Chapter 357: Dio vs. darkai

Mad Woman Angela suddenly mocked Zielong "You must be extremely stupid to say that"

Hearing this Zielong quickly snapped "As if you are someone smart yourself and don't speak to me you don't have any qualification loser!"

Immediately Angela was enraged "F*ck you! Zielong at least I know that this year's Adventure Competition has different rules than the last one!"

Zielong was taken aback he then quickly stood up and went to his group and went to the resting room as he asked his brother about the changes of the rule.

He was then shocked that the rules this time wouldn't immediately eliminate an Adventure Group but actually give them a chance to prove themselves.

Every Adventure Group that joined the tournament would be able to battle those that they weren't paired up yet to truly know what their rankings are.

That means every Adventure Group would be able to battle the Heavenly Sword Sect at least once.

After hearing this Zielong became excited of course he still dashed back towards his seat so that he wouldn't miss the opportunity to watch the ongoing fight against the Dark Triad and the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Back on the stage the fight were getting more intense but it wasn't to the point where both team used their trump card just yet.

The only ones who have gone all out was Monster Swordsman Dio and the Youngest Brother of the Dark Triad Darkai.

Roar! After the 29th strike Dio's eyes became blood red as he lets out a hoarse roar.

He was now at his limit and yet he still failed to deal a fatal hit all of his attacks were either dodged or block it was totally a bad matchup but he still tries to goes on he doesn't want to be the first one to fall.

Also if he fall then the reputation of the Heavenly Sword Sect would also fall with him so was determined to win.

On the other hand Darkai was also facing a great pressure if it isn't for his unique bloodline he would have already been disqualified.

He couldn't even used his combat technique anymore as his hands feels numb after blocking some of Dio's strike.

His speed was his greatest advantage together with his movement technique called Graceful Fox Dance which involves moving around in a strange manner.

Not only he could confused his opponent with his mysterious movement his body became extremely flexible after practicing this technique.

Seeing Dio's look he realised that he was close to winning just as he thought he was now going to win Dio quickly moved and with a leap he slashed his sword towards him.

Darkai quickly dodged but the attack caused the arena to tremble as a crack appeared on the stage.

But Dio's hand burst out as blood seeps out from them seeing this Jarius expression which was already solemn now contains anxiousness.

But he just couldn't call the decision to disqualify Dio as this would surely hurt him more than what he is experiencing now.

Dio let's out a shout as his hands were now bleeding with lots of blood but he still grits his teeth and once again attacked.

Darkai once again dodged the attack but the 31th attack actually created a powerful gust of wind that manage to scrape Darkai's armor.

Darkai expression under his helmet was extremely solemn he knew he shouldn't be careless now but actually need to increased his cautiousness.

Every strike Dio make right now is too powerful for him to take one blow would sure take him out even if he managed to block them.

Blergh! Dio spat out a mouthful of blood as his entire aura became extremely weak he was also pale.

He knew he couldn't even lift a finger right now causing him to feel despair he don't want to lose he wanted to still strive forward.

His burning desire to win together with his tenacious personality caused a unique phenomenon as his body started to buzz as an extremely powerful sword intent burst out from him.

The others that were fighting stops and looks at his direction even Jarius was extremely shocked by this.

This was a realm he achieved via accident when fighting Zielong and ultimately the reason he won.

Dragon Spear Zielong who have already returned in his seat who was watching with interest suddenly stood up.

An expression of utter shock could be seen in his face this was too familiar to him it was a realm called 'Man And Intent As One'.

This could only be achieved via enlightenment or a lucky encounter this is something he sought after his fight against Jarius.

Even though Dio managed to achieve this realm his body was still not in a great condition in fact he couldn't even move right now but his powerful desire also moved his monster companion.

Skree!

Awoo!

The two monsters let's out their cry as they sends their strength to their master as a powerful aura burst out from him.

Feeling the strength coursing into him Dio did not became happy but instead became solemn his desire to win burned much stronger.

What Killer and Vanquisher have done to him was extremely touching as lending their strength into him in their sword form would actually harm them especially since he was training in Continuous Monster Rampage.

Darkai immediately felt a chill running down his spine as a feeling of doom seeps into his very soul.

He couldn't help but think 'Will I lose me a descendant of a higher being would actually lose!'

Boom! A powerful aura burst out from him as it became increasingly stronger as it actually matches Dio's aura.

'I am a descendant of a higher being I will never lose to the likes of this man' His pride or more accurately the pride of his bloodline ignited his hidden potential causing a tsunami of dark energy to burst out of his body.

Darkai took out his helmet as his black hair became white as he radiates a devilish aura his eyes became scarlet red he now have a bad boy look as compared to earlier.

His short hair became longer as it actually reached the floor his eyes lock on Dio as Dio locks to his.

They have the same thought 'I won't lose to you!!!'.

Boom! Both of them immediately charged towards each other leaving behind afterimages because of what happened earlier Dio's momentum reset so he leaps and shouted "Monstrous Strike!"

"Dark Vortex!"

Boom! With their strikes colliding another explosion occured not only it was deafening the power could clearly be seen as the air around them cracks.

Both of them fought each other with all they got knowing that this fight leads them towards victory and an inspiration.

While Dio's strike were getting more powerful so does Darkai's.

The stronger Dio gets the more his bloodline became active as if finally awakening from his slumber.

Shadowslash who was watching from above knew that in terms of potential Dio would never match up to Darkai even with his accomplishment in achieving 'Man and Intent As One'.

While Dio might have a powerful technique it has one fatal flaw it needs to build momentum without it the power behind the attacks would just be considered above average not too nor too great.

Darkai on the other hand could keep his strength and with the more Dio gets powerful the more he would be.

While Dio needs momentum he just need to attack and the power behind it would be on par on Dio's attacks that already built a momentum.

Not only that what Darkai expertise in is his speed not power because the two of them were just too caught up in the heat of their battle he did not realised it.

Shadowslash on the other hand saw such an obvious sign as every time the two of them clashed it was Darkai who attacked first.

When the two was finally covered in cuts and holes they immediately distanced themselves as Dio was now using his final attack he knew after this he would stay in the hospital for at least two to three years.

He forces himself beyond his limit and even his two monsters were now on their limit as cracks started to form in their sword form clearly indicating a serious injury in them.

"Let's finish this once and for all!" He shouted with all his might he then leaps towards Darkai and shouted.

"33rd Strike Monster Swallowing The Heaven!" This was the evolved version of the Monstrous Strike.

"So be it" Seeing Dio on his last leg Darkai knew this would be their final fight of the day which disappoints him a bit.

"Divine Dark Vortex!" Using his newly evolved version of his most powerful attack Darkai also lunged himself towards Dio.

Boom! The powerful explosion shook off the whole arena thankfully in the last second Shadowslash quickly strengthened the arena's overall defence so that the stage wouldn't be destroyed.
