Chereads / Heaven Purging Monarch / Chapter 34 - A Mad Man

Chapter 34 - A Mad Man

Within a rubble of dirt, trees and beast corpses, Orion's figure looked pitiful.

A pillar of white light shot into the skies, quickly becoming obsidian as Orion rose.

His figure looked malevolent to say the least as he seemed to have totally healed.

How? He simply used purification to deem his state as impure then return to his peak.

Cracking his neck, his smile had totally vanished.

Crimson runes slithered along his skin as his Chaos body was unsealed. From the beginning of this battle, he had only been relying on skill but it seemingly wasn't enough.

Observing his show of power, the dragon laughed as its golden runes burst with power, instantly matching Orion's momentum.

A beautiful dark blue long sword appeared in its right hand as it raised its left hand, taunting Orion.

The latter only smiled before he vanished.

Reappearing behind the dragon, he instantly swung his spear. Dodging, the dragon could only roar in surprise as Orion immediately caught up to it, his blade still steadily heading toward its arm.

Taking a step back, he stepped forth, side stepping, he followed. His presence had become utterly suffocating as he gave the dragon no room to breathe or think.

His steps and movements were perfectly tailored to match and counter the dragon.

Orion broke the cycle as he stomped his foot, a pillar of crimson flames threatening to erupt from the dragon's position.

Feeling the incoming searing heat, the dragon frantically tried to get away but before it could compute what had happened, its left arm was severed.

Stunned and utterly shocked by such a turn of events the dragon couldn't react when Orion followed up and severed its right leg, breaking its balance.

As it fell, Orion's leg shot like a piston, shattering all the bones within its face as it was sent back flying.

Following the dragon's figure, he endlessly dissected the dragon.

He skilfully peeled its scales by skimming it, he severed limb after limb, he tore chunk after chunk of flesh and broke bone after bone as his momentum had become unbearably tyrannical.

BOOM!

The dragon violently impacted against a mountain but Orion didn't seem to care as his palm rose then descended.

An endless amount of thick pillars of obsidian lightning descended as Orion calmly watched, his expression placid.

Stomping his foot, he shattered the dragon's previous throne and formed his own.

Comfortably seated, his aura violently slammed into every lifeform's mind as he made himself known and acknowledged.

'What a petty bastard.' Thought Vulkron in amusement.

ZHIIIIIIIIMMMMM!

The night sky was illuminated by an endless ray of light as the world became saturated with an aura of utter holiness and sanctity.

Orion didn't seem affect as a cloud of darkness surrounded him.

Akon, the dragon, rose as his gaze blazed with fury.

Standing up from his throne Orion re-summoned his spear as he stretched his limbs.

"Round three."

CLANK!

Spear and sword met as a shockwave was created by their clash, razing what was left of the forest to nothing.

Orion's pupils widened as he felt himself be slightly pushed back.

His muscles bulged and he forcefully pushed Akon back, his figure spinning as he gathered momentum and landed a furry of perfectly timed spear strikes.

Akon effortlessly dodged every single one of Orion's attacks but he didn't seem to be able to break out of his flow as he was constantly pushed back.

Suddenly, his eyes violently widened as he realised that Orion had made him go in a circle three times with him now being at the center of the circle as the latter had vanished.

Looking around, he noticed that every step Orion took seemed to imprint a rune onto the ground.

Bitterly smiling, he came to a conclusion.

'He trapped me-'

[Infernal Dream Blaze.]

A pillar of pink flames rose, utterly searing Akon's flesh but he wasn't worried in the slightest as three golden stars appeared behind him, funnelling energy into his being as he regenerated faster than the flames could hurt him.

'CHAOS REALM?' Orion practically screamed within his mind.

'No, that can't be it…if that was the case he could've ended this with a single thought…'

[Endless Star Dragon God Constitution has been detected!]

Suddenly, nine more stars appeared behind Akon as they miniaturised before forming a magnificent crown.

As soon as the crown landed on his head, Orion's formation broke as before he could think any further, all the air within his lungs was forcefully pushed out by a violent punch.

Before he could go flying, Akon grabbed his hair and pulled him back as a palm coated in star god qi ruthlessly pierced into Orion.

Pulling his arm out, Akon prepared another attack as a myriad of runes lit up on his body but Orion wouldn't let himself be defeated this easily.

Feeling the blade of death upon his neck, he went into overdrive as his lightning coursed through his very veins, amplifying his speed and thinking process by an uncountable amount of times.

A few meters away, Orion reappeared, his expression ashen as Akon's star qi ravaged his body.

No longer hesitating, Orion acted, his claws glowed with a pinkish hue as in an instant, he seared fifteen archaic runes into his flesh, specifically around the wound he had just received.

Globs of blood escaped his lips as he violently coughed bits of organs and blood.

As soon as the runes fully seeped into his flesh, all the qi in the surroundings, regardless of the grade, rushed to his body as he was was healed and temporarily strengthened.

Despite the fact that his wound had closed, his expression was solemn.

Dream force flashed through his pupils as he rapidly analysed Akon and put the pieces of the puzzle together.

'He's able to truly access and manipulate his own Blood force through his dragon heart. He then amplifies it with the divine mana he was naturally born with. Then fuses it with his star god qi. He hasn't even been fighting me with all his strength. What a fucking monster.'

As Orion's mind went through millions of possibilities, Akon too analysed Orion.

'He managed to nullify my pseudo true god essence using those runes. All of his attacks target specific weak points and focal reverse scales within my body, I even faintly felt him use intent to attack my soul. His fighting instincts are beyond what I've ever seen. To think a mere blood kiddo would make me bleed…'

'I need to end this quickly, the more time I give him to think, the higher the chances are I'll die.' They both solemnly thought.
