Chapter 623: 623

I desperately try to fly away from the origin matter. But, I’m slowly pulled back by its [Black Hole].

I gulp. To be honest, I knew this part would be problematic. Up until now, I’ve been acting to counter each of the origin matter’s actions. But… I have no answers prepared for [Black Hole] and [Big Bang]. The extent to which I’m able to deal with [Black Hole] depends entirely on the circumstances, so it was impossible for me to plan a straightforward countermeasure.

To make matters worse, I have no way of dodging [Big Bang], so it’s inevitable that I’ll take a lot of damage. There’s no telling what state I’ll be in afterwards. All I’ll be able to do is try to heal quickly and get back into the fight.

But, there’s one thing I know for certain. No matter what the situation, [Black Hole] will put me at a disadvantage. It’s all I can do to try and resist and reduce the damage I’ll take by as much as possible.

[Black Hole] is a powerful skill. But, while it’s in use, the origin matter can’t use other skills. The moment it ends, it’ll attack with other skills. If this goes like last time, it’ll immediately use [Big Bang].

The pull on my body ends. The [Black Hole] has ended. Which means it’s about to attack.

I fly in the opposite direction as fast as I can.

I hear the sound of [Dark Ray] tearing through the air behind me. It hasn’t yet used [Big Bang] it seems. Glancing back, I skilfully dodge the beam.

Noticing the barrage of [Dark Rays] seems thin, I try to attack with [Dimension Claw], only for the origin matter to reactivate [Black Hole]. My body lurches towards it, causing my [Dimension Claw] to miss. As I turn to resist the pull, the [Black Hole] suddenly cuts off, causing me to flail in the air.

『It got me!』

I raise my left shoulder to block a [Dark Ray] with the treant. [Fairy Hex] activates for a third time. The returned [Dark Ray] strikes the origin matter.

『Master-dono… I’m close to my limit.』

Treant says, his voice pained. Looking at him, it seems a fourth hit would be too much.

Black light covers the origin matter again. But it isn’t [Black Hole] this time. It’s [Wormhole]. Near us, the black light signifying the [Wormhole] destination appears.

『It’s coming! But it’s not so scary if it doesn’t catch me by surprise!』

I fly away both from the [Wormhole] and the origin matter’s current position. A slash cuts through my body as a [Dimension Rend] hits me directly.

『Argh…!』

The [Wormhole] restricted my possible directions of flight. It knew that and used the [Wormhole] to guarantee a hit with [Dimension Rend].

A [Dark Ray] pierces through me as I struggle to recover. Treant just recently took a hit, so I let it hit my right side.

“GaaAAh!”

I scream in pain. A large hole has opened in my lower left abdomen. My altitude drops quite a bit from the impact, but I manage to turn myself around as I fall.

…Treant is wrapped around my body, and Aro is in my mouth. If they weren’t so secure, either of them could easily have been thrown into the air from that hit.

My balance still broken, I feel myself suddenly being pulled up by [Black Hole]. The mana cost of switching such a large-scale skill on and off again has to be quite significant. It’s throwing out all thoughts of efficiency to take us down as quickly as possible.

I need to dodge the [Dark Rays], but the [Black Hole] is preventing me from moving how I want. On top of that, the moment it finishes teleporting with [Wormhole], I’ll need to deal with [Dark Rays] coming from two different directions. My head feels overwhelmed. I glance towards the [Wormhole] destination. It should be about to come through. I need to dodge taking into account that [Dark Rays] will be flying towards me from that way too.

The light of [Wormhole] abruptly fades. I clench my teeth. It used [Wormhole] just as a feint. It never intended to actually teleport. I had no idea [Wormhole] could be used that way.

My expectations broken, additional [Dark Rays] fly towards me from the origin matter’s position. Unable to dodge in time, the beams gouge through my tail, leg, and back. I quickly activate [Autoregeneration] to regrow my missing parts. 

I had been managing to avoid getting hit badly until now, but at this late stage it finally got me…! No, I still have plenty of MP left. Besides, it’s clear that it isn’t considering the long term of this fight any longer.

The cost of switching [Black Hole] on and off like that has to be severe. This just goes to show how cornered it must have been feeling. Even though I’m taking some damage, the cost to its MP should make it worse off.

Before my [Autoregeneration] can finish, I feel myself being pulled back towards the origin matter. I desperately flap my wings to try and resist.

This [Black Hole] feels stronger than the previous. It clearly intends to kill me this time. Which means it’s going to use it! It’s about to use its trump card, [Big Bang], right after cutting my HP down. 

It’s the nightmare combo of [Black Hole] to forcefully pull the target closer and [Big Bang] to exterminate the target with overwhelming firepower. I hate to get hit by [Big Bang] again, but dodging isn’t realistic. It’s simply going to be a matter of how quickly I can heal up and avoid the follow up attacks. Unfortunately, getting hit by [Big Bang] is inevitable.

It would have been a lot easier if treant could reflect [Big Bang] with [Fairy Hex], but unfortunately the origin matter has a complete immunity to fire damage. Besides, even though he’s in [Immortal Revival], I don’t think he’s able to take a hit from [Big Bang] at the moment.

But, if I can endure this, the origin matter should be on the verge of defeat. I clench my teeth and glare back at the origin matter. 

Origin matter… I’ll definitely survive this…!
