yet threads made out of his Divine Aspect were slowly connecting them together.
The very reason he was growing so strong was because he had created his own Divine Cultivation technique, connecting his Divine Aspect to his Heart Flame, a Legacy Ability that can grow stronger through battle.
And in this very moment, when his heart was beating the fastest and when adrenaline rushed through every inch of his blood vessels...
He awakened.
{True Unification}!
"I am the sword."
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Without even moving a single inch, the chimeras about to attack him were covered with countless slashing wounds, some of their limbs being outright dismembered from their
bodies.
True Unification, the legendary Divine Technique created by an Ancient Elf Hero.
To be specific, the current King of the Elven Kingdom, and his father-in-law.
The power to unify every source of power of a body and soul, using a Divine Aspect as the
core!
FLAAASH!
Allan began to change, feeling lighter, and much stronger than ever before...
Above the skies, he shone like a blinding white nova.
"Dad... He's doing it!" muttered Sylphy. "He's slowly developing a Divinity!"
If there was a fan of Allan in the world, Sylphy was certainly that fan. She loves her father, and
after seeing him progress to this extent, she couldn't help but feel amazed.
Yet... was that it?
No, she couldn't just see her father grow.
She had to surpass her limits and reach even higher grounds as well.
"Sylphy, they're coming!"
Ignatius voice echoed inside her head as the two other Chimeras rushed towards Sylphy, one
resembling a hydra with many serpent and lizard heads, and another looking like a giant
monkey with tiger legs and snake tail.
"The Unification of all my Sources of Power..." Sylphy thought. "Can I do that too?"
As her eyes shone with conviction, her Shadow Spirit Domain defended her.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
