73  73. The Final Battle - 3

As Orion thought about all that, Quent vanished from his position.

Orion only saw a red streak of light flashing towards him before Quent appeared in front of him, his right claw slashing diagonally at his waist.

Orion immediately used Burdened Gravity to increase his weight as much as he could and blocked the claw with his sword.

"Boom!"

A resounding shockwave reverberated throughout the area as Orion's sword and Quent's claw clashed against each other.

The ground beneath their feet was completely destroyed by the sheer momentum of their clash.

As they were in a deadlock, Quent attacked with his left claw towards Orion's head.

Seeing that, Orion swiftly reacted and kicked Quent with his right leg.

"Boom!"

Quent stumbled back, as the kick from heavyweight Orion was too much to handle.

But he quickly stabilized himself. However, this was enough time for Orion's three swords to cross the distance between them.

Arriving in front of Quent, his three swords attacked him, but the result was something Orion had already anticipated: the swords couldn't deal any damage to Quent.

However, the swords had done their job. They had bought enough time for him to create the main attack that was within his hands.

A ball of red and blue color could be seen being held tightly by Orion's hands. It emanated a fiery red and frosty blue aura around Orion, causing the ground beneath Orion's feet to freeze in frost while some areas scorched to black.

Its size was only that of a light bulb, but Orion could feel that the energy inside was enough to kill anyone in the bronze rank.

He made this attack by combining his Frozen Torment with Velocity Burst. He had this idea a while ago but hadn't gotten a need or an opportunity to implement it.

However, his battle with Quent forced Orion to use something new, knowing all his attacks were simply ineffective against him.

"That's a very condensed form of ice and fire." Quent appeared surprised as he looked at the red and blue-shining ball in Orion's hands. "You have compressed both the flames of fire and the frost of ice to create this? But how did you seamlessly merge and combine the other two when fire and ice are opposite each other?"

Now that Orion thought about it, he really didn't know how he did that. He simply implemented what he had in mind, and the result was in his hands. The problem that Quent talked about when merging opposite elements didn't even occur to him.

'Is it because of my Null Body?'

This was the only reason he could think of why the problem of combining two opposite elements didn't occur to him.

As he thought of that, he looked at Quent.

"I will tell you now," he said, smiling at Quent as he disappeared from the area.

"Where did he go?"

Quent couldn't understand what happened. One moment his opponent was standing right in front of him, and at another, he disappeared from his vision.

'Damn, this brat has quite a trick up his sleeves.'

He felt that this kid was unusually strong. Although he hadn't been outside the dungeon for thousands of years, he still recalled the strength a bronze-rank mortal should possess. But fighting Orion, he felt that Orion's strength was way stronger than any bronze-rank mortal he had seen previously. It was to the point that he could fight toe-to-toe with him and not lose.

But he wasn't that worried about it. Even if he were to lose against Orion, he would not die. There was a reason he handed his godly powers to Orion. He wasn't foolish enough to let someone else control his life by giving up his powers.

"Pick-a-boo!"

As Quent was looking around, searching for Orion, a voice sounded behind him when he suddenly felt both cold and hot.

"Damn."

He cursed, thinking of that ball in Orion's hand, and from the sensation he felt from behind, he was sure the kids attacked. But it was too late for him to react.

Orion, who appeared behind Quent, unleashed the ball of ice and fire at Quent.

"Whammmm!"

At that moment, a wave of red and blue light released from the ball in Orion's hands and moved towards Quent like a thick laser light.

The path along its way froze and burned down before the wave arrived in front of Quent, who couldn't react in time and hit his back.

"Agggahhhh!"

Quent screamed after being continuously hit by the wave of blue and red light, causing him to sometimes feel scorching heat and a bone chilling cold.

A smile appeared on Orion's face upon hearing Quent's scream. It was a smile of victory.

Since the fight between them started, he hadn't been able to injure him in the slightest. It felt like no matter how he attacked him, the result wouldn't be in his favor.

Therefore, now that witnessing his new attack had an effect on Quent, he felt satisfied with it.

"Agggahhhh!"

Quent continued to scream as Orion continued to release the wave from his ice and fire ball for two to three minutes straight before the ball in Orion's hands disintegrated into nothingness.

As the wave of heat and freezing died down, Quent finally had a moment of relief. He hadn't thought that the ball of fire and ice could be used in this way.

"A domain comes into the category of a god," he continued, his face full of desdain. "It's just mortals' foolish thinking that they would be able to learn this and ascend to the rank of a god."

Most importantly, he was caught off-guard, and, as a result, he couldn't react in time to Orion's attack; otherwise, he believed that he would have definitely handled that attack properly and not ended up like this.

Thinking of that attack, he turned to look at Orion, who appeared to be looking at him right now.

"You kid," Quent said with irritation. "I have had enough of your trickery. It's time I end this."

As the words left his mouth, his body began to release white flames—milk-like white flames—and before Orion could react, he found that a portion of the surrounding area, including him, was enclosed in a dome-like structure.

The center of the dome was Quent, and the whole dome appeared to be burning with white flames.

"It's so hot here."

It seemed to Orion as though he were standing in front of a volcano with how hot he felt right now.

At that moment, Quent, who seemed to be focusing on something, turned his attention to him.

"You know what this is?" he said, sneering. "This is called domain. We gods are able to use this technique, but not mortals. There has never been a mortal who has ever mastered a domain. If I am not mistaken, you mortals train in a technique called the Three Divine Ways. You know what this technique is for?"

Orion could only speculate on one thing after hearing Quent's words.

"Are you talking about this domain?" He asked.

"Hehehehe, right," Quent smiled. "The last two stages of this technique were designed to master a domain. But mortals are either too foolish to accomplish that or simply unable to learn how to cast a domain for millions of years. Even now, I doubt there has been one who has learned to use a domain."

"A domain comes into the category of a god," he continued, his face full of desdain. "It's just mortals' foolish thinking that they would be able to learn this and ascend to the rank of a god."

Orion wondered if that was why the Three Divine Ways were so difficult to learn, or if he simply couldn't learn that because his body didn't possess mana.
