Chapter 417 [417] Climax.
[30th floor, Battle between The Heavenly Demon and Alan Peccator(Dragon Form)]
“Magnificent!”
The heavenly demon prepared himself for the descent of the dragon.
He covered his entire body with an abundance of Demonic Qi, raised his sword high, and laughed as the Dragon of White approached with its massive body.
A deafening roar shook the heavens and Earth and the HEavenly demon prepared himself for the oncoming attack.
Would it breathe a beam of frost? Would it use its massive body to lay havoc upon the mountain or would it try to just swallow him whole?
“Come!”
The Heavenly demon urged, the surroundings became covered in snow and an intense blizzard came upon the mountain.
The Dragon finally descended upon the Heavenly demon, who increased the density of demonic qi around himself.
The Demonic qi clashed with the massive head of the dragon, the dragon bit and thrashed around trying to dispel the Demonic qi and he was successful after a while.
“Cough!”
The Heavenly demon coughed up blood, but the dragon would give him no moment of respite.
It spun around, used its tail, and smacked the heavenly demon away.
The heavenly demon had barely managed to put up a sphere of demonic qi to protect himself in time, but that did not mean he was not afflicted by the smack.
The shock still traveled through the layers of the demonic qi and the Heavenly demon was hurt by it.
His figure encased in a sphere of Demonic Qi crashed against a peak of the Heavenly demonic mountain, the demonic Qi pulverized the rock and tunneled its way through the mountain.
“…Urgh.”
The Heavenly demon let out a pained groan. He was now situated in the air, looking at the tunnel his demonic qi had made, the peak obscured his vision so he was unable to see Alan in his dragon form. This disturbed him.
Regardless, he was quick in collecting himself, he hurriedly coated the ink-black blade in demonic qi and waited for the right time. He was waiting for the Dragon to appear from above the peak…but it was strange.
Things didn’t go as he expected, he had thought that the massive figure of the dragon would appear from above the peak…but no?
There was only an eerie silence in the atmosphere, but the Heavenly demon did not lower his guard.
“…Winter has come.”
He proclaimed. The weather was turning worse by the second, the Blizzard was becoming so intense that it was getting hard to make sense of what was 50 meters in front of him, even with his enhanced senses.
His ears were assaulted by the howling echoes of the blizzard…but there was still no dragon.
“…”
He didn’t like where this was going. The silence was odd, eerie.
Suddenly, a deafening roar shook his eardrums and messed with his sense of balance.
The Predator hidden within the biting cold of the blizzard had made his move.
“Where!”
The Heavenly demon shouted, trying to discern the location of the dragon. Little did he know…
The Dragon would appear from the peak, not above it…nor even the sides.
It would force its way through, and it did.
It treated the mountain peak as if it were air, not rock, and flew smoothly like a predator bird through it, and the Heavenly demon was left surprised.
The entire peak had been pulverized. Even the debris was reduced to nothing but frozen mist when it collided with the dragon’s body.
The Dragon opened his mouth, and a blue beam emerged from it, The heavenly demon was quick to respond.
“Damn it!”
[Heavenly Demonic Arts(6-Star)]
– [First Movement] –
[Heavenly Demonic Vertical Swing.]
He utilized the first movement of his martial technique, intending to cleave the beam of frost in half.
However, things went awry.
The technique was unable to completely cleave the beam and was pushed to the side by the powerful frost energy, it traveled along the edge and dug itself right into one of the dragon’s eyes.
The dragon, however, did not succumb to the pain and kept the beam active.
The beam of frost energy traveled undisturbed through the cold air and collided with the demonic qi surrounding the Heavenly demon.
And tore through it, like a drill tearing through rock.
The figure of the heavenly demon fell and the beam diminished.
The heavenly demon fell to the ground with a large thud, half his body covered in ice.
“Ha….”
He had barely managed to avoid the beam.
He gasped for breath as intense yin(ice, cold) energy invaded his body. He tried his best to stave it off…but would he be able to?
When that beast was above him?
The dragon swung its tail downwards, intending to crush the heavenly demon into a pile of flesh.
“Ha!”
The Heavenly demon let out and grunt and used his heavenly demonic energy to make a barrier above him.
His feet dug into the ground when the Dragon’s tail made contact with his barrier, the sheer force of impact it released was so great that the heavenly demon’s body almost succumbed to the pressure.
He quickly jumped to the side and shielded himself from the explosion of debris and snow when the Dragon’s tail dug into the mountain.
He jumped onto the dragon’s tail and ran up its body, with each step his body froze more and a searing pain invaded his body.
The heavenly demon git his teeth and quickly made his way up.
But would the dragon let this farce continue?
It fired off another breath, undisturbed by the fact that its own body would also be damaged.
The heavenly demon looked on with horror apparent on his face as the beam made its way towards him.
“Damn it!”
He expelled more than half the demonic energy that remained in his body and managed to dispel the dream.
The dragon’s head was right in front of him.
The dragon stared at him with one eye and opened its mouth wide, the canines seemed as if they could tear through anything, even the hardest of steel.
The Heavenly demon barely dodged another breath and attacked the mouth of the dragon. He originally wanted to attack the eyes and blind the dragon but that could not be done.
So he went for the mouth. 𝑖𝘦𝑎.𝗇t
His blade tore through the dragon’s cheeks and left a visible scar. The Heavenly demon had made sure to expel a large amount of demonic qi within the dragon’s body when he cut its mouth apart.
The dragon let out a roar of pain and retaliated by slamming its body against the Heavenly Demon and summoning more than a dozen glaciers which fell from the skies, towards the heavenly demon.
The heavenly cut them in half, and his body fell to the ground. He was too tired to cushion his fall with techniques.
“Ha…”
But he was not alone. Even the dragon was getting tired. Its Azure blood fell onto the ground, coagulating into small boulders of ice.
“You are tired…as well.”
The heavenly said, each word taking a toll on his labored body.. Half his skin had turned a mixture of gray and blue.
His body was suffering from frostbite, his limbs were turning numb and he could barely even walk.
But the dragon was no better. It floated in the sky restlessly…gasping for breath as well.
The demonic qi rampaging inside its body sure had done a number on it.
And it was at this moment.
Both the Heavenly Demon and Alan knew.
This was it.
Both of them could not go for any longer, it was best to end this with one attack.
Their eyes seemed to agree with one another.
The dragon roared, and so did the heavenly demon.
Both of their energies erupted forth, dying the world two different hues of crimson and blue.
The debris on the mountain started to rise, it joined with one another in irregular ways and formed a large meteor.
The heavenly demon raised the ink-black blade high above his head, and a black aura surged forth.
A layer of white frost covered the large meteorite in the sky, and the Heavenly demon recalled the events of his first dream.
“…moon.”
He mumbled, gazing at the white sphere of death in the sky. It ripped apart the air and made its way towards the heavenly demon. It was as if nothing could stop its descent.
The heavenly demon let out a hollow laugh and recalled his master’s words.
‘You cannot cut destiny with your blade.’
“Is that so…?”
[Heavenly Demonic Arts(6-Star)]
– [Sixth Movement] –
<< Heavenly Demonic Split>>
He swung his sword, and cut apart the meteor in one fell swoop using his strongest technique.
In his eyes, the dragon behind it would suffer the same fate!
He let out a laugh as the two halves of the meteor separated from one another…but his eyes widened soon after when he found out that there was no dragon behind the meteorite.
“Wh-”
His words were interrupted by the Ame-No-Sakahoko piercing through his chest from the back.
His body went limp.
