Just how much
could one demon spam? He had to be averaging seven or at all times since the assault of the began. CAN HE STOP TRYING TO USE ?! Was this seriously how strong Nil got? It was much closer to Scius than I was expecting which was majorly unsettling. Did Nyx lie about this being a copy of adult Nil? The was correct, but the skill and amount of were nagging at my mind; this was bordering on the absurd with what it was capable of. Luna was about what I expected, slightly stronger but not out of line. Nil on the other hand, was proving to be much, much more than I expected. Is it Scius having gotten stronger than I realized? Copy Nil tried yet again to away with Duke Dawnsfield this time as I borrowed Nil’s to dissolve the . I had to use Nil’s vision to check to make sure no time was inbound almost constantly. There had to be some method to determine when time was dilating other than using Nil's vision because the ordeal was clearly taking a toll on him.
began forming. I cast my own to intercept his so the two would cancel out before he successfully managed to rip someone away from the team. With Nil’s , I saw him using to make one for each person again while simultaneously launching an to back it up. That was not worth the to stifle meaning it was just better to use to make plates to block the attacks. Nautilus in her full form kept attacking Nil who used to create a massive tunnel of distance to keep her away which was slowing him down. Forcing the replica Nil to use a portion of his and to keep Nautilus away from him slowed down his overall assault finally. Something in my head clicked when I saw the water dilate out to see how far copy Nil stretched the space in order to keep Nautilus away from him.
to bend away from Poam, which got arced back by a from the copy. Poam evaded the attack as I noticed the droplets changed again; several other were in the space that he and I battled over where they were going towards.
Nil already began the next portion of his assault as he tried yet again to try and imprison me in a while using on Poam as he also kept trying to toss elder Nil in a . I used Nil’s to battle and counteract the some more while Nautilus finally broke his to slug him full force. Replica Nil put his arm out and caught the first punch as the projected ones descended upon him. She used , , and to attack him as he made a shell of to protect himself. Seriously, how was he so proficient? It was unsettling how well the copy was able to fight and defend itself. It had to be improved by Nyx somehow, right? The control, casting, and overall were at a level that was surprising. Maybe Nyx imbued it with Scius’s skill level? Why was copy Nil this proficient?
danced along where she took the full strength hit from Nil. Seriously, did he ever get bored of trying to rip someone away from me? The droplets went haywire as the manifested in front of everyone beginning their assault.
was used to destroy the as I erased their . I checked Nil, seeing he was about at his limit. His eyes looked like they were starting to overheat and his body looked like it was being held together by his will alone. Replica Luna used , trying to break our minds. Everyone winced as she began using on top of it to obscure our senses, making a gap for Nil. Her were not being cast ceaselessly like Nil's, but were adding to the overall frustration from how obnoxious they were to defend against. Poam and Azzeck attempted to reach her again, hitting the made by copy Nil making the gap between them miles as he stretched the space so they couldn’t get close. How quickly he adapted to manifesting and attack queueing only to stop me from moving kid Nil into the way was infuriating. I used to bring kid Nil to his mom as she was now standing back up, looking like she was in agony. Not surprising given how powerful the attack she took was.
.” I told the groggy Senna.
Nautilus away because he clearly didn't want to keep dealing with her. It was undeniably risky to untether myself from Nil as his and were helpful in keeping the replica in line, but if this pace kept up kid Nil was going to die. It was worth the risk, so I undid . Replica Nil immediately focused on me, but it was too late. I grabbed him, Nautilus, and forcefully helped him finish where we all appeared in what looked like a warzone. Nautilus seemed surprised for a moment as she realized it was only me, her, and replica Nil. Nil wasted zero time casting several now that kid Nil was not nearby. Nautilus cast to generate a massive ocean for us all to fight in and shielded against the small suns he was throwing at us; I used to support Nautilus, creating a massive fracture in the to counter as it began devouring the suns. The flow around us faltered, showing his time dilation was back in action. I cast right at Nil as neither of us were trying to stop any at this point, instead just throwing our nastiest at each other.
and a to augment the attack against replica Nil while Nautilus deduced that she needed to keep him from fleeing. Her , , , and now applied to me directly as she didn’t have to concern herself with overwhelming kid Nil’s body. She positioned herself on the opposite side of Nil as her attacked him from the other side. He went to distort the space around himself, only to realize I was forcefully trying to bend it back as we resumed our battle for supremacy of the area. Nautilus controlled the currents in the to arc her attacks more accurately at him. Nil vanished as Nautilus was now gushing her green blood into the sea as his took a dent. Thankfully, he wouldn't be able to easily break our defenses and keep time stopped for more than a second or two. Nautilus used her to forcefully stitch the wound closed as she without pause kept attacking him and trying to crush him with the weight of the sea.
Nil didn’t panic, remaining eerily calm as I launched a few at him, trying to think of which was the most suited for breaking through his immense defenses. For the first time in this entire slog of a fight, replica Nil wasn’t trying to cast multiple or trying to activate numerous simultaneously; he focused purely on being defensive to stop us from connecting with him. I could see his mind thinking a mile a minute as he was trying to figure out the best path forward. He stacked , , plates of , and minor time dilation to create an unbreakable shield around him. He adjusted his defenses with ease to keep us at bay while he thought over how to approach the fight. Was bombarding him with gaining us anything? Letting the replica have time to think and recover was undeniably not a winning strategy for Nautilus and me.
to keep up with the deluge of information from fighting replica Luna and Nil. I began fused my nine eyes down to three, stacking them as they began glowing a bright red, turning the Nautilus conjured a deep crimson from the light they were emitting. I formed my own with one eye set, with a different eye set, and a stabilizing structure with the last one as I manifested a
. Nautilus put a massive wall of up as the world shook all around us from the ruinous blast that erupted. The then began collapsing on itself as I now rushed the replica of Nil, launching a point blank as he was forced to focus all his defense on the explosion.
Nil’s took a massive hit as he and all my vanished while all the sea swirled in a contained orb. I then realized I was bleeding heavily from a sword in my thigh. What? Important lesson was even in frozen time, constructs stayed in effect which I knew but that was a bit more than I realized. I put my hand on the sword as I collapsed it into a tiny speck, so he no longer had a sword. His arm was bleeding heavily as it clearly took some damage from the assault. After a few moments, Nil vanished. Where did he go? Wait, . I grabbed Nautilus and immediately went after him, seeing kid Nil’s eyes bleeding heavily as the nearly finished a proper and combo. At least I could tell replica Nil was finally running out of , not that I wasn't running out myself.
and successfully delayed his next assault. Nautilus went to bite him in half, where he quickly rotated and dodged off of her to avoid the fatal blow. I immediately used to trap him where he was and restore the time dilation check while Elder Nil came up, successfully burying his sword where the heart should be with a massive detonation. As the collapsed and fell apart, the last bits of vanished suddenly, seeing it used its final moments to bury its hand in his throat with an equally devastating coating his hand.
Luna froze for a moment, looking soul crushed and despondent as replica Nil finally fell. That gap was all Poam needed to slice her in half to deal with that headache. I quickly grabbed the dying elder Nil, bringing him to Senna who desperately began trying to heal him. His head was still attached, but his throat and neck were grievously wounded by that hit from Nil. I grabbed Nil who looked ready to lose it, preparing to rewind time; I wasn’t going to let two of Nil’s family die. I felt Nil’s body, realizing his was spent as his blood was flashing in hisses of steam off his . My body was screaming from the fight with replica Nil and eating the for him left me drained. My was too low to cast . Unfortunately, elder Nil's life hung precariously in the balance.
