Chapter 1133: Vortex of Darkness, Final Slash
The abomination roared as Reign bounced on his feet. The spike from before had done some damage to him, with blood trickling down the side of his body from where he was hit, but the blood was soon gone as the light present on his right wing shone a bit brighter, healing his wound.

Reign could feel the fury of the abomination, the pain it was suffering from had to be immense, after all, he had cut and burned a portion of its face, its neck, as well as its chest previously, and now he had seriously injured its leg.
The abomination, which seemed like an impossible wall to overcome previously, was now vulnerable, and Reign was not going to allow it to recover. He was going to end this as quickly as possible, he was not planning on letting the battle continue for much longer.
Reign's wings spread wide as he hovered about a meter off the ground. He could feel the immense energy coursing through his body as his Nephilim form held strong, but he wasn't sure how much longer it would continue. The longer the battle lasted, the less of a chance he had to go and help his team take down another abomination and make the battle much easier.
Reign's eyes locked onto the large form of the abomination that was trying to steady itself, the impossibly high weight of the creature's body causing the ground beneath to crack and tremble. It was enraged by its wounds, but despite the rage, its movements had obviously slowed down as the injuries that Reign had caused managed to do a bit more damage than he thought.
The abomination's eyes glowed as it stared at Reign, the ground beneath it trembling more as it suddenly stomped on the ground with its injured leg, causing the ground some 250 meters around them to tremble and slightly cave in before bits of the soil and rocks started levitating.
"I see." Reign suddenly said with a smile on his face before shaking his head.
"I was wondering what exactly those spikes were and how you were able to control them like that, it turns out they were never a part of your body, they were just very durable and sharp rocks that you placed on, as well as in your body so that you can use them as weapons whenever you wish."
"And now, you are finally going all out, no longer holding back in the slightest." Reign said as his smile widened, a bloodthirsty aura present around him.
Reign burst forward, his wings propelling him with immense speed as he darted through the field of levitating rocks and strengthened chunks of soil that had turned black from the mana the monster had poured into them.
All the levitating chunks suddenly came crashing down at Reign, forcing him to constantly move around and dodge while doing his best to get closer to the abomination.
He could tank a couple of hits, that was not the problem, what was the problem, however, was the fact that if he got hit even once directly, he would be slowed down, or maybe even stopped for a moment, which would be enough for the other chunks to come crashing down on him, smashing his body into the ground.
Reign could survive that, he would be injured, but the wounds wouldn't be lethal. What was lethal, however, would be the fact that the abomination would make good use of that opportunity to start stomping or punching him while he was stuck in the ground.
Reign moved like a blur, darting around the area as the giant monster continued throwing down more and more things at him.
'Keep two occupied, yeah, I highly doubt I would have been able to do that.' Reign said inwardly as he thought back on how he believed he could potentially go up against 2 of the strongest abominations and hold them at bay, but now, upon witnessing the full power of this one abomination, he highly doubted he would have been able to last long against two of them.
Suddenly, darkness spread around Reign, a powerful vortex that annihilated the chunks that were falling down on him.
'It'll drain some mana, but this is the only way to get close to the monster quickly and take it down.' Reign thought as the vortex intensified as he charged forward.
The vortex was actually getting smaller and smaller, but that was making it more powerful as Reign was compressing the darkness, and making the vortex spin faster, annihilating the chunks the moment they came in contact with the vortex.
That was when it came to the earthen chunks, the rocks were more durable and could pierce through the vortex for a bit before being ground to dust, the dust itself soon being annihilated by the darkness as well, absorbed by it in some manner.
The good thing about the vortex was that it was actually absorbing some mana from the soil and rocks that the abomination had poured. It was not absorbing all of it, maybe about 20 – 30%, but it was still something and made it a bit easier for Reign to continue channeling the vortex.
And then, in a matter of moments, Reign appeared in front of the abomination once again, his body not visible inside the vortex as he slammed against the leg of the abomination, the vortex quickly going to work, destroying the plate that defended the leg, grinding it away.
He had only been able to destroy a bit of the plate and start wounding the leg when the abomination moved, moving the leg to the side, which at first confused Reign as it seemed as if it was just trying to make him damage a different part of the leg, but then he quickly moved as the abomination actually kicked with its other leg.
It was the wounded leg that it kicked with, it had put all of its weight on the good, healthy leg that Reign was now assaulting in order to kick Reign away, and even though it had not been able to do that, perhaps what happened was even worse for Reign.
He had dodged to the side but was caught by a part of the leg and pushed back with great force, his vortex softening the blow and damaging the leg a bit further before he suddenly slammed his back against the healthy leg of the abomination.
Reign gasped for a moment as the impact was quite powerful, his breath gone for an instant, but the result of the kick was also not good for the abomination as the vortex ground the plate of the healthy leg away and was now tearing apart its flesh.
The abomination roared as it suddenly jumped back and then fell on its behind, the damage done by Reign not immense, but fast and efficient, making it difficult for the monster to continue standing.
Reign gasped for air and stared at the monster with hatred before moving again, charging at it. The abomination was no longer launching the large chunks at him, they were levitating, but because of the pain, the abomination lost focus for an instant and needed a bit of time to regain that focus and once again control all the chunks.
With a burst of speed, Reign shot forward, the vortex gone as his swords glowed with a mixture of milky white light and pitch-black darkness. He was a blur as he jumped up, and the abomination quickly tried to swat him away, only for Reign to dodge with the help of his wings and then speed down, aiming at the head of the abomination.
The monster suddenly opened its mouth and fired another beam at Reign, but he had moved out of the way even before the beam was launched. The abomination stopped and glanced around, unable to find Reign, before it suddenly froze, its eyes constricting as it felt a powerful aura appear on its left side, right next to its neck, which had not been damaged from that side previously.
"Noticed me, huh?" Reign asked as he swung his swords forward with great strength.
"It's too late, you forgot to harden this part, you were too focused on healing and strengthening the other side of the neck." Reign said as two huge arcs of light and darkness struck the neck of the monster, cutting into it with what seemed to be great ease.
The abomination tried to turn its head, but it was too late, the two arcs had already cut deep inside the neck, making it very difficult for the monster to move the head.
But, the abomination wasn't giving up, it screamed with immense power, pouring its mana into the scream as a powerful shockwave blasted everything around it away, but Reign had thought even about such a possibility and was moving forward with his wings flapping with full force, keeping him in place.
He then suddenly pulled back his swords, causing a fountain of blood to come out of the neck before suddenly slashing once more, the two arcs seemingly fusing together for a moment.
