As the fight between Masa and the Hero Faction was about to reach a conclusion, the other fights also reached a climax, especially Tobio, who desperately tried to stop Vali from being the enemy of Masa!
"Perfectus Tenebrae Lykaon et Fortis Densus Laelaps!"
As Tobio used his strongest technique, everything became completely dark.
The light could no longer be seen or even existed in this space, yet the most frightening part about this ability was how the darkness could form into various shapes that could take down the enemy!
"As expected, you are strong, Vali!"
Yet, even so, even facing such a powerful attack, Vali didn't appear to be defeated. Instead, he continued to fight, sending several blasts of the Demonic Power or simply dividing any dark weapons that were thrown in his direction while also trying to attack Tobio!
"And all you can do is just run away, Tobio!"
While Vail wanted to defeat Tobio as soon as possible, the fact was that this battle wasn't easy for him at all, especially when Tobio could merge into the darkness, completely vanishing from his senses and then attacking him during his opening.
Whether it was a talent, Demonic Energy, a power, or everything was higher than Tobio, yet even so, Tobio wasn't weak, and he was so cunning, which made Vali quite helpless.
"Compression Divider!"
Despite using his strongest ability, which made him able to divide anything until it completely disappeared, it wasn't enough to erase all the darkness, and Tobio continued to produce all the darkness.
More importantly, the space that was created by Masa gave Tobio an environmental advantage, as the space where Vali and Tobio fought together was a dark environment without a single light.
While this place was like a home ground for Tobio, and he had become like a fish who had returned to the water, Vali had a hard time fighting in this space, as his sense of vision was completely meaningless in this place.
'Vali, if this continues...'
Albion spoke quietly to Vali's mind, knowing that if this fight continued, then it would be Vali's defeat. Vali would lose his stamina, Demonic Power, and energy since Tobio never faced him directly.
Bit by bit, slowly yet surely, despite Tobio's lack of power, he compensated for that with his mind to take down Vali, as he didn't want Vali to become the enemy.
'I know, Albion.'
Vali also understood how dangerous his situation was, and he could smell the scent of defeat, which made him frustrated.
'If you want to, you can use my trump card.'
"...." Vali.
Yes, Vali was clear that besides the Compress Divider, which he used to compress the space around him to destroy this shitty place, the Divine Dividing that he used had a hidden ability that came from Albion.
No, it could be said that the power to divide and absorb the power of the enemy was just the byproduct of Albion's power. Instead, Albion's power was more frightening than that, and if Vali used it, he knew that victory was before his eyes.
However, if Vali used it...
'If you're hesitant, then just stop,' Albion said calmly.
Those words made Vali silent, especially when he saw Tobio's effort to stop him.
Tobio didn't want to make him into the enemy of the devil, especially Masa, who was cruel and merciless toward his enemy.
If Vali became Masa's enemy, then he would be killed.
Yet, Vali never felt afraid of a challenge!
No, he wanted to go further and be the strongest, so while he knew that he would hurt Tobio, he had to win!
Taking a deep breath, Vali shouted, "Enough, Tobio!"
"Have you given up, Vali?" Tobio didn't appear, but even so, his voice echoed within this space as if he were everywhere.
"Give up!"
Vali ignored Tobio's words and advised, "If you are still stubborn, then I will use my strongest technique. Even if you have the protection of this darkness, it won't save you! And... you will die."
Yes, this strongest technique of his was dangerous, and if Vali really used it, he was sure that Tobio would die.
While he wanted to defeat Tobio, he didn't want to kill him, after all, especially when Tobio was his friend.
If possible, Vali wanted to bring Tobio with him, fighting and challenging many powerful supernatural creatures together, but as Tobio insisted on being with the three factions, then he would give his everything, as they would be an enemy from now on.
Tobio was silent for a moment before he said, "Do it."
"Ha?!"
"I also haven't used my strongest attack.
"Yours against mine.
"Let's determine everything now!"
Tobio knew that Vali was so stubborn, but he had never expected this guy to be this stubborn, and because of that, he knew that he had to go all out, or else he would regret it.
"....."
Vali remained silent for a moment, then nodded as he made his determination.
"Is that so? Then, try your best to stay alive, Tobio."
His body glowed in the silver light, and despite how darkness wanted to swallow any lights that entered within this domain, it was impossible to stop this light. Then, as Vali's light grew brighter, he said, "Venom."
It was like a drop of water, but at that moment, everything was reduced and disappeared.
Reduce.
This was the true power of Albion, which earned him the title of the Heavenly Dragon.
Reduce, reduce, and reduce until nothing is left.
This was the truth of Albion's ability, which was in the form of a poison that would reduce everything into nothingness, and as this poison was released, even this darkness couldn't escape as it was reduced until it completely disappeared.
Only Tobio realized how dangerous Vali's ability was, and he understood why Vali told him to do his best not to die. 'Vali...' He could understand Vali's wish and determination to become the strongest, yet even so, he couldn't give up!
Tobio didn't want Vali to die, so at that moment, he swallowed all the darkness, forming a sword.
"Vali, try not to die."
Tobio knew that he had to give his everything, or else, he couldn't stop Vali!
The sword of darkness was sharp, and just its existence caused the fabric of space to be cut even though Tobio didn't move it, yet even so, it brought a light of determination to Vali's eyes.
"TOBIOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
"VALIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!"
As the poison and the darkness met, everything crumbled.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!
Yet, as the fight between Vali and Tobio had reached a conclusion, the fight between Ingvild and Walpurga was about to start!
