Chapter 533 The Undying Vs The Eternal Darkness (6)

[The Undying's POV]
While it had been an easy task to figure out that the Power of Destruction was enough to inflict serious damage upon Kaeldur, the same couldn't be said about the Tyrant of Destruction.
The Giant Demon maintained a stoic expression and never showed when he was injured, and he could easily cover the wounds he sustained with the darkness that shrouded his entire body like a second layer of skin. It was quite difficult to figure out what means to injure him and what was less effective against the huge Giant if he never reacted to an attack.
However, after fighting for two weeks without a single break, it was only obvious that Dilan made a few discoveries.
One of his discoveries was that the Tyrant had a very high resistance to mana-based attacks.
Dilan had attacked the Tyrant with all kinds of needles that had been conjured with the use of his Ring of the Infinite Elements constitution, yet none of them inflicted any real damage to him.
This forced Dilan to switch his tactics to larger mana-based attacks so that he could figure out what element and power caused most damage to the Giant Demon.
It might be a cliche and something Dilan could have expected but both the light and holy attributes showed the highest effectiveness against Tyrant, the existence that had been corrupted by darkness.
But even if it was a cliche, Dilan had only been happy upon finding out the best element to defeat the Giant Demon, who was also called the Tyrant of Destruction for a good reason.
Because the Power of Destruction was not effective against Tyrant, Dilan had also given the Immortality Aura a try. With the Immortality Aura, Dilan could injure Tyrant, even to the extent that his expression morphed into an ugly and beastly grimace.
Unfortunately, that was already it. The small injury was not enough to affect the Giant Demon in any way, and it was only a matter of time before Tyrant would heal.
The high difficulty to overwhelm, let alone defeat Tyrant was why Dilan had switched his target to Kaeldur and even Nial. Injuring Kaeldur was much easier than getting his hands on Nial, who was always protected by the two Demons. It was not as if Tyrant would stay idle while watching Kaeldur, let alone his master getting injured.
Thus, their small brawl began anew.
By exerting the Zephyr Step movement technique, Dilan toppled Tyrant's speed in an instant. He emerged in front of the Giant Demon a moment later and released the glowing white blob that had manifested in his empty hand.
Tyrant covered his face with darkness in response before he shot tiny needles of darkness out from the ground.
The Giant Demon was able to sense whenever the needles of darkness faced some resistance. That was how the Tyrant of Destruction countered Dilan's attempt to blind him.
Tyrant used his other senses to make up for the momentary loss of his sight.
However, Dilan had already expected him to do so and readily implemented the next step.
He created a strong stream of water which he blasted to the ground with tremendous force. Every single needle of darkness would feel a certain amount of resistance due to the water's force and the Giant Demon would be forced to digest and sort a large stream of information that came from the perception of his other senses, confusing him for a moment.
This gave Dilan the necessary time to initiate his own attack.
Fusing the Immortality Aura with more and more Life force, Dilan attempted to overclock the Immortality aura's power and enhance it several times. What followed suit was the sensation of weakness that his body transmitted to his brain.
He felt as if even a faint gust of air was strong enough to kill him, and that was probably not even an overestimation. He had used almost his entire life force to empower the Immortality Aura. It would take a second or two before Undying would replenish his life force but all of that was already accounted for in Dilan's mind.
He used more than half of his entire pool of Mana to shroud his weapon with both holy and light attributed mana. Dilan could alter mana however he wanted, and the final result was the Holy light Mana he had used to envelop his sword with.
His sword seemed to be screaming out loud as it hummed loudly when both the Reinforced Immortality Aura and the Holy Light Mana were pressed inside the blade of Dilan's weapon.
By willing his Aura and Mana to do so, Dilan forcefully fused them inside the blade, where the mighty and prideful powers were trying to exert dominance and win supremacy over one another.
Dilan knew that Mana would become sentient at a certain density and purity, while the Immortality aura had been described as prideful and a lone wolf by the Destruction Sword Immortal. But all of that was not something Dilan truly cared about.
He used his willpower to force both powers to work together as he shot to the right side of the Tyrant of Destruction. The Giant Demon was still trying to cope with the sudden influx of information when Dilan had already shot high in the air.
He pulled the blade back to generate enough momentum for the slash he was about to issue in a moment.
Yet, just when he reached Tyrant's head a quarter of a second after he had initiated his plan, he noticed that something was off.
'Are Nial and Kaeldur not intervening?' Dilan wondered, certain that the two would have appeared by their comrade's side by now to assist him.
But instead of stopping his attack and wondering further, Dilan slashed out, aiming at the Giant Demon's head.
His movement speed was rapid and there was no way that anyone could react in time to deflect, let alone evade his attack.
However, it was just at this moment that Dilan perceived dozens of changes in his surrounding area.
The darkness cover on Tyrant's face disappeared, revealing a bright smile on the Demon's ugly face. The muscles in his body began to bulge and he seemed to grow in size within an instant.
At the same time, a bloody moon appeared high in the air, eclipsing the bright sun of the City of Trials, blanketing them in the crimson darkness.
And with that, the nights of blood and darkness begun….
With the appearance of the bloody moon, Tyrant seemed to have gotten stronger. The Giant Demon's body expanded as well.
However, even then, Dilan's attack wasn't terminated.
The blade that seemed to have expanded to a length of three meters cut through the air. It would never be able to hit the area Dilan had targeted, but that was something he could live with.
The blade, enlarged by the tremendous amount of Holy Light Mana and Immortality Aura, brought the material of the weapon to its limits.
That was exactly what Dilan intended, and he swung it with a huge force before it impacted on the chest of the Giant Demon, where the blade cut through everything.
There was no holding back as the blade turned the darkness it touched into shreds before a massive amount of dark-red, almost black blood spurted through the surroundings.
Dilan squinted his eyes at the sight of the tremendous damage he did and then his gaze flicked to the still expanding body of the Giant Demon.
'Something is wrong…why the hell would Nial sacrifice Tyrant? That makes no sense!!'
