Chapter 31 - True Dragon vs True Giant (2)

YO... completely rewrote this chapter Tell me how is it compared to my previous writing I did some research too while rewriting this chapter

Still looking at Ashura. I nodded... "Alright, how long do I need to hold him?"

<<..."Hm... I don't know, maybe 1 hour or so?" >>

"ONE HOUR...!!!" 

"MIMIR ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

"Chill lad, nothing will happen with you."

My body blurred as I dodged a massive swipe from Ashura's right arm and a very weird type of aura was eminnination from his body and the ground where I was standing was smashed to to dust and it felt like the ground was erased not from from physical impact but from his aura.

"Mimir quick!!! What is that? It felt as if the land was deleted not smash."

"hm.. your observation is correct lad it's his ability of all Things destruction (Banbutsu Hakai)."

"Banbutsu Hakai?" I muttered back in contemplation.

"yes lad don't let it touch you even with your true dragon it would disintegrate your physical part that touched it even though it can be recreated it will be troublesome..."

"Mimir! If his aura erases everything, even my kinetic-reconstructed punch will be deleted before it lands! The moment my fist gets close, the molecules will just... stop existing!"

<< Calculation complete. You are overthinking, lad. Banbutsu Hakai requires a 'Target' to decompose. If you deliver the kinetic energy via Spiritrons, he cannot delete it. >>

"Spiritrons? But those are the building blocks of magic!"

<< Incorrect. Spiritrons are information particles that govern the laws of the world. They are unaffected by 'Magic Nullification' because they are the system. Using me, we will coat your 'Kinetic Gamma Strike' in a thin film of Spiritron-encoded Law Manipulation. >>

"In plain English, Mimir?"

<< We are going to overwrite his 'Destruction' with your 'Existence.' By using Israfil to manage the space, you will 'tunnel' your punch through a spatial rift. Your fist will only manifest the moment it is inside his physical hardening layer. You aren't punching his skin; you are manifesting a nuclear fusion reaction directly inside his ribcage. >>

Then ashura again hearled his massive fist towards me

"Mimir! He's closing in!" I muttered

<< Notice. Calm your magicules, lad. Activating Israfil: Spatial Management. >> 

"And then what? Just hope it blocks him?"

<< No. Do not 'block.' i will Use Israfil to catch the wavelength of his destruction. Like a judo master uses an opponent's weight, we will use his own 'Flow' against him. Wrap your body in a Distortion Field. When his aura makes contact, Israfil will redirect the Spiritrons into the sub-space dimension. >>

I took a breath, trusting Mimir. As Ashura's massive, glowing palm descended, I didn't dodge. I expanded my aura, but instead of a solid wall, the space around me began to shimmer and warp like a heat haze.

Sizzle—

The ground beneath me vanished into nothingness, erased by his touch. But where I stood, the air simply rippled. Ashura's hand seemed to pass through me, but I felt nothing. His destructive aura was being funneled into a spatial loop I had anchored just millimeters from my skin.

"Mimir what did you do with israfil that his hand seemed to pass through me?" I asked puzzled.

"Simple, lad. You didn't just 'block' him—you folded the coordinate system of the local area," Mimir's voice resonated in my mind, sounding almost smug for a Skill.

<< Explanation. By using Israfil (Lord of Trials), you manifested a Spatial Distortion Field. Imagine a sheet of paper. Normally, Ashura's fist travels in a straight line from point A to point B. By warping the space between those points, you turned that straight line into a Möbius strip. >>

"A Möbius strip?" I grunted, pivoting as a second massive arm swept through the space where my chest had been a millisecond prior. The air screamed as the Banbutsu Hakai erased the oxygen molecules in its path.

<< Precisely. To the naked eye, it looks like his hand is passing through your chest. In reality, his fist is entering a Spatial Loop. It enters the distortion on your left, travels through a compressed sub-dimension, and exits on your right without ever touching your 'True Dragon' physical matter. You are effectively existing in a different spatial layer than his strike. >>

I felt the drain on my magicules—maintaining a hole in the 3D world wasn't cheap, even for a True Dragon. "But wait, if I'm in a different layer, how am I still seeing him? And how am I standing on the ground?"

