Whoosh!

Like a meteor falling from the sky, Basil brought Charles down; they were descending so fast, they split the air. Charles was even forced to protect himself with a Barrier to prevent the heat that was produced by the friction from hurting him.

The heat was, of course, his least concern. With his hands clutching on Durendal and Caliburn's blade, he was tirelessly pouring his Mana into them, so the swords didn't go any deeper than they already were.

He was also disrupting the Mana flow in the swords, so Basil couldn't burst forth the Mana in them. If he ever let the that happened, he would have to say goodbye to his life.

Spurt!

"Huh?"

When Charles saw blood pouring down Basil's hand, he was confused. When he realized where the blood came from however, he immediately laughed gleefully.

"Kuhahaha! You can't bear that power infinitely, can you? The longer you fight me, the more you ruin your body!" He grinned viciously. "Ku-ku-ku... Look at the blood seeping out through your pores—not even my injury is that severe."

"We shall see, Charles, who will still have the right to stay in this world by the end of our fight," was Basil's calm reply.

In the next moment, his blood glowed in gold, and returned to his body. This process bewildered Charles so much, he could only stare at it absurdly.

"Phoenix Core Essence? How in the Akasha's knowledge did you get it?!" Of course, he knew what had happened, which was why he became even more bewildered.

Basil didn't pay any mind to Charles' bewilderment as they were already close to reaching the ground. He wanted to give Charles extra damage from the fall, so he was focusing on increasing the momentum of the fall.

BOOM!

When they reached the ground, they immediately made a 135 meters deep and 1.7 kilometers wide crater in it. Due to the impact, the ground that didn't manage to cave in cracked severely.

The snow on the ground was kicked up to the air, covering the unfolding scene in the centre of the crater. The shockwave of the impact was still sweeping the ground, blasting those standing in its way.

When the air cleared up and the shockwave disappeared, the unfolding scene in the centre of the crater could finally be seen.

Basil was still trying to burst forth the Mana Durendal and Caliburn contained, meanwhile Charles was busy healing his broken spine.

Wooong!

Mana with two different natures overwhelmed the air. One was of the overwhelming and chaotic nature, whereas the other was of the overwhelming but serene nature.

Both of the Mana were profound enough to be incomprehensible for a normal person. Their pressure was so terrifying, they instilled instinctive fear towards those who felt them.

Sizzle!

"Look at the snow, Pacifer. The only thing you can do is to boil them with your Mana Pressure!"

"Ugh... It's annoying fighting with this klazomaniac," Asia remarked through Basil's mouth.

Basil didn't give any comment; he merely pushed his Mana even more violently, so it could overwhelm Charles. It worked as he could see that Durendal managed to widen the cut on Charles' chest.

He would also like to further widen the cut in Charles' abdomen so he could expose Charles' viscera; alas, he didn't have anymore sword to do it.

He could only watch as the abdomen slowly closed due to the Recovery Magic Charles was using. Needless to say, it was something that Charles had learnt from the remnants of Bahamut's consciousness.

"Tsk... This can't keep going on!"

Charles was eventually tired of the situation. He didn't like looking so helpless in front of someone whom he thought he could defeat easily, so he stopped playing safe and chose to risk it all.

Overwhelming his blood with Draconic Mana, he pumped it through his entire body with his Dragon Heart. He instantly felt his insides burning—it was extremely painful—however he could immediately feel the positive change.

He could gradually pull Basil's swords out of his chest. His injuries healed faster than before; even the cut that Durendal and Caliburn had caused on his chest was healing at a visible rate.

This turn of event, of course, didn't amuse Basil in the least bit. Despite so, he still looked calm, and made a great decision by taking a distance away from Charles.

Boom!

As soon as he did, a lightning bolt struck the place he had been standing on. He could have, of course, taken it head on and survived; however, there would've been a few seconds of him being unable to move, which was why he had chosen to dodge.

For Charles, after all, a few seconds was enough to do many things to him.

Flash!

"Not so bold anymore, aren't we?" Charles sneered as he teleported in front of Basil.

Uncaring to Charles' provocation, Basil discharged a Mana Blade out of Durendal and sent it to the right. In less than a second, it cut a gigantic earthen spike that was coming at him to pieces.

Charles smirked at that and swung his hand down; his seven Grand Circles blared loudly as they shone intensely. In the next moment, thousands of thick ice needles were pouring down the sky.

They were directly heading towards Basil. The pressure they were exuding was enough to make him conclude that one of them was enough to pierce the Barrier of a Fifth Circle Mage.

Fortunately, Basil wasn't just any Fifth Circle Mage. Encapsulating his body with the strongest Barrier he could erect with the help of Asia's power, he charged at Charles, uncaring to the ice needles.

"Tsk! Tenacious, isn't he?"

Seeing that Basil was unfazed, Charles couldn't help clicking his tongue. He immediately covered himself in an ice armour that was strong enough to hold off a High Grade Spell that was cast by a Seventh Circle Mage.

Slash!

Shatter!

Rushing through the rain of destructive ice needles, Basil cut those that were coming directly to his face. The ice needles, after all, weren't descending vertically, but diagonally at him; so such instance happened quite often.

