The Glorious Evolution

Although Drayven saw Levi’s blades were made out of sunflames and void, he wasn’t fazed... his confidence in his strength was absolute, unshaken.

”As you wish!”

Drayven launched himself off the ground and flew toward Levi like a bullet... his claws suddenly caught molten lava, and his wide-open jaw showed a concentrated plasma beam forming in his throat.

The instant he was no less than a hundred meters from Levi, he roared in his direction.

”PERISH, VERMIN!”

The beam fired at his command, reaching Levi in an instant... yet Levi blocked it with his rapidly spinning twin fangs. The sunflame blade and the void blade competed to see which one would devour the plasma beam the fastest!

With Harmonic Spine showing him a clear sight of Drayven’s internal system behind a transparent scarlet skin, it was nearly impossible to ambush him with such an attack. He could see the beam getting developed and knew exactly what to do.

The viewers watched with widened eyes and hearts beating out of their chests as Levi walked forward while slicing off the scarlet beam left and right, his blades so powerful, they could cut through anything... for they were manifested out of the most aggressive energies in the universe.

”Bastard!!”

Drayven’s expression turned nasty as he closed his mouth shut, understanding that he was doing nothing but showing the universe... that he wasn’t Him!

In a fit of rage, Drayven swung his lava claws in an X mark the instant he arrived in front of Levi... the claws fired an X-shaped seething lava projectile!

Levi felt the heat assault his face, but he didn’t show much reaction... this kind of heat was nothing before what he went through in the aftermath of using the Sun Form.

He clutched the center of the staff and swung aggressively while pulling off a combustion leap, hurling him into the sky... avoiding the lava projectile a mere inch away!

Yet, his swing was already in motion as Levi released the excess chain mechanism, allowing them to run free! With him already in the sky above Drayven, the swing allowed Levi to fake the initial swing and get pulled into the sky behind in a circular motion!

As Drayven glanced above his head, his slits thinned at the sight of Levi’s blades spinning five meters above his head and almost instantly appearing at the back of his sight!

”You wish!”

Drayven’s heightened draconic instincts were matched with a reaction speed just as potent... when the viewers thought that no one could avoid such a masterful counter-attack, Drayven proved to them why there were levels to this.

Boom! Boom!

Two instant bursts of concentrated flames were released from his wings from the right side... in almost an instant, Drayven was displayed a meter away from the blast zone.

However, the instant the Sunflame blade and Void blade touched in an X mark on the ground, the reaction was nuclear!

BOOOOOOOM!!

Drayven was knocked back hundreds of meters, but he wasn’t wounded as he managed to cover himself with his wings, allowing them to take the hit for him!

Thud! Thud! Thud!!

After the third roll, Drayven balanced himself with fire pulses and instantly lifted his head in Levi’s direction... he opened it as wide as an anaconda’s mouth. Then, he took the deepest breath in the shortest amount possible, inflating his lungs to the limit.

”SCARLET BREATH!!”

Whoosh!!!

A hurricane of orange flames rushed in Levi’s direction and covered his entire field of view! It left him feeling like his Harmonic Spine was showing him the inside of the sun!

All he saw was... FIRE

!Yet, Levi was someone who had done thorough research on Drayven and all of his opponents... the scarlet breath technique was within his knowledge, which allowed him to automatically use the prepared countermeasure!

’Ring of Feast!’

He exclaimed inwardly as he tightened his grip on the chains and swiftly spun them rapidly while timing aetheric bursts to propel them ten times their speed in an instant!

The atmosphere and the incoming cloud of fire were sucked in Levi’s direction like he was holding two mini-black holes!

It wasn’t far-fetched to call it such, as the rings of void and sunflames were spinning so fast, they were no longer visible... in their place, a complete black and a white circle showed with massive rings of orange appearing around them, resembling event horizons!

Jasmine and the watchers could only watch with captivated expressions.

”The Celestial is showing everyone why he is worthy of the nickname!!” Gamemaster Gamble shouted excitedly, ”HE IS WIELDING CELESTIAL BODIES!”

Following his thunderous voice, Levi launched himself in Drayven’s direction with Sun Jets and dragged behind him the horrific spinning rings!

’Shit!’

Drayven’s instincts instantly warned him that he wouldn’t be fast enough to evade it in time... this forced him to switch to turtle mode, covering his body with his wings while releasing torrents of burning magma from his system!

A thick magma barrier formed almost instantly, resembling a dragon egg about to crack!

Alas, the barrier stood no chance against a triple-layered attack that included his own flames, insane kinetic force, and the destructive property of these two energies’ reaction!

Ka-BOOOOOM!!!

It imploded almost instantly, releasing a powerful flaming mushroom cloud into the roof, forcing Levi to shield himself from the recoil!

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

Both Levi and Drayven were sent flying outside the fire mushroom... the only difference was Drayven being in the impact zone... however, if Levi hadn’t let go of his staff at the last second, the recoil would have been enough to blow him into a bloody cloud!

The spectators watched with a stunned expression as Drayven’s rolling body smashed into the wall, releasing a thunderous echo!

Thud!

Drayven fell to the ground, leaving behind him a solid cracked imprint... he coughed a mouthful of blood, but he didn’t seem to notice it... his vision was disoriented, making him see double images of his shattered bloody arms.

”I... cough... I... am... losing?” Drayven muttered under his breath amidst his bloody coughs... his voice carried a hint of disbelief, like such a scenario was nothing but a funny joke.

But... he wasn’t laughing. Not when he felt his entire body melting from within... most of his organs heavily wounded.

Meanwhile, Levi regained his balance swiftly by using Sun Jets on his palms and soles... then, he knitted his brows coldly as he rushed in Drayven’s direction, piercing through the air like a ballistic missile!

He knew he couldn’t allow Drayven to recover... the moment his genetic miracle was activated, it would devour a chunk of his life force but return him to his peak form!

’Starpiercer!’

He switched to a firing stance, the gleaming Starpiercer manifesting in his hands from mesmerizing, triangle-like golden flowers!

Finger on the trigger.

His grip on the shoulder pad solid.

His arms were steady even during his flight.

The Starpiercer’s internal firing system was instantly active through the aetheric combustion on the back of the rifle. All Levi needed to do was aim and utter, ”Twin Voidflame Blast.”

Two spinning marbles manifested inside an aetheric green bullet-shaped construct inside the muzzle... one was black and the other gold.

The faster they spun around each other, the more distorted the bullet’s image got... before it could collapse, Levi released a low-pitched frequency with his mouth like a soundless whistle. It was soundless to the others, but not to its target.

Fire!

Levi pulled the trigger and watched as the agitated aetheric bullet reached hypersonic speed as it headed to Drayven!

Although he was disoriented, Drayven’s instincts were as sharp as ever... before Levi fired the bullet, his instincts already tingled and woke him up from his daze!

Immediately, Drayven’s vision and thoughts were cleared as he realized that he had no choice but to use his trump card... a trump card no one was able to force him to use... until now!

’So be it... the universe shall be blessed to see a speck of my Ancestor.’
