After dealing with the Pocket Black Hole conjured by Mason by fusing his Spatial Magic with his Gravity Controller Cheat Ability, Ervas glanced back at Mason who was already over 50 meters away from him, and through Warp and the use of his draconic wings to move the winds faster, he reached him after a few blinks through space!

"You won't be able to run away from me…" he said, horrifying Mason!

"Eh?! You dealt with my Pocket Black Hole so fast?!" asked Mason in disbelief, as he waved his hands furiously, unleashing more waves of gravitational forces!

"That won't work anymore," said Ervas expressionlessly, as he frowned slightly, and his crimson eyes gleamed eerily.

He combined his Void King Magic, the awakened version of his No-Attribute Magic, alongside his Psychokinesis, his Void Attribute Magic, and his Void Form and Void Embodiment Skills to expand his inner Void around him like a Domain, combining it alongside Phantasmagoric Aura to create the Void Aura he used before once more!

Ervas swiftly shaped this powerful Void Domain which also was packed with Psychokinesis, shaping it as a formless mass of almost endless and transparent void and mental energy!

He quickly shaped such force into large claws, unleashing his Unarmed Fighting Techniques and waving his claws, as the gravitational forces generated by Mason were destroyed within seconds!

"H-How comes he can simply swipe his hands and make my power dissipate like that?!" thought Mason, who was not able to completely tell what was really Ervas using to destroy his gravitational forces.

Ervas, however, decided to use this opportunity where Mason lowered his guard to attack!

He shaped the powers he had fused, his magic, psychokinesis, and his void form and embodiment to form a sharp, invisible spear, which he fired towards Mason, and by using Warp with it, the spear emerged just a few centimeters before him!

"Die." Said Ervas nonchalantly. He had many things to protect, things that he loved, and more, and wanted to kill Mason as fast as possible.

Mason clenched his teeth as he felt the enormous pressure of the spear made of void and psychokinesis that reached him within seconds of being created, as he hurriedly conjured more magic and gravity, using it together with Armor and Shield Techniques to generate a barrier to protect himself and the cowering Lucas behind him!

CLASH!

The purple-colored gravitational forces and the spatial forces converged together into sparking semi-transparent barriers that protected Mason from the powerful spear made by Ervas, however, the spear was incredibly strong and quickly began to break through his barrier!

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" roared Mason, becoming desperate as he kept infusing more and more mana into the barrier until the spear finally broke apart!

However, it came with an explosion that he didn't expect!

BOOM!

"Nnngh…?!"

The explosion began to shake even the spatial layers, distorting space and creating a strong shockwave that threw Mason and Lucas into the ground!

Ervas didn't lose a single second as he darted towards Mason by using his dragon wings and then opening his mouth just a few seconds from him!

Mason saw with horror as Ervas' smallmouth began to charge an enormous quantity of red and blue flames, unleashing a powerful dragon breath that resembled a storm of flames over him and Lucas!

"What kind of monster…?!" asked Mason in disbelief over Ervas countless abilities, as he was consumed by the flames!

BOOM!

An explosion ensued right after, as Ervas flames impacted Mason and Lucas and reached the ground, exploding loudly as they consumed the nearby flora and fauna within seconds, leaving an enormous crater!

This was the might of Ervas, a three-year-old boy!

Mason unleashed his powers to his very limits, constantly conjuring barriers over and over again as he was pushed down by the powerful storm of flames, hitting the ground, and gnashing his teeth in anger, he wanted to live… at all costs!

Lucas quickly fell into desperation as well, finally deciding to aid his companion as he summoned a spirit of every attribute except Death and No-Attribute, as the Spirits took the shape of large barriers, sacrificing themselves for the two to survive!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each Artificial Spirit that Lucas created through his Spiritualist Skill began to explode after barely resisting the flames, even the fire attribute artificial spirit or the water attribute artificial spirit were simply not enough!

However, Lucas didn't care, as he kept pushing himself to his very limits, constantly conjuring more artificial spirits alongside Mason's barriers!

The powerful dragon breath dissipated after a few seconds, as Ervas glanced at the large crater he created down below.

"I might have gone a bit too much- Oh, they still live… Alright then," he said without even getting shocked, as dozens of sharp bones began to grow out of his body, quickly making thousands of them within seconds!

Mason and Lucas were gasping for air as they couldn't believe they somehow survived the Elder Dragon-level breath attack from Ervas.

Although because he went all out there, his throat became sore, and he wasn't able to use his breath attack for the next few minutes until it was to finally regenerate completely.

Unlike Veronica, Ervas had a physical and living body, which came with a bunch of weaknesses that he had to take care of. For example, just as it was stated earlier, by using too much breath attack and going above the limit of his little body, his throat would get sore and painful, so he wasn't able to unleash such breath attack in some time.

However, it wasn't as if he was left without more tricks.

Mason and Lucas quickly tried to get up, as they felt the monstrous presence of Ervas approaching them as fast as possible, in a second, he suddenly appeared right above them by just a few meters, glaring at them with his glowing crimson eyes.

"H-He's here…!" said Mason.

"Ervas, right? P-Please, let's not resolve this through fighting! I know they offended you but… we can amend things! R-Right, Mason? We don't need to kill each other pointlessly!" said Lucas.

"Lucas, what are you talking about?! He's a literal monster! Did you see what he did there?! Do you think you can reason with someone like that?! The only thing I get when I see him is goosebumps! He's worse than any demon I have ever seen!" said Mason, the presence he felt so disgusting was Ervas Guidance, which was almost the complete opposite of Mason's entire mentality, making him see Ervas as someone disgusting, monstrous, chaotic, and even aberrant… this also applied with Veronica.

"W-What are you talking about?!" asked Lucas, he was not able to feel the same thing as Mason and was becoming very confused.

Ervas flew towards them and quickly heard what they were talking about.

"Killing each other? The only ones getting killed here are you," said Ervas, who had no intentions of dying today.

He quickly controlled the large mass of white bones floating all around his body and enhancing their durability and core through the power of Anir's Bone Marrow, generating a storm of sharp, blade-like bones that he threw towards Mason and Lucas ruthlessly!

"Lucas, watch out!" cried Mason, creating countless barriers of gravitational forces and barely managing to change the direction that the bones flew towards by a pinch!

However, many bones began to pierce and slash through his body, slipping through his defenses!

"Nnnaggaaggh…!"

"MASON!!!"
