Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 72: Purple Energy

Tang Yun and Xia Yan both charged toward Nergigante who was getting up from the rubble. Nergigante saw them coming and swung down his brawny arm, to generate an enormous wind and sending them flying.

Nergigante then dashed toward Xia Yan, who he perceives as the biggest threat and thrust out his fist toward him. Tang Yun saw that Nergigante fist was about to make contact with Xia Yan, twisted his body and a spectral hammer appeared around his foot.

BANG

Tang Yun smashes the hammer into Nergigante outstretched arm and redirecting it away from Xia Yan.

Xia Yan took the time to pull Nergigante toward him causing Nergigante enormous body to jerk forward and then Tang Yun appeared in front of him.

A spectral hammer appeared in Tang Yun hand as he rams it into Nergigante but it didn't send him flying. Nergigante was fiercely resisting the force of Tang Yun hammer with his head and then started to push Tang Yun back with each step he took forward.

'Unbelievable.' Thought Tang Yun with a wry smile.

Lucky Xia Yan was with Tang Yun, as he activated his gravity control which caused Nergigante body to be pulled down from the pressure.

Then Xia Yan punch thrust out his fist and hit the back of Tang Yun hammer, giving it the force it needed to send Nergigante flying this time.

Nergigante got up from the rubble as spikes start to sprout up around his body. With one big roar, he charges back toward Xia Yun and Tang Yun who both had a frown on their face.

'Are we even doing any damage to this guy?' Thought Xia Yan.

"Hahaha. I knew he was tough, but this is just ridiculous." Said Tang Yun with a smile on his face.

Xia Yan could only sigh at his brother Yun cheerful expression, even in a situation like this. Ever since he knew Tang Yun, he was rarely without a smile on his face.

It was honestly that smile that gave hope to the Spirit Elder and the people in the base that things will get better.

"Let's go, Brother Yun." Said Xia Yan, as a smile started to show up on his face.

"Right!" Said Tang Yun, as they both charged toward Nergigante.

Nergigante narrowed its eyes as he saw both of them charging toward him too. Tang Yun made two mini spectral hammers in his hand and then Xia Yan suddenly pour his aura around the hammers.

'They're heavier now.' Thought Tang Yun as he saw the purple energy around his hammer. A full-blown grin came upon his face as he furiously swung his hammer toward Nergigante.

"Cover me, Brother Yan."

"Alright."

Nergigante threw a fist toward the mini hammer. He was eagerly expecting for the mini-hammers to instantly break with his superior strength and spikes as it made contact.

Bang!

Nergigante eyes widen as not only did the hammer not get smashed to smithereens. But Tang Yun was still clashing with him in a fierce battle of strength as he saw his fist and hammer pushing against each other.

'Damn.' Thought Tang Yun as he could feel his vein swelling up and burning from just clashing once with Nergigante.

"I undoubtedly am not your match alone huh? Well, it's a good thing I'm not alone." Said Tang Yun, causing Nergigante eyes to shift to the right.

It was precisely Xia Yan coming up on the fortified wall on his right. Nergigante tried to move his other fist to intercept him but Tang Yun roared as a slab of earth smashes into Nergigante face.

Nergigante was stun for just a moment, but that was enough for Xia Yan. As his fist already smashes into Nergigante face, which moved him and also frees up Tang Yun.

Tang Yun took this time to jump above Nergigante and while twisting his body, instantly summoned a huge spectral hammer.

"AHHHHHHH."

Tang Yun roared as he smashed down hard onto Nergigante and causing the floor to form cracks.

Next, Tang Yun turned his big hammer into two medium sizes hammer and landed on Nergigante with his foot on his chest.

Xia Yan watches as Tang Yun started to smash down on Nergigante with both of his hammers and he could have sworn each hit was stronger than last.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

The floor couldn't support the considerable force of Tang Yun blows on Nergigante body and in the end collapse. But Tang Yun wasn't done as he was falling he began to flip over and instantly summon another giant hammer in both of his hand.

"Brother Yan!"

"Right!"

Xia Yan was already jumping down behind Tang Yan and applied his gravity power on the hammer.

Then he smashes down on the backside of it and gave it more momentum to smash down into Nergigante.

They both watch as Nergigante body was plowing through the floors below them. Nergigante could feel the incredible amount of damage done toward him, and he was genuinely shocked.

'When was the last time, I felt this much pain. Not even when I fought other Spirit Beast did I get this damaged.' Thought Nergigante as his body stopped its decent, after smashing into one more hard floor.

It was then Nergigante eyes widen as he saw a purple light around him and then realize where he was.

'No!' Thought Nergigante in shock, as he could feel purple energy hungrily going into his body.

Meanwhile, Tang Yun and Xia Yan were still falling down toward where Nergigante was. They knew they had to at least finish him off, while he was still damaged.

"!"

Their eyes widen as their instincts scream at them to move away but it was too late. As two large hands grip their face and push them back up through the floors.

BANG!

Nergigante flew up through the hole and then threw the bodies he held in his hand, down to the floor. Xia Yan and Tang Yun blink their eyes as they started to stand up to see Nergigante but he was different.

Nergigante had a purple spark crackling merrily around him, with two mighty horns and spikes around his body glowing purple.

"Damn it, does he have another mode?" Said Xia Yan who a huge frown on his face.

"No... something is wrong." Said Tang Yun as he narrowed his eyes.

