The Demon Monarch System-Chapter 565: Sovereign’s Avatar Form, Strengthened Disasters (I)

Sovereign's Avatar Form, Strengthened Disasters (I)

---- 1

The one to lead the assault after witnessing the true power of Az'kazak's Death Command was Hakkur. His Avatar Form was similar to Soren in that many symbol appeared around his body while an exquisite spear materialized in his hand. Unlike Soren's form, however, a violent tempest with crackles and golden lightning surfaced around Hakkur's body as his expression grew increasingly wild.

A sharp aura continued to climb around his body and his expression seemed to resemble an apex predator locked on their prey. In the next moment, Hakkur lifted his spear-wielding arm while rotating his wrist. This movement resulted in an enormous spear blast comprised of lethal lightning and winds spiraling around an unusual spear aura.

Compared to any strike Soren unleashed before, Hakkur's attack seemed capable of ending the world! The feeling linked to his attack was simply horrendous. Even some of the nearby soldiers were forced to create some space unless they wanted to suffer from the attack's aftermath.

However, Az'kayzak remained motionless while watching the spear blast pierce through the atmosphere at insane speeds. He twirled the scythe in his possession before nonchalantly striking it down. An arc of condensed death energy followed by the images of many phantoms impacted against the spear blast.

An eerie took place, persisting for a single second when a frightening explosion suddenly occurred. The resulting explosion created a huge crater between Az'kayzak and Hakkur from which a stream of essence seemed to gush out endlessly. The attack was so ridiculously strong that it punctured the planet on a subterranean level!

"Surely this isn't the extent of my former opponents? Can't you unleash something more powerful than this?" Az'kayzak said with a faint chuckle. He felt it was too easy to deal with Hakkur's attack. What he wanted was a worthwhile fight since he was forced to sit out all battles for countless years.

"Come on now. You think that's all I have in my arsenal? This is just the warm-up," Hakkur answered back. A faint smile appeared across his face while numerous symbols on both his body and exquisite lit up in quick succession. Soon enough, more than fifteen symbols shared between his weapon and body light up in unison.

They all carried a unique color, which also produced a unique sensation. The tempest from earlier reappeared but in greater strength. Followed by its appearance, Hakkur exhaled, but the sound of his breaking wasn't too far off from sounding like an earthquake in his chest.

"Astral Spear: Tempest Barrage," Hakkur said in a low voice. The spear in his hand vibrated subtly when Hakkur executed countless strikes within an instant. In Az'kayzak's eyes, it seemed like each of Hakkur's movements were building on the last since the singular tempest divided into two, until the number reached the towards.

Immediately after, the tempests condensed into spears aimed directly at Az'kayzak! For the first time, his face showed some expression as a thousand of these spears seemed difficult to deal with. At least, that's how the situation should have unraveled.

Despite how devastating Hakkur's attack felt to everyone in the area, Az'kayzak vanished and reappeared over 300 meters away with the help of a specter-like movement technique. His body seemed to blend with Death Essence in the air, allowing him to materialize his body a great distance away from the original spot.

With a calm spot claimed, Az'kayzak gathered an absurd amount of Death Essence at the tip of his scythe. By the time, Hakkur's attack arrived at his new position, Az'kayzak tapped the tip of his scythe against the ground, sending a fluctuation of deathly energy deep inside the surface.

As a result, numerous eruptions of Death Essence mixed with shocking flames burst through the ground, destroying many of the spears that came in contact with the eruption. As for the spears that didn't get touched by the eruptions, Az'kayzak handled those personally.

His scythe snaked around his body as a result of Az'kayzak unusual wielding style. Each movement incited a wisp of Death Energy to zap a spear out of the sky. Thus, a scene of one individual singlehandedly handling a relentless barrage of spears created a sight that shouldn't be so mystifying.

