Will of chaos

I was trapped in this damn place, while fighting Ayden I kept going everywhere, but no matter where I was going, the battlefield seemed to move along with our fight. This place has no walls, nor is it separated by spaces or dimensions, I don't feel anything different from the universe and yet the difference is more than clear to see. I kept looking for a way out for obvious reasons, this place is an obvious advantage for Ayden, while for me it is just a great restriction on my greatest ability, my attack versatility. It was as if I was fighting with handcuffs on my wrists and feet, I don't think I've ever been so restricted in a fight before. "There is no escape from here, Bringer of Chaos!" (Ayden) His sword comes towards me, but as soon as I put my sword to defend his, a strong blow hits me in the leg, he kicked my leg in the middle of his own blow to make me lose the chance to defend. He was strong, but he would need more than that to win. I let the energy inside me explode outward, causing him to move away while I took advantage of this time to reposition myself. "< Sword of Judgment >" (me) "< Universal Slash >" (Ayden) I use one of the sword strikes I learned in the past. My sword shines as I advance against Ayden, but instead of hitting the enemy who was already ready to attack, I aimed somewhere else. I engrave the sword in space as if I had done it on a real floor. The sword shines the more I thrust it into space. Without understanding what I was doing, Ayden aimed his sword at me directly, but before I could finish his strike without hesitation, it was at that moment that space opened up from above him, letting a large sword fall from the sky onto him with the weight of mountains. But to my unfortunate surprise, he turned his body and continued swinging his sword, this time turning the blow upwards, cutting the great sword in half. "(I can use my energies... but everything else...)" (me) I tried using my magic or the Spiritual Runes, I even tried the powers of the Law that I stole from the Ascendants, but nothing worked, it was as if these techniques shouldn't even exist here, as if I was trying to use gravity in the vacuum of space, it was simply impossible. I was starting to realize the details of this place and how strong it was, unfortunately my time to digress was running out. "< Chaos Dragon's Slash >" (me) "Circle of Bloody Blades" (Ayden) Concentrating my Starfire on the edge of my sword, I swing it, releasing a wave of flames in their direction, this wave of flames twists on itself taking the form of a Dragon that advances towards them on its own. He holds his sword and spins it as if he were cutting the space in a circle in front of him, leaving a ring of intense red energy in its place. Millions of illusory swords advance towards me, all made of red energy. These red swords and my Starfire Dragon collide, but to my surprise, those swords were able to cut the Starfire Dragon even though it was an ethereal being with a momentary life. His attacks left cuts on his body that were literally bleeding red energy, but of course the swords themselves were being covered by the Starfire and then falling apart. With these attacks and the surprise of the Starfire Dragon being injured, I ended up losing sight of Ayden who appeared next to me, his sword aiming at my neck. "< Unholy Breath >" (me) I open my mouth to release the breath attack, there is no technique or magic behind it and it was the most basic attack as well as one of the strongest for all Dragons, perhaps that's why I didn't feel the same blockage as Starfire emerged from my mouth towards Ayden in a cone area. As his sword slashed towards me, he also had his vision blocked, but his sword didn't stop, cutting through my breath attack without slowing down, even so it was good enough for me. My tail with a blade on the tip snaked through the flames aiming for the side of Ayden's neck, who was slow to notice my movement, he put an arm in front, but this wasn't a throwing attack, but my tail that I controlled by deflecting his arm at high speed before hitting the side of his helmet, pushing his entire body to the side. "(Nix, Layla...!!)" (me) "(Ragnar!!)" (me) "(The connections... are still there, but I can't reach them.)" (me) I wanted to wait for this gap to call my Familiars, if I integrated their strength into mine, I would be able to fight better against Ayden, but I wasn't able to and that was a wasted time when Ayden appeared in front of me once again, his sword was faster, more precise and heavier than mine. He was also constantly digging future openings using his experience and technique with the sword for this, he planned his blows with precision to force me to use the sword in a way that left openings that he could attack, I only realized when it was too late, my body would already be badly injured if it weren't for the Eclipse Armor covering my body. I was constantly thinking of ways to overcome Ayden. I'm not an idiot who will believe in the power of the heart or my grandfather's deck of cards, or anything like luck like the protagonists in the media I followed in my previous life. I need to think of some way to overcome someone who surpasses me in strength, technique, and combat experience without relying on external help, be it my Familiars who I can't reach or Tarzor who was in a dormant state recovering. Whispers Whispers "..." (me) "!!!" (Ayden) Suddenly I hear distant whispers that I can't identify. These Whispers are the same ones I heard before, and this time I wasn't caught off guard. My willpower and mind were focused because of the battle, so I felt the voices of these whispers trying to affect me. My energy was bubbling inside me. As if he had noticed something, Ayden steps back and aims his sword at me, his presence changing, becoming more bloodthirsty and even more intense energy rays cover his sword as something emerges from him, a sensation much deeper and heavier than before, making the previously illusory space around him become almost real. "Interesting..." (War) "Huh!?" (me) I didn't need to think much about what was happening, I knew, anyone would know, Ayden had been possessed by the War Entity, his presence was unmistakable, it was as if the very concept of war was embodied in a form, it was suffocating and yet it only lasted a moment as if he just wanted to see something in person before looking away. In the same sudden way that War appeared in Ayden, and also disappeared in the same sudden way, the posture and presence he possesses changes when he returns, then his Aura decreases to its previous state as he looks doubtfully at me, his helmet was even half broken on the side because of the attack from my tail earlier. "What is your name, Bringer of Chaos?" (Ayden) "You know my name, why ask now?" (me) Whispers "..." (me) "Because this time my lord has shown interest in you and for your existence I will take your head in honor of him." (Ayden) Ayden's intensity increased, but that was just one more problem to deal with, even though War didn't interfere in the fight, I can feel that his attention is still focused here. Whispers "Child... don't hold back... don't fear... chaos flows on its own..." (???) "(Child... don't hold back... don't fear... chaos flows on its own...)" (???) "!!!" (me) Suddenly the Whispers return as many overlapping voices, but one female voice in particular stands out, once upon a time beautiful in a language I didn't know, yet strangely I was able to understand, this voice sounded overlapping as if I was hearing it both in my mind and as if it were right next to my ear being whispered. This voice for some reason made my whole body heat up not with excitement, but as if I was being pushed to the limit, my energy flowed between my Soul and body with more intensity, wildness and speed than before too. But what drove me almost crazy was feeling the Power of Chaos inside me move, not all of it, but rather one of its abilities, one of the most fundamental in me, the first one I obtained, the Chaotic Devourer. Sigh~ It was as if until now a beast had been dormant and was now awakening or perhaps being born, I felt this ability of mine flow into the Eclipse Sword in my hands automatically releasing a technique created by me while a soft sigh sounds from somewhere. "< 1st Stellar Sword Art: World Consumer >" (me) GGGGRRRRRRR!!!
