Chapter 53: Trial Of Fire- Final Blows, Fire Falls Chaos Stands!

’Darius, due to the mutation, your body might wear out soon! Make it fast and don’t fail!’ Azree warned.

{Mana- 15,000/25,999}

Darius pulled Ve’xa out of the inventory, a withered smile on his face.

"Don’t worry Azree, I am not going to let this ugly fire man take me down!"

The young warrior watched as the lava cocoon began falling apart, revealing Pryion covered in what seemed to be red hot scales in the form of an armor, and Isakador had split into two blades. His crimson pupils were gone, and a hollowed-out cornea could be seen; he stood seven feet tall with a stronger aura than before.

"Sheesh, you look ugiler than before. I thought you were going to get a makeover." Darius mocked as he took his stance, knowing that there was no way to predict what the knight would do.

Pryion tilted his head, looking at the young warrior. "You would have had a better chance of surviving in your feral form. Worry not, I will be sure you will perish!"

"I thought knights were meant to be chivalrous? That’s too cold, and you are on fire!" Darius launched for the knight, he swung Ve’xa for the knight.

"Scatter Ve’xa!"

The blade scattered into seven segments, the debole launching for Pryion striking into his body. Pryion moved back a bit before pulling the chain that connected the blade’s segments, dragging Darius to himself.

"Predictable!" Darius let himself be pulled to the knight; once close to his face, he let out a blood-curdling shriek.

{Unique Skill- Cries Of The Fallen Sage Activated!}

Pryion was forced to wave one his blade, it connected with Darius.

Clang!

The strike sent Darius crashing into the walls, causing a huge hole there. The young warrior, grunting out pain, stood up, but then he noticed something.

He placed his hand on the place where Pryion had struck him, and he couldn’t feel anything.

’Even though the control of the feral side was shaken off, parts of the mutation remain. The hardness of the salamandrian scales make a tough armor.’ Azree pointed out what Darius was thinking.

The warrior smiled as he got up, shaking off the rubble on his body.

"If that’s still here, then it mean-!" Darius took a running stance, locking his gaze on Pryion. He dashed for the knight at an intense speed.

Pryion raised his hand, looking at Darius. "Burn!" The knight yelled. A huge ball of flames erupted, covering the entire side Darius was coming from.

"Not fast as I thought, knighty!" Darius was behind Pryion. He jumped up, grabbing Pryion’s face and lunging his knee into it.

The knight struck him back again, but this time, he took Darius by the leg, smashing him into the floor.

"You choose not to die!" Pryion cried as he tried to strike the warrior with his blade. But Darius managed to wiggle himself free from the knight’s burning grip.

"I won’t let you escape!" Pryion roared as a fire followed his taunting cry.

Darius managed to maneuver his way out of the flames, but his shirt was gone. A cruel smile on his face, he used his telekinetic ability to pull Ve’xa to his hand.

Once the swords handle was in his hand. Darius pulled it, the debole was still stuck in Pryion’s side.

The knight saw the sword stuck to his side and yanked it off, the blade coiled back to its normal state.

"Such an unorthodox way of fighting, chaotic down to the core!" The knight leaped for Darius.

The young warrior was looking at the knight as he charged for him.

"Ve’xa release!" Darius yelled as he swung his blade again. The blade let out a wave of pure heat, pushing Pryion back.

The young warrior struggled to stand, looking at the knight get back on his feet.

{Mana- 12,500/25,999}

’Darius, if you keep using that blade, you will exhaust your mana!’ Azree warned.

Darius could feel the toll of the mutation coming, he knew that if he wasn’t fast with it, then he might lose the fight and his life.

Pryion stood up, looking at the warrior. Like something was whispering to him, he knew that Darius was going to fall soon.

"I wonder why you keep fighting. What is it that urges you to fight me? You are an insignificant mortal who shall fall to the blade!" Pryion raised his blade. "Fall! Mighty Pillar Of Aeres!"

Suddenly, a pillar of flames fell on Darius, pinning him to the ground as it tried to burn him to a crisp.

"Ahhhh!" Darius could feel the intense heat from the attack; not even his mutated skin could save him. Using sheer force, he pushed himself out of the attack’s range.

But Pryion had managed to catch up to him; he pulled the warrior by the neck, raising him to his face.

"Geez... you’re ugiler up front!" Darius muffled out, the knight’s hands burning through his skin, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Why do you fight so much?! Why do you struggle even when you know there is only death for you?!" The knight asked as he gazed into Darius’s memory. There he saw Lena and Darius, he could see why the mortal still persevered.

