Will of chaos-Chapter 1674: Cap 1672: Death is... part 2

"I can hurt him..." (me)

If I can manage him, then I can win, if I win the battle ends on all fronts, just knowing that my preparation was not useless is already a gain.

Ever since it was decided for me to face the Soul of Sarazar, I knew that the one who understands Souls the most was Kalistos, the one who controls the power of death, the end of all things and who directly touches the Souls of all creatures, the one who takes responsibility for transporting the Souls to begin their path once again through Reincarnation.

"(Zenos, be careful, something is different!)" (Tarzor)

"..." (me)

"I didn’t expect to wake up with you still alive or with me still here, a real disgrace..." (Sarazar)

Suddenly Sarazar’s movements and posture changed, he turned to me, taking a more relaxed and guarded stance, the hunger that marked his Aura disappeared while the murderous intent exploded throughout his body, becoming almost solid.

"Now that you’ve woken up, could you let me defeat you? That’s what you wanted, isn’t it?" (me)

"That’s right, I want to be stopped, unfortunately it’s not something I can do, Arsan and Luci never understood, but you will understand and you need to understand." (Sarazar)

The teeth in all their lives have become sharper, their tongues longer, their presence has changed or maybe it’s better to say that it’s changing.

I could feel that he was connected to something, I thought it was his body, but now it doesn’t seem like that, the hunger that was disappearing is forming something similar to a connection, it seems like he’s not doing it on his own, it seems almost automatic and the sentence I’m feeling reminded me of something I experienced not long ago due to a request from Callidora.

"An Avatar... an Avatar of an Entity..." (me)

"Yes, but specifically... Hunger." (Sarazar)

"I was marked a long time ago while fighting the monsters created by Hunger, at the time we discovered the truth a trace of its power was left on me when I survived its blow, I didn’t tell them that, it was a weak trace and I thought I could clean it up." (Sarazar)

As he spoke his body moved towards me, his movements were different, there was no longer the irrational savagery that he showed before, his movement was smooth and precise in a frightening way, there were no useless or exaggerated movements.

His claw tried to cut me, but when I tried to use the sword to defend, he dodged his attack to miss the sword while the tongue that came out of his mouth in the palm of his hand attacked my body as if it were a spear, it was too close and fast for me to be able to dodge the attack or move the sword, everything happened too fast.

My instincts got the better of me, opening my jaws and biting the tip of my tongue as the energy in death ran through my arm up my neck to my teeth.

"I don’t know if you know, but for those of us who became Anomalous Dragons, our Souls as well as our bodies are in a constant state of degeneration, I was the first to notice this and told the others." (Sarazar)

"Guhh!!" (me)

"When we eat other energies we can refine and replenish the energy within us, the space inside us also deteriorates and by consuming other fragments of space to refine we can repair this damage." (Sarazar)

"Bastard!" (me)

"But the Soul is different, no matter what race or amount of creatures we try to devour, their Souls just escape, we can’t do anything about it, only the Souls of Dragons can be contained, refined and integrated into our Souls to repair the damage of degradation." (Sarazar)

"< Death’s Blade >" (me)

"That’s what I used to last so long. The Power of Hunger tried to take my Soul, but the Soul itself was destroying itself along with its power. I was naive to think that this could use up this contamination within me. In the end, it only delayed the inevitable, and that’s why I decided to seal myself." (Sarazar)

"Are you even controlling your Soul!?" (me)

"Not exactly. My conscience is just talking to you, but my Will is aiding the instincts that control my Soul." (Sarazar)

"Damn it!!!" (me)

While Sarazar was talking, I was still fighting him. His attacks were precise and in a chain, one attack was always followed by another, and he had a certain flexibility to change the attack midway.

His hands were a real concern, being able to attack with fists, claws, bites, and that sharp tongue. Having so many forms of attack in his hands made him even more dangerous, since his attacks varied very quickly, adapting to my defenses.

