Chapter 268: Battle with the Representative of Heavens (7)
Draco didn't know how many times he had slashed, destroying the arrows.
His clones and the images of the ancestral beasts had already been destroyed.
His own wave of arrows couldn't even put up a fight against this overwhelming assault.
He could feel his Originat draining at an alarming speed, as it took more and more power to destroy each arrow.
If he were still in his first ranger form, he was certain he wouldn't have lasted this long.
The Weapon of Plunder and the OmniForge Breaker were the only reasons he could keep up—making it easier for him to break through and destroy the arrows.
The young man watched this in surprise.
He hadn't expected Draco's Originat to be so vast—allowing him to hold out for this long.
Minutes passed, and after burning through a massive amount of Originat, Draco took deep breaths, staring at the young man.
This was the first time he had ever been so exhausted—forced to expend this much power and Originat just to defend against someone's attack.
He began analyzing the young man.
Draco knew he couldn't keep up at this pace.
If the young man kept attacking with such overwhelming power, Draco would be the first to fall.
He needed to find an opportunity to strike—to land a devastating blow on the young man.
Draco quickly checked through his skills and weapons before an idea struck him.
"Transcendent Cloning!"
Four clones of him appeared.
"Keep him busy," Draco commanded.
In an instant, his clones rushed forward, and Draco even handed them the Weapon of Plunder to maximize their effectiveness.
As the clones engaged the young man in battle, Draco prepared for his next move.
He needed to keep the young man distracted long enough to execute his plan.
Gripping the OmniForge Breaker, Draco summoned four legendary images behind him:
A Starry Sky Dragon, shimmering with celestial power.
A Three-Colored Phoenix, burning with divine flames.
A Primordial Demon, radiating an ominous aura.
A Tiger King, exuding raw, unrestrained might.
[Ancient Forging] (Active Skill)
Allows the user to forge metals into weapons—and even shape the universe, space-time, and reality into anything they desire.
Draco swung the OmniForge Breaker with precise force—striking the legendary images.
Slowly, he began molding them into the shape he wanted.
Moments later—
He had forged four arrows, each radiating devastating power:
A Silvery Draconic Arrow, glowing with starlight.
A Three-Colored Flaming Phoenix Arrow, burning with unquenchable fire.
A Black-Red Demonic Arrow, emanating an ominous aura.
A White Tiger Arrow with Golden Stripes, its blood-red tip radiating pure extermination.
Draco examined the four arrows, feeling their incredible power—
But alas—
He knew they still weren't strong enough to defeat the young man.
So he made a bold decision.
He would fuse them together—
Because fusion would make their power stronger than anything he had ever wielded before.
"Master, you can't fuse them together! You need a catalyst. The bloodline images you used are each defying in their own right. As hegemons of the world, they wouldn't agree to fuse with one another, and this would cause a massive explosion," Xylara's voice rang out.
"Yes, Master. You need a strong catalyst for this, or the explosion caused by their inability to fuse would erase everything," Lilith said solemnly.
Draco, who had been about to fuse the four arrows, paused when he heard this.
He hadn't expected such a severe repercussion.
This was truly surprising.
"A catalyst..." Draco muttered.
Then, an idea struck him.
The forbidden ability he possessed—perhaps it could tame them.
But he hesitated.
He didn't want to reveal the forbidden ability and alert the young man.
Things might go awry—especially since he still didn't fully understand the young man's strength.
Draco took a long look at his clones—
And thought of something.
SWOOSH!
The young man, still battling Draco's clones, was taken aback by their combat prowess.
He had been fighting them for a while now and realized—
They possessed all of Draco's combat power—
And were even stronger in terms of speed and strength.
This forced him to reassess Draco.
Why did Draco have such defying methods?
As the battle dragged on, the young man was caught off guard when the clones suddenly withdrew.
And then—
He heard it.
The sound of something piercing through the air.
By the time he turned to see what it was, it was already too late.
The attack was too close—
He had no way to dodge.
In that instant, he realized—
He was cornered from all directions by four arrows, each radiating immense destructive power.
BOOM!
A massive explosion engulfed the young man's figure.
The crowd watched in stunned silence.
Even those unfamiliar with Draco—
And those who knew him well—
Were shocked by the sheer combat power he was displaying.
They looked at him in astonishment.
Draco gripped the OmniForge Breaker tightly.
Above him, the four arrows were still floating—
But their tips were missing.
It turned out—
The attack that had struck the young man was only the tips of the arrows.
Draco raised the OmniForge Breaker once more—
And hammered his clones into pure Originat, each infused with their individual elements.
The arrows shattered—
Their different energies began to mix together.
The entire sky darkened.
Thunder cracked.
Hailstones rose from the ground.
The world itself trembled.
The crowd and the citizens of Cerulean could feel it—
The anger of Heaven.
What Draco was attempting—
Had incited the wrath of the Origin Heaven.
CRACKLE!
Golden lightning and thunder came crashing down—
Heaven's judgment had been delivered.
But then—
Something shocking happened.
And the crowd shivered in fear.
