Spectral Regalia

Ch 79: Flash Of Anger

Jumping up towards the Draconian, Avrin grinned under his bloodied mask, as his face twisted slightly, before kneeing the creature in the jaw with as much strength as he could muster with one jump. The Draconian felt a surge of pain, as its brain and skull rattled slightly. Its jaw dislocated as it stumbled back in a daze.

Avrin landed softly on the ground as he rubbed his knee. "Your body...it's surprisingly harder than your brother's... Why didn't you help him? You and him could have made it tougher for me if you worked together..."

The Draconian slowly recovered from its daze, as it managed to finally overpower the dark matter with its mana. It reached up with its large hand and twisted it's jaw. The sound of bones cracking slightly was heard as it's jaw was soon placed back into its position.

It seemed unfazed, which made Avrin somewhat disappointed, but he knew he could injure it. "The great one's law... Only one of us Half bloods may be present in any battle chamber... We may not act until intruders come to our room..."

Avrin raised his brow curiously. "Interesting... Why would this great one set this ru-" The Draconian dared not give Avrin time to rest, as it knew he had some sort of healing ability. It emitted it's terrifying killing intent as it smashed down towards Avrin.

Avrin chuckled in a pouty way as he jumped back, avoiding the attack. But the ground wasn't so lucky, as it smashed and split under the creature's blow with debris flying around. "Can't we talk things through? " Avrin raised his hands in a calming gesture.

But the Draconian seemed to have taken this as an insult, as its eyes narrowed. "I'm done toying with you.... Your friends will be here soon...and I need your corpse to welcome them..." The Draconian reached behind it's back and took the hammer that was hanging around a strap that went around it's body.

Avrin felt a spine tingling threat. "-That hammer... If I get hit by that, it won't fare well for me...-" The Draconian took a deep breath, before it's body radiated an intense amount of mana that shook the room and engulfed all around it.

The hammer seemed to respond by radiating a dark mana that matched the intensity of the Draconian. "Void Greatsword..." Avrin said, raising his right hand. A large amount of dark matter surged down his arm before forming a large greatsword that seemed similar to the Void Sword, but had a thicker, more menacing edge, as it also radiated energy.

The Draconian charged towards Avrin. With each step it shook the chamber, before reaching near Avrin it gave a casual swing towards him.

Avrin also swung the great sword with both hands towards the hammer, and as the two weapons collided, a pulse of energy caused the metallic tiles to crack and the walls to twist. Kael, who was frightened to death on the other side of the door, could only pant heavily from fear at the rumbling sounds. Although he wasn't skilled, the energy and mana dispensed by the attacks and the Draconian was enough for him to feel that the battle was intense.

"Master....forgive me... I'm so useless.... I'm useless!" Kael uttered helplessly as the two combatants battled for supremacy. It was obvious Avrin's greatsword was weaker, as cracks had begun to form. He had to emit Nebula Mist to heal it. But the Draconian snickered before roaring out. "Earth Shaker!" The hammer emitted a menacing dark affinity mana before it seemed to form a manifestation of energy that soon crushed towards the greatsword, effortlessly shattering it and smashing against Avrin.

Seeing the mana of the hammer form, Avrin wasn't dumb enough to take it head on. He knew his sword couldn't withstand it, and he willed the Nebula Mist to form a Shadow Wall, managing to create one at the right moment.

The hammer smashed against the wall, also shattering that, but losing a majority of the force before it hit towards Avrin, who crossed his arms to block. The force was enough to blow him back several meters and break some bones in his arms, as well as dent the metal in his gauntlets.
