Chapter 228
Inside Ascending to Godhood
"So, where are we going?" Mantle followed Daniel while asking. They were walking through trees in a forest.
"Come on! Just follow me." Daniel smirked while looking at the watch on his wrist. There was a special map on it which showed a red dot. They were following that red dot.
After few minutes of running, they reached their targeted location. In front of them, a young man was standing with two swords in his hand. Each sword released lightning as he swings it around.
Bang!
Just when he tried to swing against a wolf, a red flame burst out.. Two wings formed out of flames on the back of Mantle increased by his speed. Lucas who had barely swing his sword got surprised by the flames but still blocks the opponent with another sword.
The flame's wings moved in front of him as they tried to pierce Lucas but got blocked by his sword. Mantle's eyes got red as he slowly falls into the madness upon seeing Lucas. And, the same thing happened when Lucas saw Mantle's face.
Boom!
Suddenly, the black wings appeared behind him increasing his strength. The lightning generated by his body doubled. It infused with his sword and landed on Mantle's body but when it collided against the flame covering his body, the lighting and flames exploded.
The explosion got so massive that it sucked both of them into it. But, both Lucas and Mantle had a thin layer of lightning and flame to protect themselves from the opponent's element. As for their own, they didn't get hurt by it.
Both had a hundred percent synchronization with their elements, so they weren't hurt by it. The explosion didn't impact Lucas as much as it did to Mantle. When he was pushed back, Mantle looked at Lucas with madness and shouted "How could you have higher cultivation than me?"
"How? How? How? How?"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom!
Forming a sword made out of flames, Mantle strikes Lucas from different directions. Although Lucas could cope with his attacks, it only got wilder. Although Lucas was also mad, his mind was much clearer than Mantle's.
Mantle was falling harder into madness due to cultivation.
"Fire Laser!"
Whoosh! Bang!
Suddenly, a figure landed behind Lucas and shot a red burning stream of fire towards Lucas from his back. The attack was very sudden but Lucas still saw that. Sword Spirit and Slaughter Spirit overlapped his left sword as he sliced through the red fire laser.
But, as soon the fire laser got split in half, the two parts explode. As Lucas fell between two parts, his body got engulfed by the explosion.
Whoosh!
But, suddenly two black wings fluttered, creating a massive impact of wind. It forced the fire to move away while Lucas fly up to the sky. As soon as he reached the sky, he raised his right sword high and infused the lightning in it.
"Lightning Dragon Sword Art- Lightning Dragon Bolts"
His sword released the lightning to the sky. In an instant, the black clouds covered the sky and a bolt of lightning fell. Just when it reached halfway, the lightning bolt transformed into a dragon that descended from the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The first lightning dragon bolt was followed by several other lightning dragon bolts. They fell over Mantle and Daniel like a storm.
"Fire Shield!"
"Earth Shield!"
"Wind Shield!"
"Tri-edged Golden Shield!"
Daniel instantly laid out three circular shields and one triangular shield above them. When the lightning dragon bolts collided against the fire shield, the explosion occurred. It was so massive that the trees surrounding them were uprooted from the land.
Bang! Bang! Crack! Crack! Boom!
As soon as the fire shield broke, the lightning fell on the earth shield. This shield was much more powerful than the fire shield and blocked lots of attacks. But, it soon cracked and got blasted into pieces.
Bangggggggg!
Against the windshield, only one lightning bolt was enough. The wind wasn't supposed to be used for defense but it did its job. Because of the collision, the wind scattered with an immense pressure that knocked Lucas away.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
But, the lightning dragon bolts didn't stop and continued piercing the last shield. The golden shield was created by the golden energy which prevented the lightning from leaking out for a long time.
'Damn! This guy has improved so much. He was just a weak chicken when we fought. But, how could his lightning improve so much? Is it because of that black wings? That does seem like the wings of angels but they were supposed to be either golden, yellow, or white.'
