Chapter 1050 Glimpse of Defeat
Kyran was reluctant to admit this, but Dorlus was absolutely right.
He tried to conceal it behind his stoic expression, but from the outset of the battle, there was a clear indication that fatigue was catching up to him faster than he desired. Controlling the energy within him to this degree has its ups and downs.
In order to bypass Dorlus’ insight ability, Kyran had to sacrifice his endurance greatly.
Realizing the situation, Kyran tried to retaliate.
But Dorlus moved even faster, slashing Kyran in the face, hurtling him away like a bullet.
Kyran was forced to hiss out of his mouth as his expression contorted in agony, the slash left a bloody mark across the side of his face. He tried to recover from the attack, but Dorlus was already right by him.
“Indirect Moon Ability, Triple Assault!”
Swoosh!
Slash!
Chanting his moon ability, Dorlus executes three slashes simultaneously.
Blood was drawn, creating a gory arc in the air as Kyran’s skin exploded from the slashes.
Looking down at his torso, he could see that he was wounded severely.
Even though the wounds were deep, ripping his internal organs, Kyran’s regenerative ability came to work and closed the wounds almost instantly. But also almost instantly, Dorlus did another set of slashes, tearing open the wounds that were just closed.
It happened several times, disorienting Kyran from the loss of blood.
Moving with more vigor at the sight of a change in Kyran’s expression, Dorlus stomped the ground, cracking it as he made a dash and used his claws to impale Kyran. His claws made entry at Kyran’s abdomen and made a clean exit on the back.
Kyran clenched his jaw and grabbed Dorlus’ arm, his expression twitching in pain.
“Let’s see how long you are going to hold out,” Dorlus mused savagely.
Swish!
Showing no mercy, Dorlus guides the kingly energy inside of him into his arm and infuses it into Kyran’s form through the entry wound. It made Kyran’s grip on his arm tighten, making Dorlus let out a laugh as he could tell that it was working.
He knew that Kyran was resistant to the Yule Moon’s energy, but it was not complete.
Dorlus suspects that there should be a limit.
It may be true that Kyran could shrug off the Yule Moon’s light as if it was nothing, but direct exposure into his body of the Yule Moon’s energy is a different kind of exposure. Not even his mutation could resist this completely.
Making eye contact with Dorlus fiercely, Kyran gritted his teeth and made a move.
Slash!
In a burst of the moment, Dorlus saw his arm was severed.
Kyran’s burst of energy was capable of tearing through his armor skin and severing his arm as if it were nothing. But as Kyran leaped back to create some distance, Dorlus smiled as it was clear to him that this was a desperate move from Kyran to get away.
Focusing his kingly energy on his arm, he regenerates it instantly.
An unnatural way of regeneration.
Just like that, with the fatigue catching him, the battle has turned one-sided for the worst.
Even the most veteran and skilled expert would gradually lose their ability with the presence of fatigue or exhaustion. It could be seen as Kyran finding it harder and harder to defend his vulnerable points from Dorlus’ assaults.
On the other hand, Dorlus with countless experiences has incredible stamina.
Despite suffering many injuries, he doesn’t feel tired at all.
Leaping back as he dodged a vertical slash from Dorlus, Kyran cast a brief glance at Flunra and found him still awakening the princess, ‘I don’t think he’s nearing completion yet, but I don’t need to buy time for him to finish, a couple more minutes should be enough’
In a desperate attempt, he looked for some ways so that he could prolong this fight.
Unfortunately, the place was completely open.
Nothing could be used to his advantage, there were only the pillars near the staircase.
Sprinting towards the pillars, Kyran kept positioning himself behind the pillar to avoid a head-on confrontation with Dorlus. He was doing well until Dorlus’ patience ran out and blasted all of the pillars with an energy slash.
Clenching his jaw, Dorlus manifested another spear using his kingly energy, intending to do what he did to Adhara. He used the spear instead of his own claws because the spear was a dense embodiment of the Yule Moon’s power.
Naturally, it could suppress any Werewolf’s abilities.
Had Adhara was not saved from the spear by Kyran, her body would slowly turn into ash.
Aiming at Kyran’s heart, he raised the spear skywards.
With a fierce flicker in his eyes, his swung in full force but suddenly halted mid-way.
Swoosh!
Dorlus snapped his neck to the side and saw that the princess was already levitating, Flunra was nearing completion of awakening her. It was only then that Dorlus clicked his tongue, he was too busy with Kyran that he forgot about Flunra.
‘If it had gone a little bit longer, then I’m going to be in trouble’ Dorlus thought inwardly.
Casting one last look at Kyran, he nodded.
From the looks of it, Kyran wouldn’t be able to continue fighting for quite some time.
Pulling the spear back, he changed target to Flunra.
Swoosh!
He threw the spear with all his might and shattered the sound barrier.
On the other hand, the spear was rotating mid-air, enhancing its penetration power as it flew swiftly like a blur toward Flunra. Since he couldn’t move from his spot, he couldn’t dodge the spear and got stabbed in the back.
“Huaakhh!”
Blood splurted out of his mouth, drenching the princess in front of him.
But the blood wasn’t able to touch the princess as she was protected by a protective barrier.
Flunra was still riddled with unhealed wounds from all the torture that Dorlus did to him, even his throat was brutalized, still burning from the enchanted silver powder. He couldn’t muster his voice, and all he could do was gasp for air.
He resisted surrendering to the relentless pain.
Despite his willpower is still going strong, there was a limit to how much his body can take.
Slowly, his legs gave out and he fell to his knees.
Another strike from Dorlus and he would be done, he would reach his physical limit.
Not wasting a single, more second, fearing that the princess would wake up soon, Dorlus let out a tired sigh and approached Flunra. Along the way, he coughed blood a couple of times, showing that he was not okay.
‘I need to finish this quickly. Seems like I’m hurt more than I thought’ Dorlus thought.
Soon enough, Dorlus ascends the staircase.
With the help of the Yule Moon Lunirich God, he beat three Silverstar Pack members.
A feat that many will consider as God-like in this new era.
Just as Flunra came to vision, writhing at his last stand, Dorlus smirked and ascended faster.
As he was about to take another step, he saw something.
“A Fire Elemental…?” He mused lightly, seeing a small fiery creature blocking his way.
In the next moment, Flamy made a leap, reaching Dorlus’ head level before its body ignited into a small explosion, causing Dorlus to stagger backward. He waved his claws, clearing the smoke, only to be taken aback by the unexpected sight of a fiery tail hurtling towards him.
Bam!!
Dorlus got swatted from the staircase and rolled on the ground before stopping.
He raised his gaze before he suddenly coughed a mouthful of blood.
“Kaargghk?!”
Glancing down at his abdomen, he discovered a dark blue icicle, the size of a thigh piercing through him. With a surge of realization, he clenched his teeth and lifted his gaze, only to spot a figure standing by the staircase.
Kyran was the one standing by the staircase.
Saying that he was standing was an exaggeration as he could hardly stand.
Only with the help of an icicle behind him to lean on, and another one as a brace to his arm, he stood with a daunting expression, casting a mocking smirk at Dorlus, “Not yet… Not yet… As long as I’m breathing, you’re not getting past me”
