Age of Heroes (Age of Heroes Chronicles)

Chapter 646: The conclusion of the duel i

The injured dragon's roar turned into a force that charged forward with an indomitable spirit. 

The air distorted and this powerful roar could be heard all the way back to the wall.

Varnikar who was about to execute a punch toward Arial chest saw the waves of air that is coming towards him.

Even though he has a large body, Varnikar is very agile. 

He kicks the ground gently and he rises up into the air, the wind under his control lift him up and he glides backward as light as a feather

The Dragon Roar however miss its target and hit the edge of the stone bridge.

BOOM! The stone of the edge of the stone bridge exploded into fragment of pebbles and small stones, falling down on the stream of water below. 

Arial felt his throat felt a bit strained but he had created an opening. Before, they were entangled with each other 

In that situation Arial could not unleash his powerful attack. But now that there is a distance between them, Arial did not hesitate to kick the ground backward, and shot out like a cannonball toward Varnikar

Varnikar had already landed the ground and in almost a second later, Arial is already in front of Varnikar.

Varnikar at this time was shocked and cursed in his heart that he was tricked.

He should have chosen other methods before.

Battles like this, even though it appears like they were just trading blows and kicks is actually a strategic battle.

When to retreat, when to close the distance, what moves that needs to be used and so on and so forth. 

A palm shot out and a roaring sound shocks the Earth.

This is the first move of his advanced Dragon Palm, the Proud Dragon Repents

The palm-generated wind was accompanied by a dragon's roar. It enveloped all the directions in which Varnikar could possibly escape to. 

The wind that is around him seems to be dispersed in that very moment

The air froze, and the roar was so fast that it could make a person gasp in amazement.

Bang!

Arial felt like his palm crashed onto a metal wall. In that brief moment, Varnikar strengthen his body. And his body seems to turns golden in that brief moment like the Iron Cloth martial skill of Linzi Temple.

But the power of the move did not dissipate. Even though it did not immediately incapacitate Varnikar, the bridge that they are on began trembling and cracking all over.

Arial also did not stop. The initiative is on his hand right now

And even though he felt his body trembled and shaking because of how sturdy and strong Varnikar body is, Varnikar did not go out scot free from the exchange.

Even though his body withstand the palm attack, he is just enduring it right now, hoping the regeneration blessing of the Cassini to quickly heal him

If this was any other person, they would have suffered the entire collapse of their lungs but Varnikar could still fight which is amazing enough

But Varnikar also knows that he must quickly breakout from the current situation. The energy that is entering his body violently is the energy of the Dragon Palm first move, the Proud Dragon Repents.

He felt his entire internal organs is on fire right now. 

Arial kicks toward Varnikar left rib and Varnikar push the kick with his right hand. 

the moment that the hand deflects Arial kicks, Arial uses that force to spin himself into the air and then thrusted a palm attack again

The second move of the Dragon Palm, the Dragon Soars in the Sky. 

The sound of roars echoes again and this time Varnikar brought all of the abilities into the open. 

His body suddenly bursted with energy but Arial was not afraid. 

Varnikar slam his palm with Arial and Varnikar takes a few steps backward on the bridge.

The bridge had already been cracked before and now as the force of Arial palm was forcefully directed to the ground, the bridge area collapsed.

Swish!

The sound of the air moving and changing direction echoes around their battlefield. 

Varnikar had no other choice then to jump into the air. Arial was at the air when he executed the second move.

So when his palm clashed with Varnikar palm the fact that he is on the air, makes it easy for his to direct the force into the surrounding. 

He had calculated it in his mind since the moment that he saw the bridge cracked and that is why he uses the Dragon Soars the Sky since he knows that he could easily dispel the force of any attack that Varnikar would do to him 

while Varnikar himself would be forced into either falling into the stream of water below where Arial could storm him with a barrage of the Dragon Palm moves or flew into the sky to disperse the remaining energy force of the first move of the Dragon palm and Arial could execute the third palm move The Dragon Roams the Plains

Arial improvement to the Dragon palm had increases the power. 

