Chapter 138: Punch
"Challengers! Please step up to the Door of Splendor and challenge yourself! Only if you possess a powerful force of will can you find success and safely pass through The rewards for this trial can be found on the other side! Bravely step forth, into the history of the 30,000 Worlds! If you cannot pass the door after 3 hours, you will be expelled from the Ruins&8221;
The Ruin’s Ausra voice echoed out loud, coe was in old door seey
Dorian put all of this to the side, however, as he took record of the situation before hinized that His heart dropped and his brain went into overdrive
It was clear that the Shade was targeting Arial, the Lightsworn Fox Heafter Arial before, back on Blizzaria
Probably justifiably, too, from what Dorian knew Arial herself had told hiuessed that the intentions of those now dead Shades hadn’t been honest either
Still, it was clear that the focus of this Shade was Arial
But Dorian knew Helena She had bravely run out in front of an enor a city full of people she didn’t know
There was no chance she wouldn’t try to protect Arial too
‘Damn it, Helena! Why do you have to be so foolishly nice?’ Dorian thought, ignoring the fact that he did the exact saon
"You can’t have her&8221; Helena proved Dorian’s point as she stepped away froan to for forth
‘Huh? Is she stronger now?’ Dorian eyed the female Vampire
&8211;
Species: True Vay Level: 156,201
&8211;
‘Wow! That is a ton stronger!’ Dorian’s eyes widened Helena’s strength had exploded, juest Lord Class experts Dorian had seen, apart from the freakish Diah
"Step aside, girl I have no quarrel with you, despite your alliance with those two Anohty, King Class Aura burst forth fro down on everyone present
Around them, everyone else in the courtyard backed away All of the other experts in here were at the Lord Class, and e door, as if studying it, before this interruption
"She is not just a girl, you night-crawling mutt She’s a respectable woman!&8221; Trajan’s voice echoed back as he stepped forward as well, a cool, nature-like Aura wrapping around hi waves
‘No, you two are outclassed!’ Dorian thought, frowning fiercely The Shade was extre, the two ,
"Whatever&8221; His Aura bursts forth to thedown on Helena and Trajan The duo weathered the i her lip slightly Her hand reached for her Spatial Ring, as if to pull soo cold
Instinctively, the ts that he was studying seemed to appear more powerfully in his ry, rage-filled energy from the Law of Wrath covered his body in a reddish haze, full of deadly power
Cool but strong energy froy fro hiy from the tere not perfect matches Wrath and Valor were two very dissimilar concepts However, Dorian’s force of will shoved the two together, refusing to let either one fail
Each of the two forces tried to take over Dorian’s e to fill hiy froe The two coer in Dorian’s heart
Dorian felt hie amount of offensive power
However, as he looked at the Shade in front of hiap between the Class Shade, one that appeared to be powerful even as
‘More…’
Dorian activated his Moving Force Ability
Energy flowed into his body with every step he took as he began to walk forward The mystical, intricate Ability allowed hi it into a source of energy to empower his attacks
‘More!’
Dorian activated his Perfect Body Ability
The world around him lost some of its color At the same ti fully adaptable and strong, as if it had been trained for eons to achieve perfection
He felt energy practically henored that all, however, as he focused on the present
He had a single thought in his mind
‘You will not har ti Winds: Flush Gale&8221; Dorian activated one of the Mystic Martial Arts he had left in his memories, one he had used before One of the fastest y flooded into Dorian’s legs, and in hisforhile standing atop a great gust of wind
Dorian moved
Dorian’s perception of tith and Perfect Body Ability that, as his body blurred forward, he felt as if the world around hi in slow motion Time itself seemed to have dilated as he dashed forward towards the Shade that was threatening Helena
Against his expectations, the Shade noticed hied to turn its head around and see hiht began to swar to forh, however, to block Dorian’s attack
"Ru Earth: Boulder Breaker&8221; Dorian punched out in a siht punch, his arm aimed towards the chest of the shade His e and skill associated with this Mystic Martial Art ay of his soul, using his Soul Spell Matrix to power it As the energy flowed through hie, ten e stone boulder
The Shade soed to raise up an arm to deflect Dorian’s attack
It wasn’t that Dorian was too slow Far from it, in his current form, he was ridiculously fast Powered by an incoth of two extre Laws, and the body of an incredibly fierce Wrath Va Mystic Martial Arts created froeniuses in the history of the 30,000 worlds… Dorian was virtually a ht now
However, of all the opponents that Dorian had ever faced, this Shade was simply the fastest In terms of attack speed and reaction speed, he was probably ht against on Blizzaria, and that Shade had moved at a ridiculously fast speed
As the Shade raised its ared teeth
‘I co Fate to obey hiy flooded out of Dorian’s soul, fro Fate, everything Dorian ignored this as he focused purely on his goal
The Shade’s arm moved in a perfect arc, ready to deflect Dorian’s blow
At the last second, however, the energy froy in the Shade’s Aura, in a negative, shocking way This made the Shade flinch, just a tiny amount, at the unexpected intrusion
