Stillforce Odyssey

The demon of dread stopped within a forgotten landscape which stretched further and further away into nothingness.

Almost as if, this barren and sandy land was created without an ounce of imagination added to it which made it's creation to be filled with boundless loopholes.

Aaron felt himself land upon another plane of existence.

The demon of dread stared at him with curiosity filled in his starlit eyes and said.

‹To be fair, I won't use highly destructive skills.›

‹I won't also move from my current position while attacking.›

‹I will also use skills so that you can be privileged to snatch them. But that depends on how fast you act!›

‹I will do as much as, temporarily return myself to level 3›

Aaron's eyes suddenly lit up at that statement.

‹But... I won't hold back with my attacks! You should pray to get a better fate.›

Aaron immediately said:

"And I guess It also depends on who takes the winning lead!"

Activating all of his skills, Aaron stared at the divine deity who transformed into a human form, leaving behind his abstract nature.

And as promised, the demon of dread did not move. Neither did he use his most destructive skills.

But, the most common among his skills caused the fabric of reality to break in front of Aaron.

Aaron retreated a few steps with his face pale.

This showed the difference between those still struggling within the leveling aspect of power and those whom had ascended and transcended levels.

The divine deity contained with Aaron like it was a walk in the park.

To the demon of dread, Aaron is merely a little child who has nothing but few experience on certain things. And that is what the demon used to his advantage.

‹Face the wrath of Heavenless Slash!›

Aaron suddenly saw a massive tear within reality. The tear appeared, formed and converged to meet the cosmos and then, started to descend upon him in a blinding speed.

[Do you want to snatch the deity's Skill, Heavenless Slash?]

Aaron manipulated space and used the void as his focal escape point.

'Snatch skill.'

[Extraction process in progress...]

The slash whipped down ominously and cracks marred the ground causing it's split.

And Aaron's eyes bulged out as the same time, unable to escape the danger from the Heavenless Slash!

[Extraction process, Cancelled! Mimick skill again]

He did not succeed in snatching the deity's skill and Aaron suddenly realized the reason the demon of dread had used that statement.

‹Weak, pathetic! You don't deserve to become the snatcher. ›

The demon of dread was trying to rile him up to anger but, regardless of whether he was riled up or not, Aaron had been furious even at the start of the fight.

He did not even see the duel going anywhere. Plus, he saw himself losing woefully.

"I can't loose! I can't loose to destiny. I can't loose to the demon of fate. I can't loose to him!"

(Absolute Defense, Activated)

(Songs of Grief, Activated)

(Flipping the Sky, Activated)

(Skyrocketing Power, Activated)

(Divine sword summon, Activated)

All of these except the last was SSS Tier skills. Divine sword summon is only an SS Tier skill and immediately, Aaron's stats doubled, tripled and quadrupled at several activation.

The space warped and distorted and the sky glitched as if commanded to instability.

"Flipping the Sky!"

Aaron screamed and the entire world of nothingness flipped over.

The demon of dread saw himself standing upon the sky while he faced the ground.

And then, the ground level which overlooked them, started to descend upon the demon of dread and the feeling of a terrifying power filled the air.

But of course, Aaron's Stillforce energy was sacrificed for such power.
