New Life Online 254 The World Collapses

-Order of Light City, North Gate-

Those two... changing to their monster forms gave me s.h.i.+ver all over my body. Why am I feeling so uneasy... I really can't tell but my body is telling me to give up already. I'm so tired and I need to get out of this unG.o.dly place. I'm not the only one who's tired, Osia's not even standing straight anymore.

"RAAAAAAWR! FLAME SALAMANDER'S TAIL DRILL!" Daimond pushed him above using his earth giant arms and then Vulkhan used his arm with swirling flames around it making it look like a blazing drill! Excited to kill us huh.

"SKY DRAKE'S ROAAAAR!" A more powerful version of his monster roar made a powerful shockwave that almost destroyed my eardrums... at least control it, Drake! He's going to stop Vulkhan!

"BEHOLDER'S GIANT PALMS!" Daimond used his giant earth hands spell creating walls to block the attack of Drake and it did! The attack destroyed the giant hands but it didn't stop Vulkhan's charge!

"t.i.tAN'S GIANT FIERY FIST!" Please body, don't die on me!

"Here I am! GAAAAAAAAH!" I poured everything I have to my fist and hope that it would at least help me survive a little more time!

*BOOOOOOOOOOM!* Ugh! I was thrown away by the explosion force after both our attacks collided. I'm covered in bruises after that powerful explosion and my body even severely wounded.

"FLAME SALAMANDER'S FLAME BREATH!" Another one already?! Both of his hands are covered with absolute firepower that also empowers his giant sword, last time we fought, he achieved high-level Flame but now, I can tell that he achieved higher-level... There's no way I'd survive from a spell like that!

*ZWOOOOOOOs.h.!.+* He's holding his sword while falling from above covered in full bright blood colored fire. He s.h.i.+ned from above that the sky even turned red telling me that it's the end.

"SKY DRAKE'S SECOND FORM! SKY DRAKE'S OUTRAGE UPROAR!" Drake went in front of us to stop Vulkhan's attack! Drake's monster soul is an offensive type that the only way to defend us is to use a more powerful offense. A loud burst of sound blast throughout the entire area and shattered every building nearby away. All I could do is cover my ears with my hands because of his disastrous attack.

*BOOOOOOOOOM!* Vulkhan's attack exploded halfway! Drake's power absolutely stopped his attack!

"Don't forget that I'm still standing here protecting them. You have to kill me first before you can touch them. DO YOU HEAR ME?!!" I appreciate the concern Drake but please, stop freaking shouting already!

"Don't be too proud of yourself. All you can do is defend and we're not even starting yet. Daimond, show them that they should respect us. I'm just gonna watch you guys get smashed to death." Vulkhan's confident. I can tell that he's not just going to watch but also recover mana while Daimond causes damage to us...

"You're overestimating yourself, Vulkhan. That's why even you're powerful enough to dominate the whole world of NLO with your overall power, you never made to reach the top because you underestimate all the people around you. Your pride will never help you." Drake's right. Vulkhan has the power but he never used it well. I beat him in the tournament because he let his guard down. Vortz might have the same level when it comes to spells with him but Vulkhan has better and wider area of effect that he can annihilate an entire city, that's when he fought the Dracotaur but after his loss with it, he probably trained so bad to reach this kind of power and I can't tell anymore.

"I can't listen to your gibberish all day, Drake, but you're just a piece of the old man's plan. Even if you chose to interfere, you don't contribute to anything at all because you're nothing but just a small hindrance. We'll make sure that the old man will win this war and you can't do anything to stop us." Vulkhan seems to know a lot. I'm lost about all of this old man's plan here and old man's plan there... I can't seem to figure it out at all...

"I chose to help Scy and his group because I want to decide about my own future and not because an old man told me to do something else. I won't let anyone put a saddle in my guild because they want to! We're the DRAGOONS and we will push forward!" That's the Drake I know!

"Shut it, BEHOLDER'S SECOND FORM! HANDS OF THE BEHOLDER!" Daimond interrupted Drake's speech and used the second form instead. His hands are covered with some kind of earth element and he's emitting a strong aura. He didn't change that much but his hands might have some sort of power. Suddenly, Daimond made a punch in front of him...

