Battle: Azure Dragon Emperor vs Azure Dragon God

"Boss, we have arrived" Zhou Hai announced the moment the car stopped, Masaru nodded before he stretched his palm allowing a sliver if his divine dragon aura to manifest a peculiar crest, with a slight forward thrust he sends the crest to latch itself onto Zhou Hai's forehead.

"Now I want you to stay close, if anything happens I will take you with me to the Devil World using the crest I have placed on your forehead as promised. Make sure to stay alive young man" Masaru muttered, glancing at Zhou Hai who had sparkling eyes staring at him with worship. a Wry smile appeared on his face before he climbed out of the car.

"Thank you, boss!" Zhou Hai cried out, feeling that he wanted to kiss Masaru's feet on an impulse if he was still in the car.

However, Masaru already left the car walking upon the steps silently towards the large building where the meeting was scheduled, just from looking towards the skies, Masaru estimated that it has more than forty floors and the Ritual will probably be taking place on the roof of it. 'Let's see what Meng Zhang and Lin Guang has in store for me' Masaru thought with a mysterious smile.

[Heh! I get to taste the blood of a fellow Azure dragon, just the thought of it almost caused me to become aroused again]

'You are eager to fight aren't you?' Masaru said to Drago,

[Aren't you the same?] Drago asked with a ferocious smile,

Masaru's smile became ferocious, his pupils enlarge before shrinking in a repeat cycle displaying his intense desire for this fight. Not only because he was facing a powerful opponent, but also to reclaim the dignity he once lost to Meng Zhang before.

"Good evening, I'm Masaru Belial and I have an appointment with CEO Wang?" Masaru said when he approached the receptionist,

"Good evening, we have been expecting you, Sir Masaru" The Receptionist welcomed Masaru before she picked up the telephone and dialled a number, after talking for a short moment without saying a word she immediately hanged up the phone.

On the same instance, the elevator ding went off attracting Masaru's attention towards the shutter doors that were opening. a natural smile appeared on Masaru's face when he recognizes the familiar black beard Wang Long who came to personally pick him up for the meeting which was a honour. "You finally arrived huh Young lad"

Wang Long walked over clapping Masaru's back, Masaru smiled wryly before nodding "I came on time old dragon, so is it those two who pushed the ritual date also here?"

Wang Long nodded with a solemn face "Yes, however, I bear some bad news. I am not certain if this is true or not, apparently, Genbu was killed by a Devil and they are trying to accuse you of it. Since many covet Kouryuu's power, many would believe this since they would consider you a rival who seeks the same objective as them"

Masaru squinted his eyes when he heard this, it was no need to ask for more as he knew Meng Zhang and Lui Guang was trying to sow seeds of distrust towards him who is a devil 'To think they would do such a stupid thing, they probably forgot that I am not part of the Chinese Supernatural world.' He thought,

a Smirk appeared on his face. "Well, they can keep shouting their accusations because I won't care for it. It has nothing to do with me after all"

Masaru spoke nonchalantly which made Wang Long widen his eyes with surprise, glancing at Masaru with confused eyes he asked, "What you mean?"

"I'm not a devil, I'm a Devil Dragon," Masaru answered, he did not want to openly say that he was not part of the Chinese Supernatural world to Wang Long since he enjoyed his time with this old man along with others. Even if he was not Chinese, he still considered these people his friends and for that, he was willing to become their ally.

Hearing Masaru's answer, Wang Long started to laugh heartily while his tears were falling. He could already imagine the constipated look on Meng Zhang's face if he were to hear this, this made all their effort fall down in the drain as a joke "BWahahaha, you really have ways with your words boy. Can't wait to see their faces"

The two of them entered the elevator that took them up,

ding

ding

ding

The light flash past each floor number from 1 up to 40, it was only when the light on 40 lit up did the elevator stop and the doors open. When the doors opened what revealed before the two of them were not the roof of the building, but a view of clouds acting as the floor where many people were standing on.

