Chapter 286 Life and Death Battle (2)

Not even a moment later, a grey flame appeared all around him as it exploded around Samiel Zentuar, burning down everything in its path; all pirates that were watching and observing the battle were turned to ash.

This was the 6th Level Spell of the Void Magic called Void Flame, a special type of flame that didn't burn anything inorganic, but on the contrary, it was especially dangerous and devastating to the organic manner.

Due to his genius, he could easily cast Spells that were above his Tier, though, at the same time, he wouldn't be able to do such a feat in his normal state without paying an appropriate price. While he indeed had enough Mana for that, the mental strain and pressure on his soul were too much.

But when he was using the Possession of the Outer Gods, the situation was vastly different, especially when he was using the Void Magic Spells.

Instantly, the flames of the Void Flame got even stronger because as they were annihilating the pirates and every living being on the ship, they also assimilated their souls, getting stronger in the process.

"Void Flame Control: Phoenix Descent!"

As Samiel cast another spell, this time it was a 7th Level Spell as he felt his Magic being tremendously drained away, but; it was okay as his reserves were huge and potent, but the strain on his Soul and Mind were entirely different manner.

High above the air, all of the Void Flames started congregating together, creating a shape of a flaming phoenix which flapped its wings and then shot towards Pirate King Ruthland, descending like some kind of divine judgment and exploding in one huge infernal bomb.

'Finally some effect...'

Samiel saw that this time, the Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland was finally injured to a great degree because he had severe burns around his entire body and was bleeding profusely from the various parts of his body.

Not only that, but his very own soul was being corrupted by the powers of the Void, but he was still able to resist the inevitable.

Unfortunately, it was not enough to kill him or to even decrease his mobility to a degree where he won't be a threat. Yet, it was only a matter of time,

Before the Holy Son of Hall of Kadath could make the next move, suddenly,y a weird energy field appeared around the entire ship when Samiel noticed a small magitek device from his Dimensional Storage.

The bad thing was he felt that his powers were being drained at a tremendous pace and that his Possession by the Outer Gods was getting weaker and weaker by every single second, as he found that Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland had disappeared from his location and appeared in front of Samiel, slashing at him with his rapier.

At the last moment, he managed to conjure an ice shield through the Winter Ruler, but unfortunately, it cracked pretty soon and Ruthalnd's rapier pierced deep into his right shoulder as blood splattered all around.

The Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland smirked at him as he hit the rapier with his goldish-silverish Mana, severing Samiel's right arm entirely from his shoulder, as Samiel screamed out from the intense pain.

Though while he experienced tremendous pain, he used the negative emotion in the last movement to power up Void Blast Spell, as he shot the Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland far away from him, crashing through the ship.

"Fucking... Magisterium..."

He felt like he was going to pass out because of the blood loss and also the weird Magitek device that was completely draining and restraining the Void around him, making Samiel weaker with each passing moment.

The sudden loss of the Possession of the Outer Gods took a very severe toll on Samiel's body, was not something that Samiel could withstand. This was another severe weakness of the Possession; after the end of its time, he would always feel extremely weak, the toll on his stamina was too high.

There was only a single faction in the entire Material Plane who would dare to create a device like this and use it against the Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath.

Not even a moment later, he saw that the Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland rushed at him once more, using whatever power the Pirate King had, as he hacked his rapier at Samiel, piercing through his stomach.

Still, at the same time, Samiel used his left hand as he grabbed Ruthland's rapier and used the Winter Ruler to the extreme, freezing the weapon and even parts of Ruthlands body at one moment.

"It seems that even your ice is futile... abomination... the end is here."

Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland said with a smirk as he looked at his opponent, who was in a terrible state, mainly because the weapon he was using was specifically designed against those of Void origin by Magisterium.

"This is just beginning... my dear pawn."

Samiel said with a grin as he used his last force; sensing the weird energy inside his body that was destroying his inner organs, he made a resolute decision to destroy his enemy at any cost.

In a split of a moment, he sacrificed all the souls he gathered, tens of thousands of souls, into one concentrated energy blast of Void Energy that was as corrosive and dangerous to others as it was to him and after that...

Everything went white...

Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland was obliterated on the spot with not even his soul remaining; the explosion of the Void Energy was so powerful that it shattered the shield around them like nothing and enveloped the majority of the pirate fleet.

Be it on sea or in the air.

Nothing remained; nothing was spared as everything was wiped out from existence, with only a few pirate ships that were far from them reaming, lucky to survive.

While Samiel's body was shot towards the ocean as he was falling down to the depths of the ocean, hearing the calling of the deep...
