CHAPTER 552 LIFE OR DEATH (PART ONE)
Along with the towering column of dust displaced off the ground, and the continuous trembling of the
mountains nearby, the battlefield was a total mess. Furthermore, the entire space was filled with the
dominating sound of clashing and clanging of blades and swords.
As the battle progressed, Darren was so bold that he moved toward the front of the metal creature by
using his Teleportation Skill. As soon as he positioned himself in what he assumed to be the perfect
spot to attack, he released his sturdy blade and sword intents abruptly.
At the same time, as it was determined to counter the attack launched by Darren, the metal creature
unleashed its blade and sword intents as well.
"My blade intent and sword intent are being suppressed!"
Darren murmured to himself while frowning, astounded by what just turned out from the clash of
intents. It was apparent that his blade and sword intents were weaker than that of the metal creature.
In spite of that, Darren didn't lose hope and continued to fight with the metal creature by using
Teleportation Skill.
Clang!
One blow after the other, Darren could cut on the metal creature every once in a while. Yet, it was a pity
that its body was tough and rigid that Darren couldn't break through its defense at all.
"The Sword Intent Storm!
The Blade Intent Tide!" the metal creature called out.
At the onset, after hearing the metal creature summoning such intents, Darren was flabbergasted. He
was knocked down with a feather knowing that the metal creature could use martial skills of blade and
sword intent!
Seconds after, a tornado made up of sword intent and waves formed by blade intent evoked before his
very eyes. Darren was held in awe and was held immobilized at the sight of such devastating intents.
He was so overwhelmed that he couldn't move a muscle. It was as if he was frozen at the moment, and
his feet were cemented on the ground.
"Oho! What powerful skills are those! Where in hell are they from?" Darren questioned in amazement,
with his mouth gaped in bewilderment. After which, like he was suddenly struck by lightning, he
immediately activated his Air-integrated True Rule. Such action in the nick of time enabled him to
dodge off the metal creature's assault.
Boom! Boom!
With Darren invisible by now, the metal creature's attack failed at once. The dark walls around that
surrounded them began to vibrate, and the ground trembled even more intense this time. In a flash, the
dark sky was lit up by numerous strange runes.
Disheartened at the fact that his target was nowhere to be found, the metal creature dismissed casting
its attack and grew vague.
"Hum? Unexpectedly he is a rule cultivator too. That's bizarre,"
the concealed shadow that had been watching the battle from afar said with a satisfied nod.
With the help of his Air-integrated True Rule, Darren transformed into inanimate air. Thus, the metal
creature couldn't locate him even in the slightest sense.
However, the rule was not a permanent solution. Darren knew that he needed to find a chance to kill
the metal creature as soon as he could.
"If I execute the Blood Dragon Phantom, I can lure him with the avatars. Will he be taken in?" Darren
murmured while staying hidden, unnoticed, and unfelt—close to non-existent.
After a while, he had made up his mind, and Darren created eight avatars. After this, he ordered an
avatar to attack the metal creature. The rest of his avatars and he himself used the Hurricane
Teleportation Skill to fly away and stay invisible again.
"I will kill you now!"
the metal creature announced as he felt Darren's avatar. At the onset, he immediately launched an
attack that was aimless and reckless.
'He has fallen into the trap, ' after seeing such blind-like action by the metal creature, Darren thought
with a smile.
However, when the metal creature started attacking his avatar, Darren showed his real self and
activated all the skills that he had. He had done so believing that it would inflict massive damage on the
creature.
The skills that he had activated included the not just potent, but devastating skills like the dark gold
internal force, the olive-black force, and the Augmented Attack Bloodline, and so on.
Equipped with all his skills and a burning desire to defeat the creature, Darren rushed towards the
metal creature, together with the other avatars.
Bang, bang, bang.
This space trembled and echoed with constant banging. Hearing this sound, Darren knew that he was
in trouble, for it merely signified that the creature's body resisted his attacks.
After the chaos was over and Darren was panting out of breath, he found all of his attacks fell on a
purple cover—shallow and futile.
"I don't expect that the blade and sword intents can form such a powerful defense!"
Darren said with a surprise. That purple cover that the metal creature had was made of the blade and
sword intents. Not in his entire life, Darren had met this kind of defense.
Above all this, one fact remained true, and that was the blade and sword intents of the metal creature
were much better than that of Darren's. Though, Darren doubted that the metal creature's ability to
resist his attacks was the contribution of the purple blade and sword cores.
After all of Darren's full skills were blocked, he couldn't figure out other possible solutions on how to
defeat the metal creature. He started to panic and grew desperate at once in his eagerness to put an
end to the creature's life.
Unlucky for him, Darren didn't grab the opportunity to catch his breath. While he stood their weighing
things out, the metal creature quickly turned into a shadow and dashed straight for Darren again.
Boom!
With one swift blow, Darren swung his blade and sword to resist the metal creature's attack.
One hit and Darren had shaken away. The metal creature didn't stop until Darren was trounced on the
black stone wall. After such a high-impact collision, Darren spewed out a mouthful of blood.
A beat and a blow, Darren was all bloody and wounded in no time. His inner organs had been swollen, Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
and a burning pain came from inside of him.
