Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 1014- Seraphim of Honor— [Barachiel] (11)

Jumeriuah was already having trouble fighting three subordinates of envy at once, imagine fighting four at once. The situation looked extremely dire for the first army commander of the Three Star Scripture.

Observing from the distance as if wanting to etch everything he saw in his memories, Simon couldn't help but widen his eyes everytime those peak forces collided.

Their battle was earth shaking, common sense destroying to say the least. However, the way they used their powers, their control and their unique abilities, every move they made was an eye opener for him.

Simon felt like the skills and magic he had been using up until now were barely scratching the surface, the tip of the iceberg to say. True power was far from some simple advanced magic or lost ancient tier skill. It was more profound and deep than he could have imagined.

Watching the fight of the strongest beings in this world, Simon couldn't help but feel his horizons widening.

"That said, what is this power?" He furrowed his brows looking at the unknown power the subordinates of Envy used.@@novelbin@@

[Edict]...

Just then he heard a voice out of nowhere. It was such a clear and familiar voice that he felt like he heard it before.

The voice was… instantly, realisation dawned on him. The second fragment of pride, the voice he heard was from the fragment.

"You… have recovered?" Simon questioned in his head.

Ever since having to forcefully awaken the power of the fragment in his deficient state in the sixth trial, the Second Fragment seemed to have gone into a sleep state where it was unknown when it would awaken.

The power contained within the Second Fragment that could even temper with the laws and save his life from that Sea of Destiny was not something of his power level should come across.

It was no wonder, the second fragment had gone into a sleep like state after that.

[The mystical energy is much more dense here than in the outside world or in your dungeon. Thanks to that, I was able to restore some of my energy] The second fragment replied.

"I see" Simon nodded. His mind then went back to the word the fragment uttered a couple of seconds ago...

"What do you mean by Edict? Do you know something about the power they are using?"

The fragment was silent for a while before uttering [It is the power of the Fragments of Envy]…

"…"

[Fragments of greater constellations like us possess the power to temper with the laws of the world itself. You can call it [Authority]. Each of the authorities is so powerful that it can manipulate even cause and effect. The power you used back then to sail through the Sea of Destiny was mine, the second [Authority], [[Stellar Eclipse]]

Simon was silent as if recollecting the memory from that time. The power he used back then, the words that his other self told, all of it flashed in his mind like an episode that happened just yesterday.

The power to sever the cause and effect momentarily… the [Authorty- Stellar Eclipse] was unfathomable. To think back then he was able to use such an incredible power. That said, the fact that the second fragment brought this matter up meant that…

[That's right, just like us— Fragments of Pride, the Fragments of Envy also possess their own laws tempering power. It is called the Edict. The power those people are using is the [Edict] of the greater constellation of Envy]

The second fragment explained.

So that was the case, no wonder their power suddenly skyrocketed to a whole new level. It was because they were using the [Edicts] from the Fragments of Envy.

"Hmm? How can they use the [Edicts] when they are not the Demon Lord of Envy?"

As someone who possessed the Fragments of Pride, it made sense that he could use it. The same went for the other Demon Lords. However, how could these people use it when they don't even possess the fragments?

[The powers of the fragments of the greater constellation are transferrable. As long as the possessor of the fragments is willing, they can bestow a portion of the fragments power to their subordinates]..

[As long as that subordinate has an affinity with that fragment, he or she can use the power without needing to possess the fragments. Of course, unlike the possessor of the fragments, they can only use a portion of the fragment's power]...

[In a way, it would be more accurate to say that they are only borrowing the power of the fragments. As this is a power you must attain in the future, you must know about it]…

Simon sighed, this was a lot of information to process. Powers that could temper with the laws of the universe, [Auhtorites], [Edicts]… to mention they can be even transferrable. It was really a lot to take in one go.

While he was in the midst of his own revelation, the battle continued.

.

"Enough!!"

Vincent shouted raising his hands towards the sky. At that moment, his entire body released a brilliant silver light that was so luminescent that it was blinding. The brilliant silver light raced through the sky creating an ancient, extremely complex formation in the sky.

The next second, the sky cracked and through it came a huge glowing orb of light that was tens; no, hundreds of times brighter than Vincent.

The glowing orb shone with silvery brilliance appearing as if a star itself had descended. A silver crest inscribed with unreadable, primaeval symbols formed inside the star, exuding an authority that seemed to reach into the very essence of the world.

"[True Silver- Ancient Symbol Manifestation]" Vincent slowly muttered.

BOOOM!!!

The next second, the two Demon Archdukes facing him were instantly blown back, their forms disappearing into the debris of the crumbling mountains.

Having pushed his enemies back, Vincent zipped through the sky and appeared beside Jumeirah, the huge ancient symbol silently rotating behind him.

The battlefield reached an eerie deadlock.

On one side were Garvex and the two other subordinates of the demon lord, wielding the [Edicts] of envy. And on the other side, was Vincent manifesting his Ancient Symbol and Jumeriah using her Cherubim descent.

Both sides have started displaying the true might of their abilities, causing the sky, earth and even space to become fragmented.
