Boom! The magic power of the two attributes spread out, and the soaring magic power propped up the hole above.
Drake and Lucius's forearms were crossed, pressing against each other, and the colliding gazes seemed to have rubbed out sparks.
What Drake had said to Lucius just now wasn't just to provoke Lucius to fight him head-on, it was a principle that was still effective in other transcendent worlds.
Just like the battles of soul reapers were a competition of spiritual pressure, and the battles of ninjas were a competition of chakra, it was just that the name had been changed.
The reason why everyone regarded Asta as the most important hope was precisely because his anti-magic was the only power that could ignore this rule, and had the possibility of creating impossible miracles.
Drake's own magic power was strong enough, so he could forcefully burn through Lucius's time magic. But similarly, Lucius's magic power was also very strong, so it had forced Drake into a difficult battle as well.
Time magic, soul magic, dragon slaying magic, the effects of these top-level magic attacks had been weakened to an extremely low degree, and what the two were competing in now was pure hard power.
Although he had known long ago that it would be difficult to find any flaws in the other party, Drake still had to admire Lucius's combat ability.
It seemed that the connection between Lucius and Julius's two souls was closer than he had imagined, and even the experience that Julius had accumulated along the way to becoming the Wizard King was also common to both of them.
Drake and Lucius were constantly moving around this huge underground space, simultaneously exchanging attacks and defenses.
Drake sent a punch, and the rampaging flames that had erupted had shattered a large chunk of the mountain wall behind him.
Having missed with one strike, Drake had immediately moved, drawing a winding line of fire in the air, throwing a series of time spheres behind him.
And Lucius had also followed closely behind, and the fist that had turned into a magic power state had directly hit Drake's crossed arms, and the air had been torn apart by the shock that had spread out.
Scorching flames were wrapped around a pair of inherent spirit armaments, isolating Lucius's soul magic on the outside. Drake raised his hands, blowing Lucius away, and just as he was about to pursue, four time spheres had already surrounded him.
"Time magic is really convenient magic!"
Drake said with such emotion, in the exchanges just now, Lucius had seized the initiative everywhere, and what he had relied on was his time magic.
Julius had said that his time magic was magic that stole other people's time, relying on time solidification to bind his opponents, and using time acceleration to make people age was indeed a powerful attack method.
But time magic also had other uses, and that was to foresee the future. Lucius had used this ability to react to Drake's attacks in advance.
There was no doubt that this ability was quite useful, but for Drake, it was too disgusting. But it was only... disgusting!
"Fire Dragon's Wing Blade!"
Drake raised his palm, and all of the flames had been compressed together. As Drake swung his arm, the flames swept out wildly, cutting apart all of the time spheres that had surrounded him.
Lucius had still underestimated Drake, the opponents that Drake had encountered along the way had been of all kinds. And there had naturally also been those who had abilities similar to him.
Whether it was relying on foresight or mind-reading, he had encountered quite a few who had the ability to predict their opponent's moves or intentions.
Drake was considered to have experience in dealing with this kind of opponent.
"Foresight of the future, then let's see if your foresight can keep up!"
As Drake said this, the Dragon King Martial Body had already begun, and in just an instant, Lucius had lost track of Drake's figure.
In his foresight, Drake would launch a preemptive attack at close range. But almost at the same time that the foresight had been activated, Drake's fist had already struck over.
The force of the punch was mixed with flames, blasting Lucius away like a cannonball.
Lucius had finally understood Drake's response method. The ability to foresee the future was indeed powerful, but his own reaction had a limit.
Even though he had used the power of purification to achieve a breakthrough in the level of life, that limit still existed.
Since the ability to foresee was difficult to break, then as long as he exceeded that limit, even if he could foresee the other party's next action, his body would be hit because it wouldn't have time to react.
Lucius stopped his retreating body, the expression on his face becoming ugly as he looked at Drake.
"I've seen all of this world's futures, and not a single one matches the current situation.
The strongest future for Yuno should have been a world where there was no rebellion in the Spade Kingdom, and he had been steadily training. But he has now become even stronger than that future.
The others are the same, there's no future where Noelle could become this strong, Fuegoleon should have been killed by Patri, and the elf tribe should have been completely wiped out.
This world is actually a world that I haven't foreseen."
Taking a deep breath, Lucius opened his mouth, continuing, "I've been thinking about where the problem was ever since the changes had appeared. At first, I thought that the reason was Asta.
The only thing different about this world is Asta, who possesses anti-magic power, he's the most unreasonable existence in this world, there's no way that a life without magic power could exist. So he's what's affecting my foresight.
So I determined that Asta was a flaw in my planned perfect world, and I'm not afraid to tell you, the next step in my plan was to erase this flaw.
But later, I discovered another special existence!"
Saying this, Lucius raised his hand, pointing at Drake, saying in an extremely serious tone, "And that's you! Although you're exceptionally outstanding, because Asta's abnormality was too severe, I had always been neglecting you.
In all of the worlds that I've foreseen, there has never been your existence. You, like Asta, are people who shouldn't exist in this world!"
Drake's eyebrows twitched, he really hadn't known that Lucius actually had this kind of ability.
But he could also be considered unlucky, to have encountered Asta's anti-magic power, which had directly locked down such a powerful ability. And because of this, Asta had also provided cover for him for a period of time.
Drake smiled, saying, "So that's how it is, then what do you plan to do?"
Lucius spread his arms, saying, "Then of course I'll eliminate you, who is also an abnormality!"
Saying this, Lucius had also unleashed astonishing speed, appearing before Drake like he had teleported, sending a punch.
Lucius had accelerated his own time, greatly increasing his speed as a result.
Drake didn't give in at all, sending a punch to meet it. This time, the commotion was especially large, and even the castle above had begun to shake as a result.
"You said that you foresaw all of the futures, right! But what we've been doing all along is creating new futures."
Drake said, and the surging flames made his dragon scale scarf flutter, and Drake's fist had directly blasted Lucius away.
Lucius had crashed heavily into the mountain wall behind him, and then had foreseen Drake's pursuit.
Drake had stepped heavily on the mountain wall with one foot, directly smashing out a patch of cracks. Lucius, who had dodged out in a somewhat disheveled manner, didn't change his expression, and had approached Drake again, launching a counterattack.
The battle... had erupted again!
