When Luke returned to reality, his last word was like that. It took only one week to reach that level... truth to be told, he wanted to enhance it much more, but the weapon was starting to negate him. For whatever reason... maybe it was because he amassed so much energy in there, and the weapon obtained sentience. Since half of it was made of dark energy, half of it would negate his goal of destroying the monster.
"Regardless... I will have to make do with this," Luke said and then flew toward the enemy while he also summoned some shadow clones to some platforms he found along the way.
As Luke approached the enemy, he finally stopped feeling that ominous energy around. There was some miasma around, but it wasn’t enough to corrupt the whole dimension. The monster basically had devoured all the dark energy that it could. Despite that, its body didn’t change much. However, the eyes of the monster were no longer there. He looked like a very creepy Earth doll.
Luke ignored that and charged for attacking, but then invisible punches bombarded his entire body at the same time. Luke recognized that it was time magic... But that wasn’t something that the monster should be able to use there. Luke felt his body being crushed, but he didn’t fall unconscious despite that. The power he gained alongside the sword protected him...
"It is time for your last monologue, you creepy son of a bitch," Luke said.
The monster ignored Luke’s taunt and just fired a massive beam of energy. Luke dodged to the side, but then the creature kicked his ribs and sent him right to the beam of energy. There was no mistake... That thing truly was using time magic.
Regardless, Luke used his sword to block the attack, and Thanks to it, he wasn’t destroyed instantly. He began to be pushed down thanks to the attack, and before he could escape using space magic or something similar, the monster appeared behind him and fired the same beam of energy. A massive explosion happened, and Luke felt his body being destroyed almost completely... When he was about to lose consciousness, he felt some mana... It was the mana from his friends on Earth. He wasn’t supposed to sense that, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the reason why. That explosion opened multiple distortions in that dimension, and they all connected to the real universe. At the same time, Luke saw some of the miasma leaving that dimension through those fissures. However, Luke closed them using his own magic. He still could do that much, so he still could fight.
When Luke finished that, the monster suddenly appeared in front of him and began to punch him. The creature didn’t use any magic. Only its raw speed and that was enough to make it land hundreds of punches every second on his body. With every single hit, Luke’s flesh was completely destroyed as if the dark energy was now being used only to destroy. Still, he didn’t let go of his sword, and he used it to protect his heart and head. As such, the monster didn’t have the chance to deliver a critical blow. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Eventually, the monster stopped the punches and delivered a powerful kick to Luke’s stomach. After that, the creature raised its arms and created several massive spheres of energy. The monster began to fire those toward Luke like a machine gun, and he barely had time to use his sword to defend himself.
The spheres of energy collided against each other and made Luke suffer even more damage as they increased in size or exploded. He didn’t have time to breathe. He was just doing his best to survive... Even though he was absorbing some of the energy and sending it to the weapon, it wasn’t enough to make things change.
Luke began to lose consciousness, but then he would wake up soon after, thanks to his healing factor. Because of that, he never lost the strength in his arm and kept fighting the way he could. He lost count of how many times his body got destroyed and healed. He lost consciousness and woke up...
Eventually, Luke’s body stopped falling, and he hit the bottom of that dimension. He thought that such a place wouldn’t have something like that and would truly be endless, but if that were the case, then the dark energy would have never become so dense and powerful in the first place. The enemy’s attacks finally stopped, and then Luke finally had the chance to breathe and get up... He barely could do that, his body was a mess, and all the dark energy fired at him was finally slowing down his healing speed.
"You should stop this, it is useless," the monster said. "I have nearly infinite energy here, my own hatred fuels my strength and with all the dark energy I have amassed, I can recover energy in a few minutes to destroy galaxies. You don’t stand a chance."
"You sure like to talk," Luke said. "I am not interested in a predetermined future, I am only interested in one that I can shape with my own hands."
"Future, you say..." The monster said. "Look at your own body."
Luke thought that was just a trap, but that thing wasn’t the type that would do that, so he did that and checked his body. Thanks to the conversation, his body healed a bit, but now Luke’s entire body was emanating miasma...
"You used and and was bombarded by the dark energy for so long, that you are becoming like me," the monster said.