As for the other the ice needles, he didn't bother to cut them. He had his trusty Barrier already—all of them immediately disintegrated the moment they touched his Barrier.

Zzzz!

As Basil felt quite a strong electric current in the air, he could see Charles wielding a lightning sword in his hand. Charles looked ready to fight him with that, and it made him wonder why Charles was so obsessed with lightning sword.

Lightning, after all, didn't possess as much threat to him as the other Elements did. Still, who was he to judge? He couldn't bother to preach his enemy on his stupidity; he merely thanked the fact that his enemy was stupid.

Zap!

Screech!

"Hmm... Your swords hold off electricity well," Charles remarked as he blocked Durendal and Caliburn. "If not for the fact that they don't melt under the heat of my lightning, I would have already thought they were insulators."

"A man talketh more when he knoweth his end is closing," Basil stated calmly.

"Bollocks!"

A lightning bolt came striking at Basil immediately after Charles' exclamation. Basil diverted it to the ground by merely swinging Caliburn to the left.

Boom!

Stomping the ground afterwards, Basil sent a gigantic ice spike at Charles. Charles disintegrated it with his lightning sword, and paid Basil back with a gigantic, melting earthen sphere.

,m "He doth like calling things from the sky," Basil jokingly remarked. The rain of ice needles, after all, wasn't finished yet, but Charles was already sending a meteor from the sky at him.

Holding Durendal and Caliburn adjacent to each other, he made a half sweeping motion as he infused the ground with his Mana. He then swung them upwards, and a pair of gigantic hands emerged from the ground to catch the brightly burning meteor.

Boom!

Quick casting [Thunderclap], Basil appeared beside Charles. Charles greeted him with a powerful lightning strike, and he had to unfortunately take it head on due to how quick it descended on him.

Buzz!

[Husband!]

"Die, you bastard!"

Basil was momentarily stunned, giving Charles a chance to attack him. Sending a gigantic ice needle with a very pointy tip at Basil, he managed to break Basil's Barrier with it.

Crack!

The gigantic ice needle was immediately shattered as soon as Basil regained his control over his body. It still managed, however, to puncture a hole in his abdomen despite it being protected by his True Light Magic armour.

The Phoenix Essence immediately healed it up, however thanks to his destroyed Barrier, the ice needles that were still falling from the sky could cut him in several places.

His cheeks, shoulders, and thighs—the parts that were cut immediately froze. If not for the fact that he had the Phoenix Essence, he would have already been frozen stiff due to how quick the ice spread through his entire body.

Boom!

Kicking the ground when all of the injuries were healed, Basil infused all of the Mana he had into Durendal and Caliburn much to Asia's shock. He was going to end the fight with this one attack, which could possibly end up crippling his body.

"Hahaha! The boy has come to end his future!" Charles exclaimed.

Due to Basil's excessive usage of Phoenix Essence, it was already thinning. He would only need to sustain one fatal injury and let it heal his injury to completely use it up.

Even at this moment, he was actively using the Phoenix Essence to heal the internal injuries that he attained from hosting Asia's soul. Due to these reasons, he decided to risk it all, and end the fight in one attack.

"[Light of Glory]!" As one of the finest Arts one could perform with Caliburn was utilized, it shone brightly in gold. "[Continent Splitter]!" Accompanying it was one of the strongest Sword Techniques Basil had created.

Feeling the immensely overwhelming pressure, Charles widened his eyes. "This is...! How could a mere Fifth Circle Mage control such an absurd power?!"

Covering himself with hundreds of layers of Barrier, Charles forfeited the idea of fighting Basil's attack with his own attack. He knew he would never be able to match it, thus why he decided to focus on defending himself.

BOOM!

Durendal was swung down first. It split the air, creating a vacuum in it, and carved an extremely deep and long trench in the ground; it almost separated a part of Northern Mountain Region from the rest of the continent.

SWISH!

Caliburn came down in less than a millisecond after. It immediately illuminated the whole world with golden light.

No eardrums rupturing sound was produced, however all of the high grounds and the mountains that were in Basil and Charles' vicinity were disintegrated.

As the target of these two extremely destructive attacks, Charles could only grit his teeth in disbelief and fear. For the first time in his life, he was experiencing a life threatening event, and he didn't know what to do.

'Can I survive? Will I be able to pull through this?' His thoughts raced, thinking of ways he could use to survive. 'No... This is the end.'

He reached a conclusion not long after, but he was unwilling to lose just like that. 'A parting gift he shall receive from me!'

Shatter!

As the layers of Barrier protecting him disintegrated, Charles did his best to locate Basil. When he found Basil, he burst the Mana in his feet as he cast advanced [Thunderclap].

Boom!

He shot towards Basil, destroying his feet in the process. Basil's Art and Sword Technique that were still taking effect were rapidly destroying his body as soon as he shot forward.

His body became more and more indescribable the closer he got to Basil, but even so, his hand that was the only distinct part about him eventually reached Basil.

[Dormant Destruction]!

A faint whisper could be heard in the air; and Basil, while clutching his chest, couldn't help widening his eyes in shock. As soon as he disappeared from the world, the evil genius of Braxtein Kingdom, Charles Blois gave Basil a Dragon Curse as a parting gift.
