Chapter 810 - 810: A Monster Against a Legend
"Good… so you can still show me more than this."And after that, Daniel's presence was no longer just pressure, but like the emergence of a living disaster.
The air had grown heavier, but not because of the weight of energy… rather, as if the world itself could no longer tolerate his presence.
Valdrak laughed. Like a warrior who had spent his entire life searching for a peak and had finally found it.
The fact that he is insane about war and fighting is hidden from no one. Even the reason he fought that ancient dragon centuries ago had only one purpose.
He wanted to fight the strongest! Only by defeating the strongest could he prove that he is the strongest.
At first, he didn't want to fight this monster, because he had to consider the lives of those two who were now dead, and he knew that in battle, those two would certainly be killed.
But now that everyone was dead and only he and this monster remained alive, why not enjoy this battle to the fullest?
His silver eyes locked directly into Daniel's gaze.
"You want to see more? I'll show you more! Just hope you don't run away out of fear!"
The next moment, dark gray runes lit up on his body.
"Silent Crown."
And the sky became dark and silent again. Suddenly, all sounds disappeared. Not just the explosions. But even the sound of the wind, the vibration of mana, the pulse of flames, and the collision of ashes.
The entire field entered a silence heavier than death.
The space turned gray, and at that moment, Valdrak moved.
Thousands of slashes, thousands of silent blades appeared from different directions. They had no energy, no light. Just silent lines that erased anything they touched from existence.
But Daniel just quietly took a step.
And at that moment, the Law of Destruction flowed around him. Not as an explosion, but like decay. The movement of the slashes slowly slowed down.
Their edges cracked, and then, before reaching Daniel… they collapsed.
As if the very "concept of motion" within those attacks was decaying.
Valdrak's eyes narrowed. He understood that Daniel was no longer just stopping the attacks, but analyzing and destroying the foundation behind them.
But Valdrak did not retreat. On the contrary, his pressure increased. He knew that at this stage, there was no room for retreat, and he had no interest in doing so.
[Dragon Transformation]
His body changed. Black scales grew on his arms, his muscles swelled, and then—
"Ashen Fang Extinction."
He threw a punch, but that punch was not just raw power. Wherever it passed, space collapsed, mana vanished, and the ground turned to ash.
Like the fist of a being carrying collapse itself. This time, Daniel raised his sword, and for the first time, a real clash occurred.
Fist and blade collided, and the world trembled. Not just the desolate ruin, but the entire continent.
Distant seas became stormy, mountains thousands of kilometers away cracked, clouds split apart, and the shockwave of the clash tore through the entire horizon like the end of the world.
Daniel stepped back two steps.
Just two steps.
But those two steps were enough for a wide smile to appear on Valdrak's face, because he had managed to push back this arrogant monster!
Daniel smiled. A more genuine smile than before, because finally something had been found worth striking.
Valdrak roared, and the pressure of his dragon blood exploded. Behind him, thousands of massive shadows appeared.
Ancient dragons.
Of course, not real beings, but memories etched into the blood of the dragon race.
After all, to summon the souls of thousands of real ancient dragons, he would have had to kill thousands of ancient dragons, and he doubted that many ancient dragons existed.
All those shadows roared simultaneously, and the entire sky trembled.
"Grave of the Ancient Dragons."
All that power gathered inside Valdrak's body. His body cracked, blood flowed from his scales.
But his pressure increased wildly. Even the white-gold fruit behind Daniel pulsed slower for a moment.
His power grew stronger by the moment, but simultaneously, the cracks on his body also increased.
"If you can, stop this!" And then, Valdrak attacked.
A sea of ash covered the entire sky. The roar of the ancient dragons shattered the horizon.
But Daniel quietly closed his eyes, and the Law of Death was released. Suddenly, all the dragon shadows turned black.
Their roars went silent, and they died one by one.
Not their bodies, but the concept of their existence. The death of the most ancient memories of dragon blood.
The entire attack collapsed in silence.
Valdrak coughed up blood. The pressure that had been rising exponentially suddenly dispersed and disappeared.
