Chapter 1823 1823. Completing the Challenge
The Primordial Lycan stared at Jack warily. It could sense that Jack's power had grown stronger.
"Still have any more buff skill?" Jack asked. He was floating in the air and waiting for the Primordial Lycan to make its moves.
The Primordial Lycan answered by opening its mouth. A large torrent of black air poured out of its mouth.
The black torrent engulfed Jack. This black air had deteriorating properties. It was similar to the dark energies inside the eldritch beholder. Aside from receiving damage, those who came into contact with this black air would have their equipment's durability decreased. Their defensive values would also be greatly reduced.
Jack was protected by the Sphere of Tiamat, though. The golden aura from the War God Manifestation further reduced the damage received by the sphere.
"Well, I take it you have run out of buff skill, then," Jack said. He then shot downward.
The Primordial Lycan didn't see Jack bursting out from under the torrent of black air still pouring out of its mouth. Its breath attack had strong pressure. Normal opponents would be tumbling inside the torrent without being able to get out, but Jack's Sphere of Tiamat under the enhancement of War God Manifestation easily resisted the torrent's pressure.
Jack used mana concealment to mask his approach as he did an uppercut to the Lycan's lower jaw using his sword. The upperslash caught the Primordial Lycan in surprise. Its head was jerked upward from the blow, forcing its breath attack to stop.
Jack then unleashed his sword art at the Primordial Lycan's giant body. Its Tough Body skill might have boosted its defense, but Jack's swords enhanced by the golden light easily penetrated the defense and dealt full damage.
The Primordial Lycan recovered from Jack's surprise attack and swung its saber down. The saber swirled with dark energy as it slashed.
The Primordial Lycan had pretty much exhausted all its skills trying to catch Jack. Even if Jack lost his buff, he figured he should still be able to win, but he didn't plan to prolong this battle.
"Are you going to use it?" Peniel asked.
"Yeah. Let's see how strong it is," Jack said.
He didn't get the chance to try it when he was fighting the Ice Demon King, but the War God Manifestation had one more weapon. It had a finishing move that would end the War God Manifestation when used, similar to the finishing move of Lightning God Incarnation.
When Jack used this finishing move, the ten swords turned back to golden orbs and returned to the large ring on his back. The ring then spun at high speed. As it spun, the golden orbs turned brighter, so bright that it was as if a small sun was behind Jack.
The bright glow engulfed even Jack until nothing was seen but a giant glowing orb.
As the Primordial Lycan was hesitant about whether or not it should attack Jack who had now become a small sun, a loud voice sounded from inside the sun.
"War God's Beaammm....!!!"
A thick pillar of golden light burst out of the glowing orb. The speed of the beam didn't give the primordial lycan any chance to react. The golden beam swallowed the Primordial Lycan's entire body. Its HP was devoured as the golden beam washed over it.
Its remaining ten percent HP was quickly drained. Under the beam's still intense heat, its body vaporized until nothing was left.
Jack heard a notification then, "Congratulations to have completed the League of Champions' highest challenge!"
