"Oh, someone with strength has finally appeared... Are you the strongest expert in this city?" Drayrin looked at Elder Guan with interest.

Elder Guan didn't answer. Instead, he observed the man in front of him and the other man who was holding Yenxa. He was wondering how he could save Yenxa from these two powerful experts.

"You're too serious. Then, let me see how you react after I do this!" Drayrin suddenly charged forward. He raised both of his hands which were covered in blueish light and heavily swung it down at the same time.

Swoosh!!

A blue ray shot out, sweeping the ground with destructive force.

Seeing this, Elder Guan hurriedly summoned his soul weapon. It was a small pill and he placed it in his mouth. It was a pill that would give him the stats similar to any dark grade artifacts.

He crossed both of his hands and a huge energy broke out of his body. Elder Guan dashed ahead and collided with the blue ray to prevent it from causing any more destruction.

Bang!!

The impact caused a ripple in the air. It sucked everything before it spread out like a shockwave.

The winds howled wildly as Elder Guan used several combat arts to boost his strength. He continued to charge while deflecting the blue ray to the sky.

"You have some skills. I didn't think I would meet someone as capable as you in this city..." Drayrin smiled as he imbued more energy in his attack.

"Ugh!" Elder Guan gritted his teeth as he endured the power of the blue ray.

"Well, if you're part of Souta's group then it's understandable," Drayrin said as he pushed his hand forward. His energy flared up to the maximum pushing Elder Guan away.

Bang!!

Elder Guan was blown away and crashed into several buildings. He felt a numbing sensation all over his body. Despite using his soul weapons and combat art, the enemy still managed to blast him.

There were only a few people in his world that could fight him squarely yet in Imperium there were a lot of them. This wasn't a world where he could fight top experts easily.

Ugh!

Elder Guan coughed a mouthful of blood. He looked ahead and saw that Drayrin was slowly approaching me.

"This is dangerous... I never thought that there was a dangerous enemy in this place. Why did they want to take Yenxa?"

He stood up and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth.

"You can't defeat me. Just accept death like a dog." Draynin said as he raised his hand and gathered a huge amount of mana.

Suddenly, Drayrin turned his head as he felt something. The next second, a sea of flame fell down from the sky, devouring the entire land. It was followed by a powerful roar that shook the ground.

Elder Guan didn't waste his time as he grabbed ahold of this opportunity. He quickly used [Element Drive] to maximize his strength to the limit as he charged forward.

Swoosh!!

His figure kept blurring as he moved in the direction of Yenxa. But before he could even approach her, Drayrin appeared beside him.

"Do you really think that level of fire is enough to hold me back?" Drayrin asked.

Elder Guan was shocked. Even after using [Element Drive], this guy was able to catch up with him. This level of speed was insane. Elder Guan realized that he wouldn't be able to outrun this guy so he swung his hand.

"That's it." Drayrin smiled as he lifted his hand and deflected the punch. Then, he clenched his fist and delivered a heavy blow to Elder Guan's stomach.

Bang!

Elder Guan was pushed away but he steadied himself. He looked up and saw a huge figure descending at high speed.

"Yuko?" Elder Guan muttered.

Drayrin also looked up and saw a flaming bear falling in his direction. A smile formed on his face as he threw a punch toward the incoming bear.

Boom!!

The collision shook the ground as cracks spread out like a spider web. The flames scattered around and burned dozens of houses.

Elder Guan took a deep breath as his body transformed in a blink of an eye. Strings of silver-colored flesh covered his whole body and several tentacle-like things sprouted on his back.

Yuko also used her parasite and everything that she had got. Elder Guan and Yuko fought Drayrin fiercely. Their speed was unbelievably fast and their power shook and devastated the area around them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hundreds of buildings were destroyed in just a few minutes. The whole area turned into a hell of fire as Yuko used her maximum firepower against Drayrin. In the end, she could only support Elder Guan in a battle as Drayrin's power was clearly above her.

Drayrin looked at Yuko with interest in his eyes. "You're suitable too but not as good as the perfect one. You can make a good substitute."

"Stop talking shit!!" Elder Guan roared as he put all of his might in his fist. He threw it and Drayrin faced it without fear in his eyes.

"Interesting. Let me see what you've got." Drayrin smiled as he threw him a punch.

Boom!!

Ragnis, who captured Yenxa, looked at the battle before his eyes. He was unfazed at the aftershocks of the fierce battle.

"Hey, finish this quickly. I got the perfect one and I think that the greatest threat is coming. They are gonna start using the energy from Blood Sacrifice. We need to get out of here as soon as possible." Ragnis said with a bored look.

Drayrin smiled as he glanced at Yuko and Elder Guan while dodging their attacks. "You hear that. I'm gonna finish this so prepare yourself."

Elder Guan opened his eyes widely. Goosebumps assaulted his body as he detected a very high amount of energy exploded from Drayrin's body.

The next moment, Drayrin was already beside him and Yuko was thrown far away in the city. Her paw rolled in the air, spilling blood everywhere.

"Yuko...?!" Elder Guan muttered in disbelief.

Before Elder Guan could even react, he felt intense pressure all over his body. In an instant, he was smashed into the ground creating a deep crater with a diameter of a hundred meters.

Ugh!

He spat a mouthful of blood and saw that both of his legs were gone. Elder Guan used the ability of the parasite to grow another pair of legs.

Cough... Cough...

Elder Guan looked tired as he stared at Drayrin who was hovering in the air. He felt a numbing sensation all over his body and his eyelids felt heavy.

Is this it...?

Am I gonna die like this?

I...

Elder Guan slowly turned his head. A huge fluctuation of energy was rising in the distance.

"Yuko... You...?"

Elder Guan gritted his teeth as he forced himself to stand. Blood gushed out of his wounds and the parasite quickly stopped the bleeding.

Drayrin moved his eyes away from Elder Guan. Even Ragnis, who was bored, stared into the distance. The energy fluctuation was rising nonstop.

"To think that it will try to evolve in this situation. Isn't this asking for death? Anyways, let's end this farce." Drayrin raised his palm.

Dots of light formed around him and gathered around his palm. The dots of light turned into a small ball of energy. It expanded and shrank every second as the energy in the atmosphere swirled around it like a hurricane.

"Trying to evolve. It wouldn't work even if she successfully evolve. It's too low." Ragnis said as he too observed the situation. In his understanding, there's no way a newly evolve fourth stage could fight them. Even if that fourth stage could match Drayrin, he was still here. He was stronger by a huge margin.

"Damn, I have to move..." Elder Guan gritted his teeth. He forced his entire body to move.

'If I'm gonna die then at least I have to...' Elder Guan looked in the direction where he could feel the energy of Yuko. His eyes were burning with intense determination.

"Take this... This is my gift." Drayrin said softly as the energy in his palm exploded and shot into the distance.

[Catastrophe Blast]!!

The energy blast destroyed everything in its path. The ground was split into two as the beam continued to move forward without stopping. In fact, it even sped up and gained more power.

Swoosh!!

Suddenly, a silhouette of a man appeared in front of the beam. The man raised both of his hands as he tried to block or deflect the powerful blast of energy.

It was Elder Guan.

"ARGHHH!!!"

Elder Guan groaned in pain as wounds appeared on his body before it disappeared in the next second. This cycle continued as the beam grew stronger and stronger.

If it wasn't for the parasite he would have collapsed a long time ago. Elder Guan was really amazed by the regenerative ability of the parasite.

"It's like he is immortal," Drayrin said and he put more force into his attack.

Boom!!

Elder Guan was pushed back and he was swallowed by the energy blast.

I... At least want to meet young miss... I hope that...
