"This kind of ability is just cheating. This is magic I worked so hard to research."
Draco was breaking down inside; his attack had actually been neutralized by his own magic.
The seas of stars within the barrier dissipated into nothingness like fireworks after the collision.
"Show me whatever other moves you have!"
"I don't believe it. There's no way you can copy every single move."
Draco shouted, swinging his golden staff downward.
In an instant, a violent aura erupted from him, his robes fluttering loudly.
"Abyssal Summons: All Things Return to Void!"
An extremely thick aura of death spread across the sky. With a dull crack, the void beneath Draco's feet fractured and rapidly expanded.
A gate leading to hell emerged out of thin air, covered in eerie and complex patterns.
In the very center of this portal, a gemstone flickering with an eerie green light was embedded.
"Open!"
With a furious shout from Draco, the deep, dark gate suddenly swung open, and a gloomy Path of Death extended to Guy's feet.
"You want me to walk in? I refuse."
Saying this, Guy prepared to jump away from the Path of Death.
"Hmph, it's not that simple."
No matter which direction Guy tried to escape in, he would always weirdly end up back on the Path of Death.
"Did you actually stack countless layers of Spatial Warps?"
Guy frowned; his body was moving toward the Gates of Hell uncontrollably.
In his eyes, this Path of Death seemed to contain some mysterious power, as if it were trying to drag him inside.
"I'll see for myself what happens once I'm inside."
"You'll find out once you're in."
Draco let out a laugh full of schemes as the Gate of Death slowly closed.
Soon, the sound of violent collisions echoed from within the Gates of Hell.
The great gate emitted a dull roar, seemingly under immense pressure.
Draco knew that this sort of alternate dimension couldn't hold Guy for long, so he began chanting an obscure and profound incantation.
Countless basic formations unfolded like fireworks, enveloping the Gates of Hell.
"Space-Time Lockdown!"
Accompanied by a low growl, countless runes shot out.
"Let's see how you'll copy my skills when you can't see me casting."
The powers of time and space intertwined, completely imprisoning this section of space so that nothing could escape.
"This should delay him for a while."
Draco began preparing his next ultimate move, his eyes gradually becoming cold and clear.
He crushed three Super-Tier Magic scrolls, and strands of pale green aura swirled around him.
He began reciting an obscure, ancient incantation, and immediately after, a lotus condensed from magical elements bloomed.
The exquisite lotus absorbed the three Super-Tier spells into three of its twenty-four petals.
This was far from over.
Golden light flickered in Draco's pupils, and his temperament changed instantly, making him look like a noble deity.
He activated his Immortal Demon Form directly; the tenfold increase pushed his power to a shocking level.
"Protection of Chronos, God of Time and Space!"
The authority of the 'King of Time and Space' was activated, and Draco's aura surged once again as the profound power of space-time bolstered his body.
Next, the performance began.
"Star Magic: Universal Pull!"
He flipped his palm, and a brilliant star floated in the center of his hand.
The star was black-purple in color, and its surface was wreathed in terrifyingly high-temperature flames.
He threw the star in his hand into the blooming lotus.
"Super-Tier: Starburst!"
"Super-Tier: Judgment of the Life Goddess!"
"Super-Tier: Twilight of the Gods!"
"Super-Tier: Biblical Apocalypse!"
"Super-Tier: Final Doomsday Judgment!"
"..."
One awe-inspiring spell after another appeared in his hands, only to be tossed into the twenty-four-petaled lotus.
Draco's eyes showed no emotion, but a twisted smile formed on his face.
"You bastard, how dare you toy with me!"
Guy's angry roar echoed out.
With a loud "Boom!"
The Gates of Hell were shattered by a single punch from Guy, and he rushed out in a rage.
As a result, he was greeted by the binding effect of the Space-Time Lockdown.
"Crack!"
The terrifying power on Guy's body directly shattered the space; the effect of the Space-Time Lockdown couldn't restrain him in the slightest.
"Hahaha, perfect timing. Taste the ultimate move I've newly researched."
Draco held the massive lotus, which radiated overwhelming pressure, with a manic smile on his face.
"Twenty-Four Blooming Petals: Space-Time Divine Art: Song of Eternity!"
As his voice fell, a giant blooming flower bud slammed violently toward Guy.
"Holy crap!"
Guy was startled and couldn't help but curse.
Velzard, who was maintaining the barrier, also frowned as the energy within her began to boil.
She wasn't worried about Guy—a Primordial was an immortal existence—she was worried that the barrier wouldn't be able to withstand this attack, leading to the total destruction of the continent.
She pushed the authority of the 'King of Patience' to its limit and reinforced the barrier once more, only then relaxing slightly.
In his desperation, Guy no longer held back either; he pushed the 'King of Wrath' to 80% output. Endless blood-red currents erupted from the capillaries all over his body, forming a special energy barrier.
This was the strongest barrier he could release at the moment; there was no time for him to employ any other defensive measures.
"BOOM—!!!"
A massive explosion rang out, and ripples of space-time so powerful they were beyond belief swept across the entire world.
Within those space-time ripples, everything began to annihilate.
Velzard's barrier began to shake violently. With a "Crack!"
A rift suddenly opened in the ice crystal barrier, and the terrifying energy inside spewed out from the crack.
Seeing things were going south, Velzard immediately layered several more barriers outside the original one.
Although she acted quickly, a sliver of energy still managed to leak out.
"Rumble—!!"
A giant mushroom cloud rose in the distance.
That single sliver of energy alone reduced a distant range of snowy mountains to dust.
A heatwave swept across the originally frozen land, bringing a hint of warmth to the frigid air.
Watching from the sidelines, Raine and Misari clicked their tongues in secret amazement.
"This is too exaggerated."
Raine swallowed hard. "Is this really a human?"
Misari was also shocked. "This power is definitely not something a human should possess!"
When the ripples inside the barrier gradually subsided, two battered men were revealed.
"I was careless."
"I miscalculated."
Draco had felt great spamming Super-Tier spells, but he had forgotten that he would also be caught in the aftermath of the magical explosion.
As a result, just like Guy, he only had time to release a few spatial barriers to tank the shockwaves from the explosion.
Guy, on the other hand, had been blinded by his years of being invincible, which had led to the flaw of arrogance.
This caused him to be led by the nose by Draco throughout the battle; despite his terrifying strength, he had only displayed the tip of the iceberg.
"Let's call today a draw. If you aren't afraid of the Frozen Continent sinking, then by all means, continue."
Guy, you wouldn't want your home to be gone, would you?
White Ice Dragon (Heart) Guy
