Chapter 787: Souta vs. Dramus
“Athen’s Champion…?!”
Princess Yaniesvyl was shocked when she heard Lord Dramus’s words. She didn’t expect that the humanoid monster she met in the ancient ruins had a huge background. She didn’t know about the other things that Lord Dramus said but she knew the Athen’s Champion.
It was a widely known legion in the whole land. It was one of the most powerful God’s Legions in the entire Olympus.
“Come,” Souta said coldly.
“You’re underestimating me!” Lord Dramus laughed. He bent his knees and pounced toward Souta like a lion.
Souta was one of the people on their target list. Their target list was people that could potentially disrupt their plan. People who were dangerous enough and they should proceed with utmost caution when dealing with these people.
Lord Dramus jumped to the side and threw a punch at Souta but his fist hit nothing. He turned his head and found that Souta disappeared.
Swoosh!
‘No, he’s moving too fast.’ Lord Dramus looked around. He clenched both of his fists tightly as he gathered his mana.
“You’re gonna tell me your plan!” Souta appeared behind Lord Dramus. He pulled back his fist and threw it in the next second.
Bang!
Lord Dramus couldn’t react at all. Pain assaulted his back as he received Souta’s punch. His body crashed on the floor and broke through the lower floors of the palace.
Argh!
He fixed his posture in mid-air as he blow his energy away. He managed to stabilize himself as he safely landed on the ground. He looked up and saw Souta on the upper floor looking down at him.
Lord Dramus was thinking if he should continue this plan or not. Souta’s appearance in this place was out of everyone’s expectations. Also, he didn’t have any preparation at this moment. He didn’t even know if he could defeat Souta.
Swoosh!
Lord Dramus’s eyes shrank as Souta vanished in front of his vision. He turned around and saw Souta behind him.
Souta brandished the sword on his waist and swiftly slashed. Lord Dramus reacted this time as he raised both of his hands.
Bang!
The red energy blade tore through Lord Dramus’s defenses. His body crashed on the walls and flew out of the palace like a missile before crashing on the ground.
Argh!
Lord Dramus gritted his teeth. Souta was stronger than the information they have gathered.
His mana erupted and caused the ground to tremble. He jumped into the sky as he gazed at Souta who was staring at him. His body was emitting a black mist and the sclera of his eyes turned pitch black.
[Dauntless High Spirit]!
[Mad Driving Earth]!
[Ultra Fighting Will]!
[Tainted Vision]!
Lord Dramus activated his powerful skills to boost his combat prowess. He knew that he couldn’t defeat Souta by normal means so he had to use everything that he has got.
“Not enough!”
[Hundred Speed Acceleration]!!
[Swift Cloud Stepping Feet]!!
[Super Reinforcement Armor]!!
He continued to activate his skills. His aura grew stronger and stronger, reaching the higher stage. The energy around him roared strongly as it blew everything around him.
“Your threat level has increased. It seems that we need to eliminate you as soon as possible. I’m afraid that the other members will not find you in your city. Well, it doesn’t matter, they’ll still execute the plan even if you’re not there or not.”
Lord Dramus stepped in the air as he charged toward Souta. His body quickly arrived in front of his target in the blink of an eye. He was too fast.
Souta raised his sword to his left side. Lord Dramus’s punch was strong but he still managed to barely block it. The force behind the punch threw Souta against the walls.
Souta used his feet to stop the momentum but the floor collapsed. At the same time, Lord Dramus threw another powerful punch.
Bang!!
‘So they already have the plan to attack me. Even if I stayed at the base, they will come at me.’ Souta said inwardly as his body tore through the walls.
He looked down at his body and saw that he was full of bruises. In the next second, all the bruises were gone. The regenerative ability of the parasite was incredibly powerful.
Lord Dramus appeared in front of him and launched a series of powerful attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Settle down,” Souta said and a powerful wave of energy erupted from his body. Heavy gravity bore down as black mist started to seep out of his pores. A dark energy cloak wrapped around his body as he strongly swung the vajra sword in his hand.
