The Book of Abbadon

Only You

" COME ON!! "

Tom shouts as the thousands of colossal rocky swords begin to spin rapidly around him as they hurl towards Valanyah and Verzo, crashing into the crater and causing multiple earthquakes that split the ground into several deep chasms that open in every direction. Valanyah jumps from rock to rock midair at an incredible speed to close the gap between her and Tom as he attacks continuously, forming even more swords out of the rock that's shattering beneath him as she approaches. Verzo destroys any incoming swords with the red beams shooting from his hands as he follows you through the whirlwind of spinning swords until you finally reach Tom, getting behind him. Right before Verzo and Valanyah reach him, Tom telekinetically pulls together all of the rock from the thousands of swords and compresses them all into the size of a coin, which then turns into a black hole in the palm of his hand. With a menacingly serious expression, Tom closes his fist around it and swings it faster than the speed of light directly at Verzo's face, punching Verzo with the incredible mass of the black hole and crushing it with his hand which causes it to disperse into pure energy, exploding the instant that it makes contact. Tom's fist makes a cosmic cracking sound that echoes several thousands of times across the entirety of Aria's atmosphere and launches Verzo like a bullet back into the ground, causing another explosion upon impact that dwarfs the one that you made earlier. The shockwave from the impact caves deep down into Aria's mantle and the entirety of Aria shakes so violently that you feel like the whole planet is going to break apart into pieces, but you see that Tom is also using his telekinetic power to keep the rest of the planet in pristine condition by containing and reducing the damage from his strike solely inside the crater beneath you. Valanyah barely clocks Tom's strike in time enough to go translucent and evade the explosion that Verzo's body makes when it hits the surface, and she talks to Tom playfully before jumping directly towards him following the explosion.

" Haha!! Incredible! And you're still holding back!! The rumors and legends were true! "

Verzo's body slowly starts putting itself back together and Valanyah becomes tangible again after reaching both of you, where she materializes the dagger that she once used to kill Sowzo and swings a flurry of slashes at Tom with a smile.

" Come on, lapdog! The lives here on this planet are inconsequential compared to the likes of us! Stop holding back your power in an effort to save the beings of this universe! Let us destroy it and the multiverse that it belongs to in a fight for the ages!! "

You immediately try to help Tom, but Verzo's body is already fully reassembled and he zips up into the air to intercept you, shooting beams to block your path towards Tom and buy Valanyah time to breathe before reaching you. Tom continues to dodge and evade Valanyah's slashes while you exchange blows with Verzo until a monsterous voice growls from the lava inside the crater below.

" FALL. "

In an instant, you and Tom fall out of the sky and crash into the molten ground. Valanyah and Verzo dive downwards, tracking you into the scorching abyss and continuing to throw blows at you while you both stand back up to recover. You divert your gaze to where the voice came from and see the third giant armored Valghuli Exemplar from Somniohm approaching slowly with a beastly smile.

You and Tom immediately go on the defensive as you both evade the Valghuli's strikes, dodging backwards before the third Valghuli Exemplar speaks again in his demonic voice.

" STUMBLE. "

You and Tom immediately lose your balance, falling back down onto the burning rock before Valanyah jumps on Tom, pinning him underneath her again and Verzo shoots a glowing red beam down next to your head, putting a hole in the scorching ground beside you and pointing his glowing red hand directly at your face. You roll to the side and launch yourself at Verzo, spinning in the air and kicking yourself off of his chest to fly towards Tom, but the third 10 foot tall armored Valghuli Exemplar appears out of thin air in front of you and stops you by catching you mid-air, grabbing your face with its giant hand before slamming you back into the ground. The burning ground inside the crater instantly cools into dried rock from the force of your body hitting the ground and Valanyah continues to beat down on Tom's guard while he's under her until the flesh on his arms are torn to pieces. Verzo, smirking through the shredded flesh where his mouth is supposed to be, speaks in a pompous tone.
