Fight to the death

[System: The guardian has used the spell [Elemental shots]. The mana will now be injected into the chosen element of the guardian's desire. The elemental chosen has been the main priority for the randomization pool. There's a high chance that fire attribute shots will have higher chances of appearing]

The abnormal imp and the human variant who's known as Neon immediately broke out a barrage of attacks. Dozens of spells rained upon each of the opposing sides, whilst they dodge and counter the ones directly striking their lives. Even though the abnormal originated from the race known as imps, we're known for their magic and illusions. The mutation of the shard belonging to the orb of catastrophe made it possible for it to obtain a different attribute

"Die!!!" In an instance when Neon's blade was about to strike its body after he appears when the abnormal was distracted by his feints. Not even the sharpness of his eyes could anticipate what had occurred. The abnormality manifested an attribute of gaining access to a whole new specialty that surprises him the most

"Sword ki?" A sword created by the pure mana dwelling inside the body of the abnormality, it was similar to what he uttered. But that skill was only available for a guardian who possesses the stat known as chi. What the abnormality created was nothing but an iteration, a skill that was able to imitate such a complex skill

"Kukukuku, have a taste of my creation!! Mana manipulation, new and improved magic edge. Magic sword manifestation!!!" The abnormal only injected a few chunks of its mana and a manifested sword that grew sharper than ever. Both its speed and power were enhanced it was already such a remarkable sight, the abnormal mana have a physical form. For something like that to occur, the caste would've had a deep focus on the shape of its mana

"Empower, increase my current speed, Basic sword arts, Triple slash!!" Neon parried the abnormals sword which was created with its mana. The clash of their blades manages to overwhelm the vines he manifested that acted as a shield to block the monster who swore loyalty to the abnormal. His sword was being pushed along with his body that was weaker compared to its opponent

[Special ability: Thornerus bone structure has been activated by the guardian's desire. The host has chosen to utilize the special ability of its defensive counterpart. The exoskeleton has been created within the body of the host, whilst it stretches out to create a supporting pillar]

The exoskeleton formed around his scales whilst the supporting bones manages to bring him back to his rightful place. When he realizes that the abnormals mana was weakening due to its aggressive attacks. Even if it was a second it gave Neon a small opening, with the help of his exoskeleton he pushes back with all his might. Knocking his enemy to a corner whilst spitting on his sword magnifying its poisonous effect

[System: Due to the converted bodily fluids created by the fangs of the hydra, the host spit has turned into a potent poison. The poison was stronger than the one inside the void serpent's great sword, the poison has increased its power. Its poison has been temporarily changed from void serpent to the hydra for the next 10 minutes]

"You'll have to try better than that!!!" The abnormal use its mana to quickly take control of its surroundings. Harnessing the power to have the ability to freely manipulate its mana, the ground began to move by its command. Turning that useless piece of land into a means to block Neon's venomous sword negating his attacks. However, the gravel couldn't even handle the venomous poison that was potent enough to melt its way through its thickness. Making it possible for Neon's attack to strike the surface of the abnormal

His golden eyes guide him in his goal to end the life of the abnormality he currently faced. The power to make him see an afterimage that reveals its next move came in handy when it came to dodging its attacks. But slowly he realizes that his time was limited to a few minutes before his buffs were to expire. Having that inside his thoughts, he made it clear that he'll have to incapacitate the abnormal with his limited time

"Hahahahha!! It seems that I was right... You're stalling for time!! Do you think this will be enough to bring me down? Fool!! I wouldn't dare face my kind if I couldn't even avenge their lives. You look like a human being, but I can see through your true nature... You're nothing but a monster hiding in that fake identity, hehehehehe. Too bad that this will be your final memories!!!" The grounds shook after the abnormal uttered those words, something was approaching their location

The quake became stronger as time passes by, then after a few minutes, silence plagued their surroundings. Not long before a loud and clear sound of a hundred or more imps burst forth from the ground, whilst they stared at his front. Their eyes filled with the intent to end his life and their growls sounded like the cries of their fallen brethren. The imps quickly flew in his direction, encircling him and blinding his vision from the abnormality

[System: Warning, multiple debuffs have been stacked to the guardian's body!! We advise you to seek help as soon as possible, the guardian's health has drastically decreased. Warning!!! The guardians have entered a life-threatening phase!!! The guardian has zero possibilities to escape!!!]

