The Glorious Evolution

Chapter 351: The Celestial vs Drayven. IV

Gamemaster Gamble’s eyes widened as he watched the Corona Tongues getting pulled into the sky, spinning around each other in a spherical fashion until about a hundred-meter Sun was born!

Although it wasn’t created off nuclear fusion, the sun was born out of concentrated sunflames from Levi’s ultimate ability... this ultimate ability was created personally by the Ancestral Sun Tree. So, its perfection for its level was unquestionable!

The instant the Sun was fully created with solar flares and corona storms raging across its surface while spinning a hundred meters above Levi’s head, his body stopped burning.

With 15% resonance access, Levi could do more than create techniques... he could manipulate his unlocked innate abilities by adding extra details to them!

In this case, he switched his ultimate ability design from creating a tempest of solar flames around him, he gathered them into a Sun!

’Aetheric infusion... a true lifesaver.’

While Levi appeared on the outside like an unkillable cockroach with a massive ego, his heart was beating outside his chest, pumping adrenaline like there was no tomorrow.

The pain almost fried his mind alive, but Levi toughened through it with the help of aetheric infusion, which acted as a coating layer... still, it didn’t stop the burning entirely and if it wasn’t for him recalling his purpose, his goals, the justice, and his promises, he would have been a goner.

He simply couldn’t allow himself to die from pain... not after everything he went through and did.

Dying from an instant attack was one thing, but to die because he couldn’t survive the agony? Never!

”Cute Sun you have there...” Drayven sneered mockingly as he flew behind his massive scarlet sun. Then, he uttered coldly as he flapped his wings twice, ”Can it do this?”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The scarlet sun released two powerful plasma flares in Levi’s direction, resembling gigantic scarlet blades!

Levi stared at the incoming plasma flares and merely switched his weapon to the violin... he rested it above his shoulder and lifted his head slowly.

”It can... and better.”

Before his voice could reach Drayven, it was devoured by an aggressive melody meant for death, battles, and wars.

It was so loud and high-pitched that it might sound jarring to those with weak eardrums... but, Levi wasn’t playing for the audience, but for the Sun above him.

His melody matched with the sunflame’s frequency and since Levi unlocked Melody Aspect, he could now do more than just agitate energies to reach resonance.

He could control them like an Orchestra Conductor... each note meant an order!

Whoosh Whoosh!

His Sun responded instantly, firing two golden solar flares in direction of the scarlet flares... the two massive flares clashed against each other in the middle of the room!

Following a brief flash, Drayven and the viewers were left stunned to see the plasma flames eaten! The contact didn’t produce an explosion, but a one-sided bullying!

Drayven’s expression turned nasty at the sight of the golden solar flares heading in his direction... he wanted to show the universe the true prowess of the Scarlet Dragons by defeating a Half-Radian with a Plasma Sun... After all, it didn’t feel nice to be known as a lesser race of Radians aspect-wise.

Dragons were supposed to reign supreme when it came to flames and heat... instead, Radians put them in second forever.

Now, Levi showed him why that was nothing but a foolish dream of his.

Radians’ sunflames could never lose against any aspect below it... like fire, plasma, magma, or any other heat-based energy. It reigned supreme, now... and always!

Still, Drayven refused to accept it and kept blowing more plasma flares in Levi’s direction... he kept going at it, but it did nothing but enlarge Levi’s corona flares! How could you destroy an entity with something that it feasted on?

BOOOM BOOOM!!

The corona flares emitted mini-explosions on the scarlet sun! They couldn’t devour it as well, but they left a decent damage. The scarlet sun’s spherical body twisted for a short while before it was restored back to normal thanks to Drayven’s efforts.

He added more plasma into it and then he focused back on Levi... but once he faced his direction, he felt dread arise within his heart.

The combat room was filled with solar flares rushing his direction nonstop, their speed increasing the faster Levi played!

It was like the Sun and Levi were linked as one through frequencies... sharing the same radio signal, what he wanted to do, the Sun delivered!

’Simply insane... what Ash’Kral did to him... how can he turn a mere human into this.’ N’ibby’s eyes displayed a tint of astonishment as she watched Levi walking forward while commanding a Sun above him through a tune.

What she saw in him reminded her of the insanely talented prodigies in her time... but the difference was that those prodigies were born in an era rich with natural energies... Not like him.

’Maybe it’s not a mistake to allow Jasmine accompany him... he might be able to help her in the long run.’