Masaru took a step forward feeling his feet sink into the clouds before it bounces back up like a trampoline, it took him a moment to get accustomed to the feeling of walking upon the clouds before he started to approach the surrounding people. There were several times he felt like he was skipping just from the sensation he felt from the clouds how it was bouncing him back up.

He Xiangu was the first to leave the crowd of people, from the looks on her face Masaru realized that the majority of the immortals probably bought Meng Zhang's story, she was wearing a white cultivator robe with no decorations yet it could not hide her ethereal beauty. "You came, if you came a second later then the people would have gone out to look for you. It appears the story Lin Guang and Meng Zhang told everyone was too convincing and the others do not know you as well as we do"

"I was already told of this, however, I have little care for it" Masaru said nonchalantly, he swept his gaze towards the surroundings, he noticed the surrounding were surprised to see him arriving after hearing Meng Zhang's story. Yet even more of them glanced with hostility in their eyes at Masaru.

"You actually dared to come after hearing the news of Genbu" Meng Zhang the Azure Dragon came forward glaring at Masaru openly since they made him an enemy there was no need to keep his hatred hidden,

"It was only a few moments ago I have heard of this, however, I find it laughable" Masaru said while sneering at Meng Zhang, he turns his gaze towards Lin Guang before his smile became dark, like a death god awaiting for their demise.

Meng Zhang snorted while ignoring Masaru's odd behaviour, he continued to loudly shout "You are a devil, naturally you are the first suspect we should interrogate! To think you would find this situation laughable, you really are Genbu's killer"

"Just subdue him already!"

"Yes, we can't have a scourge run rampant on our lands"

Meng Zhang smiled smugly looking down on Masaru who did not flinch towards the situation, he glanced at everyone before turning to Meng Zhang, his smile became wider causing Lin Guang to shiver unconsciously as she could not pinpoint just what was scaring her. "I don't care, why should I?"

"You bastard!"

"You dare say such words in our presence!?"

"I will enjoy cutting you into pieces!"

"You--- You dare say such thing, I wonder if the faction who supports you colluded with you to kill Genbu to prevent the ritual from Succeeding" Meng Zhang shouted, just as he was about to say something more, out on a whim, suddenly a pair of white scaled dragon wings emerged from Masaru's back,

"Carry on" Masaru muttered as he gestured for Meng Zhang to continue his speech, he forcibly made Meng Zhang stop in surprise on purpose. The swift switch between what he was meant to say and his sudden interest in Masaru's dragon wings made him forgot half the contents he practised to say for tonight's plans.

Meng Zhang who heard his question, felt something got stuck in his throat as he felt humiliated. He forgot what he was about to say, 'You just showed something outrageous and you tell me to carry on!?' He thought he was going mad, "What are you trying to prove by bringing out those wings?"

"Anyone with eyes can see I'm not a devil, these wings are proving that I am classified as a Dragon. Albeit Devil Dragon, I am a dragon nonetheless. So why should I care what other Devils do... Should I remind you of your attempt to kill me in Japan when it was meant to invite me?" Masaru muttered with his eyes glaring at Meng Zhang causing him to flinch.

This moment of silence form Meng Zhang, allowed the information Masaru just provided to the surrounding to sink into their minds causing an uproar while many of them were glancing at Meng Zhang with shock, it was no secret among themselves that they sent Azure Dragon and Phoenix to invite the White tiger back home to perform the ritual. However, it appears the truth behind the "invitation" was different.

"You---" Meng Zhang felt something was strange, he could not contain his anger when he faced Masaru. He was wondering how he lost his advantage so quickly, not only did he forget what he wanted to say and now Masaru brought up a topic he did not want to relay to the others. This placed him in a difficult position, while he sensed that there was something about Masaru that made him feel threatened, as if his position as the Azure Dragon God of the East was being usurped by an unknown being.

