Undying Warlord - Chapter 567 The Undying Vs The Eternal Darkness (5)

While it had been an easy task to figure out that the Power of Destruction was enough to inflict serious damage upon Kaeldur, the same couldn’t be said about Tyrant.

The Giant Demon’s expressions did not betray him and he did a fantastic job of masking the pain he felt, if any, due to Dilan’s attacks. Furthermore, he could easily cover the wounds he sustained with the darkness that shrouded his entire body like a second layer of skin.

​ However, after fighting for two weeks without a single break, it was only obvious that Dilan made a few discoveries.

One of his discoveries was that the Tyrant had a very high resistance to manga-based attacks.

Dilan had attacked the Tyrant with all kinds of attributed wind needles, yet, none of them inflicted any real damage.

This forced Dilan to employ different tactics and switch to using larger mana-based attacks so that he could figure out what element and power caused most damage to the Giant Demon.

It might be a cliche and something Dilan could have expected but both the light and holy attributes showed the highest effectiveness against Tyrant, the existence that had been corrupted by darkness.

But even if it was a cliche, Dilan had only been happy upon finding out the best element to defeat the Giant Demon, who was also called the Tyrant of Destruction.

Because the Power of Destruction was not effective against Tyrant, Dilan had also given the Immortality Aura a try. With the Immortality Aura, Dilan could injure Tyrant, even to the extent that his expression morphed into an ugly and beastly grimace.

Unfortunately, that was already it. The small injury was more like a papercut to the Giant Demon in any way, and it was only a matter of time before Tyrant would heal.

The high difficulty to overwhelm, let alone defeat Tyrant was why Dilan had switched his target to Kaeldur and even Nial, but it was not as if Tyrant would sit idle and allow him to fight them just like that.

Thus, their small brawl began anew.

Exerting the Zephyr Step movement technique, Dilan’s speed toppled Tyrant’s in an instant. He emerged in front of the Giant Demon a moment later and released the glowing blob that had manifested in his empty hand.

Tyrant covered his face with darkness in response before he shot tiny needles of darkness out of the ground.

The Giant Demon was able to sense whenever the needles of darkness faced some resistance. That was how the Tyrant of Destruction countered Dilan’s attempt to blind him.

Tyrant used his other senses to make up for the momentary loss of his sight.

However, Dilan had already expected this to happen.

Hence, he quickly created a strong stream of water which he blasted to the ground with tremendous force. His action would make every single needle of darkness feel a certain amount of resistance and the Giant Demon would be forced to digest and sort through a large stream of information all of a sudden.

This gave Dilan the necessary time to initiate his own attack.

Fusing the Immortality Aura with more and more Lifeforce, Dilan attempted to overclock the aura’s power and enhance it several times. What followed suit was the sensation of weakness that his body transmitted to his brain.

He felt as if a faint gust of air was strong enough to kill him, and that was probably not even an exaggeration. He had used almost his entire life force to empower the Immortality Aura. It would take a second or two before Undying would replenish his life force but all of that was already accounted for in Dilan’s mind.

He used more than half of his entire pool of Mana to shroud his weapon with both holy and light attributed mana. Dilan could alter mana however he wanted, and the final result was the Holy light Mana he had used to envelop his sword with.

His sword seemed to be screaming out loud as it hummed violently when both the Reinforced Immortality Aura and the Holy Light Mana were pressed inside the blade of Dilan’s weapon.

By willing his Aura and Mana to do so, Dilan forcefully fused them inside the blade, where the mighty and prideful powers were trying to win supremacy over one another.

Dilan knew that Mana would become sentient at a certain density and purity, while the Immortality aura had been described as prideful and a lone wolf by the Destruction Sword Immortal. But all of that was not something Dilan truly cared about.

He used his willpower to force both powers to work together as he shot to the right side of the Tyrant of Destruction. The Giant Demon was still trying to cope with the sudden influx of information when Dilan had already shot high in the air.

He pulled the blade back to generate enough momentum for the slash he was about to issue at any time.

Yet, just when he reached Tyrant’s head a quarter of a second later, he noticed that something was off.

‘Why are Nial and Kaeldur not intervening?’ Dilan wondered, feeling certain that the two would have appeared by their comrade’s side by now.

But instead of stopping his attack, Dilan lashed out, aiming at the Giant Demon’s head.

His movement speed was rapid and there was no way that anyone could react in time to deflect, let alone evade his attack.

However, it was just at this moment when Dilan perceived dozens of changes in his surrounding area.

The darkness cover on Tyrant’s face disappeared and was replaced with a bright smile on the Demon’s ugly face. The muscles in his body began to bulge and he seemed to grow in size within an instant.

At the same time, a bloody moon appeared high in the air, covering the bright sun of the City of Trials bringing for the crimson darkness.

And with that, the nights of blood and darkness began.
