Armipotent

Chapter 863: First Floor ~ Welcome to The Shadow Realm

After expressing his anger, Drakengard opened his mouth. The brown-colored fire gathered in his mouth; he was ready to shoot it at Revalor. Revalor's mouth twitched after being called tree man. Even though Elder Drake was about to shoot the drake fire, he was still calm and collected, "Your enemy is not me, massive fool."

At this time, Lu An came out from the crashed hole, "That's kinda unexpected and hurt," He muttered as he looked toward the massive Drakengard. Upon noticing that Elder Drake was about to attack his team, he disappeared into the shadow and appeared again below the massive drake.

Using Drakengard's shadow, Lu An formed a giant shadow fist. He then manipulated the shadow fist to execute an uppercut right on Drakengard's jaw. Even though Elder Drake noticed the incoming attack, he could not do anything about it because he was in the middle of charging his fire.

DUMP!

The shadow fist landed on the jaw and produced a satisfying noise. Drakengard's mouth was forcefully shut by the punch, causing the fire to explode inside his mouth. At the same time, the punch sent Elder Drake into the air. At the same time, a pained groan came out from Elder Drake. However, Drakengard would not let Lu An punch him without being unpunished.

Drakengard manipulated the earth and formed the earth spike. The earth spikes came out from the ground below Lu An, hitting him right on the chest and sending him flying backward. Even though the earth spike hit Lu An in the chest, it was blocked by the armor. He crashed to the ground once more, and this was more hurt than before.

Lu An came out from the dust and rubbed his chest, "This hurt more than before," he muttered while searching for Elder Drake, "But this is worth flipping upside down such a massive creature." He grinned despite the acute pain in his chest.

"Do you need my healing, Lu An?" Helia shouted from afar, but Lu An waved his hand to The Light Bombyx Mori, "Just stay close to Revalor. I will take care of this drake by myself!"

"HUMAN! YOU PUNY HUMAN DARES TO HURT THIS KING!" Drakengard's furious roar once more rang in the air. Elder Drake was back on his feet as the ground shook along with his anger. Controlling the ground, he created more spikes, surrounding Lu An with the spikes. However, that would not work the second time. By the time the spikes poked toward Lu An, he had disappeared into the shadow.

The shadow flashed toward the massive beast. By the time he arrived below Drakengard, Lu An had activated his Bloodline Transformation. His whole body turned into shadow while the two hundred meters area was covered with the shadow. Elder Drake recognized that as a threat, and he immediately tried to jump away from the shadow. However, his effort was futile because Lu An was just faster than him. By the time he landed on another spot, Lu An and his shadow were already there.

"What about this then!" Drakengard jumped into the air as he grew his feet larger with his Earth Elemental Power. He intended to crush the ground below him with his massive weight and feet by enlarging it with the earth.

Boom!

The ground was shaking again from the impact, and the ground was split into many cracks. However, despite the powerful stomp, the shadow was still there. Elder Drake's attempt to force Lu An out of the shadow was futile. Instead, Lu An launched the counter-attack as he gathered the two hundred meters wide shadows turned into a gigantic fist, bigger than the Elder Drake itself.

Bam!

The gigantic fist hit Drakengard right on the lower belly, sending him flying again. That was hurt for sure because the pained roar came out from the Elder Drake. Lu An did not stop there as he kept punching Elder Drake after it fell down. The ground vibrated from the impact of the series of the gigantic shadow fist. Despite his attempt to kill Elder Drake, the shadow fist did not really injure Elder Drake.

Lu An noticed his attempt to kill the King of the first floor was futile, so he changed the shadow form into a blade. The gigantic blade repeatedly blew the massive drake, but it barely injured it, let alone killed it. At this moment, he realized that they were in a stalemate situation where he could not kill Drakengard, and Drakengard could not hurt him either.

"Revalor is still stronger than me, huh!?" Lu An talked to himself as he looked at the wound on Drakengard's face. The wound was inflicted by one shot from Revalor. Here, he repeatedly attacked Elder Drake, but he could not break Elder Drake's defense. "I have to use that."

Lu An stopped attacking Elder Drake as the latter started to gain his footing, "What now, Puny Human? Do you realize that your attack is futile against my shell? I can't hit you, and you can't break my defense too! Do you feel despair now? Do you regret angering me, Human? My defense will never be broken with your shadow trick, but there's a limit for you to use your shadow trick. You, humans, do not have that much mana to maintain it. By the time you run out of mana, it will be the time you will die!"

Lu An came out from the shadow and looked up to the massive beast, "You talked so much for the supposed dignified King. I can't kill you!? What a joke. How about this?"

"Huh!? What happened?" Drakengard's confusing voice rang in the air. As soon as Lu An finished his words, his vision blackened. He could not see a single pitch-darkness. What was weirder, he could not hear anything either. The annoying wind that buzzed his ears was gone; it was as if he was in a different space, not in his territory. "Where am I?" This was the first time Elder Drake encountered such a situation. He panicked a little bit.

"Welcome to the Shadow Realm!" Then Drakengard heard the familiar voice of the Human who tried to kill him. He quickly realized he was inside that Puny Human's skill.