"So you intend to dodge the responsibility of this incident by saying you are a Devil Dragon and mentioning a lie?" Meng Zhang said while glaring at Masaru,

Masaru nodded while shrugging his shoulders, "I have a question in regards to Genbu's death"

Lin Guang who heard this could not help but squint her eyes looking carefully at Masaru who appeared confident, as if what was happening did not faze him at all.

Masaru noticed that Meng Zhang did not say a thing, so he glanced at the surroundings before he continued "Where is Genbu's body?"

"That is what we should ask you" Meng Zhang said,

Masaru nodded before smiling broadly, "Then how did you know that he was killed by a devil?"

"Naturally we found it form it's---" before Meng Zhang could answer, Lin Guang shook her head and took a step forward.

"We found the energy signature surrounding the battlefield"

Masaru nodded, "Can you take us there?"

"This----" Lin Guang took a step back,

"Second, if Genbu was really killed during combat and his body is taken away. There is a few points that bother me, First, why did the assailant not clean up the traces?, Second can a mid-class god easily be killed in combat without anyone realizing the peculiarities?" Masaru asked before tapping his chin,

"It's a different story when Genbu is killed by someone he is familiar with, and had a devil ally to create a false scene. Since that would sound more convincing" Masaru said causing everyone to freeze, they continued to discuss and could not help glancing at Lin Guang and Meng Zhang.

"You killed Genbu! And now you are trying to confuse us with your random conspiracy theory" Meng Zhang Roared while Masaru chuckled, lifting his hand he brought out his dragon aura.

"As some of you now realize, I don't have the traits of demonic power anymore. Instead, I have demonic Dragon Aura as my source of power, so how is it that I killed Genbu when it was a devil with Demonic power?" Masar glanced at Meng Zhang causing him to flinch,

"However, instead of wasting time trying to argue over who is right and who is wrong. I have read that there is a custom where one can challenge the other for a life and death duel, do you dare" Masaru muttered causing a massive commotion to break out among the people wondering why Masaru would risk his life,

"Could it be he was telling the truth? Azure Dragon attacked him and now he is willing to give up his life for the truth?"

"What if the things he explained was the truth, Azure Dragon and The phoenix colluded to kill Genbu!"

"I still feel that both parties should be eliminated, that way we can be certain the killer is dead"

All of them began to raise their opinions while debating on what solution would be the best.

"To think the boy could hide his divinity from being sensed, he really holds a divine artefact to aid him" Pangu whispered, he could not help but start to smirk as he felt this boy really loves toying with people's minds by making use of the surrounding people to pressure Meng Zhang and Lin Guang, just like Meng Zhang did to him.

"Have you forgotten how I---" Before Meng Zhang could confess he did indeed attack Masaru, Lin Guang appeared behind him covering his mouth

"Keep quiet, you almost gave yourself away you fool!" Lin Guang whispered in his ears causing Meng Zhang to shiver, he felt a cold sweat going down his spine as he nearly fell for the trap Masaru.

Since he already started to speak, he continued his sentence with a change, "Have you forgotten how I gained my title as the Eastern God!? I will accept your challenge!"

'Aiya, to think I could not get the dragon to confess on his own while feeling proud over his unreasonable victory over me' Masaru thought, he did not flinch when he noticed that he did not succeed in the first part, however, his plan was a two-phase and the challenge was much more important as well since he wanted revenge against this lizard for his attack back then.

Wang Long stepped forward as he stomps hard on the clouds, he naturally understood Masaru intended to simply defeat Meng Zhang and deal with the situation later. He agreed with this method, he decided to step in since he could not allow any of the four directions to die although what happened to Genbu they would have to come up with a plan.

Suddenly the clouds vibrated as a large arena emerged from the clouds with Masaru and Zhang standing in the middle of it. Everyone took their seats since it was about time the show started, yet among the spectators, Lin Guang felt complicated wondering why she felt uneasy about Zhang going up against Masaru.

