Chapter 672: Getting Overwhelmed
Chapter 672: Getting Overwhelmed
The moment Johan said those words, he kicked off the ground, arriving in front of Rael in the blink of an eye.
It was a very fast attack.
But the moment Rael used the Presence Nullification Technique, Johan’s movements slowed down considerably.
And finally, Rael’s foresight was even able to pick up on Johan’s movements.
It was like an eye opener.
A really, really crucial eye opener.
Still, no matter if Rael could see 5 seconds into the future or 10, Johan was still fast enough to counter his foresight.
So in the end, when Johan arrived before him, all Rael did was simply root his feet to the ground and reinforce his entire body with every Law he could imagine.
Then, as the attack came, Rael surprisingly withstood it, absorbed all of its power, and in the next instant, redirected Johan’s punch straight at him.
It was really powerful.
So much so that the whole arena cracked, and even the barrier that kept the spectators safe shattered slightly.
And yet, as that very same attack bounced off and hit Johan, he did not even budge an inch.
It was so insignificant that he threw another attack, and then another right afterward.
Both were the same strength as the attacks Rael had blocked.
But this time around, Rael once again found himself soaring through the arena and flying directly into a nearby wall.
His body was crushed, and for a moment, it felt like he was dying.
Though his regeneration once again kicked in, and he jumped back into the arena.
He was like an undying warrior.
But after some time, it had begun turning oddly gruesome.
The whole arena was painted red with Rael’s blood, and with his severed body parts everywhere, it looked like a horror movie.
The crowd found it hard to cheer, and even Johan offered Rael the chance to give up a few times.
But despite how everything looked, Rael was fine.
He was full of energy, and his regeneration was still working properly.
Though getting pummeled without being able to do anything was a little bit annoying.
However, when Rael felt like he was just better off giving up, a certain thought passed through his mind.
At the moment, because of how well he could control the Law of Time, he could have an infinite amount of mana.
And since he had the Law of Infinity, could he not technically attack with every single Law he had at once?
He fixed his body up and once again met Johan’s gaze.
Johan attacked, and for once, instead of taking it head on, Rael used his own technique against him and just barely avoided the attack.
As Johan’s punch flew over Rael’s shoulder, Rael suddenly extended his palm.
His palm warped space around it, and then hit Johan square in the chest.
He did not dodge like always.
But for once, despite not really meaning this attack to be powerful, it managed to push Johan a few steps back.
Silence descended for a moment.
Just then, a warm smile appeared on Johan’s face.
"It seems like you’ve finally warmed up."
Rael frowned and raised a single finger into the air.
Then, he began channeling all the Laws he could.
At first, he found it hard to channel more than ten at once, because he had to then find a Law to counter the effects.
But he quickly realized that there were an equal number of negative Laws as there were positive Laws.
So as long as he input every Law he had, he would end up with perfect synergy.
Therefore, Rael did just that.
Infusing the first hundred Laws was painful, and his bones cracked multiple times.
The next few hundred were also painful, but once he reached the 500 mark, all the pain suddenly vanished.
It felt as if he was ascending in a way.
Or maybe that was just his chuuni phase speaking.
Either way, he did not stop channeling the Laws, and at some point, Rael realized he was no longer in the arena.
He was now in a pitch-black space with only Johan in front of him.
And not only that, there was a powerful conglomeration of lights at the tip of his finger.
But eventually, those lights settled into a single silver-gray marble that was the size of a small tooth.
It was puny.
Yet the amount of mana inside this thing was nothing short of insane.
Even Johan’s eyes widened.
"Are you planning to throw that thing at me?"
"Who else would I throw it at?" Rael rolled his eyes. "Though I can refrain if you just forfeit."
Johan shook his head. "No can do. I’m not particularly afraid of this attack. I’m just slightly surprised your soul is able to withstand this many Laws at once."
"Well, I have heard I’m a little special," Rael said absentmindedly, and pointed the power of over 1,000 Laws directly at Johan.
Johan stared at the tip of his finger until eventually, he sighed and entered a defensive stance.
For once, he seemed to be taking this seriously.
But then again, Rael was not sure what to expect from serious.
After all, he had been brutally beaten when Johan had not even used a fraction of his powers or Laws.
Nonetheless, it seemed like Rael was about to find out.
Rael took a few deep breaths, and after focusing on the Laws at the tip of his fingertip, he gently nudged them with his mana.
But the nudge was far from gentle, as the silver marble vanished from sight and then reappeared only inches away from Johan’s face.
Johan’s eyes widened once again, and then white flames gathered all around him before ultimately enveloping the silver marble.
And yet, the marble did not stop.
It continued moving very slowly toward Johan, almost as if no matter what he did, he could not stop that attack.
It would be strange if he could stop it.
After all, with the amount of buffs Rael had, his efforts would feel like they were in vain.
The marble tore through the white flames, and right as it was about to tear Johan’s eye out, he calmly extended his palm.
And then, a completely black vortex emerged, swallowing the surroundings and finally clashing against Rael’s Laws.
