Whoosh! Thud!

Just when Tyler was getting ready to face Porty, he sensed a great danger in front of him and swung his sword forward.

His sword was placed exactly in front of him, blocking a dagger. It was aimed directly at his neck.

’Damn!’

Tyler felt his grip weakening. The ground underneath his feet cracked.

’This strength! It’s almost like he is amplified by the artifact.’

Tyler didn’t see any artifact on him except for the dagger, but it was more of a weapon than an artifact.

The Artifact was also considered a weapon simply because it could be in the form of a weapon.

But functionality, artifacts were unique equipment that increased the strength of the user.

Unfortunately, Tyler couldn’t use the artifact as it required the spiritual sense to control the artifact.

Thus, only those at the Soul Sublimation Realm could use it. And that’s important. Because at the Soul Sublimation Realm, the difference could be made through external weapons.

So, whoever possessed a powerful artifact or a talisman could become a winner.

Unless their situation was similar to Tyler’s, or the gap in their techniques was too huge.

’This is the Soul Sublimation Realm, amplified by the dimension god. How am I supposed to fight something like this?’

Tyler gritted his teeth, channeling an enormous amount of mana into his shadow before releasing it towards his opponent.

[Shadow Strangling Technique]

The moment his technique came in contact with the user, Tyler felt an immense pressure on his body.

He gritted his teeth, bearing the pressure as he pulled back his shadows.

’This mana! This is a fucking Dimensional God. Damn it! Why can’t my life be simpler?’

Due to the density of the opponent’s mana, even if his mana quality was extremely high, it wasn’t enough to use this kind of technique on him.

Shadow Strangling worked under two circumstances. The opponent’s mana was weaker, and the opponent’s physical strength was weaker.

In this situation, neither applied, so Tyler had no choice but to stop this technique.

Bang! Thud!

Suddenly, Porty threw a jab with his left hand before kicking him on the chest.

Tyler flew back several meters before crashing into the tree. The sheer impact destroyed the tree, but it didn’t suffer much damage.

’Thankfully, I have fifty-four dragon scales. Otherwise, that would’ve broken my spine.’

He got up to his feet before he noticed Porty approaching him at an extraordinary speed.

Tyler concentrated all of his power into his sword and swung it.

[Sword Drawing Technique]

[Mountain Slaying Sword]

As he released the powerful slash, Porty simply appeared in front of the slash, coating the dagger with red energy.

Bang!

With a sharp cleave, he managed to slice the sword energy in half before rushing towards Tyler.

’Shit!’

Tyler cursed before channeling mana into his feet.

[Instant Step]

His body flickered, making it almost impossible to figure out his position until he appeared fifty meters away.

As soon as he appeared, Porty sensed his presence and rushed towards him.

Ding!

Tyler used the momentum of Instant Step to increase his strength while using the swordsmanship as well.

In an instant, he swung his sword, Porty, while Porty blocked it using his dagger. Their collision created sparks, but the intense force behind Porty almost destroyed him.

Tyler suddenly raised his right leg, kicking Porty on the chin before using his left leg to kick him on the head.

Two kicks made him lose focus for a split second.

[Eternal Sprint Sword Technique]

[First Stage- Flowing Water]

Ding! Ding! Ding!

As soon as Porty lost his balance, Tyler changed his sword stance, making his movements fluid like water.

As he moved, his sword started irregularly attacking Porty from different directions, making it impossible to block all of his attacks.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Some of his sword swings managed to reach his body and injure him. But the red energy would instantly erupt and heal the wounds on his body.

As they kept parrying each other’s attacks, Porty began to be more violent.

"Why?"

His voice sounded quite hoarse. At this moment, the killing intent was no longer present, but only depression and a willingness to give up everything.

"Look into my eyes and tell me why! Why do you have everything while I can’t even have one thing?"

Porty roared; his slashes became fiercer.

The more Tyler used his strength to block his attacks, the more depressed Porty became.

The more depressed he became, the more power he received from the dimensional god.

