Chapter 106 - White Knight Vs Grand Knight V - Finale
"Got you now.." The man voiced while moving his hand to grab onto my wrist, however, instead of hearing me struggle and scream in agony or beg for forgiveness and mercy, he heard 4 confident words that rung within his eardrums, as if he had been slammed in the ears with them.
"No... I got you." My voice leaked out, responding with an even devilish smile instead, a smile that would make an incarnate of evil feel weak in the knees.
"SOUL PURGE!" I roared before sending out a burst of white flames and silver electricity.
Immediately, a strong surge of Light Magic infused with a bit of Divine mana traveled through every part of the armor the man wore. The next second, the armor was shredded into pieces before exploding behind the man, sending a huge shockwave that left a large trench-like trail behind that indicating where the shockwave trajectory was.
"Wha-" Before the man could speak any longer, I slammed my fiery palm into the center of his chest, lifting him off the ground. The next moment, I used my other hand, pointed at the sky before pointing back at the stammering man.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Four Lightning bolts brightened with dark clouds and smashed into the man, pinning him onto the ground while paralyzing every single limb within his body except his head. He had a look of fear visible on his face while looking up at me. He had a face pleading for mercy, pleading for help. His eyes were visibly shaking while a painful grimace appeared on his creased brow.
"P-ple-"
*CRACK*
Before he knew it, he felt a surge of pain coming from his right arm. Looking towards it, he saw a foot pressing down hard into the hand of the man while being twisted as if it was trying to step on a cigarette to extinguish it.
"AHHHHHHHHH-" Before the man could even finish shouting at the top of his lungs, another foot slammed right into his side, making him get launched at least 50 meters away from the original impact.
"Pathetic.." I voiced with my deep voice, which shattered through the air like thunder. Tightening my clenched fist, a nerve started to become visible, while lightning crackled around it, increasing furiously by the second while emitting an extremely dangerous aura.
Finding no other way to live, the man stood up once again with his only working arm being on guard for any attacks. A burst of blue aura shot out of him while his eyes went bloodshot as he looked at me with a murderous gaze. instead, do his aura being calm like a slow-moving river, or powerful like a ginormous tide, this time, it felt like his aura was representing the powers and uncontrollable nature of a storm in the sea.
Yes, he was emitting blood lust, meaning he had just let go of all hope of living normally and had succumbed to becoming a beast just to beat me. While yes, I can use bloodlust because it is mostly derived from my nature of wanting to consume soul flames, the man in front of me was a simple human whose only goal now was to be out for my blood.
"What is your name?" I asked with a calm yet thunderous voice
"GRRRR" The man replied.
"Damn... And here I thought you couldn't become any more stupid! Way to prove me wrong..." I replied while asking my head in pity.
As if he was wasn't even listening, which I doubt is untrue, the man lunged out at me like an untamed dog who had just found a meal after being starved for days. He had gotten on all fours while moving as quickly as possible.

'Hmm, I see. He is quite strong right now, but nowhere as strong as he was with that sh*tty armor on... I'll just have to use another one of my trump cards. Thank god his more of an idiot now.' I thought. with a smirk.
Pointing my index finger at the dog-like man, I shot out the electric bot after the electric bolt. He quickly dodged the attack by flipping horizontally while opening his mouth and shooting an aura bullet through it.
'Damn' I thought while using the aura I had used to target his heart before, when he still had the armor on, to become an extremely concentrated arrow made out of aura.
*Swisshhh*
The arrow whistled as it ripped through the air while spinning like a drill, waiting to destroy anything on its path. The next moment, the arrow went through his knee and destroyed it almost instantly, ripping anything lower than the knee off.
However, even though I thought that would be enough to stop him, his body did not stop moving with all his three limbs working to the best of their ability to move as fast as possible.
"F*cking animal..." I muttered while looking down at the man in disgust.
"GRAHHHHHH" The man roared like a wild beast.
"I guess I'll have to finish you off now huh..." I muttered under my breath while activating a Duke tier spell that I had seen been used by the Lightning Wizard that I had fought against a few months ago, but since I am diety myself, I don't need to borrow the power of a god to replicate such a spell. A feeling of pride and contempt came over me the moment I thought of Zeus, but I quickly shrugged it off as nothing to worry about. I was planning on completely vaporizing the man in front of me, and now that I didn't even know his name, he would just be a thing of the past by the time I am done with him.
"Lightning of Absolution: God's Wrath" My voice echoed in the air while it crackled in the ears of everyone like thunder. And by everyone, I meant everyone in the vicinity, including those who were in the stadium.
Suddenly, silver-ish golden lightning crackled in the clouds as they slowly created a vortex in the air, making it seem like there was a small hurricane in the sky. In the middle of the vortex made out of dark clouds joined together every lightning crackle into one concentrated bolt, ready to strike its thunderous brilliant wrath on the world below it.
*BOOM*
As everyone who had visibility of the top of the stadium watched two fighting silhouettes, a golden silverfish lightning bolt smashed onto one of the silhouettes, not only destroying its body completely but also leaving a shockwave as well as huge electricity bolts crackling from the body to different parts of the ground.
I watched in a condensing glare at the man under me who was charred black, unlike the ashes I had expected to be left behind after my spell.
