Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Welcome to The Tyrant’s Abode Stronghold!

A/N: I'm putting this here, cause some might not bother reading it at the end..

We reached what? Like 9 power stones last week(I'm not counting the ones I gave myself)..

I'm hoping we can do better this week..

Dare I dream of 50? I dare not..

Dare I dream of 25? Yes.. yes I do..

If we can reach 25 power stones before the end of this week, then even if my fingers ache, I'll use my teeth to make sure I deliver a full 4-6 chapters by Sunday..

It's a challenge to you and to myself..

So please~~~~~

Don't stand your favorite tree up..

Sorry for taking up your time, let's dive right back in..

Leon Lionel…

Cousin to Raiden agares…

A half-blood agares…

His talent, no less worse than his cousin's…

Awakening as a Dual Path Practitioner…

With an 8 Ringed Transcendent aura

A Transcendent Tier Affinity for mana..

A trait that simply said {ABSOLUTE DAMAGE}

It's effects as simple as it was devastating..

[Trait]

{Absolute Damage}:

All attacks carry the maximum damage capable of being dealt by the wielder, no matter how small or insignificant…

It's basically saying bro has ABSOLUTE critical damage..

Yea, broken, utterly broken…

But unfortunately, critical damage basically had no say against infinite regeneration,

"Urghh, what the hell?", Leon groaned weakly on the floor..

His cheeks swollen, both eyes blackened, and he could swear he had a broken rib or two…

The culprit of this assault, Raiden, stood upright, perfectly fine, his clothes ragged, but his sun kissed skin remained flawless..

Golden eyes gleamed with triumph..

"That'll teach you not to mess with me, wanting to infect me with ogre's disease, humph" he snorted, looking at his cousin with disdain..

A few moments earlier…

RAIDEN!!!!!!!!!

LEON!!!!!!!!!!

Both youths, unable to stand the sight of each other, after throwing several jabs, decided to solve the issue the old fashioned way, straight hands..

They charged at each other in a blur of motion, colliding with a jarring thud, fists meeting face..

Raiden's punch collided hard with Leon's face, an audible crunch, sounding out as young Leon could feel his nose cave in from the monstrous strength behind that blow..

His own punch, despite finding purchase, only echoed a dull thud..

Raiden's abnormally powerful physique shrugging off the punch..

"Urghhh" Leon staggered backwards, teeth gritting, he immediately activated his trait {Absolute Damage}…

The air around him shifted, and then he launched himself towards his cousin, Raiden, never one to cower, met the charge head on, punch for punch..

Heads, arms, chest..

Booom

Booom

Dull mini explosions echoed within the confines of the sleek jet, the young boys, like twin mini disasters tore through the interior of the jet that seemed to have expanded its interior to contain the little squabble..

Leon's {Absolute Damage} trait proved utterly effective, as even against Raiden's physique, one carved to perfection through years of grueling effort, it tore through it with frightening ease, holes appeared across his torso, his chest being adorned with gaping bloody holes, Leon at some point, was scared he'd mistakenly kill his cousin..

But then he noticed the abnormality, Raiden's wounds healed before they could even register fully, it was so fast, Leon sometimes thought he'd imagined the damage he had caused..

He didn't wince, didn't show any signs of being affected, even when he let a punch connect with his stomach, tearing a brutal fist sized hole, Raiden's manic grin only widened even more..

*****

Raiden was having a blast, he'd heard of his cousin's absurd trait from his parents, after all Leon awakened a few days before him..

But experiencing it firsthand, he realized just how broken it was, the physique he was proud of, something that even before awakening, could shrug of hits from anything that wasn't an Elite stage warrior, a physique that only got more enhanced to levels he has yet to test out after awakening, was being shredded and mangled like it was a fragile piece of paper by his cousin..

But that, THAT, made the situation all the more fun, for his own {Traits} finally showing just how unfair they were, everytime a punch tore through his body, he registered the impact but never the pain, {Pain Immunity} made that impossible..

Better still, before said injury could even register {Undying} made him whole again instantly…

The concept of defense immediately vanished from his mind, and with an increasingly maddening grin, he let Leon get a punch in, straight through his stomach, tearing a perfect fist sized hole in it, and he struck, hard, all his strength poured into that one sucker punch..

Phewwww!!!!

Boooom!!!!!

Crack!!!

The punch collided like a mini explosion, Leon's face caving in with an audible crack, as he was sent rocketing into the side of the flying vessel, and from then on, his nightmare began..

It became a straight beat down, Raiden floored him with punches after punches, breaking ribs, bursting his lip, making sure his eyes became panda eyes, his face unrecognizable..

He made sure he turned Leon's handsome visage into something resembling that of…well…an ogre…

And that brings us to this current situation…

"Urghhh~~, it was just a spar you bastard, no need to get viscious" Leon continued, his voiced slurred through his busted lips, too weak to bother standing up…

With a mental thought, a shimmering vial appeared directly in his mouth, the shimmering red liquid within catching the faint lights of the room, before being chugged down by the sprawling youth..

The change was immediate, his busted face recovered it's breathtaking handsomeness, his ribs instantly mended together, the panda eyes disappeared, and within moments(yea, still shorter than that cheater's trait) he was back, good as new..

"Just what kind of unfair trait did you unlock? As if you weren't already full of yourself enough, the universe just had to hand you something else to brag about" Leon complained..

"Heh.. that's because the universe recognizes me as the most handsome of all its creations, so of course I get special treatment, it's not something an ogre like you can relate to" Raiden sneered..

"You bastard" Leon hissed, gritting his teeth..

"I'm ready to dish out another manhandling whenever you are" Raiden hissed back..

But before the tension could escalate again, their grandfather, who wisely just ignored his two troublesome grandsons, that had a weird way of expressing their affection..(affection huh? Any affection that comes with broken ribs is not for me old man 😂)..

"We're finally here" his calm aged voice rang out as their vessel appeared above a massive, and I mean, Mount Everest would look like a pebble in its presence, type of massive mountain appeared within their line of sight..

It's peak stretched way beyond the clouds, seemingly wishing to pierce the starry skies, and above said clouds, said peak had been cleaved perfectly, the top separated to create a perfectly smooth surface where a massive garrison like structure stood, proud, ancient..

"Welcome boys, to where you'll be spending the next few months.. sharpening yourselves" grandpa Aaron aid softly, pride bleeding through his voice as he continued..

"Welcome to THE TYRANT'S ABODE"…

A/N: well I'm sorry for not hitting my target of 6 chapters today, though 4 should soothe the heart a bit…

You've seen my challenge at the start of this chapter, so I shall say no more..

Let's go!!
