--- Chapter 86 ---
On the back of the Abandoned Church, Huo Yuhao yawned and faced Vali Lucifer with his new creation. Azazel created a barrier to contain the fight and hoped they wouldn't just go on full blast, destroying the area.
"Are you going to fight me with that piece of metal?" Vali couldn't help but frown when looking at the sheath made of unknown metal slightly over 4 ft long in Huo Yuhao's hand. It's completely black with several cracks around it, separating the sheath into three segments.
[Name: Starless Saber Sheath]
[Type: Sheath/Weapon]
[Grade: SSS]
[Description: Starless Saber Sheath is a metal-looking sheath created to contain the power of the star and dismiss excess energy inside-out. It was "specifically." made of Uru's alloys and Star-attributed Spirit Bones, weighing over 3 tons to suppress Star Quaking Saber's intensity]
[Starless Saber is close to becoming a semi-divine item like Star Quaking Saber because it hasn't manifested the weapon's spirit perfectly. And needed Divine Materials to reach a higher stage]
[Innate Ability: Star Absorption(Passive), Big Dipper's Fortress, Sirius's Undying Storm, Shooting Stars Summoning]
"Yeah. This thing is more than enough to fight you." Huo Yuhao answered casually.
After reading the description of the Starless Saber Sheath, Huo Yuhao already planned to refine Stella and the sheath with Life Gold. Even though Evo doesn't specify how much Life Gold he acquires for finishing Pagma 1st Creation Quest, it should be enough to make and refine some items.
"How much is a chunk of Life Gold?"
[Roughly 9 Kilograms] Evo answered with a dull tone.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Nice."
"Anyway, come with everything you got, Vali."
"Hahaha~! Very well!" A wide grin appeared on Vali's face because he finally could face a Dragon God.
Albion sighed and added, "Don't complain to me later if your body was broken in half by him."
"Vanishing Dragon: Balance Breaker!"
Vali's body was covered with blinding light, leaving a white armor with five blue jewels semblance of Albion's eyes. The energy wings expanded slightly and released bluish light particles.
Huo Yuhao chuckled because Vali's Balance Breaker gave him inspiration for Eas's armor mode. He raised the Starless Saber Sheath and applied his Armament Haki, covering the black sheath with spiritual energy.
"Come, Little White Dragon." He waved the sheath casually.
Vali flapped his wings and charged forward quickly, increasing his momentum to crush Huo Yuhao's body. White light covers his entire self, making him look like a white flash.
Huo Yuhao's Observation Haki scanned the area and waited for Vali to reach him. And As the current White Dragon Emperor is about to hit him. Huo Yuhao slid to the left and smashed the armor with half his base strength.
BAM! BOOM!
COUGH!
"W-What?!" Vali crashed on the other side of the field, watching Huo Yuhao with an awed look. He couldn't even react correctly because the blue-haired individual suddenly shifted his position and smacked him with the black sheath. His demonic power doesn't even have time to reduce the impact.
Huo Yuhao was amused and commented, "Is this everything you got, Little White Dragon? Charging your enemy straight ahead shows that you are very confident with your strength, but that blind you."
"My teacher would laugh and beat you to death with this kind of performance, you know."
Vali huffed and glanced at the armor's part where Huo Yuhao smashed him. "He's right, Vali. Fighting an unknown enemy like that would be suicidal." Albion spoke calmly.
"Not to mention our Scale Mail couldn't even hold itself against his attack. It immediately shattered upon impact."
"I know." The young lucifer wiped a trace of blood from his lips and grinned because Huo Yuhao was a real deal. "However, that's good enough for me to use this."
"Divide!"
Nothing happened because Huo Yuhao didn't have physical contact with him. The Armament Haki created an invisible coating that prevented Vali from using Divine Dividing on Huo Yuhao.
"I've learned a few things from my fight with Albion. His ability is quite annoying." Huo Yuhao walked toward Vali. "And that's why you wouldn't be able to defeat me."
Vali's eyes widened in shock because Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared before him, waving the black sheath with killing intent. 'If I don't dodge, I'll die.' That was Vali's thought when facing the black sheath coated by Conqueror's Haki.
BAM! Crack!
Vali instinctively rolled to the left and spread his wings, flying away from Huo Yuhao. He watched the ground and saw a long yet wide crack from the sheath's attack.
"Let's kick this up a little." Huo Yuhao used Extreme Lightning Mirage again.
Vali solemnly looked at Huo Yuhao and tried to match his insane speed. They are moving too fast for normal eyes to handle, so people like Reynare can only see white and black flashes clashing inside the barrier.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
"He's still monstrous..." Azazel laughed in defeat because Huo Yuhao was ahead of his league. He was confident enough to survive for a few moments, but this guy seemed to seal his full power based on Albion's observation.
The White Dragon Emperor could feel Huo Yuhao's strength growing continuously in the Great War. That strength also contained excessively pure and massive energy that Albion couldn't handle, which he had to dispose of 80%. And the rest is still too much for his living dragon body to handle.
"That's just how ridiculous his strength was," Albion explained to Vali. "I had to bet with Ddraig that only Ophis and Great Red could match his strength."
"That's not helpful, Albion." Vali focused on attacking Huo Yuhao with everything he got, but the blue-haired monster never let his guard down.
BOOM!
BAM!
"Tch, there is no other way."
"Half Dimension." He pinched the air and tried to reduce Huo Yuhao's size by half.
Huo Yuhao noticed this and clenched his hand, using Spatial Manipulation to counter Vali's Half Dimension. Silverish and White lights clashed, creating chaos inside the barrier.
BOOM!
"Fuck!" Vali watched as Huo Yuhao was unscathed by his attack.