'He already has beaten Masaru once, why am I so worried about him now?' Lin thought as she glances at the Arena, despite trying to convince herself. Her instincts were screaming at her to run,

"Since the both of you agreed, I will allow this match until either of you give up or I deem you unfit to battle anymore. We can't have either of you dead so I will be the referee and stop the match before either of you gets killed" Wang Long muttered although he stepped up for the sake of Masaru, he did not know the full power of the boy but he knew Zhang and he was not certain if the boy would able to contend against him.

"That's true, it's best we contain the situation"

"I agree with Wang Long"

"I aswell"

Meng Zhang gnashed his teeth in rage while silently glaring at Wang Long who stood in his path to kill this boy and take his sacred gear, he was so close each time and each time he just can't seem to take the next step to achieve his dreams.

'No matter, I will do it during the Ritual' Zhang thought as his face became calm and composed,

Masaru squinted his eyes as he did not believe that Zhang would step out of a chance to kill him, the fact that Meng Zhang's killing intent suddenly became silent made Masaru vigilant. 'What is this lizard planning' Masaru thought as he glances at Wang Long.

"Let the Match... BEGIN!"

"You can make your move" Meng Zhang said arrogantly with his hands behind his back, looking at Masaru with disdain.

"Don't mind if I do" Masaru smirked, white dragon scales began to emerge from underneath his skin, covering his entire body except for his face, chest, at his sides. The transparent dragon aura that covered his body emerged along with his scale revealing his Mid-Class God strength.

"WHAT!?" Pangu almost fell off his chair while dropping his mug of booze when he sensed Masaru's strength, he knew this boy would continue to grow but this was not just as simple as a growth in strength, it was like he skipped several steps from being a baby directly to an adult. It was completely bizarre.

Even the other Gods were surprised, however, no one was more surprised than Meng Zhang who faced Masaru's pressure and Lin Guang as these two knew just a while back Masaru was only at the level of a False Ultimate Rank and now he was a Mid-Class God.

'Just what in the world happened' Lin Guang thought while confirming that her instincts were indeed correct, however, there was nothing she could do since the duel was already in progress. If she were to intervene, everything they had built for today would collapse. She could only pray that Meng Zhang would defeat Masaru.

"Hmph! So what if you became a mid-class god, you still inexperience" Meng Zhang muttered with a snort,

However, the surprise did not stop there as the next thing to emerge from Masaru's body made the entire surrounding as silent as the dead.

Masaru's transparent dragon aura began to shift in colour, slowly but sure the transparent colour began to turn into Azure colour. Even the familiar dragon aura only present within the azure dragon god could be sensed from Masaru.

Sseeing this the surrounding Gods were shocked out of their minds. Even Meng Zhang began to shiver from how familiar this power felt for him,

"The fuck!?" Wang Long shouted a curse unintentionally from how surprised his felt from the Dragon Aura he was sensing.

Lin Guang stood up from where she sat looking at Masaru with eyes filled with shock and surprise, even Pangu was not spared from this shocked as his jaw nearly dropped on the ground.

[Azure Dragon Emperor: Azure Authority Overdrive!]

In front of them appeared Masaru who transformed into a humanoid dragon donned an azure coloured metal membrane armour, covering his body like a second layer of skin with the tip of his fingers retaining their human form along with his face, chest, abs and sides.

[Never would expect you to incorporate your Half dragon transformation into this Mode, no wonder the Sacred Gear went into an overdrive mode since your power increase is several times larger than a regular Balance breaker] Drago mumbled as watch how Masaru transformed,

Masaru's dragon wings sprouted from his back in the azure coloured and white membranes. This was originally his humanoid dragon transformation which became an Overdrive Mode for Sacred Gear.

BANG!

Masaru slammed his dragon tail on the ground causing the surrounding people to awaken from their stupor, yet despite being awakened what they were witnessing should be impossible. Even the old Ancestor of the Meng Clan had to give up his God seat to Meng Zhang to allow the latter to become the Azure Dragon God, yet here was another Azure Dragon God, although pseudo since it was an Emperor.

