"Oh….!!" Aditya was slightly surprised to find his sneak attack blocked. Simon had created an invisible barrier of wind around his entire body this whole time. Aditya had to say that he was really impressed. From this, he understood that Simon had a really high affinity with Wind. Not everyone could make such a strong windshield around them.
Simon kicked Aditya using his left foot. Aditya took the hit and was pushed back.
Simon turned around and looked at Aditya. Just as he had expected, a kick wouldn't do a thing to Aditya.
"Do you think you can keep up?" Simon asked with a grin.
"You're not going anywhere." Aditya became alert. Last time, Simon had escaped from his hand after he had severed his arm. He used a teleportation crystal to teleport away from Aditya. But this time he wasn't going to allow that to happen. Rather for Simon, this wasn't possible since Aditya now had 'Crimson Wrap Flash'. Using this he can simply teleport in front of Simon.
Both Aditya and Simon stared at each other for a few seconds before both of them charged at each other.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!!!
Both swords clashed a few more times before Simon kicked Aditya's gut and then diagonally swung his grey sword at him. Aditya was able to use the hilt of his sword to block the attack but as he did, he saw Simon simply give up and move back.
Bang!
But the next second, an invisible condensed wind blade cut Aditya's left shoulder. Before he could recover, another wind blade cut his stomach. Another wind blade cut his left cheek. Another wind blade cut his left arm's forearm.
Bang!
Bang!!!!!
The wind blades were hitting Aditya extremely fast and weren't giving him any time to react. One after another the invisible wind blades kept cutting him. The blades left small and big cuts throughout his body.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnable to endure these annoying invisible wind blades anymore, Aditya released a wave of Crimson flame at Simon. The Crimson flame wave destroyed all the small wind blades that were coming at Aditya from
"Wind at my heels, grace in my stride, Zephyr's touch, be by my side!"
Zephyr's Grace!
Boooom!!!!
The Crimson flame wave resulted in an explosion however Simon wasn't caught in that explosion. Aditya stood there and watched as Simon began running away.
"Is he dumb or Is this just his plan?" Aditya felt that this was Simon's plan. He wasn't flying away but rather he was taking him somewhere else. But Aditya decided to chase after Simon as he wasn't going to let him escape from his hands this time. He was going to make sure that Simon was dead.
'He has gotten faster than before. So that was a wind spell that he used to increase his body."
Crimson Wrap Flash!!!!
Aditya's eyes started shining in red. The next second, he disappeared from his place. He reappeared behind Simon but seeing this he didn't stop. He rather increased his speed even faster.
Booooom!!!!!!!
Simon began moving so fast that he easily broke the sound barrier. The Sound Barrier of this world had increased once again when the Mana density of this world had increased.
However, Aditya was more than comfortable keeping up with Simon.
Swoosh!!!
Around 5 seconds later, Aditya once again teleported behind Simon but he continued to run in the direction of the east. Seeing this Aditya fired a colossal wave of Crimson flame at Simon. The wave Scarlett flame was so big that it stretched more than 2,000 meters wide. The attack was so big that the light from this attack was seen from even a few hundred kilometers away.
Meanwhile, Sasha, Lilith, and Riya watched both Simon and Aditya completely disappear from their view. Both of them were simply too fast for them to follow them. They also realized the difference between the 5th-order and 6th-order. The gap between the 5th-order cultivator and the 6th-order cultivator was really wide.
Simon didn't need to turn around to feel what he coming at him. He could already feel the terrifying temperature. After Crimson Blaze evolved into Scarlett Inferno, the flames got even stronger. The flames had become even more terrifying than before.
"Shit.....!!" Simon cursed as he saw what was behind him. His face turned pale just seeing this. Simon did not hold back his speed anymore. He moved his body as fast as he could. He used every single bit of his agility to get away from the terrifying attack. An attack of such magnitude could easily seriously injure him if not end his life.
In the last few moments, Simon realized that trying to get away from this attack wouldn't be enough. He rapidly began to descend from the sky. As he flew towards the ground; towards the forest, the attack exploded.
Boooooooooooooom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A huge explosion took place. The explosion shook the entirely of the northern part of the Southern region.
As a result of his own attack, Aditya had to stop. But he soon realized that Simon had got away. Aditya slowly flew down while looking around. Due to the smoke released by the explosion, Aditya's vision has been limited for now.
Meanwhile, Simon was breathing heavily while standing on top of a mountain that was just a few kilometers away.
Huff!!! Huff!!
"That was close. I almost died there." Simon never had to run this fast in his entire life. He had to move this fast knowing that if he held back even a tiny bit or did not give his all while escaping he would have died there.
Even though he gave his all, it still wasn't enough. Aditya certainly wasn't kind with his attack. His intention has been to kill Simon. He had to use a large portion of his mana to repel the Scarlett Inferno flames away from him using mana.
"That won't happen again." Simon was startled to find Aditya a few meters behind him. He was standing in the air with his Adamantite Doomblade.
"I didn't expect you to catch up so fast." Aditya didn't respond to his words.
