NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1498: Blake VS Asmodeus 2
-----
"That is a potent technique, but you'll need to do more than that."
His crimson eyes glowed brightly, as his power erupted, pushing back Asmodeus' Domain and weakening it, at the same time as the Vampire saw countless dragon jaws emerging from Blake's Aura, made of cosmic draconic energy.
"Even the power of dragons? How pathetic can you be? You've completely abandoned your Vampiric Upbringing to gain more power! I cannot believe I will become like you in the future...! No, I don't accept it! I reject this future!"
Asmodeus became madder, as he concentrated on all the stars he had summoned, spreading them into pure Cosmic Blood Energy Plasma, transforming them into several crimson spears, and attacking Blake with a series of piercing blows, shaking the space around them.
Blake rapidly intercepted the attacks, using Gluttony, the only Spirit he was allowed to summon in this trial, alongside his gauntlet, and rapidly beginning to clash against his past self, explosions of blood and cosmic energy surging.
Asmodeus rapidly intercepted the cosmic dragon spirits emerging to Blake's Aura, crushing their skulls and piercing their eyes, destroying them one by one with ease. However, at the same time, Blake unleashed a piercing, thunderous barrage of thrusting attacks with Gluttony, devouring the cosmic blood energy of his past self's attacks, weakening him over time.
The audience, which Blake could only describe as "strange masses of various colors, with no real appearance", began screaming and going crazy as the battle became more intense. He had no time to question who the hell were these beings watching him, as he focused solely on his foe.
"You're very strong, to be expected of my past self!"
"And you're not as strong as you should be, pathetic and weak!"
Asmodeus hissed at Blake, as their spears clashed and both tried to push one another back, only to be pushed together, their foreheads hitting each other in fury, as blood poured from their heads, both gritted their teeth, as their spears quickly aimed at each other's throats.
CLAAASH!
However, they were able to parry one another, the shockwave of their energies erupting, generating a massive explosion of cosmic energy and blood energy, tearing through space and shattering their Aura Domains instantly.
BOOOMMM!!!
The entire arena in the middle of space trembled, the audience fell silent as both vampires stared at one another, gasping for air... their battle had just started, and yet they had pushed each other this far already!
This was mostly because Asmodeus and Blake disliked long, stretched out fights, and liked ending things as quickly as possible. They were natural born predators and killers and constantly aimed to end each other's lives as swiftly as possible.
"You're good..." Blake smiled, as a crimson gauntlet manifested on his left hand.
"You're... not bad," Asmodeus muttered, his face full of anger, and yet, some recognition towards his future self started to appear.
"But you have not seen everything I can do now..." Blake said, as the Glove of Avarice glowed.
"[Celestial Ancient Vampire King's Blood Armor]!"
Avarice's crimson jewel crystal spreading dark blood energy through his body, which merged with his Nanomachine Familiars, and his Draconic Transformation, encompassing his entire body into a powerful mechanical, vampiric, and draconic armor.
"Can you face the true power your future self has cultivated now, Asmodeus?"
"Heh..." Asmodeus, for the first time, smiled. The same excitement he once had when he faced Lucifer was now experienced by him. "Of course I do!"
His Aura erupted, as a gate in space and time opened, revealing a giant armory with thousands of weapons forged using cosmic materials and his own blood and soul.
"{Cosmic Blood Soul Armory}!"
Thousands of powerful weapons spun around Asmodeus, as several pieces of armor were quickly equipped over his body, a powerful, Ancient Cosmic Vampire Armor he had stolen from the Treasure of the Ancient Vampire Families, and reforged with his own Soul, refined into his own Soul-Bound Cosmic Treasure.
RUMBLE!
In a nanosecond, both vampires clashed, explosions of blood and shadows erupting, as Asmodeus' weapons attacked Blake from every angle, while Blake generated several cannons from his armor, firing beams everywhere and launching missiles powered by draconic cosmic energy and blood energy.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions of energy erupted everywhere, both Asmodeus' weapons and Blake's missiles exploded, causing the battle to elevate to an even higher level.
Blake wasted no time, kicking the empty space behind him and reaching Asmodeus, his spear, Gluttony, suddenly growing thrice as long, with a massive halberd-like axe-blade at the tip, he swung it down, clashing against Asmodeus back and destroying part of his armor.
Asmodeus retaliated with a furious vampiric hiss, punching Blake's face with his armored fists, followed by several swords clashing against Blake's armor and shattering pieces out of it, before the swords exploded, dealing even more damage.
Blake followed by using Avarice's powers once more, as he wanted to test how strong his new Weapon Spirit was.
"[Crimson Eyes of Sangre]!"
TRUUUM!
Both of Blake's eyes glowed brightly, as their demonic powers activated. The Demonic Eye of Paralysis, the Demonic Eye of the Gravity, and more stacked together, suddenly paralyzing Asmodeus in place, his furious red eyes glaring at Blake while his sharp teeth gritting tightly.
Blake immediately went after the kill, his spear glowing and absorbing his surrounding energy- no, devouring it, as Gluttony grew longer and spiraling in midair, reaching Asmodeus chest and...
"{Blood Apocalypse}!!!"
Asmodeus screamed to the heavens, his blood energy reserves instantly emerging and erupting, Blake's eyes widened as he felt genuine fear for a second, as a massive explosion engulfed him at point blank in that very moment.
BOOOMMM!!!
"Your Blood shall only feed my power!"
"What?!"
However, amidst the massive explosion, Blake's form emerged within the smoke, the blood energy that should have at least dealt massive damage spiraled around his body and then was absorbed, showing Asmodeus his true power.
"Dragon Tongue...! You damned bastard..."
Asmodeus was both furious and... happy?
He was smiling in disbelief, his entire body bleeding as he laughed.
"Hah...! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
"..."
"Amusing! Too amusing! Just how much power have you stacked in that frail human body of yours?! My future self, just how desperate are you?!"
"It's no longer just about us, Asmodeus!"
