black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mismatched eyes had merged into a single swirling vortex of gold and void, staring down at me like twin singularities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden blood no longer

survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to move, trying to close the distance, to use the Heaven Swallowing Sword’s nullification before the domain could fully lock in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My legs

extended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwooom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lance of pure Eclipse, half holy spear, half devouring maw, formed in her grip and fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just instant death

stone where I’d been, then curved mid-flight because the domain bent trajectories at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It clipped my left shoulder, and the Heaven Swallowing Sword screamed in protest as the Eclipse energy tried to nullify me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword drank desperately, pulling the foreign authority into its hungry core, but the reversed chaos flow in my veins turned the effort into torture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splurt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veins burst inside my chest as more blood sprayed across my chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I forced myself upright anyway and met her next attack with both blades crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already there... without making a single sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment, she was ten meters away, the next inside my guard, elbow driving into my sternum with the force of a collapsing star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUUUUUUMP—————————!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ribs cracked audibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact lifted me off the ground and hurled me across the transformed arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ARGHHHHHHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slammed into one of the new spires, the crystalline structure wrapping shadowy tendrils around my arms and legs like living restraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Midnight Sword sliced them free in a single blurred arc, but the Heaven Swallowing Sword was sluggish now, its nullification fighting the domain’s constant pressure instead of Seraphiel herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She followed before I could plant my feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWOOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barrage of Eclipse orbs, each one a miniature big bang of opposing forces, detonated around me in a perfect sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I spun through them on instinct, in a basic pattern, cut, nullify, redirect, and counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should have worked... and it would have worked against any other opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the domain was inside the equations now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every slash I made fed energy back into Seraphiel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every nullification I attempted only made the Eclipse burn brighter, because my own reversed chaos flow turned my swords’ powers against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heaven Swallowing Sword’s hunger backlashed, sending spikes of agony through my core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Midnight Sword’s perfect edge dulled, as the domain declared that nothing could remain sharp in the presence of perfect balance between all and nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was able to land a hit anyway, mainly because of my pure stubbornness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low sweep of the Midnight Sword caught her ankle as she blurred past, severing the divine tendon there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden-not-golden blood sprayed, and for a second, her perfect descent faltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfftt... pwahahahahhaaa!\" She laughed loudly at my actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once she stopped, her face turned cold as her hand closed into a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwooooooom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire domaincontracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spires leaned inward, the floor heaved upward, and the air itself became a vise of light and dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt my divine core stutter harder than ever before, reversed chaos flow now amplified by the Eclipse, circulating so violently that black blood poured from my eyes, ears, and nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fucking hell..\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My swords grew surprisingly heavy... definitely not because of the weight, but from whatever pressure the domain was giving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphiel appeared in front of me again, too fast for thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thwamp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her palm slammed into my chest, fingers splayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light and void poured directly into my body, bypassing armor, skin, bone... straight into the fracturing core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to swing the Heaven Swallowing Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My arm moved in slow motion, as if underwater in molten lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grip...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She easily caught the blade bare-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword screamed, trying to devour her divinity, but the Eclipse simply fed it more power than it could swallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cracks spiderwebbed across the Heaven Swallowing Sword’s edge for the first time in its existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I drove my knee upward, but she dodged... and kneed even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kurghh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A splut of mouth escaped my lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gritted my teeth and tried to headbutt her, just for her to headbutt me back, her forehead reinforced by the domain until it felt like colliding with the birth of a galaxy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stars burst behind my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed my throat with one hand and lifted me effortlessly off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other hand plucked the Midnight Sword from my weakening grip as if I were a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword... the sharpest thing in existence, didn’t even nick her skin; the domain had already decided it wouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tossed it aside like scrap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heaven Swallowing Sword followed a second later, clattering uselessly across the warped stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"K-kurghh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black blood poured from my mouth in thick ropes, spattering her perfect face. She didn’t even blink at this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grip...!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She squeezed my throat tightly, causing my vision to tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reversed chaos flow inside me screamed in final protest, tearing my core apart from the inside while the domain held me suspended like a specimen on display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kwaarfguhhh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn’t summon a single technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn’t even curse her properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My combat experience, my swords, my will... everything that had carried me through four impossible victories.... meant nothing against the full power of her domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this going to be my end?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mind gradually became empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well... so many reincarnations and I wasn’t even able to complete my revenge.
