Armipotent

The brilliance of Holy Energy covered the Executioner Knight as he moved toward Tang Shaoyang. Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang pulled the Titan Blade from the ground. He looked relaxed despite the incoming enemy. He raised the Titan Blade and posed a stance; his intention was clear, fight the Executioner Knight head-on.

As the Primordial Rank knight was in his range, Tang Shaoyang swung his sword. The knight's tip of the sword clashed with the blade. As soon as the sword touched the Titan Blade, the Holy Energy moved toward the sword, trying to attack Tang Shaoyang.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

However, suddenly the space around the Titan Blade opened. Just like a black hole, the crack pulled the Holy Energy. It happened too fast that the Primordial Rank knight failed to react until his attack was fully negated. The knight pulled his sword and backed away.

That was Zara's power, the power she got after she evolved to the Grade SSS Spirit. It was no longer Death Energy but a scary power with a lot of unknown potentials. Even Tang Shaoyang was flabbergasted by what he could do with Zara's power.

"What is this? Since when can you do this?" He did not know that Zara's power could absorb the attack. The Holy Energy was strong, he could feel that, but the Holy Energy was getting absorbed so easily.

[I call this power of mine Void. It does not absorb the Holy Energy but sends it to the void. I can't really do any experiment in the Spirit World, so I also don't know much, but it can't absorb energy.]

Tang Shaoyang's lips twitched a little. Even though he did not really understand it, he felt like Zara's power was stronger than his. He was no longer confident of winning against the Angel of Death if he had to fight her with such power. He did not know if Slayer Energy would work against the Void either.

"What was that?" The Primordial Rank knight was confused with the situation. The Holy Energy was getting sucked away from him, neutralizing his attack completely. It was just a purely physical force because the Holy Energy was gone before it could reach Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang, of course, did not give the knight time to think. He moved toward the knight, and each of his steps created cracks in the air. It was as if the space was split wherever he went.

The Primordial Rank Executioner Knight was still unsure how to fight the enemy's weird power, but he did not back away from the confrontation. He decided to fight Tang Shaoyang to find out what kind of power he had just experienced and made a countermeasure against it.

Tang Shaoyang had the same idea as the knight. Instead of trying to end the battle quickly, he wanted to poke and fight, trying to find the limit of this Void. He needed to know the power to utilize it perfectly. The fact that there were cracks around him; showed that he still could not control the power. He just swung down the Titan Blade toward the knight's shield, the shield that was covered in Holy Energy.

This time it was a whole different phenomenon. The crack did not suck the energy, but the sword itself absorbed the Holy Energy in the shield.

Ding!

It ended up as a pure physical clash. The knight was pushed back from the impact as a crack and a slit formed on the shield. In the end, it was a battle of equipment quality, and the Titan Blade was better than the shield to inflict such damage to the black shield.

'It seems I got the hang of this Void.' Two clashed, and he felt that he could use the Void effectively. The crack did not suck the Holy Energy but the sword. That was a big improvement, and slowly, the cracks no longer appeared in the air. 'I can control it a little bit, but I want to use this offensively.' All he did with the Void nullified the Holy Energy, so he wanted to try to use the Void as an attack instead of neutralizing the enemy's power.

"Let's try it out." Tang Shaoyang raised the sword with his right and swung it down toward the knight.

Whoosh!

It was just a simple swing in the air. However, such a simple swing alerted the knight. The Primordial Rank knight held his shield tightly while predicting what would come for him. A few seconds after, the swing passed, yet nothing happened.

"Huh? Did I do it wrong?" Just as Tang Shaoyang was about to give a second try, a crack appeared in the air. The crack was at the same length as the Titan Sword at first, but then the crack spread out. The crack moved forward, moving toward the Primordial Rank knight.

The knight tried to use his shield, but as soon as the shield touched the crack, the knight immediately moved to the side. A few seconds later, the crack disappeared. The knight looked at his shield, and the part that touched the crack disappeared. He blanked for a moment as the situation was absurd. He had never even heard of such a power, let alone experienced it by himself. With no knowledge of his opponent's power, it would be much harder for him to execute his duty.

In fact, he was scared of Tang Shaoyang's power. It was as if he would be devoured into the crack and disappear. With death looming over him, it awakened the feeling he had forgotten a long ago, fear. The fear of losing his life. The feeling resurfaced once more as he tried to capture the man that was supposed to be much weaker than him.

"You should focus when you are in a battle." The knight heard the familiar voice above him. He looked up and saw Tang Shaoyang with the sword. His subconscious action was to raise his shield to block the sword, but he quickly realized that he had messed up. He was not supposed to meet the sword head-on.
