That hand covered an area of several miles, like a collapsing mountain.
Ancient One raised her hand, and golden magic light condensed into a giant shield, blocking above the two of them.
The giant hand slapped against the shield, emitting a deafening roar; the shield vibrated violently, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared.
Mavuika moved.
He turned into a stream of golden-red light, rushing out from beneath the shield, heading straight for the giant hand.
Thousand Blazing Suns carved a dazzling trail of light through the darkness, slashing at the giant hand's wrist.
The blade cut into the darkness like it was cutting through butter, and golden Fire surged from the blade, spreading upward along Dormammu's arm.
Dormammu let out an angry roar, and that giant hand began Burning, with golden Fire leaping in the darkness like countless fireflies.
"What is this?" There was a hint of fear in Dormammu's voice. "Why can't my darkness extinguish it?"
Mavuika hovered in the air, Thousand Blazing Suns held horizontally before him.
"This is just the beginning."
He rushed up again.
This time, he didn't just slash; he injected three streams of power within his body into the sword simultaneously.
Thousand Blazing Suns emitted a blinding golden light, and the Fire patterns on the blade moved wildly as if they had come to life.
The entire sword turned into a golden pillar of light, held in his hand like he was gripping a Burning Sun.
Mavuika raised the sword and slashed down.
A golden sword energy flew from the blade, growing larger and brighter, finally transforming into a curtain of light that spanned the sky.
That curtain of light was like a giant guillotine, cleaving toward Dormammu's body.
Dormammu raised his hands to block.
The golden sword energy slashed against his arms; darkness and Fire collided, erupting with blinding light and a deafening roar.
A deep wound was slashed into Dormammu's arm, and dark matter surged from the wound, flowing like blood.
Dormammu let out a painful roar, and the entire Dark Dimension trembled.
"Impossible—how could you possibly deal DMG to me?"
Mavuika didn't answer; he raised his sword again, the power within him surging wildly like three Beasts trapped in a cage, finally breaking free from their shackles.
He felt a long-lost, hearty pleasure.
For hundreds of years, his power had been growing, yet he couldn't find an opponent against whom he could fully unleash it.
He was like a Beast trapped in a cage, possessing immense strength but only able to pace back and forth inside the cage.
Now, the cage was open.
"Come again!" Mavuika shouted, his voice filled with excitement.
He turned into a stream of light, constantly weaving and slashing around Dormammu.
Every sword strike left deep wounds on Dormammu's body, and golden Fire burned within Dormammu's wounds, like poison, causing corrosion to his darkness.
Dormammu counterattacked wildly, waving his giant hands to slap, summoning dark energy to bombard, and even attempting to trap Mavuika in a vortex of darkness.
But Mavuika's speed was too fast, his Fire too bright, and his sword too sharp; every attack was dodged, blocked, or counter-slashed by him.
Ancient One stood in the distance, her hands constantly forming seals, golden magic light surging from her palms, transforming into countless energy chains that entangled Dormammu's limbs, restricting his movements.
Her magic was not as violent as Mavuika's power, but it was precise and effective, with each chain perfectly locking onto the joints where Dormammu had the most difficulty exerting force.
Dormammu was slowed for an instant by the chains, and in that instant, Mavuika seized the opportunity.
He flew in front of Dormammu's chest, gripped the sword with both hands, and concentrated all three streams of power at the tip of the sword.
Thousand Blazing Suns emitted unprecedented light, like a true Sun—no, brighter than the Sun, because this was the power of three Suns converged.
Mavuika thrust forward.
The tip of the sword pierced into Dormammu's chest, and golden Fire gushed out from the wound, unstoppable like a volcanic eruption.
Dormammu's body began Burning from the inside, and those devoured souls screamed, struggled, and then dissipated within the Fire.
Dormammu let out an Earth-shattering scream, and the entire Dark Dimension was collapsing.
The dark energy he controlled began to spiral out of control, raging in the dimension like a storm.
But this also stirred his ferocity; he roared, and the massive dark energy, with him as the center, roared outward in all directions.
Mavuika held Thousand Blazing Suns horizontally before him to defend, but was still sent flying backward by the impact of that terrifying energy.
He let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
As expected of the lord of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu's offensive let Mavuika taste the sensation of being injured for the first time in a long while.
Ancient One formed seals with her hands, constructing a golden barrier in front of her, blocking the rampaging energy.
At the same time, she reached out and pointed toward Mavuika, and the same golden energy transformed into a barrier shield, enveloping Mavuika inside.
Mavuika raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, laughed excitedly, and rushed up again.
He pulled out his sword, and the Fire on the blade surged, even surpassing Dormammu's massive body.
Mavuika roared, gripped the hilt with both hands, and slashed down with all his might.
Dormammu frantically mobilized dark energy to defend, but that terrifying dark energy, which could almost destroy Earth, was cleanly and decisively slashed open by Mavuika like a hot knife through butter.
The great sword's momentum remained undiminished, and in Dormammu's shocked gaze, it struck his body.
"Puchi!"
The dark energy around Dormammu, under the scorching of Mavuika's giant Fire sword, quickly Melted and Vaporized like winter snow.
Dormammu's massive body, which was almost comparable to a Planet, was directly pierced by this sword and split into two halves.
But Dormammu, who had long since merged with the Dark Dimension, would not find even this level of DMG fatal.
Under the rapid replenishment of dark energy, Dormammu's split body quickly gathered and healed.
Before long, Dormammu had returned to his original state.
Although the injury was not fatal, and could not even be considered a severe wound, being split in half by a sword still made Dormammu very furious.
He roared and rushed toward Mavuika, just wanting to crush this insect that had made him so disheveled.
But the result naturally did not go as Dormammu wished; he did not have the absolute strength to crush the opponent, and Mavuika was no insect.
Mavuika's Fire was even quite restraining toward Dormammu; his dark energy almost collapsed at the slightest touch when facing Mavuika's Fire.
If not for the fact that he was in the Dark Dimension, where he had an extremely powerful home-field advantage as a being merged with it, with dark energy that was almost inexhaustible, otherwise, the scene at this moment would likely be completely different.
He would likely be completely suppressed by Mavuika, turning into a one-sided situation.
Dormammu naturally found this result hard to accept; he did not believe, nor would he admit, that as the great lord of the Dark Dimension, he could not gain an advantage in battle?
