490 Dragon Trial Part 1

"It seems even the lightning from a dragon is not stronger than my Lightning Tribulation…" Alex smiled, seeing his array managed to suppress the lightning completely. He remembered how he needed to use multiple Rank 4 Lightning Rod Arrays just to withstand the ninth strike of Martial King Lightning Tribulation.

For his Martial Emperor Tribulation, he could only use Rank 5 Lightning Rod Array because of the rule. Unfortunately, he took another step forward and used a Rank 6 Lightning Rod Array, completely suppressing the Lightning from Qeigess. The array that he was supposed to learn later in the future.

This array showed Alex's feelings and how much he wanted to defeat him.

"What? It can attract Young Lord Qeigess's lightning and completely suppress it? What is that Rune?"

"Impossible!"

Even the Dragon King narrowed his eyes, not believing it too. He took a glimpse of Alex's expression, realizing Alex had been planning to use this. He rolled his eyes to his daughter and asked. "Do you know anything about this?"

The Dragon Princess, Lexi, could only shake her head, not knowing the answer. "There is no information about him being a Rune Master… All we have is the information when he was in the Empyrean Guild. After going to the Phoenix Continent, he does not appear that much."

"This… might be bad for Qeigess… He basically can't use his lightning anymore because of this rune… No, not only him. This rune might be the bane of every single Lightning Dragon…" The Dragon King furrowed his eyebrows, thinking about what he should do next after knowing this.

Little did they know was Alex had tested his Lightning Rod Array with his disciple, Rose. At that time, he was making a Rank 1 Lightning Rod Array for her advancement to Martial Master and Rose suddenly suggested something to him, which was to use Lightning Rod Array to counter her element.

Alex was amazed at first because he never thought something like that. Unfortunately, the test was a failure because the Lightning Rod Array could only attract the Heavenly Lightning sent by the Lightning Tribulation Cloud.

Even with his in-depth knowledge, he could not recreate the Lightning Rod Array for this. He almost gave up at this point until he stumbled into an accident. Rose suddenly lost control of her Lightning Arrow and hit his Lightning Rod Array when he activated it.

Surprisingly, the Lightning Element was really absorbed by the Lightning Rod Array. It turned out that there was a part of the Lightning Rod Array which could absorb the Lightning Element, albeit the suction was minimal and not suited for combat.

If it was powerful, many Array Masters might use it against people who had Thunder Elements. However, it would be different for Alex's Lightning Rod Array.

The memory about him using Lightning Rod Array in his Martial King Tribulation appeared. If the suction force was small, then he could just use a different ranking of Lightning Rod Array.

He could imagine what kind of powerful lightning he would face when he had his Martial Emperor Lightning Tribulation, but he could only use Rank 5 Lightning Rod Array. This showed the real prowess of Lightning Rod Array.

If he used his Rank 6 Lightning Rod Array that needed to deal with his Martial Monarch Tribulation, which was far more powerful than the upcoming Lightning Tribulation despite having a small suction force, it would still be enough to deal with this puny lightning.

Of course, because no one knew about this array, they did not notice that Alex just used six Rank 6 Lightning Rod Arrays, that were connected by his s.p.a.ce Gate, in order to suppress it completely. In fact, because the array would not attract the lightning, Alex was forced to make a few small gates just to make it look bent and change direction.

Using this tactic would need a lot of Spiritual Energy and Alex was not planning to use it more than once.

He just wanted to create a restricted environment where Qeigess thought he could not use his lightning anymore. With this, he would rely on his strength prowess, giving Alex many opportunities to attack.

And his goal was achieved when he looked at the expression on Qeigess's face.

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! What is that?"

"Nothing. I am lucky to have a Lightning Element Dragon as my opponent, since I have a perfect counter for you that can restrict your lightning. Now, I am wondering if you can fight with just your strength alone…" Alex made a smug smile, taunting Qeigess.

Alex had always used this technique in the past to manipulate people's minds and emotions.

Hearing his taunt, Qeigess quickly roared before throwing his fist toward him. "Why are all of you panicking? It would seem not a single one of you, including you human, has even the slightest inkling of just how much a power gap exists between him and I, Qeigess.

"So allow me to take this chance to make it clear in terms even a human can understand. Even if you were to unleash ten of you at me simultaneously, you would still not be a match for I, Qeigess.

"If even despite that, you still think using this kind of trick to do battle against me, then so be it! Since you have not learned anything from a few months ago, at least remember this, I shall never falter, the one who will perish is my enemy!"

In front of this fist and that speech, Alex only smiled. He simply took out his rank 5 Sword and waved it, shooting a Sword Wave toward the fist.

"Seven Stars Cut."

"!!!" Qeigess had never seen a human, who should be a mage, suddenly wielded a sword in his hand, sending a very powerful attack. The Sword Wave contained his powerful domain as well as his Fire Element.

Although he did not use his Pure Fire, it still created a Sword Wave powerful enough to leave a mark on Qeigess's hand.

"Boom!" It exploded after clas.h.i.+ng with Qeigess's fist for a few seconds.

