Perfect Avatar-Chapter 317: The Twilight Of The World: Hope and Twist

"Asylum" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

The five Personas appeared next to Dora. In an instant, they realized that everything they were working for was absolutely meaningless.

"You were so focused on slowing me down that you forgot that I was a library. Now, try to anticipate six of us."

His eyes shone, and so did the Personas’. One by one, they let their arms fell, they couldn’t deal a serious injury to one Dora, so now the battle was simply over.

Alpha flew above first, Sigma and Gamma jumped on the ground and Beta flew toward the group. Omega alone stood next to Dora, preventing a sneak attack, but it was pointless.

No one tried to fight again, their hope had already been lifted.

The world gleamed in brilliant white, then the hues flipped, just as the air shattered with a sharp sound.

Light particles fell on the ground, everyone was frozen on spot, and then, a move made Solaria tremble.

"...."

She lowered her head, in her arms, Ratoncia’s chest rose and then fell gently.

".... Uh? Ra... Ratoncia?!"

The maids and Mercy surrounded her, Ratoncia was breathing.

"Between a state of life and death, uh?"

Dora slowly turned his head to Omega.

"Correct me if I’m wrong, your power is reduced when you use Asylum, right?"

(Everyone, get ready!)

Dora’s voice resonated in everyone’s head. Alpha, Sigma, and Gamma let their aura explode, all facing Dora’s direction.

"Gluttony"

"Destruction"

"Imitator"

The two attack combined to form the naught blast, with imitator reproducing its effect.

Next to him, Omega vanished, but Dora didn’t even try to move.

The blast annihilated the platform on which Dora stood, propelling him on the ground.

The five Personas stood among the Pseudo-Avatars, with a blazing aura.

Everyone was speechless, but the weight of the world soon got replaced by the light of deliverance.

"Don’t worry, guys, now the game is even." Alpha took his pose.

"Yeah, fuck this dude!" Sigma shouted.

Marie looked at each of them with incomprehension, with great difficulty to understand, or rather, she understood, but couldn’t believe it.

Beta unleashed his aura, spreading warmly around everyone and sharing healing.

"Don’t worry, we are on the same side. I remember everything now, and he will pay."

"Yeah, he’s fucked." Gamma cracked his fingers.

"G...Guys?" Marie’s eyes shone with no color.

The Personas gave her a nod, and Dora’s voice rang in everyone’s head.

(Everyone, listen to me. There’s no time to get emotional, it’s as you see. I can’t use the previous tactic to deal with him, and he has found a way to use the time manipulation to his advantage, so I’ve used another trick. Instead of controlling him, I’ll focus on you so he won’t be able to control you. The Personas have all their memory back, and each of you has a Sin.)

The Personas grinned, their eyes glowing with their Sin’s color. With them around them, and Beta’s aura, hope was for the first time a reality.

(Now, guys, I’ll focus on them, you do your things. Objective: make this damn body eat the dust!)

"Roger!" The Personas shouted.

Their aura exploded again, and each of them except Beta hurled to the continuous blast of void.

Behind, the Pseudo-Avatars watched speechless.

(Guys? What did I say about being emotional?)

Their eyes were filling with tears of relief, so many happened in a few minutes that they lost their concentration, but a miracle was really happening.

One by one, they smiled, and one by one they rushed forward, and then, a new wave of aura rose to the air.

Everyone stopped in mid-air to avoid the cataclysm, a black and white eruption reaching the sky.

"D-damn!" Alpha stopped.

On the ground, the other Dora ascended, his upper body momentarily freed from the armor.

His upper half was barely recognizable, his body was consumed by the pressure to the point of leaving him red and black, his hair hiding his face, with only one eye visible, glowing white and the bones of his jaw.

For an instant, a cheer cold ran down everyone’s spine.

"... At this point... I don’t even want to destroy the world anymore.... I’ll just... Aah.... Fuck this."

Karma Wheel

The giant wheel resurfaced.

(Sigma! Solaria!)

"Ok!"

The two of them rushed forward, covered in orange aura, they jumped in sync, then Solaria let her aura explode, but instead of spreading around here Sigma modified the shape to turn it into a beam, hurling to the wheel.