Each time another palm move is executed, the force of the power increases. It borrows the energy that is already around him and stimulate all of the meridians in his body.

Meridians is a foreign concept in Human Continent but it is not so for the martial artist of the Ming continent.

Arial once again thrusted his palm forward and another apparition of a dragon appears, the roars seems to become louder like he was executing the Dragon Roar 

only this time the screams actually come from him pushing his palm forward and the wind around him screams

The space around him bends and sways

Varnikar is in a tense situation right now but he remains calms. He did not yet go all out and his chance of victory is not yet sealed.

On the other hand, the advantage that is built by Varnikar no longer having the chance to change his direction was used by Arial perfectly. 

He began attacking fiercely toward Varnikar. 

'Hyargh!!' he shouted as barrage of palm attack is unleashed and once again the dance between them begin again, palm clashing with palm, fist thrusted, fist deflected, kicks sweeping the wind, kicks blocking the wind

Then in the first moment when Varnikar deflect one of his kick, another Dragon Palm move is executed

ROAR!

The sound of roaring once again exploded in the battlefield. 

Varnikar eyes narrowed and even though his hand had deflected one of the kicks attack, Varnikar had expected that it was the precursor for the Outlander Monarch to use his Dragon Palm

So, he immediately exerted force on his hand and his speed increase, ready to deflect the attack.

But halfway through, he could see that he could not use his hand. It would not be fast enough to accept the attack

He had no choice to use his feet to block that palm attack.

He kicks the air as he rises up a bit on the air and his foot shot out. 

Varnikar kicks the palm with his left and his left foot broke almost instantly, the sound of the breaking of bones could be heard clearly. 

Arial frowned

'It should have destroyed most of his bones yet he is still fine. What a powerful body!' he thought to himself. 

Like Arial Varnikar also have divine essence and in that moment before he kicks his foot, his body is covered by a swirling of wind.

This wind shrouded his entire body, invisible to the eyes but to those who clash with him, they could feel and sense that wind protecting him from attack and diffusing any attacks that come near

Most weapons and most attack would be dulled when attacking him but the power of the Dragon Palm has risen by thirty percent.

The pressure is enough to bend steel like one would scorch up a paper

The moment the palm attack collided with that kick, Arial palm attack dispelled the wind spirals all over Varnikar body

Arial could even saw the wind exploded to all four directions, turning into gales of sharp wind that cut the ground deep.

the roar of a dragon shakes the space around them and it feels like the space around them seems to be cracking

Arial inner energy that is projected out is very pure, very compact and dense and because of all of this it becomes very powerful

the stream of water below exploded into the sky, the banks of the stream also was shaken and parts of it slide down to the water stream muddying it with the color of the soil 

The exchange between them from the moment Varnikar jumped from the exploding bridge and accompanied with Arial barrage of attack, barely two seconds passes, so Varnikar had not yet even landed on the ground

In that two second, they exchange blows and trade lethal attacks against each other and as Varnikar was about to land on the ground, Arial uses the Dragon Palm.

The force of this Dragon Palm is very different from the first move of the Dragon Palm.

the first move is powerful enough but it is an into, a precursor to gather energy for the next move of the Dragon Palm

The power of the palm tears the space, the roar of the dragon echoes in the battlefield, the proud dragon goes wild!

Fourth move of the Dragon Palm follows and a stronger roar echoes and shocks Varnikar. 

It felt like someone was roaring beside his ears. The water stream vibrates and a powerful force seems to exploded out

The Proud Dragon Descend from the Celestial Palace

Whoosh!

ROOOOAR!!!

The space itself almost breaks, and another explosion of shockwave spreads out. 

Varnikar who had just had his left foot bones broken, changes his direction in midair and brought up his arm his arm and thrusted his palm forward.

Only this time his palm is no longer only shrouded with fire but with thunders and lightning.
