Mara and Mykel stared each other in the eye, and it was the first time Mykel had seen Mara's appearance. He asked Lucifer if he'd seen Mara's appearance before, but it was the first time for him as well.
Mykel didn't care about his encounter with Mara. What he was curious about was who made Mara's appearance because it was definitely not him.
Mykel creates a small ball of [Sacrilege Flame] on his right hand. He was strong enough to handle the flame thanks to his [Godly Resistance] and [Celestial Immunity] skills. The flame was still hot, but not hot enough to melt his skin anymore.
"Oh? Are you planning to fight me here? This is a sacred place for the Constellations," Mara raised her eyebrows and wasn't bothered by the heat of [Sacrilege Flame] that was enough to crack the table.
"Isn't that why you sent everyone back to their world in the first place? This place also needs a total renovation since there's a new Major Arcana that joined the Constellations," Mykel answered as the [Sacrilege Flame] melted the table and sucked all the ashes.
"(Are you sure you want to fight her here?)" Lucifer asked.
"(I just want to test how strong she is if she's not in her world,)" Mykel said as he looked at Mara.
"(Let me join you. I want to pay her back for what she did to me,)" Lucifer said and he sounded angry.
"(No. She can read your minds, and it would put me and my plan in danger. She would be cautious if she knew who I am,)" Mykel replied.
"Why are you just staring at me, Mykel? You said you want to fight me, so come," Mara said as she leaned on her chair and the void clouds started to lurk on her feet down to the ground.
Mykel threw the fireball at Mara, and when it was about to hit Mara in the face, the cloud covered the fireball. She was amazed when the void cloud couldn't devour the fireball, and she started to feel the heat on her face.
Mykel looked at the fireball and noticed it was powerful enough to stop the void cloud. If that was the case, he didn't have to worry about it since he could protect himself with the [Sacrilege Flame].
Mara was curious about the [Sacrilege Flame] and decided to touch it with her right hand. Mykel was displeased when she could handle the flame with her bare hand and it didn't affect her at all.
"So this is the flame that killed him," Mara said as she held the flame. "You're indeed an interesting individual, Mykel Alester," Mara blew up the flame by crushing it with her hand, and the shockwave burned the whole hall.
She looked at the Hall of Arcana which was about to be devoured by the flame. She then covered the whole hall with void clouds in a blink of an eye and extinguished the flames since they weren't concentrated like the one that Mykel threw at her.
Mykel covered his arms and legs with [Sacrilege Flame], and then he used [Spatiokinesis] to close his distance from Mara. Mara who suddenly saw Mykel right in front of her immediately covered herself with a void cloud and disappeared before Mykel punched her.
Mara appeared on the other side of the hall, and she was chuckling as she floated in the air.
"(You should know by now that she's different from us. While we have a world that we live in, she doesn't have that, and her world is the cloud itself. As long as the void cloud exists around her, she's invincible,)" Lucifer explained as Mykel dispersed the flame around him to prevent the clouds from devouring him.
"(I can see that now. Let's try this new skill,)" Mykel said as he activated [Judgement Arcana].
The [Judgement Arcana] skill was similar to his previous [Judgement] skill which allowed him to disable all skills and weaken their state instantly. It still had the same radius which was a hundred meters, and the duration increased to an hour. The difference was that it could be used just for a single target and the duration lasted forever and could be lifted by using the [Forgiveness] skill.
The [Forgiveness] skill wasn't only able to lift the [Judgement Arcana] debuff, but it could remove all the debuffs without exceptional. It was really a nice skill, and it would be useful since the [Forgiveness] skill buff also prevented debuffs from being reapplied on the target who still had that buff.
Mykel used his [Judgement Arcana] skill on Mara, but then a notification appeared.
[The skill [Judgement Arcana] failed to inflict on the target]
Mykel squinted his eyes and immediately activated [Duplicate] on Mara, to get that powerful skill that could block his skill, but the same notification appeared in front of him.
"Figure," Mykel said and decided to use the [Judgement Arcana] to his surrounding area instead of a target.
"You think a Judgement Arcana can beat the World Arcana?" Mara asked as she covered her smile and looked down at Mykel. "In exchange, you should know the power of the World Arcana," Mara chuckled.
Something felt different in the air, and Mykel could feel it, but he didn't know what it was.
"Now, you can't leave because you're under my Dominion skill," Mara said as she landed. "You're stuck with me here," Mara continued.
Mykel squinted his eyes and tried to use [Warp Space] but he ended up warping in the same place where he was. He used [Spatiakinesis] to manipulate the space around him, but the skill didn't work at all. He felt a bit uneasy, but it should be fine since he was planning to fight her in the first place.
He covered himself with the [Sacrilege Flame], but suddenly it got extinguished immediately. He was shocked and tried to do it again, but it got extinguished again. He started to understand what this [Dominion] skill was, and what the effect of the skill was.
"(Don't bother to use the [Nihilikinesis] skill on her. The system will protect her, and it backfired at me when I used it on her. Be careful,)" Lucifer warned Mykel and he sounded a bit anxious.
"(I know, but there's one thing that I haven't tried,)" Mykel replied as he closed his eyes.
"Still not giving up?" Mara asked.
"Why would I? I know so much that your Dominion skill has a duration like my Judgement skill. You wouldn't request the system to disable all my skills if this skill doesn't have a duration," Mykel answered with a smirk. "Let's see for how long this Dominion skill will last, and by the time being, let's have some fun," Mykel opened his eyes as he activated the [Brute] skill.
With [Godly Physical], [Celestial Body], and [Limit Break] together with [Brute] skill. Mykel's movements could be called teleporting rather than moving since every time he moved, the space around him bent and created a wormhole to the place he wanted to be.
"Are you done having your fun?" Mara asked as she casually stood still while her void clouds dealt with Mykel.
"(You still can go beyond this, Mykel,)" Lucifer said as he watched Mykel struggle to get close to Mara.
"(Does that even matter? The clouds are blocking her and if I get touched by it, I'm done for,)" Mykel replied as he landed on the other side of the hall.
"(I'm curious about your Limit Break skill, and the Brute skill that you stole from Mazikeen. You can become more and more powerful that I'm terrified by just imagining it if you use another skill, your power will be infinite,)" Lucifer said.
"(Tell me,)" Mykel said with curiosity.
"(Ergokinesis, use it and feed yourself with the energy that exists in this place and the space around you since they're all made of magic power. But, that should be impossible to gather the energy beyond this Dominion skill, so you can dry the area inside the Dominion with it, and see how much it will give you,)" Lucifer said.
Mykel smirked and immediately activated the [Ergokinesis] skill. He sucked all the energy out of the Hall of Arcana and realized the immense amount of magic and energy that kept the place intact. The Hall started to tremble and crumble as Mara looked at the damage and the amount of energy that was depleting insignificantly.
Mara patiently watched the power within Mykel's body grow.
"Show me your power, Mykel Alester. I want to see the one who's favored by the system," Mara said as her whole body was covered by void clouds. "And see, who's the most favored by our Benefactor," Mara continued as the whole hall was covered in Void Cloud.
Mara and Mykel stared each other in the eye, and it was the first time Mykel had seen Mara's appearance. He asked Lucifer if he'd seen Mara's appearance before, but it was the first time for him as well.
