While Arion was showering blow after blow, Alex, bearing the brunt of the attack, was sucked into a mysterious state.
Alex, who was before Arion just now, suddenly opened his eyes to find himself drifting away into the unending void while flowing through the space filled with nothing but darkness.
He couldn't even see his own body even if he tried or he was able to use mana.
He was utterly confused for a moment. He was in a similar situation to the one before meeting the Goddess for the first time but unlike the previous one, he had a mysterious feeling this time.
A feeling of Enlightenment was coming and going away. As Alex tried to keep his utmost attention, he finally started to scratch the surface of a tangible mystery after an unknown period.
Law Of Darkness.
Alex found that he was contemplating and understanding the very essence of Darkness in this miraculous state.
The God and Goddess had taught him about the laws of the world.
The reason why he won't need to use spell chants is that he has mastered worldly laws.
The Law of fire, the law of water, the law of space and many laws were intertwined and made the world move forward.
Beings that are created by God carry a part of the law. When a magician chants a spell, he calls forth the power of the law that had been engraved in his soul previously.
Alex almost mastered every law except the Law of Darkness.
The Law of Darkness can only be taught by The Devil but even his understanding of the Law of Darkness is not complete as a greater part of the power of darkness was snatched away by the God Of Darkness.
That was also the primary reason why The Devil was born as a weaker God out of all and had to train himself.
He was the only self-made God among everyone and for living beings to break the barrier and transcend to Godhood, along with the power of faith, they need an understanding of at least one Law.
Alex could only use the Power Of Darkness when he used the Eye of the Devil to control darkness but due to an unknown anomaly, he was able to understand and comprehend a part of the Law of Darkness, when he was hit by Arion.
It wasn't like this before but after he summoned a projection of the God Of Darkness.
Alex wasn't able to master everything, but the benefit he had achieved was more than enough.
The space around Alex shattered and broke like glass. Alex opened his eyes to find himself laying on the ground surrounded by a veil of Darkness.
Alex could feel the frightening punching Power that was pummeling him deep into the ground.
Alex waves his hand, and the veil of darkness like a thick mist liquid starts to move and covers him protecting him from the blow.
" I have comprehended a bit of law. I can control the darkness and since the God of Darkness just lent some power to Arion through the projection that means my presence is absolute."
"Doesn't that mean I can pull away the power of the faith towards him after all these fools are praying to the darkness, not any particular entity?" Alex let out a chuckle and stood up.
His body was restricting him from achieving greater power but using the power of faith, he may be able to showcase a miracle.
With a snap of his fingers, small dark particles started to swirl around him.
The darkish mass of a substance as if became alive started to wriggle around him and started to change its shape.
Alex's figure started to change and became one with darkness.
[Embodiment Of Darkness]
Dark fumes emerged from Alex's back and took the shape of large dark wings on his back.
A thick sturdy dark armour vest appeared on his chest and soon gauntlets, shoulder pads and boots appeared and soon Alex was covered with the whole Armour Of Darkness.
Two pairs of red eyes glowed through the hole of the helmet and a long purple flame burned on top of it.
Feeling an incredible surge of power Alex stared at his body parts.
It felt ethereal and transcendental which was giving him a heavenly feeling.
He felt as if he had become the Lord of this world and everything obeys his will.
His words were laws and his will is irresistible.
Although the power was quite large, Alex knew it was temporary and staying in this state might harm him as his soul was under an immense burden currently.
He raised his chin two see a hundred thousand fist marks like meteorites appearing over him.
With a thought, he waves his hand controlling the law of space and darkness creating a huge vortex of distortion of space that sucked in all the attacks that appeared before him.
Arion's both fists carried in a great shock and a protective black crystal curtain appeared around him.
In the next second his vision was shaken by the aura that Alex released that blasted him off for a few miles.
Countless cracks appeared on the protective black crystal curtain but thanks to the power of faith and vitality he hoarded, the cracks were repaired constantly.
After a while, the shaking of the world stopped and Arion put away the protective measure that was on verge of collapse. He gritted his teeth in anger and stared at Alex who looked safe and sound.
The guy's strength and means were unpredictable. At one point, you might find him on the verge of dying and at the next, he would rise much stronger than before.
"Bastard, just what more means do you have? Give me everything you have got. I will destroy everything you throw at me." Arion shouted.
"We will see," Alex muttered with a smile underneath his helmet.
He believed in the God Of Darkness. With his God standing behind him, there was no way he would lose.
The being before him was a fake and a cheap copy who dared to duplicate his God's strength. Such a thing was utterly disrespectful to his faith and his God.
So, on the behalf of his God, he had to eliminate this guy.
