Battle of Ascension

Chapter 477: New Form (1)

Looking at the current form of Maldin, Randy knew Maldin had grown even stronger.

"Don't tell me it can also use transformation skill?"

David and Limera also stopped their fight as they noticed the big change on Maldin. Not only Randy could feel it, but both also felt Maldin had grown stronger.

Now Randy realized that it was still too hard to kill Divine Grade Native even it was three against one. Moreover, now Maldin had the help of three Saint Grade Malkins. It made things more difficult.

Nevertheless, he could not turn back now. It was hard to kill Maldin, but it was not impossible. Randy took a deep breath and raised his hand up. The lava in his domain bubbled up, the flame in his domain gathered on his back, and formed ten swords made of blackish golden flame.

The fire elemental domain he just set up vanished. It turned into ten big fire swords. The sword was about ten meters long and the domain converted into ten fire swords.

The ten fire swords rotated in the air, right above Randy. He flapped his flame wings and stopped in the middle of the ten fire swords. Randy did not plan to go all out, but he would be passive while waiting for Limera and David took care of their opponent.

Randy was not arrogant to think he could against Maldin in one on one fight. He was buying time, buying time for Limera and David.

David and Limera nodded their head toward Randy. Actually, they could run away and come back later to reduce the risk of facing such a strong opponent. However, the alliance had to pay a huge price for this if they had to escape. Malkin Tribe would not let them off like this.

After all, only Randy and David who could escape with the Shadow Drive. The weaker one could not escape from the Malkin Tribe's clutch easily.

"Heh, you have twelve weapons. Me too, I have twelve swords." He formed his formless weapon into a big version of Infernal Blade. For the first time, Randy found the formless of Divine Grade Weapon was useful. He transformed it into five meters blade of Infernal Blade.

Maldin let out a low groan to its subordinate. It seemed to be talking to Saint Grade Malkin. After a while, Saint Grade Malkin knelt to Maldin and rushed toward Limera's direction.

Randy did not understand their language, but he knew the meaning of their conversation.

"Heh, I won't let it happen!"

Randy manipulated two fire swords to chase after Saint Grade Malkin. The big fire sword shot toward Saint Grade Malkin at a frightening speed. However, Randy's effort doomed to be failed as Maldin came forward. Maldin used its bone tentacle to stop his sword advance.

Seeing his sword was stopped by Maldin, Randy charged forward. This was what he waited for, the two swords earlier were only a distraction and it was working.

In one flap of his wing, Randy arrived before Maldin enormous body.

Wung!

A golden sphere spread out with him in the center. Along with the golden sphere, the image of the ten fire swords blurred. Not only the ten fire swords, but the sword in his hand also blurred.

After that, the sound of the sword clashed resounded. Along with it, Randy's eyes opened wide as he could not believe what he saw. All of his swords were getting blocked by Maldin. The ten black bone tentacles and two swords in its hand were leaving an afterimage for blocking his sword inside Sleight of Sword Expanse.

Not even one hit landed on Maldin. Moreover, it blocked his sword effortless, it did not even take a step back. It lasted for one minute before it surprised Randy once more.

Two out of ten black bone tentacles which busy blocking his sword shot toward him. It came from both of his sides. Randy flapped his wing forward and dodged the incoming bone tentacle.

But it did not stop here, the bone tentacle changed its direction and chased after him. He could only dodge the incoming bone tentacle as his swords were focusing on offense.

Now, Maldin had adapted to Sleight of Sword Expanse. It could match twelve swords with only eight bone tentacles and two swords in its hand. This truly made Randy distressed, this was the first time he met an opponent who could counter his two sword skills. If he withdrew the sword to counter the bone tentacle, Randy believed more bone tentacle would come after him.

Randy had no choice but retreated. Earlier, he wanted to test the water if it was possible to fight one on one against Maldin, but even with fire sword which made of Fire Elemental Domain, Randy failed even to leave a wound on Maldin.

Randy retreated and the Sleight of Sword Expanse also vanished. Now, he truly decided to focus on countering Maldin while waiting for David and Limera to finish off their opponent.

What truly depressed Randy was, he could not even force Maldin to move. From the start of his sneak attack, Maldin was just standing on the post, it did not move slightest at all. Relying on the bone tentacle to attack and sword to defend, Maldin was more like an unbreakable fortress.

