Chapter 398: 398

The counter mover from Ibro would take some time to show its results, and as he knew about this fact, he was so patient and didn't feel any pressure or worry. 

Ibro continued to use his strikes without stop, trying his best to direct them towards the incoming newly absorbed demon energy at the upper part of this huge fiend. 

The fiend, on the other hand, didn't stop harassing Ibro's protective spell with its needles, trying its best to drain Ibro's energy as the latter was draining its own. 

Time passed slowly as the two used most of their trump cards and then placed their pieces over the board waiting for the end result. Who would have his energy depleted first? 

The answer revealed itself when the influx of demon energy was cut abruptly to less than one third of its original flow. When Ibro noticed this, he sighed as he muttered:

'Finally those dragons started to play their role from outside, so it's time for me to start my role from here.'

At this moment when his enemy was disturbed by his strategic strike from outside, Ibro took out so many runes and threw them high in the air. 

More than 2000 singularity black runes were thrown to the outside entering into this fiend's body. Ibro used his two huge swords to throw many of them as far as possible, while he ordered his system:

'Don't detonate them for now; let them absorb this fiend's energy first.'

The system replied while suggesting:

'These runes are a lot, so I believe they would deal a strong blow to this fiend. I'm afraid if you give it time, it might retaliate with a crazy move.'

Ibro thought silently about the system's worries. Indeed, his runes were so strong that he was sure they would deal a strong blow to this enemy, but they wouldn't be enough to deal a fatal hit to it. 

So he tried to postpone detonating them so that he could give them time to enlarge and cause more damage. 

His system's worries weren't groundless, especially when he didn't know anything about this enemy and his enemy knew a lot already about him. Ibro's hesitation didn't last long as his system said in a serious tone:

'Don't be too greedy, life isn't perfect, so is winning. You just need to use the slightest advantage you just created for yourself, if you lost it here, I wouldn't guarantee you will have it again. 

Go for it and detonate this bastard and then do whatever you can do to kill it. This is the best strategy for you.'

Ibro took a deep breath as he made up his mind, as his system said, it was better not to be too greedy or too careful or else he would lose.

'Detonate them all.'

'Release more runes, we need to be sure this fiend would be crippled at least after this devastating blow.'

Ibro listened to his system advice as he took out 3k runes from his storage ring and threw them all. He watched his runes spreading to different parts of the fiend at the same time he waited for his system to detonate them. 

Time passed slowly minute by minute as Ibro noticed that somehow the demon energy coming from the outside was increased again. As his system feared, this fiend must have a backhand already prepared against his intervention from outside. 

Ibro sighed, he hoped to give this fiend a deadly blow using this chance, but he couldn't. It was really difficult to battle a wicked enemy like this and wasn't feeling stressful all the time. 

Just less than five minutes from releasing all the runes everywhere, Ibro felt a faint tremble hitting the world around him without warning, followed by strange creepy domineering silence. 

This was the sign Ibro waited for, as it was the start of detonating all his runes. He loved this moment as he felt like he was invincible. That silence lasted for a couple of minutes, during which everything stood still as it was paying tribute to this mighty force.

'How can I use my strikes during my runes blast? I can't use my divine sense yet.'

'Why do you bother about your divine sense? You are surrounded by the fiend main body from everywhere; each strike you will launch will hit its target without miss.'

Ibro agreed to the system logic, so he prepared to launch his strikes when his runes blasted all at once to cover the whole world with bright blinding flashing light. Surprisingly, Ibro felt a huge flood of energy entering his body without warning, to say rapidly to the system:

'What happened?'

'Your runes are all made from ultimatum energy, so they didn't only hit this fiend, but they also purify its energy.'

Ibro didn't know if he should laugh or cry. His attack yielded marvelous results better than what he anticipated, but at the same time, he couldn't deal with all this energy that kept flooding his body.

'Store all these energy inside you and try to upgrade my pocket space worlds at the same time.'

''

Ibro then started to use his strikes like crazy. His goal shifted from trying to kill this fiend to trying to make the best use of this pure energy that was entering his body without limit. It was a great waste to let this energy dissipate especially when it was very hard to get it.

"You You are good, but your luck isn't that good yet to kill me. Do you think this is my real body? Although you did a great job killing my conscious wisp here, you can't actually hurt me even if this part of me died. Enjoy your short victory, as soon I will make you taste defeat once and for all."

This vicious sound echoed everywhere around Ibro, who felt more trembling around himself that exceeded that caused by his runes detonation. 

Ibro couldn't see anything under the effect of his runes, but he could feel there were many changes in the environment around him.

'Can you inspect the situation of this fiend?'

The system took some minutes to investigate then it replied:

'I couldn't sense any sign of life from the fiend's body we are at. I believe this fiend is dead, congratulations on your win, you earn it.'

Ibro didn't reply, or even feel happy for this win, as he felt a bad omen from that fiend's words. That was the first demon and fiend to die under his hands and didn't curse him, which was very weird. 

The other thing was that calmness and confidence this fiend was talking with, as if he was sure the result of this war was settled from the beginning and Ibro's loss was predetermined. 

A bad feeling rose strongly deep inside his soul, but he couldn't move right now to find any clue from this fiend's body, after all the blast of his runes hadn't yet finished.

It took 12 hours for his runes effects to finish, during which the flood of pure energy didn't stop for even a second. 

Ibro's worry and anxiety was increasing minute after minute, so he kept his silence all this time trying to dig deeper into his soul and figure out what caused him to have this omen.
