Chapter 17.2: Chaos in Order

BOOM!

The mountaintop exploded as three gargantuan aurae burst into the sky, heralding a battle like no other.

Bzzt!!!

Dark clouds gathered overhead as three oppressive aurae burst into the skies. Dense mana and ki charged the atmosphere, rendering it thick and heavy. Peals of lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating the trio levitating in the air.

Razznik brandished his sword, a hard gaze leveled at the two opponents. Lucius was certainly not an easy foe by any means. The hybrid clearly took this seriously as he had adopted his werewolf form. Thick, snow-white white fur covered his back, abdomen, and sections of his arms and legs. Unlike other werewolves, however, his facial features did not alter much, preserving his calm, noble demeanor.

Zeno, on the other hand, adopted her draconian form. She grew a pair of beautiful purple wings and a deadly tail. A pair of curling horns on her forehead gave her a ferocious vibe boosted by a sardonic, toothy grin that screamed bloody murder.

Razznik did not pay any heed to their transformation. "I said co—"

"Watch me!" Zeno roared with excitement. She disappeared.

Razznik instantly shifted to the left and placed the flat of his blade on his right side. Bang! As expected, Zeno appeared at his right, a powerful right kick blocked by the blade. Zeno was not shocked by this block. Such a simple attack would never phase Razznik. As her leg bounced off the sword, her right hand, wrapped in pulsing dragon ki smashed down.

"Block this!" The dragon laughed.

"Too easy," Razznik snorted. He shifted the sword out of the path and caught the blow with his left. Boom! A hurricane erupted behind the swordsman, shattering mountains in its path. Razznik's angry red eyes blazed as he squeezed the fist.

Zeno pulled back, instantly retrieving her hand from Razznik's grip. "How about this!?" She suddenly erupted with a thousand punches and kicks. She was too quick, often appearing above, behind or below Razznik. She delivered hundreds of blows in the span of a few seconds, but Razznik's sword easily kept pace with her.

The clashes evoked images of Armageddon, each blow emitting thunderous sounds that echoed for several miles. The sparks from their clashes sparked a massive wildfire in the forest below, but neither of them cared.

"Too wild." Razznik snorted. He suddenly tossed his sword to the front and punched at it. Surprisingly, Zeno appeared just in front of him, already throwing out a punch. Her fist smashed the sword's face, but Razznik's fist hit the other side at precisely the same time. Roiling ki traveled along the swordsman's arm. Somehow, the ki channeled through the blade without harming it in the slightest.

BOOM!
The ki exploded upon collision with Zeno's dragon ki. The restless dragon was sent flying back by the force. "Not yet!" Zeno roared and took a deep breath. Half a second later, a fireball the size of a football field launched out of her mouth with the speed of a bullet.

Razznik did not have the time to retrieve his sword. This was of no consequence. He twirled his fingers and the blade rapidly rotated in place. The blade had his ki embedded in it at all times. The blade's ki confronted the fireball, instantly shattering the fireball into large clusters of embers.

Razznik's brows did not relax despite blocking the fireball. A microsecond after the fireball was dispersed, with the embers still flying out, a fur covered hand smashed against the sword. In the next microsecond, the owner of that hand confronted Razznik directly.

Razznik cocked his head to the right. Lucius' right hand brushed Razznik's cheeks as it burst past. A heavy gale blew out, instantly killing the forest fire everywhere it passed. In return, however, trees and rocks were instantly uprooted and pulverized to dust.
