Chapter 40:- Fighting two Mid 3rd-orders [II]

[Agility: - 185 + [100] → 243 + [100]

Clang!

"Do you think by increasing your speed, you can then me down?" Darren rotated his body to perform a roundhouse kick. In counter, Aditya used his Crimson dragon wings to pull himself back to dodge the kick.

Seeing that his attack has failed, the calm look on Darren's face instantly changed. Like a fierce lion, he tightly closed his fists as he concentrated elemental mana in his fists.

Water Dragon!

Aditya's face changed seeing two eastern dragons made out of water coming at him from both sides. He threw a 5 meters big orb of Crimson flame to block both attacks while retreating back.

Booom!

"How did his low-tier attack block my water dragons?" Darren knew that there was something strange with these Crimson flames. Even from 5 meters distance, he can feel the terrifying temperature of the Crimson flames.

Swoosh!

Darren suddenly felt something aimed at his neck. At the very last moment, Darren moved his neck to the left to dodge the tip of the sword.

In that second, Darren rotated his body to see Aditya. 'How is he this fast?' Darren couldn't understand what was happening. Aditya was supposed to be a beginner 2nd-order cultivator, yet how is he matching the speed of a Mid 3rd-order cultivator. 'Unless he is using an artifact to increase his speed.'

Crimson Blink!

At that close distance, Aditya boldly used a molten bolt. Red-orange looking like a bolt was too fast for Darren to dodge. In the end, he tried to shield his body using a layer of mana but the bolt was too powerful for the mana layer to completely block the attack. The system had evolved his skill Molten bolt to Crimson Blink. After evolving, the power of his attack increased and also gave him one unique ability.

Bang!

Darren, a mid 3rd-order general was sent flying by the attack of a cultivator who just entered Second-order. The only reason Aditya was able to match Darren's speed was that he increased his agility using his free stats points and the combined boost from both 4th and 5th-star artifacts further increased his speed.

The Bracelet of Wind Fairy which is a Low-grade 4th-star artifact gave him an additional [100+] boost in his agility while the Crown of Seven Sea which is a Low-Grade 5-Star Artifact gave him a [20%] boost in his attacks. Aditya's attacks were already powerful due to his Crimson flame. Now with the [20%] boost, his attack power was further increased.

Boom!

Darren landed 15 meters away from Aditya. The flesh on Darren's chest had been slightly burned and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. "I should stop underestimating you." Darren wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Without caring about the wound on his chest he stood up and took out another sword from his storage ring.

"Both of his swords are Peak 2-star artifacts." As Rune Monarch class holder, Aditya can see tell the grade of Darren's swords with a single look. But he was still not sure what powers or buffs his both sword had.

Swoosh!

This time, Darren moved so fast that for a second Aditya's eyes lost track of Darren. When he blinked his eyes, he found Darren standing in front of him and swinging the sword that he held on his right at his neck.

'too fast' Aditya could see the sword vertically swing at his neck but his body was not fast enough to react.

Clang!

Drip!

"That hurts!"

Aditya fell on one knee while holding his right trapezius. There was a large cut on the area between his right shoulder and his neck. The red Crimson scales that were covering his shoulders and chest were now covered with his blood.

"I forgot that you can use your scales for your defense. Next time, I won't miss." If Aditya's Crimson dragon scales weren't covering his neck and shoulder, Aditya would have died from the attack. The attack was strong enough to break his scale and leave a deep cut mark on his right trapezius.

[_Health: - 124 /175]

Due to the blood loss, Aditya's health was constantly dropping. Every second his health was losing by half point.

Enduring the pain, Aditya stood up with his Peak 2-star Crimson Dragon Wrath sword. While Darren looked at Aditya in disdain and said. "Don't worry, I will give you an instant and painless death. Instead, I will make your soldiers and generals suffer in your place."

Bang!

The ground beneath Darren's feet shattered into a spider web as he used his full strength on his legs to jump toward his enemy.

Blast of Divine Fury!

While activating one of his skills, Aditya looked at Darren who was 5 meters above his head. Darren's swords glow in light blue as he aimed to slash Aditya in an 'X'-like fashion.

