Chapter 851: Divine Gauntlet VI: Monster

Korah flew through the flames; he waved his hand and sent a massive wave of divine energy imbued with his portfolio, gluttony. The divine magic carved a way for him through the destruction to reach Arad, who was flying toward him like a rampaging demon. With a wave and smack, Korah knocked Arad to the ground with a divine smite.

^He’s weaker than the previous one across the board, but my divine authority isn’t working against him, and he doesn’t seem to die.^ Arad burst through the ground with a roar, releasing a massive energy breath at Korah.

As Korah blocked the breath, he was thinking, ^And he’s far more aggressive. The white- haired one had skill and elegance like a great sage, but this one was barbaric, raw, and more importantly.^

Arad flew straight through one of Korah’s divine beams and punched him in the face. ^He’s a vampire and is weak to divine magic, yet he’s charging through it without care. ^

As Korah landed on a mountain in the far distance, Arad conjured a massive lightning bolt and threw it at him. As it hit, the mountain’s surface burned into ash and Korah rushed inside the

caves.

Flew straight into the mountain’s surface, chasing after the fleeing god.

When Korah looked back through the darkness of the caves, he could see Arad butterfly swimming through the stones, ripping everything around him into shreds.

“Are you serious? Stop!” Korah pointed a finger toward Arad and blasted the whole cave with a massive divine smite strengthened by his gluttony.

In the midst of the falling rubble, Korah looked around for Arad to see if he survived. His eyes opened wide to see Arad’s upper torso flying toward him with a clenched fist, smacking him in the nose hard enough to send him flying.

Korah immediately regained his balance and pointed a finger at Arad, “Just die.” He tried to blast him with another divine smite, but Arad used a void step to dodge and appeared a bit further away, spinning as his left wing got hit.

“It’s over…” As Korah smiled, Arad’s lower half and wing regrew in a fraction of a second and he landed on them, leaving Korah stunned, confused, and baffled.

Arad teleported straight to Korah’s face and spun around, smacking him in the chest with his tail hard enough to shatter it; And with rage, Korah had enough and swung a fist at Arad’s chest, blasting Arad’s right arm, shoulder, chest, and all of his lower half, only heaving the head and left upper side attached, and those were blasted away by the shockwave.

As what remained of Arad hit the ground, he bounced back toward Korah and had fully regenerated by the time he reached.

As Korah gasped, Arad was standing above his head, glaring down at him as he burned with magic, growling in a dark cloud of amethyst mana. Korah’s eyes looked up at Arad, burning with fury, and Arad returned the glare.

Korah spun around and grabbed Arad by the ankle, swinging a kick upward at his face. Arad deflected the kick and swung a punch at Korah’s face.

Korah immediately smacked Arad’s stomach with his palm and blasted him into pits with a massive divine smite. As Korah looked forth with a smile, his expression rapidly changed as he saw Arad’s head and spine swimming through the air like a worm engulfed with gravity and blood magic.

He tried to blast him, but Arad managed to dodge and smacked Korah’s face with his spine, immediately regenerating an arm and punching him in the face hard enough that he sent him spinning through the air.

As Korah hit the ground and regained his stance, Arad fell at him with a dropkick, drilling his head to the ground.

Korah growled and blasted the whole area with a wave of divine magic to get some distance, and then clenched a fist. He charged at Arad and swung at him, but Arad managed to deflect the punch and retaliated with a tail swing.𝒩ewW 𝒏ovels upd𝒂tes on nov/𝒆l/b(i)𝒏(.)com

Korah blocked the hit and used that force to get some distance, he then pointed at Arad. “This is the end.” He unleashed a concentrated beam of divine magic that Arad shouldn’t be able to heal from, at least not at the same speed.

Arad clenched a fist and smacked the beam away.