"Oh, a little girl? Don’t worry; she will be with you in the afterlife. She has been tainted by the foul powers of chaos."

"What did you say?!" Darius snapped, he took his hand back before piercing it into the Knight’s eye, breaking free from his chokehold.

"Argh!" The Knight yelled as he held his mutilated eye, "You will pay for this!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Pryion yelled as he stood erect, only to be met with a blow of sheer force.

{Phantom Strike Activated!}

Darius threw two powerful blows, pushing Pryion back. "You are the one going to die here!"

{Dragon’s Whip Activated!}

The warrior then clapped his hands together, releasing an even lethal shockwave. Sending Pryion into the walls, the knight grunted as he collided with the concrete walls.

"You.... have tainted Aeres’s temple for too long!" Pryion stood up, golden blood bleeding out of the eye socket Darius had taken. He took his blade up, and he released slash after slash, trying to cut down Darius. "Blades Of Flame!"

Each Slash had a powerful wave of heat, powerful enough to melt steel. Darius barely dodged it all, taking one hit to his groin. The sharp pain from the heat was all he felt as the salmandrian armor managed to protect him.

Darius looked up at the knight; both of them were mutilated and broken. But they weren’t backing down!

"I am running low on mana, but I am going to bring you down with this!" The young warrior dashed towards the knight.

{ Unique Skill: Domain Of The New Dragon Sage Activated!}

Suddenly, both of them were covered in a dark, eerie dimension with horrifying dragons flying around. Darius’s eyes were glowing bright red, a deadly smile on his face.

{Domain Of The New Dragon Sage- Inside this domain, the user has total control of his mana and physical attacks, amplifying his strength by four times. The opponent has lost all mana-based attacks and can only fight with physical attacks. The Domain can last only three minutes!}

"What have you done?!" Pryion looked around, he noticed that he couldn’t even use his flames. "How did you take Aeres’s flame from me?!"

"Let’s dance!" Darius launched for the knight, delivering powerful blows on the champion.

Each blow felt like an earthquake. Pryion kicked Darius back. He didn’t waste time to launch for the warrior. Trying to use his brute power to crush the warrior.

Darius freed himself, he jumped back looking at the Knight. With a crazy smile on his face, he was not done yet.

He began using his phantom strike to hit the knight back; he sent blow after blow, renforcing it with his speed and strength. Darius sent more than five blows, each of them having the force of three cannon balls on impact, causing the knight to bleed out of his mouth.

The young warrior didn’t stop; he kept throwing punches as he yelled from his heart.

"Ahhh! Just die already!"

{Phantom Strike Evolved- Unique Skill: Phantom Barrage!}

Pryion couldn’t handle the attacks coming at an abnormal speed, shattering his armor.

Darius kept yelling till blood could be seen following his soul-breaking scream.

{One minute left!}

Darius had worn out his arms with the phantom barrage; he dashed for the knight, raising his left hand.

"Revered Pull!" He yelled as he ran. From nowhere, the red cobra blade came to his grip. He leaped for Pryion, plunging the blade into Knight’s shoulder.

Pryion felt the pain as Darius pulled out the blade and stabbed him again and again!

{Times Up! Domain Dispersed!}

The knight felt his mana come back. Using his strength, he held Darius there. "Burn! Insignificant mortal!"

Pryion’s body erupted into flames as he tried to burn Darius; our young warrior screamed out in pain. Enduring the pain of his skin burning off, he used his head to ram into the Knight’s face. As he kicked himself up into the air.

Darius used his revered pull to bring Ve’xa to his hand, his eyes on Pryion. He launched the blade into the knight’s side, piercing his armor.

"You think this will kill me?!" Pryion yelled. The knight stomped his feet to the floor as he sent a powerful blast for Darius. The Blast shattered Darius’s left leg, but our young warrior, keeping his eyes on the knight, ignoring the pain from his leg, ran for him.

Once at his groin, Darius released one of his most lethal attacks.

{Dragon Bullet Activated!}

The bullet connected, causing a hole in Pryion’s lower body. Darius charged his right hand with all the energy he had, leaping into the air.

"Fall Champion Of Fire!" Darius yelled as he struck Pryion in the face, shattering the bones in his right arm. The shockwave from the punch caused a massive crater in the temple. Dust from the fight covered both of them. As it cleared up, we could see our valiant young warrior standing over the body of the fallen knight.

The champion of fire had been bested!