"How did you become so strong? Even though you're only a Beginner 4th-order, how are you so strong?" Simon has been curious about this question for a long time. He always has wanted to ask this question to Aditya.
"I drink milk every single day..." He replied with a straight face. He didn't even change his emotions a tiny bit while saying that.
".....Simon
"This is the last phase of our battle." Simon's voice echoed as numerous copies of him materialized, encircling Aditya. But Aditya's demeanor remained undisturbed. He paused for a brief moment, shutting his eyes and then reopening them. When his gaze locked onto the real Simon amidst the illusions, Simon felt a cold sweat forming on his brow. He sucked a cold breath. He had to admit that the current Aditya had become too terrifying.
"I can see through your illusions," Aditya declared confidently. His special ability, the 'Galactic Gaze', allowed him to discern reality from illusion effortlessly. Simon's attempt at illusionary powers paled in comparison to what Aditya had seen before, especially when considering the superior illusionary techniques of his general, Amber.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRealizing his ruse had been detected, Simon admitted, "I had a feeling that my Mistral Mirage skill might not work, but..." As he spoke, the other illusory copies of him faded, leaving just the genuine Simon standing. He took a deep breath, opened his mouth wide, and unleashed...
Pandemonium Roar!!!
As the name suggested, a formidable sonic wave burst forth from Simon's mouth. This wasn't any ordinary sound; it was specifically tuned to target Aditya's heightened dragon senses. The piercing, tumultuous wave of noise washed over Aditya, wreaking havoc on his auditory system. It was like a shrill siren blaring directly into his ears, only magnified manifold. The overwhelming sensation made Aditya press his hands hard against his ears, trying to block out the assaulting noise. His eyes shut tightly, attempting to regain his composure amidst the sonic onslaught. The surroundings seemed to blur, and for a moment, even the mighty Aditya seemed disoriented and vulnerable to Simon's surprise attack.
Simon saw his opportunity. Aditya, the Dragon Monarch, was momentarily caught off guard by a sudden distraction, allowing Simon to seize this precious moment.
Closing his eyes briefly, Simon began to channel his energy. With a deep breath, he clasped his hands together, calling for his signature weapon. From the depths of his being, a radiant surge of ethereal fire bubbled up, forging itself into a formidable shape in front of him. As he opened his eyes, a magnificent lance, glowing brilliantly with otherworldly flames, materialized in his grip.
The lance was a magnificent piece of work. Its shaft glowed with a blend of azure and gold, while the flames that danced around its tip seemed almost alive, eager, and restless. These weren't ordinary flames; they pulsed with a life force, proof of the part of Simon's very soul that gave the weapon its unparalleled potency.
With all his might, he threw the Soulfire Lance toward Aditya. As the lance soared through the air, it left behind a mesmerizing trail of golden light, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Soulfire Lance!!!
Weavering from the effects of the previous sonic attack, Aditya felt a momentary loss in his sharp senses. Unbeknownst to him, the Soulfire Lance was rapidly approaching. Almost as though the universe whispered a warning in his ear, a fleeting intuition alerted him at the very brink of impact.
Boooom!!!!!
The force of the collision sent shockwaves throughout the vicinity. Simon, with a happy grin plastered across his face. He felt he had won this battle. Although the battle was cruel and extremely tough he had won. He was convinced that he'd finally gotten the upper hand over Aditya.
Yet, that smirk of satisfaction was swiftly wiped off Simon's face as he witnessed something that left him utterly shocked and in despair.
Aditya stood unharmed, but he was no longer in his human form. Towering in front of Simon was a massive Crimson Dragon, stretching a staggering 50 meters in length. His transformation was awe-inspiring: two robust, elegant crimson wings unfurled from his back, their span almost blocking out the sky. The once-human arms had reshaped into formidable dragon claws, pristine white and menacing. Aditya's entire physique was now armored with robust red scales that glistened menacingly. His once-clear eyes were now a deep abyss, with blood-red pupils marked by vertical slits that stared down at Simon with sheer authority. Two imposing, straight horns crowned his head, adding to his majestic aura.
With every breath Aditya took, tiny tendrils of crimson fire danced near his nostrils. When he opened his mouth, an array of large, pearly white teeth became visible, with a burning crimson-red tongue flicking in between. And the highest of his magnificence was his tail; it swayed with a force of its own, its tip blazing with a brilliant crimson flame.
Simon's happy face from moments ago had completely vanished. He felt his throat tighten, parched. For a few seconds, his limbs wobbled uncontrollably. The sight before him was something he hadn't prepared for, and the overwhelming presence of the Crimson Dragon sent chills down his spine.
Aditya opened his mouth. He sucked a large amount of air into his lungs. Seeing this Simon's face turned pale.
"Don't you dare underestimate me, Dragon Emperor?" Simon roared in anger. The next second, Simon's pupils contracted to the size of the needle. Countless red veins appeared in his eyes. Slowly but surely blood started filling his eyes before blood started rolling down his cheeks his eyes like tears.
Just like before Simon was creating an energy Lance but this time, Aditya could sense that this lance was extremely tough. He had a feeling that this Lance could very well end his life.
"This is the final attack...."
Really Thank you very much to all those who send support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
