Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Chapter 229: Beginning of First Mark! (8/8), Echoing Far & Wide! (1)



[A/N: Cooking begins]

Rin and Erix sat on a tree branch a hundred meter away from the raging river.

The destroyed forest in the area was magically recovering. The dark shade trees and plants of various dark colors automatically fixed again with no trace of previous destruction of the battle.

They had defeated a total of six Royal order hunters so far in the past five hours. Naturally, they only spent around ten minutes battling while they spent the rest on training and improving.

Although the fights were short, they were intense and tough, giving them ideas and refining their combat.

But they must complete their new skill technique and combat style before fighting the next two Royal-order hunters as they were more powerful, even slightly more powerful than Morgana and Zenia.

"Erix, let's spar for a bit."

"Yeah, I was thinking the same."

The duo floated with a hundred-meter distance between them.

Erix's both arms were modified into metallic Etherine Veil metal, shining dark purple and faint silver with eccentrically woven patterns.

A faint dark purple aura coated his arms as well.

On the other hand, Rin had started dual-wielding. Using Blade Eater in one hand and a plain Mana-blade in another.

Her new combat style was set in stone with her idea of imposing chaos concept swiftly with her Mana-blade and empowering any skill techniques she executes through her Blade Eater!

Since it was a pure Mana-blade, Rin could transform it into any element she had, so she could just flow her second blade with her skill execution, creating Chronace flow and imposing chaos concept in it before properly and precisely merging with her skills to empower it!

But she had yet to master this combat style and create an ultimate skill for one shot.

Erix was not in the same situation, but a similar one as the chaos he produced in his punch using Vigor force was still not giving a powerful enough boost for a one-shot kill.

Just like Rin, he had also yet to create an ultimate skill that could bring out the full potential of the Chaos concept.

Thus, the duo started sparring, trying various magic applications they learned from various skills and observative understanding from others to refine—nay, to redefine their combat styles.

An hour quickly passed as they fought each other, sat before each other to share various views, and fought again.

There was not a moment of waste, and the Pills were aiding them in their endeavor in this path to power.

As time passed and minutes turned into another hour, their combat forms increasingly expanded and became exotic.

The closer they reached their goals, the more excitement and thrill burned in their eyes.

And then, they finished it.

They did it.

They...redefined their combat styles and carved out an entirely new battle path for themselves!

"It costs a lot of Mana, but we can just chug a Mana recovery potion right after entering the forms."

"You can convert your Stamina into Mana, so you wouldn't have much problem in that regard. But I am fine with this as well. Hehe, we created something awesome."

"I think we should call it Combat Art forms," Erix asked, his demeanor displaying an intense thrill. "What do you say?"

"This is crazy…from now on, we will create Combat Art forms like this and the their skill....we can call them Skillcrafts!" Rin excitedly grinned.

"Skillcraft is perfect name for our new type of skills!"

"We should also name our Combat Art forms," Rin nodded.

"Hmmm, since I made use of that Celestial Spiral Waves's formations in my combat form, I'll name it…" Erix trailed off in his murmurs.

"Celestial Chaos form!"

"I look pretty celestial chaotic in my battle form, so it suits," Erix added with a grin.

"Then I'll name mine Asura Chaos form," Rin grinned, "It also suits with the looks."

"Alright, let's do proper execution of our first skillcrafts and then completely master the sustainance of our forms."

Rin nodded with an eager smile, "we'll tell Lilith to send next two after that."

Both of them distanced themselves several tens of meters before initiating their new combat style.

It was no longer about using skills like others. No. From now onward, they would use thei Combat Art forms before battling!

Rin's whole body shone briefly along with patterns before six strange starlight-liquidy golden blades with dark red sparks floated behind her.

-1800 Mana.

She also charged up her Blade Eater as it took the form of Katana with a spiraling criss-cross Chronace Flow around its blade.

-1000 Mana.

And then, she spent 1200 Mana to create tiny chaotic chronace storms around the six floating blades.

'Focus and control.'

She stayed like that after consuming 4000 Mana and entering her Combat form.

On the other hand, Erix's arms blurred briefly as he consumed 2600 Mana and caused a swift movement of his arms and hands, creating two whirling spheres of Nihilir before him as they floated to his left and right.

Erix's eyes flashed dreamy silvery as those 1-meter-sized orbs phased through the material plane and entered Space Limbo, where he could control and maintain them better with his Space matter manipulation.

Afterward, his arms eccentrically glowed as he activated the formations and infused Nihilir essence worth 1000 Mana into both of his arms.

Total cost 4600 Mana.

His arms were glowing volatile as he focused on maintaining control of the formations in his arms and the chaotic spheres.

Erix and Rin didn't move an inch after that, fully focusing and getting used to their respective Combat Arts's initial forms.

