Unless one was born with the racial skill that granted them the ability from birth, [Flight] was something that can be gained by humans after they breach level 500 or through artifacts that bestowed the ability.


    But in the case of thetter, it was very hard to find an artefact with that ability in a small kingdom like theirs. In any case, Morgress did not have the ability of flight thus it made it all the more difficult for him to reach the demon who was utilising all of his advantages.


    He had no choice but to make an impact by using a powerful skill even though he knew it would just drain him faster.


    "[Great Thunder Fang]" Morgress allowed his powerful mana to go rampant and coil around his sword like a beast. His sword which was made of ckgold, turnedpletely red at this moment with thunder erupting out of it like crazy.


    It radiated so much power and light that space itself trembled and a heavy atmosphere descended onto the surrounding. It took a while for the rampant thunder to settle down and take the form of a crimson dragon coiling around his sword.


    The dragon formed was only a meter big; however, it was powerful enough to create ripples around the air.


    A droplet of sweat trickled down Morgress'' face as he marvelled at the powerful dragon. With this, he thought there was no way the demon viscount wouldn''t go down. Usually, the best way to handle an attack as powerful as his [Great Thunder Fang] was to disturb it before it even forms.


    However, the demon for some reason after disengaging from him, did not move from his spot allowing him to sessfullyplete his attack. He did not know what his opponent was thinking but he was grateful for it, with thepletion of the dragon coiling around his sword, his attack was unstoppable.


    ''Even if you rely on that ridiculous agility of yours, there is no way you can dodge this'' Morgress thought and swung his sword allowing the dragontched onto it to charge towards the demon.


    Whether it be his teammates or the people at the base of the mountain, they were all astonished at the power of the attack released by Morgress. The one meter long crimson dragon was just like a miniature thunderbolt, so fast and bright that it was already upon Simon in the blink of an eye.


    To all the humans watching from the base of the mountain, it looked like the demon wasn''t even able to react in time. But Morgress and his teammates who had a better view of the duel from the top of the mountain, were clearly able to see that demon did not move from his spot not because he couldn''t but because he chose not to.


    Given the level of attacks they had seening forth from him, the seven swords were all but sure that this would be the end of the duel.


    However beyond their expectation just when the crimson dragon was about to strike him, out of a sudden a golden halo appeared around his body before everything was covered in a brilliant sh of crimson.


    <strong>RUMBLE…</strong> the [Great Thunder fang] attack of Morgress, was powerful enough to destroy a part of this enormous mountain and shake it to its very core.


    The shockwave that resulted from the st, reached the base of the mountain and pushed the dense mist covering the whole floor far away. The people on the mountain top were not spared from the aftershock either.


    For the seven swords, they had to pull far back while Irene simply extended her hand and negated all of the damage. However, all of the attention and eyes of the humans were glued to the area where the st had just urred to notice this peculiarity.


    Usually, Lombus would be the first one to celebrate their guild master''s victory after thatst attack. Though right now, all of them had a sceptical expression on their face unsure of what had happened.


    They weren''t your run of the mill adventurers, each and every one of them had a rich experience in battles and were considered an elite. There was no with their sharp eyes they wouldn''t be able to spot the peculiar golden halo engulfing the demon right before the thunder dragon arrived.


    They had all seen the golden halo stopping the attacks of Boris who tried to assassinate the demon from behind but was stopped by this very same golden halo.


    Nevertheless, they all believed that even that golden halo wouldn''t be able to stop an attack as powerful as this. After all, the two attacks weren''t evenparable. However, like an omen what they thought wasn''t possible really dide true.


    After the dust from that berserk aftershock dissipated, they were all astounded to find the demon standing there perfectly fine and without a scratch.


    "T-that is not possible, a demon viscount like you shouldn''t be able to block that attack" though the one who was most shocked by it was none other than the caster of that attack, Morgress himself.


    He was so in disbelief that, he did not even sense dozens of me spears manifesting behind him.


    <strong>BOOOM…</strong> another explosion rocked the mountaintop and a figure burned by mes appeared in front of everyone. Morgress who took the attack unguarded, appeared extremely miserable at this moment with severe burns everywhere.


    "Dammit" he cursed and quickly drank on a vial of potion. Had it not been for his armour and his stats, he wouldn''t have just simply suffered this level of burns.


    After his wound healed a little, Morgress red towards Simon and used him for using unfair items and even med him for cheating.


    His frame of mind waspletely shaken after witnessing his most powerful attack not even managing to scratch his enemy.


    SIGH… facing the usation, Simon audibly sighed, his face looked extremely bored and disappointed.


    "This duel turned out to be just a huge waste of time. Are you done yet or are you gonnain some more?".


    "What?" hearing his condescending voice full of arrogance and pride, Morgress became even more furious.


    "When you proposed the idea of a duel, I was honestly thrilled. But now that I look at you bitching at every single wrong that''s been happening to you, I think it was a mistake on my part to have taken you seriously".


    "When have we decided on not using artefacts? You say I''m cheating and using unfair items while you yourself are using a [C] rank armour and weapon made of ckgold? This duel isn''t some children''s game so stop crying like a baby. You know, if you really wanna call something unfair, then have a taste of this..".


    Simon dered indifferently, and raised his sword high. The moment he inserted his mana into it, the sword lit up with a radiant golden fire that roared out as if alive.


    The temperature around the surrounding rose up drastically to the point where it was scalding hot even from the base of the mountain. The golden mesing out of the sword was so powerful that it gave the illusion of being near the sun to every observing eye.


    "Infernal Magic?" Sable the [Crimson Scorching Mage] stood up immediately the moment he saw the bright golden mes. As someone who also specialised in fire magic, it was his dream to one day be able to master infernal magic.


    And being as close as he was to evolving his me magic, it came as a surprise to him that the Demon Noble who was just a Demon Viscount, was able to utilise the magic.


    "That Sword…" Morgress with his sharp eyes, was immediately able to attribute the powerful magic to the sword.


    When he used [Analysis] on it, he was stunned further to find the tier of the sword.


    "A rank?" Morgress''s expression was at this moment a sight to look at. It was so distorted with disbelief and astonishment that it couldn''t be any more ugly.


    "Infernal magic Mastery- [Infernal Surge]" Simon muttered and directly poured one third of his mana into it.


    The resulting magicing out of the sword was so powerful that the mana around the mountaintop was set in a scorching frenzy. That was not all, the powerful magic vaguely took the form of a demon''s face as it charged towards Morgress.


    Morgress, feeling the power of the Infernal magic, [Infernal surge] which was no weaker than his [Great Thunder fang] attack, had apletely serious face.


    He still remembered the earlierment made by the demon who waspletely looking down on him. As a level 500 [Great Thunder Warrior] and someone who was used to looking down on others and not the vice-versa, chose not to back down in front of the attack.


    "Don''t you dare look down on me!!!" he roared loudly, took out a shield from his space ring and in front of all the stunned eyes, took the attack head on just like what the demon did earlier.


    <strong>WHOOSHH…</strong> the golden fire bringing along an infernal amount of heat, engulfed Morgress within and brightened the entire mountaintop making it hard for anyone to see what was happening.


    After the mes disappeared, a hideous looking figure with a half melted armour and ckened skin appeared in the ce where Morgress was supposed to be.


    "Guild master" Lombus shouted, he was just about to charge there when Thiago stopped him.


    "Calm down, he is fine. Although he looks injured, those are just superficial injuries. As long as he has that skill, he won''t go down that easily".


    The skill that Thiago was talking about was theyer of bluish green energy that covered Morgress like an armour.
