Aruxâs strength was indeed astonishing. The momentum and force alone were already faintly above Barnacle. Yet, for Chen Rui who had gone through the training at the surfy sea, it wasnât enough to intimidate him.
At that time, Chen Rui drank True series buffing potions and fought hard only to kill Barnacle eventually with luck. Today, he didnât consume any buffing potions as he wanted to use his own strength to defeat Arux. The strength that truly belonged to oneself was the most reliable support.
Besides, this battle with Arux was just a beginning. There were still Demon King, Great Demon Overlord and so on. After returning from the Silent Night Wetland, Chen Ruiâs heart was more determined.
During the battle with Barnacle, he had found a feeling of reaching the highest level of Mizar state. Subsequently, during the intimacy in the wyvernâs lair, he seemed to obtain an extra power. The strangest thing was Christinaâs blood not only saved his life, but also gave him a strong, weird power that he couldnât describe.
Now, the strength in Chen Ruiâs body was unprecedentedly rich. The only thing he lacked was understanding. Thus, he needed to completely grasp the highest level of the Mizar state through actual battle or even catch the opportunity to breakthrough to Alioth.
Arux continuously used his strength, but he still couldnât move his opponent. The fighting spirit in his eyes became stronger and a long-poled scythe appeared in his hands. This scythe was a little different from the common type used by the demons. Both ends had a long blade and there was a faint purple line on the blade. The scythe had obviously been through countless battles and bathed in his enemiesâ blood.
Chen Rui remembered he had seen this type of double-headed scythe somewhere. Thatâs right. When he first met Arux, the statue that he converted into aura was holding this type of weapon. However, that statue seemed to be a female Great Demon.
Arux leaped and drew a light arc that flew toward Chen Rui. The whistling scythe actually brought a thunderous sound and the speed was faster than expected.
Chen Rui was prepared, so he moved his body slightly and the scythe missed. Merely the air force left a huge crack on the arenaâs sturdy stone floor. It looked frightening. Chen Rui had a rather rich battle experience against Great Demon. Knowing that long-poled weapons werenât effective in close combat, Chen Rui didnât withdraw. Instead, he went forward and got closer to Arux.
In his expectation, Arux should use teleportation to distant himself to maximize the characteristic of the long weapon. Then, Chen Rui could take advantage of the teleportationâs cooldown to launch a fierce attack.
When Chen Rui approached Arux, he suddenly felt danger and immediately withdrew while two strikes barely missed his chest. It turned out the long-poled scythe in Aruxâs hand had turned into 2 short-poled weapons suddenly. Thunderous sound rang and trapped him tightly within.
After the misstep, Chen Rui suddenly lost his rhythm. His feet kept moving backward while they fought. He wanted to get out of this passive situation.
The Great Demons had a weapon mastery talent. This talent was fully manifested in Aruxâs hands. The light arcs criss-crossed into a huge net. Regardless of how Chen Rui dodge, he was still trapped within. As Arux passed through, the ground was covered with crisscrossed cracks.
The audiences were mostly Aruxâs supporters, so they were cheering loudly. Yet, Arux didnât let his guard down at all. This enemy seems quite passive, but under such a thunderous fierce attack, he actually isnât panicking at all. He must be brewing a strong move, like the white light ball last time.
Chen Rui dealt with Aruxâs frenetic attack calmly. When he saw an opportunity, he punched toward Aruxâs lower ribs to change his passive state. He didnât expect that Arux wouldnât dodge. Instead, Aruxâs scythe struck toward Chen Ruiâs shoulder. It was a tactic where both sides suffer.
Chen Ruiâs reaction was extremely fast. With a turn of his body, he reduced the damage of that strike on his shoulder to the lowest and still punched directly on Aruxâs lower ribs. Arux felt like he was hit by an endless huge tides where he was punched. He groaned and moved a step backward. A footstep filled with cracks suddenly appeared on the ground that was deliberately reinforced.
Simultaneously, another short scythe swept past Chen Ruiâs waist like a venomous snake and blood could be seen as it sliced through.
Chen Rui didnât expect the second strike. He was also surprised by Aruxâs battle reaction. He actually received 2 blows in exchange for 1 punch. Since Chen Rui wasnât in a passive state anymore, he launched a fierce attack without hesitation. The spirit in Aruxâs eyes became stronger. Both his hands seemed to have merged with the weapons into one, creating countless rays in the thunderous sounds that collided with Chen Ruiâs surfy strength.
The true fierce battle had begun.
Striking sound, thunderous sound and shouting continuously sounded while ridiculous destruction trace expanded quickly in the arena.
