Freydr widened her eyes when she saw the black dot. She hurriedly moved her body away as the powerful suction force appeared once again.
Bang!! Bang!!
The barriers around her crumbled into pieces.
"Shit!!"
She pulled back with all of her might.
Ohm!!
Everything was pulled and crushed into nothingness. The energy from the black hole sucked all the matter within its range with unbound might.
It was far stronger than the black hole earlier.
A huge explosion occurred as flames spread out but in the next second, it disappeared in the face of the black hole.
Bang!!
It only lasted for a few seconds before it disappeared.
Souta stared at the destruction that was caused by his spell. Anyone below Four Shackles would be crushed instantly under the might of this spell.
That's what he concluded after seeing this spectacle.
Although [Black Hole] was powerful, someone at Freydr's level still survived without even taking grave injuries. As expected of a General Vanguard, she was stronger than ordinary Four Shackles.
Well, he didn't expect that he would be able to kill a Four Shackles with just one spell.
"It's quite good." Souta nodded. He raised his eyebrows and stared at his opponent.
"Huff... Huff... Huff..."
Freydr breathed heavily and her forehead was full of sweat. Intense pain was coming from her right hand which was covered in blood. She still took some damage from that tier 3 spell.
[Holy Light of Healing]!
She clenched her fist and a golden light covered her bloody hand. In the next second, her hand turned back to normal as if nothing happened.
Souta smiled seeing the damage he gave to his opponent disappear just like that.
"Really..."
He bent his knees and launched himself at Freydr.
Swoosh!!
Freydr stepped back and waved her staff. Several rays of light were fired at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Elder Hanmi and the rest were watching the battle several kilometers away. Even though they were far, they could still feel the pressure in the atmosphere and the shockwaves from their attacks.
"A woman appeared to save that unknown man from our lord." A witch said. He looked down and he could see his hand was shaking.
"Lord Souta will win this battle. His opponent isn't as strong as the one in the central region." Elder Hanmi said.
He was clearly talking about No God Emperor. As for Draymond, Freydr was stronger than him.
Bang! Bang!!
Souta and Freydr clashed several hundreds of times.
Souta tested his current limits and after ten minutes, he almost gave up. He couldn't keep up with Freydr anymore with his current strength. Even though he got stronger, it wasn't enough if he wanted to defeat his opponent.
A General Vanguard was really strong so he had to step up his game. If it was Draymomd he would have lasted longer. His new skills were strong but the gap couldn't easily cross.
[Possession]!!
[Hunting State]!!
[Serial Killing State]!!
Souta's aura grew stronger and stronger as he activated a few of his equipment skills.
Ohm!!
Freydr also activated the equipment skills of her staff and armor. At the same time, she buffed herself with spells so that her stats would grow stronger far above Souta.
"Good... Let's take it to another level!" Souta's grin grew wider as dark and light spread out from his body, covering the whole battlefield with darkness and light.
[Dual Element Drive: Dark and Light Integration]!!
He swung his sword and blasted his opponent away. Freydr turned into a stream of light as she crashed into the ground causing massive destruction.
Ugh!!
Freydr spat a mouthful of blood as she stared above with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
"Integration Stage...?! This will be troublesome."
She gritted her teeth and her elemental power burst out like a tidal wave.
Bang!!
Her elements clashed with Souta's elements, causing the land to shake. In terms of elemental ability, she admitted that she wasn't a match to Souta.
Hers was still at Force Stage so she would hardly be able to contend with her opponent if she fought using elemental powers.
Swoosh!!
Souta flashed towards her and she stepped aside while casting several spells.
[Air Explosion]!!
[Light Lock]!!
Souta swung his sword and a burst of crimson energy blade flew out. He stepped forward before he disappeared from his position.
Freydr widened her eyes.
"He teleported?!"
She quickly turned around while swinging the staff in her hand.
Swoosh!!
Souta was behind her. He stretched his hand as blood covered his entire body turning into armor.
[Blood Armor: Great Black Orc]!!
His sudden increase in strength surprised Freydr. His hand tore through the layers of barriers around her as he grabbed her collar.
"Shit!"
Freydr cursed as she watched Souta swing the battering ram into her face.
"You can't defeat me easily!!"
She roared as a raging tide of flames appeared behind her, sweeping everything in sight.
It was a sea of flames that almost covered everything in the sky. The destructive energy of the flames even burned the blood armor around Souta's body. It engulfed everything like a hungry beast.
Boom!!
Souta gritted his teeth as he crossed his arms in front of him. He could handle the heat but the destructive energy within it was something else.
Even Draymond, who was weaker than Freydr, forced him to use some of his aces. So it's natural that he had to go all-out against a stronger opponent.
"So strong... I've finished testing my current strength. I guess it's time to end this." Souta said as he felt his entire body melting.
"Yeah, it's time to end this!" Freydr roared as she increased the firepower of her attack.
Boom!!
On the other side...
Three people were watching the battle from the mountain. These three people were from the strongest tribe in the Earthen Woods, the Tanuki Tribe.
They were watching the battle with fear in their eyes. Souta and Freydr's power was completely beyond their own.
They could see the intense sea of flames and black holes demolishing everything around it.
It was a horrifying sight for them.
"Don't worry."
The three people turned their heads and saw a woman with a veil covering her face walk in front of them.
"Milady..." The three said at the same time.
This woman was the Chief of the Tanuki Tribe, Ezchi.
Ezchi stopped in front as she stared at the battle with her arms crossed in front of her chest.
She slowly opened her mouth and said, "It's a natural reaction when facing an existence beyond your own. This is a battle between two powerful beings. You can't control the reaction of your body in front of such power. It's instinct."
The vibration in the air was too high. Every second, it feels as if the entire space was trembling under the might of those two beings.
Ezchi narrowed her eyes.
'Still... Blood Lightning Monster and a General Vanguard... It seems that the Holy Lands have started moving.'
She turned her head in a certain west.
'Beimun Empire will eventually learn this information. I needed to move my tribe soon since they will not tolerate this kind of action from the Holy Lands.'
Beimun Empire was situated in the west of the Hall Plains. It was a Large Country and the public knew that two god-rank powerhouses were protecting it.
Aside from Beimun Empire, there was another Large Country beyond the south of the Hall Plains.
These two Large Countries would undoubtedly react if they learned that another faction sent a bunch of their soldiers near their territory. They haven't even touched the Hall Plains since it was like a boundary that divided their land yet someone wants to take it.
'I don't need to wait for their reaction... I will prepare as soon as possible since there's a possibility that this place will become a battlefield for high-level experts.'
Ezchi said inwardly.
There was a possibility that the two Large Countries would ignore the Hall Plains but it was small since Asgard had already involved themselves in this land.
The two Large Countries probably didn't either any of the Holy Lands to get their hands on the Hall Plains. Who knows where they would stretch their hands once they've finished the Hall Plains.
'But I thought that the Holy Lands would've concluded to let this piece of land in the hands of Olympus, specifically the being who stopped No God Emperor. It seems that it wasn't the case anymore after the General Vanguard appeared.'
Boom!!
A loud explosion occurred.
Ezchi stared at the battlefield and muttered, "It seems that the battle has concluded."
The three people looked at their chief before they turned their heads at the battlefield.
Ezchi turned around and added, "Blood Lightning Monster is as strong as the rumors said, no, he is stronger than those rumors."
In the distance...
Souta was floating in the sky with a sword in his hand. The wound on his body instantly disappeared as he stared coldly at his opponent who was laying on the ground.
