Roar!!
Gunsi's roared contained hidden power the shook all the people that had parasitic essence eater in their bodies. It swept out in every direction and those who heard it felt a strange sensation.
"Argh!!"
Torkez and the three remaining royal guards fell on their knees. Extreme pain assaulted their bodies as they felt that they were inside a furnace.
The remaining three royal guards stopped fighting when they saw that Souta killed everyone and took their emperor. They knew that they couldn't do anything anymore but who would have thought that the founder of the empire would appear in this situation possessing a powerful might.
Even the generals and the commanders of the empire who were fighting in outer space felt the same sensation. Lydia also suffered the same thing, their parasitic essence eater was going wild and extreme.
The whole battle turned into a standstill as all the generals and commanders turned out incapable of moving. They didn't even know what's going on in their parasite.
Swoosh!
Souta looked at the two-meter tall figure of Gunsi with interest in his eyes. This guy was the strongest opponent that he was going to face ever since he left the Great World Imperium.
Just by looking closely, he could feel that this man named Gunsi was close to S-rank. His liquefied mana was so dense that it could counter his best feram to a certain degree. Not just the density, the amount of mana that he has was simply amazing. The amount of mana that he got was even larger than an A-rank expert in Great World Imperium.
He glanced at his system and thought that if he defeated this man he would be able to complete the chain quest. The final quest that he got after conquering five planets was to overthrow the empire. And this was within his expectations.
"What now? Have you felt fear?" Gunsi asked as he looked down at Souta.
Souta lifted his head as he looked at Gunsi in the eyes. "I don't like when someone is looking at me from above." He said in a cold tone.
"You're still calm even after I showed you my true power!!" Gunsi said as he raised his fist and it turned into a meter large ball with spikes. He then smashed towards Souta.
Swoosh!
'So fast!' Souta said inwardly as he moved his body to the side to avoid it.
Boom!
The ball of flesh that Gunsi smashed on the ground shook the entire palace. It was so powerful that several large cracks formed on it and after a few moments, the whole ground collapsed.
'He's not just fast his strength is also several times stronger than an A-rank. To think that he would have this much strength.' Souta said and he saw the spikes on the ball of flesh stretched out in his direction.
He tightly gripped the vajra sword in his hand and slashed the spikes that come at him. Then, he flew away from Gunsi and noticed that Torkez was falling down beneath the ground along with the three remaining royal guards.
Ohm!
He used a little bit of his gravity power and controlled Torkez body. He placed him on the edge where the gravity field lies and asked, "Are you okay, Torkez?"
"No, I can't control the parasite inside my body. It's running wild." Torkez replied to him with a pained look on his face.
'What's going on?' Souta was confused. Even the three remaining royal guards have the same condition as Torkez.
In his vision, flesh stretched out from Gunsi's body and strangled the three royal guards.
"Such a waste of parasite..."
Gunsi's voice sounded as the flesh extracted the parasitic essence eater inside the royal guard's bodies.
Souta widened his eyes when he saw this. He couldn't believe what he has just seen. This man, the founder of the empire, just extracted a parasitic essence eater out of the royal guard's bodies.
Gunsi glanced at Souta and said, "You must be wondering how could I extract the parasite in their bodies, right? It's simple. The parasite in my body is no ordinary parasite. It's the parasite queen that ruled over the whole race of parasitic essence eaters."
"Oh, so there's a queen among the parasite. It's my first time hearing about it." A smile formed on Souta's face as he charged towards Gunsi. He realized that Gunsi wanted to extract the parasite from Torkez body so he had to prevent it.
"That's right! Fight me!!"
Gunsi roared and his hand turned into a giant blade. He launched himself at Souta and swung it horizontally.
Boom!
Both of their weapons collided causing a powerful shockwave. It sent out ripples in the atmosphere and disturb everything around them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two figures collided in the sky repeatedly. Aftershocks of their attacks were sweeping out every second. It was destroying everything around them.
The family members of the emperor have died because of their low power level. Their bodies couldn't handle the shockwaves that came from the battle of Souta and Gunsi. It was above their league. They were like an ant in the face of a two giant predator.
