The Primordial Record

Learning this pattern gave him the freedom to sacrifice less mental power towards his defense and push it towards offense. His Wind blades were becoming faster and more accurate, and the body of the girl was practically in pieces.

Although he was not sure how much damage he was inflicting upon her at the start because she had always been laughing, perhaps she had not realized that as the battle was proceeding, her laughter had begun to die down.

He had observed that no matter how much he was able to rip her apart, her body was still kept together by strands of muscles, bones, or vines, and no single part of her had been lost so far.

Therefore the goal was to sever a body part entirely from the whole and destroy it entirely. Andar did not think that this was impossible to do so, no matter how tyrannical her flesh was to be, at this time she was still a Rank 3 Mage.

Her weakness was glaring to him, which was simply Aether. Without the usage of Spells which might have given her the edge, she was challenging Andar using her physique alone, but that was not the only mistake she was making.

It was an oversight that she challenged him when she was still a Rank 3 Mage and not stronger, perhaps if she attacked when he was an Acolyte, she would have the chance to win.

The fact was that, even without the ability to utilize any spells in this fight. He still did not know his true limits and he had not been giving his all in this fight, he was simply laying down the foundations and now he was ready.

Andar placed his hands together as if he was praying, his long jackets flared to the side carried by the winds around him, he had not suffered a single injury since this fight began and his clothes were still spotless.

He spread his hands apart, and the Wind blades that surrounded him instantly increased from ten thousand to ten million!

Next, he fully activated Gray Will and his body began to stiffen slowly. He did not truly need his body, just his mind.

Andar looked at the girl whose red eyes showed tiredness and he was uncertain if he saw a hint of doubt.

He pressed his palms together again, a relatively simple action, but what he was doing was just a distraction to hide the fact that he had been secretly creating tons of Wind blades and keeping them inside his Endless Vault, and now he began to summon all of them.

Separating his palms, the Wind blades that had nearly filled this cavern multiplied to a horrifying hundred million in number, and it was as if Andar had become surrounded by a green sun.

Every single locust was vaporized and the body of the girl was shot back towards the end of the cavern where she slammed into the compressed walls of the cavern that were now as hard as diamonds.

Her body left a large crater in the walls, and she looked at Andar with shock and the beginning of wariness. She had not even received the attack and she was nearly at the edge of death!

Andar was a Rank 1 Mage, not what anyone would call this level special, but at this moment, he had called up enough power to entirely eradicate every single life on the surface of a Minor World.

This level of power was ridiculous for a being of his stature, and he would have been able to utterly eradicate Rowan at the same Rank. It should be noted that according to the Dominator's power ranking, a Rank 1 Mage was equal to a Rift State Dominator, so Andar was at the first Great Circle but the power he had just unleashed could equal that of an Arch mage!

He had many advantages, his extremely special physique gave him what could be regarded as an unlimited well of Aether, and his Endless Vault was also a storage that could be used to hold anything and keep them in the same state as when he placed them inside it.

Normally it was impossible to place a Wind blade inside a Spatial Treasure, and even if it was possible, it would break down in a few moments without a steady injection of Spirit, but he could simply create a Wind blade and place it inside his Endless Vault and the technique would not deteriorate.

This was simply a massive cheat. The Mira that came for Andar was his girlfriend, but Andar had noticed the switch when he felt his body react to another Time Stop in his vicinity.

Right before the battle happened above as the earthquakes and the screaming began, Andar's physique had detected that the flow of time had been disturbed in his vicinity.

Whoever had stopped time again did not include him inside the bubble, and Mira must have been switched at that time, but he was not expected to know, in fact, he was sure that even an Arch mage might not have been able to detect Time Stop, but his Endless Vault and unique physique made it possible for him to collect every single energy and sensation and not omit them.

It was easy to find certain loopholes in this new 'Mira' and he began creating Wind blades and placing them inside his Endless Vault as both of them descended the stairs to the battlefield of his choosing.

That was not all, he made formations inside his Endless Vault, using his masteries over all the Magus Disciplines and his act of slaughtering Mira was to push those formations deep into the body of the imposter, while disguising them using her own flesh.

It would be impossible for his enemy to find the formations he had planted inside her body for a short time, but that was if she would be able to make it past the upcoming moments.

Sweat began to line her forehead, was her throne about to be taken away from her?

This uncertainty only made her grin wider. She had never anticipated that fighting someone weaker than her would cause her to draw on her Meditation Art.

"I am so happy, I finally have an equal." She whispered and the red of her eyes extinguished itself and what was left behind was a black iris, like the void between stars.

She pushed herself away from the walls and called out, "I am about to call on the power of my Meditation Art, I should warn you, this power was not made to be invoked inside the material universe!"

Andar simply cocked his head to the side, he knew that the method he could use to win this fight cleanly was not to allow her the chance to use the power of her Meditation Art because that would mean he had to reveal the power of his own Meditation Art.

He pointed a single finger; using this gesture, he separated the Wind blades around him into two and simply pushed fifty million Wind blades towards her as his reply.

This level of power meant he could not control it, he could only direct it.

"At least ask for my name first,"

The girl clapped her hand and laughed as a massive lidless eye made from red flames appeared behind her.

It was at this moment that the Aura and the energy output they were emitting could no longer be held back by this cavern and it exploded open, revealing this battle to the world outside, which was different from the Black Tower that Andar had expected, but he has no time to reassess this change.

What he saw however made him anxious, a battle had happened here but it was over, and above him were massive debris as if a world had been shattered, but the strain of controlling a hundred million Wind blades was so great he knew he had to end this fight before he could check his surroundings.

The only witnesses who could accurately see what was happening between Andar and the girl were the Arch mages, as anyone else would just see two green suns and a massive flaming red eye.

A massive shockwave erupted from this area that was so loud, that it silenced what was happening all around for hundreds of miles, and before the shocked gaze of the spectators, fifty million Wind blades that resembled a bright-green sun slammed into the body of the girl.
