Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent!

Chapter 315: Two dominating auras

The moment Varkoth's 'transformation' was fully complete, he made his move.

'He's using the same stances as he did before.'

Alex noticed immediately that Varkoth hadn't really changed anything too drastic about his methods, so he was wondering just how useful this new method would really be for him.

But he got his answer soon enough.

Varkoth's feet dug into the ground, with his back slightly bending like he was about to launch off the ground like a spring.

Alex was ready to dodge the moment he saw him come near.

But that's where the problem lay.

He never saw him…

The moment Varkoth's foot even slightly left the ground, he completely disappeared.

Like he was never even there.

'Impossible!'

But Alex could sense something with his spatial perception.

Varkoth had just broken the spatial barrier.

He realised just what Varkoth had been preparing for in that moment.

It seemed Varkoth had covered himself fully in his penetration energy to be able to penetrate through something that some still believed was just a concept.

Space.

He had penetrated through space directly, slipping through the cracks he had created to find himself in between dimensions.

Or more specifically, in the Void dimension.

But unlike Mira who had a talent to go back and forth when she liked, Varkoth wasn't as blessed.

His body couldn't withstand the forces of that place for more than a few seconds, as only A- ranks or higher, or unique characters like Mira, could do that.

But a few seconds was enough for him to achieve his goal.

Alex looked around himself frantically, desperately trying to figure out where Varkoth had disappeared to.

But he had completely vanished.

He was not in his range of perception at all.

It didn't take a genius to realise that Varkoth had teleported to a different plane entirely, but what could Alex do about that?

Nothing was the answer.

He could only protect himself.

But the trouble was that he had no idea where Varkoth would attack from.

There was nothing he could read.

Alex knew he was in big trouble.

And right at that moment, the source of that trouble had just returned back into the physical world…

Right in front of Alex…

His arm was outstretched, and Alex looked down to find Varkoth's entire hand up until his wrist submerged in his chest.

The pain hadn't settled in yet, but Alex felt a sense of dread settle in immediately.

Varkoth's claws were just millimetres away from his most vital organs.

If he even moved a tiny bit, Alex would be even more severely injured than he already was, if not fatally injured.

'Fuck!'

Alex jumped back, causing himself incredible pain as Varkoth's hand was forcibly removed from his chest, revealing the gruesome wound to the world.

He ducked and rolled, leaping back up to his feet.

At this moment, it was like his mind had turned off in rage.

Just like Varkoth had done, Alex unleashed his Phoenix Flames at their full might, allowing them to envelop his body entirely.

His eyes had even started glowing a crimson red along with the aura of crimson flames surrounding his body.

The air between the two of them was thick with energy of conflicting attributes.

Alex's Phoenix fire wanted nothing more than to tear at Varkoth and burn him to atoms, while Varkoth's Silver penetration energy wanted nothing more than to completely slice Alex apart.

Alex's chest burned with pain, but the agony only further fuelled the inferno surrounding him.

Varkoth grinned wickedly as he licked the blood from his claws, sending a terrifying image through the minds of the other humans on the battlefield below.

By now this fight had become so spectacular that they had forgotten they were watching two lower life forms fight.

They almost thought they were watching a battle between two higher life forms for a second!

But with Alex's mind practically on the back burner, with his body's own instincts taking over control, his attacks were about to get much more wild.

And the first thing he did was use something that Alex had been meaning to keep as a trump card for times like this.

Soul fire.

It was an unpredictable force that Alex had hardly used in battle before, tied directly to his own spirit, his very existence.

But Varkoth had pushed him to his limits, so Alex felt like he had no choice.

With a deep, guttural growl, Alex's flames shifted.

The crimson hue of the Phoenix flames darkened, deepening into blood red, then black, until there was literally no colour to them at all.

Varkoth sensed the change in Alex and narrowed his eyes.

But instead of feeling intimidated, it only spurred him on.

"Finally, you show me what you're really made of." Varkoth sneered.

"But it won't save you."

Alex didn't answer as he literally wasn't able to.

With that, Varkoth launched himself forward, his form disappearing once more into the void dimension.

Alex closed his eyes, focusing not on the physical world, but on the energy around him.

He could feel the disturbance in space Varkoth had made.

And knowing that Varkoth would attempt the same move he had made previously, Alex spread out his own energy into his general surroundings.

His soul fire expanded outwards, covering a 10 metre radius around him.

And with its invisible nature, Varkoth hadn't even noticed.

A few seconds later, he reappeared in the physical world once again, aiming to slice through Alex's heart from his back this time.

But the moment he stepped into the physical realm and entered the radius around Alex, his mind went blank for a split second.

"GARGHHH!"

Until he screamed.

Alex's soul fire all compressed on Varkoth the moment he reappeared, with all of the latent energy in the 10 metres radius converging on Varkoth at once.

The pain was so unbearable for Varkoth that he was forced into his own soul space, where he was confronted by all sorts of horrors that were attacking his soul.
