Trying his best to hide his fear, Primis posed a question.

Primis: W-When did you take over Hiruko Kagetane?

Kagetane(???): Five months ago.

Hearing this Primis couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

'Primis: What the--- Even when I chose a random world so that I didn't know which World I would appear to, this Being still only took one month to find my location in this vast Group 1.'

Though Primis planned to spend a year in "Black Bullet" world, he finished his conduct in just six months. Hence, it was shocking to know that for the last five months, he was under this Being watch and didn't realize it till now.

'Primis: No wonder I failed to fnd Hiruko Kagetane after returning from my hunt with Asaka. Thinking that because of my actions he died ahead of time by someone. Truly a blunder. If I had only given it more thought, I would have discerned something.'

Suddenly, both Ophis and Scáthach held one of his hands tightly. To others it might appear that they were trying to calm him by saying everything would be fine. However, the truth was the complete opposite.

It's them who were trying to find comfort from Primis.

With their connection, and trembling hands, Primis can sense their agitation, fear, anxiety, dread, and many other emotions. Even their instincts were screaming of incoming threat.

Last time, Ophis only watched the fight from a distance since Primis prevented her from revealing herself. But now when she was also standing face-to-face in front of this Being, she finally understood the abomination Primis and Sheng Ming fought.

'Ophis: I must applause Sister Sheng Ming to be even able to stand in the presence of this Nightmare when she was mere a 6th-Dimensional God.'

{Primis: This Being won't let us go. We have no choice but to fight.}

That's all he could say to them. He knew that giving them false hope like "I am here", "We will be fine", "I will protect you both" and so on will be useless here.

Gulping nervously, Ophis and Scáthach were about to draw their weapons when...…

Kagetane(???): Do you know why this place is so dark?

Primis didn't bother replying. He was currently using every brain cell to find a way to defeat it or flee.

It may sound cowardly, but if really think you can take on an avatar of 9th-Level Existence then you were free to try yourself.

The Being was not expecting any answer from Primis anyway, it brought its hand forward and clapped.

CLAP!!

SHINE!!!!!!!

In the next second, light burst out of the dark tunnel. It was so strong that Primis, Ophis, and Scáthach had no choice but to cover their eyes.

Once they light died down, they opened their eyes. At first, they were stunned but then they felt a chill down their spine. In the case of Primis and Ophis, it was more intense.

'Primis & Ophis: You are k-k-kidding us...…'

It was a big, long pure white hall with many pillars standing in an orderly manner supporting the ceiling. It was so long that one can't even see its end.

Kagetane(???): Remember this...…

As others turned their attention to the Being, cracks started to appear on its body one-by-one.

CRACK!!

CRACK!!

CRACK!!

CRACK!!

More and more appeared and until its body exploded.

BOOM!!!

In the next second, huge pressure fell on all three of them.

And the Being walked out.

Standing 7 feet tall with white colored bare chest. Two long black arms and legs with claws as its hands and feet along with that faceless face.

???: The White Hall. The Me. The three people standing in front of me though last time one of them was hiding and delivered the last blow.........…

CRACK!

Cracking its neck nonchalantly, it continued.

???: Last time you win by outsmarting me. It won't happen again.

Stopping, it readied itself.

???: Now then......…Let the PAST repeat itself. BUT this time the ending will be different.

.

.

.

.

.

There was a heavy atmosphere in the hall.

Both parties were looking at each other.

If it was another time, then Primis would have changed to his original template "The Black Swordsman". Though not today.

Since he had 'just' lost his "Planar Lord" power. His strength only dropped in the boundary of True Demi-God which was somewhat close to "Neo God".

In other words, right now Primis was even stronger than he was in his "The Black Swordsman" form. For the time being, that is.

SWOOSH!!

The Being moved and appeared in front of Primis in an instant.

???: Let me tell you this. This is my strongest Mortal(2nd-Level Existence) Avatar.

BAM!!!

The attack hit Primis and threw him away.

Primis: Guh!

A huge shockwave was released from the clash. While the White Hall remained unaffected, if it happened outside then countless Universes would have been erased by this shockwave.

When Primis was thrown away, Ophis and Scáthach attacked with their black sword and red spear from both sides.

Without bothering looking at it, the Being caught both the sword and spear with its hand. The strength behind the two weapons didn't affect it in the slightest.

Not giving them any chance to pull it back, it took a spin and sent them flying in different direction while its gaze never left Primis.

At some distance, Primis had stabilized himself. Because he took out his Gun-blade at the last moment and blocked the Being's claw, he didn't receive any damage.

Nevertheless, his arms still turned numb and were shivering thanks to the force behind that hit.

???: So, that's how it is. I was wondering why you gave up the Magic path and took the Zenith one. Now I understand. Seeing how your body is not affected by such a high amount of power and your complete control over it. It seems that you have already reach the rank of True Demi-God in your "The Black Swordsman" form and hit the limit.

Hearing this, Primis' expressions turned grave.

???: Knowing you, you didn't have abandoned Magic path either. Means you are taking two different paths. And since you are still using this path, it indicates that your current strength is stronger than your "The Black Swordsman" form. For some time, that is it. After all, you were Planar Lord just recently.

Primis: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And like in their previous 'meeting', the Being saw through Primis' strength easily.

Taking a deep breath, Primis brought his left hand in front.

SIU!

SIU!

SIU!

...

…

Three blue-colored sparkling power came out of nowhere from the atmosphere to Primis' hand. Once it was gathered in his hand, he grabbed it.

BOOM!!

An impulse of Zenith was released from Primis as his body got covered in bluish flame like aura. In his Dark Eyes, blue-colored flame could be seen as Primis strength increased.

SWISH!!

Appearing in front of the Being in an instant, Primis swung his blade.

SHIN!!

CLANG!!

The Being also moved its claws and blocked it.

Without a second to waste, Primis' index finger moved as he pulled the trigger.

CLICK!!

BANG!!

A zenith explosion occurred.

As Primis thought it would have at least pushed the Being back, the unscathed claw came out of the smoke and struck him.

Sidestepping, Primis barely dodged it and was about to counter when the Being displayed its extreme speed and appeared behind Primis.

Realizing that it was too late to turn, Primis in the last second moved his right arm and attacked behind without looking.

SWISH!!

Yet, the attack missed.

Since his body also moved slightly when he moved his arm, Primis saw that the Being was no longer there.

Again, he sensed the danger from behind.

This time, he pointed his left hand behind. A small amount of Zenith was released and triggered a chain of explosions.

BOOM!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!

...

…

Without looking back, Primis jumped away and maintained some distance.

DRIP!

Though the moment he landed, a drop of blood fell on the ground and a searing pain coursed through him.

A bloody slash could be seen on his back.

The Being still succeeded in landing the blow on Primis back. It teared through the defense provided by his jacket and body and injured him.

Primis didn't have time to tend to his injury as the Being walked out the smoke. Even before, when Primis hit it with "Shot" and now when he used "Burst", there no damage on the Being.

As the Being was about to continue attacking, all of sudden, it took a step back.

THRUST!

A red spear passed through his location, missing it with a breadth of a hair.

Moving its head, the Being looked at Scáthach who attacked it. She now had Gáe Bolg(Original) in both of her hands. Means she was going all out already.

The battle between Three True Demi-Gods and The Being had just begun.