Tang Yun was held by Nergigante for a while now and he was able to get a good read on his behavior.

'Why isn't he mocking us or demolishing us right now?' Thought Tang Yun as he continued to stare at Nergigante who had his head down.

Nergigante raised his head, and Tang Yun saw his fierce eyes had a purple glow to it. Nergigante then roared out and then charged toward both of them.

"Crap! I think he lost his mind, be careful." Said Tang Yun.

Xia Yan nodded his head and summoned his gravity control onto Nergigante. Nergigante didn't even flinch as he began to plow through the gravity, causing Xia Yan eyes to widen.

'What! It's not affecting him anymore!' Thought Xia Yan in a dreadful fright.

Whether it was through predatory instinct or who attack him first, Nergigante was rushing toward Xia Yan. Tang Yun instantly appeared in front of Xia Yan and swung his spectral hammer toward Nergigante.

BANG!

Tang Yun eyes widen as he saw the purple energy around Nergigante disintegrating his hammer and Nergigante smashing into him. Tang Yun body was sent flying into Xia Yan who held out his arms to catch him but was also push back too.

Xia Yan held on to Tang Yun as they came skidding to a halt but then his eyes widen as he saw Nergigante appear behind him. Nergigante swung his fist down toward Xia Yun and Tang Yun as they turn their head.

Tang Yun and Xia Yan eyes widen when they saw a golden spear smashing into Nergigante. Nergigante body went skidding back at the unexpected attack.

"Alright, time to switch." A voice rang out.

Xia Yan shifted his head and saw Tang Wulin snatching the golden spear that was flipping in the air as he charges toward Nergigante.

Tang Wulin blatantly ignored everyone but Nergigante who was glaring fiercely at him. Tang Wulin saw Nergigante brandishing his fist toward him, but he didn't try to evade it.

Tang Wulin nimbly moved his Golden Dragon Spear toward the inner side of Nergigante fist and began deflecting it toward the side. Subsequently, he twisted his body while twirling his mighty spear and thrust out toward Nergigante who couldn't rebalance himself in time.

Bang!

A purple aura form in front of Nergigante before the spear made contact with him. Nergigante body was only sent skidding back, as he still glares at Tang Wulin in rage.

'Interesting.' Tang Wulin thought.

"Are you going to stop being an idiot." Zeref voice rang out but Tang Wulin disregard him.

As he dashes toward Nergigante who roars and went back to charging at him. Tang Wulin thrust out his spear toward Nergigante who leans cautiously to the side to avoid it and send his own fist toward Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin smirk as he quickly pushes off the foot he had planted on the ground back to avoid Nergigante oncoming fist. Then he jerks his arm back and making his spear graze the side of Nergigante face.

ROOOOAR!

'So, the purple energy doesn't guard him if he can't react or perceive the attack.' Thought Tang Wulin as he began to twirl his spear around.

Nergigante could feel the blood flowing down his face and roar with even more rage. But then the purple energy started to leak out from the cut and causing Nergigante to roar out in unbearable pain.

'Is that purple energy hurting him?' Thought Tang Wulin as he saw Nergigante spitting out some blood.

Tang Wulin eyes widen he saw the sparks around him were crackling fiercely. Nergigante raised one of its arms and slam down on the ground, sending a purple blade of purple energy towards Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin sidestep to the left but then he saw spikes coming toward him and lean back to avoid them. Nergigante uses this time to jump high up and dive down toward Tang Wulin who was recovering from leaning back.

Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes as he saw Nergigante coming toward him and hurled his spear toward him. The spear crashed into Nergigante as he was diving and was able to delay his dive, allowing Tang Wulin to properly recover his balance.

Next, he outstretched his hand, as his Golden Dragon Spear reappeared and then twisted his body while furiously swinging his spear. With all his might, he smashed his spear into Nergigante who was closing in toward Tang Wulin from his dive attack.

Nergigante body was sent flying through the walls and Tang Wulin dash after him. He threw up his spear and then with a jumping twist, kick it with all his might causing it to rocket toward Nergigante.

The spear easily caught up to Nergigante from the overwhelming force of Tang Wulin kick and clash with the purple energy that was formed around Nergigante body.

But not even it was able to stop the spear for long as it forcibly broke through the purple aura and pierce Nergigante body.

Tang Wulin was still chasing after Nergigante as he summoned his Golden Dragon Spear again and smashes it toward Nergigante once again. Nergigante body had already smashed into the wall but then that wall broke as a golden spear pierces through both Nergigante and it.

Once more the spear disappears from Nergigante body which had two gaping holes on it. Tang Wulin jump and with his full power kick down the spear, as it was aimed toward Nergigante head. He watches as the spear plow through Nergigante purple barrier and then through his head.

Nergigante couldn't even let out a cry as it died with a golden spear planted into his head. Tang Wulin shook his head as he began moving toward his Golden Dragon Spear.

'I wonder, why did that purple energy feel so familiar.' Thought Tang Wulin. As he was walking, he could hear the final cries of the Spirit Beast inside and the cheers of the human.

'I guess they slaughtered them all.' Thought Tang Wulin as he was getting closer to his spear.

Swoosh!

Tang Wulin eyes widen when he saw the purple energy crackling that was around Nergigante, leaping frantically towards him. He tried moving out of the way, but he felt his body freeze as green energy appeared from inside his body.

He watched as the life energy inside of him blew back and destroyed the purple energy that tried to assault him.

'What the hell.'
