Chapter 249-Fight
Dave and Topper faced each other in space, their eyes locked in a battle of wills. Topper, the guardian of the Mortal Plane, exuded an air of arrogance, and confidence in his superior status. Dave, however, stood tall with a calm and determined expression, his muscles coiled with raw power.
Without a word, the clash of powers began. Topper, wielding a mighty sword wreathed in dark energy, swung with deadly precision, aiming to cleave Dave in two. But Dave, relying solely on his physical prowess, met the attack head-on.
With lightning reflexes, Dave sidestepped the lethal strike, his movements fluid and precise. His fists, clenched with immense strength, struck out like thunder, delivering bone-crushing blows that reverberated through the arena. Topper, caught off guard by the sheer force behind Dave's attacks, stumbled backward, his arrogance momentarily shattered.
Undeterred, Topper regrouped, determined to regain control of the battle. He conjured dark energy to empower his strikes, seeking to overwhelm Dave with a barrage of potent magical attacks. But Dave, unyielding and unswayed, relied solely on his physical might, channeling his inner strength and discipline.
With every swing, and every punch, Dave showcased his remarkable prowess. His fists connected with Topper's defenses, cracking through the magical barriers with sheer force. Each blow reverberated through Topper's body, sapping his strength and resolve.
As the battle intensified, Topper's attacks grew increasingly desperate. Dark energy surged around him, attempting to bind Dave in shadowy restraints. But Dave had a high resistance against magic so he escaped it easily.
With a roar of determination, Dave unleashed a devastating onslaught. His fists became a blur, striking Topper with unrelenting fury. Each impact sent shockwaves through the air, cracking the ground beneath them. Topper, battered and broken, could do little but desperately defend against the overwhelming assault.
Finally, with one thunderous punch, Dave's fist connected with Topper's weakened defenses. The impact reverberated through Topper's body, sending him flying and crashing into his spaceship with a resounding thud.
Boom!
Dave looked at Topper with disdain and said, "Tsk! So, the power of a guardian is just so so. I only use my physique yet you are already defeated"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe subordinate of Topper was stunned as they didn't expect that their leader would be defeated. They felt despair as they knew that they would die.
Topper coughed blood and looked at Dave. His body is weak because of Dave's punch, and he realized that a dark energy is infiltrating his body. He cannot move nor use his powers and it makes him feel despair.
"Who are you? Do you know who is behind us, guardians?"
He shouted as he realized that he was not a match against Dave. Dave smirked and went near him.
"The Royal Court, right? Hehe I am not scared because no one will know what happened here"
The Dark Energy suddenly corrupted his body, and his life force is depleting.
"Arghh"
He shouted but it was too late as it occupied his whole body and lost his life. His subordinate is stunned but a second later, he again opens his eyes and he looks at Dave with reverence.
"Master"
He bowed to him and worshipped him.
His subordinates didn't expect their leader to be subdued by him and they felt that he was being controlled.
Dave smirked and then conjured a 5 black ball and gave it to Ronin.
"Feed them this energy."
He commanded them and Ronin and Gabriella followed his commands without a second thought.
"Arghh"
They shouted but they were now powerless in front of Dave, and they were forced to eat the black ball.
Their life force disappears but they are revived instantly and now belong to Dave's subordinate.
He interrogates Topper and learns some secrets. He commanded him to go back to the headquarters and tell other guardians that this world is clear and monitor their movements.
He cannot possibly control every guardian as he believed that the Royal court would notice something off.
That is the reason why he subdues him to plant spies in the headquarters. He knew that he could not fight against the Royal Court for now and he could not absorb the Spirit World in his space world so Topper could protect this world if he decided to enter the Immortal plane.
He also learns that he can go to the higher plane if he goes to the Floating Castle of the Guardians, but he decides to ascend in the normal way. He is curious about the feeling of facing Heaven Tribulation.
After that, he went back to his world and decided to give orders before he left. It's time for him to ascend so he creates a few more weak clones to guard the other places of the spirit world. He let the emperor of the Dragon Empire command the 10 Ancient Clan leaders and they didn't have a right to refuse his orders or else he would kill them.
He also talks to his women about it, and they didn't disagree with it, and they were even excited about it. They went back to their family in the spirit world to say goodbye. Rose also takes her time to talk to the emperor as she will miss him.
After everyone settled their matters, Dave appeared in a dry land where there are no other people living. He commanded the system to remove the Mark for the Universe to detect him. Just as he removed it, terrifying thick clouds appeared in the sky.
As Dave stood at the dry land, a celestial energy surged around him, crackling with power and intensity. The heavens roared, and dark clouds churned in the sky, signaling the arrival of the heavenly tribulation. It was a test that every aspiring Immortal had to face, a formidable challenge designed to weed out the weak and purify the strong and if they deserve to ascend to a higher plane.
Bolts of lightning cascaded from the darkened skies, striking the ground with explosive force. Thunder reverberated through the air, shaking the very earth beneath Dave's feet. The sheer magnitude of the celestial forces at play was enough to make even the bravest soul's tremble.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut Dave stood firm, his eyes blazing without fear. He understood that the heavenly tribulation would test not only his physical prowess but also his mental fortitude and spiritual resilience.
As the lightning bolts converged upon him, Dave raised his hands, channeling his own energy to create a protective barrier. The bolts crashed against the barrier, illuminating the area with blinding light and sending shockwaves rippling through the air. But Dave remained steadfast, his focus unwavering.
With each strike, Dave's body absorbed the energy, transforming it into a pulsating aura that surrounded him. The celestial lightning coursed through his veins, enhancing his strength, and empowering his every movement. He felt an exhilarating surge of power, a connection to the very forces of the universe.
As the thunder rumbled and the lightning intensified, Dave decided to test his body and let the lightning hit it directly.
Boom!
Dave felt the strength and intensity of the lightning, but his body was not damaged and was perfectly fine.
[Ding! It is detected that the host is exposed to the law of Lightning]
[Law of Lightning: 0.001%]
The system notified him, and Dave was shocked. "What is that?"
[The heavenly laws refer to the fundamental principles and natural order of the Universe]
[Studying law may amplify your powers and can be immune to other skills related to it]
[Right now, host, you are exposed to the Heavenly Lightning law and if your body endures it, the system will help you absorb it and make your own understanding about it expands]
Dave was stunned but he suddenly saw that the clouds were getting thicker, and the lighting was stronger than before. He felt that heaven was angry, but he felt delighted to see more lighting coming.
The heavenly tribulation intensified, throwing a barrage of challenges at Dave, and hitting his body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dave's clothes were destroyed but his body is perfectly fine as if the lighting didn't damage him. If normal Immortal was hit by that lightning, they would surely be now in ashes.
[Law of Lightning: 0.051%]
