“Sorry, monkey sage.”

Su Su Su Su Su Su Su

“But I can’t stop myself!”

GRUUU…Swoosh!

|DxD|

.

Igor flew over to the battlefield with a crazed smile on his face. His Kaioken was fully activated, making him appear as a red streak that was descending towards the frontlines. He was flying so quickly that very few people could perceive him.

But, they could definitely perceive his aura.

BOOOM!

Silence…

A giant plume of dust rose up, the sounds of combat lowering in turn. Igor’s single action quietened the entire battle. Yet it wasn’t his entrance that hushed everyone’s weapons. Rather, it was the raw battle intent oozing from the dust cloud that froze everyone in their tracks.

FUUUUSH

A powerful pressure swept away the dust clouds and revealed a ferocious-looking Igor. His smile was wide, his eyes blood red almost as if he was on the verge of going berserk. The crushing aura filled with his battle intent was like a basin of cold water that cooled down even the most bloodthirsty warriors. It was especially worse for those who were unfortunate enough to be next to the blonde. Despite the distance separating them and Igor was less than three metres, none of them even entertained the thought of stabbing him.

Igor was oozing power belonging to the god class. Even though there were other god class fighters on the field, almost none of them could withstand Igor’s battle lust. It

With a fiery red aura surrounding him, the blonde puffed out his chest and roared to the skies.

“LET’S FIGHT!!!!!!!”

GRUUUU!

As if in resonance, his aura exploded with a shockwave that knocked back everyone within a hundred metre radius. With hundreds of soldiers toppling over themselves, a wide clearing was formed with the blonde as the epicentre.

Su Su Su Su Su Su Su Su Su Su Su

Blatantly running his senses through the entire battlefield, Igor searched for the largest concentration of strong-

*Catches Arrow*

Grabbing an arrow with his hand, Igor slowly turned to the right, his smile gradually widening.

Locking eyes with the person who fired the arrow, he laughed.

“Hehehe…HAHAHAHA!!!”

Swoosh...

“?!”

The archer responsible for the arrow barely had any time to react before the view of his comrades changed to that of the reddest fist in existence.

BOOOM!

The strike was so powerful that his head was blasted clean off his shoulders. Not just him, everyone for the next hundred metres in a concave formation suffered differing injuries. The ones in the immediate vicinity instantly lost their lease on life without delay.

Those a bit further away were blasted away with severe injuries that essentially made them free achievement points on the battlefield. Even those nearing the end of the range had to trade a litre of blood to extend their life subscription.

Yet out of dozens of people, only three stood tall with barely any injuries. They were heavily armoured warriors from Shiva’s army that wielded massive shields and long swords. Each of them were powerhouses of the god realm, warriors that faced the blonde without fear.

Igor was similarly excited as well when he met each of their gazes. His blood was running so hot that visible mist seeped through the gaps in his teeth.

He got into a charging stance, his body crouched and his arms spread back like wings. The aura around him grew intense, his Kaioken threatening to burst through the restraints of the times-two multiplier.

The already hardened earth beneath his feet cracked, his gaze locked on to his targets. The three warriors also looked at the blonde, their swords gradually being covered in golden light. The situation was tense. Everyone had stopped fighting and instead, spectated. They could fight against each other again in the following months, but there was no guarantee that they could witness such a battle like this.

It also helped that neither side were truly enemies, thus they could stand side to side without any issues.

With the surroundings completely silent, the stare down between Igor and the three armoured warriors gradually reached its end.

Giving a coy grin, Igor charged forward first.

Swoosh…

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh

The three warriors also charged ahead to meet the blonde, their armour not restricting them at all in terms of speed. Three golden streaks rushed forward to meet one red streak, the rest of the warriors instinctively retreating to provide space.

And their decision was correct.

BOOOOM

Their clash was so monstrous that the shockwave alone shook the entire battlefield, disorienting everyone in the process. A sound like a dozen thunderclaps caused some of the weaker soldiers to start bleeding from their ears, their passive auras not enough to block out the majority of the sound waves.

