Guild Wars

Chapter 842: Core Members Tournament 18

If you asked the man himself, he would not be able to give you a straight answer. All he knew was that he had to take a gamble and launch something well beyond his power limit in order to take down Elle, because her power limit was similar to his.      

An immense amount of energy coalesced in Hades palm, merging to form the elements he could easily use. He had absorbed hundreds of people from the Elemental Group but majority of them possessed the basic four elements.      

This strengthened his control over these elements and his output with them, which was why Hades could use them respectably, but the advanced and beyond elements he got were one off, so he could barely manifest them.      

Now, he was pushing all the energy he gathered into these four elements, forming a mass above his head which grew with each second.      

That's right, Hades was basically performing a Planetary Devastation!      

This was not too outlandish, Draco often used a variation of this move to deal with enemies, having recently done one to Shangtian. Or rather, Shangtian tried to do it to him but it backfired when Draco returned the attack right back to the maker.      

So it was not surprising to see another elemental controller using this when they had access to the kind of energy and power that the bloodline gave, but Hades' was a bit more advanced.      

This was because his mass contained elements of all the four elements. It was a giant rocky mass that had magma flowing through its internals like veins, as well as water that hardened into the form of spikes on the exterior, and a cloud if mini tornadoes that circles around it like protectors.      

When the attack reached its peak level of power, Hades roared and threw it out. It hurtled through the air and rushed towards Elle who was down below, causing the entire stage to be enveloped in shadow.      

Elle did not hold back either, channeling all the chaos Energy she could muster into her body and surroundings, sending it clashing with the giant mass that approached her every second.      

Met with the powerful Chaos energy, the mass began to warp and shift like it was in a glitchy video or poorly made game, some parts turning into different items and then returning to its previous form over and over again.      

The amount of Chaos energy it consumed per minute to hold this mass off and try to convert it shocked Elle deeply, and she could feel her bloodline energy draining as if a leech was sucking on it.      

Hades himself above her did not feel so good as he landed weakly, having empties his body completely to form that attack. Even if it took Elle a while to deal with it, his bloodline energy would face a small delay before it started recovering rapidly due to how it was used.      

This would give Elle enough time to have an advantage of she had a lick of bloodline energy left. However, Hades did not have to worry as Elle was feeling herself about to be bottomed out and she had only converted less than half of the mass into harmless elements.      

Knowing that things were critical, Elle risked it all,. She exploded with all her remaining bloodline energy as well as dug out some of her reserve power and exploded it all at once, encompassing the entire mass.      

The mass shook and trembled deeply, then paused for split second before it turned into a wealth of harmless bubbles that dispersed from the spot and spread all over that place.      

Elle had successfully defended from the attack, but she was now like Hades, bereft of the slightest bloodline energy and delayed from regenerating for a few seconds.      

However, due to the great amount of bubbles around, the entire arena was coated, and it was impossible to see. This way, Hades would not know where she was and how she was, buying her enough time to recover.      

Well, that was what she expected to happen, but she could never have predicted that Hades would suddenly appeared above her, smashing a leg down with great force. Elle could only grit her teeth and raise her glaive to resist.      

However when Hades' leg connected with the shaft of the glaive, Elle screamed as she felt her palms shatters and blood flow from her hands. She weakly dropped her glaive as she glanced as her destroyed hands in shock, then bitterness.      

She had forgotten about Hades superhuman physical strength because of his bloodline devouring. It was one thing to block his strikes using chaos energy as the main force and another to do so with her raw body strength.      

Having her hands destroyed severely handicapped her, and soon, under Hades' continued barrage, she was soon defeated but not killed. It was hard to kill a God Serpent Inheritor unless one had Draco or Eva tier power.      

1st Battle: Hades wins!      

2nd Battle: begin!      

Essence Stalker rubbed the back of his head as he faced off against Boyd. Boyd himself wore a calm expression as he had resigned himself to his fate, but was also secretly proud for making it this far.          

After all, how many legendary classes and non bloodline holders made it to the second round?      

Only him, Cobra and RamButt!      

As such, facing off against the strongest under the guild leader was not a loss to Boyd, but a privilege.      

The moment the battle began, Boyd entered Berserk and used his Ultra Colossus skill. He spun like atop as he stretched out his poleaxes  becoming like a blender's blades as he neared Essence who was calmly watching on.      

Essence simply manifested a handful of Aurora Energy and dropped it to the floor, which coalesced to form a greenish version of Boyd himself. This aurora made copy roared and entered Berserk, then also activated the Ultra Colossus skill.      

The two collided in the middle and began severely damaging each other, their HPs dropping simultaneously until they hit the red. Unfortunately, the aurora clone died before Boyd did, be cause at the end of the day, it was a mere clone.      

However, Essence simply manifested a crossbow like Shani's from aurora energy and fired a bolt right into Boyd's forehead, canceling his spinning as the large man glanced at the bolt sticking out of his forehead.      