"You---- How?" Meng Zhang muttered as he could not form the correct questions to ask Masaru how he managed to become the Azure dragon god, he knew much more compared to the other gods from what he learnt from his ancestor. He knew just how much impossible this scene was supposed to be.

Masaru smirked as he glances in a particular direction towards the skies sensing a familiar aura that resembled Michael from heaven, which meant an Ally was arriving soon. Since he had someone who could assist him, he felt that it was about time he made a move of his own "With me here, even if I kill you now. The Ritual will succeed since I am the Azure Dragon as well as Byakko"

Hearing Masaru's words not only Meng Zhang but also Lin Guang drew cold breaths feeling a shiver run down their spines, the two of them glanced at each other fearing that Masaru would also have the fire phoenix form as well. If that was true, then it was true that even if they die then the ritual would still succeed.

The two of them feared the idea that came to their minds at this moment, whether Masaru could replace them both then would the surrounding gods not kill them off?

"You lie! How can you become a true Azure Dragon if one already exists!? Only one Azure Dragon God is permitted according to the laws of Kouryuu!" Lin Guang screamed outvoicing the confusing of the surrounding gods and goddesses who nodded,

Masaru smirked "It's simple really, it's all because I can do it. That's all"

Hearing his answer half the arena almost collapsed wondering if this boy is taking the current situation seriously, but someone was breathing heavily as he glared at Masaru. It was Meng Zhang, he was losing his sanity due to fear and anger.

"You---- You will not replace me!!! I will kill you!!!" Meng Zhang roared,

Masaru smiled tauntingly, "You mentioned that Kouryuu decides whether there can only be one Azure Dragon correct?"

No one answered, that was a fact, however, they could not understand just what the boy was trying to say. Masaru squinted his eyes before saying something that scared more than half the surrounding gods half to death "Doesn't that means I have been given permission... Or more accurately, chosen to become the true Azure Dragon God?"

"DIE!!!" Meng Zhang flew towards Masaru who smirked at him, he clenched his fist thrusting it towards Masaru.

"So easy to provoke, dragons that is" Masaru muttered as he responded with a fist strike of his own, no dragon divine aura. Just his physical strength, ever since he elevated to Mid Class God he always wanted to test his strength against Meng Zhang once more.

BOOM!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH

A Fierce gale scattered to the surroundings with Masaru and Meng Zhang at the centre, their fist was still connected with each other making it appear like their powers were equal but in reality, it was only because Masaru's back was facing the east, and the Azure Dragon was the strongest when its back faced the east due to its trait as a Guardian.

Meng Zhang who felt that familiar feeling felt his face became pale as he looks at Masaru's eyes "You are really..."

Before he could finish his words Masaru slammed his fist into Zhang's gut as Drago's voice resounded

[Absorb!]

The energy from the surrounding clouds was absorbed by Masaru which gave him a temporary boost in strength, this increased the impact of Masaru's attack even further. Even Meng Zhang could feel the sudden increase in strength contained within Masaru's punch soured by leaps and bounds as if Masaru gained a massive qualitative increase in strength

"GUAH!" Meng Zhang spat out blood while he was sent flying into the skies,

Everyone was shocked out of their minds as they could sense the surrounding clouds were a bit weaker although it was an amount not many would easily detect, but it was enough to give Masaru the extra push to fight equally with Zhang.

'I would never have expected...' Wang Long finally realized something he never considered before when he first met Masaru, he glances at Masaru with a complicated gaze.

'Kouryuu... You have been with us all this time...' He thought as he closed his eyes to send a prayer for his friend he missed dearly,

"You!!!" Meng Zhang yelled as he suddenly unleashes a burst of his divine dragon aura around his body before it began to expand almost endlessly like a large snake was being materialized within the air.

Soon the lustre of azure coloured scales began to manifest as the dragon divine aura was slowly becoming more solid attaining a physical form, with each second the form of the creature became more detailed in a swift manner, it did not take long for a massive wingless dragon to appear in the place where Meng Zhang was once. "I am the Azure Dragon! You are nothing but a fake!"

