Awakening The Only SSS-Rank Class! Now Even Dragons Obey Me Chapter 638: Clearing The Last Trial

Daniel stood still. Partly to catch his breath, and partly to synchronize himself. His heartbeat slowed, then faded. His thoughts were scattered.

He had more or less understood the content and purpose of this floor, and he knew what he had to do to end it. Still, he had to hope that his approach would work.

The guardian moved, but this ti Daniel did not flinch.

The Heavens Honor rose, and he began to fight with precise, endless control. The clash of blade and fist shook the space.

Daniel did not retreat, and neither did the guardian.

For the first ti, Daniel did not let eternity "flow." He kept it fixed. A halo ford around his body that neither expanded nor shrank. Every mont was exactly the sa mont.

The guardian’s punch ca, but Daniel twisted half a step. The fist passed by his side, as if its path had been defined a little too late. Daniel answered with his elbow, not to deal damage, but to fix the distance. The blow landed, and this ti both of them stepped back.

The guardian raised his hand. From the void, a sword was ford, not light, not matter, but the endless repetition of a single mont. The blade was smooth, without a clear edge, yet every movent of it cut through space.

The swords collided.

Daniel swung horizontally, the guardian blocked vertically. The guardian’s fist ca, Daniel took it with his shoulder.

The impacts were not heavy, but every exchange changed part of the "definition of battle." There was no ground anymore, no direction. Only two beings trying to bend eternity into their own shape.

[ Eternal Judgnt ]

A massive sword ford from eternity itself and covered the entire sky. The surrounding space began to tremble, as if it could collapse at any mont.

The giant sword ca down.

For the first ti, the guardian stepped back. He raised his eternal sword, the two blades collided, and a wave of stillness swallowed everything. No explosion, no light. Just a montary void that compressed both of them.

Daniel’s attack failed, but he was not injured. Still, a frown appeared on his face. The guardian of this floor was much stronger than he had thought. Even so, it was not a problem.

The guardian opened his other hand, and space twisted around Daniel. No strike ca, but the pressure made everything heavy. Daniel felt that if he made one wrong decision, that decision would repeat forever.

His sword strike was soft, but precise. This ti, the guardian’s body cracked, and the crack remained. It did not close. The guardian countered, his blade cutting Daniel’s cheek, but no blood flowed. Only the mory of pain remained.

Both stepped back. For the first ti, the guardian slightly lowered his head. It seed he had finally acknowledged his opponent.

Daniel tightened his grip on the sword. His body did not hurt, but his mind felt heavy. He now knew how to fight, but he still did not know how to finish it. His idea had not worked.

The halo of eternity around his body did not change, but its aning did. It was no longer a shield, nor a battlefield. It beca part of his existence, like a shadow you do not need to think about.

The guardian moved. His hands spread, and space compressed. Paths shortened. Daniel saw that the attack was ford before the decision itself.

The guardian’s strike descended, and stopped. It did not hit a wall, nor was it blocked. It simply reached a point where it could not continue. Daniel raised his sword and, with a simple and unadorned motion, shattered the guardian’s eternal blade.

This was exactly what he had learned in this Pagoda. Now that he could fully use the law of eternity here, why shouldn’t he do it?

The sword collapsed, like a concept that no longer had any use.

The guardian leaped back. For the first ti, the order of his movents broke. He slamd his hand into the ground, and the endless surface beneath them rippled. Hundreds of layers of "now" overlapped, each trying to bury Daniel within itself.

Daniel did not even have ti to breathe and was forced to respond imdiately.

He raised his hand, and the sa judgnt, this ti without any display, occurred within him. A wave of eternity spread out.

The layers collapsed one by one.

The guardian roared. His voice sounded like a law cracking. His body grew larger, the lines of his existence thickened, as if he were trying to regain superiority through sheer mass. His fists ca down one after another, without pause.

Daniel stepped in.

His sword moved, not fast, but on ti. Every strike landed before the punch could fully form.

Each clash invalidated one of the guardian’s decisions. A fist hit Daniel’s shoulder; he did not move. A knee strike ca and was stopped with the palm. A new eternal blade ford in the guardian’s hand and was cut in half with a simple slash.

The guardian tried to close the space. Daniel ignored space.

He took one step forward, and the ground beneath the guardian collapsed. The intense pressure of Daniel’s eternity halo forced the guardian to his knees.

The guardian tried to stand. He could not. Even though he had no eyes, he could see clearly, and his gaze fell on Daniel. The pure eternity flowing from Daniel’s body had surpassed even him.

Daniel rested his sword on his shoulder and looked at him.

The halo of eternity compressed. Ti, space, possibility, everything gathered into a single point. The guardian’s final resistance rose like a weak wave and was extinguished on the spot.

His knees slamd harder into the ground.

Daniel lowered his sword. He did not strike. There was no need. The guardian was no longer an enemy. The problem had already been solved. During the battle, Daniel had realized that the goal was not to defeat the guardian, but to obtain his acknowledgnt.

"Congratulations. You have proven your worth to beco eternity, and you have conquered this Pagoda," the being said before disappearing.

After that, space collapsed, and the world around Daniel went dark for a mont, until he found himself standing before a massive sacred building.

A place he knew very well.

The Church of Eternity.
