An Extra's POV

Chapter 503 Calamity Upon The Capital [Pt 8]

\'Three on one…\' His thoughts trailed as he tightened his blade. \'No. There were four… so where did the last one go? He was a Spatial Magic user, so maybe he\'s going for the ambush tactic…\'

Adonis couldn\'t overhear the conversation of the Dragon back then; whether it was due to his own lack of focus, or the way they spoke amongst each other.

He didn\'t know about Ser\'ith\'s mission… though knowing would make no real difference.

In the end, he still had to face his opponents.

\'Surprise attacks won\'t work on me in this state.\' All of Adonis\' senses were heightened to the max, and all his abilities had more than tripled.

Right now, he was overflowing with such overwhelming power that he felt he could do anything—take them on even.

But…

\'I have to be careful about the General. For now, I should focus on attacking the Commanders and leaving the General for last.\'

With that thought established in his thoughts, he took his stance and rushed forward.

~WHOOOOSH!~

The ground shattered behind him as a blazing trail was left behind him as he charged forward.

Adonis\' entire body became a blur, surrounded by light, as he readied his Divine Blade for a powerful swing.

No barrier could stop him.

Two of his adversaries were nowhere near fast enough to properly react to him, and the last one was incredibly stunned by his display of power.

\'I have a good chance now…!\' His thoughts burst forth as he opened his lips to release some of the power of his Divine Blade.

"[MORGAN]!"

~VWUUUUUM!~

That instant, powerful crackles of multicolored energy began to dance around his blade, shattering the golden shell it previously had. Instead, it became a massive blade of light—one that stretched as high as the heavens.

Adonis held this powerful weapon upward, his goal to simply send it crashing down—destroying the enemies in sight.

[Morgan] was one of the seven forms of the Divine Blade, alongside [Avalon] and five others. These forms allowed the one who wielded them to unlock the weapon\'s full power. However, since they offered a lot of power, one required power to be able to summon these forms, talkless of controlling them.

Also, only a Hero could release these forms of the Divine Blade.

Back when he fought his first Dragon Commander during the Royal Dungeon Incident, he used [Avalon] to protect himself and everyone from certain doom by purifying everything around and defeating the danger that approached.

This time, with [Morgan], he planned on dealing a heavy assault so swift and powerful that the enemies would perish.

\'Even if I can\'t kill the General… there\'s no way that those two Commanders will survive this!\' Gritting his teeth, Adonis began to bring his blade down once he had charged up enough power.

\'This is the end of the line for you!\'

~FWIIIISH!~

The downward swing seemed to cut through space itself as the layers of multicolored light fell upon the adversaries.

Once the attack connected, only one thing erupted.

~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!!~

A massive pillar of light rose to the air, and a some of multicolored explosions danced all around the area in a brilliant burst of energy.

The ground trembled, almost as if it would collapse in on itself and swallow all in sight. Everything trembled, and even the trees in the forest behind the Dragons were blown away.

The only thing left of the area was charred remains.

Smoke ascended once the lights vanished, and other than the sole human—if he could even be called that at this poiint—who was shrouded in a golden barrier and was barely breathing as a bloody pulp, everything else in Adonis\' line of sight was destroyed.

Clark had been saved by Adonis\' [Absolute Defense] at the last minute due to the explosion spreading far beyond the Hero\'s intended range.

Thankfully, he wasn\'t affected by the blast at all.

"Haaa… haa…" Adonis heaved with both relief and exhaustion as he gazed at the destruction before him.

\'Seems like the Divine Blade\'s energy recognizes mine, so it didn\'t bypass the [Absolute Defense] on Clark.\'

Despite thinking that, Adonis found himself trembling slightly as he gazed upon the damage that single strike had wrought.

[Morgan] had completely decimated everything within five hundred meters from the point of impact, and the shockwave from the blast also affected everything beyond that range.

It was a stark representation of sheer destruction.

\'That blow was a lot more powerful than I thought…\' Adonis thought to himself, heaving out more breaths.

Range aside, the intensity was immense as well.

\'But, I suppose it\'s to be expected that it drains too much power. Just one hit, and I already feel this way…\'

The more time passed, the more [Limit Transcension] would permanently shave off his Stats. That was why he decided to avoid a drawn-out battle and swiftly end it with the strongest move he could currently conjure.

\'Normally, my Stats would need to be over ten thousand before I can properly wield that power, but [Limit Transcension] gives me a way to circumvent that requirement.\'

That didn\'t mean he wouldn\'t feel some kind of backlash from using power beyond his means, though. Still, with this move being so much stronger than he initially thought, he had no doubt that even a Dragon General would be a goner from that single hit.

… Unfortunately, he was wrong.

"That was a strong move." He heard the voice of the very Dragon General he thought he had beaten from above.

"W-what??!" Instantly, Adonis raised his head and was met with the sight of three humanoid Dragons floating casually in the air.

Not only did they seem completely unscathed, but they were smiling mockingly at him—especially the General.

"I suppose it\'s time to return the favor."

A sudden red beam appeared from her hands at that moment, and before Adonis could say another word, the burst of energy descended upon him in a mighty blast.

~BOOOOOOOOOM!!!~
