[Sanzo’s Resolve…]

Masuyama then charged directly at me without showing any hesitation or worry sending consecutive slashing ice aura attacks.

He was using a pseudo-legendary sword that held the element of ice and contained a radiant blue cold aura around it that would send chills up your spine.

"Ice Wrath!!!"

Within seconds the energy materalized from sword turned into piercing icey shards of a crescent shaped energy slash, It measured around 2 meters he must've put an enormous amount of energy in that attack to make it that big and intimidating.

Seeing this I came to the conclusion that it would tear an average opponent to ribbons instantly on impact if it were to land at this moment I was definitely glad that I was born with tough Chaos dragon scales or I might've been toast from only this one attack.

If it were to hit me it still wouldn't be detrimental to me though as I took his attack head on with my forearm imbued with haki making me slide back a little by little denting the ground as I slid.

I also used my [Chaos Dragon Scales] to absorb the impact and the force of the energy but I noticed my arm was starting to slowly freeze up little by little as I was pushed back further and further making me slide on my my heels to regain my balance.

Once I regained my balance Sanzo had a look of torment on his face I could tell by his expression that he wasn't expecting me to come out unscathed if probably used ip a lot of mana to use that attack.

"Damn, that wasn't enough?! Then here how about this, Icy Fortress Of Death!!!"

I glanced up only to see I was surrounded by a large pillar of ice which was of course extremely cold to the point I could feel my scales starting to become numb.

It was lined with several 1m long icicles as sharp as blades there were lining the exterior of the fortress hanging from each side ready to impale me at any given moment on his command.

"Frozen Ice Shower.. Piercing Blades!"

They then began to glow a bright white blue color then launched towards simultaneously me at blazing speeds leaving blue energy particles behind as they hurled towards me.

I couldn't dodge now I was completely surrounded I could've used [Spatial Teleportation] but it was to late they were already too close I could feel my skin getting cold as the got closer I shut my eyes I'm bracing the impact.

Some of them ended up missing my body completely while one ended up piercing my right shoulder just barely missing my brachial artery and bicep.

One also pierced my left leg right above my kneecap severing the muscles and tendons there even managing to completely shatter my bones it left a large gaping hole that took a whole minute to regenerate completely.

I set there for what felt like days before I felt a hot tingling sensation near my chest as I looked down and seem warm bright red liquid gushing out from the freshly made wound.

"Rupture…"

I was in a daze I couldn't hear anything in my surroundings I just wondered what caused this what could be powerful enough to pierce my [Chaos Dragon Scales].

While I was in thought blood was still gushing out of the open wound as I snapped back to reality only to find an icicle protruding from the area where my lung was located.

As I realized what happened it made me stumble backwards losing balance I gasped for air thinking it would be more difficult now to maneuver if I had to constantly watch for attacks that could actually hurt me.

I absolutely shocked that my scales had been pierced like this so easily, and by a human at that was his attacks really that powerful the ice element shouldn't of done that much damage though I didn't understand.

His attack just now was seriously no joke I looked down and started feeling my chest feeling the intense pain I started feeling a rush of adrenaline and excitement having my first intense battle.

"Again, more bl-blood, why what is this?!

"What did you just do that was amazing wororororo!"

"I never imagined that human would have such rare sword and skill… it's no wonder you're the Royal knight captain, aye you little bastard you just caused me damage!

"Is it really that surprising? I'm prepared to die in this battle I'm giving it everything I got! You're one tough son of a bitch you know that?!"

"But still I genuinely thought that attack would've ended you right then and there… but I was wrong I guess you're not all talk like I thought you were!"

"Yes, well you've managed to pierce my chaos scales… it- it is surprising! I'm excited this-this is the best fight I've had since I've been in this world show me more!]

*Cough* *Cough*

"Hahaha, You're pretty damn strong but don't get ahead of yourself, I'm still merely getting started!"

"Interesting, I guess I should take this seriously then…" *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

Excessive amounts of dark red blood started filling up my mouth every time I tried to inhale as I could taste the iron every time it came up making me gag several times.

I spit a mouth full of blood 3 times as I struggled to catch my breath gurgling leftover blood each and every time making my stomach turn as I felt nauseous.

I could tell my lung got pierced and that it would be very difficult for me to win if it went on like this I couldn't give him the leverage and another chance to do a finishing attack.

Thankfully I had my unique passive skill called [Immortal Body] which enables me to heal from all wounds that are related to my body, it was the best skill I could've asked for honestly.

Without [Immortal Body] I wouldn't be a powerful as I am now it helped me regenerate damage made to my body almost instantly depending on the severity of the wound.

Although I could still feel all the pain of said damage I would still regenerate but one thing I couldn't heal from is soul based attacks still it was still an op skill in the end.

This ultimately meant that I would only be damaged by the strongest elements ,soul based or high-power magic attacks.

That being said they would still have to come from someone with sufficient energy or it wouldn't due significant harm me to me although I would still feel all the pain each time I regenerated.

I could regenerate from fatal wounds so as long as I could withstand the pain and had a strong soul not giving up the will to live my body would never die hence the name immortal body.

So I could only really be killed by soul based attacks, high-level magic or elemental attacks that could pierce my scales, ultimate, legendary or divine skills, getting completely disintegrated or even being eaten which I would never allow to happen.

I think that i'm a spiritual life form in a dragons body using it as some sort of vessel, so even if I was killed I would most likely revive after a couple thousand of years anyways.

Upon seeing this Masuyama broke out in sweat noticing the ability of my instant regeneration he lifted his brows in astonishment and I could feel the slight uneasiness he was now feeling I couldn't blame him anybody with a regeneration ability is someone to be wary of.

He readied his sword to go right back on the attack again but I could see a slight shaking of his hands I imagined his palms were all sweaty and his head was clouded with so many potential outcomes that he couldn't even process them fully.

I thought I almost seen a tinge of regret sweep over his face as he let out a long exaggerated sigh as his face tensed up for a moment he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He eventually ended up going back to his usual calm and cool demeanor as if nothing happened at all I admired how he kept a somewhat cool demeanor even in his situation.

I took a step back before we clashed again balancing myself ready to rush in head first and without any worries, I had no concerns about the sword he wielded I knew that I would still win regardless of the situation I was just too much to handle for just this one man no matter how strong he may have been.

A 1v1 my chaos infused claws against his unique-grade sword made of ice our battle ensued with everything on the line who would overcome this brutal battle that would set forth future events.

This had been the toughest opponent Chaos faced so far He couldn't imagine having to face a group of these guys all at one time the time for him to strike was now and he knew that best.

He needed to get this over with I didn't have the time to play around any longer so He decided to it was time to take this seriously, Chaos needed to have some sort of leverage to hold over the emperor in hopes that they could avoid a potential war.

It was now time to enact stage 2 of Chaos's plan if everything goes we're to go accordingly then they would be set for the future but only time will tell.

"Enough! Stop wasting my time ningen, you know what you're gonna have to use to defeat me…or are you just trying to stall until backup arrives? If you are then times gonna come to an abrupt end, I've grown tired of this repulsive empire."

"Like I would tell you,thats just something you'll have to figure out yourself…I'll make you pay for the words you just spoke, my only will is to beat you right here right now, I'll leave the rest to them!"

"Hoh how cheeky you are… well that's fine, I guess we should end this then, you really think you stand a chance huh, how foolish."

"I think that's enough talking let's settle this!"

"Yea I guess." *Yawn*

"You know… I was thinking, this is starting to get fun!"

*Pant* *Pant*

*Determined Smirk*

"Guhaha, I guess I concur… I was kind of thinking the same thing!"

*Demonic Grin*
