Capítulo 105: Encroaching Dark
The Abyss Eaten felt a stronger connection to the Abyss now, his old self was unable to break free and could only wait, but, there was something else within him now.
He had first battled the dark, not willing to give in to its toxic hold, now however, convinced that its greatest hunt was in motion, he allowed the Abyss to consume him further.
One of his shining red eyes dimmed, replaced with a sickly dark blue as a tentacle of abyssal matter shot out from his back, hitting the ceiling above and pushing him back to the ground while other tendrils lashed out at the various towers and spawned creatures.
His sight soon came back to him, his eyes barely stinging anymore and he opened his eyes, only to find himself in an unfamiliar place.
Everything was bright and colorful, this sight appeased him for an instant but he quickly turned to look for the wretch, finding nothing but the vast and beautiful expanse of a green meadow.
Surrounded by a small woods, filled with trees which bark were milky white and their leaves a pristine pink, the wind was blowing softly, the grass beneath him felt tender and inviting.
Far away, in the distance, a tall, immense white tower loomed over the peaceful scenery.
The man corrupted by the dark grabbed his own head, believing that he was having an hallucination, he wasn't foreign to delirious episodes since being locked down here, however...
Everything felt so real and it was all so comforting to him, he felt somewhat willing to give in and enjoy even if it was all just a creation of his tormented mind.
He would have if his desire to finish the hunt wasn't so overpowering.
Screaming at the blue sky in a voice that lacked even more humanity than before, he expelled high amounts of Abyss all over his surroundings, his tendrils going wild as they destroyed everything around him.
Yet, the mirage didn't end, the damage he had done had registered as it should too.
'It is not a hallucination? Then...' he didn't recognise his own thoughts but didn't care for it, he could only marvel at the idea that this wasn't a trick of the mind but that the wretch had seemingly conjured up a real place.
"Is it a domain?" he wondered aloud, crawling toward a flower and plucking it from the ground.
It had a smell, the touch felt right, he couldn't see anything wrong about it, he didn't sense anything strange either.
He even brought the flower to his mouth and chewed on it, by all accounts, it seemed like everything was actually there.
'...'
If it truly was a domain ability, then the wretch should be present as well, however, he couldn't find him no matter how much he tried.
His next thought was to try and reach for the white tower and after rushing without stop toward it for multiple minutes.
It dawned on him, the tower wasn't getting any closer and nothing else seemed to be getting further either, the scenery felt absolutely real, as such, he had a hard time believing it but as he attempted to once again move in direction of the tower...
This time with a new belief in mind, he noticed it.
There was a wall in front of him, how he hadn't noticed it during the last minutes, he couldn't understand but it seemed unlikely that this was all the result of a domain ability now.
"An illusion!" he said and the moment he realised it, the veil of lies was lifted.
It was a truly marvelous illusion that had been casted while his eyes couldn't see, the towers and other attacks must have been diversions so that Axiolypito could lay this illusion that surpassed any other he had ever created.
The Abyss Eaten saw the damage he had done to the surroundings in the illusion there in the arena, meaning that his attacks and movements had all been real, the Abyssal matter he had unleashed had filled every milimeter of the arena.
There was no way the wretch had been able to evade all of it.
Still, the corrupted hunter caught no sight of his prey, he suspected that this was another illusion immediately but no, it truly appeared like this was all reality.
But then, where could have the monster gone to? There was no way out of here, the arena was large but not so large, there was nowhere to hide or take over around.
There were no towers or spawners around either.
The Abyss Eaten believed that he had been blinded, thrown around by towers and attacked in various ways by spawned creatures has a way to conceal the fact that a great illusion was enveloping him.
But the illusion hadn't damaged him in any ways, he hadn't been attacked while in the illusion, at least not to an extent that was noticeable, he wasn't poisoned either, so what was the point?
Was it all a bluff? Had he actually found a way to escape? Was something else in the work? If so, what could it be and how was it that Axiolypito remained unseen?
The corrupted man didn't understand, until he felt something warm drip on the back of his neck, without hesitation he lunged forward while turning around, as he did, the shrunk Axio returned to his original size, absolutely covered in blood.
It was a drop of blood that had fallen on the Abyss Eaten's nape, alerting him of where the wretch had been this entire time.
He couldn't have been closer, simply standing on his adversary.
The man was perplexed, Axio certainly appeared unwell, drenched in his own blood and such but what surprised him was that the surrounding Abyss, the very one he had expelled from himself in an effort to kill the monster-
It seemed completely ineffective, the blood that was coming out of the prey's every pores was due to only himself, it was self-inflicted damage.
With toothy smile and blooshot eyes, Axio had really went above and beyond there, especially with his illusion, his body was hurt but his mind screamed much louder.
Multiples minutes had gone by since the enemy had seen the illusion, and a much longer period of time since the start of his earlier combo, since then, the wretch had been multitasking.
His palms were struck together like before, however, what he was compressing between his hands was on a whole other level than his earlier trick with the rhinoceros.
The Abyss Eaten could feel it.
It was going to hurt.
