Chapter 724: Franklin vs Amune
âYouâre strong but you lack understanding of energy!â
Franklin said before his body inflated turning into a vicious-looking pile of flesh. With parasite transformation, he didnât look like a demi at all. If he told someone that he was a monster they would likely believe him.
Just looking at his appearance, it was no different from other monsters.
âWhat the fuck is that?!â Amune was horrified. He didnât know what was with his opponent.
Franklin charged forward and swung the huge blades in his hand.
Amune gritted his teeth as he crossed his arms. The blades slammed heavily on his arms and the terrifying force within made his body tremble. The floor beneath his feet cracked as dust shot up in the air.
Franklinâs strength had grown stronger once again. In terms of physical state, Amune realized that this guy was higher than him.
BAM!!
âYouâre strong! But you are also weaker than any Shackled Realm in Astros!â Franklin raised his feet and delivered his leg on Amuneâs side, sending him in the air.
Amune sprung in the mid-air and his body turned into a stream of light flying at Franklin with unbelievable speed. Franklin faced him with a huge smile on his face.
BOOM!!
The collision produced a powerful shockwave that destroyed the houses around them. The world got stronger, things got tougher, and the expert had their strength restricted due to the dense mana in the atmosphere. But they could still produce devastating powers.
Both of them collided hundreds of times in just a second. It devastated everything within a radius of five hundred meters. If the soldiers didnât help evacuate the civilians, a lot of people would die from their collision.
While they were fighting, Third Head arrived near the battlefield with Ninth Head. They just finished their job and went here because of the intense mana fluctuations in the atmosphere.
âHey, hey, hey, whoâs that old man?â Ninth Head exclaimed while watching the battle. She turned her small body to the person beside her.
âI donât know. Heâs trashing that Amune.â Third Head said with a yawn. She used her soft, white, and dainty hand to cover her mouth.
âTch! Amune! That bastard didnât expect that he would meet his match today!â Ninth Head clicked her tongue as she placed both of her hands on her hips before she laughed. âHahaha! You deserve it!â
But who is that old man?
Should they help the old man or help Amune?
At this moment, they didnât know who was on their side. Maybe, none of them were on the side of the Dragon Council.
âYawn⊠Iâll just sit here for a while. Call me if you need me.â Third Head sat on the corner and hugged her knees. She gave the battle one more glance before she closed her eyes.
âOkay,â Ninth Head nodded before she focused her attention on the battle. âOw! Man!! Amune is weaker than I imagined! Ah, his elemental mastery is too low!â
âGeez, if the mana density didnât increase they wouldâve destroyed this city! I should contain the shockwaves!â
Ninth Head stepped forward and pressed both of her hands together. A small green energy sphere formed and it emitted a gentle light. A magic circle formed beneath her feet as a tremendous amount of mana gushed out of her small body.
[Curtain of the Peaceful Forest]!
She hurled the energy sphere into the sky and it exploded causing green liquid to fall down like rain. The liquid continued to flow and each drop was blocking shockwave after shockwave.
It formed a clear green curtain that covered the entire area.
âItâs my first time using this after the mana density increase but⊠the range of my spell is inferior than last time.â
Looking at her spell, Ninth Head sighed. The power of One Shackle Realm had decreased tremendously. She could cover the entire city before but now the range only spans several hundred meters.
If it was in the high world, she would be able to envelop an entire country. In the mid world, it would span several countries and if it was lower world it would cover an entire continent.
Her strongest attack would even be able to crush huge cities.
âShit! That old man looked like a monster! Whatâs wrong with those wriggling flesh?! Ew! So ugly!â
BOOM!!
Franklin laughed madly. He swung the huge blades in his hand but his opponent avoided it. Then, he opened his palm and a ball of energy formed.
He threw it and Amune roared before punching the energy ball. The explosion occurred but it didnât bother him at all. He rushed toward Franklin while raising both of his hands above his head.
Intense flames burst out causing the temperature to rose sharply.
âAh!â
Franklin once again swung the huge blades heavily. The blades flashed a bright light and they collided with the flames.
BOOM!!
Amuneâs figure was blown away. He rolled in mid-air before crashing to the ground. His body was full of wounds and he realized that he was weaker than his opponent.
His equipment was just purple grade and his combat arts were lower too. It couldnât compare to Franklin who had orange-grade equipment and high level combat arts from Athenâs Champion.
He stood up with great effort. He knew that he had to escape somehow but there was a problem with the surrounding. He felt the aura of two other One Shackle Realm experts. One of them didnât even bother to hide it before casting a spell to contain the shockwaves of the battle.
âShit!! With those two, itâs harder to escape!â
Amune cursed. He looked around to find an escape when the smoke was cut into two. Then, a huge blade of energy flew at him with unbelievable speed.
[Unbind Slash]!!
Goosebumps spread on his body as he felt danger coming from the slash. He tried to escape but one of his legs was sliced apart.
âARGH!!â
Amune screamed as a huge amount of blood gushed out from his leg. His palm turned bright red and heat waves came out of it. He reached out and grabbed his leg, using the heat to stop the blood loss.
Thud!
Franklin landed in front of him causing his heart to skip a beat. He was terrified and he didnât even dare to move.
Franklin stared at Amune with a puzzled look. He slowly opened his mouth and asked, âDonât you know Element Drive? You lose your legs because you didnât use it.â
âHuh? E-Element DriveâŠ? Do you think anyone could use it?â Amune didnât expect such question so he answered subconsciously.
âOhâŠ!â Franklin raised his eyebrows, staring intently at Amune. He forgot that not everyone could easily master [Element Drive]. He had been used to seeing it so he thought that everyone have learned it.
Back in Athenâs Champion, even those Solidifying Realm warriors have learned [Element Drive]. So all the Shackled Realm warriors could use this technique, and the Astros were the same.
Yet, this One Shackle Realm didnât even know how to utilize elemental power.
âI havenât even used mine so I thought you had one. You are weaker than I expected. Maybe, the other man is stronger than you. I shouldnât have let that man leave.â Franklin said before raising his hand.
Amuneâs mind buzzed when he heard Franklinâs words. This guy⊠could use [Element Drive]? Thereâs no way he could escape after learning this.
âHaha! I loseâŠâ
A dry laugh escaped from his mouth as he stared at those gigantic blades. The last thing he saw before his vision turned black was Franklin swinging those savage blades.
Franklinâs body turned back to normal. He sighed and stretched his body.
âThat was a good fight! Luckily, I didnât use [Element Drive] quickly or the battle would end. But it still isnât enough for me. I want to use all of my powers!â
He turned his head and looked at the two people in a distance. He didnât see these two cane out of the meeting room so they werenât probably enemies.
Franklin shook his head and glanced at the unconscious Amune. He didnât kill Amune since this guy probably knew something about this incident. He also wanted to ask about the man who left before and what was their relationship.
âIâll bring you to meet the leader.â He stretched his hand and grabbed Amuneâs head. He started to walk in the direction where he could feel Soutaâs energy.
Suddenly, he recalled something. The green curtain was still active so he wouldnât be able to leave this place until he shattered it or the caster deactivated the spell.
âI need to go now. Can you dispel your spell?â He said before he continued to walk.
Ninth Head stared at Franklin from a distance. Her mouth turned into an âOâ shape as she gaped at him dragging Amuneâs body.
âWhoa! Heâs really an old man! And what the hell is that flesh before?! Is that a type of combat art or spells?â
She turned her head to Third Head and asked, âHey, what should we do? Should we follow the old man or hold him here?â
