NOVEL NEXT Chapter 412: The Breakdown (4)
Erix sat on the throne and activated the transformation of his Regalon as Talonar shone in sparks and motes before enveloping Erix.
A second later, Erix appeared in his Mortiferum Sovereign Robe and the Vorterend Voidferrum Quill in his hand.
"That's something good, alright," Maze chuckled before grinning. "That bird felt like an extent of your Bloodline as well and not bad stats as well. You took half the stats of that bird after this transformation."
[~Erix~]

These were Erix's stats after activating his Regalon Drive's transformation and equipping it. He gained 50% of Taloner's stats, including its Soul and Spirit stats!
Still, Erix's stats were worse because he and others had just broken through to Empyrean-order recently while these three people were at the very near peak of Empyrean-order!
"What's that Super Exotic Element's name?" Barak asked, his voice carrying towards Erix.
"Nihilir."
'It looks strong,' Barak's eyes flashed. 'And fun to play with.'
'Of course, it is strong,' Kristy snorted. 'This brat's Super Exotic Element has a Principle element, Space, and a Primordial element, Death along with Flame. This combination should be one of the most powerful even among all Super Exotic Elements.'
'Pretty good that he managed to comprehend and awaken a Super Exotic element having two big ones,' Barak laughed.
"Nice name of the element. Now how about you attack me once, so I can handicap myself," Maze grinned. His eyes flashed as Erix felt something enveloping him for a brief second.
Erix didn't say anything in response, only his aura slightly changed.
He held his Quill and drew two lines like a cross with an unstable flow and strange movement that glowed and transformed into two humanoid metal knights.
They looked like Death Knights with their dark gold armor with hazy purple patterns on their armor pieces.
One held a heavy sword with both hands and the other held two long swords with exotic runic patterns. Their armor and weapons were made with the best Metals in Erix's arsnal, and both of them had all the powers Erix had.
'Summon-style: Void Ferum Knights. Their sole purpose is to execute a single skill built into their structures for maximum potential at the cost of their everything,' Erix narrowed his eyes as he constructed a skill to execute with his Quill.
'I'll throw my new strongest at him.'
"Come on," Maze gestured with his hand.
But in the next milliseconds, his pupils shrank, and his senses flooded with signs as the dual-wielding Void Ferum Knight appeared right behind Maze through instant space teleport before slashing his swords.
Instantly, a demonic prison manifested around Maze with the space turning volatile and dual-wield Void Ferum Knight glowing like colorful stars before bursting with space tremors in the prison as Maze was trapped in a chaotic whirlpool.
It was destructive and prevented Maze from moving. Just as he burst out his defense, it was rapidly eroded by the chaotic whirlpool while his injuries worsened. He tried to negate the effects with his powers and remained in a balanced state for a second before he sensed another thing.
The second Void Ferum Knight with a heavy broad sword was spinning fast like a screw as Punch concept's all effects applied enabled by Hollow Puncture.
Maze felt danger bells as space around him and on his chest was forcibly getting punctured. His eyes flashed a a golden flash with light green sparks creating a prism of crystalized runes on his body.
'Bastard forced me to use my Unique element,' Maze felt irritated. Although he was still handicapped and sealed a mastery of his Unique Exotic element still as he used it, he still felt like a slap on his face because he personally desired to defeat Erix without using it.
But if he didn't use it, he would be severely injured, and he sensed that in that instant.
Right as he finished, the second Void Ferum Knight flashed right before Maze and created a huge black hole in an area of 10 meters radius while everyone could see bursts of chaotic lights flashing and space screaming.
But they could also see a strange light flickering at its center.
"Powerful," Barak nodded while his muscles twitched. "I want to take that on."
Kristy sneered. "Maze used his Weimbus element for that, and he said he would do it without using it."
"That's stretching it. Even I used my Unique element against that martial artist," Barak chuckled. "Overconfidence is not good. Now he got a slap on his face by his own hand."
Both of them wallowed in Maze's failure to keep his word.
Meanwhile, Erix's brows furrowed. He had used 50,000 Spirit energy, 50,000 soul energy, and 150,000 Prana to execute that move. He almost emptied his Prana, but a little pill solved that problem while also giving him a buff that increased his Prana recovery by 250% for 5 minutes.
This pill was also one of Aria's inventions. Other pills just recovered Prana, but Aria's pills gave a buff that increased one's Prana recovery!
"Take one more pill."
Suddenly, Erix heard Maze's voice piercing towards him through space while he was still trapped in the chaotic destruction executed by Erix's latest strongest skill: Wrath of the Void Ferum Knights.
"Recover your Spirit and Soul energy because you will need it," Maze spoke in a jarring voice while he was constructing a magic formation around him while his skill defended himself against Erix's attack inside.
His body had a fine and sleek coating of golden green. It also had glowing ink-like blue flowing through the coating. Despite being in an utterly devastating state in this volatile space ravaged by the chaotic whirlpool with metal shards that had all of Erix's elements and Concepts applied to them, Maze was safe.
He was fighting against Erix's skill with his own and still handicapped as having the same stats and the using same realm of elements and concepts as Erix.
But he was pissed.
Two seconds passed since Erix's second Knight struck Maze.
Erix didn't hesitate and recovered his energies after Maze spoke his first line.
On the 4th second when Erix was constructing a new skill in his mind, a powerful blast occurred, creating an almost transparent golded-green huge pyramid-like with flowing blue patterns.
Maze stood at its center, his arms crossed and his face frosty as he coldly smiled. "From now on, I will counterattack after your every attack."
Erix cracked his neck and his aura burst out along with his Domain—Land of Lively Doom.
Maze's eyes flashed as he also used his Domain Burst, calling forth his Domain—Sinister Heaven's Altar.
One side had a floating island with exotic metal sources, chaotic whirling flows everywhere on its strange dark purple grassy land, and colorful stars that affected the chaotic whirling flows and mental sources to create a source of power having all of Erix's elements and concepts applied to it.
Clashing against this domain was a huge altar with strange, colorful plantlife in abundance everywhere in the surroundings without land or clouds, only darkness.
The giant altar with tens of floors had strange plant-like weapons having golden and blue carvings and designs.
Erix had unleashed his full power, and so did Maze as he matched with Erix.
"Let's see how long you last," Maze cracked his fingers. "Come on, boy. Time for you to learn a thing or two about power."
