Chapter 689: The Depravita of Blood (III)
Once again, explosions echoed across Death Valley in the Zafiro Sector. Yet, this time, it was the Godslayer Human side that was slowly losing ground to the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army.
Morale was crucial in a war, not to mention that the Titans and True Titans fighting in the sky could not help but divert part of their focus to the monster. That creature could teleport without anyone detecting its presence and was capable of ripping the head off the Blood Duke in a second. Who's to say the monster would not suddenly appear behind them and rip them to pieces?
All the great generals understood just how dangerous it would be not to put their full attention on the enemy in front of them, but there was nothing they could do as logic dictated something, but the monster had terrified them. Even the mightiest warrior who had faced rivers of blood would fear the unknown.
As for the main battle happening in the highest sky, it was one mightier than even those that occurred when the Void King was present. The cracks in space could not be fixed before a new one would appear, and the air had already been set ablaze due to the simply outrageous amount of energy that flooded the sky.
Bruises, scorched skin, and cracked bones had appeared on the Collapsing Lightning Duke after less than ten minutes of battle against the monster, yet his enemy did not seem to have any visible wounds, as if his attacks could do nothing to him.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke's focus had reached an all-time high as he faced what he could only describe as the most terrifying enemy of his life, and he could feel himself on the border between life and death, as a single slip could cause his demise.
He connected an uppercut to the monster's head, and the power in that blow was so high that it cracked the fabric of space. Yet, the Blood King managed to resist, and a vicious smile appeared on his face as he stared at the Collapsing Lightning Duke and sent one of his punches.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke moved his head at the last second, dodging the punch charged with foul Blood Energy before unleashing a barrage of blows to the monster's chest. Each punch carried the power of an H-bomb, and it was concentrated in an extremely small area, demonstrating the granular control the Collapsing Lightning Duke had over his physical might and energy.
However, even as the monster received all those blows to the chest, the only thing he showed on his face was a smile before raising both arms.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke's eyes widened as he felt the monster's arms falling on him, like divine axes capable of severing the world, and he immediately formed an X with his arms to defend himself.
