Eldrin's veil:Arcanist Awakening

Chapter 17:Dance Of Death

The abyssal ascendant avater reeled from the impact divine ichor spilling from it's cracked form.The meteor haddone it's job,but the fight was far from over.

Aaron's eyes looked on the avater's shifting body,his instinct screaming that something was coming.The last time he let his guard down he almost died.

And right on cue_

The avater moved.

It's six hand blurred ,a storm of claws and divine fire slashing towards him in a frenzy

Aeron dodged the first two,barely twisting his body on time.

The third came from the left,he parried,metal screeched against metal.The impactsent shockwave up his arms,but he gritted his teeth and held firm.

The fourth, fifth and sixth.

Too fast.

HP reduced to 60%

Bleeding status in inflicted

Aeron staggered,pain lancing through his body,but he didn't stop he couldn't.

Because the avater wasn't finished.

It's obsidian spear shimmered, crackling with condensed divine energy . A deep hollow voice from within it's form.

"Your resistance is meaningless."

Aeron scowled .Yeah? So is your face.

Slyva choked back a laugh."Seriously? now?."

Hobbles still recovering from the accidental meteor pointed weakly .Uh....guys?Big bad is glowing and not in a good way.

He wasn't wrong.

The avater lifted it's spear,power surging around it.

And then_

It threw it.

Aeron 's breath caught on his throat. It was locked on him .

For the first time in awhile fear slithered into his mind .

Aaron's body blurred,flickering like an mirage.

The spear of annilation tore through his form.

And passed straight through .

The battlefield went silent .

The avater paused .

Hobbies jaw droppef. "Did you just NO SELL a divine execution"?

Aeron grinned,breathing heavily."Looks like I did."

Slyva let out a whistle "Damn.Now that's a cheat skill I've never seen before.

Aeron turned back to the avater his eye's gleaming ."Alright now it's my turn."

He rushed forward.

All stat doubled for 10 seconds

Aeron's speed exploded .

Before the avater can respond he was already behind it.

He swung his sword upwards cutting through divine matter like butter .

The avater shuddered .

For the first time it actually staggered back.

Aeron didn't let up.

He spun,blade slashing_one ,two,three strikes_each carving deeper into it's fractured body.

The avater howled ichor spilling from it's body freely now.

Slyva saw the opportunity .

"Time to end this!"

She disappeared moving at a speed beyond human limit. Her dagger gleaned in the dying light.

And then_

She plunged them straight into the avater's

core .

For a brief second time stopped.

Then_

The world erupted.

The notification flooded his vision.

Aeron exhailed,dropping on one knee.

His whole body ache,but he was alive.

They had won.

Hobbies collapsed onto his back laughing ."Ha.....Hahaha!I can't believe we did it .

Slyva smirked wiping her daggers clean."Told you we could." Aeron looked at the loot notification appearing his eye widened

(Divine Relic Acquired : shards of fallen god)

Aeron froze.

Something about that item ...felt off.

His gut twisted .

And for some reason he didn't fell like the fight was over.
