Abyss Draconis

Chapter 116: The Last Struggle

Blood splashed out of Ignatius’ lips as he looked at his own chest, finding the blood that dripped down it.

’How!? The blade never even touched me!?’ Ignatius thought to himself with eyes in shock, but he was awakened when he heard the heavy steps slowly moving forward towards him.

BOOOOM

BOOOOM

BOOOOM

"RYUK!!" Ignatius roared out in fiery anger as the flames around him exploded into a pillar into the sky, and his scorching aura grew threefold

Veins popped all over Ignatius’ face as he raised both hands with all his power, and cyclones of flame began rising up from the ground—a total of five—that surrounded Ignatius’ figure.

"Don’t take my kindness for weakness!!!"

In an instant, his arms jerked forward as the cyclones of energy exploded outward, but it was as if Ryuk had lost all reasoning.

A sinister gleam flashed in his molten eyes as he tore forward into the storm of flames.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP

His scythe instantly cleaved forward, slicing completely through the storm and tearing through its entire frame.

Instantly, he was faced with two arcs of fame cyclones rushing toward him from the sides. Ryuk instantly roared and spun on his feet, his scythe swinging around him once more, cleaving the two cyclones to bits.

Jumping into the sky, his figure soared five meters into the air, arriving at the top of the fiery cyclone. His scythe cleaved downward with immense power.

A monumental explosion of flame and energy danced through the entire battle stage, shattering the barrier around the arena, sending shards into countless pieces.

The power was unlike anything the audience had ever seen, and an eerie quiet quickly filled the air.

The top of the arena shimmered, and a new shield encapsulated the battlefield, replacing the shattered one and preventing the explosion from spreading outward.

’How?’

’How is this possible...’

The thought echoed through Ignatius’ mind as cyclones after cyclones were being formed by him, yet he watched as his opponent brutally tore through each cyclone with his scythe, ripping everything into bits.

"Such fervour...’

"Such power...’

"Such insurmountable will...’

The thoughts continued to echo in Ignatius’ mind as he sped forward toward Ryuk, hundreds of flaming swords following tightly behind him.

In an instant, he closed the distance and engaged in close combat.

BOOOOOOOOOM

BOOOOOOOOOM

Instantly, all of the lava in the arena ascended into the air, forming large columns that slammed downward towards both Ryuk and Ignatius, covering their entire figures.

The entire crowd stood on their feet, watching as both geniuses drowned each other in lava.

Ryuk’s scythe had been buried deep in Ignatius’ chest, and now both of them were covered in flames and lava.

Will Ryuk be burned to death since Ignatius was immune to his own flames or will Ignatius succumb to the scythe wound first?

Who will be the winner?

Who will be the loser?

Slowly, the lava of energy died down, exhausting its power as the world witnessed a large amount of smoke covering the entire area.

But as the smoke began clearing, gasps and furrowed brows followed the next scene.

"Is that...?"

"An anaconda!!?"

The shocked words rang out through the arena as everyone finally saw the scene.

Right now, the scene had almost no difference from before, except now, a gigantic white scaled snake rose above Ryuk’s figure, absolutely shielding him from every single drop of lava that fell.

Its body was so massive that it managed to cover Ryuk’s two-meter frame completely.

From the sides of its strange banners like those of a cobra appeared, spreading wide and expertly deflecting the lava away from Ryuk.

But the snake itself was undamaged, as spikes of ice surrounded it, encasing the molten lava.

In the end, all of the flames had been buried, frozen into ice blocks.

Ryuk still stood there; his scythe buried in Ignatius’ chest.

Clamly he tore it out, causing Ignatius to cough out even more blood.

Yet his eyes were locked onto the gigantic anaconda behind Ryuk.

[Host’s energy has been fully depleted!]

[Nano-Umbral Reaper Transformation will now be canceled!]

The system’s notification rang out as Ryuk’s transformation slowly faded away, returning him to his human figure of 1.8 meters.

Following that, Isha’s gigantic body began reducing until it took its tiny python form. Slowly, it wrapped itself around Ryuk’s arm, runic lines appearing all over it.

Quickly, all of Ryuk’s wounds began to heal as he felt mana once more pouring into his body, its source none other than Isha.

Ryuk’s scythe slowly disappeared as he stepped back from Ignatius’ bloody figure.

"No!"

"I’m not done yet!!!" Ignatius roared, but his movements instantly ceased as Ryuk’s lips moved.

"Activate King’s Aura!!!"
