Arthur's attack reached Elena within a split second, her red eyes widening in surprise over his incredible speed and his strong attack.

BOOOM!

Darkness engulfed Elena completely, as she felt the slicing power of his blade trying to cut through her entire body.

And it did!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"Ugh!"

"Hahahah! You're too weak, Reaper! Can't you even parry a single blow?!"

Arthur suddenly started to laugh as his slashing attacks slashed through Elena's entire body, pieces of her body flying away.

However, even as she went through some pain, Elena remained composed and calm.

And smiled.

"You've gotten awfully strong for no reason, you cheater…"

Suddenly, phantasmal energy surged from her body. Although Players could bleed and experience their bodies like any normal body, it was still well known that a Player's body was different than the rest of the NPCs, for example.

This meant that even when they lost limbs or pieces of their bodies, with a potion, everything would go back to normal. Hell, even with healing abilities, regeneration… and more.

If Arthur was fighting Elena IRL, perhaps things would be much more dangerous for her, and although his attacks were loaded with demonic energy.

They had yet to even reach her Soul.

Why?

Well…

FLUOSH!

"Wha…?!"

Suddenly, Arthur saw countless rivers of pale blue phantasmal energies surge from every piece of Elena's body, which quickly floated in midair, moving towards her.

Several pieces started reassembling back into her body, healing her instantly, however, her two arms flew towards Arthur from behind, the wounds overflowing with phantasmal flames, resembling ghostly arms holding two huge katanas.

One of them as her Black Obsidian Devil Reaper Blade, a special Legendary Grade Katana she had obtained from a rare drop of a late game Boss, the Great Oni King.

And the other was… the knife her mother had created for her IRL, which she had brought to the world of Arcadia through her mother's inventory ability!

"You're…! What sort of ability is this?! I can't kill you?!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Arthur was shocked to see that all those slashing attacks seemed to deal no damage to DarkReaper.

However, he was far from the truth, this was a special Divine Fusion Skill she had obtained by combining several abilities.

[Divine Ghostly Sword Demon Embodiment]!

And much like these Skills, it had certain amount of duration, cooldown, and also a great MP Cost.

It wasn't all for free.

But right now, Elena couldn't ask for anything better.

"{Graveyard of Swords}"

Her powerful IRL knife glowed brightly, its katana form, resembling a black and red sword composed of shadows and phantasmal flames, exuded a powerful magical domain.

FLUOSH!

"Huh?! What is this ability?! You never had this before! Is this a Fusion Skill?!"

"No, I'm cheating too."

Elena smiled as her two arms moved towards Arthur at the same time as the dark and phantasmal domain was conjured, in a second, Arthur and Elena found themselves within a confined space.

A Domain!

Any magic spell, physique ability, and even magical items made IRL could be brought to the game world and vice versa thanks to her mother's abilities.

This meant that Elena could also cheat with the insane abilities her powerful knife possessed.

"Swords…? What is this?!"

Arthur had knowledge of what Domains were, even though if he continued growing stronger, he might have eventually found his own Domain ability.

He found himself surrounded by countless old-looking, rusty swords incrusted into the ground, standing above a dark hill, beneath the night sky and with a silver-colored full moon above, faintly illuminating everything it its moonlight.

"Don't distract yourself."

Suddenly, all the swords began moving, floating, possessed by phantasmal auras, and flying towards Arthur. He quickly began blocking them as they came, but they approached from every angle possible.

Until eventually, they started slashing and piercing through his armor, hitting his tender flesh beneath, all while Elena attacked him with powerful Phantom Aura Swords and Beginner Sword Ki Auras combined together, and also while her two floating arms unleashed techniques of their own.

"I'll show you what a true storm of attacks is!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Each slash cut through Arthur's defenses, his parrying blows and his fast attacks meant nothing when there were a dozen attacks coming from every angle possible.

"D-Dammit! You're cheating…!"

Arthur started to despair again, as he realized he was bleeding, his armor shattered faster than it could regenerate, and even his blade was growing weaker.

He couldn't believe it!

He had obtained such tremendous power, but he was going to lose again?!

Unbelievable!

His rage, frustration, hatred, and everything else pent up inside of him came out with a loud, deafening scream, with a voice that seemed more demonic than human.

"THIS IS UNFAIR, REAPERRRR!"

With a furious scream, Arthur's sword grew larger, he spun horizontally and unleashed a slashing wave of pure demonic darkness everywhere, destroying all swords within his vicinity and then breaking her Domain.

SLAAASH!

Crack, crack…!

CRACK!

"W-Wha…?!"

Elena gasped as she quickly reattached her arms and slashed the empty air, creating a veil of void to protect herself from a huge explosion.

BOOOM!

"Ugh…!"

As the smoke dissipated, Elena's phantasmal body allowed her to see what was happening, Arthur's body had grown strange, his wounds were fusing with his black armor, and his sword had gained black tentacles and vein-like fleshy growths, piercing his arm, covering it with red eyes.

"Arthur, where did you get this thing?!" Elena asked, she seemed shocked with what she saw, she had never seen something like this aside from demons themselves.. "It's a parasite, you're going to die if you keep with it!"

"Die? It doesn't matter, I've died so much already in this damn fucking game… Screw it, screw everything and everyone! With this power I get to be the monster I always wanted to be…!" Arthur laughed, his monstrous, black-colored mutated arm rose into the skies, and then swung down his gigantic sword. "DIEEEE!"

SLAAASH!

A giant wave of pure darkness and demonic energy rushed towards Elena.

She knew she couldn't evade it, or everything behind her would be destroyed.

"I have to block that… No matter what!"

Her two Katanas overflowed with her powers, as her Energies combined together.

"{Abyssal Void Blade… Fifth Form}"

Her Darkness, Phantasmal Energies, and then Void converged as one.

"{Blade of Nothingness}"