Masaru smiled wryly as he could feel he was a tad bit weaker compared to Zhang but,

[No need to worry kid, just do what you gotta do] Drago spoke with a happy tone, his voice contained his confidence in himself and granted Masaru the chance to do just what he wanted.

For some reason, Masaru felt this dragon was hiding something from him, however, with the time he spent together with Drago he knew that this dragon only wanted to brag about it later when it is revealed. So he nodded before he flapped his wings taking off into the skies, leaving behind ripples of air explosions left behind due to his overwhelming speed.

Shortly the battle resumed and took place within the skies. Meng Zhang releases a massive dragon breath upon Masaru, Masaru who saw this could not help but to smirk. With the aid of his divine grimoire, he lightly slashed his index finger to create a spatial rupture for him to leap into.

BANG!

B-BANG!

Masaru appeared right behind Meng Zhang's head, due to his existence being concealed by the Divine Grimoire Masaru was able to appear behind Meng Zhang and slammed his fist three consecutive times at the back of Meng Zhang head.

Meng Zhang felt his sight became dizzy for a moment when he felt the attack, the impact forced him to dive towards the ground before slowly raising himself back up into the skies when he regained his focus. His jade coloured eyes were becoming red, a peculiar scale right under his chin was revealing itself.

Masaru smirked when he realized that Meng Zhang was about to lose his sanity, he flew straight towards Meng Zhang without using any spatial magic and approach him in pure speed.

SWOOSH!

Meng Zhang sent several Dragon Divine Aura condensed Dragon claws flying towards Masaru, with the aid of the grimoire Masaru could scan the energy properties instantly while cloaking his fists in worthless bloodline power allowing him to forcibly smash the aura into pieces without a break in speed.

"WHAT!?" Meng Zhang was taken aback when he saw his attack failed, he did not notice Masaru who appeared behind him till he felt several hits against his head as Masaru kept slamming his fist into Meng Zhang's head until he was forced to retreat.

SWOOSH!

While retreating Meng Zhang swang his tail to hit Masaru who kept flying close to his face,

BANG!

"GROAH!" Meng Zhang cried when his tail slammed his own face, the force of his own attack was enough to send himself crashing straight into the arena leaving nothing but clouds behind, the arena that was once there was no more.

Masaru laughed at him while teleporting at several positions to confuse Meng Zhang, since the battle was on the ground (Clouds) Masaru could use his unique movement techniques to further harass this little lizard.

If it was not for the grimoire, then Meng Zhang would have been able to predict where Masaru would go. However, right now he could only roar in anger.

The Gods and Goddess were all perplexed at how stupid it looked when Meng Zhang hit himself with his own attack, although Meng Zhang was not weak nor was he slow. He was only matched up with someone special who could enrage him, while using peculiar abilities to keep up with him.

Lin was the only one who felt complicated about this situation. 'Could it just be my imagination?' She thought

"I will kill you!" Meng Zhang roared as his entire body began to shrink,

Masaru glances at him with a confused expression 'Why does he transform so many times? Is this his ultimate form? Does he think he is Freeza?'

Masaru shook his head while looking unamused at Zhang who changed into a humanoid dragon but unlike Masaru who had his handsome human face, Meng Zhang's appearance would have made him being recognized as a Lizardman if it was not for his wings which sprouted on his back.

[Oi oi! Be careful Masaru! That man became mad!] Drago cried out causing Masaru's instinct to scream, just as he was about to move back Zhang appeared in front of him.

"Now you can die!" Meng Zhang muttered

BANG!

Masaru managed to block the attack by crossing his arms, yet he could feel his arms becoming numb from the force of the strike had caused him. His eyes squinted when he noticed that a particular scale he noticed emerged from Meng Zhang, was still present.

[To think he would activate his inverse scale, he is burning not only his blood and life. He is burning his existence as a dragon to kill you] Drago explained something incomprehensible, but Masaru could understand this power-up had massive demerits despite giving an increase in strength allowing Meng Zhang to have the physical abilities of a High-class God.

