Chapter 60: Chapter 60
Thirty minutes had already passed on the arena with neither combatants making a move. "Why are they taking so long to make a move? Just fight already!" Elaine spoke in a very unbefitting manner. Even though she was right, neither seemed to make a move. The reason why Eveyln never made a move was that according to Aldritch's methods,it was better for the opponent to come straight for her to get a small assessment of their actual prowress or she could take the initiative of moving in a suppressive like intent to eliminate the opponent before they had a chance to fight back.
Though she couldn't try the second as the person right now she was fighting was under the tutorage of the same person as her so she went for the former idea of waiting for him to make a move. Her patience running,she finally decided to take the initiative towards him. Darting across the arena in a split second hardly for anyone to catch a glimpse of her stunning the audience with her sword aiming for his heart. They had all anticipated that he would do something but he did nothing and...
*Stab*
The sword went right through his chest emerging out of the other side. 'Why didn't he dodge or block?' Eveyln thought along with the rest. "That's kinda stupid. Just standing there for the opponent to end your life." Elaine said. "Maybe he's planning something else." Connor spoke after receiving treatment for the injuries he got. They weren't lethal but they were certainly painful and even though he attempted to use his special skill,it seemed ineffective against him as he only increased his pace higher compared to his. "Well to sacrifice such a vital organ for an attack is certainly not worth it. Maybe he was weaker for him to do this for his victory." Ciara spoke up.
On the arena, Eveyln looked at him as blood starting to come out of his mouth in a small streak. He too finally to make a move and using one hand,he caught the blade with his left hand as he looked in her eyes and the eyes locked in place. Her's a deep lively crimson shade while his blue eyes slowly turned red in a sea of glistening gold. Shocked,she backed away immediately going back to her position but her sword was still impaled on his chest. His grip around the sword increased with blood now coming out of his hand then an unexpected thing followed.
"*Crrkk*
A small crack appeared on it getting bigger before the sword completely shattered. "What!!" She was taken aback by what she saw. A gift from Aldritch capable of cutting through Ytterbium was shattered by his bare hands. "Well this is interesting." Ciara said, "To be able to break the sword like that requires a lot of physical prowress." Andrew looked at her with discerning eyes filled with nothing but contempt. "I would kill you and her but since he values ever so greatly, I'll refrain from doing so." Luke said in a voice that was completely alien to his regular. "As for this guise." He grunted as illusion of Luke wore off revealing Andrew with a crazed look plastered on his face.
'So that explains it.' Eva pondered as he saw Andrew though she was at first shocked as to how Luke was able to shatter the sword with his bare hands. "Time for a restart." He spoke in a callous voice as he pocketed both his hands. Eveyln was still on the arena as she was still locked in place unable to move whilst Andrew seemed to enlarge his shadow till it was bigger than the entire kingdom and only got bigger. "This is pure madness. What is he trying to do?" James asked as he tried to suppress Andrew with his own aura but the efforts amounted to nothing. Andrew only cast at him a deadly stare before James turned into a bloody paste.
"Dad!" Both Elaine and Vincent said with blood of their father covering their faces but they couldn't bring him back. As for Andrew,his shadow was extending beyond this world could hand and shatter the interworld barrier which separated worlds. As of now,he was the center of attention with his body now suspended lowly above the ground. There was a golden crow on his right shoulder as his shadow was a shade of nothing of black and red. Naturally it was his thoughts,Fear and Hedonism operating his body.
With the barriers now out of the way,his shadow only grew bigger seemingly extending to infinity outwards before it started scaling in a two way direction. The shadow with the red eyes started to scale upwards while the second one with golden eyes scaled downwards. It was a beautiful and dangerous moment as some of the people started losing their sanity while the kingdom went into chaos. Connor could only observe as it all took place, interfere, there was an undecipherable atmosphere around Andrew not to mention seeing what was taking place,he knew that he could die in a matter of seconds.
But as expected from a protagonist,there was no way he would simply sit there and wait for death. He gritted his teeth as he consulted with Elaine and Ciara. "I can't just stand here,I have to do something even though my chances seem bleak." Elaine had a dejected look on her face. "Seeing how this is going, we're going to die either way so let's face it head-on. Are you with us?" She said looking at Ciara. She gave a slight nod reassuring the trio. Even though Ciara wasn't as pessimistic as Elaine believing in hope of survival,she couldn't just watch her friends face a monster and not lend a helping hand so she brandished out her sword.
Andrew's body continue to hover ever so gently with Eveyln bearing the dense atmosphere around him. It wasn't chaotic to erase her out of existence, despite what transcended,there was a strange feeling of calmness and peace. Connor in between the two ladies ,"We simply can't watch you destroy our world and expecting us not to do anything about it! Whether we die or not,we are going to take you down!!" He brazenly shouted at Andrew. Andrew remained unfazed as his upper shadow hit the boundary between the third and the fourth dimensional plane. It started to spread as if trying to assimilate it while the one beneath was starting to break the gap between the third and second dimensional plane.
