Chapter 158 Fitran vs Malakothies (6)
As "Eclipse of Infinite Ruin" unleashed its menacing roar, tearing through space and time with a cacophony of thunderous power, something unexpected stirred within the darkness. In the heart of this thick shadow, a brilliant beam of light burst forth from within Fitran, even as he felt the tremendous force of the attack looming, threatening to obliterate all that existed.
Within him, Fitran sensed an ancient force stirring—something far more primal and potent than the cosmic magic he had long relied upon. This power, a hidden part of his essence, was an inheritance from the Voidwright Magic, embedded deep within his soul. It transcended the boundaries of mere memories or ordinary energy. In that moment of acute revelation, he understood that he possessed not only the extraordinary powers granted by his pact with Beelzebub but also the raw energy tied to his very being as a Voidwright. This strength was formidable enough to withstand the impending tremors of annihilation, allowing him to face it with an unexpected serenity.
With a steady yet resolute hand motion, Fitran conjured a barrier of defense that pulsed with a sense of vitality.
Barrier of Fog: A thick, ethereal fog resembling mysterious smoke began to gently emanate from Fitran's palm, swirling elegantly as it quickly coalesced into a magnificent transparent wall. This shimmering barrier, pulsating with a radiant blue light, not only blocked incoming projectiles but also signaled the formidable strength of its protection. With each attack that the fog absorbed, an increasing weight pressed down on Fitran, causing his body to tremble violently—a stark reminder of the exhausting toll that began to gnaw at his very essence.
Guardian's Shield: In a swift, resolute motion, Fitran conjured a dazzling shield crafted from pure moonlight, its luminous glow radiating like a constellation of stars in the vast night sky. The shield boldly absorbed the lethal force of physical strikes, repelling the destructive energy of "Eclipse of Infinite Ruin." However, beneath this shimmering layer of protection, Fitran sensed a profound ache piercing his soul—the heavy price of invoking this spell clouded his vision, as if a dark fog was suffocating his sight.
Ward of Serenity: As the pressure mounted around him, Fitran called forth a calming spell, unleashing a wave of soothing energy that radiated outward in a brilliant, ethereal circle of light. This gentle halo not only offered visual tranquility but also began to repel the encroaching darkness. However, much like a frayed tether, he felt his strength starting to unravel; drenched in a sheen of sweat, he staggered on unsteady feet, gripped by a gnawing sensation of weakness as if his very essence were being siphoned away by an unseen force.
With resolve etching itself into his features, Fitran prepared for one final onslaught, steeling himself against the aftermath of every spell he had unleashed. He recognized that this moment tested not just the magic forged in his contract, but also the fortitude of his inner spirit. Despite the fatigue weighing heavily upon his body, his determination blazed with an intensity akin to an unquenchable fire, urging him to face the shadows and keep fighting against the tide of despair.
"Solarium Equinox"—an ancient and immensely powerful magic that radiates an aura steeped in mystery and reverence. This spell masterfully weaves together the essence of light and darkness, uniting both in perfect harmony to forge a shield capable of withstanding even the relentless forces of time and space. The breathtaking luminescence emitted by "Solarium Equinox" bathes the surrounding area in extraordinary intensity, as if it firmly encapsulates the shadows cast by "Eclipse of Infinite Ruin" within its radiant embrace. The resulting shield, composed of two contrasting layers, emanates both elegance and resilience. The first layer, known as the "Equinox Shield", stands as a bastion against physical assaults, constructed with an invisible energy that bends reality itself; its brilliant rays ignite with each counterattack, reflecting energy with a dazzing sharpness. Meanwhile, the second layer, the "Solarium Veil", operates on a metaphysical level, deftly absorbing and balancing the chaotic destruction unleashed by the fabric of time and space. This delicate interplay creates a gentle yet potent gust that preserves the integrity of all existing forms. As the "Equinox Shield" manifested around him, Fitran felt an oppressive weight pushing against his back—a reminder of the formidable strain the magic imposed upon him. Each heartbeat reverberated with a sense of impending exhaustion, as if the last remnants of his energy were slowly seeping away into the void. In a moment of fierce defiance, he summoned his remaining strength and recited "Aegis of Light." With that incantation, a shimmering aurora erupted around him; radiant beams cascaded from his form, forming a protective energy wall that effortlessly absorbed the onslaught of both light and darkness, rendering them nearly nonexistent in its glow. Yet, despite the grand and stunning manifestation of this enchantment, Fitran could feel his spirit beginning to dwindle. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead as sharp pangs of pain and debilitating exhaustion enveloped him, making it increasingly arduous to sustain the magic's presence.
Next, he drew upon the potent energy swirling within him and shouted with fervor, "Barrier of Serenity!" As the incantation surged from his lips, a transparent shield burst forth, shimmering in a captivating soft blue hue that radiated peace amidst chaos. This ethereal shield was not only a marvel to behold but also emanated a soothing aura, alleviating some of the relentless pain that ravaged his weary body. Yet, with each fleeting second, he felt his physical condition further slip into despair. A crushing wave of dizziness washed over him, and the persistent muscle aches intensified, stabbing deeper like thorny vines ensnaring his flesh.
Finally, as the brutal assault of "Eclipse of Infinite Ruin" surged toward him once more, he summoned every last ounce of strength and declared with unwavering determination, "Void Sphere!" A massive, swirling circle of reddish-black energy manifested between them, voraciously absorbing the torrent of energy from the oncoming attack into its infinite abyss. In that heart-stopping moment, Fitran felt his very essence being eroded by insurmountable exhaustion; his vision distorted into a haze, and his legs quaked, threatening to betray him beneath their burden. Each spell that tumbled from his lips felt as if it siphoned the very soul from his being, yet he grimly understood that each sacrifice was vital for his survival. The very fabric of space around him appeared to fracture, splintering along the turbulent currents of energy that surged like a tempest. Still, "Solarium Equinox" stood resolute, unyielding against the cosmic onslaught, absorbing the incoming power while relentlessly pushing him back toward the voids of incomprehensible existence.
The "Eclipse of Infinite Ruin" collided with the "Solarium Equinox" with a deafening roar, unleashing a wave of terrifying force that rippled through the very fabric of reality. In an instant, the explosive energy that should have obliterated everything around transformed into a surreal, distorted void, creating an almost unbearable vacuum that threatened to consume all light and sound. Fitran stood resolutely amidst the chaos, every muscle in his body screaming in protest, feeling as though he were anchored to the ground by an unseen weight. Each heartbeat resonated painfully in the suffocating silence, a grim reminder of his fragility in the face of such cataclysmic power. He understood that the shield he relied on could not endure for much longer; it could only resist this relentless onslaught for a few fleeting seconds. In that critical moment, he realized he needed to summon the ancient power that surrounded him—a primordial force older than time itself, coursing through his veins as a Voidwright, eager to be channeled and unleashed with overwhelming fury.