Because of the pressure his body was enduring, blood oozed from every pore, and he coughed up a lot of blood.
His gaze changed, and he looked at this monster with a bit more fear, because he understood that Daniel even controls the death of ancient concepts.
But how is such a thing possible? How can you kill something that is already dead?
"Are you scared?" Daniel's mocking voice echoed in his ears.
"A little, but the more fear I feel, the more my blood boils, and the more excitement I find in killing you." Valdrak also said.
The pressure emanating from him suddenly peaked again.
"Maybe you managed to stop that, but I still have many things to show."
And then the world turned gray. Colors faded, and time slowed down.
Even the heartbeat of people calmed down.
"World End Silence."
This time, the silence didn't just silence the environment, but brought the world itself to the brink of silence.
Daniel's lightning calmed down, the tree's massive roots slowed, and even the eternity around his body cracked.
And Valdrak finally succeeded.
First slash.
Dark-golden blood flowed on Daniel's shoulder.
Second slash.
A line opened on his chest.
Third slash.
His cheek split open.
With each drop of blood that fell to the ground, the fruit behind him pulsed more intensely.
The Holy Emperor and others watching these scenes from a distance felt hope for the first time. Perhaps this monster really could be killed.
Perhaps Valdrak would actually succeed!
But before him, Daniel just laughed.
"This is much better."
And that sentence was more terrifying than any threat, because Valdrak understood that the being before him was now truly enjoying this battle.
His breathing became heavy, his body was collapsing, but he still stood. All these attacks he was making were pushing his body to the brink of collapse.
And then he released his final power. The dragon phantom behind him fully appeared again.
Its pressure bent the sky. His own body began to break. Because this power was something even he himself could not withstand.
Because to summon this phantom, he was forced to sacrifice his greatest treasure, the heart of the ancient dragon!
"Ashen Emperor's Last Roar."
The entire world trembled. All the mana of the field gathered into his sword. Not thousands of attacks, not a rain of slashes, but just one strike.
One roar.
A roar that was like the end of ages. The Holy Emperor realized with worry that if the wave of this attack reached the continent, civilizations would be destroyed.
He had no choice but to use his power and the help of the empire's greatest treasure, the Divine Heart, to prevent this attack from leaving this region and reaching the rest of the continent.
And then Valdrak fell. Like a meteor carrying the end of the world.
But this time, Daniel also changed. His eyes turned completely golden, black runes flowed on his arm.
The inner world within his body pulsed, and four laws were released simultaneously.
Eternity.
Death.
Destruction.
Lightning.
All of them gathered into his black sword, and then he struck just once.
The clash of the two attacks broke the world. Truly broke it. Space cracked.
The sky practically collapsed, and behind the cracks, a void could be seen.
Absolute darkness. Something outside the world.
Even the most distant countries of the continent trembled under the pressure of that clash.
Light swallowed the entire field, and when it faded, Valdrak was still standing.
His sword was broken, his body covered in luminous cracks, and the dragon phantom behind him was slowly fading.
"It seems in the end, it still wasn't enough. But at least I got to see the peak." He sighed, and then his body quietly split in half.
A peaceful death for a being who fought like a king until the last moment.
But before collapsing, he smiled.
"Truly… a monster…" He said quietly.
And then his body turned to ash.
Silence swallowed the field.
Daniel was still standing. Wounded, but still overwhelmingly superior. And at that moment, the fruit behind him pulsed more intensely, and white cracks on its shell multiplied.
Using his divine sense, he looked at the state of this continent and its surroundings after his battle with that Eternal Warrior.
The Holy Emperor had managed to save the continent, but the collapsed sky was still a problem. Fortunately, this is not a real world, but just a part of the tower, so the sky would probably be repaired sooner or later.
Of course, even in a real world, if the sky collapses, the world will use all its energy to repair that problem.
"Now I understand why national awakened prefer to fight in a void." He sighed. A battle between two national awakened could practically destroy a world.
So what would a battle between two Demi-Gods be like?
