The Lord Is Too Overbearing

Chapter 333 A Parting Gift (6)

Charles threw the mini black sun that the two black hands behind him were holding at Basil as Basil charged at him. Durendal and Caliburn shone brightly in their own unique colour, enveloping Basil with power unique to them.

BOOM!

As Durendal and Caliburn made a contact with the black sun, two power with the exact opposite nature clashed against each other. The world on Basil's side was enveloped in light, meanwhile the world on Charles' side was enveloped in darkness.

When Durendal and Caliburn cut the mini black sun in two, the two parts of the black sun immediately launched themselves to the sides. In a few milliseconds, the gravity of the area in front of Basil became heavier.

The force went up rapidly; Basil was forced to immediately utilize his Step Art to step back. His body was being pulled, and he was sure he would see a Dimensional Tear soon.

"Well... I would be lying if I said expected him to do that."

Charles' Spell was intended for rupturing the space from the beginning. He was planning to crush Basil with the dense gravity a Dimensional Tear possessed.

To do this, one required a certain level of Mastery over Space Magic and a quite mind boggling destructive power. While Charles had a decent understanding about Space Magic, his power was by no means enough to allow him to create a Dimensional Tear.

Of course, this was possible because of the Dragon Heart. It was also possible that he even obtained the knowledge required to create a Dimensional Tear because of it.

Whoosh!

As the two parts of the black sun disappeared, Basil could see a small black dot in front of him, which was gradually getting bigger. The space around it warped; it was as if looking at the concave part of a spoon.

The suction force was becoming exponentially stronger each time the diameter of the small dot in front of him increased. If it wasn't for his Sword Domain, he would have already been sucked into the black dot and crushed to death.

"Shouldst thou know what thou art doing, very sure I am thou will not be as daring!" Basil exclaimed.

"I know what I am doing, and that is why I am doing it," Charles sneered.

The increasing size of the black dot was tantamount to how severe the Dimensional Tear was. The bigger the black dot was, the wider the Dimensional Tear and the more dangerous the situation would be.

The Dimensional Tear needed to be closed as soon as possible, which was why Basil called one of the biggest swords floating above his Domain's ground—a great sword the size of a seven storey building—to do it.

Although Basil was not really a master in Space Magic, he knew how to close a Dimensional Tear. The guide even provided him with extra knowledge, so he was absolute he could close it completely.

Infusing the gigantic sword with his Qi, the golden grass on his Domain's ground shot towards it. The grass blades turned into a golden or silvery blue light upon touching it, tempering it and amplifying its pressure.

"What is he doing? Don't tell me he is going to penetrate the Dimensional Tear with it and reverse the gravity to return the space to its original shape." Charles scoffed. "Well, he can try."

Badump-badump.

As he put his hand on his heart, Charles could feel it beating vigorously. He didn't know, however, whether it was due to how much Mana it was pumping or his nervousness of Basil's succession of closing the Dimensional Tear.

His body felt hot due to the amount of Mana filling his bloodstream. He felt like he could do anything; yet unfortunately, he couldn't even send a single Spell towards Basil.

The Dimensional Tear he had created was sucking in not only Basil, but also him. In other words, rather than hitting Basil, once he sent his Spell, it would only get sucked into the Dimensional Tear in front of him.

Because of that, he sincerely hoped that Basil wouldn't do something miraculous like closing the Dimensional Tear. If it happened, he would be extremely pissed.

"Mine eyes can see that once this Tear is closed, a battle more fierce that is filled with more fervour will ensue," Basil muttered as he pushed his gigantic sword forward. "It is time for me to put not only my soul but also my body into it."

Swish!

As the gigantic sword was sent forward, it rotated itself as if it was drilling something. One could see strings of Mana gradually forming around it, following its rapid rotating movement until it looked like a mass of Mana torpedo.

One would be able to notice the slight warp in the space if one looked closely. Charles noticed it, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth as he flipped the pages of the Grimoire in his hand and the gigantic Grimoires behind him.

Wooong!

"This accursed bastard!"

As soon as Charles saw Basil's gigantic sword, which looked no different from a Mana drill, made a contact with the black dot that was already as big as a child's head, he knew Basil would succeed in closing the Dimensional Tear.

The rotating gigantic sword created a field of Mana on its tip, which was pulling on the bent space. The black dot was getting smaller in each passing second, meanwhile Charles and Basil were ready to go at each other again.

PLUP!

