Chapter 169 Ralyks Vs Jer’ard [Pt 1]

"UWAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

As the Jer'ard, Dragon Commander of the Empire, screamed at the very top of his lungs, the atmosphere changed instantly.

His humanoid form was covered in bluish purple energy as he swiftly transformed—no, reverted—to his original state.

~VWUUUUUSSHHH!~

The form of a Dragon!

His scaly body was colossal, and it displayed nothing short of monstrous majesty.

However, the expression on the Dragon's face showed nothing like that.

It was a look of absolute terror!

"UWOOOAAAHHHHHH!!!"

Dark purple energy gathered in his mouth as it sent the incredible blast of energy straight towards the one who called himself Ralyks.

~BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!~

The entire area trembled as the blast neared him, completely obliterating everything around.

Magic Crystals turned to dust, and the environment shook violently as it welcomed the destructive darkness that was Jer'ard's Dragon Breath.

It was invincible... or so it was supposed to be.

In an instant, the blast of dark energy hit a wall that stopped it dead in its tracks.

It was an absolute barrier that had not even a single dent despite taking on the whole wrath of the Dragon.

'H-he has that pesky defense too?! In that case...!'

Jer'ard decided to simply use the same trick he utilized on the one who fought him before.

He would simply transport the blast straight in front of his enemy, bypassing his defense altogether.

~BOOOOOOOM!~

The second volley of destruction arrived.

However...

'W-what is this?!'

His Spatial Magic wasn't working!

The portal he was trying to connect to the very face of his opponent was not working!

Jer'ard had been using Spatial Magic all his life, and he had never encountered this problem before.

Sure, he made sure never to seriously use his Magic against a more powerful Spatial Magic user, but other than that...

... His attacks always hit!

So what was the problem?!

'N-no way...!' It only took Jer'ard a few seconds to figure it all out.

'It's the space... the space around him is too warped! It's too saturated with power that my own power gets broken down and overwhelmed before it can fully manifest!'

It was just like with Adonis' Divine Sword, but...

'... Isn't this stronger?!'

Jer'ard was panicking now.

He had no way to attack this guy as long as his barrier was active, and he couldn't bypass the barrier thanks to the overwhelming power he wielded.

What could he do?!

'Aha!' His eyes went to the weakened ones that Ralyks came to protect.

Surely, if he attacked them, or even took a few as hostages, then it was possible to turn the tides of battle in his favor.

It felt strange—no, downright unnatural—that a human-looking fellow should make him feel this way.

Jer'ard could not accept it.

"I REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT!"

With a mighty roar, he mustered all of his power and raised its mouth in the air.

~VWUUUUUUMMMM!!~

Something began to form above it.

Something dangerous.

The air cackled with power and the Mana Crystals that hung around began to react to the power being displayed in the air.

Everything was rattling, and the entire 99th Floor shook just from the pressure.

But one man remained calm despite it all.

"This isn't good." He said.

Jer'ard heard that small whisper and presumed it to mean the man had been pushed to a corner.

'Hahahaha! With this, I'll destroy everything! Let's see if you can protect yourself and your friends with that power!'

The entire 99th Floor was going to be leveled by him.

It was going to be a waste, since he still had mining left to do, but Jer'ard didn't mind.

If he could exterminate this being—this threat to the hierarchy of the world—then it was worth it.

The Dragons were the strongest.

That COULD NOT change!

"I can't allow you to keep this up. The Alliance needs those resources, after all."

The moment Ralyks said this, he stretched out one hand—the one that didn't possess a blade.

"Let's try this, shall we?" He sounded amused... like he was smiling.

Jer'ard did not—could not—comprehend him.

He only knew one thing.

The current concentration of dark spatial energy that had formed a massive sphere of unparalleled destruction could not be stopped.

It would complete its task and eviscerate everything in its path.

'DIEEEEEEEEE!!!'

The Dragon Commander aimed it at his adversary, knowing that even if he blocked it, the impact would destroy everything.

It was already too late!

This... this was really the end.

"[Absolute Spatial Magic||Black Hole]"

Suddenly, in an unprecedented gust of energy, the impossible was birthed.

A spatial phenomenon that defied expectations.

Thanks for reading!

I really hope you enjoyed the chapter!

It's really satisfying to see the Dragon get so worked up, especially after how composed he was at the start.
