Legacy Of Fire: Chronicles Of The F-ranked Anomaly-Chapter 34: The Indomitable Spirit Triumphs

Slav was looking at Darius, a smile forming on his face. He began laughing maniacally, holding his head as he couldn’t control his laughter. "Such an indomitable spirit! I am enjoying this even more! You managed to scare me a bit, I will honor you!"

Slav took off his robe armour, revealing his divine physique, scales running down from his neck to his back. Slav spread his hands, looking at Darius.

"I will show you the true strength of a basilisk sage! I, Slav The Greed, 12th scholar of the Ouroboros, will fight you with my full power!"

Darius was looking at Slav. Most of his bones were broken due to the hits he had collected from Slav. He was looking at the monster in front of him, and he was too broken to even fight.

He opens up his inventory, takes one of the Etherglow Elixirs, and drinks it.

{Warning! Due to the damage, the body can only be healed by 5o%}

’That is going to be more than enough, I am not going to waste this chance.’ Darius took his stance, keeping his eyes on Slav.

Both of them stood there waiting for one to move. Slav smiled as he dashed for Darius with immense speed.

Darius didn’t waste time dashing after him; he charged up his energy gauntlets as he raced toward Slav. Their collision shook the very foundations of the temple, with the supporting pillars trembling and the floor feeling like a miniature earthquake.

Darius’s gaunlets shattered upon impact, and the sheer force nearly broke his arm.

Slav was shocked to see that Darius was able to stand even after they collided like that. "How impressive! One would have thought you would have died from that. I want to see more."

Slav drags Darius in. Putting both his arms together, he strikes Darius to the ground.

"Just as I thought, you are still weak!" Slav smiled, but in the blink of an eye, Darius sprung up from the floor. He clung to Slav’s upper body, taking his head back. He delivers a headbutt directly to Slav’s nose.

The Basilisk Sage pushed Darius off. He cleaned his nose, looking at the man in front of him, and he was nothing like the Darius he was facing moments before.

"What is this look in your eye, child? What happened to you?" Slav was looking at Darius; he was not sure what was going on, but he knew that there was something off about it all.

Darius was looking at him, he was not going to back down. "You made one mistake, Slav."

"Please enlighten me, child. Tell me what I did do wrong so I can correct it and make sure that I kill you as soon as possible." Slav kept an eerie smile on his face.

Darius pointed at him, rage burning in his eyes. "You killed Lena in that illusion of yours! I am not going to stand for it. Even if it is a dream or an illusion, I will protect Lena!"

Slav couldn’t believe his ears, he was looking at a mortal who was motivated by what he saw in the chamber of despair.

He broke into laughter; he couldn’t hold himself. "You are something, child; I will give you that. But don’t worry, as a gift from me to you, I will make sure you relive that nightmare even if you are dead." Slav took a fighting stance. He put his hand forward, looking at Darius.

"Now, come here!"

Darius felt something pulling him towards Slav, he couldn’t hold himself.

{Warning! Slav has activated- Unique Skill- Dominion Over Matter, this allows to telepathicly control any object or beings that a bit weaker than him.}

’Damn it! He is pulling me in!’ Darius tried to stand his ground, but the force from Slav was pulling him in. ’You know what? Let him pull me in!’

Darius let himself go, letting Slav pull him close, but when he was close to him.

{Dragon Blast Activated!}

Darius aimed for Slav’s face. The basilisk sage tried to block the attack, but he was not fast enough. It dented him.

Slav stood there; he then saw a scale fall from his face. Showing that Darius had wounded him.

Rage poured from Slav’s soul, he turned to Darius. "You Bastard!" Slav let out a shrieking roar that shook the temple.

Darius fell to his kneels. he was looking at the monster, and he could see that he had done something to him.

{Warning! Slav has Activated Unique Skill- Wails Of Despair- Skill Disoreients Opponents With Weaker Will!}

Darius slowly got up from the ground, he didn’t seem affected by the skill anymore; he stood there looking at Slav.

