Tsss!
gue Cmity Dragon had shut its left eye when [Arrogant Word] was shed towards it, yet the purplish radiating sword plunged into the eye nheless.
The gue form wasn’t Cmity Dragon’s true body.
Pride wielding [Arrogant Word] was the best match, their presenceplemented each other, like adding wings to a tiger, reaching extreme heights while being perfectly in sync.
The best match state allowed Pride to wield [Arrogant World] skillfully, like its own arm and [Critical Rate] and [Critical Damage] were triggered altogether.
[Arrogant Word] had Extreme attack, and under [Fury sh], its attack was boosted to rank II.
[Critical Damage] had a certain rate to inflict twice the damage; [Critical Rate] doubled the damage struck at an enemy’s weak spot.
When all the attributes were triggered, the overall attack escted beyond rank III, reaching almost twice the attack of rank III and nearing rank IV without a doubt, but there was still [Arrogance] and [Untamed] attributes in the greatsword that hasn’t been activated.
Kieran would never let his equipment’s advantage slip.
He purposely left behind some souls in order to trigger [Arrogance] after [Untamed] was used.
[Untamed] allowed the wielder to save 90% of the Stamina used when shing a target 10 times the size, and would boost the attack by 1 rank. Together with [Arrogance], [Untamed] boosted the attack higher.
The sh Pride performed contained the attack of rank IV twice, nearing rank V in total.
More importantly, this sh was the product of countless meticulous calctions.
Further away in the darkness, Slothid down his hands and yawned loudly.
He really wanted to fall back and sleep but he knew the battle was far from over, meaning he would still be needed for a while.
“What trouble!”
Whileining, Sloth glued his eyes on the gue Cmity Dragon after Pridended his sh on the eye.
St!
As though a balloon with water broke, the eye, which was 4 stories tall, was split in half.
A crystal-like substance gushed out from the wound.
“Aaaaaargh!”
gue Cmity Dragon screamed loudly in agony, but the screams did not affect its attack. It endured the pain and shook its head, shaking Pride down and mming him down with its w.
This w strike was faster than the previous ones and an unknown suction force appeared in the center of the w, sucking the flying Pride back.
“DIE!” shouted gue Cmity Dragon.
Fuuung!
Violent gales encased Pride’s body, the w getting closer but Pride didn’t react to the attack.
His arrogant look was fervent and calm, as though he was ready to die for honor, his expression did not change even though the w was right in front of his face.
BANG!
The mountain-like w hit Pride.
Pride faltered, his body even fading a bit.
Even though he used his dark sword on top of the original [Arrogant Word] to perform Transcendence [Greatsword Blocking], he wasn’t able to mitigate the attack.
PAK!
The dark sword on top of [Arrogant Word] shattered upon impact and [Arrogant Word] also buzzed violently, but the more it buzzed, the brighter the purple radiance was.
The reaction was simr to Pride’s arrogance.
Both sword and man would rather die than retreat!
The two simr auras started to converge, especially when Pride wielded [Arrogant Word] forward, the purple radiance as bright as the sun and amid the blinding radiance, an image of a striped tiger jumping out from the de.
[Sword Skill, Tiger Force]!
The fierce tiger crosses the ravine and hunts beyond a thousand mile!
The fierce tiger image that jumped out from the de was hyper realistic, each strand of its fur visible and its roar powerful as it sted the gue Cmity Dragon.
Another dragon roar apanied the tiger’s!
Pride swung his greatsword down and performed another upward sh!
[Sword Skill, Rising Dragon]!
The gray image of the dragon appeared majestically, the dragon’s roar shaking the heavens!
The tiger and the dragon roared together!
The fierce tiger jumped forth with a powerful gale, wreaking havoc on its target.
The majestic dragon rose to the sky, clouded by ayer of mist.
When the wind blew away the clouds, the clouds converged with the wind.
The tiger approached the dragon, the dragon swirled around the tiger.
The tiger and dragon converged and disyed a technique that was long forgotten, except for the founder of the respective sect.
Maybe Pride, who performed the technique, had an inkling what the technique was, but he too didn’t know the name.
All he knew was the tiger and dragon were enough to hurt the enemy in front of its eyes and that was all that mattered.
The tiger and dragon lunged towards the gue Cmity Dragon!
The two majestic beasts danced in a fury!
ws and fangs wereshed out at the gue Cmity Dragon!
