Chapter 237 The Might Of Energy Absorbtion
"Look... Voli is about to beat the shit out of them." Anthony masterfully changed the subject. But the three still looked at the battlefield.
Voli felt the blood on his entire body due to the lower temperature. Some ice on the ground even made its way to his feet, which affected his mobility.
Seeing this, Kate and Azazel looked tacitly at each other. 'Empowerment Bond!'
Kate's body rose to the ground and became illusory, then she positioned herself behind Azazel's back without moving.
Azazel clenched his fist, as he could feel his speed, and power increase. Empowerment Bond enabled Kate to share some of her power with Azazel and she could still throw waves that could slow down the target as a projection in the back.
"Now, let's see if you can still use your body as armor with my attack." Azazel sneered.
"That girl's ability is good for support." Gregory couldn't help but comment on the sidelines after he witnessed Kate's flashy ability.
Anthony nodded in agreement. "Yeah, she's riding him in the back."
Fein, Gregory, and Ceterus looked at Anthony with a strange expressions.
"Cough, what?" Anthony waved his hands with embarrassment.
Fein gave him a middle finger and said. "Your words sound vulgar..."
"I didn't mean anything with that! Look... Ain't she standing behind Azazel?" Anthony pointed at Azazel in the distance.
"Tch... Whatever." Fein clicked his tongue. Just like that, the three focused on the battle again.
Azazel redirected all his energy into his right hand to produce an energy spear again. Blue energy started to materialize, which slowly took the form of the spear Azazel envision. The energy spear in his hand was brighter and more solid in appearance than the one from earlier, after Kate's support.
Voli's gaze deepened at the energy spear on Azazel's hand.'Since you've used all your power and domain. It's my time... Thunderstorm Domain!'
In the eyes of Azazel and the people observing the battle. The artificial clouds thickened and the sound of thunder echoed throughout the underground base. Blue bolts of lightning emerged after another that sizzled in the sky.
The terrifying scene akin to a natural disaster gave left them gobsmacked except for Fein. Azazel felt that he was an ant in front of the mighty power of nature.
'No! I can do this!' Instead of feeling trepidation. Azazel became excited at the sight of lightning, contrary to everyone's expectations.
'Is this the Legendary two-type elemental domain? It's really amazing. Unfortunately, it would only become food in front of Azazel.' Ceterus thought in his heart.
Azazel ran towards Voli fearlessly and brandished his spear swiftly. Voli didn't face it head-on this time, lightning emerged on his feet and he vanished under Azazel's eyes.
The energy spear pierced through the ground neatly. Voli appeared behind Azazel and swiftly delivered a wind paw.
"Useless." Azazel didn't plan to dodge, and he even sent himself toward Voli's paw which was covered with a dark air current that has constant flickering lightning.
"Huh? Did he lose his mind with fear?" Anthony was speechless. Then he turned his head to Fein with concern. "Hey dude, stop the fight."
"Don't." Ceterus chuckled. "It's not what you think it is."
"Oh..." Gregory became curious at this and he stared intently at the battle.
Voli was appalled when he saw the braveness of his opponent. But he didn't intend to retract his paw, since the man had the balls to take it.
Just like that, his paw crashed into Azazel's upper body. He didn't aim for the head, as he didn't want to kill him.
BRAK!
But when his paw landed, Azazel didn't even budge but just stood there with a smirk on his face. What's more, his muscle became more compact and his height increased slightly.
Voli became confused as the momentum of his attack suddenly disappeared, along with the wind and lightning around it. Voli only intended to knock Azazel unconscious, but with the strength of his wind paw, he knew how difficult it was. But now, his blow had no effect!
Feeling the kinetic and elemental energies flowing through his body, Azazel knew its time to do a beating. The spear in his hand turned into a hammer.
KRAKOW!
The immense force of the hammer pushed Voli a few meters back as it hit his stomach. He could feel his bone crack, and the pain caused by the blunt weapon made him dizzy. And blood sipped in the corner of his mouth.

"That's what I'm talking about. Azazel can absorb most energy in existence—Kinetic, thermal, radiant, magic power, light, chemical, nuclear, electrical, gravitational, mechanical, and even cosmic energy if it exists." Ceterus smiled.
"His potential is boundless. Because if he can really do that, then he can absorb soul energy to increase his perception and increase his soul strength." Fein added.
"Damn." Anthony tried to think of hundreds of counter-measure in a few seconds though he could only think of five currently. But this is on the basis that Azazel has a limit like everything in this world. But if he can absorb damage without repercussions, even Anthony would have to bow down to it!
The countermeasures and weakness of the ability he could currently think of as a strategist is...
First, hit him with a sharp weapon... Because a blunt weapon would only give him kinetic energy while a sharp weapon might break through this problem because of lethality.
Second, the absorption had a limited range, and Anthony noticed that Azazel could only absorb by making contact with it.
Third, let him absorb a huge amount of energy until his body can't take it. Of course, that's only true if his absorption ability has a limit. Then Azazel might explode like a firework. But if his body can absorb energy infinitely, then it's a different story.
Fourth, Overuse... Expending too much energy by using more power than stored may exhaust the Azazel.
And Lastly, Azazel may be unable to absorb power for a period, causing him to deplete his power supply. Attackers who are aware of this weakness may hide or wait until Azazel has a lower or no energy left before restraining his movements.
