Chapter 203: Chapter 202:PILLAR OF THE HEAVENS

"Ughhh...." Malachi groaned as he picked himself up from another collapsing building...

"Damn... just what the hell is this thing made of!" He grumbled as he finally stood up..

His form was a sight to see..

His entire body looked hollowed out.

He looked a little breath away from collapsing.

With one arm reduced to nothing but a twig, half his head already collapsing inward, two nasty holes decorating his entire body.

With one in his chest, and another in his gut, he looked like it was taking all he had just to stand..

"Fuck..." following a brilliant flash of light, the golden halo materialized once more behind him, his form regaining itself once again..

"At this rate, I’m going to die if I don’t do something soon." His expression turned grim..

It had been less than five minutes since the fight started, and since then, all he’d done was get beat up, destroyed, healed, then repeat..

"Kekekekekekek.... Break.. collapse... shatter... kekekekekekek... I’ll rip you apart..." the drawling voice of the butcher reached his ears once more as his eyes settled on the foe that had turned him into a punching bag.

Yet before any of them could make another move, they both stopped, their heads turning..

BZZZTTT....BOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!

Following another thunderous crash, the two figures looked towards the distance.

There, what could only be described as the fury of the heavens, from the skies, a torrential downpour of pillar sized dark golden lightning bolts fell without pause, a sight that has been common for the past five minutes, but now, now it had stopped..

"Im...impossible..." the disbelieving voice of the butcher reached Malachi’s ears, confirming his suspicions..

With how angry Dante had been, the bolts wouldn’t have stopped for anything, unless of course the thing he was punishing was no longer there..

"Heh.. seems like that guy solved your undying problems." Malachi shook his head wryly..

"Of course he did, he’s the true monster after all.." he finally took his gaze from the distance, his attention returning to the butcher infront of him..

"Im...possible..." the butcher was still in disbelief.

It would seem their nature, their state of always recovering from whatever damage they received, had made them believe themselves infallible, that would explain the butcher’s reckless fighting methods.

But this... the fact that the collector had just been erased from existence, had shattered that illusion...

"Kekekekekekekekekek.... Interesting... break.. what breaks... break,,, unbreakable...kekekekeke..." it burst into maniacal laughter, it’s words coming out even more jumbled than before..

"Hooo... alright then..." Malachi breathed out slowly, his posture relaxing, as his mind slowly calmed...

"Kekekekek... DIEEEEE!!!!" The butcher appeared before him, cleaver arm swinging for another devastating blow, but something happened this time that shook the mad creature..

CLANGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

The sound of metal striking metal echoed as the butcher’s strike connected with something...

"Kek?" A confused sound escaped the deformed entitie as it looked on incredulously at the sight before it..

"Now, now, friend, I think we’ve had enough playing around." Malachi’s voice reached the creature as its senses blared angrily!!!

DANGER!!!!!

Its body made a move to escape the monkey’s clutches.

Yes! Malachi had caught the cleaver with nothing but his hand..

"Tut.. tut.. tut... now, why would you want to leave so soon? You’ll hurt my feelings.." the monkey grinned, a savage expression, as he clenched his hand.. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Creaaaklkll!!!!!!

Rooaoooarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

A roar of pain tore out of the creature as its cleaver arm was bent and twisted,

Clank!!!!

And with a sharp tug, the top of the bladed arm was snapped off, the butcher’s figure retreating instantly, arm bleeding a putrid black blood..

The creature squirmed, its arm taking longer than usual to recover, and when it finally did, the creature, for the first time since its clash with Malachi, was no longer smiling, its face had gone feral...

"Break... break... arm.. collapse... break... BREAKKKKK!!!!!"

"Yea, no, buddy, sorry but I’ll have to disagree."

Malachi’s golden eyes started changing, their colors deepening into a bloody crimson..

"Dante has already taken care of one of you ugly fuckers, and if I waste any more time here.." his fangs elongated as his golden fur stood on end, his form growing larger...

"Then he might make fun of me for taking so long to dispatch a lowly mutant.." his golden fur turned a crimson red as his figure finally reached a towering twenty foot tall, his canines peekin out of his mouth as his staff appeared within his grasp..

"I had intended to use this new form against that bastard, but I guess you’ll do just fine for a test run.."

"MAD BERSERKER APE!"

ROOOOOOOOOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

A roar that sent the butcher flying erupted from the massive simian.

Malachi stood, his twenty foot form taking a casual posture as his now reddened staff was slung carelessly over his shoulders..

"Now, time to end this..."

Saying so, he raised his staff, just in time for the furious form of the butcher to come crashing out of the rubble he’d been buried under, barreling straight towards the monkey with a furious bellow...

"Not this time buddy...."

"PILLAR OF THE HEAVENS!"

Following a thunderous roar, the red staff grew, its length growing till it pierced the clouds, its width widening until it cast a shadow above the entire plains, and then, reminiscent of the angry cloud from earlier his voice thundered..

"FALL!!!!!" Swinging the staff so hard the air didn’t split, no, it exploded outwards, the staff crashing down with an impact that shook the entire city....

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A savage grin split Malachi’s face as he raised the staff once more..

"You’re pretty smug about your recovery aint ya? Let’s see what happens when I turn you into smudge.."

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

Uncaring for any form of collateral damage he might cause, the Monkey kept swinging the massive staff as if it weighed nothing, causing the entire city to tremble, dilapidated buildings, no longer capable of holding their structures, collapsed unceremoniously...

BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

Following one last devastating strike, the monkey finally lowered the staff, breathing heavily..

"Damn... still takes a lot out of me.." he muttered, as his staff shrunk, returning to its "normal" size..

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Taking one earthshaking step after the other, the monkey lumbered toward the crushed figure of the butcher, his gaze indifferent to the carnage around him.

"Wow, alive even after all of that?" Lifting up the butcher that had now become nothing but a writhing piece of flesh, Malachi marveled at the astonishing vitality or lack thereof of the creature..

"Well, it matters not.." saying so, he lifted the pile of flesh, opening his mouth to impossible angles, "thanks for the meal.." he tossed it in.

CRUNCH!!!

"Taste like shit.. ptui!" He spat, ending the butcher in one bite..

"Now then, who’s next? Can’t let that bastard get all the fun now can I?" The monkey’s hellish eyes glowed with manic joy as he bounded towards the next massive energy signature he could sense, excitement about his next meal curling up his gut..

"Hahahahahaha... I knew things were going to be fun around that guy...."