Countless spells shredded the scales of the nightmarish behemoth, which not even his exoskeleton could hope to endure. But why is it that Neon had a huge grin on his face? Was he hoping for something to occur, was there something that the abnormal was aiding him to accomplish? All that was known is that even at his lowest point

This man no this homunculus would go mad. Every choice he took had a reason and every action he performed had a price. But what kind of thing will he accomplish if he bets his life? Even though he had a chance he didn't even move and it only resulted in his body being torn apart with every fiber of his being. The abnormal was at the edge of its life after it receive such a blood-pumping situation

[System: You've chosen to detonate the little helper, the summoned imp has accepted its fate

Outcome: Due to a stroke of luck with luck the explosion rate and power of the detonation have covered a large area. The monsters that died have been converted as the guardian's experience points]

"Do you think I wouldn't be suspicious of the disappearance of your main army!!? What do you take me for a mindless baboon?" From the depths of the ground, the abnormality had flown, there was a large bone that pierced through its body. Revealing that the one his minions had attacked we're nothing but an illusory trap that he spread to surprise his cunning foe. With the amount of mana, he used to create the large bone that pushes the abnormality to the top of the restricted space

The abnormal no longer had any kind of outside help, and the vines on top kept its body in check. Whilst another bone structure rises from the ground and reveals Neon who's riding on top of the rising platform made out of his bone. In hopes of delaying the inevitable fate that the abnormal possesses, it tries to flee with the use of its magic. Unfortunately, its enemy had anticipated such a possibility and it notice the devouring leeches with the fangs of the hydra

[System: The following debuffs have been given towards the abnormality originating from the imp race: [Weakening] [Paralysis] [Bleeding] [Poison] [Reduce physical resistance] [Reduce magical resistance] [Penetrable] etc.]

"I won't!!! I won't allow it!!! You must die!!!" The last option of the abnormal was to use the full power of the shard belonging to the orb of catastrophe. Without any kind of hesitation, its body lights up with a dark glow that engulfs its surroundings. Dark and dreadful energy leaked out of its body whilst it chanted for the very last time, firing a huge ass spell hurling toward Neon's direction

[System: The lesser homunculus detected the life of its main body!! For safety precautions, the lesser homunculus's insatiable hunger was put to a stop. The homunculus arrives at the main location of the main body]

Neon responded for the final time with the use of his mutated sentient hand that came by his side. Using his previously severed hand, he calls upon the power that it possesses. He changes the huge ass thing to a horrifying weapon of his choosing, he armed it with the scales of the nightmarish behemoth. Making it more difficult for it to break and the bone structure of the thornerus hound as its main weapon

[System: The Devouring leaches hunger has been satisfied, The Devouring leaches hunger has been satisfied, The Devouring leaches hunger has been satisfied...

Outcome: The guardian has gained 9 on attack, 6 on health, 8 on defense, 10 on speed, and finally 40 on mana]

"Homunculus shift, Bow of abomination!" With the arrival of his mutated arm, he gained another increase in his stats. He uses the remains of his mana and propels the gigantic needle with every single drop of his mana. Even with all of that mana behind that last spell the abnormal had cast, it was easily pierced by his needle

"Muhahahahahaha, your attack had negated my attack but im still alive!!" The force of the abnormal spells messes with the trajectory of Neon's final attack. Only for it to be a centimeter short for its edge to have pierced the body of the abnormal. It laughs after his attack had failed to take its life, but as soon as the smoke had dissipated, he jumps from the towering platform. Along with the use of his brute strength, he swings his sword at a high velocity making him travel to the top. Whilst he performs one of the most brutal attacks within his very first choice of attack

"Basic sword arts, Whirling death!!!" Finally, at long last, his sword manages to fully strike the surface of his foe for the very first time. Whilst it also became his last after the impact was far too powerful for not even its body could endure. He was left with a mutilated chunk of meat and his sword had even managed to touch and split apart the sky. After his swing had fully undone his restricted space, he was able to finally witness a wonderful night. To think he fought for a whole day until the night had arrived to greet the one who came to be victorious
