Chapter 1419: Unexpected Battle
?
An came here with the intention to negotiate, but he could have never guessed he would end up fighting Ifrit to the death.
Yet...
Through his entire life, hasn''t he desired such fights anyways?
Even though back then, An would have never been able to ever fathom going against such overwhelming power. Yeah, back then when he was just a trainee, a young mercenary turned squire, who was also a young hero.
He knew the way of the sword and hunted monsters in the ins with his family of nomads and mercenaries. Yet the moment he was blessed, the moment he was given a new chance. He didn''t hesitate to take it.
Living in the ins, training with his dad and his family wasn''t bad. He loved that life but... An always knew he was destined for more. And now, as he fought a literal spirit god king, he smiled.
He knew he was destined for something better, he was just "that guy" out there.
Someone that just knew he would do more than being a mercenary, to do more than just hunting monsters and bandits.
He trained relentlessly, all his life, his entire damn life.
All for this moment.
He walked through an unparalleled path, all for this!
He married the love of his life, had two children he loved, and his children made precious friends.
As a still living, previous generation hero, it was his responsibility to take care not only of his family, his daughter, a future hero, and also the other little heroes.
But also to assure their growth, and to protect them from the threats out there... Therefore!
"I''ll show you, Ifrit!"
His eyes zed, as his sword suddenly grewrger, andrger, andrger. Ifrit''s six eyes opened wide. Before his zing fists and endless meteor rains could impact An, something surged.
Something beyond a mortal''s limits, it surpassed everything Ifrit knew about An.
It reached a Realm beyond.
Ifrit, despite everything...
Could only smile!
SLAAAASH!
"{Heavenly zing de Arts}: {Heaven-Splitting sh Storm}"
A gigantic sh of heavenly white mes sliced his body in half.
"Ungh?!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
And then, into thousands of pieces. Ifrit fell apart, pain surging through every inch of his body, which had fused with the Realm of Muspel''s Sky and Earth.
Yet to An, it was all just a target he could slice! After having sliced a mountain, the only thing he could slice next was the sky.
"You bastard... you''ve done it! You''ve... surpassed the realm of mortals!"
Ifritughed, suddenly, his entire body regenerated within seconds, even stronger than before, with multiple arms, and zing weapons.
"Let''s fight, An! Show me what a Hero of Fire that has surpassed their limits can do! Show me... that you''re worthy of protecting this world from the gods!"
"I SHALL!"
An and Ifrit shed.
BOOOMMM!!!
The heaven split apart.
The ground fragmented and shattered into countless of pieces.
A part of the entire realm of Muspel simply...
Copsed!
Endless crimson mes against heavenly white mes, to all inhabitants, spirit beasts and spirits, it was as if they were seeing.
Two gods of fire shing against one another, fighting as if their life depended on this match! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!
Titanic meteors the size of mountains reached An''s body, hitting him with enough force to stter his body into pieces.
Yet An''s body continued growingrger, employing the abilities and techniques he gained when Sylphy imbued limitless Mana into his body.
He copied that form, even with his limited reserves of Mana.
It was temporary, but even then...
It brought him tremendous power.
"{Heavenly zing de Arts}: {Heaven me Sword God Form}"
FLUOSH!
His titanic form, made of white mes and covered on zing feathers with six enormous wings and a helmet resembling a fiery phoenix, shocked the entire realm.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
An shed apart all the zing meteors one after another, shaking everything, especially the skies themselves!
"Hahahah!"
Ifritughed as his body was covered on shing wounds, ye he wasn''t split apart like before, reinforcing his body to his limits, Ifrit could withstand An''s shing attacks.
"Try a bit harder, you bastard!"
FLASH!
"Hm?!"
An''s eyes widened as the giant Ifrit appeared behind him, unleashing a barrage of punches against his entire gigantic body, covering his body with holes.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
An tried desperately to use his sword to defend, barely managing before he quickly summoned dozens of mes, shing through Ifrit''s body and then exploding.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Not... ENOUGH!"
Ifrit was bleeding his divine spiritual blood! The people around the realm gathered, every droplet of the blood of Ifrit created endless volcanoes beneath, seas of primordial mes they
feed on.
As Ifrit roared, his hair turned blue, and so did all his mes, this was a form An had never
seen before, of Ifrit''s...
Absolute form!
"{True Divine Fire Spirit King God Form}: {Blue me Emperor}"
An wasn''t the only one with a new transformation!
"SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT, MASTER!"
Ifritughed, charging against An and grabbing him with all his force, withstanding a rain
of thousands of shing attacks and pushing him all the way into the skies.
"Ifrit, what are you- AGH!"
Before An could stop him, Ifrit pushed him all the way into the fiery skies, and then.
Into the sun itself!
SPLAAASH!
The two divine titans fell over an endless sea of boiling sma, their bodies covered on
perhaps the substance that burned the most in the entire universe.
Even with his immunity to fire, An could feel it.
The soaring and horrendous burning pain!
"AAAAGGGH!"
With anger and wrath, her surged from the sea of sma, the entire sun shook monstrously as
Ifrit emerged, without any pain.
"If you still feel pain as you bathe in the seas of the sun... then maybe you''re not ready yet?"
"We''ll see about that, IFRIT!"
An was done with this, he charged against Ifrit, his gigantic sword swinging down, then
upwards, then to the left and right.
All within a second.
"{Heavenly zing de Arts}: {Pinnacle}!"
RUMBLE!
A gigantic cross-shaped sh was unleashed, all-epassing, splitting and shing
through space itself, it literally teleported into Ifrit''s face.
"W-What?!"
Ifrit waspletely surprised.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
BOOOMMM!!!
