Chapter 128: 128. Orion vs The Apocalypse-Level Monster - 5

The huge sun that appeared between the monster and Orion's remnant body collided with them, creating a dazzling display of light and energy. The collision sent shockwaves rippling through the air, illuminating the battlefield with a brilliant orange glow.

BOOM!—

Almost instantly, the sun detonated with a deafening roar, unleashing a cataclysmic explosion that engulfed the monster and Orion's remnant body in a blinding flash of light.

The force of the detonation sent shockwaves radiating outward, shaking the very foundations of the battlefield.

Debris and energy scattered in all directions, creating a chaotic storm of destruction. Orion watched from the safety of his dimension, his heart pounding in anticipation of the outcome.

He could only see a mushroom-like explosion expanding rapidly, causing the whole city to tremble in its wake. The flames raged in all directions, consuming everything in their path with relentless fury.

The ground below the explosion became charred black, and almost all the wreckage and debris were blown away by the sheer momentum of the explosion. Buildings crumbled, and the ground shook violently as the shockwave swept through the streets.

A desolate landscape stretched out in all directions, scarred by the devastating force of the blast.

Sometimes later, the attack died down and a very eerie calm ensued throughout the whole city.

Meanwhile, in the air, a huge mass of black smoke surrounded the monster and Orion's remnant body, if it still managed to stay intact.

Within the swirling darkness, Orion could see flashes of flame flicker ominously from time to time, as if the sun still hadn't died down. Each flash of flame illuminated the smoke-filled sky, casting eerie shadows that danced across the battlefield.

Orion waited for the smoke to go away.

"ROOOOAAAAR!"

However, a menacing roar sounded at that moment and the mass of smoke surrounding the monster was blown away by that roar.

Orion could finally see clearly and was genuinely surprised this time.

He saw that its head was still fine even after all of that but not so for its other body parts.

Its huge torso, made up of earth, was completely charred black and destroyed from side to side, making it barely recognizable.

Its limbs suffered the same fate. Cracks appeared on them and some chunks of their parts were even completely destroyed.

Orion felt that it was the first time since their fight that he had even dealt damage to the monster. Before all of that, his attacks barely scratched it.

But for some reason, its head was as fine as ever. He just couldn't understand if his attack completely missed its head or if its head was invincible to begin with.

"Berserk mode activated."

Within the sphere, the opposing forces battled for dominance, each seeking to overcome the other in a fierce struggle for control. Heat and cold radiated from the sphere in waves, causing the air to shimmer and distort with their combined power.

After a moment of constantly controlling the sphere, Orion was finally able to stabilize the ice and fire, suppressing them within it.

All that happened in a matter of a few seconds so the monster still hadn't come close to him yet.

Turning his head toward the monster, a crazy smile appeared on his face.

"This is the third-named technique of mine. Beheld to witness its might."

He declared this as he prepared himself to unleash the chaotic form of energy in his palms.

"Ice and Fire—Supernova."

Whaaam!—

A wave of crimson and blue energy surged forth from the sphere, hurtling towards the incoming monster with unstoppable force. The vibrant hues of red and blue illuminated the city, casting a dazzling display of light across the landscape.

As the wave moved towards its monster, it seemed to distort the very air around it, leaving a trail of swirling energy in its wake.

However, at this exact moment, something happened that caused Orion to curse the heavens themselves.

[Burst Mode ended.]

[Curse - Unyielding Encasement had been permanently removed.]

As soon as the notification appeared in his vision, Orion's gigantic form began to glow with a red light and turned into particles, disappearing into thin air.

But it didn't cause any hindrance to the attack he was currently performing.

He was floating in the air and his position was the same as that of his colossal form, unleashing a wave of crimson and blue hues of energy towards the monster.

The Burst Mode time ran out at the exact moment he unleashed the supernova; therefore, only a few seconds had passed till then and because of that, the wave of energy still hadn't reached the monster yet.

"Agghh!"

However, in the middle of the attack, Orion felt pain so intense that he screamed in agony, causing his mind to divert his attention from the attack as a result the sphere of ice and fire became unstable and disintegrated into red and white particles.

He felt relieved after his attack disintegrated into nothingness but he still couldn't understand what caused this pain all of a sudden.

'System, what happened to me just now?'

[Host's colossal form had the strength and physical body required to utilize the amount of energy used in that Supernova technique. But not the host's current physical body. Even though the host has almost infinite energy, the host needs to have a strong physical body to use that much energy. Otherwise, the host would receive some serious drawbacks.]
