Soverick began to accumulate power as he waited. World power and momentum fused with his being. His existence engorged on power to its brim. Golden cracks appeared on his body. He gripped his blade tighter in preparation to strike. He waited some more for the opportunity.
The attack lasted a whole 10 seconds. Soverick felt it as the insidious infection of the law matrix receded. The world relaxed as if to breathe a sigh of relief. That's when he struck.
He activated WRAITH OF DEATH: WORLD BREAKER fully this time. He took a step forward instead of submerging himself into the law matrix immediately. His being split into two. Then he split again as he took another step. Then the four mirages he has become fused and submerged into the law matrix.
He saw his target as soon as he entered the law matrix. Salvos is a sphere of fire in this world of concepts. He is not an active volcano anymore This sphere of fire is large and brimming with barely contained power. But it won't be able to eject fire into the world for the time being.
There are several other concepts around Soverick. The closest one is the concept of immutability that covers the pyramid he is standing on. This concept of immutability protected the pyramid and also served as a shield for him.
It is a rule that the pyramids cannot be damaged before they turn into golems. Soverick counted on it or else he would have been roasted by that 10 seconds attack. It is not a coincidence at all. He chose this battlefield for this exact reason.
Now that he has survived the attack, it is time for him to strike back. It is time for a counterattack. He locked onto the large sphere of fire. It has dimmed. It is an indication that Salvos cannot use his ability soon. Then Soverick shot forward.
Salvos used a 10 seconds attack. It is the first time in a long time that he used that. He usually used a second or two at most. He has never needed more because those that survived a one-second attack usually succumb to their wounds. Even kings of law can be killed by a two-second attack. All it needs is a single touch of his flames for their existence to be infiltrated by flames which will cause their consciousness to become crippled. They won't be able to resist at all with a crippled consciousness.
He had to use a ten-second attack now despite the short period of weakness just to be sure of defeating the child of the plane. It is practically overkill but he isn't willing to underestimate the child of the plane at all. It shouldn't be a problem. He will be ready to go before Soverick respawns.
His eyes dimmed and closed when he was done. It was then he realized that he couldn't see the child of the plane anymore. He smiled for the first time in a long while. He had to. It is a momentous occasion to have defeated the child of the plane. "Looks like I'll be the divine..."
He didn't get to finish that statement before he blacked out. Four unseen attacks struck him. It was like his existence was punctured by 4 spikes. Like a balloon impaled by 4 nails, he burst into pieces. That would have been the end of him if not for the brand on his body. The brand removed him from the arena as soon as possible preventing him from sustaining more damage. Then it infused him with restorative energy to help rebuild his body.
His body healed in less than a second but he wasn't paying attention to it. His consciousness awakened still confused and stunned. People don't just die for no reason. So there must be a reason why he died.
"Maybe someone snuck up on me." He reasoned to himself. "No that's impossible. I would have noticed an ambush with my divine sense."
He was still wondering what had happened to him for him to become an apparition. His new existence as an apparition allowed him to witness the scene of the child of the plane popping up beside where he died. He realized that Soverick is still alive and it must have something to do with his death.
He cocked his head in confusion. "What happened? I thought I killed him."
He can't see when he uses his attack. His eyes become blinded by the radiance of fire. It is a perfect reflection of what is going on in the world. He can only hope that what he is looking at dies before he closes his eyes. It has never been a problem before. Everyone that he opens his eyes to always disappears. So he thought he had killed the child of the plane when he didn't see Soverick standing in front of the pyramid anymore.
He realized what he did wrong soon after. "The pyramid. I see."
He had rampaged throughout the arena without a care in the world. Golems and people fell to him without much effort. One thing that he noticed was that the pyramid didn't get destroyed. He knows that the pyramids can't be destroyed before they turned into golems but it has never mattered because whoever he looks at disappears.
Somehow Soverick had survived contact with his flames and managed to get behind the pyramid to use it to block the rest of his attacks. Then Soverick somehow crossed the distance of 10 kilometers in a second or so and managed to kill him without him knowing about it.
"But how?" He asked himself.
He can't figure out Soverick did it. The pyramid is very large. So Soverick had to move a large distance to hide behind it. Soverick wouldn't be able to do that while enduring his divine ability. The only possible explanation is that Soverick managed to evade his divine ability.
Then he shook his head. "It seems my divine ability attack is not unblockable as I once thought." He wondered to himself.