The ground tremored as Masaru's feet began to sink into the ground under the force of Meng Zhang's strike creating a crater around him, Meng Zhang smiled sinisterly as he felt exhilirated that he regained his upper hand against Masaru completely forgetting that he would die after this battle unless someone aids him on time to save his life.

"Doesn't it reminds you of how we met little Pussy Cat" Zhang smiled sinisterly, he no longer cared about his reputation, no longer cared about his seat as the Azure Dragon God. All he cared about was to kill the fake in front of him.

Lin Guang who heard him felt her face began to lose blood as it became pale,

'No no no! We came too far for you to screw it up!' Lin thought as she suddenly sprouted her pair of nirvana flame wings taking off to confront Meng Zhang in order to silence him before he spouted their plans to everyone.

Suddenly a burst of Holy light formed a pillar right in front of Lin Guang forcing her to stop in her tracks as she watches a handsome blonde-haired man descending the pillar, Lin Guang naturally knew some of the upper echelons of Heaven so he immediately recognized this man.

"Uriel... What do you think you are doing? This is a internal affair, intervening would be taken as a declaration of war from heavens? Lin glared at the man who was smiling at her.

"I have come to aid you Wonderchild, or should I call you. Wonder Satan, considering your rank up to True Satan Rank" Uriel smirked as he could see Masaru's lip twitch at the ridiculous name this angel just named him,

"Your late Uriel" Masaru muttered, with his back up here he immediately responded with a fierce kick in Meng Zhang's groin.

BANG!

"OE!" All the men shivered as they felt a cold breeze pass by their crotch when they clearly captured the kick of Masaru, including Meng Zhang who arrogant face suddenly cramped up becoming white, then blue before becoming purple as tears spilt out,

With Meng Zhang stepped back, Masaru had some room to breathe as he glanced at Uriel before turning his attention back to Meng Zhang "Now then, Fake Azure Dragon God"

hearing Masaru's mocking tone, including the fact that he was being called a fake. All the pain suddenly became a power for his rage as he roared causing a shockwave to blast out to the surroundings with his dragon aura fiercely destroying the air and space surrounding him making it appear as if his surroundings was breaking apart like a old tv.

"MASARU!!!!!!!" Meng Zhang roared as his pupils disappeared, leaving only scarlet coloured eyes as he finally snapped. His dragon wrath was completely activated.

Masaru smirked as he began to gather his energy to face Meng Zhang with everything he had, his azure coloured dragon aura was fiercely fluctuating as Masaru kept absorbing the power from the clouds to supplement his strength.

"Zhang what are you doing!?" Lin Guang felt anxious as she screamed at Zhang who screamed hysterically when she saw that he lost himself in his Dragon's wrath she felt her dreams cracking up.

"I have to thank Qlippoth for giving me this barrier technique, with the barrier no one can stop me from ruining the Ritual! I will be taking Byakko for myself and find Kouryuu to take her powers" Meng Zhang roared out while laughing when he sensed his powers has elevated to a new level,

The Chinese mythology to have darkened faces, many coveted Kouryuu's power but they would never risk the safety of their homeland for it. To think that there was someone amongst their midst that would dare to use the country as a stepping stone for his power, they could no longer side with Meng Zhang regardless if he was right or wrong. Because what the gods believed the most was, to keep their country safe.

"I trust you can keep her Occupied?" Masaru asked without looking behind him,

Uriel who smirked "You are looking down on me little devil, I will show you what a true Seraph is"

With this Uriel flew towards Lin as the two of them combatted against one other Holy Light vs Nirvana Flame, seeing the two of them started Masaru did not want to be left out as he teleported right in front of Zhang,

"My turn" Masaru said as if to return what Meng Zhang said to him, with his fist covered in dragon divine aura he slammed his fist into Zhang's face destroying his nose while forcing Meng Zhang to take several steps backwards, but it was just the beginning...
