Chapter 427: [ Fight all out (2) ]
"It’s better than all of you stay away for now. You guys can’t handle this fella," Allen advised as he did not want them to risk their lives in his battle with the Firebird.
“But Master!”
“Baishe, you won’t obey me…?” Allen asked with a bitter and sorrowful smile. This small action caused a huge impact and Baishe instantly paled in fear. Not because she was scared of Allen but because she never wants Allen to be disappointed in her.
She would never be able to bear it if Allen would hate her!
“I, I understand…” Baishe immediately conceded. Her expression was full of depression. Besides, just seeing his face alone give her enormous damage!
Seeing this, Allen raised his hand and strokes the large snakehead of Baishe and planted a kiss on her forehead.
“Wait for me, I’ll be fine…”
Baishe's depression was instantly lifted and the beautiful pale white scales on its snakehead was dyed with a shade of pink. She nodded with a bashful expression and slowly retreated along with the others.
“Please be careful master,”
“Take care master,”
Allen jumped from Grafilia’s back, soared into the sky and confronted the flying Firebird, who was roughly less than 30 meters away from him. The pressure from the two’s auras surged out in waves as they fiercely collided with each other.
Babbannnggg!! A thunderous sound seemed to echo throughout the entire space.
At this moment, Baishe and the others had landed on the ground. They had met up with Lama and the others, as they exchanged gazes with each other before their eyes fell onto Allen again. Their eyes full of worry and concern.
“Hm?” When suddenly, Baishe and the others noticed something. They hastily turned their heads around them and saw various lights emerged from every direction. If one looks closely, the lights were all powerful monsters and beasts within the Desert. In the lead, there were at least a dozen of High Ranking monsters at least, Peak Emperor Realm!
These monsters were rushing over crazily towards this direction.
What’s happening…?
The scene of dozen of beasts rushing over made Baishe and the others frowned.
“No, this is…” Dakna frowned. Her voice caught the others attention and all the gazes concentrated on her.
Dakna turned at them and started explaining; “The flesh and blood of that monster were extremely alluring and hold a great attraction to us fire type beasts. In fact, all of you should have also felt it but not as strong as us—creatures with strong Fire energy within our bodies. And from what I can guess, the reason Xinghong found that monster was because it was probably injured a bit when it fought against another monster causing Xinghong to smell its scent due to her superior sense of smell.”
“… …”
“… And this should be the same. Because of our battle, it attracted all the monsters attention and most of all; it couldn’t resist the temptation from that monster…”
“I see…” Allen and the Firebird heard Dakna’s explanation and Allen flashed a grin, “You’re quite popular, aren’t you~”
The Firebird snorted, “Hmph. If you want this popularity then why don’t I give it to you… in silver platter nonetheless…” It seems like the Firebird didn’t like its situation. Well, I guess everyone aiming for your flesh and blood would probably think the same…
Allen chuckled. Even still, this bird unexpectedly knows how to humor~
However, this kind of situation wasn’t desirable. The monsters' appearances would certainly cause trouble for Allen as well and so, Dakna and the others decided to act. Seeing them charged at without hesitation, the Firebird couldn’t help but admired them; “You have quite good servants, don’t you?”
“They’re not servants… they are my family…” Allen declared proudly. “And for you hurting them, I will pay you back a hundred folds!!” His eyes gleamed coldly.
“Hmph! Let’s see if you can!!”
After talking and confronting each other in the sky, gradually intensified their powerful auras.
Although they hadn’t taken action yet, this imposing manner had completely enveloped the entire Desert.
Boom!
A muffled sound rang out as another wave of magic power collided once again. At the same time, a hint of coldness flashed through the eyes of Allen and the Firebird.
Swish!
Their bodies seemed to have moved at the same moment. They rushed through the sky like lightning, and, in an instant, they collided with each other in the sky.

In the battle, the Firebird looked at Allen who was approaching beneath it. In its fiery golden eyes was a sense of mockery as it then extended its wings towards Allen. Suddenly, the blazing flames behind the Firebird spread-out like a blanket of flames and advanced at Allen.
Noticing that the flames were coming to him like an ocean wave which could devour him within seconds, Allen remained fearless. A golden-colored glow flashed under his feet emitting a faint thunder roar before his body shook and turned into a black line. It flickered before flashing toward the Firebird
Electricity flashed across Allen’s eyes. When he appeared before the Firebird, Allen’s appearance had already somewhat changed. The black coat he was wearing was now turned into a golden Lightning–like coat, shining and glowing brightly.
[ Lightning Coat ]
Even Allen’s original silvery white hair turned golden and standing upright. His body constantly emitting lightning sparks.
Bzzt bzzt bzzt! A deep hum wormed from around the Firebird’s body. The power coursing through it covered him in a dim crimson light.
Looking on, Allen’s face took on a strange expression.
The Firebird’s body shimmered and flashed, suddenly dropping down from the skies. As it then began to descend a dull blast filled the air.
It easily broke the sound barrier! Sound!
In the next instant, the Firebird’s claws appeared already before Allen’s face. And in an instant, Allen’s luminous shell of the Anti-Magic barrier began to cave, crack, then shatter with a loud crash into countless motes of light.
“Too fragile, eh—What…?!”