Taking his first step forward, Connor and the two girls experienced all kinds of death ranging with the pain and damage inflicted a thousand times over before restoration with their second step. "The outcome is set so no need to fight it." Andrew said in a monotone voice. What did this mean for Connor,that Andrew was going to erase not this world alone but every single being out of existence and submerge everything in nihil. Naturally the three saw the outcome and progressing would be futile as they now realized that they couldn't fight him. With a fraction of a second,he had already killed them a thousand times over without touching them.
As for Eveyln,Eva was scared that she might die judging from the scenery but she remained perfectly fine.
*Shatter*
*Crack*
They all saw the shadow transcend over the lower and higher breaking into the fourth and second dimensional plane. The one with the golden eyes from everyone's only proceeded to cause chaos and death as it escalated further down while the one with the red eyes started to devour the higher beings as they drowned in absolute darkness and the trend continued with all seeing armageddon occur right in front of their eyes. Those across the seemingly infinite worlds tried to cross over and kill Andrew ranging from protagonist to villains but they all died.
Andrew stretched out his hand offering it to Eveyln. She was scared as sure she knew he was powerful but seeing how he ruthlessly killed deities to humans with no worry as if taking a breath was out of her comprehension. But recalling what he said,she decided to take his hand and he inspected her frail looking hands. They were soft and her child like body made him squat to which she was now taller than him. "Are you scared?" He said looking straight into her eyes. She felt disturbed with his unrealistic shade of eyes but she answered, "Yes I am." In a shy and shook voice.
"There's no need to worry when you have me. Okay." She gave a slight nod before he gave her a warm hug as if he wasn't orchestrating the end of reality with a thought. After the hug,he looked once more at her and this time,that disturbing feeling was no longer there only an unusual serene of solitude and solace. The shadow underneath had finally broken past the first dimensional plane and now breached into a static black void. It was naturally antimatter and the crack only got bigger and bigger. Every being even though unable to fathom what it was,they felt an unsettling feeling by merely looking at it and tried to get away from it as much as possible.
The shadow with the golden eyes seemed to vanish and the golden crow reappeared back on his right shoulder. "What is that?" Eveyln asked to which he stood up and looked down at the crack. "Antimatter but don't bother your cute little head about it." He said as he ruffled her long silky hair. He then summoned Eva to stand by his side. "I'm about to ask you a very important question,are you ready to go against the heavens?" Both the two were startled by his request. "We swore to serve you regardless of what happens. Even if every single being is against you." He wore a small smile.
"Time to play dirty." He mused as the higher dimensional beings started to make their appearance. For the lower dimensional planes,they couldn't see them as they were too weak but the trio of Andrew could with his power. Eva looked upwards and felt the condescending gazes showered down on her feeling as if she might kill herself. 'Even if everyone is against you, I'll always be here with you.' She thought but Andrew heard that and was satisfied. He took the two girls way above to the ninety ninth dimensional plane startling the two. They wouldn't even last a second here but with Andrew's will they were fine. They looked around and noticed the huge and majestic tree before a lady appeared behind them. "Feel free during your stay."
Looking back,the two saw a beautifully unrealistic fox stand behind them but what they couldn't understand was who was the other lady present in the room with them. She was just like them if not worse. There was nothing out of the ordinary with her but her mode of dressing seemed alien to them. Laura left leaving the trio there to interact with each other. "May I ask,who you are?" Eva asked with a hint of caution. Here,she couldn't even sense anything around her so she thought that maybe the lady present was something of the sort. "I'm Ashley, Andrew's lady and who are you?" Eva paused for a second ,"I'm Andrew's servant."
Back on the third dimensional plane, Andrew increased the number of cracks present into the World Order filling all the dimensional planes with antimatter as it brought death to everything and everyone present in every single dimensional plane including the ninety nine dimensional plane leaving the hundredth. Surrounded by a eerie blackness,he strived to breach the heavens facing lethal retributions but he remained without a single scratch on his body. Numerous creatures descended to wipe him out of existence but he remained resolute and unfazed as he proceeded with his slaughter til the only ones present were a handful individuals.
"Are you insane? What are you doing?!?"he was questioned but his world was hazy as the being,a high echelonate was wiped out of existence with the same fate occuring to all leaving only him and God. "We meet again Lynch Devil." He said seating on his throne. The rest was covered in golden blood a contrast of the earlier peaceful haven. "You know what I want." He said in a tired voice as he felt the world spinning in his head. He couldn't challenge the deity seated on that throne as he knew the outcome. He was confused why he didn't stop him during his slaughter but his mind felt like mush the more he stayed here.
"We're even for this,next time, don't expect any more favours from me." 'Favours,what!' Andrew in the static white void thought before his body vanished from sight. Looking around,the deity gave a small sigh before raising his fingers and snapping them similar to Andrew. The only beings alive being the three, Andrew, Omniphinx and God.
