Chapter 454 The Battle Begins

The colossal form of Quetzalcoatl underwent a dramatic transformation, morphing into a towering humanoid figure of unparalleled majesty and power.

The creature stood at a towering height of 4.6 meters, with his neck extended into a long, sinuous column, crowned with a majestic head that retained the serpentine features of a predator.

His back, boasting six broad feathered wings, stretched out to their full extent while his hands had morphed into clawed appendages, each tipped with razor-sharp talons that glistened ominously.

As he stood tall and proud, his sleek physique radiated an aura of primal strength and authority, sending waves upon waves of pure mana pressure that weighed down on everyone like a mountain, making the more injured players fall to their knees or, worse, face first on the ground.

The transformation of Quetzalcoatl finally made every individual stop holding back, as one after another, every player used the best enhancement skills to get ready for what was to come.

In a matter of moments, wild auras came to life, a few far outshining the others, with the notable ones belonging to the likes of Odin using his trump card 'Yggdrasil's Embrace,' Killian using Vareiði Supremacy, Ra using Solar Ascendance to become a beacon of flames.

"He sure is fearless and eager for a fight," Venedikt said, seeing Fulgor standing in the sky, laughing in a childish voice while clapping his hands as he stared down at the Quetzalcoatl.

"Brother, Should I go all out," Andrei said, with somewhat of an eager look.

"Wait for a few minutes and let the numbers thin down," Alex said as he watched his summon transform into a bolt of lightning that bridged the distance and landed before the Quetzalcoatl.

Fulgor had a seven-headed hydra made of pure lightning at his back, showing that beneath his childish laughter and eagerness for battle, he had a sound head and was taking things seriously, or he was just too strong, and this was just him taking it easy.

Alex was really curious about what Fulgor was capable of because, after his stunt of phasing through the barrier by turning to pure lightning, he felt that he might have abilities similar to Eenel from his favorite manga.

Fulgor stopped his attack, seeing he was being ignored, and standing before the towering creature, began shouting, "Hey, hey, big guy," to gain the attention of Quetzalcoatl, who stood with inky black eyes roaming the area, looking at the surging aura of players.

After getting ignored, Fulgor dropped his arms and shoulder down as he stared at the Quetzalcoatl with pitched eyes, like waiting for him to look at him and seeing the sense every player was forced to drop their entire thought process and focus on him because to them it was strange and surprising, to say the least.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

"Well, he is a character," Andrei said, with a laugh loud enough for various figures to look in their direction.

In mere moments, close to ten players from weaker teams were killed, their bodies sliced to ribbons before they could even raise their weapons in defense.

"Do you think by doing this, you will get the mana cube?" Alex questioned, unbothered by the turn of events.

While Alex could have entered after the battle reached near its conclusion, he knew it wouldn't change much because without his presence, the battle against the Quetzalcoatl would have only gone smoothly, and figures like Magnus, Zeus, and others would have still given him trouble.

So it was best to enter early and use all the time he could to deal damage to the Quetzalcoatl when it was at its strongest to get the most points, and while it would not assure him victory, it would ensure a good battle.

Alex had grown stronger after the battle with the fallen Serphian, and the current situation was no different, as death loomed in the distance, and he had a decent sum to lose if he didn't do well.

"I always acquire what I want," Magnus said, appearing a few meters away from Alex, a playful grin on his face.

"Ven, I will leave them to you," Alex said, suggesting the protection of his teammate.

Alex surveyed the distance, observing several teams separating from the main group, but instead of joining the attackers, they circled around them, showing clear support for him and his team.

Among them were all three guilds associated with him, along with several others, who wanted to use the opportunity to get on the good side of his organization.

Vlad and Lady Rosalba were swift to engage against Zeus, while the rest also picked their targets, and while Alex didn't really need their help to do what he wanted, he did appreciate it.

Acknowledging guild leaders Aster, Hecate, and Vlad with a nod of appreciation, Alex then cast a final glance at the ongoing chaos before refocusing on Magnus and the crowd of renowned participants before him.

Positioning the four knives to hover behind him, Alex tightened his grip on his sword, and with a confident smile, he used the Tenebrous Shard Enclave, shrouding the surrounding hundred meters in a dome of pitch darkness.

Instantly, Alex sprang into action, commanding tendrils of darkness to come alive as his sword pulsed with the corrosive nature of darkness itself.

Meanwhile, Magnus wasted no time, wielding his arcane scepter to harness the power of crimson lightning, its glow piercing through the surrounding darkness like a guiding beacon.
