Spectral Regalia

Ch 81: Three Lessons Learnt

Despite blocking one blow, the force of the punch sent a small shock wave that was felt throughout the entire room, causing everyone watching to take a step back after. They were lucky enough to not be on the side that the wind blades had shot towards.

"Everyone, step back!" Felia called out as they retreated back several dozen meters. "-Avrin, can you really defeat that monster?-" Felia reluctantly thought in her head. Avrin didn't hesitate to act after blocking that fist. He knew that if it got him down like it's brother had, it would be devastating for him.

Emitting Nebula Mist into the area from his body, the Draconian was already preparing to strike again, pressing it's hands together and smashing towards Avrin. "Shadow Pillar!" He uttered out, using the Nebula Mist to form a Shadow Pillar in front of him that shot towards the Draconian.

With the two forces colliding, the Shadow Pillar cracked and shattered, but it negated the attack as the room shook again from the force of the attack of the Draconian. Avrin quickly gained his balance and jumped out, not hesitating to gather more Nebula Mist from the mana around him.

"-Not good. I can only barely hold off against him with this form-" The Draconian stood up and laughed. "I'm having a lot of fun, demon... Entertain me a little bit more.." Avrin's face darkened a little. "-No choice... This is something I have no hand in-"

The space around Avrin distorted slightly, as strange glowing balls of light in all sorts of colors were seemingly ripped out of thin air. The Draconian's eyes gazed with caution.

"-How is he utilizing mana in such a way?.. Is he a mage of sorts? What dark magic is he using?-" Unsure of what Avrin was doing, the Draconian dashed towards him, it's large, beast-like foot crushing the ground underneath it as it made a dash towards him.

"Grn!..." Avrin felt a slight change in his body, as his skin darkened even more while his body seemed to change and grow a little while his fingers grew claw-like nails, his hair turning from silver to a deep purple as dark matter coursed through it.

"-W..Why does it hurt... Haven't I used this before?..-" Avrin thought, coughing slightly. Unaware that the reason he was experiencing pain was due to his particles evolving, and changing his form had also changed and grew stronger than his past form, requiring his body to get used to it again.

"-Still...I can still go further, but..-" Gazing at the Draconian, who seemed to slow down enough for Avrin to see it clearly, he grinned before he dashed with frightening speed toward the Draconian, before his hand skimmed across the air as if he had tore into space. He grabbed a handful of darkened Nebula Mist before smashing towards the Draconian's fist with his own.

The force of the attack caused Avrin to blow back several dozen meters, as his bones shook significantly. He felt his organs ripple somewhat. The Draconian, who was blown back 2 meters, felt it's fist was quite sore. It looked at Avrin with shock.

"-This power?...How did he get so strong?... What dangerous magic... I should finish him-" Clovis stood, up watching it all happen. "Incredible... Was... Was he holding back against me?.... Just how strong is he?..."

Kael watched with a wide smile on his face. "Master Avrin is incredible... I'm sure he can defeat the Draconian.." Felia, although happy that Avrin was putting up a better fight against the Draconian, was still worried inwardly. "-Could he have really been a demon?...-"

The Draconian gazed at it's sore fist and laughed quietly. "You're quite surprising.... Yet you are only worthy enough for me to show you my abilities.." The Draconian's body soon radiated a yellow glow, before it punched its fist into the ground, causing a large chunk to churn towards Avrin at a rapid speed.
