Rise of the Undead Legion-Chapter 516 Battling the Heavens
Chapter 516 Battling the Heavens
Dave was the first to draw his sword, Durandal to his left and Ajax poised forward.
"No time for monologues! [World Boss!]
A heartbeat sound echoed in the mind of all those present, Dave's form grew fused to a black swirl of shadows and ebony aura that coalesced around him. His muscles grew a bit, reinforced with the might of an abyssal knight.
Dave stomped forward, bursting in speed as he closed in on the Heavenly General. The general swung his glaive with one hand at Dave's head, the latter poised Durandal forward.
"Block that glaive and your arm will break!" Ouki called.
Dave didn't head the comment and blocked the Glaive with the width of his sword. The general's statement was not correct but was definitely not fully wrong.
Dave felt the shock of impact from the general's glaive against his sword, it was enough to make his iron boot grate the ground as he slid to the side from the power behind the glaive and his attempt at blocking it.
Ouki drew his glaive and whirled it above his head then struck down at Dave, the latter dodged to the side and sent Ajax to connect against the General's flank.
The shield did mild damage but it had a good kickback effect that it took the general off of his feet and sent him rolling on the ground.
The general managed to stand back up and throw a piercing strike at Dave's abdomen who wanted to take the opportunity to keep the pressure on Ouki.
When the Glaive was too close to Dave, he used his [Mikiri-Counter] his leg stomped on the glaive, burying the tip on the stone floor of the arena. Dave sent Durandal to connect with the general's neck. Hoping to lob it off and end this battle. But the general, the first person ever to have actually dodged the effect of the Mikiri Counter.
Instead of jerking forward with his weapon, and exposing his neck, the general followed the weapon and fell down, dodging Dave's sword strike, he then did a leg sweep from his downed position.
Dave fumbled from the impact and almost fell to the ground, luckily Ouki only managed to kick one of his legs. But that Gave him ample time to bounce back up to his feet. The general struck with the glaive at Dave who wasn't fast enough into protecting himself from it, then the general switched to the bottom of the glaive an iron pommel that he smashed it against Dave's temple.
The two attacks were fast and disorienting which caused Dave to tumble back.
"Weak!" called the general.
Dave disappeared from the general's face, appearing behind him, sword already connected into the general's flank.
-1,255,000
Dave followed up with a punch, only, the fist was Ajax itself which bit at the general's shoulder. It gave Dave enough leverage to draw the shield back, which jerked the general toward Dave.
Durandal held high up came down at the destabilized general.
Ouki used his free hand to swat his glaive against the incoming sword, barely managed to deflect the attack at the cost of his wrist being sprained. Ouki kicked at Dave and managed to unlock himself from Ajax's claws that were clutching tight against his shoulder.
The situation returned to base one. The two warriors walked in circles.
"You fight well for a nobody, but I hate fighting on foot, it was never my fort. Long Bao!" Ouki called and from under him, a horse erupted from under the ground, a skeletal horse that was clearly a breed far larger than any horse Dave had ever seen. The skeletal horse grew skin and flesh, it was still rotten like the undead, but it gave him a far more eerie appearance.
"Here comes a general's charge, boy!" the general spoke and kicked at the horse's flanks, making it night in protest and stomp the ground, breaking the stone tiles with every hove that landed on the ground, increasing its momentum.
Ouki pointed his glaive forward like a jouster, and Dave was looking at the Charging Ouki like he was an idiot.
He didn't dodge, didn't roll away, or didn't even try and break the horse's legs using Durandal. Dave just stood there, with Ajax poised for the defensive.
"Fool!" one word shouted the general, Dave's reply was also just one word. "Absorb."
Dave gave ajax the command and the shield siphoned the incoming attack, from both the general's glaive and all the momentum the horse had carried behind its charge.
The horse couldn't understand at all how his massive momentum was stomped when he touched the shield, it was the same as a train being stopped by a mountain-sized sponge. The horse was forced to stand still, and the power of the blow from Ouki's glaive was rendered neutral.
"What?"
"Nice attack, How about I give it back to you?" Dave didn't wait for the general's reply, "Reject."
The full force of Ouki's charge and his glaive were sent back to him. He never saw it coming, but both he and his horse felt like they were struck by a max speed freight train.
The blow was enough to send the two of them reeling and away from each other, the horse's body was broken in several spots, his frontal legs destroyed and the general received the stolen glaive attack into his chest.
Dave followed after, jumped high, and with a reversed grip struck Durandal down aiming to pierce right through the Undead's face.
Ouki snapped his neck to the side, causing Durandal to dig into the ground all the way to the handle. He punched Dave in the face to make him get off of him, which helped a little. The blow caused Dave to reel back and that gave the general enough time to kick him off with both feet and send him farther back.
The general went for Durandal, he tried to pull it from the stone, but to no avail, the sword weighted the universe, and unless it was Dave that wanted to carry it, no one else could.
"You're unworthy to touch that," Dave said and held his hand forward. "Return!" Dave called and the sword undug itself and flew into Dave's hand.
"Feels like we've been warming up for quite the while, let's get fighting, for real this time."
Dave pressed on his earring, activated Zealot, used Dagla's necklace to activate Doubler, increasing his strength by two-fold. Then struck at his chest disabling the Azure Water Rune, causing the power of the Chaos Runes on his armor to run rampant, sizzling and fizzling across his body like veins of liquid magma, power, chaotic power spread across Dave painting his body in colors of dark and infernal red.
Steam surged out of his body like a nuclear reactor, he was on fire, fully powered up.
Lastly Dave called his dominion ability, Aura of the Infernal Tyrant.
A skull, still marred with the ash of the fallen Drahma looked down upon the general in disdain never before seen in the world.
The eyes of the skull gazed upon Ouki's soul and essence, and deemed him, unworthy of its presence. The general felt the gaze piercing through him like a red hot blade.
"An emperor!" Ouki called, it was the disdain of lords and kings, an emperor's disdain to all those below him. Never should there be one to stand on the same ground as it. And this disdain was focused on the general."
"There is no emperor but his lordship Qin Wuxian!" the general defied the oppression and charged into the black fires of disdain from the skull.
Dave struck low, a kick to the general's knee that made it buckle and break. Dave struck down with Durandal, digging it halfway through the general's shoulder, his other hand let go of ajax and grabbed on the general's neck.
"Die," Dave said and snapped the general's neck.
The general fell to the ground, his neck awkwardly bent.
"Good battle!" shouted Samael. The undead alongside him all hooted in glee their prince had won.
"No, it has just begun," the undead King said.
"Yep, he's right you know, that guy hasn't shown his true colors…pretty nasty if I say," Nicholas had appeared out of nowhere, he was hovering right above the Undead King.
Dave didn't let down his guard at all, he knew that the fight wasn't over, the arena announcer hadn't spoken the words of defeat to the vanquished.
Ouki's neck snapped back and he stood up. Looked at Dave and said, "I remember." His face was that of an ugly grin.
Ouki jumped back and pointed his glaive at Dave.
Ouki's body was encased in five colors, red, blue, green, white, and brown. The colorful auras gathered above him in the shape of a five-colored lotus, the first petal opened revealing a red color.
"Holy Imperial Art! First Emperor! Fire!"
His glaive surged in flames, red blood like flames. He thrust the spear from where he stood, and the length of it didn't change but the fire concentrated itself into a beam and shot right through Dave's heart.
-2,600,000hp!
Dave looked down, he had a massive hole in his chest.
"Shit, André's gonna get pissed."
