Age of Heroes (Age of Heroes Chronicles)

Chapter 642: The battle begins

That is what the people of the New World called the Eastian people that come trading with them.

The people of the Ming continent is ruled by the Ming dynasty. 

A continent of ten thousand Gods. That is the understanding of the New World toward the Ming dynasty

And Varnikar knew that the people there practices martial arts. But martial arts are not only an exclusive arts reserved for the people of Ming.

Even the people of the New World had developed their own martial arts. Only the way they execute it is different from the martial arts of the Ming continent.

But Varnikar is not afraid the least. Because while he did not learn martial arts skill, it did not mean that he is at a disadvantaged.

What he had been relying on was always the divine power that is bestowed on him. But he was surprised at Arial sudden burst of energy

Even though Arial had come showing a powerful demeanor as he unleashes his inner energy as his inner energy spreads out even more, it gives the illusion that Arial himself is growing bigger and bigger.

Varnikar closes his eyes for a second and then as he opens his eyes that kind of domineering presence that is about to assault his mind was dispelled.

He could see that Arial hairs are rising up like there is wind around him when it is actually the pressure of his inner energy materialized outside of his body. The so called projection of inner energy

His presence become powerful and dominating, his armor seems to rattle like a powerful force passing by it. 

The grass on his feet finally flew into the air, like it was plucked by an invisible force. 

Varnikar laughed and said

'I also have that same kind of trick' 

Then he shot his fist up toward the sky and a bolt of lightning g shot out from his fist. 

The entire city wall could see it as a bolt of lightning flew from his fist shooting toward the sky.

BOOOM!

The sound of sonic boom exploded in the area. 

For a moment everyone gasped seeing such a mystical scene. 

The lightning strikes the clouds and the heavens was opened. 

Then almost a second later, dark clouds suddenly gathered above Varnikar head and then thunder cracks the sky. 

Lightning flashes by and a thunderbolt strike down the ground, leaving a two feet deep, three feet width crater

The area of the crater is full of arcs of lightning like floating crawling snakes that slowly fizzled out. 

The dark clouds that gathers around the area of Varnikar and Arial seems to cloud the sun above and one could see that the area of the outer city is bright but on the area of the bridge where these two people ae standing, it was like it was at nighttime.

The streaking of the lightning enables people to see the figures of these two people and every once in a while the sound of thunder roaring in the sky shocks the people. 

This is the powerful method of one of the most famous and strongest warrior of the Three Kingdoms

The people of the tribes, the people of Balhae, the people of the three Kingdom had long heard about the prowess and magical means of the High Lord of Maroth. 

But he had long not taken action and his feats usually revolved around when he was young. 

And he rarely fights as he grows old. So some people had never truly see the power of this famous warrior. 

But today, only with that one fist, it had refreshed the understanding of the powerful methods of this warrior of the three kingdoms

for the people of the New World who had never known the famous name of High Lord of Maroth, today, they know and they would never forget it.

One punch to split open the clouds and brings about a dark cloud that brings upon thunder and lightning.

Among the people of the New World, some of them were Gifted with the ability to control the wind and even summon thunder and lightning.

But no one could have done as easily as that person. It was almost like the thunder and lightning beckoned to his order. This is person loved by the Divines. 

Seeing such a mystical method, everyone on the wall could gasped in shock. Giovanni who is also looking at this battle frowned.

He thought to himself that the people of the New World seems to be blessed with magic and abilities that made them seem like a chosen race.

In his years of fighting in the battlefield, he had seen some shit and miracles and unexplainable things

He also had seen mages doing their magic. 

But it was not like this. 

He saw the clouds in the sky gather, like it was following an order and in just a few second a patch of clouds above the old man head turns dark like someone had just poured black ink onto it.

And then thunder roars in the sky, lightning strikes down the ground like a God in the sky being angry and hurling some lightning bolts to express his dissatisfaction.

And it is at this moment that Giovanni knows that the old man was going easy on him. 

On the area between Arial and Varnikar two wind streams collided with each other. 

The wind pressure around Arial become compressed as his inner energy explode outwards but Varnikar had the blessing of Barash Dur. 

He controls the wind like it is an extension of his limbs. Lightning strikes on the ground but it did not strike around Arial

Of course Varnikar also realize this abnormality and he thought that this must have something to do with the lightning arcs around Arial body.

Right now, Arial inner energy is mixed with his Divine essence of thunder. 

While Arial himself was a bit shocked that Varnikar could do the things he did, shooting out thunderbolts from his fist like some kind of thunder god, Arial confidence did not decrease a bit. 

His Divine Thunder seems to shield him from any of the strikes of thunder from the heavens

And he also felt like his energy grows stronger in this kind of stormy environment. 

'So, it seems this kind of method did not work on him' Varnikar thought to himself.

But this did not dampen his fighting spirit. 

Varnikar grab his claymore and then pull it out from the ground.

The moment he plucks it out a powerful gust with the force of a raging avalanche came charging towards Arial

'Hah!' Arial shouted. 

From afar, it is hard to see clearly what is happening between those two but even with the naked eye one could see that the area of space around these two people is slightly distorted. 

The pressure of their energy is so strong that it distorted the space around them, causing it to bend

Varnikar is about to attack. And once he decided to attack, he immediately executed his strike.

'I will try to see whether you are worthy to be my lord or simply just an arrogant man who does not know the world!'

And then he slashes his claymore forward. His claymore could shrink and elongate according to the wish of his wielder.

At this time the claymore is not as long as it should be. But the weight of the claymore increased which causes the impact of the attack become more catastrophic.

The slash of the weapon cut through the wind and one could even see the ripple in the air as the slash cut forward. 

The weight of the claymore had made Varnikar feet sunk one feet on the ground he is standing. 

Arial also move his sword forward, his eyes narrowed trying to see the effect of that slash

his foot moves forward kicking the ground with a powerful force that the ground beneath his feet cracked, adding momentum as he dashes forward like lightning flashing

and then as the force of the slash come closer, that small sword on his hand is thrusted forward

Arial in that brief moment channels his inner energy toward the sword. And then in a fraction of a second, the inner energy that is equally distributed on the surface of the sword gathers at the tip of the sword.

The force of the inner energy combined with the speed he is now travelling as he thrusted the sword with forceful thrust, a powerful stabbing motion is executed.

The force of the slash that is coming toward him is pierced by his sword.

'Heh' he smirk

The force of the slash, and the force of that thrusting motion clashed with each other

BOOOM! 

The result of the two force colliding is a shockwave of wind that spreads to all direction. The ground that was sweep by this force cracks into a web like pattern, the grass all flew up, as an invisible force sweep through the grassy area.

The arrows that is stuck on the ground were cut by the residual sword and claymore energy.

It was like someone had just cut them. The dust rises up and then as the dust falls down, people on the wall could see that Arial is ten steps backwards from where he was before.

On the other hand, Varnikar position is the same. 

But blood is dripping from his hand.