But it was the Firebird’s scowling face that froze in shock. A large, powerful hand was gripping its claws.
“How could you be this fast?” The Firebird looked at Allen stupefied.
The speed that Allen had suddenly displayed caused the Firebird’s expression to change slightly. It certainly did not expect Allen to have such ability. It happened very quickly, so it did not see it coming.
Allen looked at it, shaking his head apologetically. “Your power is indeed, amazing—much less speed. However, indeed, you can move at the speed of sound, but I had already passed that stage. Not only could I move at the speed of sound. I could even move at the speed of light!!”
“Speed of light? Hmph, if it’s only speed you have, it would still be not enough!!”
However, the Firebird’s reaction was quite quick. The crimson flames surrounding the Firebird bloomed suddenly, employing all its power to wrench its claws free from Allen’s grasp and then, twisting its body mid-air—a sharp blazing talon became just like a blade that pierced toward Allen’s chest.
Against the Firebird’s powerful sharp attack, Allen did not show the slightest signs of dodging. Instead, a mysterious lightning spark emerged from within his eyes. As the sharp talons were about to reach him, Allen’s eyes suddenly transformed into a Sharingan.
Allen slightly shifted his body in a ghost manner causing an afterimage to appear, dodging the sharp talons by a hairs breadth.
“It brings you no shame to lose to me in speed, I am the future High God of Thunder and Storm—whatever barriers that restricted humanity will be broken by me, slowly! And you will be my proof of that!” Allen offered a small smile. In the next instant, his entire body sparked as bolts of lightning spat out from him.
Then, Lightning energy surged out from his body and appeared on the surface of his fists as his five fingers were abruptly clenched.
“Aaaaaaaahhhh—[ Dragon Demon God’s Thunder Blast ]!!!”
With a cry, he throws his fist violently.
Baaaaaang!!!
A fiery red film surfaced as the fist heavily smashed into the Firebird. The force that was contained in the fist was reduced by over half. Despite this, the remnant force still shook the Firebird until it withdrew a few meters in a miserable manner.
“[ Gatling Thunder Cannon ]!!”
Allen did not rest or pause after his single attack made contact. His body once again advanced in a lightning-like manner. His arm shook as his fist left behind afterimages. Wind from his fist blew like sharp, cold wind.
Bang! Boom! Bang! Boooom!!
In just a few moments after the battle restarted, the Firebird completely descended into a disadvantaged state under this wild gale-like close range attack of Allen. In just a few minutes, the Firebird’s barrier started to show signs of cracking from the powerful attacks.
If one’s gaze were shifted to the entire battleground in the sky, one would see figures flashing and hear the repeated explosions that were created from countless attacks clashing together.
CRYAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
As the two exchanged blows one after another, the magic power clumps that filled the sky howled.
“How dare a mere Deity to go against me!!!” Then, suddenly the Firebird’s tail turned bloody red, it chirped loudly while shaking its tail. Nine flaming whips appeared, they were coming towards Allen.
The whips were fast, traveling at a speed that broke the sound barrier, causing explosions in the air. From the look of it, Allen knew that he would not be able to defend it. If he was whipped by the whips even once, he would be badly injured if he even managed to survive the attack.
He would lose his strength completely by then.
Allen’s eyes instantly changed into Sharingan as he put all his focus towards his pair of eyes.
Using his Sharingan to its full potential, Allen rushed towards the Firebird while evading the Firebird’s whips by hair’s breadth. He looked like he was dancing on the tip of swords as he was surrounded by the nine whips.
The whips did not stop attacking him even for a moment. However, he was not hit once, not even the corner of his clothes was touched.
The Desert was burnt black with marks made by the whips. Each of the marks was hundreds of meters long and a couple of meters deep. Those were the traces left by the flaming whips. There were even several pitiful monsters that were caught up by the attacks and died from being grilled or sliced apart by the whips.
Fortunately, there were not fighting above any kind of civilization or else, just thinking how huge casualties would appear because of this whips was already terrifying enough.
“Master…”
Baishe and the other who was watching from the ground while slaughtering monsters were extremely worried for their beloved master. However, no matter how much they focus their attention, they could only catch a glimpse of what was happening as the speed of Allen and the Mythical Bird, Bennu, the Firebird were moving at was too intense.
If they were the one being attacked by the whips or probably even if they tried joining the battle –they were certain that they would have been chopped into pieces within a second. Thus, no matter how frustrated they are, they have no choice but to watch their master fight alone.
What they feared the most was being a baggage that drags their master down into defeat…!
It’s something they would rather die than do!
Truthfully, Allen was much weaker than the Firebird as a whole. However, he had many skills that he could use to defend against the Firebird at the moment and he was not fighting with just his own ability. This was also why the Firebird finds it difficult to defeat Allen.
Allen’s power was extremely diverse that even the Firebird itself, which had already cultivated for a very long time and had seen, met and fought many High gods in the past was extremely shaken. It just couldn’t understand, just what kind of God did Allen descended from and what kind of aspect it was cultivating…?
Thunder and Lightning…?
Storm…?
Flames…?
Beast and monster…?
Earth…?
The Firebird couldn’t understand clearly as to why Allen possesses many different God aspects…
