Chapter 556: Devil Flame God (1/2)
The Sacred Lands back in the Luvile Universe were jumping in happiness. If Krune acquires 3 victories, he is pretty much guaranteed to get a slot for the Dalin Universe. How could they not be excited? Krune won two in a row already!
In the Divine Path Sect, other than Lucio, Krune's friends, and even Lakin watched the combats. They had know Krune for the longest, so they weren't so surprised to that extent. That wisp had always been a freak, after all.
”Master doesn't seem like having any issues.”
Shinja nodded.
”Well, it looks like the Dalin Universe did wonders. I definitely wouldn't be able to do anything to him at the moment. He really left me far behind.”
Ao shrugged his shoulders.
”Not only you but all of us.”
He then looked at Lucio before commenting.
”It probably won't take too long before he beats sect master.”
Lucio's mouth twitched.
”Hmph! As if I would him give a chance.”
Back in the Dalin Universe, Laka and Jovlare fought the last battle of the second round. Both were melee demon beasts and Heavenly Divine Soul Owners. Jovlare's cultivation was higher, but Laka had Krune's Purple Flame Dragon Pearl. Considering that their cultivation was just a single stage of difference, Laka was able to suppress Jovlare without many complications. In part, it was thanks to the fact that Hanan gave up the first battle, so Laka was in his Peak Condition. Besides, Laka found Jovlare to be a little weaker than Fabio, who he fought before.
The Third round started right after. Hanan and Iem Turo were the first ones to go up. Hanan then immediately gave up, just like Iem's previous opponents. No one felt confident enough to take the Heavenly Race Member head-on. Waka Ulin and Sara Qanze were the next ones. Sara was a Long-Ranged attacker, while Waka was a melee one.
Waka cut through everything in his path, quickly reaching Sara. He didn't even need to use the Dimensional Severing to deal with her. From the very start, their difference in power was evident. Waka was just too strong. Even Sule, who was a demon beast who exceeded in defense, was cut by him, let alone Sara.
Sara tried to keep her distance while harassing him. Now that Krune wasn't present, she also used the Pair of Purple Flame Chakrams. But even that was not enough to stop Waka.
In the end, Waka achieved victory without having to pay any high price. Sara, on the other hand, felt gloomy. This is already the third round, but she hasn't got a single victory yet. Her Universe protector couldn't help but shook his head too. She still had another 4 fights ahead, though. It wasn't over.
The third battle just so happened to be Krune and Laka!
”Hahaha! I can finally fight you. No holding back, understood?”
Krune laughed as well.
”Well, if you are saying that I can't hold back...”
The very moment the battle started, Laka's Purple Flame Dragon Pearl went out of control! Laka was alarmed by that, but he had already fused with if. It began to cause havoc inside Laka's body, making him far from being able to do anything. In just a few exchanges, Krune completely trashed Laka.
There was no helping it. Not only Laka couldn't use the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl, but it also attacked him from inside instead. At that moment, he became as weak as a Heavenly Fragment Owner instead of a Heavenly Divine Soul one.
”I give up!”
As unwilling as Laka could be, he didn't have another choice. This was not a fight to start with, but a single side massacre. Laka couldn't help but blurt out.
”Shameless! You controlled my Purple Flame Dragon Pearl!”
Krune, on the other hand, laughed even more.
”It was you who said that I shouldn't hold back, so why are you complaining?”
Laka couldn't come with an excuse after hearing that.
”Hmph!”
He turned around and left the arena.
Although Krune was laughing, he didn't really cause Laka any serious injures. By the time he needs to fight again, he should be fully recovered. It was more like a lot of pain instead of any real damage. Krune liked Laka's straightforward personality. That shameless mix of Dragon and Phoenix always put his heart on everything. Because of that, he hoped he could get a Dalin Universe slot. Of course, if the Frunkan Clan's plan worked, his Universe won't be able to enjoy it for long. No one from outside will.