<< Report. Because I am managing the Seamless Coordination. I am keeping your feet anchored to the 'Real' world's gravity while shifting your torso and head into the 'Trial' space of Israfil. It is like wearing a suit of armor made of Infinite Distance. >>

Ashura roared, a sound that cracked the sky. He seemed to realize his physical swipes were hitting "nothing." His six eyes began to glow with a terrifying, ancient light. He stopped swinging and pulled all six arms back, his palms facing me.

"Mimir... he looks annoyed."

<< Warning. High-density vibration detected. Ashura is preparing Seismic Waves—a multi-directional resonance. He is going to vibrate the entire spatial fabric to 'shake' you out of your distortion. >>

"Can Israfil handle a literal earthquake in the dimensions?"

<< Calculation... Not indefinitely. You must use Light Speed Movement to keep the 'Anchor Point' of the distortion moving. If you stay still, he will find the 'Frequency' of your space and shatter it like glass. >>

"Great. Seems easy enough!" I muttered sarcastically.

i quickly used my light mode turning myself into light particles to dodge what ever this was.

"Smart move, lad! If the space itself is shaking, stop being 'matter'!" Mimir's voice cut through the localized thunder of Ashura's roar, sounding entirely too calm for my liking.

I didn't hesitate. I triggered Light Speed Movement, and the sensation was horrifying. This was my first time using the normally when I use light mode I coat my body in light magic to gain the light speed effect but i believe its not full speed of light since its impossible to achieve speed of light in physical world unless we 

BOOOOOOM!!!

Ashura slammed his six palms together with a force that should have ended the world. A massive Seismic Wave rippled outward, but it didn't just shatter the ground—it erased the very molecular bonds of the air. A visible wave of "Nothingness" rushed toward me. If I had stayed in my physical form, even with Israfil's distortion, that vibration would have "shaken" me back into a solid state right into his waiting hands.

Instead, the wave passed through me. I felt a slight tingle, like a cold gust of wind passing through a sunbeam.

"Mimir! I can't feel my arms... or my legs! This is... weird!" I shouted, though I wasn't sure if I even had a mouth anymore.

<< Report. You are currently a Digital Nature phenomenon. Your ego is being maintained via Spiritron-flow. Do not lose focus, or your information particles will scatter. >>

"How's the timer?!" I zipped around Ashura's head, a streak of blinding gold. He swiped at me like I was a persistent fly, his mountain-cleaving strikes whistling through empty space. He was trying to catch a beam of light with a net made of shadows.

<< Update. Analysis at 52%. Ashura is growing frustrated. He is beginning to manifest Magic Nullification in a spherical radius to 'snuff out' your light. >>

"He's trying to turn off my 'Light Mode'?" My heart—or the concept of it—hammered.

<< Precisely. To his eyes, you are a magical construct. If his aura touches your light-stream, the Magic Nullification will force you back into a physical state. You would be 'grounded' mid-air, right in front of his face. >>

I saw it then—a dark, oppressive void beginning to leak from Ashura's pores. It was an anti-magic field so dense it sucked the very glow out of the sky.

"Mimir, if I get grounded now, I'm a dragon-flavored pancake!"

<< Suggestion. Use Israfil to create 'Spatial Anchors' outside his nullification zone. We will 'bounce' your light particles off the folded space like a mirror. We'll play a game of Solar Reflection—he won't know which 'beam' is the real you. >>

I gritted my non-existent teeth. "Alright, let's turn this battlefield into a disco of death. Israfil: Mirror World!"

Suddenly, dozens of Spatial Fractures tore open in the air around the giant. I dove into the first one, my light reflecting off the warped dimensions and erupting out of another at a completely different angle. Ashura began spinning, his six arms flailing wildly at dozens of golden streaks. His Banbutsu Hakai erased the air, but he was hitting nothing but empty light.

"How much longer, Mimir?"

Done" mimir replied back...

"HUH? SO EARLY?"

"lad what do you think of me I was just messing with you before it took me mili seconds to complete that kinetic calculation."