Booom!

At the last moment, Aditya moved out of the way to dodge the attack. Just as Darren crash-landed on the ground while missing his target, his target appeared behind him and slashed the Crimson Dragon Wrath sword aimed at his back.

Bang!

Critical Strike!

Ahh!

Darren let out a painful roar when the Crimson Dragon Wrath left a deep straight mark on his back. He reacted super fast and retreated back.

"What is this sword?" Darren looked at the sword that was surrounded by red Crimson flame in fear. He screamed as he literally felt his own flesh getting burned because of the attack.

[Crimson Dragon Wrath]

[Peak-Grade 2-star]

[Description]: - The grade of this sword has been increased by a Rune Master. The Sword now has become a perfect weapon for second-order fire-type cultivators.

[Function 1]: - The Crimson Dragon Wrath increases the power of fire-type attacks by [17%].

[Function 2]: - There are 50% chances of landing a critical hit on a 2nd-order cultivator. While there is a 25% chance of landing a critical hit on a 3rd-order cultivator.]

[Function 3]: - When this sword is used with the whole Crimson set of armor, the attack power of his sword is increased by [30%].

"How did it feel?" Aditya asked with a grin on his face. With the modification of his Blast of Divine Fury skill, Aditya now won't have to worry about his mana running out too quickly. Before using the passive skill Blast of Divine Fury consumed [5+] mana per second but now it only consumed [2+] mana per second. The skills temporarily increased Aditya's stats except for mana by [50%].

'I have to kill him quickly and then deal with the other 3rd-order.' Aditya knew that his 3rd-order pet Wyvern wouldn't able to hold general Dylan for much longer.

The critical hit had dropped Darren's health below a hundred. He was rapidly losing his blood causing his health point to drop by one every second. Taking the opportunity of Darren's retreat, Aditya quickly ate a healing pill that was given to him by his dear wife.

"Time to end this." Aditya has been waiting to use this ability for a while now. After his first dragon transformed, he got a new ability when his molten bolt evolved to become Crimson Blink.

Crimson Blink!

Red-orange color lightning began to flicker around Aditya's body. Before Darren can figure out what was happening, the crimson King disappeared.

"Where did he go?" Darren raised his guard to the max. He had this uneasy feeling in his heart. Darren then felt something coming from above. When he raised his head, his eyes flashed in fear seeing 7 bolts of lightning coming at him at rapid speed.

The speed of the 7 bolts was very fast. Faster than even Darren's current speed.

When the 7 bolts of red-orange lightning were only 1 meter away from the ground, all the 7 bolts of lightning suddenly combined, shocking Darren to his core. Before he could realize what was going on, in that moment of surprise and shock, the 7 bolts of lightning combined together and took the shape of Aditya's body.

Bang!

The last thing that Darren saw before getting his body cut vertically in half was the image of Aditya vertically swinging the Crimson Dragon Wrath.

[Ding! The host has killed a Mid-3rd-order. The host has gained experience points.]

[Ding! The host has leveled up]

[Ding! The host has leveled up]

[Ding! The host has level...]

Huff! huff!

"Now its' time to take care of the other general." Aditya wanted to finish everything before he run out of mana. All he needed to do was kill both 3rd-orders while the rest would be done by his capable generals.

Swoosh!

Aditya used his full speed to run toward the battlefield. Darren and he was fighting somewhere else to not involve any troops in their fight.

"Using this ability of the Crimson Blink has drained [100+] mana." This was the reason why Aditya didn't use the second ability of his evolved skill Crimson Blink. The attack was super strong but it came with huge mana consumption.

Meanwhile,

The 10 meters big Wyvern was fighting Dylan. While the other three Peak 2nd-order Wyverns helped the Istarin army.

Dylan was getting frustrated with each passing second. The lesser dragon who was his opponent was able to block most of his attack with its black Wyvern scales. His fire-type attacks had no effect on the Wyvern.

To make matters even worse, the Wyvern used a strange black flame that was even stronger than his fire-type attacks.
