Banishing Kill

Banishing Kill is a technique which allows him to pull himself over a distance, delivering a near instantaneous and fatal slash to his opponent as he is propelled across from them at supersonic speed. 

It's a combination of movement skill and attack skill, two birds with one stone. 

"Arrgh! "

Ambre groaned painfully and spurted out a mouthful of blood as the blade of the spear slashed through his body, cutting deep into his flesh. 

He staggered backward, clutching at the wound, his fiery form flickering and wavering in the intense heat of the flames.

As Ambre reeled from the attack, Aryan seized the opportunity to strike. With a swift motion, he unleashed a barrage of solar-powered punches, each blow fueled by the fiery energy of the Sun. 

"Yaahhhh..... Urgh...! "

Ambre fought desperately to defend himself, but the relentless assault soon proved too much for him to bear.

"Danaus, save me! "

"Go to hell! "

With a final, decisive blow, Aryan delivered the finishing strike, sending Ambre crashing to the ground with a resounding thud.

The flames around him flickered and died, leaving behind only smoldering embers as the last remnants of his fiery form faded away.

"No, Ambre! "

Danaus exclaimed in shock and immediately flashed beside his body.

"Ambre, wake up buddy, hang on with me. "

Danaus bent down to help Ambre but soon gave up.

He noticed that Ambre had already stopped breathing.

Angry, he looked up at Aryan with red eyes and said through gritted teeth.

"How dare you! "

Aryan met Danaus's gaze evenly, his expression unreadable as he prepared for the inevitable confrontation.

Despite the gravity of the situation, he remained composed, his mind racing with thoughts of strategy and defense.

"First you killed Herodius and Harman," Danaus accused, his voice trembling with barely-contained rage. "You took away our ally, our friend. And now you've taken Ambre from us as well."

"Oh? I didn't expect to get such a severe reaction from you by killing the fireboy. Could it be that he was your friend? "

Aryan raised his eyebrows in doubt.

He could feel that the other party had no feeling when he mentioned about Herodius and Harman's death. But while talking about Ambre, there were visible fluctuations in his tone.

Danaus's eyes narrowed, his grip tightening on his blade as he prepared to strike.

"You'll pay for what you've done, Aryan. I swear it in the name of my father, God Hermes. "

With a bang, Danaus disappeared from the place and rushed towards Aryan.

And due to his supersonic speed, Aryan was naturally unable to see him and thus unable to defend against his attacks.

* boom * * click * * boom *

"Argh! "

Aryan retreated back dozens of metres while reeling in pain.

He was bleeding from many places after being slashed by Danaus hundreds of times.

In fact, if it had been at night, without the defense and healing of the Sun, Aryan wouldn't even have been able to last this long.

"No, it can't go on like this. First, I have to get out of this barrage of attacks before thinking about the next plan of action. "

Aryan murmured while trying to catch his breath, clutching the gaping wound on his abdomen.

Once again, he used the same tactic as last time and activated the Sin of Lust's ability to create hundreds of life like clones of himself which dispersed in different directions.

And secondly, he activated Sin of Greed's 'Zero Sign' ability which somehow makes him invisible and undetectable, by "stealing" other's perception of him.

"Hmph, cheap tricks. But they won't work on me the second time. "

Danaus snorted coldy.

And the next moment, he flashed a couple of times, easily taking care of all the clones.

"Come out you coward, or are you just going to keep hiding? "

Danaus tried to use this aggravating tactic to anger Aryan into coming out of invisibility.

But of course, Aryan wasn't so dumb as to fall for such an obvious trick.

However, he was really in a pickle right now.

And it's not that he hasn't tried. The biggest problem in dealing with Danaus is that he is too fast. When he attacks Aryan, Aryan couldn't dodge. But when Aryan attacks Danaus, the other party is so fast that the attacks couldn't land.

As a matter of fact, Aryan even used the Banishing Kill on this guy, trying to get him just like he did with Ambre.

And he even succeeded in his plan, albeit only partly. He did manage to appear right next to him thanks to the magical skill, but just when he wanted to strike him, in that microsecond, the opponent reacted and dodged easily.

Moreover, the chances of success in using this trick again have also plummeted, making it unusable again.

"To be honest, I think I should learn Astras too and broaden my ways of fighting. Moreover, my destructive power is nothing compared to Brahmastra and other forbidden astras. Getting them will definitely help me in the long run. Well, that's for later. For now, I have to think of a way to deal with this slippery guy. "

In the middle of lamenting, Aryan suddenly exclaimed excitedly .

"Wait a moment, speaking of slippery, I think I have an idea. May be, I can deal with him just like I dealt with Takshak back then. "

"And it's just the right time. "

Aryan smiled as he looked up at the sky, the sun was right above his head.

It was noon.

Immediately, he acted on his plan without delay.

Taking a deep breath, Aryan stabilized his state and calmly walked near Danaus. Since he was using 'Zero Sign', the other party couldn't see, hear, feel or smell him even if he leaned on him.

But unfortunately, the other party knew this and was constantly changing his place at supersonic speed so that Aryan can't approach him.

However, it was still possible to get in a nearby range from him.

And after doing so, Aryan held Moksha with both hands and lifted it above his head.

"The One! "

A humongous amount of power, almost abysmal, filled his whole body.

"True Spirit Spear activate! "

True Spirit Spear is the complete form of the divine spear, achieved only when the user draws out the true power of the Sacred Tree.

It is activated with the command "Sacred Treasure Release, after which the user's body is flooded with magic from the Sacred Tree.

But the magical burden it puts on Aryan is so great that his body cannot physically sustain the immense power and he is left exhausted and wounded.

The minimum requirements to be able to sustain this form are S level attributes and thanks to 'the One state', he was temporarily able to meet the conditions to activate it's ultimate form.
