Chapter 154 - Second Phase of the King's Game (9)

Alexei didn't understand why he felt so cold in such a warm environment, and Asterion's strange eyes also shocked him.

Wasn't Asterion Black's Innate Technique the Black House Innate Technique - [Cursed Spirit Creation and Manipulation]?

So how could someone have a different Innate Technique? The absurd idea of Asterion having two Innate Techniques was so insane that it completely defied the logic of the world.

[Analyze Existence].

Two black pentagrams appeared before Asterion's eyes. They rotated and shone with a particularly cold and evil light.

"At least you lost to the man who killed Voldemort." Asterion said, a mad smile playing on his lips.

[Analysis complete.]

[Annihilate.]

*Buzzzzz*

A bolt of black energy shot out of Asterion's hand, slicing through the air in a millisecond. A powerful and extremely destructive beam of black energy, capable of atomically annihilating its intended target.

Alexei didn't know how he had dodged it in the face of such a powerful movement. He had ducked to the extreme as he watched the black beam pass within inches of his face. His heart was beating so fast it felt like it would explode in his chest; it was the first time he had ever been so close to death.

"Oh, you dodged it." Asterion was genuinely surprised, but he understood that the amount of magical energy used wasn't enough to kill a Grade 1 Warlock instantly.

If he had used Special Grade Strength, that attack would have easily cut Alexei in half. Still, it was truly surprising that he dodged it.

"Are you trying to kill me?" Alexei stood up and glared at Asterion, his face pale from having just escaped the clutches of death.

"Don't worry, even if you were hit, you wouldn't die, but you would lose an arm and a shoulder. Maybe a few more bones, but all that is insignificant information." Asterion smiled cruelly and spoke with an almost sadistic pleasure at seeing the look of fear on Alexei's face.

Asterion knew that his second innate technique - [Imperfect Destruction of Truth] - was beginning to affect him through the flow of information that constantly entered his mind, making him think that he was an omniscient god.

And a god, in Asterion's mind, has no mercy for mortals, only for himself. In Heir Black's eyes, God was the most selfish being in the universe.

When he used his second innate technique, it was almost as if an alter ego had taken Asterion's place.

But Asterion wasn't one to let something as trivial as his innate technique control him, so he slowly got a handle on it, despite the difficulty.

Alexei looked at Asterion and took a deep breath, he calmed down and began to control the entire Domino Expanse - The Lava World.

The world reverberated as the sound heralded the end of the world, brought on by the eruption of a simply colossal volcano.

The heat rose so high that Asterion's armor began to melt even faster.

But Asterion discovered that Alexei wasn't as relaxed as he seemed, and using his second innate technique, Heir Black almost immediately knew how Alexei's Domain Expansion worked!

A Test of Endurance!

Whoever lasted to the end - would win!

Asterion wanted to laugh, it was true that he was limited to a Grade 2 Warlock in every way, but in the world's power rankings, there was a clear difference between a Grade 2 Genius and an ordinary Grade 2 Warlock.

For example, Asterion could recover magical energy at least ten times faster than any Grade 2 wizard, but even though he was Grade 1, Alexei's recovery speed was still inferior to Asterion's. So the idea of using his power to win was a good one.

So the idea of winning by using his fire resistance was ridiculous in Asterion's eyes.

Let me know what you think if I attack and use even more of your magical energy. Asterion thought as he took a step forward, his armored feet stepping in the liquid lava as he walked towards Alexei.

He knew that Alexei wasn't as light as he seemed at the moment, heat resistance didn't mean heat immunity.

Like him, his resistance to negative magical energy didn't give him immunity to negative magical energy, otherwise he could create a cursed spirit to make him immortal. He could create a cursed spirit for every aspect of his body. Unfortunately, he did not have immunity to magical energy.

Alexei saw Asterion approaching, his stoic face couldn't help but change, he created his domain expansion as a test of resistance between him and the enemy. With his frightening resistance to heat, he could defeat 99% of wizards of the same level. However, Asterion Black and Rose Potter were exactly that 1%.

He couldn't touch Rose because of her innate technique. Although Asterion wasn't as tough as Rose, he was just as powerful with his various cursed spirits.

"This will be easy." Asterion spoke, a mad smile still on his face, though he was more in control.

--

Outside the Domain Expansion, everyone was surprised to see the black dome appear on the battlefield.

No one imagined that Asterion would be forced into Alexei's Domain Extension in a single moment.

Michael's face changed dramatically, he hadn't expected his former rival to hide such an important asset. If he had targeted Alexei's Domain Expansion...

"That was an unexpected surprise, who would have thought that an ant would be able to use Domain Expansion?" Rose commented, looking at the three first-level mages, her smile about to widen.

"I assume one of you three possessed a Domain Extension." She continued, ignoring the grim faces of the wizards at being called an ant. "Ana Rodriguez can't possibly have a domain, she just advanced to level 1."

"Considering the reaction to Ken's project, he doesn't have one either. That leaves just one." Rose's blue eyes fell on Fleur, her smile even wider when she saw the French bitch's grim face.

"It seems that Alexei's domain expansion has thwarted his plans to make me fall for his domain expansion." Rose continued to speak as she moved closer and closer to the French team captain. Her blue eyes began to glow unnaturally.

Fleur looked at Rose as she approached and just made a seal with her hands, she didn't mind the disbelieving looks of Ana and Michael.

Rose smiled and turned back to Cedric.

"Cedric, I'll leave Luna with you, don't hesitate to use all your power to keep her on the throne. If I come back and don't see her still on the throne, prepare for the cruelest training session you've ever had in your life." When Rose spoke, and when her voice stopped.

Fleur's cold, indifferent voice reached her.

"Domain Expansion - Inverted World."

The barriers manifested around them in an instant, encompassing Ana, Michael and Rose.
