Chapter 166 - Supreme Destruction vs. Mysteries of Magic (Patreon)

This duel was a showcase of the Supreme Destruction held by the Destruction Jian and Mysteries of the Magic held by the Champion of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley...

Aleister Crowley mastered a lot of types of Magic, some of which were considered pretty esoteric and he was a master in the Spirit Magic that affected the person's very own souls, which was something that was anti-thesis to the Destruction Devils.

Destruction Devils were peculiar creatures as they did not really have an affinity for the Soul and Spirit; it was one of their weakest sides, so most of the Destruction Devils heavily avoided fighting someone that specialized in these aspects. 

Destruction Devils often solely depended on the Dao of Destruction and nothing more, though it wasn't really that simple. They were unique creatures that basically followed the same path as the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

The concept of Destruction was in their very own Bloodlines and at the same time they also followed the path of the Dao Comprehension, as the two paths were complementing each other to the utmost perfection.

This gave them all-rounded bonuses, but at the same time, it also made them heavily specialized for the Destruction alone and they often lacked any other means, as they were heavily specialized.

Though they developed their Destruction to a certain degree, managing to substitute for its versatility, but it was not enough and it couldn't really be used for everything, at least by a Destruction Devil that wasn't on the Chaotic Origin Realm with the Dao of Destruction at the Chaotic Origin Level of Comprehension. 

Soon enough, Aleister Crowley employed more esoteric means of Magic against his opponent, as hundreds of Magic Circles appeared all around the battlefield, all of them being of different origins. 

All of the Magic Cirlces were of the different Runic Languages and were of different types of Magic, showing how many types of Magic the Champion of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn mastered.

However, that was only logical because of the fundamental nature of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which was obsessed with collecting various types and branches of Magic, desperately wanting to uncover the deepest secrets of the Arcane. 

Waving his staff and reciting the chant in the unknown, long-forgotten language, suddenly, the Destruction Devil Jian stopped in his tracks as countless injuries appeared on his body, though they were healing very fast. 

At the same time, Aleister Crowley was using different types of Spiritual-oriented Magic to target the Destruction Devil's Soul, as that was the fastest and easiest method of defeating the Destruction Devil.

Their Souls were their weakest side because they were not really protected well, though after reaching the Chaotic Origin Lifeform Realm, they were able to patch up this weakness by creating some kind of barrier of pure Destruction around their Souls.

"Thelema Magic: Law of the Judgement."

Thelema Magic was one of the most accomplished achievements of Aleister Crowley, his personal brand of Magic, that imitated the Laws of the Chaotic Source Dimension, borrowing the power of the fundamental mechanisms of the Chaotic Source Dimension.

Aleister Crowley mastered the Thelema to a high enough degree to borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao Will and use it freely and if he pushed himself to the limit, he could borrow bit strings of power from the Grand Dao Will of the entire Chaotic Source Dimension.

The Law of the Judgement was one of the most peculiar Magic, that was typically used in combination with the other Spells to create Spell Combinations that needed to be used carefully, but it was sure to kill...

He knew that the moment the Spell was finished, he would win the duel because it targeted the fundamental nature of the Destruction Devils. It was all about the Karma Magic that was coming as the next part of the puzzle...

Meanwhile, to keep on the Destruction Jian on the edge, as he managed to recover from the Spirit Attack swiftly, he used one of his final trump cards, which was kept hidden and which created shock of among the contestants...

Esper Ability...

In a split of moment, two things happened; the first one was that the Destruction Jian was stuck by the Esper Ability Archetype Controller as the Destruction Devil froze in place for several seconds while allowing Aleister Crowley to cast the final Spell of the Thelema Magic: Law of the Judgement.

Archetype Controller allowed him to control over archetypes, a psychological concept for a common understanding or sense of values that developed as each member of a race or group dealt with an identical problem in the same way.

Somehow, Aleister can create, send them out of the world, and even destroy them.

And that was something that he did right now, instilling a great sense of fear inside the Destruction Devil, as he waved his staff, finishing the final Spell on his list to cast...

"Karmic Calculation: Thelema Connection: Judge."

While the Destruction Devils were born from the Chaotic Source Dimension and were the tools of the Grand Dao Will to keep the balance within the Unicron Chaotic Source Dimension, it didn't really change the fact that their Karma was terrible...

Though not as bad as that of the Devil Cultivators or other species because the Destruction Devils were protected a bit, but at the same time, the moment the Thelema Magic was active and the Destruction Jian broke from the Esper Ability Archetype Controller, it was too late.

As he created the condensed ball of the Destruction Energy that crashed against the pillar of the holy blinding light that descended down from the skies, it wasn't enough to stop the Thelema Magic: Law of the Judgement at all.

The pillar of the Judgement crashed onto the Destruction Devil, using his Karma and Judging him for the sins of his and that of his species, as the Destruction Devil was instantly knocked unconscious with severe injuries.

At the same time, Aleister Crowley knew that this was the maximum that the Thelema Magic: Law of the Judgement could achieve and that it was impossible to kill the Destruction Devils with the Karmic means. 

The most one could achieve with it was to knock them out or to paralyze them.

As they were born from the will of the Grand Dao Will of the Unicron Chaotic Source Dimension, unless one cast a Karmic Spell powerful enough to ignore the might of the entire CHaotic Source Dimension, then it was impossible to kill them through the Karmic means.