Then with a wry smile, the bolt exploded and sent his brain matter flying, sending Boyd for respawn immediately.      

2nd Battle: Essence Stalker wins!      

3rd Battle: begin!      

Now, it was time for the mighty Armonia to face off against the end of the world, Nightwalker.      

One had the power of the Immortals through Sun Wukong, possibly the strongest entity in Chinese Mythology right after Nezha, sometimes, the two even being on par.      

Then there was Nightwalker with the power of Jormungandr, possibly the strongest entity in Norse Mythology right after Odin.      

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven vs the Ragnarok Bringer.      

Just thinking about the titanic nature of this match brought chills to the heart.      

Sublime immediately applied for an expansion of the arena, paying 300 million platinum to upgrade the Arena space to Tier 6. It had previously been at Tier 3, and could be seen to have barely survived the earlier battles.      

In fact, after Hades and Elle's battle, the entire arena space had cracked and looked like it was about to shatter, leaving the core members fearful of their lives. As such, it was imperative that the place was suitably strengthened before the next stage of the battle occurred.      

Armonia simply transformed directly into the Great Sage, manifesting the Ruyi Jingu Bang and the Somersault cloud as he entered a battle stance. Nightwalker directly summoned the 10% sized body of Jormungandr and stood atop his head.      

This 10% sized Jormungandr was about the size of a small country, making Nightwalker look like a tony ant on his head in comparison. The two immediately classed without wasting even a second.      

Armonia manifested a talisman that was burning as he held it and blew on it. It then shattered and turned into a giant beam of orange energy that hurtled towards Jormungandr's face.      

Jormungandr roared and manifested a calamity portal that released a giant Solar Flare which lashed out like a whip towards the beam. The two clashed and exploded, causing a shockwave far greater than anything produced before this.      

Luckily, the explosion happened so high up that those on the ground were simply smashed to their knees while coughing blood instead of dying.      

Jormungandr didn't stop there and opened a fleet of calamity portals, looking like some form of Gilgamesh wannabe. However, instead of the archetypes of all Legendary and Divine weapons, what came out were endless Apocalypse.      

Caustic lava, Tsunami, blizzard and hurricanes were released separately towards Armonia's side of the arena, their sizes huge and their force great enough that the core members below had to flee for safety.      

Armonia's eyes gleamed as he flew up with the somersault cloud. He made some handsigns and manifested a shield made of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and passed through the lava crazily.          

When he came out, he used the somersault cloud to fearlessly travel through the stormy winds of the hurricanes, rather using their pushes and pulls to increase his speed.      

He the held the ruyi bang and let its size increase to the level of a skyscraper and swung horizontally, cutting the tsunami in half with sheer force and dispersing it into rain. He then grunted as he weathered the blizzard, relying on his own resistance and strength to not freeze to death.      

His shield helped keep the wind force and the cutting nature of the blizzard at bay, but could do nothing to the actual cold temperate that was created due to the snow itself. As you could imagine, it was meat freezer level cold, the kind were even the best duvet couldn't save you.      

Ice appeared on the tips of Armonia's fur, and his breath was easily visible as it came out in a mist. However, the speed he was traveling allowed him to appear on the other side of the apocalypse in time, and he was close enough to Jormungandr that he could strike.      

And that he did.      

Armonia easily hefted the giant staff weapon made of the greatest materials and swung it horizontally once more. The staff slapped Jormungandr's manifestation across the jaw, making the giant serpent grunt as it spat out some blood.      

Nightwalker frowned and jumped of Jormungandr's head, falling through the air towards where he calculated Armonia would be. He then opened smaller calamity portals, releasing more powerful Apocalypse like Searing Light and Engulfing darkness towards Armonia.      

The searing light was too fast for Armonia to dodge, and struck him head on. It collided with his Qi Shield and caused the entire thing to crack all over. Armonia paled as he was forced to burn bloodline energy in great amounts to convert into Yuan Qi to reinforce the barrier.      

Luckily, the searing light passed him by eventually, but when it hit the ground, it simply lasered through everything it came across and disappeared into the depths. Armonia knew that if he was hit by it, even if he survived, he would likely be left with only a meaty skeleton.      

Nightwalker above him frowned. Armonia was truly a tough one, but he wasn't bothered. For him, this fight consumed way less bloodline energy than what Armonia must be using. Apart from using the advanced Manifestation Technique of the Serpent God Inheritance to spawn Jormungandr, all he did was open calamity portals.      

It should be noted that Nightwalker didn't create these Apocalypse he was firing out, gods no. Long ago, Jormungandr had already bled, sweat and suffer to collect these Apocalypse and store them in his Apocalypse Realm.      

All Nightwalker did was release them basically, and that cost decimal points of bloodline energy. Armonia though, was burning significant amounts per second simply being transformed, much less using the power of the Great Sage.      

While his regeneration of bloodline energy could slow down the consumption, it was not enough to make it an eternal form just yet.
