Void Evolution System-Novel



Damien, Huo Xuan, Pandora, and the two Nox Worshippers she was fighting were all dragged into the sinkhole.

"Shit!" Damien exclaimed. "Su Ren, handle it up here! I'll be right back!" He shouted as he fell.

"Do not worry!" Su Ren shouted back.

Damien nodded without a word and looked down into the abyss below, where the other three were falling.

Pandora and the Nox Worshippers were still engaged in combat as they fell, and while there was panic in her eyes, she didn't look like she would lose.

The problem was elsewhere.

The expression on Huo Xuan's face wasn't right. It was like he had no intention of flying back up and was certain he'd survive the fall.

If that was the case, he needed to be killed before he reached the ground!

'And I need to save Pandora too, so let's make this quick.'

Damien angled his body as straight as possible and shot down with all his power, catching up to Huo Xuan in seconds.

Before the man could sense his presence, he wrapped his arm around the Nox Worshipper's head and slammed it into the nearby wall, dragging it against the rocky surface.

BANG!

He pushed into the wall with such force that he tore the jagged edges off with Huo Xuan's head.

"DAMN…HUMAN…!"

Huo Xuan roared as his hair was torn off and the skin on the back of his head was reddened.

While the severe pain made its way through his nerves, he reached both of his arms out and grabbed Damien's head, using his weight to reverse their position and slam Damien's head into the wall.

"That's…my…fucking…move!" Damien shouted as he was put in the same situation as Huo Xuan, the wall carving up his face.New chapters are published on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

'Fuck!' He exclaimed again inwardly. This wasn't enough to pierce his defenses, it still hurt a lot!

The duo was traveling hundreds of kilometers every minute as they plummeted through the abyssal sinkhole, and they'd both felt the immense pain of having their skin ripped apart by the wall as they moved at such a pace.

To put it simply, Damien wasn't willing to suffer this humiliation any longer!

'Dammit, I'm ending this!'

Damien reached back and grabbed Huo Xuan's arm, gripping down on it.

"Don't think you can escape!" Huo Xuan exclaimed. Spikes of Nox Mana rose from his skin and pierced Damien's arm, but this only made him grin.

'Nice grip!'

In that moment, Damien slammed his foot into the wall and sent a pulse of mana into the rock. The pulse erupted as his torso passed by the spot and exploded the rock wall into a rain of debris, pushing Damien and Huo Xuan away from it.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Damien disregarded human body mechanics and popped his shoulders out of their sockets to grab Huo Xuan's neck with both hands, ripping his right arm off the spikes in the process.

He tightened his grip before Huo Xuan could react and twisted his body to face the enemy.

CRACK!

His neck snapped, as his head was still in Huo Xuan's grip, but Damien was unfazed.

HONG! HONG! HONG!

Damien sent constant pulses of Death Mana into Huo Xuan's neck, forcing him to experience extreme pain and loosen his grip.

The opportunity didn't go to waste.

Snap!

Damien's head snapped back to its rightful place, a grin lighting up his face.

"Didn't think I could do that, did you?" He said tauntingly.

He pushed his knee down into Huo Xuan's chest, using his weight to maneuver them away from the sinkhole's walls and towards its center.

"Human, you can regenerate for now, but let's see how long it lasts!"

Huo Xuan flapped his arms around until he found something to grab, Damien's sides. He clenched down with his claws and started tearing Damien's body apart, but Transcendent Regeneration worked equally fast.

"Khhhhhhh…!!!"

Damien let out broken breaths as he coped with the pain, but he didn't let go of Huo Xuan. He sent pulse after pulse of mana into the traitor's body, using Death Mana's properties to force him to experience pain even though his defenses couldn't be penetrated.

And perhaps Huo Xuan was powerful, but he wasn't unfeeling!

"ROOOAAAAAA— kkkgghh…"

"Fuck you!"

Huo Xuan opened his mouth and roared in pain, but before he could finish, Damien shoved his arm down the Nox Worshipper's throat!

CRUNCH!

Huo Xuan bit down without hesitation and tore Damien's arm apart, separating his forearm from his elbow entirely.

Spurt!

Damien's stub spurted a fountain of blood, but he did nothing but wince.

Instead, he jumped off Huo Xuan and made significant distance.

Huo Xuan grinned with bloodied teeth, taunting Damien for retreating in fear.

And Damien…

Damien grinned back.

"Bye-bye, traitor scum."

Huo Xuan's eyes widened.

As Damien's arm was reshaped by Transcendent Regeneration…

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The arm he left in Huo Xuan's body exploded violently in a mixture of countless powerful Law auras.

In the end, despite their transformed appearances, they were still humans on the inside!

Huo Xuan's head burst into tiny bits of brain matter and skull shards that flew into the sinkhole walls and fell into the abyss.

With his brain exploding, even someone with Huo Xuan's regenerative power and defense couldn't survive.

'…but could I?' Damien wondered to himself as he silently celebrated the victory.

The combined regenerative power of Transcendent Regeneration, his new Samsara Blood, and the [Heal] trait was astonishing, but Damien definitely wasn't willing to test its upper limits!

Damien shot down and collected what was left of Huo Xuan's body before scanning the area to find Pandora.

'Hm? What's she doing?'

She was several thousand meters below where he was, but despite already finishing her battle, she wasn't flying back up.

'Is she injured?'

Damien flew down into the abyss rapidly and caught up to her falling body. Without hesitation, he grabbed her and flew—

'Eh?'

He tried to fly up.

Flash!

'What the hell?'

He tried to teleport, but he couldn't go up.

Instead, he found himself displaced several hundred meters to the left.

He immediately understood the situation.

'It's a restriction.'

His expression became dignified.

It wasn't a restriction on flight like the ones he'd seen before. This restriction quite literally disallowed one from going "up" past a certain point, regardless of means.

There were two things this meant.

The first was that Damien was in for an extremely painful fall.

And the second…

'There is something powerful enough to restrict even my Dimensional Magic.'

It seemed that, as he guessed when he first entered Holy Light Star, the greatest mysteries were left in the subterranean world.

He held Pandora tightly and shifted his body so she was on top of him and his back faced the abyss below.

'This is going to suck. Prismatic Sun Holy Land definitely has to compensate me for the trouble.' He thought wryly.

And with nothing to do but fall until he felt pain, Damien began to wonder…

How were those on the surface doing?

***

Shiiiiing!

A beautiful display of blade light illuminated the world, and the body of a terrible beast was split in four.

Su Ren swept the blood off his swords and made sure the ink puddle was thoroughly extinguished before turning back to the four women from Prismatic Sun Holy Land.

While he couldn't see their appearances through their veils and clothes, he could see slight peeks of the skin around their eyes and on their extremities.

And though they stood relatively straight, Su Ren frowned when he saw them.

'They look…awfully pale…'
