The next second, the dark red beam was sent backward and began to head towards Deus at an alarming speed that surpassed its previous speed.
Desus panicked and used all his strength to dodge to the right and barely managed to evade the incoming death strike. Although it was he who fired this attack, even he wouldn't take this strike head-on.
The death ray traveled a long distance and eventually collided with an asteroid that somehow managed to survive in the Dimension Gap.
There was a loud bang before the asteroid, which should have been made out of some excellent and durable metals, for it to survive here, began to decompose at a rapid speed. And in just seconds, the asteroid was gone, and none of its traces were left at all.
Roxanne and Deus, who saw this, both gulped involuntarily. They both looked at each other and came to a shocking conclusion.
'I/He should definitely not use that skill ever again, ' they both thought at the same time. That strike was very deadly, even to a world spirit, as it targeted the lifeforce of any person it touched. And this included the caster himself. This is one of the reasons why this spell was lost in the age of time. Every caster who could use this spell was either killed by a misfire or due to the passage of time.
So, now you may get a nagging question: why did Deus use this skill, even knowing all this? Well, to answer that, as we know, Deus can copy and use all the abilities that everyone in this world has and use them just like the original user himself.
But at the end of the day, Deus is just copying the abilities of the person involved. As we all know, the original will never lose to the fake. Furthermore, just because Deus knows the skill does not mean he has complete control over the spell.
At best, the knowledge he has barely covers the basics. He only knows that this attack is strong and not its horrors.
Adding to the fact that his combat experience is very low, Roxanne can't think of Deus as a baby boy who is now playing in a nuclear plant control room. One wrong switch and they all go kaboom.
'Okay, calm down, Roxanne, you just need to cut his hands before he is able to use that spell again. And besides, didn't that bastard just threaten her?' Roxanne thought with narrowed eyes.
No one who threatened her is alive and living well. Take Rizevim as a perfect example. She only made him bathe in a pond of holy water and invited him seriously to dance. Then the poor guys had never gotten a good night's sleep.
'And I can't stay here for too long, ' Roxanne thought as she readied her weapon. Although the dimensional gap is very chaotic for the rest of the pantheons, they do not have the skills and strength to successfully explore it. There are still many forces that have many surveillance devices inside the dimensional gap.
She isn't willing to blow her cover just yet. Especially not with this bastard who can manipulate all living beings. If this bastard really tried, he could actually make everyone turn against her without anyone finding it strange.
This is the unique authority that the world spirit has. And this is also why Roxanne decided to kill him. Who knew when this bastard would make someone near her lose their mind?
Even she can't be sure of whether she would be able to restrain them if that ever happened. After all, none of the girls in the shadow garden are weak. Roxanne made sure of that herself. Their survival skills are second to none. So that's why, to nip the threat, this guy had to die.
Thinking of this, Roxanne looked at Deus with her killing intent fully released. Now then, she should take this seriously.
Changing her weapon once again, Roxanne held a large naginata with one hand and took a stance. Then a cloak that is filled with the Power of Destruction began to cover her whole body.
Her black hair also began to show signs of beginning to turn silver, a clear sign of her unlocking part of her demonic bloodline. For this next move of hers, she needed her devil bloodline, or else the power wouldn't be enough.
Then the aura of destruction began to dim and slowly began to gather around the blade.
Deus, who noticed Roxanne's move frowened and decided to interrupt her. No matter what type of move it is, as long as he interrupts his opponent, Deus can use this to find a weakspot to strike and deliver a fatal blow.
In high-level battles such as these, only by critically injuring the other party could one win. Or else the fight would either end in a draw, or it would continue for many years until one party is tried first.
With a wave of Desus's hand, numerous magic circles from different magic systems appeared. The next second Roxanne was bombarded with numerous attacks.
Seeing this life-threatening attack, Roxanne didn't panic. Because she had already finished her preparations.
"Whitebeard," Roxanne shouted as she swung her naginata horizontally. The space seemed to be cut open as the knife blade suddenly disappeared.
The next Deus found himself in a world full of glass cracking. In this dimensional gap where the space laws are already in shambles, Roxanne's strike had just destroyed the whole space around them.
This is a move Roxanne created, imitating Whitebeard's tremor-tremor fruit. This is also why she named this move Whitebeard. What she does is concentrate all the power of destruction into the blade and coat it with her own demonic magic. Then, when she swings the blade, it will go through the space layer and then release the concentrated power of destruction.
This way, the space layers would begin to crumble from the inside, making glass-breaking sounds and visual effects similar to Whitebeard's tremor-tremor fruit.
But due to the power of destruction being used, the effect is far more dangerous and grander than what Whitebeard could achieve.
As the space around them disintegrated, both of them began to feel the effect of the vacuum that tried to suck both of them. Fortunately neither of them was weak enough to get sucked away.
But then again, Roxanne didn't use this move to finish Deus off. She did this to make sure all the surveillance devices that were placed here would be destroyed or at least be unable to work in this vacuum space.
After all, with everyone watching, she can't possibly show her trump cards, right?