As for Igor, he had used two aura blades to block the two swords that had curved towards his neck. The third warrior had his shield up, smoke wafting from it after he had to block a sneaky mouth blast from the blonde. Everything was once again quiet, as if a temporary cease fire had been issued. The situation was in a standstill, giving everyone just the briefest of seconds to take in the scene…before all four of them suddenly vanished.

Then…

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

The sounds of impact cascaded from the skies and the ground. Most of the people present could regretfully, only hear the sounds of battle. They were simply not powerful enough to perceive such high-speed combat. Only those within the peak of ultimate class could follow the battle with their eyes. Their necks swivelled at every turn, their frightened eyes exposing the fear and shock emanating from deep within.

Everyone knew that above ultimate class, god class was the new beginning. Yet very few could comprehend just how wide the gulf between the two classes was. It was not a simple chasm that could be spanned across with a bridge. The difference between god class and ultimate class was so high that even if a hundred peak ultimate class warriors arrived, they would barely be able to defeat an entry-level god class entity.

This was a fundamental truth that the peak-ultimate classes watching understood, their individual thoughts aligning.

[[[I wouldn’t last a second.]]]

Such was the spectacle they witnessed that any thoughts of interfering were tossed aside. As for the few god class fighters in Indra’s army, none of them went on to help the blonde. Their reason was not out of fear or maliciousness, but rather out of respect. They could accurately gauge that Igor wanted to fight all three of them alone without any outside help.

And judging by…

“HAHAHAHAHA!!! GOOD HIT!”

…the blonde’s excited voice ringing through the vicinity, their choice couldn’t have been more correct. Igor was wholeheartedly enjoying the fight. Although it was three on one, the blonde still had activated his Kaioken, his doubled strength placing him at the absolute threshold of low-god class to mid-god class. It was not just his power, but his reaction speed had been doubled as well. This allowed him to counter the numerous attacks launched at him from all directions.

Furthermore, it was even worse for the three armoured warriors since…

GU!

“THIS IS FOR THE PUNCH YOU GAVE ME!”

…the punch Igor received a few moments prior reset his hard drive and lowered the bubbliness of his blood. It allowed him to fully focus all his rampaging emotions of excitement into the fight, into enjoying the battle, analsyse his opponent’s moves, and grow.

And the blonde certainly grew.

Tswii…Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu *Crunch*

Appearing to the side of one armoured warrior, Igor released nearly a dozen punches to the side of his helmet like a gatling gun. The punches came in such quick succession that the unlucky warrior’s eyes rolled to the back of his head, his body dropping towards the ground like a ragdoll. The side of his helmet had caved into his skull, his blood coming out from his eyes, nose, and mouth.

The two remaining warriors remained on the spot, their shock, fear, and caution being vividly displayed. They never assumed that their comrade could die so quickly and to pure physical strength at that.

The blonde had been dominating them with his fists, his aura swords only manifesting with the task of defending or parrying strikes. It would be understandable if their comrade died to those swords. Yet for him to die to a punch, made them fear just how strong Igor’s physique was, to the point that even their divine armour couldn’t withstand it.

Igor’s physique was truly monstrous and rightfully so. For sixty years, he had been enduring varying multiplications of Earth’s gravity. And quite recently, he was able to endure over a hundred-times Earth Gravity. Having trained in such a high gravity level for over five years, Igor was able to go past the peak of ultimate class and enter the leagues of the gods.

It was why he was able to contend against divine armour with just his fists, and why the warriors were in complete shock.

Igor watched them with a smile and spread his hands in a sagely manner. Were it not for his wide grin and his right hand covered in brain matter, he might’ve truly appeared like a sage.

Nonetheless, the blonde didn’t care about his current appearance.

“Your armour is tough. I had to test it out a bit but, nothing my good ol’ fist can’t punch through.”

““…””

Their caution had heightened. They got into their stances while Igor swung around his elbow with a cocky grin.

“The two of you aren’t enough. Bring thirty more.”

Silence…

If the battlefield wasn’t silent before, now it truly was. Even the observers hovering high in the sky quietened down at the blonde’s arrogant remark. While some wore expressions of disdain and mocking, only three people had one of interest.

They were, Sun Wukong, Indra…and Shiva.
