Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 40: Dragon Force

Both combatants stared at each other, one bathed in red lightning and the other in black.

Kirin was surprised at the human transformation, but it didn't let that get to it. Kirin then watches in shock as the human instantly disappears in front of its eyes.

SWOOOSH!

Tang Wulin fist came straight at Kirin, who quickly use its lightning shield to block the punch.

Tang Wulin fist made contact with the barrier and blew right through it, as it smashes into Kirin.

BANG!

Kirin was sent flying but then Tang Wulin open his mouth and release a brilliant beam of pure destruction that was eight feet in diameter.

Kirin instantly disappears as the beam tear through the hills and rocks of the mountain, while causing a huge gust that almost blew everything away.

Tang Wulin swiftly moved his head to track Kirin and then he looks up, to see the Kirin on a cliff. The Kirin roar as the fierce storm started to crackle with power.

Tang Wulin looked up as a bolt of lightning came down and then he punches up.

BANG!

The lightning bolt was instantly destroyed, causing Kirin to narrow its eyes. It started raining down lightning down on Tang Wulin, who was ignoring the lightning and dash after Kirin.

He started inhaling as the lightning bolts were getting closer to him, stopping Kirin attack.

'Impossible.' Zhao Jiu thought in absolute and utter shock.

Kirin quickly dashes away as the ground started to explode under him, multiple explosions rang out at the same time.

Kirin turns its eyes to see Tang Wulin coming down with a fist coated with energy. It disappeared again as his fist smashes straight through the ground and shattered the ground beneath him.

Tang Wulin swings his arm, as energy chains erupted out of the grounds to chase after Kirin, who kept on blinking away. Tang Wulin narrows his eyes and then summon his Light Wings.

His Dragon Force aura started to fuse with the luminous wings, causing the luminous wings to shimmer with both gold and black brilliance.

Tang Wulin then dash toward the Kirin, cracking the earth and creating sonic booms as he instantly caught up to the Kirin.

Kirin body shimmer with lightning as it moves away but its eyes widen when it saw the human following next to it.

Kirin and Tang Wulin both being coated in their aura started to clash with each other.

'Amazing. I never thought there would be someone in this world. That is lower than spirit rank 50 that could keep up with Kirin.' Zhao Jiu thought as watch the unforgettable fighting happening before him.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Kirin horn was enveloped with lightning as it formed a massive lightning lance.

Kirin then dashed straight to Tang Wulin who stop too and dash straight at Kirin with his fist.

BOOM!

Their fierce clash caused the whole mountain to shake, as the wind picks up and the area around them to be smashed apart. The lightning of Kirin and the energy of Tang Wulin refuse to give an inch as both users were unwilling to yield.

BOOM!

An explosion occurs as both combatants were sent flying into the wall behind them. Kirin roared as multiple bolts of lighting went straight for Tang Wulin, who ignored them and dash toward Kirin again.

Kirin dashes toward Tang Wulin, both of them clashing as they move down the mountain. Tang Wulin duck under Kirin lightning lance as he sent a kick toward its chest and sending it flying through one of the cherry blossom trees.

Tang Wulin raised his arms as the sky was instantly filled with over a thousand energy flares. Then he swung them all down as the flares started to chase after Kirin who started to dash away.

The attacks were causing so much havoc on the mountain as Kirin was dodging all of them skillfully.

Tang Wulin appeared next to Kirin while it was busy evading the flares and sent it flying with an uppercut.

The storm in the sky rumble as a lightning bolt came striking down and hit Kirin as it was flying, causing it to disappear.

Tang Wulin glared at the fierce storm as he waited for the attack. The storm started turning faster before, as the cloud turned a brilliant red and then a bolt came down.

The bolt was a red spear of electricity that came straight down to one of the hills and then started to dash around Tang Wulin.

A red electric tornado started to form, as Kirin was moving all around. Tang Wulin didn't move as he observes the tornado of lightning forming around him.

Then Kirin disappeared in a flash of light, before instantly appearing in front of Tang Wulin with its horn pointed at him.

Tang Wulin leg shot up as he went for a kick that was bending space around the area. The blistering speed of the lightning spear became null as the bending of space cause Tang Wulin feet to make contact with Kirin.

Kirin was fighting for dominance as it employed all of its power to overpower Tang Wulin kick. Tang Wulin glared at Kirin and then roar as he exerted his full power to overpower Kirin lightning spear.

