Chapter 1477: An Ancient Dragon and a Void Beast (Part 2)
On the other hand, his opponent was not in a hurry to fight yet and waited for Arthur with full patience. He did not move and even closed his eyes, seemingly asleep. If not for his mask, then the people would be shocked at what he was doing.
This lasted for a couple of minutes, making those people watching from the spectator\'s seats and the audience of the live broadcast frown.
Those impatient people even started spamming the chat, cursing, and calling the battle a fraud.
This gave David and Miss Bunny to discuss a little.
"It seems like Siegfried was trying to enter an absolute battle state," said David after looking at Arthur for a moment.
Miss Bunny shared the thoughts of the views and knitted her brow before asking. "What does it mean, Mr. Khing? Can you explain the way we can understand?"
David thought for a moment before chuckling. "It is hard to explain as it is something quite complicated. But if we put it in simple terms-… let\'s say that Siegfried is trying to enter a battle mentality that perfectly suited himself, particularly his battle style."
Miss Bunny still needed to be clearer about it, but she somewhat got the idea. "Is this something powerful? And will this make him stronger than he already is?"
David nodded with a mystifying style. "Just stronger? That is an understatement. Once he succeeds, he will achieve something that will make him a true god of the virtual world."
David was implying that Arthur was trying to look for the perfect style and state that would complement each other – or in simpler terms, he was trying to awaken a combat state that would seamlessly fit everything; he was trying to find his Natural State.
Arthur was trying to enter a Natural State that would perfectly fit his Martial Arts Prodigy combat talent, his Martial Arts, his Foresight special talent, his bloodline powers, and everything else.
David knew that it would be much more powerful compared to others, especially since Arthur possessed something that other people did not.
He was getting more and more interested in this battle.
"Does this mean his opponent knows about this as well since he is just standing there doing nothing?" asked Miss Bunny keeping the discussion continued.
Hearing that, David could not help but widen his smile. "You can say that."
"Isn\'t he too confident?" asked Miss Bunny, which was also what the people in the chat were spamming. "His opponent is the Dragon God after all. His reputation is not unfounded."
David chuckled after hearing that comment. "I don\'t know about other people, but that guy over there has the right to be cocky on everything he does."
…
Going back into the arena, Arthur finally found something within him. There was a multicolored ember within his heart, blazing intensely and giving him a warm feeling that filled him with overwhelming power.
With that, he also started to feel that the blood flowing within his veins became hot and violent like a raging magma.
But instead of discomfort, Arthur felt warm and comfortable.
This might be the virtual world and his body was nothing but a mere avatar, but it was still the reflection of reality, especially with those virtual combat states that could give them unimaginable powers.
It was at this moment that Uno opened his eyes and stared at the person standing across from him. Other people might not be able to see it, but he could. There was a sleeping power within Arthur on the brink of awakening, and it was something that made even him interested.
With a satisfied smile, Uno nodded his head and watched Arthur.
Swoosh!
A multicolored flame suddenly covered Arthur\'s entire body as he subconsciously entered the \'Reality Manifestation\'.
Boom!
An overwhelming pressure immediately descended in the entire place, which produced strong air currents that made it visible for everyone watching both from the spectator\'s stand and the live broadcast.
"What the heck? What is that?"
"What a powerful aura! It is much more powerful than those we see from others!"
"Is it just an aura? Or something else?"
As the people commented on what they were seeing and flooded the chat of the live broadcast with stunned emojis, another change occurred.
Roar!
A deafening roar suddenly resounded from Arthur\'s body, shaking the entire place. It even broke through the invisible barrier separating them from the live audience, making them tremble in fear.
Bang!
Then everyone saw a huge ancient dragon appear behind Arthur. It was a humongous dragon that was as tall and wide as the tallest and largest mountains in the real world.
It had diamond scales that were as smooth as jade and resembled the most luxurious and most expensive gems. Each of these scales was emitting a multicolored light as if they mirror reflecting the light.
A dragon with a mountain-like body and four muscular limbs stood behind Arthur. Its claws were digging deep into the ground while the gigantic wings on its back covered the sky.
This majestic and domineering dragon seemed to be the pinnacle of everything. It was like an existence that looked from above, acting like a deity.
Once it looked at Uno, who was standing opposite Arthur, an insurmountable pressure suddenly descended from the sky and pressed on the opposing side. It seemed like it was trying to crush Uno with its gaze.
This creature was not just a mere Aura Manifestation, but something that surpassed it by a large margin.
In other terms, it was a complete Battle Spirit, which was the advanced version of the Aura Manifestation.
But instead of taking the humanoid dragon that Arthur was supposed to have, it maintained its dragon form but still surpassed all the other Battle Spirits of those in the same realm.
This did not mean that Arthur had already broken through the Ethereal Opening Stage and stepped on the Ascension Realm. But it was still a sign that he was already a step away from it – or even had his foot stepped between the two realms.
Seeing all of this, Uno, who was standing calmly on the opposite side could not help but become excited. This dragon was different from what he had seen from every member of the Springfield Family after his eyes saw the reflection of their souls.
It was also different from what he had seen from Shenyoung, who showed him the current pinnacle of the Springfield Bloodline.
Moreover, it was way more powerful than that Golden Dragon that he had seen when he first entered the isolated dimension where Evangeline was currently staying, which was being protected by the Blessing of the Solar Dragon according to her words.
Trying to suppress his excitement, Uno quickly responded and accepted the contest.
Swoosh!
He quickly released his killing intent to the fullest, not holding anything back. The entire place was immediately shrouded by cold air as the sky was dyed red.
His killing intent was so dense that it became visible to the eyes of those people watching them. They even saw the crimson wings that were formed on his back after the killing intent was condensed.
Roar!
At the same time, darkness enveloped the space behind him. An existence that was no weaker than the dragon standing opposite him was suddenly manifested from that place.
This existence was like a monster shrouded by darkness, or it was even the darkness itself. It seemed to have stepped out from the abyss. It did not have a distinct form, but its size was at least comparable to the colossal dragon opposite to it.
This monster was said to be the \'Void Beast\'.
According to the records of the lost history, it was said to be one of the existences that first appeared in the universe. They were creatures that were born with the universe itself, creatures that came from the \'True Origin\' itself.
They had been in existence even before the world was created.
If Ancient Dragons were said to be an existence that was birthed from the \'True Origin\' itself as they were birthed from nature and could command the purest and densest form of energies, then Void Beast was a fragment of this \'True Origin\' and possessed powers that come from it.
This Void Beast standing behind Uno was still far from what those legends and myths had said, but it was still more powerful than any other Battle Spirits out there.
It was the same for Ancient Dragon standing behind Arthur, who was now aggressively and fiercely glaring at the Void Beast opposite it.
Boom!
A powerful collision of auras between the two Battle Spirits resulted in a chaotic storm that disrupted the flow of mana in their surroundings.
They had yet to make their moves, but the battle had already started as their respective Battle Spirits started overwhelming one another.
