With a roar, Akira rushed forward. When he was in range, he attacked Deliora with his favorite sword move.
"One slash destroys the heaven. "
A purple sword slash erupted from Akira's sword and went straight towards Deliora. Whenever the sword slash passed by, the space would be distorted, and the sounds of glass shattering would be heard.
This is the sword attack Akira replicated, using One Slash Devours the Heaven as a basis. And unlike the original, where he concentrated the devouring ability, this time, he is using Anos's destruction ability.
And since Anos's destruction power is far superior to Rimuru's devouring ability, the sword slash is also far more powerful than the original. And add to the buff of Akira's dragon blood awakening and his use of haki, and this sword strike is simply one of Akira's most powerful attacks.
"Roar." Deliora once again sensed danger from that sword slash, so he didn't hesitate and fired a magic attack.
Magic power began to gather inside Deliora's mouth and soon formed a round, dark purple, ominous ball. Then, without any hesitation, it fired straight at the incoming sword strike, causing a sonic boom that destroyed everything around it.
This attack is called Disaster Strike, and it is one of Deliora's most powerful attacks. In the original timeline, both Lyon and Gray almost lost their lives because of this attack. Usually, such an attack would not be able to contend against Akira's sword attack, but with the added buff of entering the Etherious Form, Deliora's attack power had doubled.
As soon as the two attacks met, a violent explosion happened. The earth cracked, and the dark clouds were blasted away. The impact caused a massive earthquake that destroyed the nearby town buildings.
This went on for more than a few minutes before it finally stopped with Deliora's anguished cry of pain.
When the dust settled, we could see that Deliora was standing on the opposite side, all bloody. In addition, the left part of his body is missing.
"Haaaa Haaaa hahah, take that, you sucker," Akira, breathing heavily, said with a grin. Although he won the confrontation, he didn't get out scot-free. His mana and physical strength are at their lowest; in addition to that, his left is bleeding.
The reason for this injury is that during that confrontation, Akira used his Magic Eye of Destruction to weaken Deliora's attack. Otherwise, both attacks would have nullified each other, and he would be on the losing side.
But even though he managed to seriously injure Deliora, things are still not going well for him. Due to his low magic power, he is barely able to keep his takeover magic.
"Haaa, I guess I have no choice. " Akira said as he switched to Rimuru form and used Gluttony to devour the surrounding magic power to refill some of his reserves.
'Damn, after this is over, I'm going to train on using two forms at once, ' Akira thought as his body began to glow and ancient and majestic pressure began to come out of his body. The mask on his face cracked, and his eyes glowed with golden light and suddenly changed to slitted pupils.
Dragon-scale-like patterns began to appear on Akira's body. And with it all, his injuries began to heal rapidly. In addition, two wings suddenly came out of Akira's body.
With his transformation finished, Akira roared as he released his dragonic aura fully. Previously, he had always kept his aura in check, even when wearing the mask, but now that his life is in danger, he didn't care about such details.
"Rooooar."
Another roar sounded as Deliora, sensing the new danger, rushed forward in an instant. Despite not having 30% of his body, Deliora didn't scream for his injuries. This is because demons, and especially those created by Zeref, have high pain resistance. Unless they are attacked with magic attacks that have the holy attribute, they could tank many attacks without flinching.
This is also why they would not hesitate to self-destruct every time when something went wrong. Since they feel no pain, they have no trauma due to this unhealthy habit.
And Deliora, unlike others, seems to have unlocked a regeneration ability after he transformed. So with the addition of his cheat-like defense, he is simply a walking tank.
So the longer the battle is dragged on, the lower Akira's chances of victory become. So Akira decided to risk all of it in this next strike.
He poured every single bit of magic power into his blade and added many buffs as well, making the knife almost shatter. But soon the knife began to get wrapped in a black metallic hue as Akira's haki kept the crumbling blade together temporarily.
"Take this, Demon Slaying secret arts Devouring truth " Akira shouted as a phantom of a dark dragon appeared behind. Then without any delay Akira rushed forward, and the phantom followed behind while roaring to the heavens.
The earth cracked, rocks were blown away , the snow was melted, and destruction was everywhere.
Such a scene would frighten any being, and Deliora was no better. The arrogance that it had earlier was long gone because it smelled that familiar feeling from this attack. It was the smell of death that he felt when he was trapped in the demon-sealing formation.
Well this is normal because for this sword strike Akira didn't keep any of his cards. Whether it was demonic power from Anos's form, the devouring power of Rimuru form, the dragon power of his blood, or lastly a part of his life force.
Yes, this sword attack is fused with Akira's life force. After all, this sword strike is the combination of all of Akira's powers, and each power is more dangerous than the last. So without a tight intermediary, these powers would have gone berserk and made a big boom.
So what better intermediary is there than one's own life force? Thankfully Akira had enough injuries so the loss of his life force was not visible at first. Otherwise he would have to do the famous spitting of a mouthful of blood.
BOOOOOOOOOOM
Roooaaaaarrrr
A huge explosion happened as the ground within the radius of 500 meters was destroyed. It was like the apocalyptics had come early to take away some interest.
After the explosion and dust dissipated, there was silence for a few minutes before a cough sounded and some noises broke the silent atmosphere.
"Cough cough, did that bastard really die?" Akira said as he used a nearby object that somehow survived this ordeal to stand up.
Akira's clothes were torn and he looked like a beggar, and due to the exhaustion, he was forcefully exited from the Rimuru form. Due to all the action, his whole body is filled with scars., both his body and hair had become the same color. One of his eyes was closed due to his face being all bloody.
"Cough cough, seems like that bastard is finally killed," Akira said with a tired look. He was really at his limit here. His consciousness is barely hanging on, and his whole body is filled with pain.
But just when Akira was about to take a step and go back to the town, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He looked in shock and disbelief as his body was pierced by a claw. The hand was holding his heart, and before Akira could even turn around, the hand holding his heart tightened and destroyed his heart in an instant.
