Thunder God's Reincarnation

Chapter 261

Having successfully repelled the Fire of Sun, Mu-Gun wasted no time and swiftly unleashed the Infinite Thunder Sword. A streak of thunder qi, emanating from his hand, darted towards Carcion, who was soaring in the sky. Without affording Carcion any time to react, the thunder qi swiftly plunged into Carcion's neck.

The sturdy scales of the Dragon proved as fragile as paper, torn apart effortlessly as the Infinite Thunder Sword pierced through Carcion's neck and emerged on the other side. Carcion, with his neck impaled by the Infinite Thunder Sword, gazed downward at Mu-Gun in disbelief.

Mu-Gun pressed on without hesitation, swinging the Infinite Thunder Swordstill embedded in Carcion's neckwith all his might. The sword descended, slicing through Carcion's massive body. Carcion soared upward with all his might, screaming in agony as the Infinite Thunder Sword cleaved through him, threatening to split his colossal form in two.

Pulling forcefully, Mu-Gun extracted the Infinite Thunder Sword, which was slicing through Carcion's colossal form, causing a gush of blood. Despite Carcion's attempt to ascend into the sky, the wound from his neck down to his chest impaired his flight, causing him to fall.

-Regeneration!

Despite enduring excruciating pain while falling, Carcion remained conscious and invoked the ultimate regeneration magic. The wounds, cleaved open by the Infinite Thunder Sword, began rapidly regenerating.

No, you dont!

Without wasting a moment, Mu-Gun ascended to the top of Carcion's head, thrusting a Thunderbolt Sword toward the wounded Dragon's forehead. Despite Carcion's attempt to shake Mu-Gun off, the swift movement of the sword outpaced the Dragon's efforts. A golden Thunderbolt Sword punctured Carcion's forehead.

The Thunderbolt Sword rapidly expanded in size, akin to Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang, [1] completely piercing through Carcion's forehead.

This wasnt the end. The Thunderbolt Sword embedded in Carcion's forehead unleashed a torrent of lightning, electrifying its head. Carcion, overwhelmed by the surging electricity, lost consciousness, enduring the sensation of hundreds and thousands of lightning strikes inside its head.

Carcion's colossal body descended helplessly to the ground. The impact of his more than sixty-meter form hitting the earth caused a tremor for thousands of meters, resembling the aftermath of an earthquake.

Descending from the sky alongside Carcion, Mu-Gun swung the Infinite Thunder Sword, now extending to tens of meters in length, at Carcion's neck. In a single stroke, the Infinite Thunder Sword severed Carcion's neck.

Carcion was decapitated, and blood splattered in various directions, soaking the ground. No matter how resilient a Dragon was, it could not survive being decapitated.

Ensuring Carcion's death, Mu-Gun shifted his focus to the ongoing battle between the two Spirit Kings and the two Dragons. The confrontation was so evenly matched that neither side seemed capable of gaining the upper hand.

While the defeat of Carcion could be seen as a positive turn, the reality was starkly different. Mu-Gun's power was depleting rapidly, and time was of the essence. If the battle wasn't concluded swiftly, the Spirit Kings might be recalled to the Spirit Realm, leaving Mu-Gun vulnerable to the Dragons' attacks. The urgency to conclude the battle heightened.

Mu-Gun swiftly invoked the Thunder God's Shadow, positioning himself above Calious, who was engaged with Eladium. Without delay, he unleashed a barrage of countless Thunderbolt Swords aimed at Calious' head.

Even while engaged with Eladium, Calious managed to confirm Carcion's defeat. Anticipating Mu-Gun's potential attack on either itself or Calderoon, it vigilantly monitored Mu-Gun's movements. As soon as it noticed Mu-Gun positioned above, unleashing a barrage of Thunderbolt Swords towards its head, Calious swiftly descended, skillfully evading Mu-Gun's onslaught.

However, there was something he did not expect. It was the fact that Mu-Guns Thunderbolt Swords were increasing in number limitlessly. The countless Thunderbolt Swords unleashed by Mu-Gun quickly increased in numbers, chasing after Calious who was dropping downwards.

Caught off guard, Calious attempted to evade by shifting to the side. However, seemingly anticipating this move, Eladium's ice storm surged from both sides, closing off any escape route.

-Unbroken Shield!