His foot slammed straight through all the electricity and into Kirin chest propelling it into the mountain. Kirin body plowed straight up the mountain from the lower levels up to the middle and then it stops with a bang.

BANG!

Then another lightning bolt slams down on the area where Kirin was launch into. Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes, as he saw the storm begin to compress in the center.

He saw all of the lightning being focus into the center and then saw Kirin with its horn up, while the lightning was being compressed.

Kirin then roars as it surrounds itself with the lightning and creating a giant sphere of red electricity.

Then the sphere headed directly for Tang Wulin who merely continue to glare at it but made no movement.

As it was approaching him he clenches his fist and then thrust his fist with all of his might as it made contact with Kirin sphere of lightning.

His fist smashed right through the sphere of lightning and connected with Kirin face. Tang Wulin roar as his fist went through Kirin brain and sent Kirin flying.

Kirin body went straight back into the storm and blew it away from the force accompanying its body.

Tang Wulin stomp on the ground and roar to the world, as Kirin mangled body was falling down from the sky. It body smashed right in front of Tang Wulin, while Zhao Jiu and Zeref were looking in amazement.

'Amazing.' Thought Zhao Jiu.

'This is the power of Dragon Force the final, most powerful state a Dragon Slayer can attain. Granting them power comparable to that which a real Dragon possesses. The power to obliterate everything.' Zere Thought as he witnesses the end of the battle.

'Not only that. It seems Acnologia also siphon power from the Golden Dragon King and infused it into his dragon force.' Zeref was absolutely stunned by Acnologia.

Tang Wulin body swayed and began falling down but he punches his fist into the ground to keep himself up.

His wound that he got from the lightning still hasn't healed, as he started coughing up blood. He looks toward the destroyed Kirin body and saw a black spirit ring.

'Might as well.' Thought Tang Wulin, as he begins walking over to Kirin body. Tang Wulin started to absorb the ring of Kirin, as he could feel the will of Kirin appearing.

Lightning started to appear around his body and in his spiritual world, he can feel the Kirin trying to rampage.

'Kneel!' Tang Wulin roared as his Golden and Black dragon appeared to subdue the pony. Once they cause the pony to submit, he felt his burn all over as the Kirin started to change in front of him.

Kirin started gaining golden scales on its body and with gold lightning surrounding its body. Kirin roared as blue and golden lighting started to shine around it.

While Tang Wulin was doing, Zeref was watching over him and he shifts his head to see Zhao Jiu coming.

"Unbelievable." Said Zhao Jiu as he was assessing the damage that Tang Wulin and Kirin caused. The whole mountain was filled with holes, destroyed trees, and crumbling hills.

Zhao Jiu mind was still wrapping around the fight he just witnesses. Whether it be Tang Wulin stopping Kirin lightning spear attack, Kirin transformation or Tang Wulin transformation.

'Once both of them transformed and started doing battle, it felt like I was witnessing the battle of gods.' Zhao Jiu thought as he remembers the shockwave of the duo's attack. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the mountain as some of its beauty may have just been destroyed.

Zhao Jiu subsequently turned to Tang Wulin as he was absorbing the spirit ring of the Kirin.

He wonders if Tang Wulin can absorb it, considering the fight he just had and it didn't seem that transformation fully healed him.

'Well, I guess I will wait and see.' Zhao Jiu thought as he sat down next to Tang Wulin as he was absorbing the spirit ring.

'Still, I wonder Kirin body is too damage for any use.' Zhao Jiu thought as he examines the remains of Kirin mangled and destroyed body.

Tang Wulin breakthrough through but the energy didn't stop going as it on for a while.

After a while, Tang Wulin opened his eyes and saw Zhao Jiu sitting down next to him. Zhao Jiu smiled when he saw Tang Wulin was ok.

"So you were able Kirin ring without any trouble right?" Asked Zhao Jiu.

"There was no problem." Said Tang Wulin.

"How old was the Kirin?" Asked Zhao Jiu.

"It was seventy thousand years old one." Tang Wulin replied.

"A seventy thousand years one huh?"Asked Zhao Jiu.

"Now, its time for me to go grab the herb." Said Tang Wulin, as he waited for Zhao Jiu to stand up and follow him up the mountain.

This surprised Zhao Jiu but it wasn't hard to understand considering what they experienced for the past few days.

They both saw the damages from the battle and the small spirit beast running all around. It only took them ten minutes till they reach the top of the mountain.

