Chapter 498: Battle Against Daire, Lord of the Sixth Realm! (2-Last)
"You have come quite early. A day before to be specific."
While Khal was looking at the giant orb floating above his head just about five to six miles, suddenly a voice he was pretty much familiar with appeared from his right.
"I had nothing else to do so I thought I why not." Khal shrugged casually as he looked at Hale on his side.
However, when he did he was surprised to see that except for Hale, there were six other individuals behind him, from which he recognized four while he was unfamiliar with the other two.
"Well, it doesn’t really matter as everyone is back." Hale smiled before he took a step to the side and gestured toward the six behind him, "So, please, let me introduce them to you."
Then, he pointed at the one on the very left, whose face was hidden behind a hoodie while its body was covered with a black robe.
"He is Kemuel, Lord of the First Realm. Besides him, as you may have already figured out, she is Nefia, the Lord of the Second Realm."
Kemuel nodded his head gently when he was introduced while Nefia just crossed her arms just below her bosom and narrowed her eyes at Khal- it seemed ever since their last encounter with each other she still held a grudge against him.
"The cold lady beside Nefia is Selenia, Lord of the Fourth Realm while the three on her side are Iara, Lord of the Third Realm, Pilzrod, Lord of the Fifth Realm, and Daire, Lord of the Sixth Realm."
"Since when did I become cold in your eyes?" Selenia raised a brow at Hale to which the Emperor of the seven Realms just laughed somewhat awkwardly and asked, "Why? Aren’t you?"
"Hmph..." Selenia just sneered quietly at that remark and decided not to say anything which not only made Hale shake his head helplessly but even Daire let out a small chuckle.
"My name is Khal Nevio, a cultivator from the Human Race. It is my pleasure to meet with all of you." Khal bowed once Hale finished introducing everyone, which earned different reactions from the six Lords such as a silent nod, a cold sneer, an indifferent look, a click of a tongue that sounded annoyed, or a small chuckle.
"Now then, if you don’t have any questions, why don’t we start your trial?"
"Sure." Khal nodded his head calmly to which Hale just smiled and clapped his hand.
Whoosh!
A gentle breeze suddenly swept through the gigantic platform the next second and under the gazes of the six Lords and Khal the large floating orb began to rise into the sky until it was nothing but a small dot!
"Okay everyone, to your places," Hale waved his hand and quickly vanished into thin air which was followed by Kemuel, Nefia, Iara, Selenia, and lastly Pilzrod. As for Daire, he just remained where he was while his face held a confident smile.
"Do you need time to get ready?"
Khal watched as the platform under his feet started to emit a gentle silver glow, but feeling that it did nothing to him he raised his gaze at Daire and shook his head.
"I see, then..." Daire smiled and raising both his hand before his chest, he summoned a pair of white gloves around his palms and said, "Whenever you are ready."
Khal took a deep breath and without hesitation activated his Artifact Core ’Invisibility Cloak’ and wasted no time at all to appear beside Daire with his Space Teleportation before swinging his right arm downward with his Mechanical Saber.
Whoosh!
Swish!
The speed with which Khal moved his arm was so fast that the space around his plasma saber even twisted which gave a look as if it was teleporting from one point to another, yet, even like this Khal failed to hit Daire.
BOOOOOOM!
"So serious right from the start? You really don’t waste time, huh?" Daire exclaimed out loud as he appeared a mile away from his previous spot and how Khal’s attack just created a massively long and wide fissure on the platform’s surface.
[It seems he has a technique to detect your movement.]
’Yeah, kinda figured it out.’ Khal thought as he deactivated his Invisibility Cloak and instead activated his ’Duplication’ Power Core which, in truth, was the enhanced version of the Beast Core he obtained a few days ago.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!...
"Oh? Trying to outnumber me with clones?" Daire raised an amused smile upon seeing how around a hundred Khals appeared in front of him, each seemingly possessing a fraction of his strength.
"Something like that, yeah." Khal nodded and quickly ordered his clones to attack Daire in the distance, immediately waking total chaos on the gigantic platform.
Fire-type techniques in the shape of lotuses, dense frost mists that froze everything in their paths, attacks that shattered the ground into pieces because of the increased gravity, wind blades with sharpness capable of slicing mountains, miniature black holes that twisted space and shredded everything into pieces that were sucked in them, and falling swords from the sky that seemed to have their own consciousness as they each flew after the same target that was on the move constantly!
Despite having just a fraction of his strength within his clones, the attacks they all used were still so destructive that they could easily demolish whatever dared to cross their paths!
Even Daire, the strongest among the current six Realm Lords had to use different defensive techniques to avoid getting injured, which alone was an outstanding feat to achieve!
However, that was all. Although hundreds of various attacks with demolishing power assaulted him relentlessly from literally all directions, Daire moved and defended against them as if they were nothing special!
The fire lotuses were extinguished, the ice mists were blown away, the black holes were teleported into an unknown location, the wind blades were just lazily avoided, while the swords and other physical attacks were simply shattered into pieces with little to no effort!