*Roar!*

Qeigess roared to the sky, feeling hurt. All the people could see a huge sword mark on Qeigess's hand, looking very painful. Despite that, Alex knew that this wound was too shallow.

"What just happened…" The Dragon King was shaken. "Why… Why is he using a sword…"

No one could answer that question except Stina, albeit she did not have any desire to reveal her master's power. At first, Stina was worried about Alex, but after seeing he managed to seal away Qeigess's lightning, he should be fine.

Alex did not stop there. He instantly took out his spear, surprising everyone once again. They could relate if he used two swords or one spear, but no one knew about someone who could simultaneously wield two different weapons.

They did not know why, but the image of the previous Supreme appeared in their mind. In that image, Alex's Sword and Spear became similar to the Supreme's Dragon and Phoenix Wings.

To different things fused, creating a single ent.i.ty that was powerful and overbearing. The Dragon King was shaken to even think something like that.

Alex then leaped toward Qeigess, waving his sword again.

"Seven Stars Cut!"

This time, Alex opened his eyes wide because he could not believe the conclusion. After shooting the same Sword Wave to Qeigess again, Qeigess simply raised his hand, trying to block his sword wave with just the scale on his hand.

"!!!" Although it was not his full power, Qeigess should not be able to block that attack, considering the previous attack caused damage to him. He thought, 'Is the scale on his hand stronger than his fist?'

After a while, Alex thought it would be the case. Even so, he needed to confirm it first and sent another sword wave while concentrating his Spirit Eyes toward the clash.

Surprisingly, there was not even a single dent on his scale. Alex could see that he was concentrating his energy on his scale so it would not break, making him wonder if he should use his Pure Fire again.

After some thoughts, he decided to probe Qeigess's power. The trump card should be saved for the last after all.

Before that, Alex suddenly asked out loud to the Dragon King. "If that wing somehow gets cut like his hand, will it count as irreplaceable damage?"

The Dragon King did not know why he asked this, but answered him nonetheless. "No. We have the ability to recover our torn wings. Of course, if you decide to separate our wings from our body, then it will count as one since we can't regenerate our wing again. It is like if we cut your limbs, you can't grow one again."

Alex nodded, thinking it was enough. He clenched both his weapons and smiled. "I don't need to hold back then."

"You human, don't be too full of yourself!" Qeigess roared, seeing Alex talk big despite being unable to crack his scale.

Alex simply pointed his finger toward Qeigess and released another beam attack.

"Flame of Extinction."

Seeing this dangerous attack, Qeigess raised his hand, blocking it with his scale. However, this time, Alex managed to melt a little bit of his scale, though not at the point where it became molten lava.

In that instant, Alex swung both of his weapons, creating a cross Sword Wave.

Unfortunately, he did not know that a Dragon's scale was a kind of s.h.i.+eld for a dragon. This was also one of the reasons why the people in the past wanted a dragon. They could harvest their scale to make a s.h.i.+eld because Armor would restrict one's mobility. They would certainly want to avoid that because the enemy could strike at the part where there was no armor. However, it would be different for a s.h.i.+eld. They did not even need something like s.h.i.+eld intent since it would have been strengthened by many materials by the Forging Master.

Just like Qeigess in front of him, his scale could be turned into a rank 6 s.h.i.+eld, making him like a mobile fortress. His attack was rendered useless.

"I have said. Your useless trick won't be useful against me!" He threw a fist again toward Alex.

Seeing this, Alex took a few steps back and sent another Sword wave.

Qeigess only snorted as he opened his fist and grabbed the sword wave with his claw before shattering it into pieces.

"Oi Oi…" Alex made a weird expression, looking at the claw that almost reached him. He snapped his finger again, creating a teleportation array below his feet.

"Bam!"

That claw destroyed the ground, creating a big crater on the ground. All of them could see that Alex already disappeared from that place and they just could not believe what they just saw.

"He… he just used a Teleportation Rune!"

"Isn't Fire his element?"

"Impossible. Are you saying he has two elements?"

The dragons were baffled while Stina could only sigh. Alex had consulted about this with her. In this world, a person like Lilian, who had two elements, was rare but not that rare. Usually, there were at least five people within a thousand years, so they had a bit of a record about it.

There were three ways to get dual elements. They could get it from a Pure Element user and make their Sacrificial Element as their second element. The second way was to be born with it, but this was extremely rare. Last but not least, he could acquire or inherit it from someone's, just like Alex and Lilian. Alex acquired his s.p.a.ce Element from the system while Lilian had her own backstory.

"He has two elements." Stina simply answered all of their doubts in a single sentence. Since it was already out, she felt there was no need to hide it. However, she also added, "I need to warn you first. If you try to make a move against him, you will have a full war with my Phoenix Race."

All the dragons fell silent as they looked at her, gulping down. They never thought Stina would go as far as that.

Meanwhile, Alex had appeared behind Qeigess and waved his sword again. "Seven Stars Cut!"

Because of the sudden reveal of s.p.a.ce Element, Qeigess did not have enough time to react as the Sword Wave already reached his back.

"Boom!"

"Roar Roar!"
