318 Turning Poin (2/2)
Balthazar smirked coldly.
”If I had to guess, it would only take one shot to end you. Being the generous person that I am, I am willing to give you the chance to muster all your remaining strength for one final struggle. It's the least I can do to show my respect to you for being able to last this long against me.”
”Then keep your eyes peeled open to appreciate what you are about to see. I will be using my strongest move!”
Don said deeply as he stared at Balthazar intently from the sky.
Despite not believing what Balthazar had said, Don had no choice but to hope that it was true. This is because the result would be the same either way.
Don raised his hand and began drawing in all the fiery energy between heaven and earth, gathering them towards a single point on top of his palm.
The fiery energy pulsated as Don compressed the fiery energy each time the fiery energy ball grew significantly.
Don being Don, the nature of his attack was an explosive one. To create a miniature sun and replicate a supernova explosion. Even if his attack is worlds apart from the real one, it would still be his strongest attack.
As expected, Balthazar did not wait for Don to finish charging his attack before launching a sneak attack.
Although Don was hoping this would not happen, he had anticipated such a scenario. Trusting the words of these inhuman blood cultivators is like believing chickens could bark like dogs.
Just as Don was about to execute his attack early to repel Balthazar's strike, Leon, who had been lying in wait, finally made his move.
Throwing his flaming black spear with explosive might, the spear shot towards Balthazar with incredible speed and aimed for his unguarded area.
The crimson black armor did not grant Balthazar absolute protection. If it did, it would limit his movements. There were openings around his neck, armpits, and knee pits. Of these unguarded points, only the neck was fatal, and it was also the target of Leon's attack.
With Balthazar's keen sense for danger, he knew that he would not be able to finish Don off, not unless he wanted a spear logged into his neck in exchange.
Leon's spear attack ended up failing, but he managed to disrupt Balthazar's attack and attention. That split-second distraction was all Don needed.
Don fired his miniature sun straight at Balthazar.
The attack was not fully charged, but if he did not attack now, when? Opportunities were hard to come by.
Being unable to dodge the attack, Balthazar was forced to receive the miniature sun head-on.
Kaboom!
The miniature sun exploded with great fury and rapid expansion, ballooning to thousands of times its initial size!
The force sent Balthazar slamming into the ground, where he would continue to endure the searing heat of flames within the explosion radius.
At the same time, Don was swept away by the aftershock of the explosion.
His body drew an arc in the sky before landing on the ground with a thud some distance away.
Leon quickly made his way over to Don's location, where the grandmaster laid on the ground, battered and devoid of strength. Despite that, the grandmaster was in an excellent mood.
”Hahaha! Brat, you're late!” Don laughed.
”Better late than never.” Leon smiled before taking out some Tier 3 recovery pills to offer Don. ”Take these. It will help you recover quickly, Grandpa Don.”
”Don't worry about me and quickly go finish that person off. My attack might not have killed him, but he would definitely be severely wounded!” Don urged, but still accepted the pills.
”En.”
Leon nodded.
After the explosions subsided and disappeared entirely, a huge crater was left behind in the Upper District. Roughly at the center of the crater, Balthazar could be seen standing back up with great difficulty.
His crimson black armor was broken in various parts while his exposed skin was charred black by the hellfire. These were just the injuries seen on the surface. There were also internal damages
As expected, Balthazar was seen coughing up a pool of blood due to the internal injuries sustained. After that, he glared at Leon venomously from a distance.
”It's over for you, old man. Just accept your death!” Leon said as the black spear flew back into his grasp from using Divine Will.
