Ding
The hundred or so sword energies collided fiercely with the tornado, producing an earth-shattering sound! The outer walls of the tornado were as tough as iron, displaying an astonishing defensive power. This was the massive force created by the wind's flow!
However, even so, after only a brief stalemate, the tornado was overwhelmed by the sword energies, which crashed through and hit Voban directly.
Clang
Seeing the remaining sword energies, Voban's face twisted into a grimace. For a moment, he didn’t choose to dodge, instead opting to guard his vital points and brace for impact!
In an instant, the sound of metal clashing echoed, and Voban was buried by the sword energies!
"Brat, do you think you can defeat me like this?!"
A moment later, a massive gust of wind erupted again, blowing the remaining sword energies away. Voban, whose fur and skin were singed, appeared before Blake, letting out a furious roar.
"Has your attack power been weakened too much?"
Blake wasn’t surprised to see Voban unharmed. After all, although the sword energies were powerful, there was no remaining force to break through the large tornado.
"Don't think that just because you can fly, you can win against me!"
Seeing Blake's calm expression and lack of surprise at the result, Voban's face darkened, and he yelled in anger.
The next moment, Voban unleashed his curse power once more.
Whoosh
Instantly, the wind around him turned violent.
Above the sky, dark clouds began to spread across the horizon, blocking all light, making the world fall into darkness.
"Boom"
With the sound of thunder, a violent storm, torrential rain, and lightning simultaneously erupted from the cloud layer.
This was the Furious Gale. Not only could it summon storms, but it could also call forth lightning and tornadoes, controlling the powers of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. Voban had once used this power to destroy a port spanning over several miles, causing massive damage.
Faced with this power, Blake became more cautious, tightly gripping the Excalibur and diving from the sky, rapidly closing the distance between him and Voban.
At this moment, Voban, with a twisted face, suddenly activated the power of his abilities.
Crack
In an instant, the storm appeared, and blue lightning streaked toward Blake.
Boom
Faced with the lightning strike, Blake swiftly dodged, causing the lightning to strike the ground instead, creating an incredibly deep crater with scorched marks spreading across the ground, showcasing its terrifying power.
However, this had no effect on Blake. His reflexes and speed were up to par. No matter how strong the attack, if it couldn’t hit him, it was useless. While he could easily endure the blows, he didn’t have the time or interest to do so.
"What?!"
Seeing that Blake had easily dodged the lightning strike, Voban's expression changed. He quickly controlled multiple lightning bolts to strike Blake.
But without exception, each was dodged by Blake. As for the terrifying electrical currents surrounding them, they were neutralized by Blake's own lightning-based energy, rendering them completely ineffective.
Just as Voban decided to switch to using wind, a slightly weaker attack, Blake, spiraling with the green wind, suddenly charged at Voban and slashed at his abdomen with the Excalibur, which was radiating silver light!
Whoosh
Silver fur was severed, and bright red blood spilled from Voban's abdomen. This strike undoubtedly dealt Voban a serious blow.
"Dammit"
In pain, Voban’s wild nature was triggered. His green pupils flashed with a savage gleam, and he clenched his fists, unleashing a brutal shockwave accompanied by a burst of white smoke that struck toward Blake.
Clang!
Blake wasn’t afraid of Voban’s punches. With a calm expression, he gripped his Excalibur and continued to engage in close combat with Voban. The Excalibur, surrounded by silver radiance, cut through the air in brilliant arcs. Sparks flew, white smoke billowed, and the terrifying winds and sword energy spread out, causing devastating damage to the surroundings.
Again and again, the two clashed. Although it seemed like a long time had passed, they were both top-tier fighters, and in reality, only a dozen or so seconds had passed.
Boom!
In the final collision, both figures flew backward at the same time... Voban crashed into the wall of a massive pit, leaving behind a human-shaped hole, while Blake, using his Wind Spirit Dash to turn his body, remained suspended in the air, perfectly unharmed except for a bit of dust on his body. He was as calm as ever.
As for Voban, he emerged from the rubble with a grimace. Compared to Blake’s unscathed appearance, Voban’s body was covered in dust, some of it stuck to him because it was soaked with sweat. His fists and body had various depths of wounds.
It was clear that Voban had suffered a significant loss during the close-range combat just now.
“...?!”
Just as Voban was about to shout something, two unusual auras suddenly erupted from a distance, causing Voban’s expression to change drastically. He was certainly familiar with this kind of aura, it was the aura of the Heretic God. The other aura was a curse energy fluctuation from a fellow God Slayer, one on the same level as him!
“Damn!”
As the oldest Demon king, Voban was certainly no fool, and he immediately realized what was happening. His fury erupted. An enigmatic human dared to steal his summoned Heretic God and was able to fight him this much? That was already a great humiliation. And now, another of his kind was appearing to take advantage of the situation while he was engaged in battle! This was simply outrageous!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and in an instant, he rushed toward the palace.
“Creak!”
However, before he could get very far, several sword energies slammed into his back. Although they didn’t break through his defenses, the force behind them was enough to unbalance Voban, causing him to stumble and fall.
The next moment, just as Voban was getting back up, Blake suddenly appeared slightly above Voban. The Excalibur in his hand was now enhanced with five times the sword spirit.
Whoosh!
Blake, with cold eyes, didn’t hesitate. He thrust the Excalibur directly into Voban’s heart. In an instant, blood sprayed, and the Excalibur pierced straight through Voban’s body!
“!”
Voban stared at the Excalibur that had pierced through his chest, his wolf-like form unable to maintain itself. He reverted to his human shape and turned his head in disbelief to look at Blake.
If it weren’t for his quick reaction just now, avoiding the fatal blow and not letting Blake pierce his heart, he would’ve died on the spot! But even so, he had suffered a serious injury!