*BAAAAAAAAAM!* Out of nowhere, Drake was knocked back pretty hard and got forced to hit the ground! It's like he was. .h.i.t by something big but... wait, does that mean Daimond's punch earlier hit Drake from afar?!

*BAAAAAAAM!* Another attack from Daimond hit Drake from afar but Drake was able to defend this time. Drake has the power to destroy hard objects with his shouts but with Daimond's fighting style now, it will be hard for Drake to fight with him.

"BEHOLDER'S BAs.h.!.+" Suddenly, Daimond's right-hand's back burst with force and he suddenly charged towards Drake. The force of the burst made him move in great speed in mid-air, giving him the chance to reach Drake in no time!

"SKY DRAKE'S HEAD CRAs.h.!.+" Drake's planning on intercepting the attack with his own power! His hand is covered with dragon scales and is now preparing to attack!

*BOOOOOOOOOM!* Both of their attacks collided knuckle to knuckle creating a ma.s.sive force that even the clouds in the sky split in half! The sound of the explosion was like the roar of two giant angry monsters and caused a colossal and enormous uproar! Where do they get this kind of power!

*BAAAAAAAM!* After that collision of punches, Daimond landed a solid punch on Drake's face! But... he took it and just smiled! The hit shook him for a bit but it's like it didn't even touch him!

*BAAAAAAAM!* Drake paid him a punch as well making Daimond pushed back a bit!

They exchanged blows like real men and fought like their life was on the line! Both of them are the type of players that have high defensive abilities which made them st.u.r.dy enough to fight like this. Even with full power, getting two or three hits from that kind of punches would end my life miserably.

With their fight, I'm able to regain mana slowly but I don't think I have enough to stop Vulkhan, Drake won't stand a chance when the two of them work together, I bet Osia can't call her monster soul anymore so basically, we're waiting to get killed here by the two of them. I need to do something!

"DARKNESS!" I slowly released the darkness around me and spreading it all over the place. It will help Drake to make Daimond defenseless because he will be able to attack him easily.

Finally, the area is now covered in darkness and for some reason, Vulkhan just stood there as if nothing happened. Is he underestimating me or does he have a plan or something?

"SKY DRAKE'S SHATTERING BITE!" Drake created a sword that looks like a dragon's fangs and then charged at Daimond holding the sword with both of his hands!

*BAAAAAAAAAM!* Drake slashed from below making an upper slice but Daimond was able to hop back in time! It wasn't the end of his attack, though, another slice from above, an overhead slice, hit Daimond and this time Daimond used both of his rock solid hands to block the attack! How?! He might have incredible const.i.tution or strength but how can he know where Drake would attack?!

I can tell that Drake's reaction wasn't as good as I did. He can't believe that one of his best moves failed. I remember him using that move to stop Maisie's two slash waves in a single move. But now, I can tell in Drake's expression that he's preparing a giant move.

"SKY DRAKE'S PRIMAL DOMINANCE!" I knew it! He used that against Maisie but he lost but this one is different from before! He's charging towards Daimond once again but this time, he's charging with an image of the dragon itself! That's definitely the power of a dragon!

"You're still too weak to beat him," Vulkhan smirked while Drake's still charging towards Daimond again. What does he mean by that?!

"BEHOLDER'S FINAL FORM! SPIRIT EYES OF THE EARTH!" Daimond's final form?! His eyes emit some kind of warm light and his rock hands are now bigger and more solid! His hands also emit the same aura as his eyes. Once again, I felt so uneasy that I'm even having a hard time standing up! The pressure of his aura alone can kill us!

"BEHOLDER'S WORLD COLLAPSE!" Before Drake can even reach him, Daimond punched the ground with his giant rock hands and in just an instant, the darkness dispersed and for a second, nothing happened but...

*BOOOOOOOOOM!* UGH! The ground for some reason pulled back leaving everything midair and then the ground suddenly erupted and pushed everything up with a G.o.dly force! It was like a giant meteor fell from above with its force! I can't believe I'm still alive! I checked Osia and somehow she's still alive but her legs are severely injured. Drake's final move was canceled and now we're just standing and looking at everything...

Everything was destroyed, the buildings, the walls, everything you can see around was destroyed. The city is in ruins... The ground shows a significant amount of fissures and cracks all over the place. Buildings collapsed like they were made of old materials and stuff. Everything... but not the castle where the old man is currently at.
