Divine Sword Azrael was Lucifer's primary weapon before Rudra defeated him.

The sword was pitch black in colour and was considered to be indestructible.

It once housed the seed of darkness within and as far as strength went, it was as strong as any other divine weapon, meaning that it was truly the best that the controlled universe had to offer.

While Max had seen swords being shattered and broken before, the advantage of owning a divine weapon was it's unparalleled durability as nobody in the history of the universe had ever seen a divine weapon shatter.

Of Course this was until Max crossed weapons with Hercules as azrael in his arms snapped like a glass sword when Hercules began his assault with his spear.

moves….. 3 moves was all that it took Hercules to shatter Max's sword as while Max parried the first overhead slash, deflected the second spear thrust, when Hercules swung his spear for a blunt force attack, Max's sword broke when he tried to block it, splintering into a dozen tiny pieces.

*Crash*

Max stared at the broken hilt of the sword in his hands and wondered if his divine weapon was a fake for breaking so easily?

*SHUA*magic

*SHUA*

Max had to dodge the perfect warrior's follow up thrusts as stranded now without a weapon, Max had no other option but to defend using his agility as he could no longer parry using a weapon.

" Great…. Just great" Max murmured to himself as his position in this fight went from bad to worse as surviving the next one hour fifty minutes seemed tougher than ever.

[ Blood Shield ]

[ Blood Chains ][ Blood Mist Explosion ]

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Max relied on his bloodline ability to fight against the perfect warrior, however, the moves he could muster using his bloodline ability proved to be nothing more than minor inconveniences for the perfect warrior who simply chose to ignore them entirely.

For the perfect warrior, being tied down by a blood chain felt no different from a normal human being tied down by a few strands of thread as when he moved, those chains snapped easily.

The same could be said for the shields that Max conjured as his spear pierced through them as if the shield was air and in the grand scheme of things it did not matter at all.

The blood mist explosion, while damaging the perfect warrior slightly, was still not enough for him to actively pay any attention to it as whatever small damage it inflicted, constant regeneration healed, making the whole process redundant.

On the other hand, Max had a really tough time dodging against the perfect warrior's assault as his mastery of the spear proved to be sublime and often managed to nick and scratch Max.

One small mistake and Max knew his head would fly as the battle between him and the perfect warrior approached its climax.

Every second that passed brought Max closer to his ultimate goal as for him this battle was now only a race against time with his sole focus being to survive till the end.

Over the next 105 minutes.

Max exhausted every trick in his book.lightsnovel

He used the power of the seed of creation to transform the entire arena around him into a pool of blood.

He used [ unstoppable assault ] and supplemented the stamina deficit in his body and kept manoeuvring as fast as possible.

He used small and big attacks to counterattack when necessary.

He got pierced and torn apart, only for his body to regenerate again and continue moving as for a nerve wrecking 105 minutes which felt like an eternity, Max managed to stay alive against the perfect warrior while slowly building back his divine energy reserve.

When the 106th minute hit, and the perfect warrior realised the urgency of the situation he found himself in, he finally got more daring and desperate as for the first time in this battle. He was forced to bet on an attack strategy that was less than optimal and opened him up for potential counterattacks.

*SHUA*

*SHUA*

He decreased the gap between himself and Max, trying to neutralise the slight speed advantage that Max held, even though it opened him up for a counterattack and unfortunately for him, that's exactly what happened as Max slipped around his spear thrust and managed to grab a hold of his neck.

[ Seed Of Destruction ]

Max used the power of the seed of destruction and reduced every other form of energy flowing through the perfect warrior's body back to its basic state of formless energy, destroying its shaped nature.

Just like the dog-fight the two had back in the controlled universe, Max desperately tried to destroy his HP, however, his destructive rate was nearly equal to the perfect warrior's regeneration rate, causing a very slight -25,000 damage every second.

*Slam*

*Slam*

The perfect warrior slammed his spear into Max's back from its blunt end as while he could not thrust the pointed end into Max's neck, he could still cause blunt force trauma from the blunt end of the spear while punching on Max's face using his free hand.

*BAM*

*SPLAT*

*BAM*

The perfect warrior hit Max's face from a point blank range with all the power that he could muster as spittle escaped Max's mouth left and right, however, despite the pain he did not let go.

'Just a little more…. I can do this' Max told himself as he could practically smell his victory at this point.

In less than 400 seconds from now, the perfect warrior's automatic protection expired and that gave Max the window he was aiming for since the start of this fight to devastated his HP pool.

Having come this close to the final goalpost, Max was now determined to see it through and although the perfect warrior beat the snot out of him, making Max feel dizzy and disoriented, through sheer willpower alone, Max did not let go of his neck as he prevented his opponent from conjuring any new moves.