When the Dimensional Tear was closed, the great sword dispersed, and both of them could hear an extremely loud sound of a water drop. As soon as they heard that, they both dashed towards each other.

Basil was covered in his True Light Magic armour, meanwhile Charles was covered in his Lightning armour. Basil had Durendal, Caliburn, and thousands of bladed weapons behind him, whereas Charles had only a lightning sword in his hand.

Zap! Zap!

Swish! Swish!

Thousands of lightning bolts struck the thousands of bladed weapons following behind Basil, stopping them in their tracks. Durendal and Caliburn were swung at Charles in the next moment, and Charles parried them with his lightning sword.

Zzzzz!

The lightning sword surprisingly could take Durendal and Caliburn head on. It even managed to make both of them hum, which slightly astonished Basil.

"Did you know that Bahamut was hailed as the god of storm before? In case you are wondering, that is the reason why my lightning sword is capable of parrying your swords."

"Surely, I know of that trivia way before I fight you ... Still, thou shallst not think it is going to be sufficient to take me down. [Haywire]!"

"What the...!"

As soon as Vagus', or rather, Asia's Ability was utilized, Charles immediately widened his eyes in shock. He could immediately know the flow of Mana inside him had been messed, which also affected his movement.

Boom!

He didn't want to take a risk by fighting Basil, so he immediately cast the advanced version of [Thunderclap], which he had created during his fight with basil after he saw Basil use it once, to move away.

He wasn't yet as well-versed in Magic as Basil during this time, however he could still recreate a Spell in the spot like Basil thanks to his Dragon Heart.

Swish! Swish!

After executing the advanced [Thunderclap], Charles found that Basil could still match his movement speed. He was immediately greeted by countless of bladed weapons as soon as he reappeared, meanwhile Basil was already in front of him.

"Running away doth not always mean thou canst get away."

"What in the Akashic Record is this brat made of?"

Buzz!

As Caliburn was swung, Charles parried it with his lightning sword. He managed to parry it, however he couldn't stop Durendal from cutting a huge part of his lightning armour.

"Can you even cut lightning?!" Charles exclaimed absurdly.

"Electricity is attracted to metals, is it not?" Basil responded with a small smile. "Thy lightning hath just found out my sword is more appealing than thy body."

Clicking his tongue at how playful and equally disdainful Basil was, Charles momentarily lost control over his body. His hand that was holding his lightning sword slipped, allowing Basil to swing Caliburn at him.

"[Beacon of Glory]!"

A beam of concentrated Mana came out of the tip of Caliburn; it hit Charles right in his stomach, sending him higher to the sky. Unfortunately, just a second before the beam exploded along with Charles, he managed to erect a Barrier.

Boom!

The sky was illuminated by a bright golden light as soon as the beam exploded. It held on for six seconds before dispersing.

As soon as the light died down, Basil could immediately see a massive, dark cloud gathered above Charles, who was encapsulated in a Barrier. It swirled in the next moment, gradually creating countless of whirlwinds.

Crack! Crack!

Thunderbolts decorated the dark cloud; Charles was in the center of it. Gone was the influence of [Haywire] as he had completely overwhelmed his body with Draconic Mana.

Charles' Domain had been dematerialized the moment he was hit by Caliburn's beam. The sky looked as gloomy as the sky of his Domain despite so, and Basil couldn't help frowning at that.

"Hath he finally learnt Dragon—"

BOOM!

"Darn it!"

Basil cursed for the first time as a lightning bolt was close to strike his head. He couldn't see the movement of the lightning bolt that was faster than any other normal lightning bolts.

Luckily, he had the bladed weapons from his still active Domain to take on the lightning bolt. He was safe because of them; alas, he found out something rather unnerving from the event.

The swords and daggers that had taken the lightning bolt for him had been destroyed. In other words, the bladed weapons from his Domain could no longer take the lightning bolt.

Despite so, Basil could still smile. He pointed Durendal, Caliburn, and all of the bladed weapons—including the gigantic swords—in his Domain at Charles.

Flash!

When the lightning bolts struck down, all of them went towards either the bladed weapons from Basil's Domain or Durendal and Caliburn.

Zzzz!

Basil amassed all of the electricity he got from taking the lightning bolts head on, and created a dense ball of plasma in the space between the two of his Domain's gigantic swords that was adjacent to each other.

"[Twin Mountain Cleaver]!"

When he sent the dense ball of plasma to the eye of the storm—at Charles—he accompanied it with his Sword Technique. In the next moment, the dark cloud was coloured in blue, and the sky was split apart.
