Chapter 867 Souta Vs. Nightmare King

Souta scanned everything around him with his energy. It made the entire space vibrate. His energy was too strong.

"It's here."

Souta raised his hand and ripped the space in front of him. He then took a step forward.

Swoosh!!

He arrived at a huge grassy land.

'By the way, Souta, what are you doing here?' Saya asked.

"Didn't I tell you? Well, one thing led to another. Simply put I took a mission from Athen's Champion." Souta said as he shrugged his shoulder.

"For now, I should finish what I need to do here."

He spread his energy once again and it made the whole land tremble.

This land has living beings and they felt the pressure that made the whole space vibrate.

Boom!!

The nearest palace worlds started to collapse. It caused a crack in the space, indicating that a palace had exploded. Souta was like a god in this world that could literally erase anything that he wanted.

"The Ultima Realm is trembling...?!"

"W-what is this energy?!"

"It's too strong!!"

The living beings of this boundary were scared. They had no idea what was happening.

Ultima Realm was the highest world in this boundary. From the point of view of the living beings here, this was the world of gods. The palaces or what they called lower realms started to collapse one by one.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of people had died.

'Something is wrong with the people here?' Saya's voice sounded in Souta's head.

Souta nodded. He continued to release his energy and the casualties reached millions of people. He didn't even bat an eye even though a lot of living beings had perished under his hands.

Suddenly, the whole world turned into darkness. In the next second, the space in front of Souta cracked open and a figure coated in darkness stepped out of it.

"Who are you? Have you realized what you have done? You killed millions of people..."

The voice was filled with rage. The figure didn't immediately attack since it know that Souta possessed a power that could potentially rival itself.

Souta stared at this unknown figure and smiled. "I'm a kind person. So if you give me the [Nightmare Mask] and the two books called [Void Entanglement] and [Void Shrouding] I will leave this place."

The figure frowned upon hearing Souta's words. "You! How do you know about that? And who are you? I don't understand where you came from since..."

Souta smiled, "Since what? Since you've controlled all the living beings here, am I right? You're wondering why a person like me isn't under your control?"

He already experienced this in the game. The figure covered in darkness was called Nightmare King. He was the sole ruler of this boundary and all living beings have been assimilated by him. The reason was he didn't want anyone to rise up and challenge him for the position of the overlord.

In short, all the people here didn't have an idea that their lives were already part of the Nightmare King the moment they were born. Nightmare King grew so powerful to the point that he became a god of this boundary by simply taking half of the power of all living beings.

He enjoyed his position. For hundreds of years, he controlled this world as if he was playing games.

So their lives were connected to Nightmare King and they were also one of the sources of Nightmare King's power. Through that power, he managed to manipulate the laws and concepts of this boundary.

"Who the hell are you?! Tell me, how do you escape from my control?! If not, then I'm going to force the answer out of your mouth!" Nightmare King said with a hint of anger in his tone.

His aura soared and the whole land started to shake heavily. It slowly pushed Souta's energy away.

Souta still had that smile on his face. "Since I'm a kind person, I'll give you a time to think about your decision. After all, I don't want to kill any more people."

"A kind person? You... Don't make me laugh, you didn't even flinch when you killed all those people!!" Nightmare King raised his voice..com

"Well, you see... I'm that kind of person. I get angry when my people got hurt and I didn't even care when the same thing happen to strangers. I'm a monster with a little bit of kindness so if you don't want to give what I want then..." Souta smiled coldly. He raised his hand and darkness swept out.

"You're a hypocrite!! Don't ever think that you'll match a god!!" Nightmare King roared.

The darkness that Souta threw didn't harm Nightmare King. It didn't have any effect at all.

"Well, it's nothing new. I will not be kind to you anymore." Souta threw several spheres of darkness.

Swoosh!!

Nightmare King was unfazed. Souta's bombardment didn't hurt him at all. He coldly stared at Souta before saying, "I'm Nightmare King. I'm a personification of darkness so I can control all the shadows in this world. Darkness can't hurt me because I am darkness."

"Is that so? Then, try controlling this." Souta smiled before he raised his hand and opened his palm. A magic circle appeared beneath his feet.

[Dark Shooting Ray]!!

A black beam burst out of his palm and flew toward Nightmare King at incredibly high speed.

Boom!!

A loud explosion occurred and the shockwave swept out everything within hundreds of kilometers. The space was distorted and it took the lives of the people within the range of the attack.

The other people in this world started panicking. Two insanely powerful beings started fighting out of nowhere. They didn't have a place to hide since the tremors from the energy fluctuations enveloped everything within this world.

Cough!!

Nightmare King was on the floor. The darkness around his body had disappeared, revealing his features as a human.

He couldn't believe what just happened. That attack was a dark attribute so he should be able to control it.

Souta hovered in the air looking at the so-called "God" of this boundary.

"Let me give you a piece of advice. Your attribute is dark so naturally you can control darkness. I can control it too. That's when the combat arts and spells come in. They are created so that their attacks wouldn't be controlled by their opponents. If they aren't, people would simply conjure attacks based on their respective attributes. If the two had the same elements then it would lead to a battle who can control the element better. But it will not happen with the appearance of combat arts and spells."

If that would decide the battle then Souta wouldn't be able to defeat Alexander who had a higher elemental power than him. Well, there's also a factor of energy control. If Souta had perfect control of his energy then Alexander would have a hard time controlling the darkness that he could create.

But it wouldn't happen in spells and combat arts. There's no risk of his attacks being controlled by his enemies.

There's only one person that could do this in Souta's mind.

The man who was called Anti Mage. Well, Anti Mage wasn't really controlling the magic circle. Instead, he was disabling it to prevent anyone from using spells. He was analyzing magic circle and he had the ability to disrupt it.

"Well, that's your lesson. You shouldn't rely on one thing. Element power is good but it wouldn't make you invisible if that's the only thing you could do." Souta said as he slowly pulled the vajra sword out of its sheath.

Even Alexander had to master all sorts of skills aside from element power.

"It's already pretty good that you have reached Integration Stage in this world. You know, there are countless people that couldn't even reach that level." Souta said.

"You!! Don't mock me!! I'm gonna kill you!! Do you really think that controlling darkness is the only thing that I know?!" Nightmare King roared. His aura spread out and it continued to grow stronger. He charged forward as the endless darkness followed behind him.

"I thought that you would surrender since I've told you the difference in our skills but it seems you're quite foolish. I don't have any choice, do I?" Souta said as the smile on his face disappeared.

He doesn't want to kill Nightmare King since it would lead to the death of all the people in this realm. That's why Souta was taking it easy to show Nightmare King that he could still surrender. But it seems that this guy was too drunk from playing "God" in this puny boundary.

"I can only kill you. I gave you a time to surrender so don't blame me for what will happen next." Souta said coldly. He tightly gripped the handle of his sword before his energy burst out like a raging tide.

Boom!!

He directly activated Second Mode.

In an instant, he collided with Nightmare King's body.

Boom!!
