Chapter 1942: The Wanderer and the Junior Dragoness (Part 3)
……
Boom!
Butcher swiftly charged straight to David, who had just finished setting up his grand array.
Swoosh!
Butcher appeared before David in an instant. He widened his arms, raising the butcher knife with one hand while pointing the palm of the other at David.
He was preparing to cleave David’s body with this powerful strike.
However, David also responded quite fast. He placed his hands together before swiftly making a series of hand seals with them.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Golden chains suddenly appeared around David and swiftly wrapped themselves around Butcher, restraining the latter’s movements.
However, these chains only lasted for a moment before snapping one after another as Butcher continued brandishing his butcher knife.
But that momentary pause was more than enough for David to set up defense.
David swiftly hopped backwards while also extending his hand to grab the umbrella beside him, which was currently impaled on the ground.
Swoosh!
He then immediately opened the umbrella and quickly raised it, using its canopy to block the falling knife.
Zong~! Long~! Long~!
The runes on the surface of the umbrella shone brightly once again. But this time, they did not just release their brilliance since they seemed to come alive and flew out of the canopy’s surface and spun in the air.
While spinning, they linked with one another before forming a magical sequence that later turned into a defensive formation that blocked the incoming strike.
Boom!
The barrier was instantly broken, but the might of the descending knife had also lost the majority of its momentum, no longer possessing any killing power.
However, the impact from this strike was so strong that David felt the metallic taste of blood rising from his throat once again.
Even though his current Mental Energy could rival the Mentalists at the Venerable Realm, the difference in his physique was still far too wide when compared to a Domain Realm Expert.
David might be a perfect Kaleidoscope Mentalist, who was capable of using both the abilities of a Combat Mentalist and a Psychic Mentalist, but it was still far from being enough to match the monstrous physique of Butcher, who was also known as one of the strongest Body Refining Experts among all the Domain Realm Martial Artists around the world.
It was quite normal for him to be on the losing side despite all the enchantments that he had cast on his body.
Swoosh!
Suppressing all the internal injuries within him that were already getting worse the more he fought, along with the worsening side effects of his ’Limit Break’, David cast one healing spell on himself after another before bravely proceeding forward.
Closing the canopy of the umbrella, David swiftly retrieved this sacred relic and the heirloom of the Solomon Kingdom before quickly executing a series of foot techniques to dodge the following attacks from Butcher.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
’Myriad Manifestation Method: Mystic King – The Ghost Illusionary Steps’
Multiple copies of himself scattered in every direction, trying to confuse Butcher with these illusions.
Unfortunately, Butcher did not buy any of this and just used the most straightforward way to crush them.
Boom!
With a powerful stomp into the ground, strong gusts of wind suddenly spread in every direction and swept through everything. These gusts of wind were accompanied by sharp flashes of light, indicating that Butcher had also thrown a few slashes with his knife in the mix.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Shing!
Right after destroying the illusions, Butcher swiftly swept his eyes over the surroundings, looking for the traces of the young Mentalists.
When he found David, he saw that the latter was currently standing in the distance while forming a mysterious hand seal.
Whoosh!
He then saw a series of runes flowing through David’s body and spread out before forming a sequence of mysterious tattoos that glowed so brightly, outlining themselves throughout his body.
At the same time, the flowing Divinity Grade Mental Energy leaking out from his body formed a series of Mentalism Runes in the air before linking with one another and forming a complicated wheel with multiple layers.
Each layer was filled with a sequence of runes while spinning at a different pace; some were spinning clockwise, while others were moving in the opposite direction.
His pupils had also transformed, forming mandala patterns in them, when he activated his Enlightened Eyes.
Along with these changes, his hair was continuously dancing alongside the flowing energy that his body was constantly emitting.
’Myriad Manifestation Method: Secrets of the Kings – Divine Avatar’
His presence immediately propelled him into a whole different level under these transformations, almost rivaling his opponent.
Bang!
While David was still in the middle of these changes, Butcher had already made his move and resumed his assault.
David, who just finished his transformation, put his palms together while channeling his Spiritual Force into them.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The floating talismans in the air swiftly headed his direction and revolved around him, complementing his actions.
At the same time, a bunch of chains appeared once again, wrapping themselves around Butcher and one another, hindering his movements.
Even if they repeatedly snapped before they could fully restrain him, they were still able to buy enough time for David to prepare.
David slowly separated his palms from one another while a cluster of Mental Energy gathered between them. This cluster of energy slowly expanded alongside the movements of his hands, forming a sturdy rod filled with glowing runes on its surface.
