Chapter 431: The Fight Is Over (1/2)

Gravis had to find a solution to this beam, fast! His shield could only block regular attacks of level five Lords, which would be a little bit stronger than the full-power attack of a level four Lord. Yet, this beam was about as powerful as the trump card of a level five Lord! As soon as he felt the power of the beam, Gravis knew that his shield wouldn't be able to survive that.

Gravis also couldn't evade to the side since the beam was barreling towards him with insane speeds. It was also rather wide, which surprised him even more. The beam's power was spread over such a wide area, yet, it still was so powerful. Usually, no level four Lord should be able to unleash such a powerful attack.

Nevertheless, Gravis had to find a way out.

CRRRR! BANG!

Gravis transformed into lightning and shot backward while leaving his shield there. It would buy him, at least, some time. After the blink of an eye, the beam destroyed the shield and closed in on Gravis.

CRRRRRRRRRRR!

When Gravis saw that the shield was about to collapse, he transformed back into his body and immediately summoned all the ore inside his Spirit Space to block the beam. He needed to exhaust the beam's power as much as possible.

The beam rapidly ate through the ore like it didn't even exist. Yet, the ore weakened the beam even further. If Gravis had the time, he would have forged the ore into shields. Sadly, he didn't have such a luxury.

WHOOOOOM!

The beam hit Gravis' feet since Gravis had angled his body so that his feet pointed towards the beam. The beam ate quickly through the boots, but…

BOOOOM!

A Lightning Blast came out of his boots, which pushed the middle of the beam back. Gravis couldn't evade to the side since most of the beam's power was shooting past him.

CRK!

Yet, the Lightning Blast wasn't enough to stop the beam entirely, and it quickly attacked his boots again. After another blink of an eye, his boots broke apart, and the beam started destroying his legs. It quickly traveled up towards Gravis' torso, but Gravis quickly curled his tail so that it was between the beam and his torso.

Then, the beam started destroying the tail, but before the tail was completely incinerated, the beam weakened and eventually stopped. Gravis took a deep breath of relief. He managed to survive. That had been close.

Yet, he was still shocked about the power of the beam. It had destroyed his shield, all his ore, his boots, his legs, and half his tail. This power was incredible. On top of that, Gravis had wasted around 50% of his regenerated power in the Lightning Blast.

Sadly, Gravis couldn't transform into lightning right now to heal his body. If he did, all his wasted power would throw him back into the Initial Unity Realm. Then, he wouldn't even be able to put up a fight anymore.

All of these thoughts shot through Gravis' head in less than a second, and he quickly narrowed his eyes and looked back at the Golden Dragon. Yet, he was shocked by what he saw.

The Golden Dragon looked incredibly weak. It took deep and rapid breaths, and the golden luster of its scales had dimmed severely. On top of that, Gravis saw something that made him release another sigh of relief.

The Golden Dragon had fallen to the Middle Unity Realm, also called a level three Lord.

'No wonder this attack was so powerful. The Golden Dragon literally unleashed all its power and even Realm to kill me,' Gravis thought. 'Well, I would have done the same thing, only earlier.'

If Gravis were the Golden Dragon, he would have used that beam after seeing that his attacks weren't as effective anymore with the new addition of the shield. At that point, his enemy still hadn't recovered at all. The Golden Dragon had committed a mistake by waiting this long.

Yet, this was the Golden Dragon's weakness. It had disregarded Gravis from the beginning, and that disregard only became stronger as Gravis helplessly evaded the onslaught of spears. Even when Gravis hit it with his Lightning Crescent, the Golden Dragon still viewed that as a last-ditch effort of an ant.

So, when this ant suddenly became able to block its physical attack, the Golden Dragon became increasingly angry, which clouded its judgment. It refused to believe that this ant could hold out in front of it! That's why it hadn't even thought about using this attack until the moment when it saw Gravis slowly gaining the upper hand.

The Golden Dragon was incredibly shocked when it saw that Gravis had survived. Yes, he lost his equipment and legs, but something like that wasn't life-threatening to Lords. Even a normal Lord would be able to regrow their legs in a day or so.

The Golden Dragon couldn't believe that this ant had managed to survive its most powerful attack. How was this possible!? How did such an easy fight suddenly become so hard!?

”RAAAAAAHHH!” the Golden Dragon screamed in rage as it shot at Gravis. Yet, it had fallen by an entire level, which reduced its speed by a huge margin. On top of that…
