Battle in the City Hall(1)

BOOM!

The powerful impact resounded throughout the city hall and the surroundings, the blow was so powerful that it was able to destroy numerous buildings and dozens of square miles of land in one blow around the City Hall in the 1st City Section, except for the City Hall that could still withstand it. That kind of power is at the level of low-yield Nuclear bombs! Luckily there are no citizens around the area which made Nogla might cause collateral damage.

As for the group, fortunately Sherene uses a barrier to protect her, the group, and the entire Paladins in the Hall. Witnessing the blow, Vanoss, Julian, Sherene, and the Boys stared with their mouths wide open at the overwhelming strength Nogla had shown.

[69-Struck] is not to be to joke about, while it seems like some joke and ordinary Martial Art skill. It is not like any other, with each attack the user does, his strength and speed will increase two times than before until it reaches the 69th sequence, which could decimate an entire city or a Mountain the stronger Nogla gets. However, its full potential is still unknown, but an ancient text says the previous user of the skill could potentially destroy a world with it. By the time the group learned it, it shivered to every single one of them. With Nogla's low intelligence, nobody will know if Nogla is doing something reckless. Vanoss immediately regrets giving him it; he might have probably caused the end of the world.

But right now, Nogla's full attack is on a Small Town level, but it is still enough to heavily injure a Legendary Realm expert.

Unfortunately, that strength was not enough to take down the Duke.

As though Nogla's attack was a lie, the Duke landed on his feet. He looked at his chest where he received the blow and coughed a mouthful of blood. Then, he glared at the panting Nogla with a look of rage.

"Damn retarded brat!"

Instantly, his mana turned into a blood-red dragon that attacked Nogla.

Fortunately, Vanoss was nearby and managed to push Nogla away. Then, he shot with his AK-47 in the direction of the barrier.

The Duke's expression changed. He turned his mana into several blood-red spears then attacked Evan.

But...

"[Holy Protection!]" Sherene was there, creating several barriers in front of Vanoss. She then raised a hand casting a new spell. "[Curse of Maladroitness!]"

Instantly, the Duke felt as though something was taken from him. His movements turned slow, his body turned heavy, and he felt he lost his battle experiences.

Using that opportunity, Moo orders the Warden to unleashed another powerful sonic boom towards the barrier protecting the node!

"Useless!" The Duke laughed while the sonic boom was being repelled by the barrier.

With a bellow, the creature in his chest opened its mouth, swallowing a torrent of mana and freeing the Duke from Sherene's spell. He then immediately dashed towards the Warden and gathered his mana into his palm and made contact into the Warden's chest.

"[Implosion!]"

Before anyone could realize, the Warden blew up into pieces, the Netherite armor, blood, and gores of the Warden scrambled all over the area.

The most strongest mob in Minecraft... has died.

Moo: [GIF]

Losing one of his greatest beasts, Moo couldn't utter a word before he showed an enraged expression.

"You... little... FAGGOT!!!!!!!!!!"

Stealing a magic Saber from Wildcat, who is utterly stunned and shocked after hearing Moo's words, he immediately dashed towards the Duke with immense vengeance in his eyes.

But he was not alone as Julian dashed alongside Brock against the Duke.

During that time, Moo and Julian had arrived in front of him, one of them wielding his two daggers in a crisscrossed stance while the other slashed with a magic saber towards the creature in his chest.

The Duke hurriedly cast a new barrier, barely stopping Julian's daggers at the cost of a small injury on an arm. But due to that, he was unable to evade Moo's attack.

The Duke was planning on using his mana to cast a barrier to stop the saber, but in the last second, a strong feeling of danger made him use his left arm to protect his chest from Moo's attack.

And at that moment...

Swish!

The saber cut through the barrier of mana easily, severing the duke's arm into two.

The Duke's eyes turned round. An enormous pain assaulted his body, and his mind blanked.

"Die, you pissed of SHIT!!!"

But then, the creature on his chest opened its mouth and...

"SCREEEEEECCHHHHHH!!!"