Boom! Boom!
Torkez spat a mouthful of blood. His eyes couldn't even follow the movements of the two people that were fighting above him. He was sure that the whole city whole crumbled down if Souta didn't set up the gravity field around the royal palace.
This was his first time seeing someone who could fight Souta at this level.
Bang! Bang!
Souta tried to avoid all of Gunsi's attacks but he wasn't fast enough. Some of the attacks landed on his body.
Gunsi wasn't just powerful. He was also fast and tough. His body was moving in a strange way that Souta couldn't even predict.
"Hahaha! Just accept your defeat and let me study your body!!"
Gunsi laughed madly as he rushed at Souta and launched a barrage of powerful attacks.
"Tsk!"
Souta clicked his tongue as a red blade flew out of his sword and landed on Gunsi's body. It's been a while since he experienced such intense battle.
He moved away from Gunsi and pointed his sword. A large amount of black energy gathered on the tip of his sword.
[Dark Shooting Ray]!!
Gunsi crossed his arms in front of him and his flesh turned into a large shield that blocked Souta's attack. The black beam was powerful as it was disintegrating his flesh but his regenerative power was too fast.
In just a few seconds, all the wounds that he received from Souta have completely healed.
He lowered his arms and looked ahead only to see a red energy beam flying at him.
[Bestrou]!!
The beam pushed his body on the field before it exploded.
"Argh!!"
Boom!
A huge explosion erupted as cracks formed on the surface of the gravity field. [Bestrou]'s firepower was something that everyone in the Imperium feared.
Swoosh!
Souta took a deep breath. His energy was draining quickly and he knew that it wouldn't last that long. He had to finish this fight as soon as possible. He already drained a huge amount of his energy when he broke through the formation of the empire on outer space. And now he had to fight someone at Gunsi's level.
He was sure that Gunsi's strength has reached the level of S-rank with the help of the queen parasite in his body. This was better than his expectations.
Swoosh!
The smoke dissipated and it revealed Gunsi's figure. He was full of injuries that he received from [Bestrou].
Huh?
Gunsi noticed that something was wrong. The speed of his regeneration had greatly decreased. He didn't know what's happening to him.
At this moment, Souta's voice has sounded in his ears.
"So you've noticed it. If you know the reason why there's a different tier of healing spell when all of them could do is heal a wound then you would understand why you're regenerative power has slow down."
Souta smiled while looking at Gunsi who was confused.
"It's simple. The lingering energy from my attack that caused your injuries had slowed down your regeneration ability. You had to dissipate it first. That's one of the basics if you want to become a healer in the future."
He learned all of this at Ladro Institute. He was really glad that he enrolled in Ladro Institute first before he explored the world or else he would become an ignorant person who only had the knowledge from the game.
"You fucking shit!! I'll use your body in different experiments before I kill you!!"
Gunsi's face contorted as his rage reached the limit. He was so angry at the person in front of him. He took a deep breath to calm himself as he noticed at he let his emotions run wild again.
"Well, you wouldn't win anyway. You could regenerate your wounds plus my overall abilities are stronger than yours. I will finally know how you can have the dragon's energy. My dream will finally come true."
Gunsi said as he knew that his power was stronger than Souta. If their battle continued at this pace then he would win in the end. A smile formed on his face.
"I already told you that I'm a monster yet you don't believe me." Souta sighed as his expression turned serious. "I'm going to show you the true power of a third evolution monster. You will believe me once you've seen this."
As soon as he said those words, Gunsi froze on his spot as he looked at Souta with a stunned expression.
Boom!
Immediately, a terrifying force gushed out of Souta's body and shot upwards in the sky, piercing the gravity field. His body inflated as it absorbed his clothes and dark red smoke erupted.
His mouth cracked open until it was close to his ears, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. Black smoke came out of his mouth as he exhaled.
Two pairs of eyes gleamed inside the thick smoke as it stared at Gunsi's figure.
[Monster Orb Release]!
