The Eastern Dragon flew towards the cloud at a very fast pace. Under everyone’s gaze, the Eastern Green Dragon created a hole through the clouds and went beyond the clouds.

However, the Western Dragon did not chase after the Eastern Dragon. Aditya stared at the sky and waited to see what Arturo wanted to do.

The next second, an intense bright blue light pierced the dark clouds and reached the earth. The bright light was so intense that anyone within 100 km was able to see this light.

𝙍𝙊𝘼𝙍

Letting out another thunderous Roar, Arturo descended on Aditya at lightning speed. His whole body was covered in blue flames. As he flew down, his body left a blue streak behind.

Seeing this, Aditya’s Dragon senses flared up; as if trying to warn him about the potential danger coming from the Eastern Dragon.

Aditya briefly glanced at the list of passive skills and the Innate skill he was currently using. Among all of his skills, there was one certain skill that he couldn’t use according to his will. And that passive skill was 𝐒o𝐮𝐥 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐳e.

Seeing that Aditya is not doing anything to counter his attack or defend himself, Arturo suddenly felt a little bit suspicious in his heart. But that did not stop him there.

‘If you think that you’re strong enough to take this attack without using any skills or artifact, then I will be disappointed to know that my opponent is an idiot.’ Arturo thought in his mind. Strangely enough, Arturo did not want his attack to end Aditya just like that as he can tell that this man had so much more to offer.

It’s not every day that he meets someone like Aditya with the power and potential to end his kill. Their battle has just started. It would be a shame if their battle just ended just like that.

Scott, Josh, and other Istarin and Echo Dominion Empire troops saw the Eastern Dragon smashing at the Western Dragon.

What followed was a loud explosion that send shockwaves in every direction and earthquake to take place.

𝘽oooooooooom

With the shockwave, a cold frost energy spread everywhere. As the shockwave traveled in every direction, the frost energy completely froze everything in its path. Nothing was spread whether it was trees, animals, insects, rocks, stones, or rivers. Whatever came in contact with the Cold Frost energy which was released due to the blue flame, instantly froze.

Watching the destruction taking place, Josh and Scott gulped and thought. ‘Fortunately, we are very far away from them otherwise, just this shockwave would have been enough to end us.’

“Did we win?” The Echo Nexus Empire’s soldiers were very happy at this moment. There is no way the enemy King would be still alive after taking such a powerful attack.

Or….At least that’s what most soldiers thought in their minds.

However, Arturo didn’t look too happy. He calmly walked out of the crater that formed as a result of his attack. At the very last moment, Aditya suddenly disappeared. Arturo didn’t take long to figure out that Aditya had managed to teleport.

𝘿𝙖mm𝙞𝙩

Arturo was extremely frustrated at this moment. He was very angry. The battle was just getting started but his opponent had to flee.

‘I didn’t know Aditya can use teleportation skills.’ Even if he knew about this, there is nothing that he could have done to stop Aditya from teleporting away.

Arturo ended up slightly injuring himself as a result. This is why he was so angry. When Aditya teleported away, he couldn’t stop himself in time and ended up hitting the earth at full speed.

“Now what should I do?”

Meanwhile,

“Let’s escape.”

“But…”

“Don’t say any word. Our lives are more important.”

Like Billy and Steve, a few other small groups of soldiers managed to flee in the darkness of the night without anyone noticing them.

In the Echo Dominion Empire’s territory,

“Scott, where is His Majesty? I can’t see him anymore.” Josh asked.

“I am here.”

Josh and Scott almost jumped in fright as they heard Aditya’s voice behind them.

“Your Majesty, what are you doing here?” Scott asked while looking completely surprised.

“I teleported back to the Dragon palace before Arturo’s attack would hit me. Then I switched places with one Dragonian to return here.” Aditya explained as if what he did wasn’t a big deal. But others were completely shocked hearing what the Istarin Emperor was shocked. Their jaws almost fell to the ground.

Aditya’s human body started to transform into the body of a Divine Dragon. “Arturo will sense my presence. I can’t stay here. I have to end this battle.” Saying that Aditya flew off to the sky and headed in Arturo’s direction to continue their battle.

Arturo was about to leave when he faintly sensed Aditya’s presence. At first, he thought he couldn’t believe it. But with each second, the presence became more apparent.

“So he didn’t just run away?” Arturo was appreciating Aditya for not running away like a coward.

Meanwhile, the Echo Nexus troops saw dark clouds containing Crimson lightning over their heads. Seeing this, everyone had some doubts in their hearts.