'So, why does he have black wings? Damn! I almost forgot. He also participated in that raid which means his cultivation rose by five ranks. No wonder, he was so far ahead. If we keep on fighting like this, we might lose.'
Crack! Crack! Crack! Boom!
Daniel gritted his teeth while trying to find the solution for this battle. He came here to hunt Lucas but it backfired him. His golden shield was also cracked by the lightning dragon bolts. And, only after few more strikes, it got completely shattered.
"Devils' Blooming Lotus Kick!"
Suddenly, the dark purple flames burned out. Mantle infused his leg with the dark purple flames and kicked up in the sky. The flames came out in the form of a small folded flower. When the leaves slowly unfolded, the purple lotus spun as it attracted the lightning inside it.
Boom!
After attracting every lightning dragon bolt on it, the purple lotus exploded. The explosion was so big that Lucas was sent flying even higher and Mantle was smashed to the ground. Lucas didn't suffer manage damage but the impact of wind flow caused some cuts all over his body.
'Mantle, this time I will take revenge for my brother.'
Seeing those purple flames, Lucas completely ignored the bleeding and flapped his black wings. He dropped straight towards Mantle while crossing both of his swords at each other.
"Lightning Dragon Sword Art- Lightning Angel Fall!"
The latest creation of his sword art. Using the wings to generate immense speed, he can cut someone even before they could realize anything. His sword pointed towards Mantle in an attempt to stab him. But when he reached in front of Mantle, cold air blew around him.
"Devouring the Heaven!"
Mantle raised his hand towards Lucas and released his blue spirit. It gathered around at his palm and condensed a whirlpool. Just the moment it appeared, the flames spread around them, covering them into a spherical domain.
Inside the domain, the lightning of the sword got sucked inside the whirlpool while the sword stabbed his chest. But, at this moment Mantle didn't die. His condition was completely changed. The dark purple flame around his eyes, legs, and hands
The blue spirit around his chest. But, Lucas' sword spirit successfully pierced it. But, Mantle raised his hand and caught the sword. He held the sword hard in his hand and pushed it out.
As soon as the sword came out, his wounds completely healed. Before Lucas could make any movement, Mantle slashed his nails condensed with purple flame at Lucas's chest.
Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!
"Teleport!"
But, suddenly Mantle disappeared along with Daniel. As they appeared hundreds of meters away, Daniel sighed "Man, you are not ready for the complete demon transformation. Your body will crumble after using it. Hush! Boss, you put a huge burden on my shoulder."
Wrapping Mantle with a special chain, he took him away. At this current state, Mantle couldn't even recognize Daniel so he tried to attack. But, those chains binds him so hard that he couldn't even move. Although his flames were intensely hot, they couldn't melt the chain as well.
As soon as Mantle disappeared, Lucas only had a blank expression on his face. He clenched his fist so hard that his nails pierced his skin. He turned his head at the sky and roared "Damn it!"
Lucas naturally understood he would have died if he had to fight Mantle in that state. For a moment, he couldn't even call him Mantle. After all, everything from expression to power level changed to the extreme.
Outside the Ascending to Godhood.
"Waiting for me? You knew I would come here?" Mike looked at the person in front of him with a suspicious gaze. He didn't understand why this person was waiting for him. And more importantly, how did he know Mike would come here?
"You seriously don't think that you can merge your spirits with the instruction left by your master, do you?" The man smirked as he replied sitting in his position.
"What do you mean?" Mike got a little gloomy. He didn't understand whether this man was insulting him or his master.
"Don't be mad! I already knew that he has given you the instruction. But, without a certain help, you can never merge the spirits. Those things are just basics that you must remember. As for the true amalgamation, it needs help from a certain person." The man slowly rose from his seat and walked towards Mike.
"You mean I need external help to merge my spirits?" Mike asked as his expression returned to normal.
"Kind of! How about visiting a special chamber with me?"
