Ery, with a calculated certainty, believed that the Kronos faction wouldn't risk causing significant harm in a city as close to Golden City. His intentional taunting of the grand magus was a deliberate move to assess the grand magus power. However, keen on preventing any collateral damage and ensuring the safety of the others, he chose to transform the situation into a one-on-one duel between them.
Surveying the sizable holes in the castle walls caused by their clash, Ery turned his attention to the imposing figure of the elderly grand magus before him. With a wry smile, he remarked, "Amazing, powerful enough to break so walls."
The irritation in the grand magus expression deepened, and he retorted, "I want to see your face after I break all your bones." As he spoke, the grand magus channeled magical energy into his fists, ready for a devastating assault.
To level the playing field against a grand magus, Ery unleashed the transformative power of his [Twilight Transformation], causing pitch-black and silvery fur to envelop his entire body. Simultaneously, he activated [Immortal Gate Stage 7], amplifying his physical attributes to their utmost potential.
[Battle Power Increased by 80]
[Battle Power Increased by 128]
The numbers flashed in his consciousness as his stats soared:
But Ery wasn't done yet. Drawing upon the innate abilities of his wolf form, he invoked [Paragon's Blessing], adding another 50 to his power. A mighty roar followed, granting him an additional 20.
[Battle Power: 475 (753)]
Ery, now a powerhouse with his body surging with enhanced might, chose to et the grand magus fist with his own and create a spectacle of raw power.
KABOOMM!!!
Waves of energy rippled through the air, causing the surrounding space to distort. The ground beneath their feet crumbled, leaving behind shattered fragnts of stone as testimony to the intensity of their collision. Both figures were thrown back, each taking a similar half-dozen steps; the confrontation was set on equal footing.
The resounding boom echoed through the Terra castle backyard, drawing the attention of those watching. They were stunned to witness Ery, a re half-moon magus, not only standing his ground but matching the strength of a grand magus. The disbelief prompted Heracles to scoff dismissively, "Huh! Lord Perses hasn't shown his real power yet!"
Ery, feeling a slight numbness in his fist from the previous clash, gaze at his opponent with a smile "If you want to intimidate , you need to do better."
As anticipated, the elderly grand magus, Lord Perses, began to gather power. An unseen force enveloped the surroundings, bringing palpable pressure that affected everyone nearby. Even Ery felt his body restrained by the intense force. It was not a spirit attack; instead, it was the power of domain, a manifestation of a cosmic power exclusive to those who had reached the grand magus level.
The sheer magnitude of Lord Perses' power sent ripples through the atmosphere, creating a charged field before he accelerated with astonishing speed, his fist pulsating with a massive force.
Ery skillfully managed to block the initial attack, but the sheer power of the blow lifted him from the ground, leaving him vulnerable to the subsequent strikes. The second blow weakened his defenses further, and the third one landed squarely on his chest.
BAMMM!!!
An explosive smash resonated through the air, cracking a few of Ery's bones and hurling him back a dozen ters as he spurted blood from his mouth.
With an authoritative gaze, the elderly grand magus spoke with an air of superiority: "Kneel and ask for forgiveness, and I might consider showing rcy."
Ery, drawing from his past experiences battling a few grand magus, understood that this encounter with Lord Perses was a unique challenge. Most previous confrontations had involved assistance from other formidable forces, and the banter with Kronos was more about strategy and wits. However, facing Lord Perses marked the first ti Ery truly tested himself against the physical might of a grand magus – one with domain-power enhancing combat abilities.
Acknowledging Ery's thoughts, the artificial being provided an average estimate, analyzing the elderly grand magus's previous speed and strength:
[Battle Power: 950].
Instead of instilling fear, this number ignited excitent within Ery. He whispered confidently, "Chututlu, let's do this!"
Darkness energy engulfed him as the real power of Khaos erged. With shadowy aura in the form of Khaos guardian of pestilence, Ery shredded the constraints imposed by the grand magus domain. His [blade claw], now covered in darkness, materialized, and with a confident smile, Ery declared, "My turn!"
Ery's movents were a blur as he lunged at the grand magus, claws gleaming in the ambient dark light. The grand magus, demonstrating remarkable reflexes, adeptly intercepted Ery's furious assault with precise blocks. When he was about to counter, Ery quickly utilized his [Blink] ability, vanishing and reappearing behind the grand magus, landing a powerful strike.
However, the grand magus's potent aura acted as an impervious shield, mitigating the impact of Ery's claws and allowing only superficial wounds to mar the elder's formidable figure.
"You bastard!!"
The grand magus responded with a primal roar, a visceral display of frustration that seed to reverberate through the air. In retaliation, the grand magus unleashed a devastating punch, the force of which rippled through space. Ery, prepared this ti, invoked his [Repulsion] spell to dodge and absorb so of the incoming power. The clash created an explosive shockwave.
BAAMMM!!!
Ery skidded across the battlefield, using the montum to regain his footing.
The spectators were enthralled by the spectacle, witnessing the clash of two formidable forces. The banter between Ery and the grand magus intensified, each word punctuated by the ferocious exchange of blows, creating a riveting display of skill and power.
The grand magus, leveraging his advantage in battle power and showcasing impeccable martial arts technique, proved to be a formidable opponent. Ery, in turn, relied on his refined darkness spells, greatly augnted by the power of Khaos, to counter the relentless assault.
For several minutes, the battle unfolded with neither side gaining a decisive advantage. The stalemate only fueled the frustration of the grand magus.
In a fit of rage, he decided to escalate the conflict by equipping his formidable weapons—golden tallic gauntlets that radiated an ominous energy. As the grand magus clenched both fists, a pulsating shockwave coursed through the entire battlefield.
With unbridled rage, he declared, "No more rcy. I am going to kill you now!" The gravity of his words hung in the air, signaling a dangerous escalation in the confrontation between Ery and the formidable grand magus.