There was 1 lich each at the four corners of the arena, controlling the activated defensive magic array to protect the audience. It was a compulsory facility in a Higher Demon battle. The audience almost couldnât see their moves clearly, yet they could judge the terror of the collision from the impacts that the defensive magic array received. They felt that there were monstrous waves into the thunderous sound. Every place theyâve been, the extra-thickened cement floor was cracked and shattered.
They thought the battle would be a landslide initially, but the intensity of the battle actually went way beyond their expectations!
Shea was the strongest audience at the venue, but she was frowning as she watched! The battle between these two actually has no defense; itâs all offense. They donât even care about getting injured just like 2 simple-minded bulls fighting desperately. This Aguile, the speed of his strength increasing is indeed shocking, but his tactics and intelligence seems bad. He clearly knows that offense is Aruxâs strong suit, but he still chooses to fight directly.
If Chen Rui has such strength, he should be winning by strategy. When she thought of Chen Ruiâs name, there was a rare gentleness flashing past Princess Royalâs eyes. Yet, she didnât know that one of the two âbullsâ in the ring was Chen Rui himself.
Sheaâs strength was a lot higher than Chen Rui and Arux, so her vision was obviously better. However, it didnât mean that everyone felt the same. Sarado, who once tied with Arux, he was defeated entirely later, had a completely different opinion.
This strongest Higher Demon of the Karon Family stared at the battling twoâs figures closely. His eyes trembled as the defensive magic array slightly shaken. Both of them are crazy! I never thought other than Arux, Aguile is also a madman that doesnât care about his life! He actually keeps on staying offensive with Arux! If it were me, I wouldâve changed my tactic in 5 minutes!
Royceâs heart was also astonished. No one at the venue knew Aguileâs true identity better than him, and he was even clearer with this guyâs strength a month ago. Back then, Chen Rui was chased into a dead end by him until he summon the dragon at the blue lake and subdued him. In just 1 month, this âmasterâsâ strength had already raised to a height that let him look up to!
Others who were also astonished were SheruffAlan who wanted to tear âAguileâ into pieces, the cloak gangâs deputy leader who was determined to challenge the leader, the dark elf, Jesse... and a lot of audiences that werenât supportive of Aguile. Everyone had a feeling in their heart at the same time: The 2 hours werenât wasted as this is a rare battle between the strongest Higher Demons!
Under the continuous deafening noises, time had passed and the center of the arena had already been destroyed.
The rhythm of the colliding sounds gradually slowed eventually. The two figures in the fierce battle immediately separated and distant themselves.
Aruxâs metal armor was deformed badly. It was covered with dents made by fists. There was blood coming from the side of his mouth, and he kept panting. Yet, the demonic fire on his body burned even brighter and his blood-red eyes emitted an odd brilliance: excitement.
For a hundred years, it was his first time encountering an opponent that gave him so much enjoyment. He actually fought head-on with him until now!
Chen Ruiâs eyes were blazing too while he panted. Such a duel consumed a lot of energy. It was a huge challenge for endurance, willpower and physique. His Star Power had lowered a lot and his cloak had long been sliced into pieces. His body was covered with wounds, but there werenât any heavy injuries. Alkaidâs body refinement made his physique extraordinary. Besides, his battle reflex had also become stronger and stronger under various actual combats. Almost before he realized it, his reflex was able to control the body and react instinctively to minimize the damage.
Surely, he couldnât do the same when he encountered someone he couldnât rival, like Broc.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Aruxâs strength was indeed higher than Barnacle, but their characteristics were completely different. Barnacleâs strong suit was his defense. Even the enhanced couldnât breakthrough his absolute defense whereas Arux didnât defend at all as his offense was his best defense. Regardless of his attack desire, power or means, he was the strongest among the opponent of the same level that Chen Rui had met.
In this powerful duel of pure strength, the feeling that he felt during the battle with Barnacle was getting stronger and stronger. It was like the sparks from two clashing blades. As the force increased, the spark blazed stronger until it became a real flame.
At that time, countless stardust in the human body of became extremely fine and shiny. Every single piece was like individuals that went through thousands of refinement, yet they still cooperated seamlessly as a body. During that time, the light that it emitted had filled the entire 3-D body. Not just that, it also faintly had a feeling of breaking out of the body.
Chen Rui had already accumulated considerable realization through the surfy sea and gravity training. Now, he promptly held onto this new feeling clearly. Even the few external forces that he absorbed at the Silent Night Wetland also began to combine, slowly turning into his bodyâs true strength.
âI canât believe Iâll encounter such a forthright opponent like you! Although I really enjoy a battle like this, I donât have much strength remained. Your endurance and physique are clearly stronger than me. If we continue attacking head-on, Iâll be the one losing first.â
Arux said without concealing, and it raised a commotion within the crowds: Arux actually admits that he isnât as good as Aguile!
âTo express my respect, let me use my strongest attacking skill to behead you and put an end to this battle.â
