Will of chaos

Chapter 1211 Cap 1209: Natasha's Serious Mode

It's been 3 weeks since I've been fighting my sister continuously, after learning to control my body completely using my ability continuously to avoid the impediment that broken bones and torn muscles could have during combat, I also realized that the lack of energy would be a huge debilitating factor.

To fix this I had to find ways to regain my energy while also trying to reduce my energy consumption, which was something I had always overlooked, but now the answer was something very simple.

I possess the three natural energies which are Mana, Ki, and Spiritual Energy since my first year of life, I also possess Demonic Energy and Holy Energy which I acquired later for different reasons, of all these forms of energy the last two were more powerful and also with longer recovery time, this made me resort to using the 3 natural energies, interspersing them when using one at a time, so while I use one in combat, the others can be replenished naturally.

This worked better than I expected, but it was also a heavy restriction for me, eliminating one of my advantages against my sister, the advantage of having more variety of attacks than her, so my attacks became more predictable for her than I did He has much more combat experience than I do.

Demonic and Holy Energies were the only variants I could afford to use, but even that was only at critical moments as I couldn't afford to be without these energies as triumph cards at key moments.

But just as I had advantages, I also had clear disadvantages like not being able to use my Authority, I could still feel that power within me, but it was fundamentally different and I wasn't taking the time to tap into that power now, in fact, I wasn't having it no time with each distraction taking a heavy toll with even the loss of my limbs or other parts of my body in a brutal way.

If I could meditate it would be perfect for increasing my energy recovery and healing, but it was impossible during combat, leaving only one possibility for me, something I wanted to avoid doing until I was unable to avoid it.

While I could only maintain hand-to-hand combat with my sister since she doesn't move away from me at any point, even though I'm now able to use my Aura after training with Caitlyn, I'm still not able to use it at 100% capacity, something that I have been working on with combat practice little by little.

Pov Elizabeth's:

I'm watching Natasha's fight against Zenos, and I can see her improvement in reacting to her attacks, her Aura also seems better than before, but even so, she's still using it in an unrefined and precise way.

"How is he doing?" (I)

"Reasonably well considering who you're fighting." (Yaramaki)

"What do you think about him?" (I)

"He is slow to learn, he has many advantages, things that should be instinctive for him to use, but he thinks too much, this is strange considering his identity among the Dragons." (Yaramaki)

"I know, he's not ignoring his instincts, he simply chooses to think instead of act, a flaw Caitlyn also had in the past." (I)

"That's different, Caitlyn thought a lot because she feared her own power, something she only overcame with the maturity that came over the centuries since no one could help her in that aspect." (Yaramaki)

"Zenos is different, I talked to my divided body and shared some of his memories, and with that, I came to the conclusion that his power growth was too fast for his mind or Soul to understand." (Yaramaki)

"Yes, our mother gave him the tools to accelerate his growth considering what's to come we couldn't afford to wait centuries." (I)

"Of course, his growth was faster than anticipated, but that was more due to his horrible luck throwing him into horrible situations making him struggle to survive at times." (I)

"From what I gathered from the memories of my split body, you tried to train it to overcome the weaknesses of its rapid growth, this was working until the event where it was brought here for me to heal." (Yaramaki)

"Yes, he managed to channel the power of many Gods by taking advantage of the Blessings he carried and mixing it with his Authority generating the emergence of a spark of raw Divine Power without the guidance of a Deity to limit its impact on reality." (I)

"I remember your mother doing something similar when she became a Goddess, the only difference being the lack of control over her own power, her case was similar to Caitlyn's, I think it's incredible how each of you three has one of the highlighted characteristics her at a certain point in her life." (Yaramaki)

I can't help but look at her before she became a Saint of Life, she herself was an Evil Goddess from a Universe that no longer exists, someone who chose to give up all her power long before I was born, one of the few existences older than my mother.

"Don't look at me like that, it'll make me embarrassed..." (Yaramaki)

Sigh

"This is not the time for jokes, a lot of things are happening right now and I need him to be ready, if things continue like this..." (I)

"No need to worry, he's slow, but he's progressing unhindered, the pressure of facing Natasha is doing him good." (Yaramaki)

"But do you think he'll make it..." (I)

"Yes, the only question is what he will focus on, his Soul carries many aspects that originated from him and other events in his life, but only one of these Aspects can be on top integrating the others as part of himself, I have only known a being who managed to do such a thing in the past." (Yaramaki)

"..." (I)

I tried to think about what she was saying, the reason for seeking her advice comes from knowing her wisdom and vast life experience, but what she is talking about now is knowledge that I don't possess no matter how much I search my memory.

"Don't think too much, just do things her way as always, whether he succeeds or not depends solely on him." (Yaramaki)

"That's if he survives now that his sister has chosen to stop retaining her power." (Yaramaki)

"..." (I)

I turn my face towards combat once again as I feel power radiating from Natasha's body as her body changes.

"I didn't expect that Natasha would seriously go against him, it seems like she wants to vent all the anger she felt for him doing that." (I)

---------------

Pov Zenos:

The combat lasted weeks, my body was mistreated to the point of being almost unrecognizable, she beats me in terms of experience and technique, leaving only more primitive forms of advantages where I am better such as the defense of my body, my strength, and my flexibility since I can control my body with my ability completely disregarding basic physical limitations such as joints.

After weeks I knew that if things continued like this my body would collapse sooner or later, even though I was now able to land blows on her, none of those blows caused serious damage to her body, in fact, it was useless as she it could heal itself in seconds at the latest.

So for the last 5 days, I have been trying to use a skill that I was trying to avoid, since I woke up in the Communal Temple my body was more than just strange, I could feel the limitations of my body that I only understood after the first day training with Natasha, one of these limitations was the inability to assume my Dragon form, something I tried on the first day and it was useless to the point that my body had a reaction trying to activate this ability, the reaction was my muscles corrupting throughout my body.

Now I could feel that my body was different from weeks ago, but I didn't have time to think about these things, it was difficult to think about things too much when there was someone trying to risk their head inches away, so today in an attempt to reverse this situation I tried to use this ability partially on the arm, which is still normal since the other is still made of crystallized blood.

"< Blood Eclipse Dragon Awakening: 10% >" (I)

I took advantage of the moment one of his attacks that I defended at the cost of the arm made of crystallized blood being destroyed for the thousandth time, then I used my other arm for a partial transformation concentrated only on him, this caused my arm to tear into pieces while a new arm it grew from inside it twice the size of my normal arm, as it was already in attack movement and had a greater reach now, I ignored the pain and using my claws I tore off the flesh on one side of Natasha's face as well as her shoulder being seriously injured to the point where his arm was left hanging for the first time.

But I wasn't happy, that's because she was no longer fighting, her eyes no longer showed anger, and they were now filled with emotion as a macabre smile formed on what was left of her rapidly healing face, this while using flesh and blood that I ripped from her to eat, her blood being the final elixir of healing made my body in pieces heal quickly.

"< Blood Dragon Awakening: 100% >" (Natasha)

Those few seconds where she finally stopped attacking me were crucial and I wanted to run, but her Aura and power seemed to grow hindering my movements long enough to hear her voice while realizing that the real hell was about to begin as power exploded from her rapidly changing body.

"I'm so fucked up..." (I)
