Chapter 1093: The Power of Time
In that situation of total despair, losing control of his own body, feeling as if something was taking possession of him, Vicente did the one thing he had sealed himself off from doing for years.
Shifting his energies to perform the last movements he could make before falling under the control of the owner of the previous voice, he scattered candles and salt in his surroundings, before cutting one of his fingers with his teeth, putting his blood into the mix.
"Hellish forces, help me rid this evil of the world!" His words echoed across the water, reaching the disappearing souls consumed by the light, but also the figure behind the phenomenon happening to Vicente.
That golden man, shrouded in light and an aura of absolute power, frowned as he changed his posture. Looking at the young man still in the underwater world, he saw a mist of darkness forming around the boy, sensing what was about to happen.
With an expression of displeasure, he moved, crossing the sky and the underwater space between them, attacking with a punch towards the young man.
His movement was lightning fast. Before the roar of his movement reached the ears of all living creatures up to a few dozen kilometers away, he appeared in front of Vicente, one of his fists coming close to the face of the helpless young man in front of him.
Ignoring the ones he had lost to Vicente’s movements, he whispered to his target, "You should have accepted peacefully. You’d have the glory of entering the next height and being used by an Entitled Deity like me, mortal!"
As he spoke, his fist continued to approach Vicente, with the young man feeling more and more of the restriction caused by his enemy.
Looking at the fist of this figure of unfathomable cultivation, Vicente felt as if it was shrinking in size, while the enemy’s fist grew stronger towards him.
For a moment, Vicente thought this was the end, feeling paralyzed in the face of a power far superior to his own.
As he felt the moment of terror, the surrounding space distorted, revealing traces of a place far away and different from the patch of sea he was standing on.
Vicente didn’t look at anything other than his enemy’s fist. But he heard the sound of carriage wheels approaching, while the footsteps of dogs grew louder, indicating the arrival of the summoning he had just performed.
Sensing that he had a chance, however slim, he opened his mouth in fury, shouting as he moved all his strength into the crystal in one of his hands, the item that had put him in this situation.
As he did so, a bolt of golden lightning fell from the sky, reaching the position where he and his enemy stood, for an instant causing a giant bolt of lightning to appear and cover his body.
A shield of golden lightning formed in front of Vicente an instant before the powerful opponent’s fist hit him.
A loud ’clang’ reverberated from the contact position, with Vicente paling severely, but his shield holding for an instant, before starting to crack.
Then, when the shield could take no more, it exploded, throwing Vicente to one side and the enemy to the other, as the water around them evaporated, churning up the sea.
Vicente felt the beating as he battled not to lose consciousness, flying through the sky again after leaving the water, but totally out of control of his own movement.
’Shit! I’m exhausted!’ he thought to himself as he tried to find the enemy.
At that moment, however, he saw a totally different figure emerge from the midst of the combat. Positioned in a war chariot, pulled by Hell dogs, from which darkness leaked in great volume, a man with white hair, golden eyes and wings, almost 3 meters tall, suddenly appeared.
Vicente looked at the figure, obviously not recognizing him at first, since the infernal envoy he had seen twice had a totally different appearance.