"There it's. The herb that you wanted."Said Zhao Jiu. Tang Wulin nodded his head, as he saw a pink flower surrounded by other herbs.

Tang Wulin begins moving towards it causing Zhao Jiu to tell him to be careful. Tang Wulin could feel the pressure hitting his body, but he didn't stop moving. It took him a while before he was able to reach the herbs.

'Alright, so this is the herb.' Tang Wulin thought as he picks up it up. Old Tang voice rang out as Tang Wulin held the herb.

'If you eat that herb, it's possible for you to open up the eighth dragon seal.' Said Old Tang. Tang Wulin eyes sparkle as he begins to smile.

"Acnologia, that herbs are for Zhou Shi remember." Zeref said as he tried to persuade him to not eat it.

'Let me see, do I care about their opinions? Nah!" Tang Wulin threw the herb in his mouth and started to break the next seal. Zhao Jiu was surprised that Tang Wulin ate the herb just like that without any preparation.

After a while, he could feel his body becoming stronger as the broken seal started to nourish his body. Tang Wulin opened his eyes, as he was inside his spiritual world, he then turns to Old Tang.

"Congratulations on breaking the eighth seal. What you got was your 4th golden ring and Golden Dragon Rage Domain. As the name suggests it is a domain ability which grants friendly forces inside the Golden Dragon King bloodline's addition of one-third elevation to the potency of their attack and defense. While you also increase your strength, defense and attack energies by double."

"But in exchange, you will go into a rage induce state." Said Old Tang. Tang Wulin grimace at the mention of a rage induce state but then nodded.

"Also, you should be careful when you use that transformation you did." Said Old Tang.

"Why?" Asked Tang Wulin.

"The fusion of your Dragonslayer powers and the Golden Dragon King can produce an almost unstoppable power but do remember both of your powers can induce madness within you. If you didn't unseal as many of the dragon seals you had before, you would have gone on a rampage and destroy the mountain." Said Old Tang, causing Tang Wulin to grimace.

He forgot that the Golden Dragon King is also able to induce rage and madness onto him.

'Just great. Both of my dragon related powers can drive me to insanity.' Tang Wulin thought dryly.

Zeref nodded his head, as he was wondering what would happen if they combine. Tang Wulin begins walking to Space Between Time to eat some of it and then leave.

Tang Wulin opens his eyes, as he felt his body become stronger and lighter. He turns his head to the big cherry blossom tree that was behind the herbs and then looks downwards off the peak.

"I guess it times for us to go to Bright City." Said Zeref. Tang Wulin had to admit, this mountain has a nice view. He sees a train that wasn't moving with smoking coming out of it. He turned around to Zhao Jiu who was staring at him.

"My name is Tang Wulin." Said Tang Wulin. Zhao Jiu blinks in surprise at Tang Wulin words and he then remembers a few days he asked for his name.

"Bye." Said Tang Wulin, as two wings sprouted from his back and he disappears instantly.

A lady who looked to be in her late twenties. Although she wasn't particularly beautiful, she did have a dignified air around her. She was trembling with tears down her face as she is staring at the man in front of her.

A short, ashen-robed man stood in the center of the carriage. There were dead bodies around him as he calmly stood in the puddle of blood. The man was staring at her coldly at her as he begins speaking.

"All this could have been avoided if you just listen." Said Ashen-robed man with haunting green eyes was looking down the lady like she was an ant.

The man shook his head, as he started walking toward the lady but then. He then heard a crackling sound then a flash of light shine behind him causing him to turn around.

The lady and the ashen-robed man blink in surprise when they saw a charming youth who was clothing looked burned and the lower half of his pants gone. Behind the youth was a pair of wings that were trembling with lightning and his whole body had blue sparks around him.

"Wh-." Before the Ashen-robed man could finish his words, he heard the sounds of lightning crackling and then saw the youth disappeared in front of him.

He heard the lady gasp behind him and then he turned to see the youth, without any of his power activated. Before he could say anything he started coughing up blood as he drops down the floor and his eyes widen.

His whole chest area was pierced open, with his heart being destroyed. He slowly looks up at the youth and then begins to fall. His whole face was showing with a look of shock and regret.

The youth in question turns to the lady who was still in shock from what just happened.

"Up ahead is a city right?" Said the youth. The lady just nodded her head, as youth begin to walk ahead toward the city.

The lady kept looking back at the youth back and the ashen-robe man who was bleeding out while thinking.

'What the hell just happened.'
