My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 420: Abyssal Darkness Against Holy Light! Uehara VS Matsuo 3

-----

Matsuo glanced at Uehara who was about to crush his head into the ground, his entire body was coated in Holy Light, blazing like a flame of yellow-gold colors. His Aura had fully awakened, and Uehara, as a being with Abyss Magic Affinity, couldn't help but abhor the holy nature of Matsuo's soul.

"Tch! You haven't practiced it enough anyway, it won't make a difference, you pathetic human!!!"

Uehara roared monstrously as his muscles bulged, the runes across his body strengthened his physique to incredible levels, he was already reaching the peak of SSS-Rank in terms of Superhuman levels of power!

However, Matsuo glanced at him, and then closed his eyes.

"You're going to take a nap or something?!"

Uehara reached Matsuo with his fists, but it seemed as if time had stopped inside of Matsuo's mind.

"Project it, Matsuo."

Within his memories, he remembered what had happened some time ago. When Matsuo had tried to practice Projection Magic, which could let someone project shapes and forms unbound by spells using magic.

His father was rather good at it, as he used it to project runes and infuse them into Paper Seals. However, Matsuo was having a hard time even projecting the spears of holy light he always used. If it wasn't through a spell, it seems he had a very hard time.

"I can't…" sighed Matsuo.

"You can. We have been practicing for a few months now, but you've managed to make the tip of a blade, right? Slow progress is still progress, son! My father always used to tell me that! It took me a while to learn Projection Magic," said his father.

"Father…"

"You'll get to it eventually, you're a genius after all. Let's keep practicing! Tenacity is the key to learn Magic, never forget that!" said his father.

"Project it… I have to project it. I must not bound myself by spells anymore…" thought Matsuo.

"To break through the limits of a mage and become a true being of magic, you must not be bound by spells or incantations, you must make of magic and its elements part of your body… Only a few of them, named Sorcerers, are capable of such a feat…"

Matsuo once more remembered something else, this time it was Hinata herself, she was one of Matsuo's senpais, and she was also a talented sorcerer.

"You're also a sorcerer, Matsuo. Your dad told me that since you were a toddler that you played around with magic, at some point, you got too used to spells and ended losing that ability. But you should be able to awaken it with practice," she said.

"The ability to make magic my own power… And not use it through spells?" asked Matsuo.

"That's right! I know it sounds like a hard thing to do, but you gotta do it. Let's keep practicing!" Hinata taught many things to Matsuo, but he never truly managed to use Sorcery.

Until now.

Matsuo's soul suddenly grasped its fist, as holy light shaped itself to his will.

Time resumed for Matsuo as countless Abyssal Aura fists showered his entire body.

B O O M !

B O O M !

B O O M !

B O O M !

However!

"Eh?!"

Uehara was greeted by enormous holy shields, each shield resilient enough to take a fist, and they continued to emerge one by one!

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"Defending won't get you anywhereeeee!"

Uehara roared monstrously, his anger over his last defeat was still within his mind, he couldn't let Matsuo win!

However, Matsuo opened his flashing gold eyes, as his Aura flashed and extended wildly everywhere!

FLAAAASH!

Suddenly, golden armor made of his own aura fused with his equipment and materialized itself, even feathered wings emerged behind him, three pairs of them, and alongside that, a large blade!

"W-What?! Aura Materialization?!" cried Uehara, surprised by Matsuo's talent!

"I suppose I was a bit better than I expected. I really have to thank you, Uehara. Without your stinky face screaming at me all the time, I would have never awakened this power. Challenges are one thousand times worth more than training," said Matsuo.

"Tch! Don't get too cocky, human!" Uehara almost exploded in anger! How did he dare to say that to him?!

FLAASH!

However, Matsuo had a reason to be cocky!

He reached Uehara in an instant, his speed was as fast as his flash of light!

"Ungh?!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Matsuo's blade showered Uehara with slashes, his Aura barely being able to keep up with his incredible charge!

"Uuuuuuuoooogghh…!"

Uehara roared angrily as his eyes became completely black, his fists were enhanced ton his limits, as his Abyssal Aura enhanced his entire being!

"RRAAAAAAHH!"

A massive beam of Abyssal Darkness reached Matsuo, but Matsuo intercepted it with his own power!

"HHAAAAAHHH!"

A ray of darkness and light clashed against one another, this was a specular showcase of inborn talent, relentless training, and amazing use of Aura! The spectacular scene made those around it in awe.

"Uehara-kun…" muttered a little Oni girl, as she glanced at the scene with concern.

"Y-You damn humaaaaaaannnn!"

"I won't let you get your waaaaaaay!"

The two men roared like frightening and brave lions, clashing against each other with both power and wills!

However…!

"It's over!"

Matsuo released all the mana he had accumulated within his Mana Core, as it infused into his holy light beam, and reached up to Uehara!

The holy light consumed his entire abyssal darkness, as he was hit directly!

"Unnngghh….! UNNNGGGRRRYYAAAGGGH…!"

BOOOOMMM!!!

The holy light bathed over the Oni's body, as his Abyssal Aura slowly dissipated, and his body was burned by the power of holy light.

Matsuo ended exhausted and out of mana, falling into the ground near Uehara.

He slowly stood up, took a potion, and drank it, restoring some Mana.

He slowly crawled towards Uehara to finish him off, as he felt his life still hanging on a cliff.

A young Oni Girl was healing Uehara's pained body, as Matsuo rushed towards her.

To kill her…