However, now Randy decided to be passive. He would not initiate to attack. He kept a safe distance from Maldin. Maldin also stood motionlessly, but its red eyes never left Randy.

One minute, they were staring at each other. Maldin seemed to notice the change in Randy's movement which earlier was pretty aggressive, but now passive.

Noticing this, Maldin pierced the ground with its two bone tentacle and leaped out toward Randy. The distance between them vanished in an instant.

Having an enormous body, but also extremely fast. Randy was not surprised with Maldin's speed, but the longer they fought, the more he realized the difference between them was getting bigger and bigger.

The difference was big, but it did not waver Randy's spirit in the slightest. However, he must not too close to face an opponent like Maldin.

"I have to move away"

Randy wanted to retreat as close combat would bring a disadvantage to him. The ten of fifty meters bone tentacle was the one hardest to deal with. He could not afford to get surrounded by those bone tentacles.

Maldin however would not let it happen. The eight bone black tentacles swarmed toward him.

The ten fire swords also moved responded to the black tentacle. Just as Randy thought it was a time distance himself from Maldin, there was a shadow descended toward him.

Maldin made his move with the sword in his hand, the lightning sword and accompanied with the bone sword afterward. Knowing Randy's intention who wanted to make a distance with it, Maldin did not give a chance for Randy to move away.

Without hesitation, Randy shot up and met the sword head-on. Randy received the lightning sword. As soon as his sword clashed with the lightning sword, his body jolted as he felt the lightning stroke him through his sword. This made his movement became stiff.

The lightning made his movement stiff, but he forced his right hand up to receive another sword from Maldin. The bone sword descended toward him and lifted the sword in his right hand to block it.

Boom!

As soon as his sword met the bone sword, Randy was pushed down by the great force till to the ground. The force behind the bone sword was much more terrifying than the lightning sword. It pushed it down to the ground.

Fortunately, the shock he received from the lightning sword was not that great. He managed to block the two swords perfectly.

"Groorrr!?"

Even Maldin surprised that Randy was still intact after his sword attack.

With both his swords up, Randy perfectly blocked Maldin's sword. Though he blocked it, he also shocked by the power behind the bone sword.

Swoosh!

Randy felt there was something dangerous coming from his back. Without even turning back, the wing flame and the crimson scale changed into a pitch-black scale and wing in an instant. Along with the change, Randy vanished and appeared behind Maldin.

There were two bone tentacles pierced the ground at where he stood just now.

Just as he let out a sigh of relief, Maldin turned its body and swung its bone sword toward him. This startled Randy. Subconsciously, he lifted his swords up to block the incoming sword.

Boom!

Randy crashed down to the ground. He stood no chance against the strength of Divine Grade Malkin.

Cough! Cough!

Randy got up with the help of his sword.

"This is bad." His head was getting dizzy. He knew this was the sign of spirit depletion. He could not maintain the ten fire swords and the dragon transformation longer. However, he had to hold on, if he lost his conscious now, the chance of them defeated Maldin became lower.

Randy shook his head and took a deep breath. "I have to hold on"

He could not finish his words as the bone tentacle flew toward him. Without hesitation, Randy moved out with his Shadow Drive and distanced himself from Maldin.

However, it was as if Maldin could read his move. It also moved toward where Randy appeared and slashed down its lightning sword.

Rumble!

Along with the sword, thunder descended and hit Randy. Maldin did stop here, the bone sword slashed horizontally toward Randy.

Randy who struck by the thunder was defenseless. His twin swords were blocking the lightning sword and the ten fire swords fend off the ten bone tentacles.

Bam!

The bone sword hit Randy who was defenseless. But the bone sword failed to pierce the black dragon scale and Randy got blown away.

Maldin did not stop here, it dashed after Randy's body. Before even Randy crashed down, Maldin caught Randy's body with its bare hand.

Meanwhile, Randy's eyes blurred, his vision was no lt clear. What he saw was only a big shadow with an unclear look. But he knew this big shadow was Maldin.

Maldin also looked at Randy with its cold red eyes. Maldin put the bone sword down and slowly, its hand moved toward Randy's right black wing. When its hand reached Randy's right black wing, it pulled out the wing with force, it tore Randy's right-wing.

"ARRRGGGGHHHHHH!"