After all, Az'kayzak was the enemy. It wasn't the time to marvel at his power. Sadly, most couldn't help it because they simulated this scenario by replacing Az'kayzak with themselves. Needless to say, no matter who performed this, they didn't see how they could emerge victorious in this seemingly endless barrage of spears

Even more frightening was the fact that Az'kayzak grinned throughout the entire ordeal. He didn't even seem pressured by Hakkur's attack! Naturally, Hakkur took notice of Az'kayzak's unperturbed attributed and narrowed his eyes.

'Oh? Is this some time of joke to him? Very well, enough of the long-distance attacks,' Hakkur inwardly thought. In the next moment, a crevasse split open the earth as Hakkur dashed forward, cutting through any and all obstacles that stood in his way.

Thus, Hakkur reached Az'kayzak in mere moments. However, before attacking, he snapped his finger and recalled the remaining spears. The leftover energy surged towards the spear in his hand, forming a riveting energy exterior.

"Interesting, interesting. So you've decided to meet me head-on. But the question remains–are you strong enough to do so? You shouldn't take up a monumental task that is beyond you," Az'kayzak said playfully.

His words caused a sharp gleam to arise within Hakkur's eyes. It had been quite some time since his emotions were stimulated this much and it showed by the violent reaction of his energy. It strengthened three times over as he executed a frightening piercing strike.

Even Az'kayzak felt this attack would cause some trouble for him. So rather than defend against it directly, Az'kayzak's torso moved unnaturally, almost as if he possessed malleable bones or no bones at all, either way, he dodged the strike before returning an attack of his own.

In contrast, Hakkur didn't avoid the attack. The astral energies provided by the Avatar Form intensified around Hakkur as he met Az'kayzak's strike. A destructive ripple filtered throughout the battlefield, kicking up debris and large rocks as a result.

Despite this outcome, the two sides continued to exchange attacks at a rapidly increasing frequency. Soon enough, they were unleashing hundreds of strikes every few seconds. Of course, the bizarre amount of attacks were far from enough to put an indent in their energy reserves.

Both the energy reserves of a Sovereign-level character and Az'kayzak were not to be overlooked. Even Soren, Solomon, and Valerie fighting together at once weren't enough to make a Sovereign become serious. That's how large the chasm between a Saint and Sovereign is. They were two different realms of power.

Meanwhile, Tiberius and Gideon's expressions showed some change after analyzing the fight between the two monsters before them. "Was this guy always that strong? I don't recall Hakkur having such a difficult time in the past."

"Who knows," Tiberius answered. He felt the same way but he didn't have the answers they were looking for. The best Tiberius could do was make a solid guess while also preparing to interfere in the battle. "Perhaps he wasn't at full strength during our first fight. After all, he was also present in the first catastrophe according to the records."

"I see. That's plausible. Nevertheless, let's go," Gideon said. Unlike these two, he didn't wish to sit around and engage in "fair" one vs. one fights. As this erupted during times of war, any decision he made was the right decision. It wasn't the means that mattered but the result that rose from those means.

Thus, Gideon lifted his aged staff above his head and created a huge ball of black flames. However, unlike the first orb he created, this one was much different. There was a large crack in the center of the orb that caused the flame sphere to collapse on itself.

Eventually, the flaming sphere revealed a figure coated in black armor. The armor was made from flames but based on the fluctuations from the figure, this didn't seem like a Spirit. Rather, it felt more like a being summoned from one of Gideon's special techniques.

The large figure donned in a black flame armor soon landed on the ground with a huge tremor. It didn't waste any time in joining the fight as a huge flaming claymore appeared in its grasp. The temperature within a certain radius skyrocketed after the appearance of this being.

However, Hakkur was unaffected by the change. The Avatar Form granted extremely high resistance towards outside influences.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The figure unleashed a strike everytime there was an opening between Az'kayzak and Hakkur. But, rather than inflict damage, these attacks only seemed to irritate Az'kayzak as rage surfaced in his eyes.

"Insignificant bug! You aren't even a real thing and you dare interfere in our battle? Very well! Let's see how you like the power of my Death Command!" Az'kayzak said in a frigid tone.

The Death Essence suddenly stopped moved and opened six deathly portals, from which six of the newly created Disasters emerged from.
