Chapter 181: A Worthy Opponent(2)



Chapter 181: A Worthy Opponent(2)

High in the sky above the harbor, the air was filled with the clashing of steel and the flapping of wings. The shining light of the Emperor's aura as he continued to fend off attack after attack from Tam continued to dim, even his ridiculous mana reserves were beginning to take a hit.

Tam continued to fly circles around him, keeping him constantly on the defensive, for someone who was so used to always being far faster than his opponents, this was unfamiliar territory.

But the Emperor held on, he knew that by now, word would have reached the Storm Generals that the capital had been attacked, and they would surely be speeding back to Aznur, their elite warriors in tow. 

All he had to do was to hold the invaders off long enough for his reinforcements to arrive, by then, the Ursten forces would be tired and weary, and it would be the perfect time for the Imperial forces to swoop in and decimate them. 

It was this thought that kept the Emperor fighting on, doing his best to whittle away at Tam's defenses, rather than retreating behind the shining outer wall which he knew would hold against even the fiercest offense.

Below, Boson and the mighty fighter from the Arena marched toward each other, both of them ignoring the rest of the battlefield. The fighter from the Arena ignored the stairs, leaping straight down, sending a shower of rubble and dust as the ground exploded when he landed. 

The two enormous behemoths stampeded toward each other, an extremely faint green glow beginning to surround Boson as he charged toward the middle part of the 'U' of the harbor.

"Come! My axe shall rend your head from your body!" Boson roared, the glow around him increasing slightly, unwittingly in the heat of the moment, Boson was beginning to exert his domain and form his very own unique Aura Spell, the hallmark of one who was in the Advanced realm. 

"Raaaaarrgghhhh!" The fighter howled from behind his banshee mask, sparks swirling all around him, a red glow spreading out over his body, it seemed that the pair of them were both well on their way into the Advanced realm.

The sheer pressure both the warriors exuded on the mana of those surrounding them meant that the troops between them thinned out, rapidly forming an empty circle on the docks, an amorous warrior on either side.

They charged toward each other, the green glow growing brighter and brighter around Boson's axe, as he picked up speed, slowly swinging the axe, spinning it faster and faster as he ran toward the enormous Arena fighter.

As for the Arena fighter, he pulled his steel spear back, readying for a stab, flames beginning burn all around him, his entire upper body becoming covered in fierce flames, but with the flames focused on the wedge shaped head of the spear. 

Anteris, easily striding through the Imperial ranks, his halberd rising and failing, taking out multiple Imperial Soldiers with each blow, felt the enormous surge of mana and looked to the right, eyes widening at the sight of the two enormous warriors about to slam into one another. 

Boson's axe had gathered a ridiculous amount of momentum, and spun in his hands as if it were light as a feather, and the flames around the Arena fighter burned so fiercely that his upper half had formed into a mass of flame, only the front half of the spear visible, emerging from the flames. 

The Arena fighter stabbed out, all the flames rushing toward the tip of the axe, forming an enormous spear that thrust out at Boson, who swung his enormous double bladed axe with insane speed, the glowing green aura around the axe slamming into the enormous spear flames. 

"Boom!" A massive explosion rocked the entire harbor, even the ground shaking from the impact, massive waves sloshing in the harbor from the shockwave. All the soldiers nearby had been sent sprawling to the ground. 

The two goliaths' attacks had sliced clean through the others, their heavy weapons clashing against each other directly, the vibrations spreading through the weapons and into the arms. 

"What a way to get started!" Boson grinned savagely, leaping back to put some distance between then, twirling his axe between his hands once again. 

The Arena fighter only grunted in response, flames burning all over his upper body, once again. Green and red aura's formed around the both of them once again, as they prepared for another clash. 

While their leader clashed with Boson, the rest of the Arena fighters flowed down into the docks, splitting in half and moving to reinforce the forces to either side, 

These fighters were no cannon fodder, amongst them were skilled Warriors, Mages and Thieves, and it showed.

As soon as they joined the battle, sending spells flying through the air, the tide of the battle immediately evened, the Arena Mages offering some resistance against the Mage Unit, joined by a multitude of Warriors that pressured them. 

Anteris had become distracted, taking on three Arena fighters on his own, holding them at bay while his attention was directed toward the battle unfolding between Boson and the Arena fighter. 

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The two titans clashed again and again, each of them sending powerful attacks that would pulverize anybody else, receiving them with their own powerful blows. 

The shockwaves from the blows meant that by now the circle around the pair of them had grown wider and wider, soldiers on either side of the battle were not interested in being knocked down by the shockwaves.

Cracks began to form in the Arena fighter;'s heavy breastplate and helmet, while both pieces were sturdy, they were ill-suited to the intense blows that were being exchanged between Boson and the Arena fighter.

The banshee on the Arena fighter's helm began to crack apart, and pieces fell as he continued to exchange blows with Boson. 

A large piece fell off, and Anteris' eyes widened in recognition, and he opened his mouth to yell out.
