The Conquerors Path

Chapter 450 450-Powered Battle Of The Strong.

Third Person POV:

The entire stadium and its audience turned to still silence as they gazed down at the two people at battle, their understanding of powers and talent turning for the worse, especially for the youngest from organizations who came to watch, their reality being shifted as their fragile egos took a hit.

Both Austin and Zelda stood facing each other, the sheer aura the two of them giving off causing cracks and fissures all around the arena. Without warning, Zelda charged forward, her spear poised to strike. Austin countered with a quick slash, but Zelda was too quick, spinning her spear around and landing a glancing blow on his side. Austin stumbled back but quickly regained his footing. As they circled each other, it became clear that Zelda was a master of the spear, each strike precise and deadly.

Austin, however, was no slouch. As they clashed, his true power slowly began to reveal itself. His greatsword began to glow with an otherworldly energy, each strike sending shockwaves through the air. Zelda struggled to keep up, each blow pushing her back a step.

As the battle raged on, Zelda began to reveal the skills and techniques that had made her a hero in the past. She spun her spear with incredible speed, each strike precise and deadly. She danced around Austin, dodging his attacks, and striking back with lightning-fast movements.

But Austin was not to be outdone. He unleashed a flurry of attacks, each blow sending shockwaves through the air. With each strike, the ground shook and cracks spread, causing the audience to hold their breath in anticipation. He channeled his powers, causing his greatsword to glow even brighter with otherworldly energy. The power was so great that it caused the air around them to ripple and distort.

Zelda tried to counter with her magic, conjuring powerful spells to send fire and lightning raining down on Austin, but he deftly avoided them with a series of acrobatic moves. He continued to press forward, his greatsword flashing in the sunlight as he launched a final devastating strike.

The impact was so great that it sent Zelda flying through the air. The sound of the impact caused the arena to shake and tremble. As she landed with a thud, her smile widened on her face, and a chill went through Austin's back as he retreated. Just as he did, the skies above the artificial arena world rumbled, the world turning dark as dark clouds filled the sky.

Before anyone could even blink, lightning strikes as huge as pillars fell from the sky, striking down at... Zelda! The color of the lightning being dark blue, hundreds of lightning strikes hit Zelda before the clouds washed away, leaving a stunning sight of Zelda. Her hair seemed to have turned to pure lightning as it kept crackling, raising to the skies. Six rings of lightning floated behind her, three to three taking each side. The current her was blazing with lightning all around her.

eaglesnov?1,сoМ 'This is trouble....' Austin thought but, in the end, he was still smiling. Zelda seeing so started to speak "You better become serious, if not..." She didn't even finish, as thousands of humongous spear attacks arrived in front of Austin. Each one was enough to snuff the life out of an Origin level 6. Their raw destructive power was heavenly, as if the end of the world was descending on Austin's body.

'Guess it's time to enjoy...' Hence, with one final remark, Austin was completely engulfed in the attack, making the audience shriek in happiness. Yet the truly powerful ones with keen eyes knew that it was far from over and it truly was.

Seconds didn't pass before the residual waves and dust completely moved away, giving the full view of Austin standing perfectly well and different.

Two beautiful breathtaking red wings bloomed from behind Austin's back, their bloody shade making others hypnotized with their beauty, yet such beauty was hidden with danger as each feather of the wings was sharp as knives.

The eyes beneath the mask shined in an ominous light, countless stars now forming within Austin's eyes. They seemingly saw through everything in sight. The powerful crimson flames were out in full throttle, sizzling even the mana as it surrounded Austin in a protective embrace to his right.

From his left, a cold ice like no other grew. Its blue-tinted appearance was enough to bring a sense of coldness to all those that gazed at it. Just like the flame, the ice was something meant to freeze the world in frenzy, yet it now surrounded Austin's left, holding him together in a protective embrace.

Fire and ice surrounded Austin along with his beautiful wings, both of them coming together to display the best defense and offense. The wings provided him the movement and speed that wouldn't lose to the powered-up lightning of Zelda.

The greatsword in Austin's hand sizzled from the heat and cold, the power coursing through Austin not affecting it.

"I knew you were fun....." Zelda muttered, disappearing from where she stood.

<3rd movement of the spear: dancing snakes>

The spear on Zelda's hand moved in zigzag movements and speeds that no one could keep their eyes on as she reached towards Austin. Her movements generated several snake-like lightning creatures as they attacked Austin, their presence demanding. Austin raised his weapon towards the arriving attack.

<1st strike of Blade: World Inference>

Heat and cold both burst out from Austin, taking cover over the greatsword. The wings behind him fluttered in power. Austin waved his sword down, a simple cut, yet the entire snakes of lightning were cut in two. Some were attacked by ice, while others burned by fire. The worst was for Zelda as she had to face the combined power of both, yet she didn't falter as her spear moved.

<4th movement of the spear: Zero Point Break>

The power within Zelda bloated over, focusing at the tip of her spear. The power she was blessed with bloomed as the single weak point was seen. The spear within Zelda's hands moved like water, its smooth movement taking down the attack from Austin. Her movements followed by the sound of thunder as her lightning body flooded out hundreds of lightning passively!

But they were being dealt easily by the ice that covered Austin, the ice actually freezing the lightning off!

The distance between the two of them lessened as their battle intent boiled over. While their fight might have looked slow in the eyes of the audience, they couldn't see anything clearly! only the powerful could see the fight at all, All the others were able to see were flashes of lightning, ice, and fire. Hence, before they even knew it, both Austin and Zelda were near each other.

"Just how did an arena built to hold every fight of Origin realms crack like this?" one of the spectators asked out loud. Seeing the state of the arena, even now, the sub-world kept being destroyed. Its low-level presence was somehow not being able to hold the power of the two, which points towards the other truth that they possessed powers to take down a sub-world, single-handedly!

If the power the two of them were releasing were to be let out, several cities would be razed to the ground!

As they battled on, Austin continued to reveal more of his power, each attack more devastating than the last. He summoned powerful blasts of flame and ice, sending them hurtling towards Zelda with incredible speed. She countered with her magic, dodging and weaving around the attacks with lightning-fast movements.

But Austin was not to be outdone. He continued to push forward, his greatsword flashing with power that seemed to grow stronger with each passing moment. As he attacked, the ground shook and cracked beneath him, sending shockwaves rippling through the arena.

Making a great distance from Austin, the hold in Zelda's hand tightened, her eyes lighting up in glee as she used the last of her movements.

<The 5th movement of the spear: Ragnarok!>

All the lightning within Zelda consolidated, the 6 circles behind her rising higher and higher till they created a single lightning serpent that could swallow the world. Its size was humongous as it kept flashing behind Zelda. With a wink, her spear moved in a flow, using a snake-like movement from left to right as her spear descended towards Austin.

Meanwhile, Austin looked at the lightning snake coming to swallow him up with nostalgia. Before which his face broke into a smile, holding his weapon tight, the powers within him riled up.

<The 2nd strike of Blade: Void End Abyss!>

Both the flame and ice combined under his command, covering the entire greatsword with enough power to blow a small state to hell. The combined might of flame and ice was enough to create a supreme blow.

With such power under his command, Austin adjusted his body before flashing his sword from below to the top. The entire power within his sword left as a single slash that met the world-swallowing snake. Its size looked small when compared to the snake, but once the attack met, a blast like no other rippled off, forcing the less powerful to cover their eyes.

A powerful blast that was enough to take down half of a small country blasted out from the attack, pushing away Zelda and Austin, covering the entire area in power.