Even the sky felt darker!
The tiger and dragon images moved very fast, their movement transforming into ten, hundred, thousands of afterimages, performing shes and bites on their target in that limited space!
The sheer power from the beasts caused an explosion!
Kaboom!
sh! sh! sh!
The skin at the w of the gue Cmity Dragon burst, a blood-like substance spraying all over the sky and one of the talons suffered a huge crack.
After Pride unleashed the tiger and dragon sh, his expression didn’t change but he was panting heavily.
gue Cmity Dragon wailed in pain again. It looked at Pride nervously and doubtfully, as if it was frightened. At the same time, realization came afloat in its mind.
“I knew those bastard knights wouldn’t have chosen a high-tier devil descendant as a heir! You are the one they appointed, am I right? And you are the true host! And that one there is just another one of your clones!”
The more gue Cmity Dragon exined, the more it thought it had realized the truth and when it saw many other Kierans standing further away, it solidified its guess.
It finally made sense!
“You have some interesting thoughts as a high-tier devil descendant! What do the other clones carry? That yawning one, is he Heart Demon or Mind Demon? And that one, who keeps eating my flesh, is he the pup of Amodr or thest blood descendant of Star-devourer?”
gue Cmity Dragon kept guessing. It tried to sound as calm as possible but the pain of losing flesh made it twitch uncontrobly.
It endured the pain and observed Pride carefully.
It knew the nature of those bastard knights after fighting them many times. They’d sacrifice their lives to seal it, expel it from civilization, and it seemed like this time was no exception either.
This time was even considered the best attempt the bastards knights made for over a millennium.
Using the void breach to trap its body and the pup of Amodr or thest blood descendant of Star-devourer to eat its flesh, if he had enough time, he would really seed.
However, it seemed like he did not factor the digestive system of the pup of Amodr or Star-devourerst blood descendant.
Although either one of them would grow into a very scary monster, even Cmity Dragon itself would have to back off against them, but the pup andst blood descendant wasn’t as fearsome as the originals.
As the heir of the knights, he should have noticed it and factored it into his n, so this must be a trap!
What kind of trap though?
gue Cmity Dragon squinted its remaining eye but no matter how hard it looked, it couldn’t spot anything weird, only an exhausted Pride.
However, the more normal it seemed, the more vignt it was. gue Cmity Dragon dare not simply make a move, it had suffered a great loss from the start of the battle until now.
In its memories, those bastard knights and their heir tricked it before using the same methods, it was then expelled and sealed because of its carelessness.
This time, it will not fall for the trick!
Fung!
gue Cmity Dragon took a deep breath and unleashed its gue Breath again but this time, it wasn’t the cone shaped one, but fired in a straight line!
Compared to the cone-shaped breath, the straight line one was weaker by a lot but it possessed the force and pration that its previous form did not.
Pride dodged it in a sh.
Booom!
The tall building behind him was perforated, not one, but almost a dozen more!
All the buildings along the breath’s trajectory were instantly turned into ruins.
Fuuuuah!
gue Cmity Dragon fired out it’s straight gue Breath again; Pride dodged it again.
Dodging a straight line of attack was too easy for Pride, and as he dodged, he seized the window to regte his breath, calming himself down.
He locked onto his target and swung his greatsword upwards again.
The tiger and dragon roared again.
Hundreds and thousands of shes and bites burst out with that sh.
This time, the shnded on gue Cmity Dragon’s chest.
gue Cmity Dragon looked down at the wound at its chest, squinted its eye and mocked, “I won’t fall for that again. One of your seniors used the same tactic against me before! He repeatedly used a seemingly powerful technique, misleading me to think that was his strongest move but in the end, when I counterattacked, he finally unleashed his true killer move! Did you think the same move would work on me twice?” gue Cmity Dragonughed coldly.
It looked at the heavily panting Pride and itsughs grew louder.
“Or do you think you can grind me down with that technique of yours? Are you cing all your hopes in that pup orst blood descendant to devour my body? Stop dreaming! You are really a fo-”
Before it could finish, a golden radiance shone from Pride.
The panting Pride instantly recovered and all his injuries were healed. His stamina even got extended!
[King’s Praise: Praise a target to recover all its injuries and stamina, gains temporary buff that varies ording to the power level of the king and the number of followers.]
