Chapter 1292 - 1292
Eiji waited for two seconds.Seeing that no one emerged, he had no choice but to reveal himself.
"How did you discover me?"
Eiji asked with clear displeasure.
He prided himself on having peerless concealment skills—not only did he become incorporeal after vaporizing, but by merging with the Sword of Heavenly Principles, he could harmonize with the world's rules themselves. No one should have been able to detect any anomaly.
"This underground cavern is already my world, governed by my rules."
Goetia, wearing the skin of the loli Nero, replied unhurriedly with an indifferent expression.
"Your Presence Concealment is indeed remarkable, but before me, it's as if you're stark naked."
Ew!
You damn pervert!
Don't say weird things using Nero's body, or I'll fucking wreck you!
Wait, that doesn't sound right?
"You said this place is governed by your rules—what does that mean?"Despite his internal complaints, Eiji felt a faint sense of foreboding."
"What, you don't know?"
Goetia showed a hint of surprise, looking at him as if amused.
"Beast VI, in essence, is the Roman Empire itself—slandered by Christianity, the great harlot of falsehood. It is said to possess seven crowns of the beast and ten horns, holding a false golden cup. One could say it is the largest-scale Innocent Monster of humanity."
In a way, its very existence counters Romulus.
"And the seven crowns of the beast it possesses symbolize the absolute authority it obtained from the Great Dragon, allowing it to speak arrogant words at will and defile all things."
"For example."
Goetia raised a finger, a cruel smile spreading across his face.
"I now declare—all damage inflicted upon this avatar of yours will be faithfully reflected upon your true body."
Eiji's vigilance instantly skyrocketed.
An ordinary person probably wouldn't notice anything amiss.
But having reached the realm of Heavenly Principles, where he could resonate with the natural order of the world, Eiji could detect a subtle change in the rules of this space the moment Goetia made that declaration!
It was as if his words could naturally alter the world's rules!
His intuition screamed with a intense sense of crisis.
If this dream avatar died, his true body would die too!
This rule had become part of this world's natural order, as inherent as humans needing to eat and drink.
"...I see. So this is the 'Seven Crowns of the Beast'?"
Eiji's expression grew increasingly grave.
But he didn't panic.
If his avatar were similar to Morgan's phantom clones, which divided the true body's power, he'd likely be preparing to flee right now.
However, unlike Morgan's clones, Eiji's dream avatar was an extension of his true consciousness, possessing the same strength, techniques, and ability to share his true body's magical energy.
In other words, his power remained unaffected.
Even if Goetia wanted to kill him, he'd have to manage it first!
"And then? Do you plan to settle this with me here?"
Eiji's confidence remained unshaken as he asked in a low voice.
"Nothing would please me more."
Goetia spread his arms wide, sneering coldly.
"To be honest, from the very beginning, I never considered the other participants worth my attention. After all, this Singularity was created by me. I've spent countless years preparing here, enough to handle any difficulty."
"Only you are the opponent I acknowledge!"
During their first encounter, he hadn't realized it yet.
But by the time he did, Eiji was no longer some small fry to be easily handled.
On one hand, he regretted his initial carelessness; on the other, he regarded Eiji as an unprecedented and sole archrival!
Even primordial gods like Tiamat or magic users like Aoko Aozaki didn't matter to him—only Eiji was designated as the one true rival on his path to becoming a UO!
Why was he so certain that Eiji alone could resolve the collapse of the British Lostbelt?
Because he knew from the start that Eiji wasn't someone who would die in a place like that!
"You're an opponent who should be eliminated as soon as possible—I'm certain of that!"
Goetia's tone was now tinged with killing intent.
Before, he couldn't deal with him, but now that he had successfully restored his Beast Spirit Origin, not only had his strength returned but it had greatly improved. There was no reason to let this number one threat live peacefully!
"Interesting. Then let me test whether you're all talk now!"
A fierce, murderous expression also surfaced on Eiji's face.
Since they were bound to clash eventually, why not test her capabilities now?
Admittedly, Eiji could still hunt other Beasts and potentially grow stronger, but at this level of power, unless the gap was a hundred or a thousandfold, even the most stable situation could turn around—just like how Eiji easily defeated Kishinami despite a dozens-fold difference in magical energy.
Moreover, Goetia had clearly just succeeded in usurping the Beast VI Spirit Origin; her strength hadn't reached its peak either.
The two stood on essentially equal footing!
"Boom!!"
Without warning, the rock walls shattered everywhere.
Countless flesh pillars emerged from the stone, their tentacles whipping like lashes, interspersed with countless magical beams stabbing forward like spikes.
"Hum—!"
In the blink of an eye, a gemstone shield protected Eiji's entire body.
With its defense having risen accordingly, the gemstone shield effortlessly blocked all attacks from the Demon God Pillars without showing a single crack.
"Go!"
Eiji flicked his finger.
Regulus Aurum and Alnasl Minium appeared side byside before him, roaring as they charged forward. Golden lightning and crimson vibrational waves poured relentlessly onto the Demon God Pillars, tearing large chunks of flesh to shreds!
However, the Demon God Pillars felt no pain. With astonishing regenerative abilities, they recovered in less than a second, launching frenzied assaults one after another, entangling the two familiars like a boundless ocean.
"Al Meissa Mercury!"
Eiji commanded again.
The massive, two-headed serpentine dragon materialized, its enormous body coiling through the air as it opened two dark, gaping maws to bite down on Goetia!
"Kiffa Ater!"
Simultaneously, a gigantic three-pronged vajra appeared in the sky above Kinojo City.
Thanks to Goetia's previous blast, the entire Type-Moon Academy had been blown away, exposing the underground cavern to sunlight. The Three-Vajra Sword could now easily target Goetia!
A massive surge of magical energy instantly swept through the entire digital world, drawing the attention of all participants to the intense battle beneath Type-Moon Academy.
"That summoned beast... possesses the power to devour dimensions, doesn't it?"
Seeing the twin-headed dragon serpent charging toward her, Goetia slightly furrowed her brow.
Among Eiji's abilities, few could harm her, but this twin-headed dragon serpent was one of them!
She had witnessed his previous battle with Kishinami and thus already knew the capabilities of this familiar.
She raised the golden grail she held in her hands.
Then poured the black mud contained within it downward.