"He is a Grand Knight after all." I muttered under my breath while closing my eyes, descending from my levitated position, and getting ready to deactivate lightning of absolution, however, I felt the man's soul flame flicker with vigor for a second.
"NOPE! NOT HAPPENING!" I roared while going towards him and activating analysis.
[Analysis complete]
[Life-saving artifact -???- has been Identified.]
[Energy is detected has been linked to the aura given off by the -Guardian of Seas-]
'F********CKKKK'
Watching his body slowly become less charred and more vigorous, I leaped with all my speed and power, using the lightning control within the domain I had created to move at a 10th of the speed of light. I was still not in the liquidus stage where people can infuse themselves with the element they harbor. An example of this would be lightning magic infusing their bodies with the lightning element, making every cell and atom in their body represent the lightning affinity. This would make that person just as fast as lightning, and the same can be said about those who have the light affinity.
However, even though my power is comparable to a Grand Wizard right now, I am not even close to the liquidus stage due to me still being in the Ethereal stages. While this may seem like a disadvantage, it effectively meant that in the future when I am Sage, I could be comparable to a Grand Sage or even an Imperial Sage for that matter.
Anyway, right now due to my domain, I was able to infuse around 10% of my body with the lightning element, increasing my speed to about a 10th of the speed of Lightning.
Appearing in front of him within the blink of an eye, I created a lightning blade to decapitate the man, however, before I could do that, I felt a punch on my gut while a demonic smile appeared on the man's face.
The punch had made me arch my back, making my head swing to the side of his head. At the same time, I felt the same presence as before coming closer and closer to the both of us, making me even more worried.
'If it is an enemy, I'll finish this guy off and run away, but if it is someone random, I'll have to silence them to make sure they don't spill anything they saw here. Maybe I can make a divine contract with them' I thought while coughing up a little saliva before turning towards the ear of the man and whispering "You are done for".
Taking no more chances, I used 50 units of mana to engulf my body in pale blue flames, immediately burning the man's hand and face, forcing him to jolt away from me as if I was a cockroach he was disgusted by. But that disgust turned into pain, before turning into fear. His eyes shimmered with the blue light, flickering with a life of its own. It shone like a star in the middle of the ocean of the abyss, lightning it up even a little more, and just like that star, I will either go out with a bang or take everything down with me.
'Blue Flames of symphony...' I thought while breathing in the purified air and the warm breeze.
'Dance of Flames'
My eyes immediately went into a daze while my body started to move on its own. The man had a confused expression as he watched me walk closer to him as if we had all day to fight. Yet, one thing he did notice was that while my walk might have seemed simple to the untrained eye, it had not a single shred of wasted movement within it.
A second later, however, he found my in front of him, sticking with a long sword made out of lighting and flames towards his left torso, making him erect a wall of ice and aura to protect himself. The next moment, however, he found a sword flickering with the reminiscent lights of the pale blue oceans of heat and destruction, before appearing under his right armpit, on the other side of the wall, already threatening to cut the entire arm off by entering his skin.
*Swish*
*putuch*
*thud*
An instant after his realization, the arm fell off its socket and hit the ground. Not a single drop of blood had gotten out of the wound as it was cauterized immediately due to the flames and lighting on my sword, but one thing that did happen was a bolt of lighting entering one of his mana channels, frying every single vein and artery on the left side of his body due to both the lighting and the presence of divine mana within the body of a mortal.
The man screamed in agony as he went on the floor, clutching onto the wound I had created, but I was no longer looking at him, but rather, straight towards the man who had been watching us this whole time.
The man was in the air, simply floating there without the help of any spell, and to the normal naked eye, it would seem as if he was so strong that he could defy physics itself. However, with the simple use of my Divine eyes, I could easily tell what was happening. He was standing on his Aura, which seemed to be invisible to anyone without soul vision. However, I was not looking at him for that reason, but rather, due to me still being in the daze created from activating flame dance, my body was just reacting to the next possible threat, looking at it as if it was warning it to stay away.
Before the man could utter a word, however, he watched as the once masked man, now maskless, had his head rolling on the floor without a single speck of blood being oozed out of the wound.
A look of contemplation appeared on the face of the man floating in the air as he watched the rolling head drop to the side. That is when the stare-off started, between me and the Major general.
Yes, this man who had been watching the fight from almost the start was the Major General, yet I didn't care. The moment I felt a surge of cold fluid energy surge into my body, I fell out of my daze and spasmed in pleasure. I had never felt so much pleasure in my life, and right now, I couldn't handle it anymore, making my knees wobble a little while a soft moan came out of my mouth.
A few moments later, I found my knees slamming onto the concrete floors while my face turned into a flushed red.
'Oh god! Bro f*ck love. There is now way there is anything in this world that will feel any better than what I just felt' I thought while huffing and panting
'oh crap' I thought while looking up at the man with an embarrassed expression, trying to hide what just happened by quickly getting up and dusting my remaining clothes off. right now, the only thing that was on my body were pants that had been reduced to ripped shorts, a long coat with no sleeves, and a half-destroyed shirt showing almost everything if it wasn't for the bra my mother had gotten me, and the coat I wore on top.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" The Major General's laughter thundered in my ear, while my face become even redder over time.
The Major general simply landed in front of the corpse, looking at it with a tinge of astonishment within his eyes, while his invisible aura flared intimidatingly.
