Chapter 500 Ragna's Lossless Defeat, A Clash Like No Other (8), Havoc
*Boom!*
*Crackle….!*
Rin relentlessly attacked Ragna without holding back in the slighting, and with Erix also blocking Ragna's escape, the situation quickly became tense for the boastful reincarnation.
Each second passing caused Ragna's heart to pound faster as a threat to his life crept in. His brain constantly sought to escape this predicament while fighting Rin.
'There's no other choice.'
Nira and Erix who floated high and observed the battle could feel the situating turning bad for Ragna and it was only a matter of before the climax arrived.
"His injuries are accumulating, but none of them are serious since he is fully on the defensive. However, he can't hurt Rin with his current state," Nira said. She clenched her fist and couldn't help but feel fiery in her heart seeing Rin suppressing and overwhelming Ragna.
"But he won't give up like this," she added with a severe expression. "I don't think he doesn't have a card or two up his sleeve to escape, given that he is a reincarnator."
Erix nodded as he also believed that to be the case and remained alert, "He will do something to break out of this predicament."
However, a cold glint passed through his eyes as his Vorterend Voidferrum Quill faintly shone, ready to unleash its power at a moment's notice.
Erix didn't believe Ragna could block his peak offense attack now that he had accessed Battle Matrix.
With a flick of his Quill, all of his elements would drive into his imaginary realm and he could create a powerful skill in his Mind Zone.
His Metal Elemental wielded the power of his Devouring Ingot concept gear, it was literally capable of creating the most suitable and synergizable metal to contain his other elements.
Infusing in such a medium would be the powers weaved by Aethir's attributes into a desirable action, which he selected to be a simple Spear.
'That bastard likes to use spear-shaped projectiles, so he'll get one from me if he escapes.'
Focused aspects from Nihilir element (Death x Fire x Space)—Dismantle and Vepora—both pure offensive and shaped to be a containing doom for the target.
Focused aspects from Noiranx element (Ice x Void x Gloomblaze)—Nill Pool and Mukry Stamp, Devouring Shade, all three pure offensive and shaped to be instant doom for the target.
These aspects were supported by Aethir's attributes and three soul vices geared to purely boost the offensiveness and negating defenses as Aleron finished his yet strongest skill again.
The penalty for failing this skill was high with how he set up the Soul Vices, but that only meant that he was confident in one-shotting anyone with this.
'Doom Spear of Silent Chaos.'
Meanwhile, twenty seconds into the combat between Rin and Ragna, the situation was getting dire for Ragna.
Korin focused back on the battle from internal meditation as he felt infinitely closer to achieving Battle Matrix.
Meanwhile, Lilith finished her breakthrough as well, successfully accessing the Battle Matrix.
On the other hand, the moment Korin saw the clashes between Rin and Ragna, his mind was struck by lightning as he found the missing piece.
But a second after that, all of them felt a sudden danger bell ringing in their head.
And heard a raging thought echoing in their heads.
'The results will be different the next time we meet! Remember my name, it's Ragna! Ragna of the Frezy Lighting Edge!'
All of them were attacked by a powerful soul attack, enough to rattle their consciousness for a full second.
Ragna also used Throne Hall's feature as a ghastly white moon with black patterns appeared in the sky and created a zone covering 10 kilometers while sending Ragna outside.
Erix, Rin, Lilith, Nira, and Korin felt their consciousness getting pulled into a strange world as they were subjected to the illusion.
Not just them, but every living thing within this 10-kilometer diameter area was forcefully thrown into an illusion.
Of course, after just five seconds, Erix, Rin, and Nira swiftly broke out of the Illusion by using their powerful soul energy weaved into an illusion-breaking skill by using Aethir's attributes.
Korin also broke out two seconds after that.
"He is gone," Erix said before he smiled. "Well, it won't change the fact that he is a dead man."
"That was a powerful feature," Nira wryly smiled. "Sending us into an illusion for five seconds is crazy, but I guess it's not without the downside. Ragna was perfectly capable of killing me or Korin while we were in illusion and still could escape, but he didn't do it."
"This means that after using this feature, they aren't able to attack the targets right away," Korin nodded. "Since this is a domain-type illusion, I believe it also affects them, which is why he didn't attack us."
"Meh, whatever," Rin flew towards them and grabbed Erix's hands before standing to his left.
"We have something more important to do," Rin grinned.
"Exactly," Lilith chuckled and grabbed Erix's other hand, "It's time to conquer this playground together, darling."
Erix smiled and looked at the horizon, his eyes glinting ferociously, "We shall do just that."
"Break Time will start in ten minutes, so let's finish that first," Nira chuckled.
"…"

After a few minutes, Isabella, Lily, Sameira, and Kenshin emerged from the Wish Reward's dimension. Since there was a danger outside, they chose a longer time ratio than usual, spending 100 days inside for 5 minutes outside.
Alas, the battle only took a bit over 2 minutes to finish.
Break Time soon arrived and all participants disappeared from the playground and arrived in a different world.
"Find this fucking Erix!"
"We have his clear picture now thanks to that bastard, hahaha."
"During this break time, I want this guy to be found in this world! Also, spread the news that Jade Emperor Xubai wants to talk to him at Sorcoerer's Tree Hotel!"
The quest to find Erix began in the Break World.
Unaware of all that, Erix and the gang just found a good natural spot in the forest and began meditating.
Isabella, Lily, Kenshin, and Sameira focused on achieving Supreme Concept while Erix, Rin, and Lilith sparred against each other to improve their combat and proficiency in Battle Matrix.
At the moment, this trio was a big notch higher than others in terms of combat power.
"We got the championship in the bag," Korin said with a smile hanging on his face as he watched Erix, Rin, and Lilith sparring against each other.
"But we can't fall behind too much," Nira grinned. "I am finally getting more powerful after getting the Animus concept. I won't stop at this. It's time to make the best Super Exotic Element with Animus that can complement my soul specialty."
"Mhmm," Korin clenched his fists, "I'll access Battle Matrix before the Break Time is over."
…
After the Break Time was over, Erix, Lilith, and Rin moved in a group unrestrainedly, hunting for only Trials and Events to grab features and other rewards while killing others.
Isabella, Lily, Sameira, and Kenshin did challenges with Nira and Korin to get wish rewards and improve further.
Their Throne Hall collected more Features thanks to Erix, Rin, and Lilith during this 4th day.
But due to the havoc they wreaked and all of their names appearing on the individual leaderboard, it wasn't long before the big shots became aware of their movement and location.
