Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1875 Orion Giving His All!

Orion landed several meters away and looked down at the wound. Then he smiled.

"So you were waiting."

Ervin raised his spear calmly. "You were too fast to interrupt carelessly."

Orion laughed. "That is a compliment, right?"

"Yes."

The moment Ervin answered, the air around him changed. It sank, the light sank, and even the sound sank with it. The invisible pressure that had shocked everyone during his battle with Selene returned, spreading across the central stage like the arrival of a bottomless sea.

A black sea appeared behind Ervin, vast and silent and impossibly deep. From within that sea rose the broken ancient gate, half submerged and covered in mysterious symbols that no one could fully read. The moment it appeared, the nine stars inside Orion's body flickered.

Ervin's voice rang across the stage.

"Pseudo Cosmic Path, Abyssal Origin Descent."

Boom!

The battlefield transformed completely. The star palace behind Orion still shone brightly, but the black sea behind Ervin seemed to drag at its light. The nine stars within Orion's body remained powerful, yet now every movement he made had to fight against the pressure of descent.

His star force did not vanish the way it had against Revona's Void Origin Realm. Instead, it sank. It grew heavier, harder to circulate, harder to release, and harder to change quickly.

Orion felt the difference at once, and his smile dimmed slightly.

"This path really is unpleasant."

Ervin replied calmly, "Your stars shine too brightly."

Orion clenched his fists. "Then try swallowing them."

He rushed forward again, and the battle grew grander than before. Orion's Nine Star Sovereign Body erupted with its full brilliance as he pushed all nine stars to their limit. He no longer relied on quick changes alone. Instead, he began combining several stars at once.

His First Star burned through the abyssal pull while his Second Star accelerated his movement. His Sixth Star deepened his pressure, and his Ninth Star anchored his authority. He crossed the sinking battlefield like a star refusing to fall.

Ervin answered with his black spear.

"Abyssal Origin Descent, First Depth Tide."

The black sea surged, and a wave of abyssal pressure rose from the ground to swallow half the stage. Orion strode through it with his body glowing brighter, though his speed visibly slowed. Ervin's spear lanced out from within the wave, silent and precise. Orion blocked with his fist.

Boom!

Starlight and abyssal force detonated against each other. Orion was pushed back three steps, while Ervin gave up only one.

Orion's eyes lit up again. "Good."

He gathered five stars into his arm.

"Nine Star Sovereign Body, Five-Star Heaven Breaker."

His fist shot forward, and Ervin raised his spear to meet it.

"Abyss Spear Art, Gate Shadow Thrust."

The thrust carried the shadow of the broken gate. It collided with Orion's fist, and the five-star force shuddered violently. For a moment the star power seemed on the verge of piercing through, but the gate's shadow dragged part of it downward and the attack lost its stability.

Orion gritted his teeth and changed once more, driving the Ninth Star into his fist at the final moment.

Boom!

The unstable attack exploded, and both men were hurled backward.

Orion landed with one knee briefly touching the ground while blood ran from his lips. His old injuries had torn open again. Starlight leaked from the cracks in his armor, and the nine stars within his body flickered unsteadily. Even so, his smile returned brighter than before.

Ervin's sleeve had been shredded, and a wound ran across his left shoulder. He regarded Orion with rare seriousness.

"You are injured more than you show."

Orion rose slowly. "And you are stronger than you look."

The audience was completely absorbed. No one dared call this an easy victory for either side. Orion was weakened, yet he was still forcing Ervin to fight in earnest.

Ervin's Abyssal Origin Descent was terrifying, yet Orion's Nine Star Sovereign Body refused to sink without a fight.

The black sea rose again, and the nine stars blazed in answer. Through the next several exchanges, the entire stage looked like a starry heaven straining to escape a bottomless abyss. Orion's punches birthed brilliant starbursts while Ervin's spear carved dark lines through the battlefield.

Each time Orion gathered his power, the broken gate pulled at it, and each time Ervin tried to bury the stars, Orion shifted his star force and erupted from a different angle.

At last, Orion stepped back. His breathing had turned rough, and blood ran down his chin once more. Yet his eyes shone with the same reckless brilliance he had shown against Revona.

"I suppose I only have one move left that can trouble you."

Ervin's grip tightened around his spear. "Starfall Extinction."

Orion smiled. "You saw it."

"I did."

"Then defend well."

The moment Orion spoke, the nine stars inside his body went still, and then they began to collapse inward. A terrible pressure radiated from his fist as the star palace behind him reappeared in a broken and desperate form.

The nine stars surrounding the palace shattered into streams of pure star essence and rushed into his arm. His body shook violently, several wounds reopened at once, and blood dripped onto the stage beneath his feet.

The Nine Star Court disciples fell silent. They knew what this technique had cost him against Revona, and now he was using it again while nowhere near fully recovered.

Orion's smile did not waver.

"This technique is still incomplete," he said. "But if I wait until it is perfect, I will never know how far it can go."

The star essence compressed around his fist.

"Starfall Extinction."

Orion vanished. He appeared before Ervin with his final fist already falling. The compressed star essence roared within that strike, layered and collapsing, with each layer built to erupt the moment the one before it was swallowed or broken.

This was the technique Orion had forged himself, the move that had driven Revona to use Return To Nothing. Even in his weakened state, it carried shocking destructive force.