Given that the Mental Energy that he poured into it was at Divinity Grade, it was not hard to imagine how tough this rod was.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At the same time, the surrounding talismans rushed toward the rod and wrapped themselves around it, transforming it into an even more powerful Mentalism Armament (counterpart of the Qi Equipment of Martial Arts at the Void Manifestation Realm).
Right after the formation of the staff, David quickly grabbed it before flipping and twirling it around to generate momentum.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With this Mentalism Armament, David attempted to exchange a few more blows against Butcher, who was already before him and brandishing his huge knife once again.
“Urgh!”
For every collision, David felt that the internal injury within him was rapidly getting worse. Despite all the healing spells and techniques that he cast on himself, he was still unable to keep up with his worsening condition.
Bang!
With a powerful stomp, David forced himself to stop retreating before twirling the staff once again.
A moment later, the muscles on his arms suddenly contracted as he tightened his grip over the staff.
Boom!
An apparition then appeared behind him immediately after.
This apparition had the figure of a monkey donning a set of an army general’s armor of ancient times, along with a circular halo over its head that was glowing with intense light.
Mimicking David’s actions, this monkey suddenly swung its staff alongside him, leaving a series of afterimages in the air.
At first, there were a total of eighty-one copies of staff in the air. But they later converged and only left nine afterimages that were striking down at Butcher one after another.
’Myriad Manifestation Method: Monkey King – The Nine Heavenly Strikes’
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Butcher could feel the immense threat coming from these strikes, making him unable to underestimate them. He could also think that the gravity around him grew at least twofold under the might of these strikes.
Sensing the danger, he faced the attack seriously and struck with his butcher knife with equal respect.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each strike of the staff was much heavier than the other. It was as if the force that they carried grew at least twice whenever they fell.
Boom!
When the ninth and final strike finally fell, Butcher felt the powerful might that it possessed and was forced to take a step back.
Bang!
At the same time, David’s Mentalism Armament also shattered, unable to withstand all the heavy exchanges.
However, he did not stop his advance and continued to be on the offensive.
Roar!
This time, the apparition behind him was a humanoid beast that carried a domineering presence, which seemed to inform anyone who would look at it that it was the king of the world.
David’s body seemed to have expanded while he widened up his stance, pulling his right-hand fist behind and channeling an overwhelming amount of Spiritual Force into it.
Crackle! Crackle!
Golden lightning danced around him before converging into his fist.
Whoosh!
Then stomped into the ground and strode forward while throwing a powerful punch with all his might.
’Myriad Manifestation Method: Beast King – The Haymaker’
Roar!
A deafening bestial roar reverberated throughout the battlefield as his fist advanced.
Seeing this, Butcher could not help but raise his brows a little. Regardless, he still strode forward and faced the incoming attack head-on.
Swoosh!
Swinging his fist forward, he threw an equally domineering punch.
Boom!
To his surprise, Butcher was forced to take another step back after the collision. This indicated how powerful that punch was just now.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
David, on the other hand, was forced to take a series of deep and heavy steps back while he was trying to disperse the residual force that his body had gotten from the impact.
Suppressing the cough that was rising through his throat and swallowing the blood that seemed to be trying to escape from his mouth once again, David forcefully fixed his stance.
Pulling out the umbrella from the voice once again, David assumed a rather peculiar stance. He took a sword-drawing stance while holding the umbrella.
The umbrella seemed to contract slightly, releasing an intense light, as he assumed this stance.
At the same time, another apparition appeared behind him. It was a person who looked like an immortal this time. This immortal was holding a sheathed sword and followed David’s actions, taking the stance.
Hu~!
After regulating his breathing, he used the umbrella like a sword, seemingly pulling it out from an invisible sheath before swiftly swinging it multiple times before him.
Shing!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Flashes of light dominated the space before him, discouraging Butcher, who had just approached him in an instant, from continuing further.
’Myriad Manifestation Method: Sword King – The Celestial Sword’
This was the main version of the mentalism swordsmanship that his master used to train during her younger days and before she redesigned it into a new set of sword movements and created her own unique version of it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Butcher repeatedly swung his knife to match the incoming sword flashes, forcing him to take another step back after the final collision.
It was also at this moment that he saw David suddenly taking a heavy step forward, ducking under him along with a glowing fist that was filled with an overwhelming amount of Divine Wrath Force.
Swoosh!
’Myriad Manifestation Method: Secrets of the Kings – The Emperor Fist’
The space seemed to have collapsed when David threw his fist forward, which swiftly connected with Butcher’s lower rib.
BOOM!