As her stubborn mindset was slowly being melted under Levi’s influence, he didn’t think about either of them... no, he didn’t think about anything or anyone at the moment.

The only thing roaming through his mind was maintaining such a precise and sensitive link as much as he could... he knew, a single mistake that could make him get out of tune would break the connection.

’This bastard... he just wants to keep upstaging me all the time!’ Drayven’s expression turned hateful as he rushed in direction of his own scarlet sun... then, he sunk his claws into it and spun around while dragging it behind him.

The claws were for show as he was truly controlling it through his insane 90% Solarity Access... he didn’t want to just defeat Levi, he wanted to do it in the most spectacular way possible after using his Ancestral Form. Otherwise, he would ruin his Ancestor’s legacy instead of uplifting it.

This was the last thing he dared to do considering what an Ascendant meant for each Trueborn... they could curse Radians and any other Ancient race, but not do it once to their Ancestor.

That’s the kind of worship and respect they had for him.

”CELESTIAL!!! LET ME SEE YOU HEAL FROM THIS!”

Following his thunderous roar, Drayven stopped spinning and launched the scarlet Sun akin to a cannon blast!

The massive scarlet sun pierced through the immense combat room and smashed against the rain of solar flares, causing forceful mini-explosions to resound on the way!

But... they weren’t able to stop it.

Seeing this, Levi drew his bow across the violin sharply... the instant the Sun heard his order, it started spinning rapidly in direction of the incoming scarlet sun!

The size difference left the viewers wondering if Levi’s sun was going to be enough... but all they could do was watch with awed looks as the two suns got closer to each other.

A second later.

A third of the viewers closed their eyes reflexively, believing that their contact was going to cause a powerful blinding explosion... instead what blessed their ears was nothing but silence.

’Huh? It can’t be?’

’Did Gamemaster deafen our ears for our protection?’

’What the...’

The viewers opened their eyes one by one just to have their pupils widen to the limit at the sight of Drayven’s Sun almost gone within Levi’s Sun.

If it wasn’t for the bit of its scarlet light showing around Levi’s Sun, they would have thought that Drayven canceled it or something.

Meanwhile, Drayven was even more stunned than them.

”Impossible... one of my ancestor’s most powerful techniques... it failed? Just like that?”

He muttered in disbelief under his breath as he stared at his Ancestor’s Sun getting feasted on. He could do nothing but watch, understanding that he had just made the worst decision of his life.

The decision to show off his ancestor’s techniques before a cornered rat.

Now... Levi was unstoppable, as for him? His Ancestral Manifestation started dying off on its own... His body shrunk inside a scarlet fog.

When the steam cleared out, what remained behind was no longer the fearsome scarlet dragon, or even the aggressive Drayven... it was a shriveled lizard, its scales and skin stuck to his bones like a hollowed corpse.

He seemed weak and frail like he could be killed by a mere wind gale... and yet, Levi didn’t underestimate him in the slightest.

He pointed his bow in Drayven’s direction for a split second and then dragged across the violin from left to right... from Drayven’s vision, it looked like Levi made a cutthroat finishing gesture. But, it wasn’t the last thing he saw... it was the massive golden Sun flying in his direction!!

”Celestial... this, this isn’t over. I am going to reclaim my rightful victory sooner or later... don’t die before then!” Drayven uttered, his voice raspy and faint... but he knew, Levi could hear him.

As the Sun was falling in his direction, Drayven used his sole resignation token and disappeared behind the thunderous mini-supernova born after his departure...

Levi said nothing in reply... he just allowed himself to get hit by the shockwave, his burnt clothes fluttering against the wind.

He slowly lowered the violin and the bow... then, he glanced upward toward the starry sky filled with star-like eyes.

He saw their immense emotions written in their pupils, knowing that their cheers should be loud enough to shatter the sound barrier... but he heard nothing, and Levi liked this kind of peace more than their cheers.

Hence, instead of addressing them like many expected after such an insane battle, Levi merely gave them a slight performer bow with the violin in hand... not for watching him fight, but for listening to his tunes.

Then, he showed them his back and descended to the ground.

On the other side?

CELESTIAL!! CELESTIAL!! CELESTIAL!! CELESTIAL!...

Gamemaster Gamble was hyping the already hyped up crowd, turning Levi’s name into a unified chant... no more Drayven, no more conflict.

It was just the Celestial.

Why?

Because he showed them... he was still the strongest!
