Feeling overflowed with plasma energy, Captain Virgil decided to finish the battle once in for all.
"This guy could absorb the energy. So, I guess I need to depend on my physical strength. At my current state, it will be easier to dodge his attacks too. So, there's nothing to worry." Captain Virgil clenched his fist.
He flew towards Azzy at his peak speed, covering those hundred meters in a fraction of a second.
Upon reaching the target, he threw a kick.
But, currently, Azzy's body was possessed by the Reaper who also had God's eyes activated. In his eyes, it was as slow as a snail.
Azzy's body ducked and counterattacked with a punch at Virgil's thigh.
The powerful punch was landed on Captain Virgil, blasting him a few meters away.
Captain Virgil was unharmed by the punch with most of the damage was taken by the Exo suit.
The Reaper frowned inwardly, "normal ones wouldn't do. I need to use that."
Captain Virgil flew again and threw out a fake punch at Azzy's chest before lifting the leg in a fraction of a second.
But, this time, the Reaper didn't block it and let the kick hand on Azzy's abdomen.
Azzy coughed out a mouthful of blood and was blasted away dozens of meters. Captain Virgil flew like lightning and landed another kick before Azzy crashed onto the ground.
The Reaper continued to absorb the solar energy into the eyes while letting Azzy lay on the ground.
Captain Virgil positioned himself a few meters directly above Azzy. "I should have done it a long time ago. I didn't expect it was this easy. I guess only his energy and so-called soul skills were unique."
Pouring plasma energy into his fist, he dived towards Azzy, motioning his fist backward.
"Too late…" A mumble escaped from Azzy's mouth just as his chest was about to be punched.
It was at that moment black laser beams escaped his pitch-black eyes and struck the suit, blasting the enemy for dozens of meters and crashing on the ground.
After a fraction of a second, Protos energy gushed out of Azzy's body and formed a thick barrier with large thorns protruding from all sides.
In an instant, Azzy's body looked as good as new. The Reaper controlled the energy and pushed it back into the gem on Vajra's forehead.
"Energy of the Protos race, You shouldn't always act at the brink of death."
The Reaper was actually telling the Protos energy earlier that it is too late for its defenses to kick in.
"Well, anyway, let's see how the plasma energy is faring…"
Azzy's body stood upon his feet and the Reaper stared at the enemy who had a hole in the middle of his chest. The suit couldn't block the earlier attack.
However, the plasma energy repaired his body to as good as new within seconds, although it couldn't repair the suit.
The Reaper nodded to himself, "the recovery properties are good. It must have been extracted from a star with extremely high temperatures."
Meanwhile, Captain Virgil groaned a little bit as the tissues were being regenerated by the new power. He gave a serious look to Azzy.
"I don't know what that attack is but I'm invincible in my current state. You cannot defeat me." Captain Virgil said to Azzy before adding a proposal, "How about we call it a truce and go on each other ways?"
The Reaper simply pointed his finger at him, "I don't think so, kid."
"Hmm? Kid? His voice turned deeper?" Captain Virgil felt as if the person before him was changed.
But, he isn't in any luxury to think about such a thing because just a couple of seconds after the Reaper's words ended, he felt like losing strength in his legs and hands.
The middle of his chest blackened all of a sudden before spreading to all over his body parts before the defensive mechanism of the plasma energy kicked in to regenerate the lost cells and fight the foreign energy.
"Argh…" He screamed in pain for a while. The cells in his body started to break down on their own and then, they will be regenerated by the plasma energy. The process was repeated at least ten times.
"You, what did you do?" He screamed at Azzy, collapsing onto his knees.
The Reaper answered it right away, "Solar beams but with a little bit twist. You see the corruptive energy of the Protos race is something that even the gods fear. What a little human like you or your so-called advanced technology can do against it?"
The Reaper then summoned the death scythe and controlled Azzy's body to slowly walk towards the enemy.
"No, don't come near me. Stay away…" Captain Virgil never felt any fear. His body condition is in a state where he cannot even move, much less escape. He regretted not trying to escape earlier.
Upon reaching him, Azzy raised the death scythe and placed the curvy blade at the enemy's neck.
The Reaper then said, "My host has no policy of killing. This is why I will not kill you. Give me the suit and I will free you from this suffering."
"You… are… doing… this… for my suit?" Captain Virgil realized the aim of his enemy. "ha ha haha haa, I thought it was because I attacked your planet. How wrong I was…"
In the next instant, a burst of laughter escaped from him. "You have the look of someone who has a certain disregard for the lives of others. I don't think I will get out of here, alive whether I give you the suit or not. Fine, before I go, I might as well take you with me."
The Reaper saw all the plasma energy gathered at one spot in the suit. It was at the core. He saw the boundaries of the core start cracking because of overload.
Perhaps, Protos Energy also sensed the danger. Even without the Reaper's permission, it gushed out of Azzy, forming a barrier before the plasma energy orb detonated.
However, the Reaper just smiled inwardly, "what a foolish lad."
Somewhere in the wilderness, about a hundred kilometers away from Azzy, Affea was seen running at her peak speed.
*Boom*