I even made the power of death concentrate on the edge of the blade of my sword during an attack, it’s not a power that I master very well, so I tried to use it in a basic way for now, but just as my sword was about to hit his wrist, the mouth on his chest opened sucking my body closer in the middle of the attack, which made me miss his wrist and only cut off half of his arm.

I also suffered many attacks from him, he was relentless in his attacks, each of them trying to be fatal or cause a serious enough injury to impede my movements.

His Soul could be as malleable and changeable as a level or as resistant as a Divine Weapon, the power behind his touches didn’t just cause damage to me, they also left a hungry energy that tried to corrode my body, energy, mind, Aura and even my Soul, even my sword was being corroded before I started using the power of death.

Sarazar was strong and I’m lucky to only have his Soul here, if his body were here it would be a layer of protection too big for me to penetrate.

"You know, before I sealed myself, I tried to kill myself... it was a failure, I didn’t realize how much of me was no longer under control." (Sarazar)

"I also realized that I was just a means, he didn’t want just me, he wanted everyone, he was using me to take advantage of our hunger, he instigated that side to surface more and more making it easier for everyone to lose themselves, that’s when I decided to seal myself." (Sarazar)

"< Divine Summon: Eclipse of Death >" (me)

"I wanted to be sealed for a simple reason, without anything to eat, my body and Soul would be corroded to nonexistence or at least that’s what I thought would happen." (Sarazar)

With each blow I suffered, I was slowly learning more about his movements, he wasn’t really controlling his body, he wasn’t fighting in a way that a person would fight, his movement patterns could be precise, but they weren’t cunning, they didn’t try to deceive or manipulate and realizing this I was able to risk my attacks more knowing what to expect to a certain extent.

This time I wasn’t reacting to him anymore, I advanced towards him, my Aura carrying the power of death was used to press his Aura back, this caused a delay in his reaction just as I thought, which gave me time to get close to him, my sword was aiming at his head and he opened his mouth biting the sword at the tip delaying my movement long enough for his tails to hit my wings, which didn’t work.

I dropped my sword letting it shrink to escape the grip of his teeth as he turned back to me that tried to get away from his tails as well as his claws that were coming towards me.

As soon as the sword returned to my hands, I concentrated the power of death along with my power of Chaos.

I raised my sword as a Purple Sun and a Fragmented Moon appeared behind the sword, merging into an Eclipse that released a tense energy of death.

The power that leaked from this Eclipse spread in all directions and was known to push the energy of life itself away, my blood was boiling inside me as Sarazar’s Soul seemed to stop in place for more than 3 seconds.

At that moment, I moved my sword towards him, making cuts all over his Soul. I had already noticed that his Soul did not recover from the cuts made with the power of death, and I took advantage of this to create hundreds of cuts all over his body, many of them becoming lines that joined together in Runes that lit up in black flames, absorbing the power of the Eclipse.

"(Why did you do this? Your Vitality is also burning.)" (Tarzor)

"(I can’t last much longer in this state. Your power and that of death are too much for me.)" (me)

I wasn’t lying. Tarzor’s power was distributing itself from the outside in. My scales and bones were already in pieces to the point that Sarazar’s attacks were causing much more damage than they should have because they found no resistance.

Other than that, the power of death wasn’t exactly under my control, I could only direct it where I wanted to use it and even that was spreading more pain to me, my Vitality wasn’t mixing with that power and my Soul felt like it was being squeezed.

Not to mention that the power of Chaos was continuously converting the power of hunger that Sarazar’s attacks left in me to become my power, this wasn’t going well, this was a power coming from a concept I didn’t understand, I couldn’t use Alcantara like that.

With this blow, with this last blow I need to resolve this, I can’t drag this fight out any longer or I would lose.

"That’s not enough..." (Sarazar)

"Death is always enough." (Kalistos)

"..." (Sarazar)

"You’re late... Cough! Cough Cough!!" (me)

The Vitality of my body was draining faster and faster as my flesh decomposed, my bones broke and my very Soul felt like it was going to explode, I was already at my limit and I could feel Tarzor trying to break our fusion, but I couldn’t let him, at least not yet.
