Due to the bindings and the pressure applied by Farbauti and me, the surroundings and the arena started falling apart.
I charged at Farbauti and slashed, despite the sword being fused with my body. The Pangu transformation required me to fuse with Pangu in his entirety, even the sword. That meant that Pangu is me, and I am Pangu; thus, I am the sword itself in my current form.
My sword suddenly appeared in my hand once I was close enough to my Senior Brother. However, Farbauti blocked it with a shield of rocks that materialized at his elbow.
Both of us unleashed techniques and spells as we fought, and the surroundings crumbled even more. This time, I tried hitting him with my sword once again, but he dodged.
The force from the attack caused part of the volcano in front of me to be cleaved diagonally. I flew to the air, grabbed the part that was cut, and threw it at Farbauti.
There was no room for him to dodge, so he used a lot of defensive techniques and his shield to block. There was a big boom, and dust filled the area. Still in the air, I waited for the dust to settle and found Farbauti standing in the middle of the rubble. He barely looked injured as he grunted and shouted, "Use your own powers to fight!"
I replied in an annoyed tone through the world, "You clearly didn't tell me this before we started fighting!"
His response was simple; he used his power as the Lord of Chaos element to control the lava around us before hurling it at me. I formed a wall of ice and successfully blocked the attack. "That's cheating!"
"I used my own power."
"Well, in that case!" I flew down and started rotating around him at my highest speed. A wind kicked in behind me and formed a tornado. "Wind!"
Inside the tornado, water appeared and started filling the area. "Water!"
Upon contact with some of the wind at the border, a lot of the water droplets started freezing, forming ice spears that were 2 meters long each and attacked Farbauti from all sides. "Ice!"
The tornado started shrinking as the spears attacked, and I declared, "This is my own power, Senior Brother. This is my Elemental Prison!"
…
Richard was sitting in his office in the Mansion of Night.
In reality, however, he was watching the fight attentively. He raised his eyebrows in surprise when Orion executed the Elemental Prison. "Creating techniques on the spot, such talent…"
"End the fight when the tornado shrinks completely," he ordered Fárbuati through a transmission.
But just when Farbauti was about to end it, and Orion was going to transform back, the Divine suddenly appeared on the latter's forehead. It started glowing and immediately sent a beam of pure yellow light at Farbauti inside the prison.
Richard teleported instantly and appeared before him to block the beam. With a wave from his hand, he dismissed the Elemental Prison.
…
The burning sensation on my forehead was extreme. I returned to normal and asked Richard, who suddenly appeared, "Why does it suddenly appear?"
"Normally, it should not be triggered even if it is still incomplete," he replied. "But since you are fusing with Pangu, the creator of this innate ability, it senses him and activates just before you return to your normal state."
"He needs to train it," Farbauti interjected. He was in a sorry state after taking so many attacks from the Elemental Prison.
"Eventually, yes. However, he has to finish the sword as quickly as possible. Dark times are coming.
"Go to Helheim next. You have completed the tests with Farbauti. Only two shards remain."