"One trial, forty broken bones for one pill!"

Porty swung his sword diagonally, but Tyler blocked it.

"Five life and death situations, every time I sleep, I see the faces of people I sacrificed to save my life."

His voice was getting hoarser.

"They keep telling me, ’ Why don’t you give up. Why don’t you remain a trash? An ant that everyone can step on. Why?"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Porty’s attacks became so fierce that Tyler was no longer able to parry them.

His daggers kept reaching his skin, breaking the defense of the dragon scale to reach his body.

The depression that was around him transformed. It turned blood red, the anger soared like a dragon, reaching towards heaven.

The dark clouds started emerging, and the sounds of rumblings could be heard from the ground.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

"I didn’t give up. I didn’t look back. I didn’t stop. Every day, every hour, I spent training just to get stronger."

Crack! Crack! Thud!

Porty stabbed his dagger towards Tyler, but a massive wall of ice appeared in front of him. The moment that the dagger stabbed the ice, it exploded.

Tyler’s body flew back like a broken kite, but Alfred quickly caught him and took him next to Elena and Daisy.

"Young Master, what’s wrong with him?"

Elena worriedly asked.

At this moment, Porty’s entire body was covered in dark red energy, his eyes were bleeding like crazy, and his mana had completely changed.

The dark energy from the dimensional god was constantly being used and transformed into purple energy.

Tyler stared at the man. With a complex expression on his face, he said.

"We’re witnessing the anger of an ordinary man."

Roar!

That anger transformed. The purple energy became so intense that the very ground beneath them shook like crazy.

The heavens started rumbling, and bolts of lightning struck down.

"Why does heaven stop my path? I didn’t ask for talent. I didn’t ask for background. I just trained hard, worked hard."

"But why did Heaven stop my path then?"

His resentment was so strong that at this moment, the dark red energy was dissipating slowly.

Bang!

With a single stroke of his dagger, the lightning bolt split in pieces and fell apart.

The purple energy became so condensed that his entire body changed from this energy alone.

No longer did he look like a human.

Instead, his body became demonic. With four arms and six eyes, he looked like an incarnation of Asura.

"Since you block my path, I will slaughter you. If Heaven blocks my path, I will slaughter Heaven."

He roared, channeling an enormous amount of energy into his dagger before swinging it towards Tyler and the others.

The sheer intensity of this attack was way above the Soul Sublimation Realm.

[Iron Curtain]

[Sword Drawing Technique- Mountain Slaying Sword]

[Eternal Tomb of Ice]

[Roar of the Fire Dragon]

[Shadow Knight Descend]

A slash, a massive wall of ice that covered hundreds of meters, a massive stream of fire, and a gigantic shadowy figure.

Four different techniques worked differently, but all of them had one purpose.

Block the attack from Porty.

Daisy grabbed them by their hands and teleported them into the ice dimension before quickly pulling them out from nearly a thousand meters away.

Boom!

The next moment, all of those techniques blocked the slash, creating the impact so powerful that it shattered everything on its path.

The fire and ice dispersed immediately, while the sword slash broke on contact.

Only the shadow knight managed to stop the slash for a while before exploding into dark energy.

When Tyler and others looked, they saw everything in the direction of that slash being torn to pieces.

At this moment, if Daisy hadn’t teleported them away, they would’ve died alongside those things.

But their attention quickly turned towards Porty, only to find him getting weaker.

The resentment didn’t vanish, the anger didn’t subside, but the red energy was no longer there.

With a constant barrage of lightning bolts falling into him, Porty had no choice but to use the purple energy to block those lightning bolts.

Eventually, he ran out of the purple energy and was struck by lightning. But Porty’s body became changing.

All of his blood burst out of his body, making him look extremely unsightly, but that blood didn’t disperse.

As Porty used the last bit of the purple energy to block the lightning, his blood converged into a dense red ball that flew away.

At this moment, a panicked voice rang in Tyler’s ears.

"Stop it! Don’t let it go!"