‘Aditya is busy fighting the commander, how can he have time to attack us?’ That’s what’s what more soldiers thought in his mind.

However, contrary to their wishes and expectations, the next second, countless Crimson lightning bolts started raining down on them.

𝘾r𝙖𝙘𝙠

𝘽oooom

𝘽𝙖n𝙜

𝐀𝐇….

“𝐒omeone 𝐬𝐚ve me.”

“𝐑𝐮n”

The army of 1 million became chaotic. The soldiers abandoned their posts and began to run here and there; trying to escape the Crimson lightning. Even the Peak 4th-order cultivators weren’t spread.

Multiple Crimson lightning bolts hit the Peak 4th-order soldiers and ended their lives. Some lucky ones did manage to survive by using their artifacts or weapons or by sacrificing other soldiers.

Within a few seconds, more than ten thousand troops has been killed by Aditya even though he was more than 20 kilometers away. Using Crimson lighting from such a far distance consumed more Mana than usual. This is why Aditya never uses Crimson Lightning in this manner.

But in the current situation, it was necessary for him to take such steps to defeat Arturo.

‘Here it comes.’ Aditya thought as he charged at Arturo while wrapping his entire body within Crimson Flame.

『𝘿𝙞n𝙜! 𝙎o𝙪l 𝘽l𝙖𝙯e 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙘olle𝙙 eno𝙪𝙜𝙝 enem𝙮’𝙨 𝙨o𝙪l𝙨 𝙩o re𝙖𝙘𝙝 100%.』

𝘽ooom

Aditya experienced a huge boost in his powers. His speed suddenly exploded. Arturo widened his eyes watching this.

‘What happened? Suddenly he feels different.’ A cold sweat rolled down Arturo’s neck as he stared at the Crimson Dragon who was charging at him. He could feel it, the current Aditya was as strong as him. In fact, in some areas, Arturo felt Aditya was superior to him. Aditya had a huge mana reserve. He can keep throwing attacks at him without getting tired.

“Not good!!!” Arturo realized at the speed Aditya was currently moving, it would be nearly impossible to stop him. Also, he was already slightly injured but Aditya wasn’t. This would make a big difference in their strength.

The Eastern Dragon took a deep breath and then opened its mouth. A blue ball of energy started to form in its mouth. He then fired a blue beam of frost energy at Aditya.

𝐅ro𝐬𝐭 𝐁re𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢n𝐠

Aditya who was charging at Arturo with his whole body covered in Crimson flame was met with a blue beam of frost energy. Instead of dodging, the Dragon Monarch took the attack head one.

𝘽ooom

The blue beam wasn’t enough to stop him from charging. It did slow down his speed. He invested more mana to increase the temperature of his Crimson flame and continued to force himself forward while taking the blue beam.

At the same time, the sky strangely began to brighten. This caused everyone to look up at the sky. But Arturo was too busy firing the blue beam at Aditya. He refused to believe that Aditya can keep taking his attack and continue charging forward. He was determined to stop him with his attack.

More than ten thousand different colors of lightning bolts started gathering in one single point. The Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet colors lightning bolts started to fuse to form something even stronger and greater.

𝙀nr𝙖𝙜e𝙙 𝙇𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩n𝙞n𝙜 𝙎𝙥ell

𝘾r𝙖𝙘𝙠

Just like before Arturo sensed something dangerous above his head. He stopped firing the blue beam and glanced up. The last thing that he saw before being struck by a powerful white bolt of lightning was a bright flash of light.

𝘽oooooooooooooooom

Everyone gasped seeing the power of the white lightning bolt. Some even thought that this was the end of Arturo Travis.

A moment later, as things calmed down, Aditya landed on the ground and looked at Arturo. The lightning bolt had forced Arturo to return to his original form. As his Dragon form wasn’t his original form, rather it was a Dragon morphing skill that he gained due to the 𝐌𝐚n𝐭𝐥e of 𝐃r𝐚𝐠on.

Under all the ice, dust, pebbles, and debris, Arturo was lying on the ground. 𝐌𝐚n𝐭𝐥e of 𝐃r𝐚𝐠on had been torn apart. The Artifact was severely damaged by the white lightning bolt.

Arturo’s face was completely covered in blood. His clothes were torn apart. The skin on his chest has been completely burned black. He was bleeding heavily. His Aura was getting weaker with each second.

“I guess the battle is over.” Aditya was about to deactivate his passive skills when he heard a sinister and dark voice.

『𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 m𝙖𝙙e 𝙮o𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙞n𝙠 𝙩𝙝e b𝙖𝙩𝙩le 𝙞𝙨 over? 𝙄 𝙖m no𝙩 𝙙𝙮𝙞n𝙜 𝙝ere 𝙖lone. 𝙄 𝙖m 𝙜o𝙞n𝙜 𝙩o 𝙙r𝙖𝙜 𝙮o𝙪 w𝙞𝙩𝙝 me.』

𝟑!

Aditya looked at the place where Arturo was previously lying. The Arturo that was lying on the ground disappeared. Aditya sensed Arturo’s Aura behind him.

‘Not good’ Aditya knew that he cannot react in time to dodge or counter back.

«𝘿e𝙩erm𝙞n𝙖𝙩𝙞on of 𝙖 𝙆𝙞n𝙜»

『«𝘿e𝙩erm𝙞n𝙖𝙩𝙞on of 𝙖 𝙆𝙞n𝙜» – 𝘼l𝙥𝙝𝙖 𝙆𝙞n𝙜 𝙘l𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙝ol𝙙er 𝙞𝙨 on 𝙩𝙝e ver𝙜e of 𝙙𝙮𝙞n𝙜, w𝙞𝙩𝙝 eno𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙙e𝙩erm𝙞n𝙖𝙩𝙞on 𝙖n𝙙 w𝙞ll𝙥ower, ‘𝘿e𝙩erm𝙞n𝙖𝙩𝙞on of 𝙖 𝙆𝙞n𝙜’ 𝙘𝙖n be 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞v𝙖𝙩e𝙙.

From the corner of his eyes, he could see a black spear aimed towards his head. Aditya knew that he needed to survive only for 3 seconds. Everything was happening too fast for him. Arturo’s bloody smile disappeared when he saw Aditya’s head and his body turning into a bolt of crimson lightning before the tip of the spear could even touch his head.

𝘾r𝙞m𝙨on 𝙇𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩n𝙞n𝙜 𝘽l𝙞n𝙠

Arturo couldn’t land the final blow. The Crimson lightning bolt turned into seven lightning bolts and spread in seven directions.

𝟐!

Arturo felt very helpless. He thought he could take Aditya with him but now he found that his opponent had another hidden move. He only had less than two seconds to live. It was impossible for him to survive at this point. Nothing in this world would be able to save his life at this point. He had traded his remaining life force to buy himself 3 seconds of 200% super boost.

He could have used the teleportation crystal in his storage ring to retreat and fight Aditya after preparation. But he was so into this battle that he didn’t wish to retreat.

‘I guess this is it for me.’ Arturo closed his eyes.

『𝙃owever, 𝙄 w𝙞ll 𝙨𝙩𝙞ll rem𝙖𝙞n 𝙏𝙝e 𝙐nbe𝙖𝙩en 𝘽𝙖rb𝙖r𝙞𝙘 𝙆𝙞n𝙜 𝙩𝙞ll 𝙙e𝙖𝙩𝙝. 𝙄 won’𝙩 𝙙𝙞e 𝙖𝙩 𝙮o𝙪r 𝙝𝙖n𝙙.』

𝟏!

Arturo opened his eyes. The look on his face had completely changed. He had a crazy smile on his face. Aditya could tell that Arturo was about to do something crazy. He began to move away from Arturo.

『𝘼 𝙎𝙩ron𝙜 𝙒𝙖rr𝙞or 𝙙oe𝙨 no𝙩 fe𝙖r 𝘿e𝙖𝙩𝙝. 𝙈𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝e e𝙮e𝙨 of 𝙩𝙝e 𝙘ow𝙖r𝙙 never f𝙞n𝙙 re𝙨𝙩 even 𝙞n 𝙨lee𝙥.』

The three artifacts that Arturo was wearing suddenly began to glow very brightly.

𝟎!

Compared to previous times, a powerful golden ball appeared. The golden ball was more than 500 meters big in size. It was so big, that the golden ball could be seen from the other end of the Echo Nexus Empire. As the golden ball continued to grow in size, Aditya who was in the form of lightning bolts moved as fast as his body would allow.

𝘽oooooooooooooooom

And it happened. The explosion was so big that everything within 25 km was instantly wiped out. The Echo Nexus troops were caught in the explosion and almost all of the soldiers were instantly killed.

A large mushroom cloud rose in the sky. The view of the starry sky had been blocked by a large cloud of dust. Fortunately, Aditya and his army were just out of the range. It could be said that Aditya and his troops barely managed to escape the explosion.

Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