In a desperate attempt, Calious hastily invoked an absolute defense magic upon its massive bodya shield that was deemed unbreakable. A blue barrier swiftly enveloped Calious, yet, before the shield could fully form, the onslaught of countless Thunderbolt Swords descended. The Unbroken Shield, ironically named, shattered with astonishing ease, casting a shadow on its supposed invincibility.

The countless Thunderbolt Swords, breaking through the shattered remnants of the Unbroken Shield, burrowed into Calious' head, their numbers continuing to multiply. Innumerable Thunderbolt Swords penetrated the crimson scales that adorned Calious' head, delving deep into its skull.

Yet, the relentless assault persisted. The countless Thunderbolt Swords not only penetrated Calious' head but also emerged from its chin. Emitting a powerful surge of lightning, the Thunderbolt Swords thoroughly seared and fried Calious' head.

Overwhelmed by the impact, Calious lost consciousness and soon began to fall. Calious faced a disastrous end as it fell headfirst and its head shattered like a watermelon the moment it crashed into the ground, the neck bending under the force of the impact.

After killing Calious, Mu-Gun immediately unsummoned Eladium and moved toward Calderoon. If he had fought together with the Ice Spirit King Eladium, they would have been able to defeat Calderoon with much ease.

Despite the strategic advantage, Mu-Gun hurriedly unsummoned Eladium, acutely aware that his internal energy was perilously low. As Eladium vanished, the rapid depletion of Mu-Gun's internal energy, akin to water pouring through a sieve, noticeably halted, allowing for a momentary recovery.

Regaining composure, Mu-Gun advanced towards Calderoon with a sense of control. Meanwhile, Calderoon grew increasingly anxious witnessing the defeat of Calious following Carcion. Realizing that facing Mu-Gun and the two Spirit Kings alone was a futile endeavor, Calderoon confronted the grim reality that persisting in the battle would lead to its demise, much like its fallen companions.

Observing Mu-Gun dismissing the Ice Spirit King Eladium, Calderoon acknowledged that the situation remained unchanged. Persisting in the current battle would only result in a futile demise for Calderoon. Having endured a millennium trapped in the Dragon Mountain Range, Calderoon harbored no intention of meeting an inglorious end in this manner.

In a bid to preserve its life, Calderoon unleashed the Dragon of Fire spell at the Wind Spirit King Nervatum and swiftly veered in the opposite direction. Nervatum, attempting to pursue Calderoon, found himself compelled to deal with the nine fire dragons threatening him first.

Additionally, Calderoon couldn't evade another pursuerMu-Gun. As anticipated, Mu-Gun positioned himself, obstructing Calderoon's escape route. Acknowledging Mu-Gun's intervention, Nervatum redirected his attention to quelling the onslaught of the nine dragons rampaging at him.

In a quick response to Mu-Gun blocking its escape route, Calderoon, flying in the opposite direction after eluding Nervatum, immediately unleashed a Flame Breath. The fiery onslaught, accompanied by intense heat, surged toward Mu-Gun, shrouded in a cascade of lightning.

Activating the Thunder God's Aerial Steps and the Thunder God's Shadow, Mu-Gun skillfully evaded the Flame Breath and closed the distance above Calderoon's head. Swiftly, he thrust a Thunderbolt Sword towards Calderoon's forehead, aiming to deliver a decisive blow.

Reacting swiftly, Calderoon leaned backward and retaliated against Mu-Gun by generating a powerful wind pressure with its colossal wings. The resulting gust, unleashed by Calderoon's wings, enveloped Mu-Gun. Overwhelmed by the tremendous force, Mu-Gun was propelled backward and sent flying by the impact.

Despite the momentary setback, Mu-Gun swiftly transformed into a streak of lightning, reemerging above Calderoon's head. As Calderoon pivoted its body and swung its tail at Mu-Gun, he countered by wielding a Thunderbolt Sword, intercepting the oncoming tail.

The Thunderbolt Sword easily severed Calderoon's tail upon collision, causing Calderoon to momentarily lose balance and spiral in the air. Seizing the opportunity, Mu-Gun pursued Calderoon and descended, thrusting another Thunderbolt Sword downward.