Boom!!
Lord Dramus was blown away. He stared at Souta’s figure grimly.
Souta just activated his Second Mode. Most of his skills that could buff his body were used.
“Let’s start round two.”
Souta said before he dashed forward.
Lord Dramus jumped away but he felt a strong gravitational force slowing his movements. The gravitational force wasn’t strong enough to completely stop him but it was enough to slow down his movements. It wasn’t just the gravity force, the black mist was also affecting his body stats.
“Shit!”
Lord Dramus gritted his teeth as he saw Souta getting close to him.
BOOM!!
Souta and Lord Dramus clashed thousands of times in the next few seconds. Their figures tore through the palace, ravaging anything that got in their way. They fought fiercely without caring about their surroundings.
Princess Yaniesvyl and her father couldn’t do anything about it. They could only watch the battle as they didn’t have the strength to interfere.
“Just what is happening…” She muttered to herself. It seems that there’s a hidden force in Hall Plains that caught the attention of a large organization like Athen’s Champion.
“Something is happening in the Hall Plains and we have no idea about it… This isn’t a simple war for resources if big organizations are involved.” The King said.
“Father, did you see the tattoo on the enemy’s tongue?” Princess Yaniesvyl suddenly asked. She was talking about the old man called Lord Dramus.
“What do you mean?” The King glanced at her.
“While the enemy is talking to us before… I noticed a tattoo on his tongue. I think I saw that tattoo somewhere but I couldn’t remember it.” Princess Yaniesvyl said.
“Tattoo? I haven’t noticed that he had a tattoo on his tongue.” The King shook his head. He had no idea what his daughter was talking about.
Princess Yaniesvyl grew silent. She had a bad feeling about this. That tattoo feels familiar to her but she couldn’t remember where she had seen it before.
Bang! Bang!
Souta moved his body swiftly as he countered all of Lord Dramus’s attacks. In terms of combat skills alone, Souta could see that his opponent had vast experience. Lord Dramus could still keep up with Souta even though his stats were lower.
‘He’s good.’
Souta jumped in the air as he launched several energy blades at his opponent. Lord Dramus roared as he punched the energy blades while approaching Souta.
“You can’t defeat me if that’s all you’ve got,” Souta said as he jumped away and swung his right hand. Strings of web flowed through the air, rushing in Lord Dramus’s direction.
Lord Dramus moved his body from side to side, avoiding the webs that were coming at him. He knew that he couldn’t defeat Souta in this way but he had no choice. He was trying to find a way to escape right now. Fighting one of the people on the target list would be quite difficult without any preparation.
“Damn!!”
He cursed as he found his left leg wrapped in thick layers of webs. He tried to remove the webs but Souta quickly arrive in front of him.
[Crimson Moon]!
Lord Dramus crashed on the ground like a meteor. The ground shook heavily as thick smoke and dust shot up in the air.
Hmm? Souta narrowed his eyes. He felt that the webs that he attached to Lord Dramus got shredded. Then, a huge amount of energy erupted like a volcano.
Boom!!
Souta remained unfazed at this sight. He was wondering how he could capture this guy. Even though he was stronger, his opponent wasn’t someone he could capture easily.
‘I’ll let him exhaust his energy first. Once he got weakened, I’ll capture him.’
Souta said in his mind. He lifted his other hand and blood flowed behind him. In the next second, the blood turned into dozens of red spears.
“Go.”
He pointed his two fingers in Lord Dramus’s direction. The red spears burst forth in the air at the same time. All of them were fired simultaneously with insane speed.
But before the red spears could even approach Lord Dramus, they were shattered in the mid-air. Flames and lightning spread out in every direction.
“I’m done with you… [Dual Element Drive: Lightning and Flame Force]!”
Lord Dramus glared at Souta with his aura rising through the sky.
“Nice, I thought that you are going to escape but it seems that I’m wrong…” A smile formed on Souta’s face. He raised the vajra sword above his head and pointed the tip towards the sun.
“Let me respond with your show of power. [Element Drive: Dark Integration]…”
