Mage Adam

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Inside the sealed space, forty-nine plasma blasts shot from fingertips of Adam and his avatars, blocking the Blade Envoy's path completely. The magic hit the Blade Envoy's body, causing a dull explosion.

These avatars weren't real.

Adam had added a Dirichlet function to his Mage Armor, which boosted his defense and agility in battle. He then converted this function and integrated it into his Electro True Self's algorithm.

The upgraded Electro True Self worked amazingly well with Lightning Dash magic. In this small two-kilometer space, Adam could set up an electric grid in every corner. Space magic couldn't be used here, but electromagnetic magic could achieve the same effect.

Adam could move through the entire grid in microseconds. He could switch at every node, making it seem like he was everywhere at once.

Although he wasn't a body-refining mage, Adam had no trouble fighting in this confined space.

The Blade Envoy glowed red, resisting Adam's magic because there was nowhere to hide. In overdrive, each of Adam's spells reached nearly the peak of level four strength. Judging by the shield's fluctuations, the Blade Envoy was struggling to withstand the attacks.

"A diluted level-five creature, even stronger than regular Metal Eaters, is still limited. Sending such a minion to duel with me..." As Adam flashed, his previous avatars disappeared. New avatars of him appeared, raising their hands to unleash lightning, filling the entire space with thunderbolts.

"They underestimated me," Adam muttered to himself.

The Blade Envoy could cut through lightning. The two large blades formed by his arms swung thousands of times per second.

In dynamic vision, Adam clearly saw him spinning in place, slicing through the lightning aimed at it.

But cutting through a few bolts didn't mean it could keep up.

Maintaining this regular magic consumed very little mana for Adam, so the lightning wouldn't stop as long as he willed it. Lightning could be generated anywhere the electric grid covered.

The Blade Envoy let out a few roars that Adam couldn't understand. His red glow suddenly shrank and then burst out, pushing away all the lightning in an instant. Then, his knees bent to the extreme, and using a completely inhuman way of exerting force, he leapt high and slashed down fiercely.

Two giant energy blades crossed in an "X" shape. Normally, the energy would have faded during flight due to spatial interference, but now, because of the gray energy, the blades were incredibly stable. The attack reached Adam in a flash, slicing all the avatars in that direction into pieces.

The Blade Envoy performed an unexpectedly agile turn for his size and slashed two more times behind it.

"Too clumsy. Aren't you a descendant of the void? That's all you've got?" Adam's voice echoed from all directions, constantly provoking it.

"I'll cut you into pieces!"

The Blade Envoy roared, opening all his compound eyes. His gaze became energized, creating a storm within the small two-kilometer space.

He felt incredibly frustrated. Among the Metal Eaters, he was one of the strongest below the Angels. His evolution focused on close combat and agility. His compound eyes naturally had powerful dynamic vision.

In the past, any enemy under his blade was like a toy, easily slaughtered without even touching his body. He looked down on his clumsy kin.

But now, against Adam, his compound eyes couldn't capture Adam's true form, and his intense focus made him dizzy.

"You're a shame to the Devourer, power wise. His abilities are mysterious, eerie, and powerful. But you..." said Adam.

Adam conjured an electromagnetic storm, clashing with the blades. In terms of raw power, Adam was at a disadvantage, but his complete control over energy allowed him to respond calmly.

"How dare you speak Father's name!" the Blade Envoy shouted in anger.

Ignoring the interruption, Adam moved to the other side of the space. He continued, "But you are so weak. All you have is basic energy accumulation, like mindless bacteria. Oh, I get it now. Only the Devourer is truly a descendant of the Dilus. You are just a bunch of primitive bugs."

"Die!"

The Blade Envoy's scales opened, and lava flowed out, trying to fill the space and leave Adam no escape.

However, it was useless. Adam used a basic level one fire spell, Fire Form, to remain unscathed amidst the lava and high temperatures.

"You are terrible at using elements and energy. Do you think mere fire and heat make you strong? You are much weaker than the seventh Angel," Adam taunted.

He didn't want to use his high-consumption magic like the Judgment Sword, which would cause severe energy drain. Even if he could kill the Blade Envoy, there were still five big bugs waiting for him outside.

"You are anxious, aren't you? The god-given space is just your imagination. If the Devourer could truly create a space with specific rules, I would have died long ago," Adam said. He drew the heat from the surrounding lava, transforming it into solid rock, then shattered it with a simple earth spell. He then gathered the mineral particles into a sword, creating an iron sand sword several hundred meters long, swinging it through the air.

"Only the victor can leave? Do you believe that yourself? No energy can exist forever; it's against basic rules. So, this space will disappear soon." Adam fired a shot at the space's wall, observing the undisguised fluctuation in the gray energy.

"Your biggest mistake was sending a melee fighter to capture me. See, you can't even touch me."

The Blade Envoy roared sharply at the sky. His frenzied attacks made the gray energy fluctuate more violently, driving him nearly insane.

Adam's words pierced his weakest points, causing him to doubt himself.

Adam stopped speaking, fearing the Blade Envoy might choose to self-destruct. In such a small space, Adam had nowhere to hide. If he did self-destruct, Adam would be severely injured as well.

As Adam had predicted, the space didn't withstand their combined attacks for long and shattered like glass.

The Blade Envoy was stunned. He couldn't believe the fact that the means left by their god, their Father, was broken by someone as weak as Adam.

"Floating fortresses, begin energy accumulation."

"Countdown, five."