"Fuck it! Albion, I'll use that."
Albion sighed and responded, "It's not like I can convince you otherwise, Vali."
"I, who am about to awaken, Am the Heavenly Dragon who has taken the principles of supremacy from God.
I envy the "infinite." and pursue the "dream."
I shall become the White Dragon of Supremacy.
And I shall take you to the limits of white paradise."
"Juggernaut Drive."
Vali's Juggernaut Drive appears very similar to the Scale Armor armor with a much more Dragon-like appearance and is gigantic than the former. The white armor now possesses claw-like growths on the hands and feet, uniquely-shaped horns, and a fanged mouth on the helmet.
ROAR!
"Four should be enough." Huo Yuhao tapped his chest a few times and released his seals. He cracked his fingers and summoned Eas.
"Eas, you should be able to copy that, right?"
"Then, let's do it."
"Hehe~!"
"What's he doing?" Albion and Vali were confused when looking at Huo Yuhao. The blue-haired guy suddenly stopped moving and lifted his empty hand. Some gibberish was coming from his mouth, but they couldn't hear it well.
"Manifest, Violent Dragon which devours the gods' flesh and blood. Cut off the cloudy heavens. Bahamut." Huo Yuhao looked up at Vali.
[Eas's Bahamut Ascension Mode]
BOOM!
ROAR!
"Oh God, You gotta be kidding me." Azazel took a few steps back and watched the barrier with a pale complexion. "He also has sacred gear??"
"No, this is not Sacred Gear. It's living armor."
As the white smoke slowly disappeared, Vali saw a black armor similar to his Juggernaut Drive's form. However, it was leaner and more compact, standing over 3.5 ft and having purplish-red lines across the scale mail and everything. Fourteen bastard sword-like wings hovered independently behind the armor.
"As expected from a monster..." Albion muttered solemnly.
"This is exciting! HAHAHA~!" Vali laughed at the sky because he was glad to have such an opportunity.
Huo Yuhao grabbed one of Eas's wings and turned it into a pile bunker with a built-in Dragoon cannon. It doesn't need to be grand because he would blow Vali's Juggernaut Drive apart in one attack.
"Here we go, Vali!" Albion warned his host.
"Yes." The young lucifer flapped his vanishing dragon wings and flashed to Huo Yuhao's side. Huo Yuhao faced Vali directly and bumped into the Juggernaut Drive's armor.
BOOM!
The clash caused a spark on the field, destroying the ground into a mess. Vali seized this chance and used Divide once on Huo Yuhao, which was a grave yet correct mistake.
"Divide!"
"ARRRRGGGGHHHH!"
Vali screamed because his body couldn't handle Huo Yuhao's strength, which allowed the Juggernaut Drive's mode to stay longer.
"I-I can finally use this move!" He trembled in excitement.
"ACCEPT MY STRONGEST MOVE, BLUE-EYED DRAGON GOD~!!!"
"DIVIDING SMASHER."
Collective energy condensed into Vali's right hand and "directly." was used to activate Half Dimension rapidly, potentially reducing everything from existence.
"Eas's Destroyer." Huo Yuhao looked at Vali's armored hand and bashed the Pile Bunker strongly, clashing with the Juggernaut Armor's hand.
He released another seal and pumped 69% of his Spirit Energy into Eas. The pile bunker penetrated Vali's armor and triggered Dragoon's cannon to shoot Huo Yuhao's energy.
"EVERYONE, GO DOWN!" Azazel shouted outside the barrier because this clash would impact everything in Kuoh City.
"Ebony Dragoon Canon: Destroyer." An innocent female voice echoed in the field.
Vali coughed a mouthful of blood because his Juggernaut Drive armor "forcibly." was shattered. He watched the thick nail-like stinger in his right hand and saw it disappear into nothingness in real-time alongside his entire right arm.
SWOOSH! BOOOOOOOM!!!
A beacon of black light exploded and created a wide pillar of destruction, shattering Azazel's barrier into pieces and reaching the exosphere instantly. Roughly 4 minutes later, It passed through the moon and came to Venus, erasing a small chunk of the planet because the beam only grazed it. The black light then disappeared a second later.
BOOOOOM!
The shockwave followed and swept over the mountain where Abandoned Church stood, leaving only a flat ground with several holes.
"Holy Shit!" Azazel cursed while looking at Huo Yuhao with fear and awe.
"Oh well, Level 103 Eas is too much." Huo Yuhao deactivated Bahamut Ascension Mode and used Primordial Rune to fix everything that could get "fixed." quickly. Huo Yuhao used Light Manipulation to create a barrier around the Earth's stratosphere so that the sun won't kill anyone. And he reduced the shockwave with shock absorption Rune.
Since Evo doesn't issue any notifications, he shouldn't kill anyone. Huo Yuhao looked around the formerly abandoned church and scratched his cheek because the mountain had turned into flat land.
"Evo, remind me to check Bahamut Ascension Mode and Eas's current state later. That power has potential." He looked down on the fainted Vali, who luckily only lost an arm. He picked up an ultra regeneration potion and sprayed Vali with it.
Several magic circles suddenly appeared and surrounded Huo Yuhao. A girl with short black hair and glasses confronted Huo Yuhao with a "fearlessness." yet solemn expression and said, "Raise your hands. Under the jurisdiction of Kuoh City's observer, I'm here to arrest you for attempting to mass-murdering innocent lives in Kuoh City."
"State your name, Disgusting Criminal?!"
"Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao wryly smiled and raised his hands.
Unknown to Huo Yuhao, his action today would gain every faction's attention and lead to another big sensation amongst the supernatural community. He also obtained another title, Star Destroyer.