After twenty minutes of pure focus and control, observing every aspect of their form and imprinting it in their consciousness, they were finally ready to test the waters.

"Ready?" Erix smacked his fists together as they released silverly-purple sparks.

"Ready," Rin nodded as she wielded Blade Eater and a Mana-blade while the six chaotic blades floated behind her.

Both of them chugged a bit from a Mana potion.

"One execution, one-sixth consumption of combat art form," Erix said, setting the rules.

"My 100 Blade energy, your 250 Vigor force, and both 100 Spirit force," Rin replied, consuming 100 Blade energy as it infused into her blade, empowering it.

Erix nodded, using 250 Vigor Force. They had roughly checked that Rin's 100 Blade energy gave a boost equivalent to the boost given by 250 Vigor Force.

Both of them also used Spirit force, empowering their formations of the skill that could only be executed in their combat art forms.

They looked at each other's eyes with a focus for two complete seconds before moving simultaneously, each consuming 1000 Mana for the Skillcraft's release.

Erix widely swung both of his hands forward in lariat-style, his fists going through the two 1-meter big spheres, all while he exerted his physical strength and stored it for a brief millisecond.

His right fist emerged from the right sphere first, instantly producing a punch projectile seething with spiraling chaos swirls, but his left fist emerged exactly 0.01 seconds afterward, instantly producing another punch projectile raging with utterly random flow inside the fist-form projectile.

The second punch instantly infused into the first one, making it more chaotic. His Nihilir element was more than capable of maintaining the form with his control.

The meter big dark purple-faint silver punch projectile with flamy violet waves and dark blue exotic whirls chaotically seething inside shot forward. The punch projectile looked utterly devastating yet perfectly shaped.

-Combat Art: Celestial Chaos form—Cost: 4600 Mana.

-First Skillcraft: Resonating Turbulent Punch!—Cost: 1000 Mana.

This Punch projectile had the power of his Nihilir element as its foundation, boosted by his Passive skills, Vigor Force, Spirit Force, Death affinity's boosts, Space affinity's boosts, Flame affinity's boost…

Offensive application of his Nihilir element—Dismantle aspect.

Chaos concept's boost!

Punch Concept's boost!

Most importantly, his Metal affinity's boosts on his Etherine Veil metal arms carved with magic formations and Combat Art weaved all those forces and empowered them into this form of punch!

On the other hand, Rin also expended one-sixth of her combat form's portion.

After swinging her Blade Eater-Katana first at a precise speed horizontally according to the execution, her left hand holding the Mana-Blade swung vertically while one of her six chaotic blades instantly merged into Mana-blade with her absolute control over flow and time around her.

Her thick horizontal slash immediately got stuck by her vertical slash before they merged into a spinning cross-slash, the spin maintaining the chaotic phenomenon of her Chronace flow, becoming brightly colorful and volatile.

-1200 Mana.

The sparkling dark-red cross-slash with small dark gold swirls and cross-cross flow around it shot forward, bringing it with the chaotic, colorful sphere around it.

-Combat Art: Asura Chaos form—cost: 4000 Mana.

-First Skillcraft: Chaotic Cross-Slash!—cost: 1200 Mana.

This move had the power of her Chronace flow as a perfect foundation that allowed her to properly contain the reactive chaos that would result until the clash.

Boosted by her Passive skills, Spirit Force, Blade Energy, Lightning Affinity's boosts, Wind Affinity's boosts, Chronace Affinity's boosts, Time Affinity's single boost…

-Offensive application of her Chronace Flow: Dissolution flow.

-Blade concept's boosts!

-Chaos concept's boost!

-And her eccentrically waved split formations with one executing through her body and one on her Mana-blade that forged this Chaotic Cross-slash through her Asura Chaos combat form!

Finally, there was one most interesting thing.

Rin's application of chaos and Skillcraft was the exact opposite of Erix's application in his Skillcraft!—such was the wonder of the Chaos concept: highly versatile as long as one had power, means, and wits to guide it!

*Sworrrrr…Boom!*

The Resonating Turbulent Punch and Chaotic Cross-slash clashed against each other, immediately blasting into a pitch-black explosion before it turned colorful and chaotic, clearly shattering the space due to the reactive output of chaotic energies that resulted from the clash!

Both of them also shot backward due to the shockwaves while reeling with excitement deep within!

These two attacks! They were the most powerful attacks they've executed to date, and they hadn't even gone all out yet!

...

Lilith was also watching them, her eyes shining with amazement and excitement.

'Superbly done, you two!' Her fists were clenched without her knowing as she felt such a thrill after a long time.

Lilith even felt she could improve her combat power significantly from what she observed and learned from the duo!