Dora’s armor regenerated, and above him, Mercy and Omega were falling, the scythe and fist glowing.

Dora disappeared in one of Angelo’s dimensional holes before the explosive impact, resurfacing above with his axe in hands.

(Liliana, use the law on the dimensional hole, change it so they always lead to the same place!)

"O-ok... Uh.... The law... Wait, I can’t control the law! I can only modify it!"

"It will be enough!"

Alpha grabbed her and flew with her above.

Dora slashed the air, but on his path, met Freya and Omega, the first giving a slash with her axe, the second striking Dora from behind.

With his lagging, the boy ate both impact, disappearing in light.

(Great! You can do it! Boys, stick to the Sin you represent, guide them! Maids, Dog, get the Hell out of here!)

The maids nodded and jumped off the platforms, with one last glance for Solaria, while Lucca took back her former appearance, pouting.

- Where do you think you’re going?

A giant hand of energy emerged from a hole beneath, heading for Lucca

"Starvation"

The orange beams fell on the mass of energy, erasing most of it, allowing the maids and the warlord to dodge the danger.

Dora emerged from the blast, Gamma, Mercy, Liliana, Lilith around him, Freya, Omega above, Marie, Giudecca, Hope, Iris, and Beta farther away, and Solaria and Sigma spawning randomly.

Each played a different role, with the Persona mainly increasing their power and the true Dora working as a control tower.

They all unleashed their powers on the other Dora, the latter incapacitated by the collection of debuff he was suffering.

The sky shone like a firework, a spectacle bringing a smile to everyone.

(Freya, give your whole might on all of your actions, don’t just attack like an amateur!)

"... Really? After everything I did I’m an amateur?"

(What I mean is, Pride power resides in the owner’s pride, literally, you need to convince yourself that everything you’re doing is better than anyone, even breathing. Basically, you need to be as bitchy as 2 years ago!)

Everyone suppressed a laugh, Freya’s eyes narrowed, with her lips pressed against each other.

"Is this what you think of me?"

(... No, this is what I think makes you special, because you might be Pride, but you are very humble, you are the closest to the true form of Pride, so please, be more amazing than what you already are!)

The girl trembled a bit, she was taken by surprise by these words.

She felt Dora’s energy around her, she could hear his voice, he was really here and his presence made her feel lighter.

With a smile on the lips, her eyes ignited.

"Hmph... You’ll better remember this then, when this will be over, I’ll make you pay back a thousand times."

Her aura bursted, she slashed the air harder than before, unaware of Omega who rolled his eyes.

"Smart boy."

The impact destroyed Dora’s left armor, but his body remained in one piece.

(We need to pierce his defense, Mercy!)

"I’m on it!"

(Good, but remember where your power resides, Wrath is the Sin of emotion, put everything you have in heart in your attack, think about anything that makes your boil race!)

"Like these nights when you pounded the honor out of them." Gamma added.

Mercy froze in the air, with her face glowing red.

"W-w-w... Rgh..."

"Don’t tell me you feel ashamed now."

Her scream engulfed the area, and her aura exploded in turn and she flew at a phenomenal speed, slashing faster and stronger than ever, emptying her mind of any thoughts.

With Wrath and Pride working together on him, Dora’s body lost big pieces of armor, soon the regeneration unable to keep up.

His upper body was out, his skin was completely destroyed, some part of his body left his bones showing, but he was still in one piece.

Pressure

The world lightened, right above the maids, a white orb grew at a phenomenal speed, destroying the platforms and sending everyone fly away.

Sigma teleported them on the ground, near the maids.

A little dizzy, they looked above, then their hope slightly faded away.

"What? Why are you silent?"

Dora’s body was partially regenerated, emitting a little bit of his pressure, and that single amount was terrifying.

"So... Let me resume... Your attacks can’t kill me, but will destroy this armor... The armor you need to seal my power... The armor that I can’t absolutely destroy by myself, or I’ll end you... the armor you guys have to destroy if you want to kill me... That armor?"

Frozen on the spot, their eyes trembled. The armor recovered Dora’s body completely.

"Oh... I like where this is going."
