GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



Control of world power is the key to winning this struggle. Whoever can control the world power better will win the match. But control is not absolute as the Viper would like to think. They have to let it flow and use the period when they are in control of it to strike their enemy but both of them are too fast. 

The window of opportunity is difficult to take advantage of because of their speed and the limited interval of control that they get. The two domains couldn't outmaneuver the other. It is proof that neither domain is absolute. The two of them fought for over 5 minutes without much progress in hurting each other. The ground they are standing on has changed though. 

Their clash whittled at their surroundings like sandpaper. The air was whipped into a frenzy because of the friction between them but the ground has no way to go. So the ground began to peel away. The rapid change in the flow of world power peeled the ground away layer by layer around them. The two of them began to sink into the ground without them noticing. They are drilling a large hole into the mountain with the spillover of their power. Soverick pressed his opponent from above so the direction of the erosion shifted their battlefield into the mountain.

Their environment became darker as they tunneled into the mountain but they continued to fight. They didn't need light to see and fight so they continued to fight. The battlefield shifted again as the Viper decided to rise into the air. It pushed back against Soverick's downward force. They began digging their way out slowly and surely. They came out of the mountain in another spot. Their fight continued even after they reached the surface. They rose into the air still tugging at each other's control with their weapons.

The spears clashed with the swords like two whirlwinds but none could overcome the other. Lights flashed and energy was discharged into the surrounding. The shockwaves from their clashes created a visible ripple that spread out from them like the ripples on the surface of the world. These ripples show two different points of origin that coincide with the position of the two fighters. The ripples are in the form of two circles that pull and push on each other without progress. So they disengaged and stopped fighting. His enemy let him go with a smile.

"I have seen enough." He said to it.

The Viper's smile widened in elation. It said, "So you see. You cannot defeat me even if you copy my ability. I was created to be undefeatable. I am an impassable wall as I said. If you can't kill me, then you can't move on."

Soverick regarded his opponent and smiled too. "You're right. You can stop every attack that you can come in contact with but not every attack can be touched. They can only be understood and felt. I'll let you feel one attack that can't be stopped. It was nice fighting you."

His four eyes came together on his face and fused into one. He became a one-eyed cyclops. His single eye focused on the Viper and only the Viper.

"I have seen enough and because I have seen what you are, I demand to see what you were."contemporary romance

His words are not ordinary. They contained a sort of indescribable power. The Viper sensed danger but it didn't know where it is coming from. Even the words fill it with dread but it can not stop words even though it can stop the wind. Unfortunately for it, this power is more subtle than the wind.

Soverick's words and his gaze made the intangible power settle on the Viper from every direction like a blanket. The Viper couldn't escape so it targeted the source of the danger. It rushed forward to interrupt him.

"Be unmade before my very eyes. Return to your roots. Return to your Origin. Return to your beginning."

The Viper froze halfway to Soverick as the single eye on his head turned violet. It began to flow a violet light that shown on the Viper. The brightness of the violet light increased as he said each word until the Viper itself began to glow a Violet light in synchrony with the eye.

"Experience the WRAITH OF DEATH: EYE OF BEGINNING."

He activated the 6th step of his skillset. The Viper froze this time. Then its form began to soften and melt like wax. It lost its sharp definition until it melted into liquid energy and law fragments. The liquid formed a ball in the air that contains the law fragments that make it up. He had made the Viper revert to its basic form. The Viper couldn't stop that because it can't touch time.

The ball is still glowing the Violet light and it began to approach him. It moved closer to him then it shrunk and entered his eye. The violet light of his eye died down after swallowing his prize. His single eye then separated into its four components and became blind after the change. He is blind but he can't help but smile. Happiness is an understatement for his current emotions. 

"I sure hope I met enemies like that." He muttered to himself.

That Viper is unique. It was not created by the core of the world fragment like the other monsters. Other monsters are created using laws that are derivatives of the law of order of the sage. The arena spirit performs the designs and manifests them for the competitors to fight.

But the Viper is an oddity. It was created directly by a world god. It contained pure law fragments of the false law order instead of its derivatives. He doesn't know why that happened but he definitely wants to see more of it. It is a gift that he will appreciate no matter how much of it is sent his way. He won't get tired of it at all.
