Parallel – A Virtual Reality. - Chapter 70

“I’ll go get the snacks from the kitchen,” says Greenfield to Park who had just arrived at their meeting place.

“I’ll help you, I brought some beers so I am going to put them on the fridge”

“Ok, let’s do it fast, the battle is about to start!”

Greenfield starts putting the snacks on a vase busily as Park prepares a couple of beers and serves them in glasses.

Soon enough they are already sitting in front of the monitor on a sofa with the things ready to enjoy.

“We haven’t been able to talk much these days, how did the meeting with Ardha go?”

“Better than expected, he truly seemed to get what I told him. Well, if he didn’t, it would be good too.”

“That’s nice, I wanted to meet him” envy showed on Greenfield’s face as he is a very curious person.

“You’ll get to meet him soon enough if he keeps escalating,” Park says with a smile as he drinks the beer joyously.

Greenfield shakes his head in helplessness, “Parallel isn’t so easy for people to climb without any setback”

“That’s true, even we don’t know how things are going to end up, right now everything is up to fate”

“Well, the show is about to start, I wonder if they will be able to hold on” Greenfield rubs his chin thoughtfully as he looks upward.

“No matter the result, this is going to be very fierce” Excitement shows in Park’s face.

Soon, the show started.

—————————

I could hear a gruesome battle on our back as clashes of swords and cries of anguish were everywhere on the battlefield.

Powerful undulations crashed around as small vibrations were felt.

But we don’t look back at all.

Or well, we can’t look back would be more appropriate. That is how enormous the pressure Dorek is giving us.

‘I can’t see any openings’ I look at the relaxed stance of Dorek as he looks at us with an expressionless face. He looks at the back battlefield and furrows his brows.

Subconsciously I activate my Two-Elemental Enhancement to its fullest as I attack Dorek. Besides my attack, a furious slash of Zenith appears.

Dorek swings his Halberd hard as a magic circle appears in front of him.

BOOOOOOOOM!

A blast is generated from our clash as we look at him without a single scratch.

‘Well, not that I expected to injure him with that level of attack, but still…’ I grip my swords and move sideways as Zenith starts going through the other flank to attack Dorek.

Without moving from his place Dorek readies his stance as he starts attacking me with his Halberd and on the side of Zenith he directs a magic circle that creates a barrier of ice

Our clash start like that as we exchange attacks without giving a step backward.

‘Shit, he isn’t even budging a bit even when we are attacking this crazily’

Feeling a powerful clash from the back battlefield, Dorek looks over there and becomes pissed off.

He lifts his hand with the Halberd and suddenly barriers of ice appear all over the field here trying to extend to the back.

I swiftly move and activate my skills to repel and absorb his magic.

Surprised, he gazes at me. Without giving him a chance to rest I move my swords, creating a tremendous cross of fire utilizing the energy I just absorbed.

A serious expression appears on his face as he blocks my attack, but this time he gives a step backward.

“Heaven Splitter!”

BOOOOOOM

Dorek steps back again as he defends himself from the attack of Zenith. Anger clouds his eyes as he stares at us.

“ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR”

Dorek’s roars to the sky as magic circles after magic circles appear in our surroundings. But this time it isn’t direct attack magic.

Ice Lizardmen started appearing from the magic circle, waves, and waves of them.

As soon as they appear they start attacking us.

I grip my swords hard as I look seriously at Dorek, ‘An ability to summon monsters… he has a ridiculous amount of mana’

Dorek without wasting more time lifts his hand as I and Zenith become busy destroying the waves of Ice monsters.

“Ice Barrier”

As soon as those words are uttered, barriers of ice come out of the floor and destroy everything in their path, dividing the field wherever they go.

‘I will have to go a bit harder then’

Elemental Blending, Three-Elemental Enhancing: Darkness, Fire and Earth.

Darkness surrounds my hands and my swords, and before Dorek can respond I swing my swords hard in the direction towards the barriers.

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!

Clashing with my attack, the barriers of ice break apart, as I use my annulment ability to weaken the magic of Dorek.

Dorek becomes surprised at the sight of the barriers being broken apart by a huge staff of darkness that is sweeping the field and then looks at me. But before he and his minions can even come closer to me, Zenith appears in front.

Dorek didn’t notice that Zenith crushed his ice minions at lightning speed when I was breaking his barriers apart. Runes and a dark purplish aura surrounded Zenith, ‘Death’ slowly extending from his body as everything it touches corrodes.

Zenith gives a firm step forward and swings his swords downwards.

“Heaven Splitter”

His calm voice is devoured by the huge amount of power coming from his slash as it can’t even be compared to the previous one. This was the same Slash that Zenith did at the end when fighting against Alwen.

A magic circle appears in front of Dorek as a Shield of Ice forms from it, but it gets split in half by Zenith slash almost instantly.

But it gave enough time for Dorek to protect himself.

One, two, three, four steps gave up Dorek as he defended himself from the mighty slash of Zenith. A visible scratch on his Halberd and a small wound appeared on his shoulder because of not being able to block the entire impact.

‘Barely a scratch, huh?’ I look at Dorek seriously, as he starts composing himself.

The reason we didn’t continue attacking is quite simple.

‘He is giving me a very dangerous feeling right now’

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR

Just as I think that Dorek roars to the sky, a powerful soundwave expands through the entire battlefield as I feel the elements going chaotic.

The Earth starts vibrating a little like the ice minions that Dorek was summoning break apart and the ice is going towards Dorek while compressing.

Soon enough, an armor made of ice appears on his body. He looks at us with a cold expression as I hear turbulence behind me.

An enormous amount of Ice element is sweeping the field and I feel how it is increasing the overall power of the army of Dorek.

I breathe in and breathe out as I focus to my utmost, without paying attention to the rest.

Razer Body, Elemental Blending, Three-Elemental Enhancing.

Activating Razer body, I start my elemental enhancing to the best of my abilities, changing from element to element as I try to optimize what’s best against this beast.

Stomp!

Dorek stomps heavily as Zenith and I step forward.

Ice appears everywhere around us as we evade and crush what comes to us, appearing in front of Dorek.

Time for round two.