The creature's shrill cry was like a hammer that hit Moo and Julian's mind. Their bodies stiffened involuntarily, and their faces twisted in pain.

During that time, the creature extended several tentacles that pierced towards them.

Delirious arrived at that moment. With the Duke now in his skill's range, he was about to unleash it and instant death his ass.

"You are going down, motherfucke-"

Wrack!

Getting a bitch slap from one of the tentacles, launching him to the other side of the room in an instant. But at the same time, Delirious felt he was about to pass out.

Delirious' yelling and cursing seemed to have awoken the Duke from the shock of losing an arm. His face twisted in hatred and his mouth let out a terrifying cry.

"BASTAAAAAAAAARDS!!!"

Following his cry, the mana around him turned into a colossal Hydra with hundreds of heads attacking everyone around him.

"[Fate!]" Sherene's spell came at that moment. Her sacred and holy mana turned into a barrier that stopped the Hydra's attack briefly, then Delirious and the others were pulled away from the duke.

"[Hero's Reward!]" Sherene's second spell was cast. The powers of Fate from the Goddess were wielded by the Saintess and turned into a reward towards the people fighting for the wellbeing of the world.

Moo and Julian felt their minds clearing, and the pain caused by the creature's screech dissipated. The pair did not stay still, and instead, they resumed their attacks on the Duke. However, the Duke seemed like he had turned crazy. Blood-red mana surrounded him, turning into blood-red flames that seemed to represent the rage he was feeling.

"CURSED BASTARDS!!! DIE!!!"

The flames turned into a pillar that rose until the clouds and fell towards the group!

The group expressions' changed. Sherene tried to stop the flames using her barriers, but the flames were much stronger than before. It was as though the Duke's strength had grown exponentially.

Although it was not in the domain of a Demigod yet, it was definitely near!

Out of options, the group could only disperse around the city hall to escape the Duke's flames. But at that moment, the Duke revealed his real target!

When the group was divided, he appeared in front of Vanoss and cast a tongue of flames!

"YOU ARE MINE!!!"

Vanoss' opened his eyes wide. In the last second, he pulls out two Enchanted Shields, at the same time he gathers his own mana in front of him, turning into a thick shield that protects him from the flames.

But then...

BOOM!!!

The flames exploded, sending Vanoss flying away.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Evan!" Everyone shouted in panic, instantly jumping towards the Duke to stop him from chasing after Vanoss. The Duke smirked and answered with another tongue of flames that exploded in front of them.

"Agh!"

"Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! USELESS!!!" The Duke kept repeating the word many times and laughed crazily. "You can't win against me! I can feel myself becoming stronger! I CAN FEEL MY LIFE HAS À̵̪̪̮́̇͠S̵̮̟͂͒̀C̸̳̻͖͙͇̎͋̂͆͝E̴̘̼̬͊̍̽̕Ņ̸̛͖̝̭͐͝D̶̛̙͉̎̌͗̚"

But suddenly, his expression changed. Instinctively, he looked in the direction he sent Vanoss flying.

There, he saw Vanoss standing beside the barrier protecting the node with a mocking smile.

With a mocking gaze, he shot the barrier with a Glock into the barrier, penetrated through it with ease and created a small hole.

Of course, a mere Glock was not enough to destroy the node, but Vanoss was not done yet.

With his right hand, he threw a small C4 inside the barrier before facing the duke with a simple smile on his face.

"🙂"

"N̶̩̖̔̈́̓͗ọ̸̘̯͖͌!̷̪͔̬̯̳͆̚ ̸̲͈̿N̵̺̹̍̔̀O̶̥͚̲̟͛͗̓!̵̛̱͔̎̊̃!̶̛̘̤͈̿!̷̖̭̆̽̐ ̴̺͛̊̀͋̓S̵̘̹͑͑͝T̴̨̛͇̓̂̆͘O̴̢̪̻̊́̇P̵̰͇͇͎̌̎̈́͝!̷̪̱̼̅̀͑̑!̶̢̩̬̓̀!" The Duke screamed in panic, but it was too late.

Click!

BOOOOMMMM!!!

The second node was destroyed.