"Now who told you I have a weaker will!" Darius let out a roar that countered Slav’s roar; the collision wave from their roars destroyed the roof of the temple, sending rocks down towards the two.

Slav couldn’t believe what he was seeing, he had never seen a mortal that would have survived that. When he looked closer, he could see the aura of a great dragon covering Darius.

He pointed at him, filled with rage and anger. "How can you, a mere mortal, be chosen by the great one to inherit his power?! You are nothing but an INSECT!"

Slav, using his telekinetic abilities, sent two rocks at Darius, but Darius stopped them, keeping his eyes locked on Slav.

"You underestimate insects, Slav!" Darius crushed the rocks; he dashed for Slav, closing the distance as he leaped up into the air. "Some insects can deliver killer blows too!"

Darius, using his hand in the form of a hammer, struck Slav on the head, and the basilisk sage went on to kneel.

’Impossible, there is no way for a mortal to best me like this!’ Slav let out another roar, pushing Darius back. Not wasting time, Slav sent rocks for Darius.

But Darius was faster, he dodged them with so precision as he was trying his best to make sure that he was going to deliver a blow to end the fight.

{Evolved Skill Unlocked! Dragon’s Bullet!}

Darius closed the distance, he was looking at Slav face to face.

’Activate!’

Darius let out the same blast he used to shatter Slav’s basilisk form, but it was more evolved, making it faster and deadlier!

The blast hit Slav on the face, leaving him with a huge scar. The basilisk sage grabbed Darius, holding him close.

"I will crush you like the bug you are!" Slav yelled as he tried to crush Darius’s bones.

Darius let out a scream of pain, he couldn’t do anything to push Slav away. He looked at the monster, and the soft part he could see was his nose. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Darius sank his teeth into Slav’s scaled nose, biting down so hard that he managed to wrench a chunk off. Slav threw Darius away. His cries echoed through the ruined temple. Darius spat the flesh on the floor as he watched the enraged basilisk sage hold his mutilated face.

"What in the world is it with this mortal?!" Slav was looking at Darius, and he couldn’t tell if he was dealing with a human or a monster.

Darius cleaned his mouth as he was looking at Slav. He had a more sinister smile on his face.

"You should have stayed in your serpent form; you took a human form, so you have many openings." Darius looked at Slav; he was not giving up there.

Slav, in pure rage, locked his eyes with Darius. "You! I will make sure that I kill you!"

{Warning! Slav Has Activated Absolute Domion Over Matter! The evolved Skill- He can target a creature and crush it.}

"I need to end him with his move." Darius put his hand into the inventory and pulled out the red cobra blade, The sword was glowing bright red, reacting to Darius’ power.

"Why don’t you pull me close and end me? You scared I will bite something else off?!"

Darius was taunting Slav, he was prepared for the fight. He began running towards Slav. "Now, show me what you got, you ugly, disgusting serpent man!"

Slav couldn’t hold in his anger again; he began sending rocks for Darius. Using his powers, he crushed them into spears, sending them towards Darius.

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Slav yelled as he kept sending the spears for Darius, who seemed to be going towards Slav faster. The spears managed to graze him, but he was still going for Slav.

{Warning! Health And Mana Levels Dangerously Low!}

Darius didn’t think much about it, he knew if he didn’t deliver that blow, then he would be the one to die.

"I promised you this, Slav!" Darius leaped in front of Slav, the blade was in his hand. "I am going to bury you in this temple!"

"DIE LOWLY MORTAL!" Slav raised his hand to deliver a blow on the sword, not knowing it was not normal metal. The sword tore through his hand, letting Darius get an opportunity to stab him in the heart, directly pinning him down.

As the blade plunged into Slav, he could feel the sharp pain. Looking up, he could see Darius charging up for an attack.

’How could I lose to a mortal?! This isn’t possible! He was weak, and there was no way for him to even stand against me!’

{Dragon’s bullet Activated!}

"Now go to hell!" Darius jumped up before releasing the skill on Slav, delivering a powerful blow.

{You Have Defeated Slav The Greed!}
