Chapter 345 Reign Vs Licht
Boom!
A huge explosion took place behind Reign as he used the glaive to cut the attack in half, the power of the attack from Licht was great, but the attack was a bit hurried, and as such it wasn't that hard for Reign to deal with it. As Reign cut open the blast, he immediately put the glaive in front of him, as if it was a spear.
"Let's see how well this will work." Reign said as lightning exploded and covered the whole glaive, the red aura of the glaive was suppressed as a huge white and black lance appeared around it, with a flash of lightning Reign disappeared from the spot as a shockwave exploded from his initial position.
[ Lightning Charge ]
[ Lightning Stab ]
In an instant Reign had already appeared in front of Licht as his lance was only centimeters away from the man's face. Licht's eyes were wide open as his traps were rendered useless since Reign moved too fast for them to even go off in time. He immediately used everything he had and created a small but thick shield of mana in front of him, the shield was only 30 centimeters in diameter ( 11.8 inches ) and about 3cm thick ( 1.2 inches ). As the lance collided with the small shield an explosion of lightning took place while the traps behind Reign finally exploded.
The explosion of lightning and the traps immediately covered the two men as nobody was able to see what was even happening. Reign's lance was still trying to pierce through the shield that Licht had created while the latter did his best to pour more mana into it in order to block the attack. As some time passed Licht suddenly had a bloodthirsty smile on his face, he put both of his hands on the shield and activated the devices on his hands while the two balls floating around him started glowing.
"You little bastard, take this!" The shield suddenly cracked before an incredible amount of mana could be felt from it, in mere seconds the whole shield exploded while the vibrations from the devices were working, the two balls on each side of Licht also activated as they intensified the explosion with mana blasts. The whole power of the explosion was focused on Reign and his lance, the purple mana explosion immediately blasted at Reign who was engulfed in it in an instant.
The purple explosion continued all the way toward the wall of the gorge, the ground beneath was split open and even the wall had a hole in it, Reign however was nowhere to be seen.
"That was close." Reign said as he looked at Licht from the side, he had managed to use his speed and dodge the powerful attack at the last moment, of course, it wasn't as if he managed to get out of it completely unscathed. His right arm that held the glaive was burned from the powerful explosion and his right leg was no different, the injury was nothing serious but it would still make it a bit harder to move and attack with the right arm.
"Damn, I guess it might be a bit too tough for me to immediately go against someone like him right now." Reign said with a wry smile as he put the glaive back in the inventory, both Licht and Lisea looked at him as he suddenly cracked his knuckles and neck.
"I haven't had a good brawl in a while, I think these babies will be quite helpful for that." Reign smiled as two battle gloves suddenly appeared in front of him. He slowly put the gloves on while looking at Licht who had his eyes wide open at the sight, how could he not, the gloves were the ones that the king of Older used after all.
With Reign actually taking them out and using them for battle meant that the king truly was dead as there was no fighter in the world that would discard his weapon, especially not a weapon such as the rank S battle gloves that the king had.
"Those are-" Lisea also widened her eyes as she looked at Reign who was nonchalantly putting the gloves on.
"Yup, I took them from the old king after he died, but I gotta say, this guy is definitely more troublesome than him." Reign stared at Licht whose face was slowly starting to morph from fury, to see an enemy use a weapon that once belonged to a comrade was always an incredibly infuriating thing, but in this case, it was even worse.
The coalition had finally managed to mount an attack that they were confident would work. Lios had disappeared and the kingdom was left with only 2 first evolution combatants, even if a miracle happened and one person went through the first evolution, they wouldn't be powerful enough to fight against them right away.
But what had happened?
One of the coalition's first evolution combatants had actually died in battle, on a battlefield that was thought to be the easiest one by far. Not only did the old king die, but his weapon was now being used by a new first evolution combatant of the kingdom who was difficult to deal with even without any rank S items.
That coupled with the fact that Raigon had also gone through the first evolution and was helping out the king of Riplas made it incredibly hard for Licht. He knew that it was over, with the kingdom now having 4 first evolution combatants there was simply no way that the coalition could win, even if the king of Older was still alive they would lose.
"Well, let's finish this up huh?" Reign looked at Lisea and smiled at her warmly as the woman shook her head before sighing and taking her spear, this time both of them were going to attack Licht, and judging by how the battle had been progressing before, there was no way that Licht will be able to win, even fleeing was impossible since Reign was too fast.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion took place as a huge palm suddenly fell down on one of the first evolution combatants that were fighting against the king of Riplas. The sight made the battle that was happening suddenly go quiet as both of the armies looked at a man that was currently flying above the battlefield.
"Seems like I got here on time," Raigon said with a smile as the king of Riplas started laughing heartily.
"My dear nephew, I see that you have finally decided to show yourself!"
"Well, I honestly didn't have any choice, oh and by the way, the king of Older is dead, Reign has also managed to go through the first evolution and has gone to help the commander with her battle, they should be cleaning the enemy army out by now."
The whole battlefield was quiet as the nephew and uncle spoke. Nobody dared even breathe loudly, not even the two first evolution combatants that had been fighting against the king previously.
"The king of Older is dead?" Suddenly whispers amongst the army started happening, the first evolution combatants of course heard them but there was nothing they could do. To see Raigon here was something nobody had expected as they all thought he was a goner, there was nobody that could go against the king of Older at his fortification and death was certain.
But to think he would not only survive but even kill the king and evolve with another person after the battle. That was simply unthinkable, not only was Raigon known as a person with no talent for fighting but even if he was, how could he suddenly go through an evolution and become so strong?
"That attack, wasn't that the same kind of attack that the Judge has?" One of the first evolution combatants suddenly asked the other one. The person that asked was a woman that seemed to be in her thirties, she had long red hair that fell down to her butt and a slim figure. She held a barbed whip in one hand while a small dagger was in the other.
"Yes, that was definitely a skill that that bastard has, how is it possible for Raigon to use such attacks?!" The man standing next to the lady said, he was about 1.75 meters tall and held a sword in his hand, the sword looked old and worn out, but it was actually a rank S weapon that held great power.
"Well, my nephew, shall we clean up here as well?"
"With pleasure uncle." Raigon nodded at the king with a gentle smile before turning his face toward the two enemies, he put both of his hands in front of him before swords, chains, palms, fists, and more starting being materialized around the enemy while the king charged at them with full force. The battle on both fortifications was slowly coming to an end.