Korah stood there, confused. ^He… punch it away? He’s a vampire, he shouldn’t be able to do that… No, his fists, are engulfed with curse magic. Did he cancel it out…no that would require a massive amount of curses which he doesn’t have…no, I get it, deflecting the beam takes less energy.A

Korah pointed at Arad and shot several more beams, and Arad started punching them one after another as he charged toward him.

When Arad closed the distance, Korah stopped firing the beams and engulfed his fists with divine magic. “Deflect this.” He started swinging at Arad. For the first several hits, Arad had to either dodge them or get a part of him blown away, but it didn’t take him long to start blocking and deflecting them, which sent Korah in a loop.

“Wait…he’s reading my moves? Isn’t he a mindless rampaging monster?^ He tried to throw a feint but Arad immediately used that chance to knock him with a kick to the chest. ^I see, all of his intellect is directed toward killing his target. The longer we fight, the more used to this he’ll become, and the harder he’ll get to kill. He’s adapting and learning as time passes, I must finish this quickly.^

Korah changed his fighting style and kicked Arad away, “Fine, I’ll end you quickly. Today had been a weird day, two mortals actually managing to put up a fight.”

Arad bounced back like a ball and opened his jaws, unleashing a massive burst of energy as a breath. Korah formed a barrier and deflected it upward with a smile, “Useless!”

Arad extended his hand forward and then pulled it back, dragging Korah toward him with a powerful wave of gravity magic.

“You wanted it.” Korah laughed as he opened his palm and charged it with a massive amount of divine magic and his portfolio of gluttony. With a single punch, this divine smile should eat Arad’s body and soul, erasing him completely from existence as if he were never born. All he needs is one hit, and it’ll be all over.

To make sure that Arad doesn’t deflect it, Korah changed the spell’s function and limited it. It’ll only work on mortals but have no effect on anyone else. Even a demi-god should be able to survive it unscathed.

Arad pulled a sword out of his stomach and swung it down, slashing the spell in half with a single swing, leaving Korah baffled. ^That sword… divine magic…^ He couldn’t believe his

eyes.

Arad shifted his stance, mimicking Lydia, [Divine Cleaver] in a single swing; he slashed Korah in half across the torso. Arad was pulling divine magic from the massive pool of divine water that he drank from Vorvadoss’s seal.

As a god, Korah instantly healed and swung a kick, shattering Arad’s sword. “A mortal weapon can’t block a god’s attack.”

Arad looked at his broken sword and threw it away; he opened his palm and swung a chop down at Korah’s head. [Divine Cleaver]

Korah used both hands to block Arad’s attack, and he was getting pushed to the ground. ɅHeavy…it’s worse than with the sword.^

Arad swung his left palm, [Curse Cleaver] puling curses from Doma, he swung just like how Lydia does, but on a much larger scale.

Korah took the hot and his body exploded, his bits flew away and scattered everywhere before he regenerated with a flash. “You bastard, are you using both curses and divine magic simultaneously; where did you learn that?”

Arad stood in place, a cursed ball on his left hand and a divine ball on his right. He gently pressed them together, and they flashed, sucking all the light into pure darkness.

Divine and curse magic are two faces of the same coin, they are opposite types of energy that shouldn’t mix. When forced together, they crumble into nothing, leaving a clear empty void.

“What are you doing?! What is that?” Korah screamed as he looked at the ball of magic that

Arad formed.

Arad suddenly stopped, and the magic in his hand disappeared. Korah looked at him surprised, “Did it fail?”

Arad disappeared without saying a word, leaving Korah standing alone in the midst of the

ravaged land.

“Did he run away?” As Korah turned around, he sensed something strange, a power so great that he only knew one person of that level.

^She’s back…^ He looked at the two glowing blue eyes glaring at him from the dust and ash.

“You’re back; I guess I’m running out of time.” Korah shouted with a large smile on his face.

Just a minute earlier, the girls had started clashing with Jordan inside the labyrinth. Eris led the charge with a massive purple sun, setting the battlefield ablaze. One minute from now on, the monster would fall upon them.