...
gue Cmity Dragon turned to the real Kieran that was standing on top of its true body.
“You are still hiding some tricks eh? But how long can you keep it up?”
gue Cmity Dragon grunted coldly and simply allowed Pride tond another tiger dragon sh on its body without moving a muscle, as though it didn’t care about the attack.
The golden radiance shined again and with [King’s Praise]’s effect, Pride recovered again; the tiger dragon shednded on the body again.
gue Cmity Dragon did not move or dodge, trying to find out how many shes Pride could perform.
The monitors in the shelter clearly disyed the situation on the surface.
The civilians prayed deeper and showed more devotion after they saw Glutton Emperor block that enormous monster.
Their thoughts were simple: they hoped Kieran would kill the monster that gued their city.
Denser amounts of Power of Faith gushed towards [Lionheart].
The consumed Power of Faith was instantly replenished and on top of that, the maximum amount increased either.
Therefore, Pride performed the tiger dragon sh time after time under that endless golden radiance.
At the first few shes, gue Cmity Dragon was still able to maintain calm but as seconds turned into minutes, its body started to falter.
It was currently in its gue form, not its true body, which was nearly invincible and immortal as long as its core wasn’t damaged.
This special form would umte all the damage received and once it reached a certain threshold, it would damage itself severely or even fatally.
It must take out that high-tier devil descendant!
The thought came afloat in its mind, a ferocious re shing over its only eye and it moved its enormous body towards Kieran, disregarding consequences.
Even though it suffered two more tiger dragon shes from Pride as it traveled, it had no intention to alter its thoughts.
“I knew I should have taken out your clone from the beginning!”
Its w smashed down towards Kieran, it ought to smash Kieran into a pile of meat, crushing every bone in his body!
Fung!
The golden radiance appeared again but this time, it wasn’t on Pride but on top of gue Cmity Dragon!
[King’s Prestige]!
Those who dared offend the king would be punished severely!
While clouded by the golden radiance, gue Cmity Dragon felt its body weakening, and not only its stamina, its strength was halved too.
“Trying to weaken me? So what? I still can smash you into pieces!”
gue Cmity Dragon roared and continued its w attack.
Kabam!
An explosive thud sounded as the w drowned Kieran, his figure nowhere to be seen while gue Cmity Dragonughed out loud.
“You really overestimate yourself, trying to block my w with your body?! You have no idea what true power is! Do you think...”
gue Cmity Dragon halted itsughter because a burning sensation came from the center of its w. It has been a while since it felt the burns on its body and a zing force wasing out from its w, pushing its whole front limb upwards.
“How is this possible!? DOWN YOU GO!”
gue Cmity Dragon shouted in disbelief, pressing its w down with all its might and hoping that it could crush Kieran to death, but it was useless!
Second after second, the mountain-like w didn’t go lower, instead pushed upwards, little by little.
And when the w was pushed uppletely, a magma figure appeared in everyone’s sight.
Its long horn was as sharp as a de and could pierce the sky; its zing wings were hot and covered in mythical runes.
Even though they were a monitor apart, the civilians that watched the scene picked up a sulphuric smell.
But before the civilians regained their senses, they saw the burning devil who pushed the mountain-like w away walk forward step by step.
‘What is he going to do?’
The question rose in everyone’s heart and soon they were given an answer.
Devil Kieran walked towards the tip of the talon, he raised his magma arms and hugged it tightly, twisted his back to hurl it forward.
“I admit I’ve underestimated your strength but as a mere high-tier devil descendant, you hope to...”
gue Cmity Dragon eased its strength on its w while waiting for Kieran to die of his overestimation, it ought to seize the window to put its body over Kieran, crushing him once and for all.
It never believed, or even imagined, a high-tier devil descendant could hurl it away, even in its gue form!
However, the next moment, gue Cmity Dragon felt an unstoppable force from its talon and at the same time, it saw the aura on that zing figure transformed.
A zing scale appeared on top of the figure in a sh.
“Devil Libra! You are not a high-tier devil descendant but the descendant of the Devil Overlord!?”
gue Cmity Dragon screamed in shock, instinctively wanting to struggle but it was toote.
Its enormous body was out of control as it was hurled away, together with a devilish roar. It was swung upwards and then crashed beside the void breach, where its true body was stuck.
KABAAAAAM!!!!