The Thunderbolt Sword extended to a terrifying length, piercing deeply into Calderoon's torso. Mu-Gun skillfully maneuvered the Thunderbolt Sword sideways, carving a long arc through Calderoon's midsection. A surge of lightning emanated in all directions as the sword cleaved through. Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain of a split torso and the internal frying from the lightning, Calderoon struggled to regain composure.

Compounding Calderoon's plight, Nervatum, having dealt with the nine fire dragons, executed a powerful swing with a wind sword aimed at Calderoon's neck. Struck by the high-speed rotating wind sword, Calderoon's neck was severed, resulting in its headless descent to the ground. The impact upon landing wreaked havoc, devastating the surrounding land for hundreds of meters.

-Anymore and it will be an overstretch. I will go back now.

Sensing Mu-Gun's imminent energy depletion, Nervatum voluntarily retreated to the Spirit Realm. With Nervatum unsummoned, Mu-Gun's energy, no longer rapidly dwindling, began to replenish as it surged in from the surrounding nature.

Allowing himself a moment to catch his breath, Mu-Gun waited for his internal energy to recuperate. Once his energy had reached a sufficient level, Mu-Gun descended back to the devastated ground, where the fallen Dragons lay in ruin.

Mu-Gun proceeded to collect the Mana Hearts from the fallen Dragons. Distinguished as Dragon Hearts, these Mana Hearts possessed a qualitative difference from those of Drakes or Wyverns. Each Dragon Heart held an energy accumulation spanning a thousand years.

Having gathered the Mana Hearts from all three Red Dragons, Mu-Gun contemplated the uncertain future. Although the Red Dragons had initially rejected his proposition and posed a threat, the response of other Dragon clans remained uncertain, leaving Mu-Gun to ponder the potential outcomes.

Contemplating the possibilities, Mu-Gun considered that other Dragon clans might adopt a hostile stance against the Gods, perceiving him as a representative of the Gods, much like the Red Dragons. Conversely, there was the hope that they might reflect on their past transgressions and choose to combat the Demon God to atone for their crimes. While Mu-Gun wished for the latter scenario, he acknowledged the necessity of preparing for the former possibility.

Mu-Gun had clearly realized the Dragons strength through his fight against the Red Dragons. If there had been just one more Dragon during the previous confrontation, the outcome could have been different

I have to at least be able to summon all four Spirit Kings.

Mu-Gun decided that it was important to raise his energy so that it would be sufficient to summon all four Spirit Kings before meeting another Dragon clan.

I should absorb the Dragons Mana Hearts.

To initiate this energy reinforcement, Mu-Gun resolved to absorb the Mana Hearts from the Dragons he had triumphed over. Recognizing the unique qualities of a Dragon's Mana Heart, Mu-Gun understood that it not only enhanced his internal energy but also harbored the divine essence bestowed upon Dragons by the Dragon God Bracant. Absorbing a Dragon's Mana Heart would grant him access to their divinity.

With the Dragons' Mana Hearts in his possession, Mu-Gun departed from God's boundary. Recognizing the substantial amount of time required for the absorption of a Dragon's Mana Heart, Mu-Gun decided it would be unwise to stay within God's boundary during this process. The risk of encountering another Dragon before completing the absorption and being overpowered was a scenario he sought to avoid.

Ensuring he was beyond the Dragons' reach, Mu-Gun exited God's boundary to absorb the Mana Hearts in safety. Once outside, he discovered a naturally formed cave and began to absorb the Dragons' Mana Hearts.

The energy within the Dragons' Mana Hearts carried a divine essence. Possessing divinity equated to having a high-dimensional mind. The energy, rich with this elevated consciousness, entered into a conflict with Mu-Gun's mind. Rather than harmonizing with Mu-Gun's consciousness, it sought to assert dominance over him.

Had Mu-Gun lacked divinity, the energy from the Dragon Hearts might have overwhelmed and consumed him. Fortunately, Mu-Gun already harbored divinitymore specifically, the divinity of two paramount beings: the Sky God Yupir and the Spirit God Vahara. This formidable power far surpassed the divinity of the Dragon God Bracant, which had already faded from existence.

Confronted by the supremacy of Mu-Gun's divinity, the energy within the Dragon Hearts capitulated. Succumbing to Mu-Gun's divine influence, this energy swiftly began to be absorbed into Mu-Gun's Origin Spirit.
