Guild Wars

Chapter 1327: Marital Dispute

The fabric of space itself began to break under the force of Shuangtian’s punch, and Draco’s formerly confident expression became slightly solemn. He still continued with his catching motion, and just when his hand was about to connect with Shuangtian’s, he immediately focused his space branch to form a hand-sized portal in front of her fist.

Shuangtian’s fist went through, but the power of it caused the edges of the small portal to crack severely, on the verge of shattering. However, it still didn’t change the fact that it had worked, causing her to unleash her superpowered blow into the mini pocket space Draco created.

Meanwhile, Draco’s other fist rose upwards from the side, a blade similar to the one destroyed before forming, this time made of destruction energy, showing how serious he was about this battle. His speed was fast, and he put his full force into this attack, wanting to see if he could break Shuangtian’s transcendent defenses.

Shuangtian remained in a punching motion, seemingly too slow to react to the sudden change, but her expression, full of concentration, never faltered. Rather than that, she didn’t change her smile, but something occurred that shocked both Eva and Draco.

Shuangtian’s flesh warped and shifted, red tendrils that looked like coiled muscles flashing up and down her skin that eventually converged to the side Draco was punching, forming a thick shield made of this muscle-like substance.

The sword struck this substance and bounced back, unable to pierce through as it was literally her own bodily flesh. However, the destruction energy that made up its form left behind, burning upon the flesh and corroding rapidly, causing Shuangtian to sever that part of her flesh casually.

Draco disappeared from where he stood, appearing a short distance away with a slight frown. "So that was your Mass branch? Indeed, it suits your powerset quite well, but it looks..."@@@@

Shuangtian maintained her punching stance and casually rubbed the part that had deformed slightly. "I know, it looks ugly. I never used it because I did not want to disgust you guys, but your strength prompted me to do so."

Draco tilted his head with amusement. "Ugly? Far from. I was going to say it looks exactly like the one from that game, or one could say your ability inspired it, which means that someone in the Pangu lineage in the past manifested it."

"It’s possible, but unlikely. Whatever the case, our battle is not over, so prepare yourself, husband, because I will not stop again," Shuangtian warned, her body exploding with brownish energy as she tensed up.

Draco hummed with interest and crouched, pressing a hand to the floor. Immediately, his power seeped into the world, creating a domain of darkness akin to what he unleashed upon the Origin Gods and left them helpless.

Shuangtian’s brows furrowed as Draco had highlighted her precise weakness, which was that she could hit very hard and be hit very hard, but couldn’t sense enemies that well. Any sensory ability she had, Draco had that and better, able to suppress hers easily.

Still, Shuangtian remained calm and clapped her hands together, forming a burst of power that tried to dispel the domain but only caused it to shake. Since the domain did not have a fixed point, she couldn’t strike it to shatter it. On top of that, if she used an indiscriminate punch with her full power, she could destroy the area but would also destroy the planet as well as the solar system.

Likewise, Draco was also limited because any of his blows could cause this pocket space to shatter and unleash havoc upon reality, so while this was a duel, it was more about contained skill than raw brute force.

Draco appeared in front of Shuangtian, who expected him to attack from behind. He then punched out, his fist coated with destruction energy of high purity. Despite being caught offguard, Shuangtian was able to respond by clashing with his fist, but her expression changed when he punched Draco into a blood mist.

BANG!

She felt a huge force hit her lower back from behind, revealing Draco’s true body as he grinned cruelly. He had not held back with that one at all, channeling all his various powers that enhanced his physical power into that blow and focusing it into Shuangtian’s body so that none affected the world around them.

Even Eva, with all her power, felt slightly uncomfortable as the shockwaves blew over her, like a person standing near a very loud speaker that was blasting music during a party.

The main bodies of Shuangtian and Draco clashed in the center, trading blows imbued with their various powers as they continually tried to outsmart and one-up each other. However, the variety of their bloodline powers meant that they had ways to counter each other, and even to counter each other’s countering.

At this rate, it would be just like their three-week fight in space over the dispute surrounding Maria, with no real outcome.

Of course, that was now impossible since between that time and now, Draco had acquired a new set of powers and abilities.

Draco scanned Shuangtian up and down after a particularly brutal clash and saw that the mini titaness was completely unscathed and unfatigued, whatever damage she had suffered in this time long having healed completely while leaving her in a perfect state as if the fight had just started.

"So broken..." Draco sighed deeply, understanding how the primordials and the Origin Gods felt about his existence.

Even he was struggling to take down Shuangtian, so those beings who hated him to the core and wished for his death must feel even worse. The Evil Trio currently had top-tier offense and defense but poor control over it, so they couldn’t bring the offensive power to bear.

But like with Qiong Qi back then, the defense was still there, so unless you could crush them in one blow, there was simply no way to take them down.

Luckily, Draco had a way to negate that.

A strange character formed on his forehead that he had only used once before, during a fight for his very life. Eva and Shuangtian saw the symbol and their faces changed greatly, because they knew what it meant but not how far it could go.

Draco pointed to Shuangtian and spat one word: "Seal!"

At the places where Draco struck her, various black sigils formed that crawled over her skin and rushed to her forehead, to the exact same spot as where Draco’s symbol was to slowly form the very same image.

Shuangtian’s eyes widened as she felt her power locked within, unable to call forth her mighty strength like before as it was separated by a thick wall. Of course, she immediately battered that wall continuously, her face becoming red with exertion as she used the entirety of her full force.

Draco, who was smiling at having succeeded, suddenly showed an expression of shock as the symbol on his forehead glowed and he had to exert all his power to maintain the seal.

And so, a strange stalemate began, with Shuangtian red-faced as if she was constipated and Draco exerting effort like a chunnibyou when trying to go super saiyan in real life. Both of them looked so comical that Eva sneakily snapped a picture for future use.

However, beneath the silent exchange was a tremendous battle that could cause Origin-grade beings to cough blood and lose limbs. This exchange was also seemingly poised to last forever due to the special nature of it, so after a whole day of it, Shuangtian eventually sighed.

"Fine, I concede," she muttered sullenly, her shoulders slumping down as she released her effort.
