Chapter 697 Chad's Duel ( Part 2 )
The Dragon's image and the Golden Shield's image that had appeared behind the two Arcanists mesmerized the crowd who were watching the duel.
"Beautiful…" Ceres couldn't help but appreciate the Aura of both fighters. Not all Aura Masters were capable of manifesting an image of their Aura.
At most, they could make their Aura tangible like Arcane Energy, but for an image to form, it requires a higher level of mastery and even some sort of mutation to the physique of the Combat Arts Practitioner.
"So this is the peak of Combat Artists…" Miya mused as she had seen plenty of Practitioners of this Arcane Path but saw them as just enhanced humans.
Because of their weak Aura, she couldn't even properly consider them as Arcanists because of how limited they could be.
However, the sight before her had truly opened her eyes… As long as one mastered the Aura similar to how other Arcanists could master their Arcane Energy, they would possess an incredible strength that could match the Expert Arcanists or even the Master Arcanists.
Boom!
The two warriors exchanged blows using their weapons. A clash between a sword and a gauntlet. Unlike normal Arcanists who would throw Spells at each other, the two fought like ancient warriors with full body enhancements.
They were dodging and blocking their opponents' attacks.
However, everyone could tell that their first few exchanges were only trying to gauge each other's strength.
Nonetheless, it didn't stop the viewers from being impressed by Chad and Sir Geoffrey's performance and start wondering who would win and who would lose.
The duel continued, and the intensity increased as they finished adjusting their strength.
In terms of physical strength, it was quite surprising that Chad and Sir Geoffrey were evenly matched, and neither could gain the upper hand!
Soon, Chad gathered all his Dark Energy into his gauntlet, and infused it with some of his Dragon's Aura.
This action revealed that Chad wasn't just a Dragon Disciple but also a Dark Arts Practitioner!
Of course, Ceres didn't miss this and she almost spoke out loud!
Luckily, she was stopped by her knight who held her hand while shaking his head.
'Right… We're not in Milton Kingdom… The rules in the Kingdom don't apply here. I can't offend the Immortal even more.' Ceres thought as she started calming down.
"Careful!" Chad shouted as he warned his opponent about his next attack.
Chad aimed to deliver a devastating punch that would shatter Sir Geoffrey's defense and knock him out if he couldn't kill him.
On the other hand, Sir Geoffrey gathered his Aura into his sword and activated an Aura Technique that enhances his speed.
He aimed to deliver a quick and precise slash that would break through Chad's offense and cut him down.
"You're the one who should be careful!" Sir Geoffrey shouted back.
They soon charged at each other and launched their attacks!
Bang!
They collided with a loud explosion, which was followed by a blast of light and destruction of the open field.
As the gauntlet and the sword released their energy, they both felt a surge of pain and a loss of balance.
Whoosh~
They both flew back and hit the ground.
Thud… Thud…
They both lay still and did not move for a moment.
It appears as if they were both knocked out or worse. Nonetheless, they could still feel the energy flowing in their bodies. They shouldn't be dead yet.
The others watched in silence, wondering who had won and who had lost.
As Sir Roland was about to suggest checking their condition or announcing a draw, Chad and Sir Geoffrey jolted and stood up at the same time!
Indeed, they both got up and faced each other.
"So a Dragon Aura can also mess up the body of their target." Sir Geoffrey said.
"It's the same as you… I thought that Golden Shield meant that you're a defensive fighter… You can actually infuse your Aura on my body with each of your attacks." Chad replied as he shook off the Aura Master's remnant energy in his body.
With that said, the duel resumed, and as expected, the intensity increased once more!
This time, however, Chad decided to use an advanced technique as he controlled his Dragon Aura!
The fiery dragon surrounded him and roared!
"Hahaha! I knew it!" Sir Geoffrey laughed as he summoned his Aura's image again. It was a golden shield that covered him and shone.
Chad's Dragon Aura also boosted his power and pressure, which helped him weaken his opponent's control over the surrounding energy.
Sir Geoffrey's Aura, on the other hand, boosted his defense, making him tougher and calmer.
They charged at each other once again.
Chad's Dragon Aura seemed to have breathed fire, spitting flames at Sir Geoffrey!
"Not a chance!" Sir Geoffrey's Golden Shield reflected light, blinding Chad with a flash. It should have been a good opportunity to counter, but it wasn't enough!
"Hmph!"
Chad's Dragon Aura bit, snapping its jaws at Sir Geoffrey!
"Too slow!"
The latter didn't panic and used the Golden Shield as he bashed, slamming its edge at Chad.
The two fighters continued to clash, using their weapons and their auras.
Chad's Dragon Aura was fierce and aggressive, while Sir Geoffrey's Golden Shield was solid and defensive.
They matched each other's moves!
"Let's get this over with…" Chad finally decided to change his strategy and used one of his secret weapons.
He decided to transform into his Dragonoid Form, a half-
human, half-dragon hybrid that enhanced his physical and magical abilities.
'I don't want to win with my Magic Artifact… It's better to win as a Dragon Disciple!' Chad said in his mind as he decided to surprise Geoffrey and overwhelm him with his dragon power!
Bang!
After the two clashed again, Chad jumped back and moved about 30 meters away from his opponent.
He then focused for a moment before he activated his transformation!
Soon, Chad felt his body changing, growing scales, claws, wings, and horns. He felt his gauntlet changing, morphing into a dragon's claw.
Then, everyone felt his Dragon Aura changing, becoming more intense and powerful.
In just a few seconds, Chad completed his transformation and revealed his Dragonoid Form!
