Titan Rising Online: World Breaker

Chapter 494 494: Counter

For a moment everything paused, a perfect second where all the forces of nature stilled in absolute silence to usher in the very next step of a disaster that could only be described as symphonic destruction. Cole had created a Black Hole, again. But this time, it was a lot more powerful and a lot more dangerous.

The rings spun, drinking in energy from both nature, Cole and the zombies he had trapped. The gravity first increased to insane levels, getting powerful enough to even smash many of the zombies to pull, before polarity was reversed and everything on the ground began to slowly float up.

Cole had absolute lock down over his domain, at this point there was no way Azrael could sneak attack Cole and this was because even for Cole, under the birth of this black hole, all he could do was remain standing in one place and try his hardest not to get moved. Cole watched Impassively as at first small debris, wrappers, clothes that started floating into the Black Hole. And then the suction force got stronger.

It went up in strength by the second, locking down the areas and still ravaging it with storms . By the 20th second, every Zombie within the vicinity, even a significant part of the lake was being dragged up, and funneled into the now swirling maelstrom of gravity and cosmic energy.

Soon the artificial trees planted around the lake were uprooted, the lake houses around and the shack that he had been thrown into were lifted right out of their foundations, joining thousands of not millions of debris, inclusive of full zombies and ripped body parts. Everything was fed into the black hole as they were crushed into an infinite nothingness.

This pace of using the [Gravity Rings] technique was and is incredibly tense and expensive for Cole in the form of energy. When he noticed that his surplus of energy had dried up, especially with some of not most of them having been dragged up into a Black Hole and crushed. He let go of the [Gravity Rings] technique as the Black Hole imploded on itself.

*Boom!*

The shockwave was powerful enough to raise Cole of his feet and throw him backwards, way past the shores of the lake, and back into the next part of the suburban. This part of town has rolling hills with small mansions all on them, as he was blasted out the side of a fence and deposited right in the middle of a street.

Shadowy jaws rose up our of the air to clamp down around his chest as a Black Scythe materialized and fell down on Cole splitting him down to the middle. Cole turned to the side as soon as the vision faded, but not before his own vision swam with vertigo and dizziness as he stumbled to the side, barely escaping the attack and vomited a mouthful of black Blood.

[You Have Been Afflicted With A Shadow Rot Poison!]

Cole chuckled as he swung his sword hard to the left, his blade meeting with Azrael' in a shower of sparks, as the much faster opponent moved to the side and smashed his knee into Cole's side, causing him to double over in pain, but still use that momentum to role forwards and avoid getting a life stabbed into back of his head.

Azrael had been able to poison him from when he had first attacked Cole and had been unable to stab his heart. Cole wondered if he wouldn't already be dead by now had that knife actually stabbed into his heart. He could feel his constitution trying to fight back the infection, it was loosing of course, whatever this poison skill was, right now it was beating Cole's own regeneration and using a form of poisoning that was one of Cole's MO.

Rot, Cole knew exactly what was going on in his body right now. His insides were liquefying and rotting at a rather rapid pace. Because of the rot, even his own body would become a poison unto itself. However Cole had faith in his own body and abilities, he just had to survive long enough for his body to analyze it's enemy and build up a defense. The next time Azrael attacks, Cole would be able to withstand, but that is if he could survive the assassin, and right now Cole was stuck.

[Gravity Rings]

Was quickly used to create a barrier around Cole's body as he tried to get his balance back. The barrier was raised just in time as Azrael appeared in a trail of shadows, attacking from different angles, as Cole attempted to expand the rings and lock down the area again, limiting Azrael's ability to move has always been the way to stop him, Cole had to take it to the extreme. And limit Azrael's movement if not eliminate completely.

The first ring went into the air. *Boom!* Azrael' stomped his foot on the ground, creating a powerful explosion of shadow energy that smashed into Cole, with how own shadow even attacking him as he was smashed from every corner, the sounds of bones breaking in his body heard as Cole turned to the side and vomited a sizable amount of black blood with a foul smell.

His ears were ringing and he almost had no idea where he was. Cole shook his head to get the cobwebs out as he summoned Seraphim Out quickly and had the tiny angel robot to hover around him, techniques primed and at the ready. Things just took a worse turn for Cole in this fight, and this was because Azrael' had figured out a way to counter Cole's [Gravity Rings] technique and stop him from using it to lockdown an area, now he was more than ever at the mercy of his assassin.

"You will not be able to restrict me, you might have more versatility with your skills and be the perfect counter to my style of combat, but how I have counters for everything you have come up with since you've been stuck in here with me. Lay down your head Night, lay it down and Die!"
