Chapter 743: Reuse Of Cowardly Tricks
Chapter 743: Reuse Of Cowardly Tricks
The sky was no longer recognizable.
The four elements were intertwined, flames burning in unnatural colors, thunderbolts shining in heavy silence, and the earth was even present in the air, in the form of floating pieces that circled around Jason.
The arrays beneath his feet were glowing. Several massive circles, intertwined, that were pulling mana from the depths of the earth and injecting it into his body.
The pressure had multiplied several times over. Daniel felt it, and his brow furrowed for a moment.
"This could be troublesome."
The battlefield that had been completely in his favor just a few minutes ago had unfortunately been thrown off balance again because of this bastard’s tricks, and now killing this piece of trash might have become harder.
He hadn’t known that so many hidden arrays existed in this area; otherwise, he would have taken care of them before coming.
These arrays weren’t ordinary either. The amount of power they were lending to Jason was enormous, enough to bring him up to the level of an S-rank Awakened.
These arrays weren’t normal, and they were most likely the work of the same hand behind the scenes.
If it weren’t for that damn serum and he had all his power available, this fight wouldn’t have taken even a minute, and that was something that really pissed him off and annoyed him.
He couldn’t even use the Primordial Flame. No matter what, after this fight ended, he had to find a way to detoxify the serum.
Maybe the dragons could help him with this. The creator of this serum was a Demi God, and a Demi God should be able to help him destroy it, right?
Jason calmly raised his hand. This time... his smile was genuine.
"Now you will see my power." And then he disappeared.
The sound of space cracking was heard, and he appeared in front of Daniel in a fraction of a second.
[Elemental Flash Impact]
The four elements gathered in his fist and came down in a direct strike toward Daniel.
This time Daniel defended. Unfortunately, this was not an attack he could easily deflect or dodge.
He raised his sword, and the collision happened.
Explosion.
A wave of energy spread across the entire battlefield. The ground cracked for kilometers, and the sky was completely split open for a moment.
Daniel’s body, for the first time... was pushed back several meters, and the soles of his feet left lines on the ground.
"This isn’t the same as before." Jason laughed. He felt alive. Seeing that he had finally pushed his enemy back really gave him a thrill.
And he immediately started the next attack.
[Volcanic Heavenfall]
The sky turned red.
Dozens of massive chunks of rock and fire fell from above, each with enough force to wipe out an entire area.
Daniel looked up, gripped his sword tighter, sighed, and prepared for a big defense, because it didn’t seem like deflecting this attack would be easy.
And he moved. He passed through the rain of death, every strike he made opened a path, but this time... the pressure was real.
One piece of rock passed by him and destroyed the ground behind him. Another came closer.
And this time it hit his shoulder. A heavy impact sound was heard, and his body stopped for a moment.
"Got you." Jason’s eyes shone.
[Tempest Prison]
The wind wrapped around Daniel in the form of massive chains, compressed, and locked him in the air.
And immediately
[Thunder Execution Spear]
Thunder gathered at one point, forming a pure spear of energy, and shot toward Daniel’s heart with insane speed.
Point-blank range, but at the last moment Daniel moved. His body broke the wind chains with raw power.
Not with skill, but just... with raw power.
The lightning spear passed by his body, splitting the sky behind him, and at the same moment he appeared in front of Jason.
Strike.
This time Jason defended.
[Gaia Core Shield]
A layer of dense earth formed around him. The collision happened, and the earth shattered.
Jason didn’t say another word and raised his hand. There was no time for talking. This was a fight where the smallest mistake could change the entire outcome.
This was what they called a life-and-death battle for him.
[Elemental Resonance Collapse]
All the elements around trembled and then collapsed toward Daniel in the form of a massive wave.
This time Daniel couldn’t completely get through it. The wave hit him, and his body was thrown back several meters.
He split the ground, and his shoulder took heavy damage. It looked like part of his shoulder had been cut off, and moving it was extremely painful.
Daniel’s eyes narrowed slightly and he frowned, not from the pain, but from dissatisfaction.
"..."
"Finally." Jason let out a breath.
He took one step forward, and the mana around him was still increasing. The arrays were working nonstop.
"Now we’re even."
Daniel didn’t say anything and just raised his sword again.
Even? He didn’t think so. Sure, it might look that way, but this fight wasn’t even close to a life-and-death battle for him.
The reason for his condition was the serum, and he still had plenty of ways to win. However, he didn’t see this trash as being at a level where he would want to use his trump cards against him.
And maybe he needed to save them for more important enemies.
He moved forward, and this time the clashes didn’t stop.
Strike.
Strike.
Strike.
Every collision created an explosion on the scale of the battlefield. The sky was shattering into pieces, the ground was collapsing, space... was trembling.
Daniel attacked with his raw power, and Jason responded with the elements.
Neither of them backed down. Neither had absolute superiority.
It was just the battle, and amid this clash, something changed. One of the arrays trembled.
Jason didn’t stop, but he felt it. A few moments later, another one’s light became unstable.
The mana pressure dropped for a moment. Jason’s eyes trembled for a fraction of a second.
"...What—?" He quickly looked around.
The arrays were trembling. Their lines were no longer stable.
The mana had been stretched too far. The distribution centers were under too much pressure.
These arrays are all fed from the mana distribution centers that are scattered throughout the Goblin Guild region and even the capital, and they receive their fuel from there.
Naturally, such powerful arrays cannot work without fuel, especially when the current user of these arrays has activated all of them at the same time to raise his power to S-rank level.
And this has caused a lot of pressure on these centers, and at the same time, the support for the Guild forces on the front lines has also run into problems.
And if this process continues, either the arrays or the centers will fall apart.
A faint cracking sound was heard from beneath his feet, and at the same moment Daniel understood too. His movement didn’t stop, but his gaze... changed.
His lips curled up slightly into a mocking smirk, but he said nothing. Without even saying a single word, the message was conveyed.
"This... isn’t stable." Jason’s face darkened, and worry could be seen deep in his eyes.
The arrays trembled again, and their light became even more unstable.
It seemed like time was not on his side.
