~FWUUUUUSSSHHHH!!!~
As the last barrage of arrows fell, all fired at the dark cocoon that housed Legris, Kuzon watched in silence.
The golden projectiles, like heavy raindrops on a cloudy day, showed no mercy in their rapid bombardments. Each one tore through space, sending shockwaves and cackles of energy bursting forth with its strike.
In the end, however, once the noise settled and the vast array of arrows were exhausted, the cocoon remained.
"I see…" Kuzon murmured as he watched the blanket of darkness unfurl, revealing Legris within.
He was unharmed, much to Kuzon's disappointment, and his wide grin even seemed to taunt him. The black cocoon returned to his cloak and the rest of his black-coated form.
"That was quite a barrage." Legris whispered, but Kuzon ignored it.
'So the speed and numbers don't matter, huh?' He had thought that an overwhelming attack could override the regenerative or dexterious qualitiy of the black energy, but that didn't seem to be the case.
As a result, Kuzon had to start looking for another alternative.
'Now I'm even more hesitant to get too close.' No trace of his arrows could be seen or sensed by him, and it almost felt like they didn't exist.
It caused Kuzon to shiver at the thought of what would happen if he was affected.
'Let's seek out another alterna—"
"You shouldn't ignore me!" Legris' voice echoed in the vast expanse, and Kuzon felt the golden hair at back of his hair tingle as the man of darkness appeared behind him in a rush.
It was so swift and sudden that it defied explanation.
~WHOOOOOSSSHHHH!!!~
Legris sent out his claws in that split-moment, with Kuzon seemingly defenseless and caught off-guard by the sudden strike.
However…
"I don't think so." Kuzon's voice suddenly echoed behind Legris, causing the latter's eyes to bulge in shock.
After all, if Kuzon was behind him… then who was in front?
The golden figure who stood there was merely a golden manifestation of Kuzon—a mannequin he designed from his golden threads.
And now that Legris had closed in on this duplicate of his, he could finally try out his next move.
'Can the darkness protect you now?'
Kuzon's golden statue instantly took the form of several strings, all of them wrapping themselves around Legris as if binding him all over his body with their immutable force.
However…
"This won't work, you know?"
… All the threads quickly became nothing but darkness that melted upon contact with Legris.
In no time at all, he was free.
"You should know better, Kuzon. Or… ah, Jared is the smart one. You're just the one who got priviledged with a bunch of power and has nothing else going for him."
Legris' devilish grin showed nothing but utter disgust towards Kuzon, but the latter maintained his calmness.
'What's with his sudden change in mood?' Kuzon narrowed his gaze and watched Legris smile morph into one that showed slight annoyance.
While he knew that Legris considered him an enemy, he couldn't explain the sudden display of malevolence towards him.
'Is he about to get more serious?' Kuzon asked himself.
It would be more disadvantageous for him if he allowed Legris to pull out more cards. As a result, Kuzon decided it was best to end things with his next move.
'This will be rough.'
Grasping his staff, while drawing all the power he had spread out of back into himself, he focused all of it into his weapon.

'Here goes…' Kuzon narrowed his gaze and centered his attention on Legris, who seemed to be waiting for his next strikee.
An unfathomable amount of golden energy was channeled into the staff that Kuzon held, and the multiple other weapons that floated around Kuzon also whirred at the growing staff's tip.
It seemed like all of his power was being concentrated on that single blow.
"Haha! Are you stupid? Going for a pure energy blast?" Legris cackled, his eyebrow raised in both shock and disappointment.
Kuzon understood why.
If Legris was adept enough, he would be able to evade the attack, leading to a waste of energy. Plus, if Kuzon directed the energy on a large scale, perhaps destroying the entire dimension, then its effectiveness would be lessened.
In the end, he wouldn't be able to deal any substantial damage.
Finally, it was still unclear if his black energy had some form of limited durability. From what he noticed, they didn't seem to have one.
As a result, if Legris shrouded himself in that black cocoon of his, then he would be invulnerable.
Still… Kuzon began his aim.
'He desires as much energy as possible, so he won't bother dodging my assault since he can just take it head on and absorb the power I give him.'
As a result, Kuzon knew he wouldn't miss.
~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!~
The pressure that proceeded from the staff was enough to cause the entire dimension to tremble. The air vibrated, and everything within it understood its immense power.
Despite such strength, however, Kuzon only focused the energy in a streamlined blast—enough to completely bathe the dark cocoon that Legris was already forming in its light.
The energy would be focused, and it would deal immense damage. However, the fact that Legris was pulling up his black coccon made it evident that he was more than confient enough to handle Kuzon's blast.
'Let's see, shall we?' Kuzon grinned, releasing all of the pent-up power that had formed on his weapon.
And then… it fired.
~WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!~
The hum from the beam of light sent shivers through every particle in the entire dimension, and the actual attack definitely eviscerated everything in its path as it made its way to Legris Damien.
The dark cocoon formed.
The blast neared, its speed and power unlike anything the dark sphere had ever handled before.
As the two manifestations of contrasting nature clashed, everything was blown away, creating shards of space and energy lashing around in a never-ending vortex of power.
The entire dimension was bathed in a storm of phenomenal power, all coalescing at a single point—the blot of darkness.
Whether even this, a power enough to shatter a universe, would be enought to infiltrate the dark territory was still uncertain.
All of existence could only wait and see.
