Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 1913: The Remaining Battles!

Damian attacked with a single sword, and the Second Depth Pressure split apart. A wound opened across Ervin’s chest, and he retreated several steps, blood falling onto the black sea beneath his feet.

The Sword God Palace disciples shouted with wild excitement.

But Ervin looked down at the wound, then raised his eyes. The broken gate behind him opened a little more.

”Abyssal Origin Descent.”

His voice was still calm.

”Gate of the Second Depth.”

Boom!

The gate opened, and a darkness deeper than the black sea appeared beyond it. The entire arena trembled. Damian’s Bleeding Sword Severance pressed forward, but the moment the Gate of the Second Depth opened, the abyss stopped retreating.

The black sea rose in a terrifying column behind Ervin, and a pressure far heavier than before descended onto Damian’s sword heaven.

The sword palace shook. The sword altar trembled. Even the empty throne above the sword heaven seemed to be pulled downward by the depth beyond the gate.

Ervin raised his spear.

”Second Depth Spear.”

The abyssal sea gathered around the spear tip.

”Sunken World.”

The spear thrust out, and a whole world seemed to sink behind that thrust.

Damian raised his sword with both hands.

”Sword Sovereign Heaven, Final Edict.”

The single sword before the empty throne descended.

”Throne Of The Only Sword.”

All sword lights vanished. The mountains of sword edges faded, the rivers of sword light disappeared, and the palace dimmed. Only Damian’s sword remained. One sword, one will, and one throne.

The entire Divine Realm stopped breathing.

Damian slashed. Ervin thrust. Throne Of The Only Sword met Sunken World.

The collision did not explode immediately. For one breath, the whole arena became still. Then the stage shattered.

Golden laws surged madly around the barrier as sword authority and abyssal depth tore through the center of the battlefield. Damian’s sword cut into the sinking world, splitting layer after layer of abyssal pressure.

Ervin’s spear pushed forward, forcing the sword line deeper and deeper into darkness. Every inch of the clash felt like a decision between two possible endings. If Damian’s sword cut one layer further, Ervin would fall, and if Ervin’s abyss sank the sword one breath longer, Damian would lose.

Both of them poured everything into the clash. Damian’s hand bled along the sword hilt, and Ervin’s chest wound tore open further. The broken gate behind Ervin groaned, and the empty throne behind Damian trembled. Neither retreated.

Crack!

The sword line cut through Sunken World, and the abyssal spear shadow split apart.

The Sword God Palace erupted in joy.

But Ervin did not stop. His eyes became deeper than ever before.

”Abyssal Origin Descent.”

The broken gate behind him opened to its widest point yet.

”Second Depth Spear.”

His voice was quiet, but it carried through the entire arena.

”Abyss Returns All Roads.”

The shattered Sunken World did not disappear. It returned, not as the same attack but as countless fragments of abyssal route gathering behind Damian’s sword line.

The paths Damian had already cut became roads leading back toward him, each one carrying a remnant of Ervin’s depth. Damian’s Final Edict had cut through the direct attack, but Ervin had hidden his last move inside the broken routes left behind by the clash itself.

Damian’s eyes changed. He realized it a fraction too late. He turned his sword, and the Throne Of The Only Sword cut backward, severing most of the returning abyssal roads.

But not all. One road remained, a narrow black path no wider than a spear tip that slipped through the edge of the sword’s final arc and appeared before Damian’s chest.

Ervin appeared at the end of that road. His spear stopped against Damian’s heart. At the same time, Damian’s sword stopped at Ervin’s throat. Both weapons reached their targets, but Ervin’s spear was one breath closer. One tiny margin. One impossible fraction.

The entire arena froze. Blood dripped from Damian’s lips, and blood also fell from Ervin’s throat where Damian’s sword edge had barely touched the skin. Neither moved.

For several breaths, the whole Divine Realm remained silent. Then Damian looked down at the spear touching his chest. His expression remained calm. After a long moment, he lowered his sword.

”I lost.”

The words were quiet, but they shook the entire Divine Realm.

Angelina Valerius announced the result immediately.

[Winner: Ervin.]

[Damian Voss Defeated.]

The screen above the arena updated.

[Battle Record Updated.]

[Ervin]

[Total Battles Fought: 22]

[Total Wins: 22]

[Battle Record Updated.]

[Damian Voss]

[Total Battles Fought: 22]

[Total Wins: 21]

For a breath, the Sword God Palace was completely silent. Then even there, many disciples slowly clenched their fists, not in shame but in pain and respect. Damian had not been crushed, and he had not been overwhelmed.

He had pushed Ervin to the very brink, forced him to open the Gate of the Second Depth wider than before, and nearly ended the battle with Throne Of The Only Sword.

The difference between victory and defeat had been so small that countless spectators were still unsure whether they had seen it clearly.

At the hidden forces watching Ervin, the silence was even heavier. Ervin had won, but his victory had come by the smallest possible margin.

Inside the Eternal Hourglass, Damian sheathed his sword slowly. Ervin lowered his spear. For the first time, a faint trace of exhaustion appeared on Ervin’s face.

Damian looked at him and said, ”You won.”

Ervin replied calmly, ”Your final sword attack was also very strong.”

Damian nodded once. ”I know but it wasn’t strong enough.”

Ervin gave a slight nod.

The transfer light descended and returned both of them to their pillars.

The second undefeated record had been broken.

Damian Voss had fallen, and only two participants still stood undefeated, Max Morgan and Ervin.

However, the moment the Divine Realm erupted into discussion about the final champion being decided between those two, Angelina Valerius raised her hand once again.

Her calm gesture immediately pressed down upon the chaotic noise spreading through the Eternal Hourglass, and the great screen above the arena shifted from the battle result to the complete ranking rules of the final competitive stage.

”The winner of the Cosmic Ascension Conference will not be decided by one undefeated pairing alone,” Angelina said, her voice clear and steady. ”This stage is still based on total victories.”

The crowd quieted. The defeated geniuses on the pillars also looked toward her.

Angelina continued, ”Max Morgan and Ervin remain undefeated, but several important battles among the top four have not yet taken place. Those battles will still affect the final number of victories, the ranking order beneath the champion, and the possibility of equal records.”

The four names appeared once again.

[Max Morgan]

[Ervin]

[Revona]

[Damian Voss]

Then the remaining matchups appeared beneath them.

[Ervin vs Revona]

[Max Morgan vs Damian Voss]

[Damian Voss vs Revona]

[Max Morgan vs Ervin]

The moment those four matchups appeared, the entire Divine Realm became heated again.

Angelina looked over the arena and said, ”Ervin must still face Revona. Max Morgan must still face Damian Voss. Damian Voss and Revona must also battle each other. After those battles, Max Morgan and Ervin will have their final confrontation.”

The great screen flashed with golden light.

”After all remaining battles are completed, the participant with the highest total number of wins will become the champion of the Cosmic Ascension Conference.”
