Age of Heroes (Age of Heroes Chronicles)

Chapter 645: Divine abilities and martial arts (2)

Winds around them also suddenly become harsh and cold. This is not the things that Arial could do. So he knows it is the doing of Varnikar.

He admires such heroes with such remarkable talent. 

Arial did not become what he is today if he did not have eyes when choosing people. 

A talent like Varnikar would quickly shorten the time he needed to unify the Shadowlands.

For a few moments, they just stand there looking at each other but then thunder exploded extremely loud in the sky

And Varnikar made his move. 

He kicks the ground, the ground exploded into fiery soil, flying up into the sky as the raised palm thrusted forward.

A powerful heat swirls around his palm. 

Even though divine abilities are something that Varnikar was born with, he also knows martial arts. 

But his martial arts are not like the martial arts of the Ming continent but the martial arts of the Thirteen Tribe which is lethal, deadly and merciless.

His palm combined with divine fire raises the temperature around them by a few degrees.

Arial was not taken aback. 

the moment that the thunder broke out in the sky with such a loud heaven shaking sound, Arial immediately had the instinct that Varnikar would make his move.

He too also bursted out with energy. 

Thunders swirls around him and bursted out from his entire body, as arcs of lightning snakes around on the grass around his feet, burning them almost immediately turning them into ashes that is blown by the wind.

A fire palm is about to hit towards him. he stomps his feet and gave a long shout and then he too executed a palm attack

'ROAR!!'

A dragon roar seems to echoes in the area, shaking the space and creating a large gust of wind.

This is his signature Palm attack, the Dragon Palm. 

In the past it could project inner energy outside the palm. But Arial had also raise its level and it uses also had become more flexible.

He even created moves to his Dragon Palm. His Dragon Palm is encompassing but the rigidity of the moves sometime brings hardness to his attack.

Combined with his inner energy, his Dragon Palm had grown stronger. As his palm shot forward, the powerful sound waves resounded madly around the bridge.

The bridge nearby cracked, the water below it vibrates and the arrows on the ground was swept away by a powerful gust of wind. 

The inner energy manifested in the shape of a long dragon.

Unlike the dragons in the Dark Lands, the shape of the dragons appears more like the dragons of the Ming continent

The dragon roar seems to resonate with Heaven and Earth. Arial after all have the heart of the dragon in his body.

Dragons has an inexhaustible ability to use magic. 

While Arial is not exactly a dragon and he did not possess all the abilities of a dragon, since he had divine essence, his energy had also grown stronger and his dragon palm that would only send a powerful blast of energy now seems to be manifested into a shape of long dragon like it had fulfilled some requirements of the laws of the world

The thin long dragon manifestation crashed violently against Varnikar. 

BOOOOOM! Fires rises up to the sky and the roars of dragon exploded out that it drowned the roars of thunders up in the sky

Everyone who was looking at this battle on the city wall could not believe this. To them these two warriors is no longer humans but an otherworldly being.

They have never seen such human fight in such way that it affects the clouds and sky and because of that they did not dare to interfere. 

The palm attacks collided and a loud bang exploded in the area like the sound of a big stone shooting on a stone wall. 

The area where they were fighting trembled violently like an earthquake is about to erupt. At the same time powerful force swiftly travelled to both of their hands.

Arial felt the fiery nature, the hotness of Varnikar hands is like the fire used to quench metal. 

And Varnikar could feel the destructive force that is travelling inside his body. Even his regenerative abilities find it hard to repel this force

A few second ago, when their palm clashed against each other, many things happens all at once.

when the palms collided, the inner energy protection around Arial body also exploded into motes of unseen energy. 

So, the effect of the palm attack is maximized.

But Arial have the Dragon Heart. 

One of the abilities he got after having the Dragon Heart is that he could easily withstand heat.

But the heat that is entering his body is a different kind of heat. 

It is unlike normal fire. But precisely because he has the Dragon Heart some of the heat is dispelled.

This did not mean however that Arial did not feel the heat. Instead, the heat is like a needle, pulsing with piercing power, piercing his veins and burning it.

Of course his veins are not burned but the feeling on his palm is like that when his palm collided with Varnikar palm.

The conformation was brief, two palms collided with each other but in that brief and simple clash, there is many principles of martial arts and divine power that was exchanged.

The shock wave sweeps both Arial and Varnikar as Varnikar were forced backwards.

Varnikar tries to direct that overwhelming energy to his feet but as his feet step on the ground, the ground depressed three feet deep so Varnikar as he retreated kicks the ground and somersaulted in the air, trying to reduce the residual energy in the air before landing back on the ground as he walked backward, each step leaving a deep foot print on the ground.

Each foot prints also are very hot like it was stamped by some hot iron. 

Varnikar might not learn the martial arts of the Ming continent but the martial arts of the Thirteen tribe also have some methods.

When he landed on the ground, he landed on the stoney area near the bridge. 

he directed all his strength to his legs, and his feet sank half a foot into the stones as if they were plows. 

He created two terrifying ravines that were more than three feet long on the stone ground, and a red hue appeared on his face.

He quickly takes a deep breath trying to stabilize his breathing and his posture is quickly corrected ready for the next attack.

His palm is also red like it was burning but Varnikar ignores the pain and the pulsing feeling on his entire hand

Arial also retreated backward and he too like Varnikar somersaulted on the air first before landing back on the ground.

His hand and his entire body trembles as he felt like he is being burned in fire.

But his inner energy is almost inexhaustible.

He circulated the Enlightenment Sutra in his body and he also uses the Divine Water. 

The moment he uses the Dive Water that is in his Sea of Energy, he could feel the heat in his body slowly calmed down and the pulsing feeling, the feeling that his veins is being burned disappeared in almost an instant.

A second later, his body felt refreshed like he is on a hill enjoying the breezy wind of a summer afternoon.

And when he landed, the heat all dissipated. One of Varnikar most powerful punch was neutralized by Arial using the Divine Water, a Divine essence adept in healing and rejuvenation.

It is only now that Arial understood how miraculous divine essence is. 

He even thought that with his inner energy practice, his Enlightenment Sutra, his divine skill of the Blood Heavenly Absorbing technique, who could defeat him in this world?

But there is still some pain in his body. 

Especially on his palm

His palm while no longer felt like it is on fire, the pain is pulsing. He landed but he did not want to let go of this opportunity. 

At the same time, he landed on the ground Varnikar also landed on the ground.

Arial quickly dashes forward, his hand in a piercing motion shot forward.

Varnikar saw it and he also moves forward the distance of a few feet to them is not that long. 

One dash forward, gliding above the grass, flying forward toward each other, the distance of a dozen feet is like an inch.

The hand thrusted forward, the palm deflects the hand, the kicks rises up to the sky. 

The shoulder slams toward the kicking attack, palm clashes, kicks crosses, hundred variations of attacks are unleashed, a flurry barrage of fist and kicks exchanges, blows traded and methods of battle is performed

The sound of dragon roaring and sizzling sound of fire burning the air echoes all over their battle area.

Varnikar clothes is burn by the fire as his fire become solid and appears real. 

Lightning made a festival in the sky, illuminating the figure of the two fighters under the heavens, the thunder screams and the wind harshly blew like an oncoming of a storm. 

They were so fast that their attack only left afterimages. 

Their battle location slowly change location as they are now on the bridge, trading blows and kicks.

It was then that Arial in the middle of exchanging fist suddenly roars toward Varnikar. A loud shout that sounded like an injured and angry dragon's roar escaped his mouth.

"ROAR!"