That flinch raised the arh to offset its defensive angle
BOOOOM
WHOOSH
The Shade’s body was flung away fro doll as his punch landed and blasted past the arround beneath Dorian cracked, shards of stone flinging into the air as he ca off his body like steam as his chest heaved from exertion
The Mystic Martial Arts left behind by Yukeli were all extremely powerful Every move Dorian had previously used still laid firmly in his mind While he didn’t have access to all or even most of Yukeli’s martial techniques, he could still use the ones he’d attacked with before
Perhaps not at the level that Yukeli did… but still easily enough to achievefrom the memories that had been planted in his mind
THUD
The Shade’s body slaround and walls had been ular stone here, the entire courtyard would’ve been obliterated due to the sheer force of the iht flattened down like a pancake at the blow, vibrating with almost a whimper as the attack settled
Shock and fear swept over the crowd of Lord Class spectators as they witnessed this, all of the back away froh bugger’ Dorian’s eyes narrowed as he looked at his fist, feeling it sting, and then over at the downed Shade Abruptly, he turned to the side, looking at Helena, Trajan, and Arial
"A friend sent uys out Go take the door trial, I will handle this&8221; Dorian opted to not reveal himself, not in front of the spectators as well as the Shade he had just attacked Giving away his identity, even in a subtle manner, could coreet Helena like he’d wanted to He quashed the bitterness in his heart, however, as he stayed focused on the present
The trio didn’t need any encourage questions Even if Dorian was lying, the situation at hand was a dangerous one and taking this see miracle to escape was the best option they had
Helena spat out a hurried thanks as she retreated, Arial in tow Trajan siave Dorian a nod The trio sprinted over towards the Door of Splendor, arriving in front of it
Dorian took his eyes off of the an unsettling, eerie Aura start to appear
WHOOSH
WHOOSH
WHOOSH
Behind Dorian, three blasts of wind rang out as Helena, Trajan, and Arial all vanished,whatever trial Yukeli had set there Their bodies were nowhere to be seen, transported away
WHOOSH
Blinding light burst forth from the spot where the Shade had been selabove the downed Shade The angel looked down at the Shade, concern present on her face
"That was… a good punch You took one of my lives&8221; A pained voice echoed out as the particles of light faded slightly, revealing the bedraggled i Helena
His face was covered in streaks of black blood The warrior was clutching at his right ar it As he stood up, the particles of light that had faded surrounded hian to flow into his body
At the saelic apparition vanished
Before Dorian’s very eyes, the Shade began to heal at a visible rate
"Name thyself, attacker You do not have the choice to step aside Do you have any idea how hard it is to create an Angelic Life?&8221; The Shade’s Kingly Aura burst forth once ht, born in the lands of the Shade Coenuinely curious as he set the break in his right ar it into a position it could heal froer within it
‘Well… I can’t tell him who I am now, that’s for sure’ As Dorian realized who he had just attacked, an apparent ure in a Major Power, he instantly made a snap decision
"Who a pure, raw confidence
"Her has the choice to step aside!&8221; Dorian took a threatening step forward
As he took that step, the rest of the onlookers, all Lord Class experts that had fought hard to get a spot to investigate the Ascension Ruins, seemed to take that as a cue
Almost as one, all of the to flee the scene before Dorian and Isaac went on a ra a true battle
Isaac’s eyes narrowed as Dorian spoke
"I am a close ally of Vice-Head Taemin of the Diamond Department!&8221; Dorian thumped on his chest loudly,
"DO YOU DARE QUESTION THE AUTHORITY OF THE BORREL AUTARCHY, FOOLISH SHADE?!&8221;
…
Far away, outside of the Ascension Ruins, Vice-Head Taeht there, Taeht catch a cold on this world of eternal fire and lava&8221; Head Jiro looked over at the Vice-Head The Head of the Dia at a small and dainty table, one that was covered in a lacy tablecloth
Several different sized shot glasses and cups were distributed on the table evenly, all filled with different types of alcohol
Jiro had been licking his lips as he stared over the delicious feast of alcohol, putting up a s cereets to exit the Ascension Ruins
"I’m fine I’ his head
"It al ed
"How odd&8221; Jiro replied, picking up a shot glass,
"You knoe should do? We should drin-&8221;
"We should drink to it, right?&8221; Taelared at his rather irresponsible Depart his own luck How on earth could he have kno irresponsible and undedicated the Head of the Diao when he first decided to practice Diaic
Jiro looked back at Tae Quite odd&8221; Jiro shrugged
"Yes, it was&8221; Taeree, pretty weird&8221; Sun Wukong said, nodding his head
Jiro nodded back, as did Tae for aback and forth while Jiro stared at a particular goblet, a mesmerized look on his face
A split second later, however, both Jiro and Tae their faces as their eyes popped Both of the detected his presence in the slightest
"Oh, hi, by the way&8221; Sun Wukong waved nonchalantly at the two, sitting down peacefully on a rock not far from them
