Chapter 73: I Got Your Sequence (Patreon)

Through his far-sight…

Hitogami (Human God) saw Rudeus standing on the Red Dragon Mountain Range with the Dragon God Orsted.

At last, the declaration of Hitogami's Apostles had been made.

This was the moment!!!

Hitogami's grin could not have stretched any wider.

Magnificent!!!

Rudeus's descendant… would one day join the Dragon God Orsted's banner and complete the seal on him. But now, thanks to his scheming, Rudeus had come face to face with the Dragon God Orsted. Every problem would end here, at this very moment!!!

To watch his enemy… personally strike down the father of his own powerful teammate…

To strangle the Dragon God's future ally in the past, before that ally had even been born!!

What a feeling! Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!!!

Hitogami rolled around on the ground in delight and excitement.

The Central Continent, the Red Dragon Mountain Range.

The moment Rudeus finished his declaration, the Dragon God Orsted charged straight at him, cold and fast.

But halfway through the charge, several purple beams fell from the sky and struck him in an instant.

Beams like that would have vaporized an Emperor-rank like Ruijerd on the spot. The Dragon God Orsted, however, simply blocked them with his battle aura and kept them off his body.

Even so, the beams brought his advance to a halt.

Brow furrowed, he glanced up at the sky overhead.

Truthfully… the laser attack that had just fired startled even the Dragon God Orsted.

That was no magic attack. It was a purely physical one!?

Yet it looked so much like magic. And after all the chantless magic Rudeus had just shown, there was no doubt about it: Rudeus was a formidable mage. So what was this strange physical attack supposed to be??

Absolutely confident in his own strength, the Dragon God Orsted met such an odd situation by naturally starting to turn it over in his mind.

But at that very moment!!!!

Rudeus, standing across from the Dragon God Orsted, was suddenly wreathed in violent surges of energy.

The fluctuations were such that even the Dragon God Orsted's eyes widened slightly.

Rumble!!!

The immense energy wrapped Rudeus's whole body in golden, blazing flames. Even the snow-white ground around him was instantly!! vaporized and turned to molten earth, glowing red and streaming white smoke!!!

Massive shockwaves kept sweeping outward, blowing the snow away and throwing up dust that filled the sky. The shockwaves kept blasting, and the dust was hurled clear.

The sky, which had been dark and gloomy, revealed a brilliant blue before the searing surge of energy.

In truth, at this moment!!

It wasn't only the Dragon God Orsted who stared. Hitogami stared too.

Neither of them had any idea what Rudeus was doing now. Why was he unleashing such intense, scorching energy!!!

And if his outside already looked like this, what violent energy must be churning inside Rudeus's body!?

Besides!!

Was this energy surge really something a human could control??

Even in the age of the gods, tens of thousands of years ago, wouldn't such raw energy have been beyond anyone's control???

What… on earth was he doing???

And this was Rudeus, having fully stabilized the nuclear fusion state!!!

Rudeus laughed, his mouth spitting sparks of light: "Thanks for not attacking me during that opening. Not that it would've mattered. Even if you had, I've got the means to counter it. Anyway, never mind. Let's begin this fight for real!!!"

As his words fell…

Hundreds of thousands of purple beams rained down from the sky, striking all around the Dragon God Orsted.

Rudeus, meanwhile, strode forward and charged at the Dragon God Orsted.

In close combat, Rudeus hadn't trained much and had little experience. But he held to one belief: with enough power and speed, no technique was needed at all.

So…

The moment he moved, he was riddled with openings before the battle-hardened Dragon God.

Yet against even such a plain, ordinary punch, the Dragon God didn't dare take it head-on.

He drew his divine sword… and slashed viciously at Rudeus.

As for the hundreds of thousands of purple beams sealing off his escape, they were completely unnecessary to the Dragon God Orsted. His absolute confidence meant he would never choose to run!!!

In battle, he was the strongest!!!

And the result proved it!!!!

As the divine sword in the Dragon God Orsted's hand met Rudeus's fist, the blade sheared Rudeus's arm clean off.

But in the next instant!!!!

A violent explosion tore outward from the severed arm.

At the same time!!! Rudeus, right there within reach, blazed with an even more dazzling light.

It was… the sign that he was about to explode!!!

Seeing this, the Dragon God Orsted swung his blade again and cut Rudeus's body into many pieces.

But the explosion was not stopped!!!

Rumble!!!!

A massive mushroom cloud rose slowly into the sky.

The Dragon God Orsted, half his body blown away, sword still in hand, leapt out of the blast radius.

But at this moment… in another direction, Rudeus, regenerated in an instant, grinned.

"Your body sequence has been analyzed. I've got it!!"

Bang!!!

After landing, the limbs the Dragon God Orsted had lost were already growing back fast.

After a few leaps, he set down on the ground and turned his head toward Rudeus, who stood on another peak not far away.

His brow furrowed, and he charged at Rudeus with fierce speed.
