Chaos had found himself confronting a being of pure darkness thar had surged from the Outer Void, or well, in simpler terms, a combination of various fragments of the Forbidden One that had taken consciousness and recalled their past.
Using some strange power within the fragments it was composed of, the Forbidden One tried to entrap Chaos and his allies into a dream where he used his own memories as a way to trap them into this "reality", however, Chaos stepped through this "reality" and walked right through it, easily finding the culprit behind it.
The Forbidden One was surprised that someone as lesser as him was capable of walking through the nightmare he had formed out of his own memories, finding Chaos an aberrant being beyond him, who had somehow predated on his own fragments and fused them permanently into his own soul and body… therefore, it could be said that Chaos was becoming a better Forbidden One by slowly eating his pieces scattered across the Universe.
The Forbidden One, after realizing such a thing, quickly confronted Chaos, as the two began a fight right there, inside this mysterious temple that the giant frog had swallowed.
However, Chaos was concerned about Aruliel and Dura, the two girls had entered into the nightmare as well by accident, looking for him, and were affected by it, their souls felt weakened, and Chaos realized that their souls looked like they were chomped.The power of dreams and nightmares was scary, in this Universe, the magic that used such powers could not only put people into dream worlds, but in such state, these people's souls became vulnerable and could easily be absorbed by the caster.
The Forbidden One attempted to use his Nightmarish Black Smoke to induce a nightmare in everyone present, being able to easily corrupt and destroy their minds before eating their souls away, and perhaps attempting to use their corpses as new vessels afterwards.
The humanoid figure resembling a insect-like monster with a black-colored metallic carapace looked down on Chaos and his group, as Chaos quickly clashed against him.
CLAAASH!
Chaos had covered his entire body into the power of his Skills and Fragments, as he activated the [Black Exoskeleton of the Forbidden One] and fused it with the [Left Black Pincer of the Forbidden One] and [Right Black Pincer of the Forbidden One] alongside his armor-creating Skills, forming a full black and red armor over his body. Two enormous pincers made of his armor emerged behind his back, which he used as secondary limbs and strong weapons.
"Y-You dare use my own fragments against me?!" roared the Forbidden One. He was pissed off, feeling as if Chaos was rubbing it on his face.
"Yes, it is the most effective method I have." Said Chaos. He acknowledged the power of this fusion of fragments, if he didn't went all out from the beginning, he would regret it later!CLAAASH!
The Forbidden One tried to use a large black blade me made up out of his own void and dark elements, as he used it to clash against Chaos pincers, suddenly managing to slice them in half, and kicking Chaos away with his powerful insect-like legs!
BOOOM!!!
"C-Chaos!" cried Dura, looking at Chaos slowly stand up.
"Dura, don't fight this, stay away from this." said Chaos.
"B-But I want to help!" said Dura.
"You will only be a burden to me, grab Aruliel and walk away." Said Chaos. He was cold in this moment, but it was true, having to look over these two girls might be a hindrance.
"Very well!" said Dura, she gritted her teeth, and grabbed Aruliel.
"Aruliel! Are you feeling alright? What's happening to you?" asked Dura, holding Aruliel in her arms.
The Fallen Angel felt sickly, and a fever suddenly took over her, the fragments inside of her, unlike Chaos' fragments, had not been consumed and assimilated completely, although they had fused with her, it was more like an action of self-sustenance, now that they began to sense the presence of a larger accumulation of fragments, they began to react.
Their reaction began to slowly attempt to take over Aruliel's body and force her to move towards the accumulation of fragments of the Forbidden One. Aruliel was of course fighting, using her inner powers to suppress the fragments, causing her to feel sickly and suffering from a fever.
"Ugh… Aaahh… Agh!" cried Aruliel.
"Aruliel, hang in there!" said Dura.
Chaos noticed that Aruliel was in pain, and he easily guessed that it was because of the bastard in front of him. Because he didn't wanted to see his friend suffer anymore, he decided to finish this as fast as possible.
"I am going to eat you…" said Chaos.
Very simple words emerged out of his mouth, but these words carried an incredibly intimidating chaotic aura surging from his body, as his eyes flashed with bright crimson-red light.
The Forbidden One suddenly felt an intimidating presence coming from him, mostly made out of his own powers that were now going against him! The worst part was that no matter how hard he was trying to fight against this and trying to take over his own fragments again, there was always an invisible wall blocking him from taking them back.
"You… give me back my fragments!" he roared, as Chaos rushed towards him like a flash of red light, he quickly summoned a large blade composed of many Skills put together, and even multiple elements of magic, and intercepted the Forbidden One's black blade made of darkness and void elements!
CLAAAASH!
Shockwaves of distorted chaotic elements suddenly exploded everywhere, shaking the entire temple, the two began to quickly clash against one another, their blades intercepting each other constantly!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Chaos gritted his teeth, he was activating countless other skills to keep up with the amazing strength of the Forbidden One's body, even if made with mere fragments of his original body, he possessed a Fragment of his original soul, the Forbidden One's Ego! Due to this, its power was way higher than other accumulations of fragments that Chaos had fought before.
