Beodror charged toward Urcaguary with his sword ablaze. The purple flames looked like serpents dancing upon the blade.
Urcaguary activated his Golden Armor, and a yellow liquid appeared and coated his entire golem body in the shiny metal substance. Even his antlers became golden.
Urcaguary met Beodror slash with a punch. The force of the exchange blew Beodror back.
"This rock man is a Peak Core Builder also. Has Earth been hiding all of their top warriors?" Beodror asked himself. Charir-dar asked him to come here and stall, but right now he didn't know how long he could fight this warrior no less the other one in hiding.
Urcaguary didn't focus on cultivating for fighting, but that didn't make him weak either. He followed after Beodror and attacked him while Beodror was in a daze.
Moving the hilt, Beodror barely blocked the incoming punch. The second attack was stronger than the first, and he was launched even further this time.
"I need to stall him with long-range attacks." Beodror started firing Purple Dragons at Urcaguary. Urcaguary just destroyed each attack with punch or kick.
On the ground, the battle wasn't as one-sided. The golems in the Avatar and Core Builder levels were facing off against draconian forces. The golems were like Urcaguary didn't focus on fighting the last thousand years, so many of them were only able to use simple attacks.
The draconians at the same cultivation level easily stomped on their counterparts within the golem forces.
What surprised the draconian forces the most was a pair of women fighting on the wall. One was human and the other beastman. The two of them easily disposed of any draconian Core Builder and lower.
"Lucy, watch out behind you!" A giant Salamander Flame was hurdling towards her when she turned around an erected a water barrier to block it. A draconian taking advantage of her being distracted tried to backstab her only to be met with a Lunar Claw protruding through his chest.
Lucy looked back and yelled, "Thanks, Shadow."
Shadow executed Shadow Walk and disappeared. Shadow tore through the draconian offensive and left them no time to react.
Lucy covered her from a distance blocking projectiles and launching some of her own. Their strategy was working until an Avatar warrior joined the fray.
"Dragon Claw!" A flaming claw was slashed at Shadow who barely had time to cross arms to receive it. Shadow flew back so far. She slammed into the rock wall below Lucy.
"SHADOW?!?" Lucy screamed. Then a green scaled draconian appeared above her. Opening his hand, flames ignited form it and blasted Lucy.
Lucy erected a wind barrier in time to be blown off the wall. Lucy crashed into one of the new homes Urcaguary helped build.
The draconian smiled at dealing the women a massive blow when a chop came crashing down on him. The draconian pulled out his artifact weapon and block it, but the strength of the strike made his knees buckled.
The golem who was next to Lucy ran over when he saw them attack. "You deserve death." The golem raised both fists in the air and slammed them onto the Avatar warrior.
The draconian had no time even to channel mana because the golem continued his attack. The golem pummeled the draconian to death.
Lucy using wind to help her up hopped back onto the wall. "Thanks, big guy."
The golem nodded and jumped off the fight to rejoin the other golems. Just like that, a draconian who just stepped into the Avatar stage died.
Down the mountain shadow beasts and monsters were waging attacks on the draconian ground troops. Most of these men were low level and were picked off quickly.
A few Core Builders had to turn around to go down and help their men out. Jira used this opportunity to catch the stragglers.
"I can't believe I, a king, have to fight like some thief." Jira looked around as fighting was all around him.
A Core Builder just slew a Shadow Eagle and was catching his breath. Seeing the draconian try to recollect himself Jira pounced.
Jira ignited flames on his metal arm and punched at the draconian.
"How dare you attack me, weakling." The exhausted warrior slashed with the sword he was resting on his shoulder.
*Clink*
The attack made a loud ringing noise. The draconian was surprised how powerful the attack from a Mana Fighter could be. Then the draconian noticed that his sword was damaged.
"You damaged my sword. Die, betrayer!" The dragon-man released a water jet-stream. Jira erected a yang fire barrier just in time for a steam explosion.
Most draconians were natural fire cultivators, but very few were opposites and are born water manipulators.
"This is not good. I don't have the elemental advantage." A memory of Jira's life sensory came to him, and he executed it to spot the draconian circling him in the steam.
Jira smiled and started to channel yang fireball. The thing about yang mana was the longer you charged it would multiply itself.
All sudden when the warrior thought Jira's guard would be down it leaped through the steam only to be blasted in the face with a miniature sun. The ball tore the Core Builder to shreds.
Jira walked over and placed his hand on him to absorb the last bits of his mana. This was how Jira continued to fight way past the point of exhaustion for a Mana Fighter on this battlefield.

"What's going on in that direction?"
Zero looked at Supay with a questionable face. They hadn't found the Deicide yet, but Supay was looking backward.
"Supay, what is going on down south?"
"Trouble. Zero, we must leave back southward now."
The two zoomed off toward the south what would become the climax of the battle.
