Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Chapter 230: Echoing Far & Wide! (2)

*Swoosh!*

In the landscape of dark orange crystal and stormy-ice atmosphere, Erix was in a close and nonstop battle.

The enemy was a Beastfolk, but purer as he had a lizard head and dark orange scaled figure with a thick tail and two small horns.

Possing a powerful bloodline and in this destructive FrostBlaze domain he conjured, the enemy swept away Erix's Death Zone with only minor injuries.

Erix dodged an array of scorching dark orange bullets while creating an Etherine Veil plate for one bullet he knew he wouldn't be able to dodge before teleporting.

*Blink*

'Fuck, close..'

Erix appeared a few kilometers away while his defense plate melted and was destroyed as he felt the lingering searing heat and frostbite on his left shoulder.

There was a huge gash on his back where his flesh was melting and bubbling, creating a dirty wound. His spinal cord was injured, causing hot yet cold bouts of pain, but he could ignore that. He had to ignore that.

Erix was hit by an attack that shaved away 26% of his Life Orb, and this injury was not even healing at all with its debuff.

He only had time to drink one potion, and it could only be Mana because he needed to continue fighting and live to defeat his foe.

'It looks like this is it,' Erix's expression was somber, just like his enemy, as they both constantly moved, with Erix mainly escaping and dodging.

Unlike the other Royal-order hunters he had faced before, he couldn't afford a moment's waste or distraction in this battle. The enemy strongest he had faced yet and also the last Royal-order challenger.

This battle was dangerous enough to cost his life anytime, so it was time to wrap this up as fast as possible.

Erix's eyes glinted as he teleported a kilometer away from the Lizardman before his body briefly shone with vein-like patterns all over, and his arms blurred, sweeping forward masterfully as two chaotic spheres conjured before him and immediately phased into Space Limbo.

Combat Art: Celestial Chaos form!

'Damn it. I have to finish him off…' the Lizardman thought, getting an ominous feeling seeing Erix. 'I only managed to hit him once. Fuck, even Royal-order hunters don't dodge and do narrow defenses like him.'

'But his Space powers and superior combat sense are helping him…'

'I'll have to trap him. The frontal and even sneaky attacks are useless against him,' the Lizardman thought as he controlled his domain.

Erix ran and escaped from attacks while in his Celestial Chaos combat form as the enemy started constant attacks with his domain's advantage.

Even if he teleported quickly, the attacks would immediately arrive there, ready to strike him, but he was still fast and would narrowly dodge.

Several seconds later, Erix suddenly felt a frosty fountain bursting onto him from behind, slowing his movement and freezing him.

Immediately after that, two giant ice-flame dragons conjured.

Erix knew he wouldn't be able to dodge this wide area attack, and it was only a matter of less than a second before both dragon's devastating condensed beams from their mouths hit him.

'But I am prepared.'

Erix grinned for the first time since the battle started, his eyes visioning his path to victory.

'Paintscape.'

Erix's eyes shone silverly before a thin wall of space matter slapped on Erix, phasing him into Space Limbo right before those beams arrived, and even fixed the space disturbance to prevent the beams from affecting Erix.

He created a new use of his Space element to dodge attacks, though he had to be mindful of his Mana.

The beams passed by Erix while he teleported from Space Limbo instantly. The orbs were in Space Limbo but moved paralleled alongside him to his left and right.

The Lizardman immediately turned around and sensed Erix five hundred meters away, but the only thing he saw was…

The Resonating Turbulent Punch!

Lizardman's danger alarms rang loudly as his body burst out with blood-red particles that transformed as he consumed his Blood Essence to boost his defense skill.

Right before the punch projectile reached him, an eccentric prism barrier surrounded him.

*BOOM!*

Erix grinned, his eyes sharp as he teleported to the right of Lizardman before the two chaotic orbs merged into each other, and he swung his fists again.

The chaotic energies were vacuumed and infused as his fists produced Punch projectiles due to his Punch Ordnance effect, compacting the chaos within them. Both Punches shot forward while spinning around each other with chaotic energies raging within them and around them!

Perfect-formed Resonating Turbulent Punch!

*BOOM*

'Arghhh!' Lizardman's bloodshot eyes indicated that he was infusing the energy of his defense to strengthen it, but the immediate impact of a full-powered second punch instantly destroyed his barrier.

*Crack!*

The domain shattered as they returned to the material world. The powerful and destructive impact blasted the Lizardman away with severe injuries as he shot through the sky.

Erix narrowed his eyes as he teleported at a maximum distance before creating a space wall to stop Lizardman and throwing a Symphony Echo Punch at near point-blank range.

The Lizardman was still conscious despite severe injuries and hurriedly executed a defensive skill, but it couldn't fully form before Erix's punch struck him!

*Booom!*

*Splat!*

Blood and gore exploded as the tough and last Royal-order challenger met his demise.

*Crackle…Boom!*

On the other hand, Erix's eyes reflected bright light and explosion a few kilometers ahead as the domain of Rin's foe shattered with her large Chaotic Cross-Slash, finishing off her opponent.

Her left leg was horribly injured, with minor shockwave injuries around her body.

Both of them immediately drank healing potions first as their injuries started recovering.

With how they have improved in the four hours after they created their Combat Arts and defeated two Royal-order powerhouses, they had already perfected the one-shot execution sequence.

However, the duo still encountered dangerously narrow moments of life & death and suffered injuries for one reason only.

They wanted to properly fight the last two Royal-order hunters for situations like 'what if they failed to one-shot?'.

They wanted to fight a fair and narrow battle against the last two that would push them to their limits before having to use their trump card.

After finishing the potion, Rin looked at Erix, who floated a few kilometers away, showing him a victory gesture with her index and middle finger and a big grin on her face.

Erix laughed and teleported beside her before hugging her.

They had completed their challenges, defeating all ten Royal order hunters, and gained massive improvements!

If someone told them they would become this powerful and create such means of combat one day ago, even they wouldn't believe it!

"Congratulations, you two. Simply wonderful."

Lilith flashed like a shadow before them as she clapped with a grin, "You two are officially invincible in this Kaalanx Abyss. No one can kill you two unless, well, you court your death yourselves."

"Then I guess we are not invincible," Rin chuckled. "Because we become more powerful only by courting death and keeping it close."

"Can't deny that," Erix laughed.

"I am super proud, hahaha. You two exceeded my expectations."" Liith joyfully hugged them tight.

"But we are still not done yet," Erix smiled, his eyes still lit up with vigorous flames.

"The effect of pills lasts 24 hours, and we've only spent nine-plus hours so far," Rin grinned.

"The new day has already begun, so you two should do your special spiritual art training," Lilith nodded in response, her eyes glinting, "You will have a double boost for one and a half hours. That's going to be a crazy session…."

Erix and Rin looked at each other, thrilled! The benefits of Limitless Plane + Pills = crazy training mode!

"Go and cook something for me," Lilith grinned, "I'll stay here and guard you.

...

"All died? Hahaha..."

The Rat king laughed in his underground chamber, his eyes glinting red.

"But this is just the beginning. You have to kill more."

Suddenly, a man with a duck head and short stature entered the chamber with a respectful expression and bowed, "Sir, the six elite Royal-order dragons have arrived."

"They are here? Perfect!"

The Rat-king immediately stood up from his comfy couch and gathered the hundreds of comm cards and Hunter cards that littered the table before him.

"Lead them here and also call those subordinates of Dark Sterling Valen. They are at Red Yak Inn having fun with snake women, so if they don't want to come, tell them to come after they are done."

Duckman internally scoffed while he nodded outside and bowed. "Understood, master."
