Battle of self - 2

I jumped to the right at the same time focusing Protection Intent over my neck. The blade was diverted by my protection, but it skillfully followed my protection, finally piercing my left shoulder.

After tumbling, I turned to where the blade came, finding a crack in the air. The crack started propagating becoming bigger until it broke, another personality of mine coming from it, this time his hair and eye color was really strange, with a fusion of different colors that seemed to blur. He was holding a translucent Nine Treasure Sword.

I took my sword with my mouth and using my right hand I extracted the blade on my shoulder, blood leaking from the injury. Only to find what it seemed to be a glass fragment that quickly disappeared on my hands. I focused my Life Intent on my wound stopping the bleeding. I would need some time before I could use my left arm again.

"So you evaded my attack, eh? I should have gone for the heart" he said with a cold and analytical voice. He slashed the air and more glass-like objects shot towards me.

For what it seemed he would be the one formed by space, this fragment would be a type of attack form of him, attacking with fragments of space. These fragments may be dangerous to face with physical attacks, but with my intent, there shouldn't be any problem. I easily deflected all the fragments coming towards me, to only find that he had disappeared.

It seemed that he focused on assassination, now that I was ready, let's see how he react. Suddenly, I sensed the air around me strange, it seemed to have twisted "So a domain"

"crack!" I turned to the crack slashing my sword at it, reflecting a glass-like fragment. I sensed something wrong and side-stepped "Buaa!" I vomited blood, finding his Nine Treasure Sword pierced at my stomach.

The Space personality appeared 10 meters away from me. He scratched his chin thoughtfully "If you trick to your rival, you have half the victory. For you to think that cracks are needed for my attacks, in my domain is not necessary" He swung his sword multiple times, cracks started appearing around me, some made a sound while others don't.

I closed my eyes, Life Intent focusing on my wounds, and using my Mind Eye at maximum. I could detect all the attack, each of them produced a tiny discord in the space, easily detectable by my sense.

I invoked a shield made of aura around me stopping all the projectiles "Fuck" I quickly twisted my ankle swinging my sword at my back, stopping a fragment. It seems that he could even make them appear inside my shield.

I focused on the shield and the aura of it started condensing in 4 white spheres surrounding me, these were concentrations of my own domain. They orbited around me, blocking each attack that came towards me, the glasses dispersing when they came in contact with one. I decided to passively defend until I was healed enough.

"Defense types are the worst enemy for my sneaky attacks" he said coldly "Time would be bad for me, as he would be able to heal himself. I will finish now with my strongest attack". His domain disappeared.

He lifted his sword upwards, a lot of cracks extended from the tip, breaking the sky over him. He then positioned in a sheathed position.

(I won't let be surprised again) I thought focusing will at my sword preparing to unleash my defense at any moment.

"Sword Heart!" he shouted, the space fragments started being absorbed by his sword, that started shining with a strange light. "<Dimensional Slash>!" He unsheathed his sword shooting a large blade of space energy.

This attack was the condensation of Space, it would go over every defense, rather than break through it, it would cut the space around it, completely ignoring any defense. However, this would different facing my Protection, with my own understanding it would be able to stop it, becoming a fight of pure strength, like when facing the nullity of Renxue or Xiao Wu.

I clenched my sword with my right hand and pointed it at the attack "Bloom!" a seven-petalled flower grew at the tip "<Rho Aias>" a seven-layered barrier was created. The Dimensional Slash crashed to my shield, but somehow its power didn't seem too much.

"Crack!" While I was focused on the attack in front, Space personality appeared at my back "People always think too much of the strongest attack, but they can become mere distractions" he thrust his shining sword toward my heart.

"Fuck!" Seeing the sword coming I knew that I could react to stop it, at least normally. A black ring shined, my sword started emitting Lightning. With my new speed, a twisted my body that seemed to have become sparks, Space only gracing me. I slashed at him, he barely could parry it "You suck at close combat" after two more swings, his sword left his hand and I thrust my sword at his heart.

All the cracks around disappeared, even the Dimensional Slash that had destroyed 5 layers. Space was slowly dissolving in particles "It is my loss. I did not put Lightning in the equation, it was my own ignorance" his particles were absorbed by my sword, its 5th layer becoming illuminated and gaining another black spirit ring.

Somehow it seemed that my injuries were completely healed, having recuperated my full strength.

"Rumble!" ground appeared at my feet followed by a thunderous sound. The ground started trembling and mountains started emerging from it. Each mountain starter spitting lava and flames, they were volcanos. The space had turned hell, a rain of fire eternally falling, rivers of lava everywhere.

In a river of lava, I figure emerged, he was another personalty. This time, he had fiery red hair that undulated with the wind resembling flames. Fire seemed to burn in his red eyes.

He turned to me with an angry and pissed face "You are the useless main one. For you to focus on defense is such idiocy. Power!" he opened his arms, the volcanos becoming more active "Defense, technique, resources. It doesn't matter when faced with absolute power!"

A red Nine Treasure Sword appeared at his hand. He held it with both of his hand and lifted pointed to the sky, a black ring shining brightly "Turn all to ashes!" he shouted angrily. All the rivers and rain converged at his sword that exploded with powerful flames "<Hecatomb>!" he swung his sword towards me, a pillar of fire approaching towards me. Its power was comparable with Paul's Sword Heart, but it was only power, it lacked understanding, it won't be able to burn ideas.

My sword shined with a translucent "<Warp>" I slashed at the air, appearing 50 meters away with a crack. His attack passed through my previous position, explosions occurred across its path, not even flames stood there having been blasted away, only ashes remained.

I turned to the red-headed "It doesn't matter the power if it can't hit"

"Fucker!" he shouted trembling "How you dare to escape!?" he swung his sword again, dragging a river of lava with it, shooting it towards me.

Like before I warped away from his attack, evading its destructive nature. He continued madly attacking like a berserker, however, each attack consumed a great deal of power. He quickly started getting tired, each attack becoming weaker.

"I won't let such a coward live!" he lifted his sword and pierced his own heart "Hahahahaah" he laughed vomiting blood, powerful fire energy was emitting from his body, much stronger than any attack, a suicide technique being capable of skipping ranks "Take a taste of m-" He took too long. Before he finished I activated my speed ring, with lightning speed reaching him and with a simple swung I cut his head. I wasn't enough familiar with Space to warp in a chaotic space like around him.

His head flew away with a shocked and angry face, turning red particles before landing followed by the still-standing body. The particles were absorbed by my sword, its first layer shining red and obtaining a new black ring.

"Rumble!" the ground started trembling, the lava of the rivers seemed to become more liquid, and the ground around me started crumbling leaving me over a ground platform surrounded by the new lava.

"Haaaaaa!" different cries could be heard from the river, some were of pain, other of resentment, some were furious, all of them carrying negative feelings. This new lava wasn't lava at all, it was blood!

From the blood, a bloody figure surged. He had red-dark hair with black dead eyes. He looked at me "Another one for the collection". He grinned viciously.
