Perfect Avatar-Chapter 318: The Twilight Of The World: The Power Of A Chained Beast

Chapter 318: The Twilight Of The World: The Power Of A Chained Beast

"This is the end for you!"

Dora spread his arms, a new flash of the world. Above them, a vault of stars fell on the planet.

(Sigma!)

"Got it!"

The Persona created numerous dimensional holes, sending everyone further away, the stars fell in a rain of destruction, ravaging a whole side of the planet while everyone else was teleported on the other side.

The planet quacked on the impact, but they were temporarily safe, until the ground shone.

(Till here?!)

"No, but there’s nowhere to hide."

Dora appeared above Sigma, half of the armor destroyed.

One sword slash, and the Persona disappeared in an eruption of light, the impact becoming smaller attacks heading for everyone else.

(... What? How did... Damn! Again?!)

Above, new stars shone before falling, Liliana utilized Angelo’s skill in hurry, but with less power than Sigma, she was unable to teleport them further away.

"Gluttony"

Solaria created a wall above, managing to nullify most of the attacks coming from above, they instinctively rushed under her, but the wall could only cover a medium space, the stars touched the ground further away, and in contact with the ground, they exploded into smaller stars spreading in every direction.

(Frey! Om!)

The two jumped and slashed the air, creating a blast in two sides, Alpha and Marie created a wall.

Everyone was in an curious shield, bombarded with stars.

Hope trembled, gazing above, he jumped.

"G-guys!!!"

In the sky, Dora’s body was once again free, with colorful sparks of energy in the hands.

"Why do you panic? I said you will stay alive!"

Dora fire hundreds of energy bolt, ravaging the earth and most of the Pseudo-avatars.

He conjured a canon in his hand before the armor covered him entirely.

On the ground, Beta’s aura, still active regenerated the warriors but no one could savor it.

"You know, I have to thanks you."

The canon charged energy, Omega, Freya, Gamma, and Mercy reached Dora in time, four slashes, four blast, and one armor broken.

"Shit!"

The canon shot several beams at once in many directions, repelling the attackers, then exploded in contact with the remaining stars floating in the air.

A chain reaction began, with several explosion following one after the other, on the ground till the sky.

The damages were catastrophic, with arms and heads flying, however..

The colors reversed again, and everyone was back to their previous state.

Beta could provide an infinity of healing, and the 5 combined could use the Law to replicate the same technique they used against Rhea, but it was only a delightful sight for Dora.

"You see, I’ve never been pushed to my limit at this point, in every sense of the term."

He materialized a sword with his arm freed from the armor.

"I’ve met several idiots in this world, but You guys, you really pissed me off more than anyone... Killing you would never satisfy me, for you, I need to be creative!"

He disappeared and reappeared next to Giudecca, swinging his sword.

A slash traversed the area and died in an explosion of the horizon, Giudecca was flying, pushed in the last moment by Alpha who took the hit.

"But thanks to you, my dear traitors, I’ve found the perfect way to properly destroy you..."

On the ground, the sword shone and exploded.

Each shard was filled with the Sin’s power and blew anything in contact with it, Sigma reappeared, using Voracity alongside the maids and Solaria.

Hope imagined as many warriors as possible, but Envy, while having the strongest feat, was the hardest to use as it needed a clear and calm mind, something that the young boy severely lacked.

His knights vanished instantly in the blasts, alongside Dora’s armor.

"You can keep struggling as long as you wish, as long as you’re feeling pain, I am plenty satisfied, I am immortal, I can do this for an eternity! Keep healing them, Beta!"

He spread his arms, creating a blast sending them all on the buildings around.

Destruction, blood, pain, dizziness, everyone was slowly losing sight of the battle.

Alone on the ground, Iris trembled.

It was the absolute chaos, everyone was giving their best without success, except for her.

"..."

Her lips trembled, she looked at her sword on the ground.

She had actively participated to the battle, she had attacked several times, but nobody noticed, her power being took ridiculous.

"Why?.... Why is it happening?"

She grabbed her sword and observed it, her view blurring.

"... Why? Why isn’t it working?!... I got a Sin too... So why can’t I fight?"

Despite her question, she knew the truth, but refused to acknowledge it.

Sloth’s blessing was the weakest of them all, without any special feat for the user like Envy and Lust.

She used to be the strongest of her generation, she stood alone on a throne, so long that she wanted to be defeated, but it was now a memory.

A new explosion lifted the ground and sent her comrades in the dust.

