As for the rest of the people, Souta didn't care about them. If they survive, they survive. If they die, then they die. The most important thing to him right now was fighting the guardian. It's making his blood boil. This was the main dish that he wanted.
The old man called Elder Monbi couldn't even match those ordinary squad leaders of Athen's Champion. He was basically a fodder in Two Shackles Realm. He was outclassed in all stats. At this point, Souta believed that even the so-called Grand Elder was just slightly weaker than a squad leader.
In short, Souta could dismantle the entire Spring Land even if they combined their forces with just his Second Mode alone.
Souta stared down as he saw the space distorted. It twisted horribly as a powerful aura surged out into the area.
"There is another alternate space?! Or maybe is it prepared as the home of the guardian?"
He narrowed his eyes as he felt that there was another hidden space behind that distorted space. He could feel that it wasn't the space of the main dimension where the Imperium resides.
The twisted space opened like a mouth and a gigantic creature appeared. It was a ten-meter-tall creature wearing pitch-black full-body armor with a huge sword hanging on its back.
"A golem..."
Its gigantic body was full of runes. Each one exudes a powerful energy that fully enhances the fighting abilities of the golem. This one was called [Darkness Guardian].
"My base isn't enough so I'll increase my power a little bit..."
Souta's aura skyrocketed as he activated his Second Mode. His overwhelming power was released to this world. He guessed that he didn't need to hold back against this golem.
He was going to thoroughly enjoy fighting this one.
The guardian didn't even look at other people. Instead, he focused his attention on the person who was trying to acquire the key. He was programmed to protect the key from anyone at all costs. That was the only thing on his mind.
He grabbed the huge sword on his back and charged forward.
Swoosh!!
The guardian quickly arrived in front of the barrier around Alexander. He swung his sword with the intention to shatter the barrier and kill the person inside. It was a simple yet decisive attack.
Bang!!
Souta appeared in front and blocked the slash using the vajra sword. He felt his hand turning numb just by blocking that attack.
"This guy... Even though he is suppressed by the gravity field and dark mist, he still could throw a powerful slash like that. What if he isn't suppressed at all? His power will increase greatly."
Souta spun in mid-air before he kicked the chest of the guardian. Then, he shot several energy blades in his direction.
[Crimson Moon]!!
BOOM!!!
A powerful explosion erupted. Elder Monbi and the sandworm who were closer were blown away. The shockwave alone made the entire place tremble. It was as if this whole place was going to collapse.
"N-No... W-What is this?!" Elder Monbi was trembling.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. The power of the male-looking golem and the humanoid monster was beyond his imagination. Even Grand Elder and Patriarch were nothing compared to these two.
"T-There's no way someone at this level on Spring Land?!! Don't tell me they come from a large country?!!!"
He was losing his mind. He offended the humanoid monster so if this monster attacked the Thunder Hall... They... They would be gone in just a single night. They didn't have the power to defend themselves against such monsters.
BOOM!!
Another explosion erupted. The whole area was pulverized in the blink of an eye.
Souta was blown away as blood flowed out of his mouth. The difference in strength was clear as day and night. The guardian was simply stronger than him even with his Second Mode.
In just two blows, his Second Mode was directly suppressed.
"If Second Mode isn't enough then I'll just use this..."
Souta grinned as dark and light burst out of him. It shot upward in the dark clouds causing the thunder cries. At the same time, the blood of the dead sandworms floated in the mid-air.
The atmosphere greatly changed and everyone could feel it. It was as if someone was gripping their hearts directly.
Rumble!
"This... Dark and light elements..." Casti stared at the two opposite energies. She was from the Night Light Association and she also had affinities to two elements.
But it was different this time... It felt like if she used elemental power of dark or light, that monster would be able to suppress her directly.
"This is [Element Drive]!"
Casti suddenly noticed that her strength came back to her body. Despite that, she still couldn't properly stand due to the energy pressure of the golem and the humanoid monster.
Suddenly, everything turned quiet. She turned her head and saw droplets of blood floating in the mid-air. The dark and light shone brightly as if the entire world came to a standstill.
The next moment, everything turned heavy and it forced Casti's head to the sand.
"What is that?!"
The last thing she saw was the countless dots of light in the dark clouds before she lost consciousness. The pressure knocked her out. Even a powerful expert like her couldn't even withstand the energy of the two.
[Dual Element Drive: Dark and Light Force]!!
[Armored Scale Formation]!!
Souta's body was covered in armor. Then, blood seeped out from the gaps and it transformed into another layer of armor before fusing together. The color turned black as Souta felt that his body was forcefully twisted causing him to groan.
"ARGHH!"
He gritted his teeth as his blood seeped out of his pores. The black transformed into dark armor that covered his entire body. Blood and flesh covered the vajra sword. They entangled together turning into some sort of huge mace that fitted his current size. A pair of blood-red eyes gleamed under the black helmet. He grew taller, turning into a four-meter giant savage monster.
[Blood Armor: Great Black Orc]!!
This was completely different from his [Blood Armor: Jade Spider]. That one enhanced his abilities especially his thread-forming trait to the limit. This one was the same except for the thread-forming trait. Also, the strength it possessed was greater than his previous armor transformation.
Great Black Orc boasted its great strength and high endurance. Right now, Souta gained those characteristics by tapping deep inside him.
"Let's try it!"
Souta swung the mace in his hand. The guardian also swung his weapon. Both of their attacks collided causing a ripple in the air. Shockwaves exploded sweeping out everything.
BOOM!!
Thunder rumbled violently as black lightning rained down. The sunny scenery before the battle was nowhere to be seen anymore.
It was like a super typhoon had descended on the entire desert. A natural disaster that no one could prevent. The whole land was shifting creating a huge valley in every direction.
The creatures outside the desert couldn't help but turn their heads. They could feel the massive energy fluctuations roaring in the direction of the desert. They could also see the vast and thick dark clouds looming above the land. It was destruction incarnate that would demolish everything in sight.
Even in outer space a person could see dark clouds covering the entirety of desert. If one would remove the clouds, the forming valley would be visible. It was so huge that they would see cracks desert outside the planet.
BANG!!
Elder Monbi watched everything in horror. He was still alive because of his high power level. For the rest of his people, he didn't know if they were alive. In this disaster, he didn't even know if he could survive so he didn't have a time to worry about the others.
He should worry about his safety first.
"W-What is this?!" Elder Monbi muttered with a pale look. "N-No, the entire desert... H-How...? This desert should be as large as Spring Land! No, this isn't Imperium! We're not in Imperium!"
Since they weren't in Imperium, this world couldn't handle the strength of higher level creatures. The density of mana was so low that it got easily pushed away by the energy coming from the two fighters.
"Huh?"
Elder Monbi saw a huge figure heading in this direction. In the next moment, the giant figure heavily landed on his position. He didn't even have a time to dodge it as the armored golem crashed onto him like a meteorite.
Bang!!
Souta chased after the guardian. He leaped forward before swinging the mace in his hand. The guardian blocked the attack but the land beneath was split open. It collapses instantly due to the heavy force that it received.
[Fifth Form: Rage of the Thunder God]!!
The guardian raised his sword as the various runes around his body shone brightly. A shield formed around him as the black lightning heavily smashed the shield.
Bang!!
