Noctem of Destruction

"Why won't you die!!!" Halfdan bellowed as his ax suddenly began to glimmer with power. "Remfo, help me, kill this bastard! Arvid is almost done with Thor's Heavenly Wrath!"

Releasing a bloody smile, the elements began storming the area continuously, causing everyone to begin dashing around the battlefield. This battle had only been about five seconds from the beginning to now, but we were all under tremendous pressure. One strike from anyone here could kill anyone on the battlefield.

Charging once more at me, both Remfo and Halfdan roared as their qi exploded out.

"FUCK" I bellowed, expanding out my demonic wings as I shot dragonsbane out, "Ty, eliminate Halfdans Ax Arte."

Hearing a faint and weak roar, I narrowed my eyes towards the ground as millions of vines shot from below, stabbing towards me with vicious intent. Taking to the heavens, I weaved through millions of Vines trying to tear me apart. Consuming my wings in Soulforce, I tore through the air, moving as fast as possible to escape.

Pointing my fingers below, all of the elements suddenly began battling against the powerful forest arte below. Feeling my qi around forty percent, I cursed. I needed to end this, or I would be forced to flee.

Breathing heavily, I looked at the duo glaring daggers into my skull, "Arsene Snow, you truly are a monster. No wonder they wish for your death. However, this is the end!" Halfdan uttered in a victorious glimmer.

However, his smile slowly began to fade as he stared at my body, "why do you look like that? Your appearance is..."

Confusion was all but visible as I smiled, "Too late."

Appearing right behind Halfdan and Remfo stood Arvid with a small circle overflowing with horrifying pressure.

Turning his head, Halfdan suddenly gasped as horror was visible on his face as he looked at his brother in arms, Arvid.

"THIS WHERE YOU DIE, ARSENE SNOW!!!" Arvid screamed as he pointed his circle towards Remfo, whose appearance looked exactly like me. I controlled a true Dao, and all of these men before me had not even formed their Dao seed like I did when I was but an infant.

Even if they did, my comprehension was far higher than those in Nascent seed. Halfdan held Heimdallr's divinity allowing him to see through my illusions, but his teammate was not so lucky.

<Thor's Heavenly Wrath>

Everything happened in but an instant as over five large formations consumed the sky, overlapping with themselves. However, the most horrifying concept was that this formation was not absorbing Qi from Heaven and Earth but rather Divinity.

Suddenly a single bolt of azure lightning fell from the heavens tearing Midgard apart; however, with each formation it passed, its power would grow by a factor of ten. Feeling the hairs upon my body rise, my wings shot up as I charged into the distance.

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" Halfdan bellowed as Remfo turned to him, ignorant at what was going on.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!

As if hundreds of nuclear warheads had exploded, a horrifying shockwave shot through my body and land, shattering many of my bones; however, I wasn't going to let this opportunity slide as my body teleported behind the ignorant caster.

Covering in pure darkness, my eyes glimmered with demonic light-filled with the will of the nines. Clenching dragonsbane as tight as possible, blood hot as fire flowed through my veins. My mind flashing back towards the scene of Baphomet decimating that galaxy.

Activating his rune, he branded my chest with. Infinite power exploded from my body as the Darkness surrounded me simply faded, allowing my presence to be visible.

Turning his head, Arvid gasped aloud as his body began to quake, "What...what did I.."

Suddenly all color from the world began to fade out of existence. The stars began to fall, and the heavens began to cry. All of Creation quickly grew silent as all life itself began to decay.

Pulling back, dragonsbane. Black ooze suddenly began to flow from my palms, covering my palm trying to stretch over my arm but to no avail. Feeling the loving grip of my mother, my eyes grew empty as her sweet voice called deep within my soul.

"My child, oh how you have grown. Release it, my boy. It is not my will, for it comes from your soul. Release your darkness. Release your Noctem." A sweet voice uttered, sending my mind and soul into a state of truth.

"Yes," I whispered, shooting my spear towards Arvid.

Arvid was faster, stronger, and more knowledgeable, yet as dragonsbane flew towards him, he simply stood still, confused as it touched his chest.

"No!!!" Halfdom screamed as he rushed towards Arvid. "DODGE!!!"

BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

Swallowing Heaven and Earth, I felt all of Creation fueling my spear as night...True Night appeared. Ripping all of my qi away, my body itself began to wither as my vital qi began to fade. Like I had aged hundreds of years in an instant, I coughed up blood as a ray of pure darkness could be seen decimating all life in its direction. Tearing and rupturing endless mountains and forests down, endless suffering filled my soul.

Yet what should have faded after a few seconds continued to moving like the harbinger of death, bringing endless destruction on as it flew into the air heading into the endless reaches of space.

Laughing aloud in madness, my elderly body began to fade as my vital qi began recovering at an astonishing rate; within a few seconds, I had returned to my normal self.

Feeling the endless souls flowing into me, my laughter continued as I looked at the lifeless Halfdan hoving off the floor. Below stood the devastation of Arvid's divine spell. An abyss of pure darkness that spaned a few kilometers consumed my eyes.

Cracking my neck, blood continued to flow endlessly down my body as the large hole within my shoulder began to heal slowly. My entire body was heavily injured, yet I had refused to fall. With over half my bones shattered, I released a venomous smile.

"It's only us now." I uttered, with false confidence, "It would seem this was the true limit of my power. I thank you, Halfdan. Till now, I had never once pushed myself as hard as this."

Shooting me a vicious stare, Halfdan radiant eyes glimmered, "Your dantian is empty, and your-"

Pushing both Yin and Yang qi from my body, I snickered as it began swirling around me like a snake. Licking my lips, I shook my head, "Both of them are a little smaller than my main cultivation, but nothing has changed. The Court of Nox has lost this battle!"

Gritting his teeth, the echoes of the heavens could be heard as the seven emblems within the air glimmered.

Watching tears flow form his body Halfdan roared,"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! This is not over Arsene!!!"

Flashing out of my sight, I released a deep sigh of relief before teleporting away. Falling to the ground, I began hyperventilating as my injuries continue to worsen. Clawing to an aged tree, I laid defenselessly against the base as the light within my eyes began to fade in and out.

"Fuck, that...that was a tough battle," I mumbled, activating the Demonic Sacerlage Mantra. Pulling qi from heaven and earth, I began using both Yin and Yang Qi to mend my shattered bones.

"Abaddon?" A sweet voice called up as I slowly raised my head towards the new arrival. "You're alive! Have you seen my father?"

Shit!!!
