Life After Reaching The Pinnacle

Chapter 16 - 16: Betrayal

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Betrayal

Aurora watched in awe, she couldn't believe an attack of hers had caused such destruction. She was a Spirit Profound Stage Artist before being crippled, even then she couldn't achieve something like this. She even wondered if this attack was hers to begin with.

There was nothing left where the high mountain once was, only a deep crater was there, everything there turned into dust.

"It's because of Asty's lightning you absorbed earlier, you won't be able to achieve such results by yourself with your current strength but once you begin converting and storing your own lightning in your body, you'll be able to achieve things like this pretty easily." Aadi said.

Aurora had a look of realization, as she has guessed, this wasn't her power but a borrowed power. After listening to Aadi, she was excited and looking forward to the time when she'll be able to possess this power.

"Though you did good in controlling that lightning and I have to say you're better than I expected." Aadi said with a light smile.

As they were conversing, they didn't notice that a big golden paw shape thunder forming behind them. Suddenly, Aadi's eyes went wide and he quickly turned around but it was too late.

That thunder paw hit Aadi in the chest, sending him flying through mountain to mountain. Aadi stabilized himself after crashing on some boulder and wiped the black blood that was coming out of his mouth.

"I had to say you chose a perfect time huh, Asty." Aadi said, narrowing his eyes at Asty, who was currently levitating above in the dark golden clouds with thunder surrounding her whole body and her eyes turning golden.

"Well this was the best opportunity for striking you, you were in your weakest state." Asty said with a smile and as if listening to her emotions golden thunder danced around everywhere making the sight as if welcoming calamity.

"Heh, so what? do you truly think I would go down without a fight? Let's see who comes on top then." Aadi smile in craziness and stood up.

"Well then show me if you're still the old Aadi that I know." Asty also responded with a crazed smile.

As soon as her voice fell, Aadi stomped his leg, making strange characters appear, all those characters then went in all parts of this small space that Asty created, these characters then merged with it making this space strong.

These characters also went to Aurora who had her brain fried by how things escalated quickly, these characters made a thin water like barrier around her.

"Well I was gonna do that anyway so let's begin, shall we? I'm looking forward to what you're gonna use this time." Asty chuckled and shot the thunder at Aadi, at the same she activated her domain, filling the whole place with golden thunder.

Aadi just slapped the thunder away and activated his own domain, blue flames began to emerge from Aadi's body and shot in every direction. Aadi's domain also pushed Asty's domain back.

Currently, both domains were covering the whole space, dividing it by half. In one part all one can see is golden Thunder dancing around and on the other side was a hell made of terrifying blue flames whose temperature was unknown.

The area where the two domains collided has green coloured smoke.

Space around them began to rupture just by being in contact with the blue flame and golden thunder.

Aadi clicked his fingers and hundreds of thousands of blue portal began to form behind him, out of these portals came blue flaming swords.

Aadi then threw these blue flaming swords at Asty, Of course Asty didn't stay still, she also made uncountable number of thunder arrows and threw them at Aadi.

'kaboom'

The swords and arrows traveled rapidly and collided with each other in the middle of their domain and exploded, clearly their power level was equal.

If it was only one it would have been normal but when thousands of these explosion happened, it was a wonderful sight. The whole sky was filled with the explosives of the endless arrows and swords.

"There's no point in this flashy battle Asty, just admit defeat as you can never defeat me in a fist fight." Aadi chuckled as he withdrew all the swords in the portal.

"Well that's true, for me to defeat you I had to go into my true form and it's too troublesome to be in that form, so why don't we decide by that who'll be the winner." Asty said as she also withdrew her arrows.

As soon as Asty's word fell, thunder began to condense around Asty forming a big human hand.

"Oh so that's how you gonna do, well I'm ready for that," Aadi said and he also condensed his blue flames into a big human hand.

Asty nodded at Aadi and the two brought their hands forward and yelled at the same time.

"Rocks Paper Scissors"

As the two big hands showed the result, Aadi has a look of despair and Asty has victorious look. Asty's hand showed an open palm and Aadi's hand showed a fist. Clearly Aadi had lost.

Aadi fell to his knees in despair but then he laughed out aloud. Asty has a confused look on her face as she heard his laugh. It was clearly her victory then why was he laughing.

"I already knew something like this would happen so I prepared a triumph card just for dealing with you hehe be prepared for your defeat Asty." Aadi chukled sinisterly and sucked back all the blue flame into his body and put his hand into his pocket dimension.

Asty also absorbed all the thunder and landed on the ground as she stared at Aadi or more precisely at his hand which was in pocket dimension. She was really looking forward to what Aadi has left in his arsenal.

Aadi showed a slight smile as he saw Asty's curious gaze, he brought out a football sized box out of the pocket dimension and showed it to Asty.

Asty's eyes went wide in surprise and she took a step back in shock. She stuttered and asked.

"This this this… how can you have this? It's impossible,,"
