BOOM
Kent was hurled like a rag doll, slamming into a mountain 3 miles away.
ROAR
A towering giant of molten rock, with rivers of lava flowing across its body, roars, shaking the very ground beneath it. Its body seems to have been ford from the ground; however, that is not the case.
Just like with Orvath, whose fla can turn solid and form into armor, Balrion can also solidify his fla using it to augnt his beast form.
But that isn’t all: aside from solidifying his fla, he can also increase the weight, making his fist a deadly armant.
Kent, along with Sylvara, Kaelith, Zeraphine, and Orvath, had just arrived in the Molten Abyss, and as they expected, Balrion was waiting for them.
Kent, of course, tried to reason with him, but Balrion said that if he could last 20 minutes with him, he would willingly beco his subordinate.
Naturally, Kent knew he was on his own, so he faced him only to be sent flying like a doll.
"Damn, you punch like a mountain," Kent burst out of the mountain, his clothes torn to shreds. Thankfully, it is a soul item, so it started to repair itself.
"However, I am no pushover."
34,000 fla veins activated, and Kent’s strength rose severalfold.
"Again."
He moved, his tiny fist ard at Balrion’s own large fist.
"BOOM"
This ti, instead of being sent flying, Kent was only pushed back 400 ters, and Balrion moved back 3 steps.
"Interesting. You managed to push back." Balrion seed to recognise Kent’s strength, making him happy.
"I am no weakling, Balrion." Kent wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Balrion, who gave him a nod of recognition.
"In that case, why don’t we have a good battle?" At once, his 16-ter height was reduced to just 2 ters.
"I have compressed my height, which in no way has affected my strength. So be ready; things will beco more lively now."
Kent laughed. "In that case, let also get ready." The gauntlet Kent bought when he was preparing to assassinate the mbers of the Blue Fla Pill Palace appeared, and he put it on.
"I am ready," he said.
"Then let’s have a good battle."
Kent moved, and Balrion also moved, clashing in the air. The void cracked where the first impact happened, but it closed the next second as they started moving at top speed, landing devastating blows on each other.
"Hahahaha... I have never been this alive in the thousands of years I have lived," Balrion’s voice bood as he landed a punch on Kent’s chest, only for Kent’s fist to also connect with his ribcage.
Both were pushed back, but they clashed again the next second.
"I also feel alive, though I have only lived for 21 years..." Kent’s laughter filled the air as he was sent slamming into the ground.
A large crater was ford, but the next second, he shot back up, and the duel between brutes only seed to intensify.
"Brutes, they never know when to stop," Sylvara muttered, watching as Kent’s body started getting injured in many places, yet he showed no sign of backing down.
Balrion also had so cuts, but because his skin was made of stone, no blood seed to be coming out. However, molten lava seed to be seeping out from where he was being hurt.
Orvath looked at Sylvara and shook his head. "You are not a brute, so you wouldn’t understand. But we brutes actually see this as training. The more we are pounded, the stronger we beco."
"Even worse, why would one wish to go through this just for strength?" Clearly, Sylvara was worried about Kent, who wasn’t using his dragon bloodline.
This limited his strength, making him weaker than Balrion. However, she also knew this was what Kent wanted, and as such, she could only hope he walked out safely in the end.
’Then again, on the brighter side, with him hurt, I would have to take care of him.’
With this thought, she saw that perhaps the brutes aren’t muscle-headed after all.
---
Thirty minutes later, Kent and Balrion were injured to the point they needed to relax and heal.
"Hahahahahaha..." Balrion and Kent burst out laughing, almost like they had known each other for years now.
"Best day of my life," Balrion said, sitting down to heal.
" too," Kent said, also sitting down. "I never expected to et soone whose dedication to the path of Body Cultivation runs this deep."
"I am still a tad behind you, who has already attained the Nirvana Body."
"True, but I never really paid much attention to my body cultivation. However, today, you have enlightened ." Kent waved his hand, and green flas surrounded his body. He then did the sa, and it surrounded Balrion.
When Zeraphine saw this, her eyes narrowed.
"Is that..." She turned to Sylvara, who smiled at her before speaking.
"That is indeed Nirvana flas."
"No way," she said, her eyes sparkling as she finally saw a Nirvana fla for the first ti ever.
"Trust , he is much more impressive than you think," Sylvara said, making sure her man’s image was further painted bright in Zeraphine and the two other monarchs listening to her.
"I guess attempting to kill him was my mistake."
"That was indeed stupid. Trust , if he wanted, he would have killed you before you realised what happened," Sylvara said, causing Orvath and Kaelith to focus more on her.
"Was it him we felt days ago?" Kaelith asked, and Sylvara nodded.
"He ca asking to beco his ta beast. However, I attacked him with over 40 Tier 19 beasts only to lose almost half of my force, and I was completely suppressed.
Even in my beast form, I couldn’t do anything."
The three Monarchs turned and looked at Kent, who was laughing with Balrion.
"Maybe he can indeed kill that abomination," Orvath said, and the rest nodded.
"So you really believe you can kill that bastard?" Balrion asked, having now heard why Kent sought his help.
"I am. I just want you and the others to hold back his subordinates for at least an hour."
"Don’t worry, we will do more than hold them back."
Kent smiled, feeling like he had just found his long-lost brother. Their spirit level was the sa, showing just how much they were getting along.
’Kaizo is going to have a blast with him.’
Five hours later, all wounds, both internal and external, were healed. He went ahead and added six subordinates from Balrion, and then, with his newly gained allies, he sent them to look for the ingredients for the pills.
He had already received reports from the others that they had found so of the ingredients. Not all had been found yet, but they were still searching, so it was only a matter of ti.
"Fascinating," Balrion observed Sylvara’s innate beast body with a smile on his face. "Once I awaken my innate beast body, not even Ignarok can match physically."
"That is true," Kent said. "After all, you are a true Body Cultivator. It is only a matter of ti before you reach a level only a few immortals could asure up to."
After spending so ti handling so minor business, Balrion joined the voyage and began heading to the Eternal Nest, where Vey, the phoenix queen, lives.