"... Why are you so useless? Why???"

She clenched her fist, and the first drop of tear touched the ground.

"Why can’t you do anything?!"

(Iris?)

Dora’s voice reached her. On her knees, she lowered her head.

"I don’t understand... Dora... Why am I so weak? I trained my whole life... I was as strong as you... When did I become so useless?"

Her voice was cracked in sobs, Dora was troubled by the idea of leaving the others, but since his alter ego was making sure to not touch Beta, he focused on Iris.

(Iris, I really get what you mean, you were the strongest of us, and I admit that it’s surprising that you, of all people didn’t fight any Sin Avatar... Like... Wow... It’s true you never fought one... Except me... When I was a larva.)

"... You’re trying to make me feel better? Why can’t you be serious... Oh... No, forget it. What could we do about me? I’m the weakest... I have no way of serving anyone."

The dust passed through her, carrying the massacre her comrades were going through.

(Really? Because you have Candace’s blessing? This is how you see her?)

"This is not what I meant, don’t try to play that card. The dean wasn’t a fighter, but she did amazing things for everyone. She’s the one who gave us a chance... She did infinitely more than me... And I’m supposed to be stronger..."

She lowered her head, her tears falling more profusely.

"I didn’t exist in Kalaharis, I didn’t move against Wrath, I was useless when the other you attacked us... and now again, I am powerless... I just want to fight... To give some sense to my power..."

Her head touched the ground, in tears, devastated, her friends getting incessantly demolished, their screams filling the air, and then, a shadow sat near her.

A hand touched her head and began to run through her hair.

(If that’s how you feel, then fight.)

She raised her head in surprise.

"... I want to fight... But I can’t... I’m useless."

(What do you mean? You want to fight yes, or no? How being useless is an excuse to not fight? Look at everyone, do you think that what they’re doing is working? With everything we used, he’s still dominating us, how is it useful? You took Candace as an example, you respect her more than anyone, but you know what made her so special?)

Iris’s tears stopped falling, her eyes wide open.

(She didn’t have power, she was weaker than anyone, but she still fought. She never stopped rushing in desperate battle. She wasn’t afraid of facing the other me alone, she stood between him and Gloria, she was there against Fafnir. Without power, she kept fighting, and because she never stopped, this world got a new chance. Think about every she achieved, because she never gave up. Leave the power to the weaks, the true power is to change someone’s world with your hands. She did it every time, and she chose you as her successor. I don’t care if you are useless or weak, I know you more than yourself, so stop making a fool of the image I have of you. Stand, and fight!)

A chill crossed her body, her hands trembled, she pushed the ground and raised her head and finally noticed the one sitting next to her.

"... Zury?"

"... Don’t mind me. I’m just serving as a tool. As usual."

She gave an indifferent gaze to the battle, as the only one who never fought here.

"This is taking forever, why not give it a try? If you die you’ll be free, right? It’s better than seeing your hope being crushed over and over."

A gust of wind crossed them, Iris sat down next to Zury.

"Isn’t that funny? Now there’s enough Dora to not have to worry about sharing... But we can’t enjoy it."

(... To be fair...)

"Quiet, failed knight."

(K, k, the mic is yours...)

She lowered her head and chuckled, for the first time in ages, Zury recovered a normal face, behind her sorrow.

"You’re lucky... You’re very strong. I envy that."

"... Uh?"

"Yeah, you could go against Dora, you had free will... Unlike me. After we erased Dora, I lost the will to live. I didn’t have any goal,I didn’t know what to do. One day, my father sent me a letter. He was in debt, so he decided to make an arranged marriage with some duke boy. When I read his letter, I got desperate... I went home to oppose him, and we had an argument."

She raised her head, watching Dora charging a new blast.

"That night, something awakened in me. My power increased, I lost consciousness... And when I woke up, I was different. I had killed my father."

"... Zury..."

"Hm? Oh don’t worry, I transformed first, THEN I killed him. I was fully conscious... Kekeke... That bastard deserved it."

Her pointy teeth crowned her sinister giggle.

She stood up, patting the dust from her noble bottom.

"My point is, I am a beast chained to a master who destroyed me, so I’ve killed for the one I adore, you in opposite, you are chained to yourself.You are strong. Do as my cheating knight said and fight, ok? And kick his ass."

(Wait, me, the Sin or the other me?) freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Yes."

She began her walk toward the battlefield under the gaze of Iris.

"I’m ready, let’s do this."
