Chapter 196: Beast anomaly!

"Azure dragon style: Dragon claw!" Lucien growled as he pushed down and from the dragon head-shaped clouds a massive blue dragon claw fell from the heavens and descended upon the yellow aura gorilla pushing it down almost effortlessly. The champion realm master was too stunned by the power Lucien had just revealed was fat beyond his expectations and given the fact that it was strange this champion realm master was too distracted to even bother blocking properly!

Boom!

People watched from a distance as the massive blew dragon claws pushed the massive yellow gorilla all the way to the ground without giving it a chance to struggle. They gazed at Lucien's figure as if he was some sort of god who has done the impossible! He managed to deal damage to a foe over three realms above him and even hold out against him for a whole. Even if he were to die in this battle, the world will remember him as the youth who made the impossible possible!

"The imperial knight is invincible!!!"

"INVINCIBLE!!" The retreating army cried out in joy as they saw Lucien gain the upper hand in battle.

Vlad and Klaus who had intentionally delayed their time of return to aid Lucien due to fear felt ashamed. While they are too scared to face one of the pillars of the creed organization, someone from the younger generation is doing this for them. How can they return and hold their heads high while gazing into the eyes of the people after all that has transpired here? Wouldn't it be too shameful if the people are told of Lucien's bravery while tales of them fleeing spread across the land!

Have they become too old to realize that their pride as warriors should be considered the most important thing here?

"Once I see an opportunity, I will jump in..." Klaus said.

"Don't bother with that, if we truly want to help, we need to stop those two disciples of that monster from interrupting their battle" Vlad said as he gazed at the bald man's disciples gazing at Lucien with intense hatred.

Meanwhile, Lucien gazed at the massive ten-meter-deep crater below where the champion realm master was knocked into by his final technique. He felt tired but he wasn't so exhausted like the previous time he used the azure mode to face Derik Angus. He guessed he should be able to maintain this form a few more minutes and that should be enough time for their forces to leave, then he should be able to find his way out.

As much as he hated to admit it, Lucien didn't really expect Klaus and Vlad to help him. In his opinion, staying back here to face off against this man means their chances of dying at his hands are over seventy percent, regardless of their numerical advantage. So it's their choice to help or not since all he can do now is do his best and hope everything else goes well.

Whoosh!

A figure shot out of the crater and it was the champion realm expert! His golden robe was a bit dirty and he had blood flowing down his forehead taking away the original graceful look he once had. He looked calm but everyone present could feel his anger and many wondered what will happen between him and Lucien now.

"In all my years as a spirit cultivator, only the master has put me in such a condition... You should be proud" The man said as his eyes let out a bright yellow light and just like Lucien different Aura couldn't be felt emanating from the man!

Ding!

[Warning]

[The enemy is a spirit cultivator blessed with a unique spirit beast called the Akame! This is a spirit beast with the ability to consume other spirit beasts and gain their strength... This spirit beast can take the form of all spirit beasts consumed and it can also grant other people the power of these spirit beasts stored within it]

Seeing the last part, Lucien frowned. He remembered the two creed outer disciples he just fought, both of them have the ability of a spirit beast! The first one was a serpent while the second one is still unknown because he didn't pay much attention to Lana, neither did he give her the chance to show everything.

At this point, Lucien deduced that the creed is more organized than many think. With the presence of core members in the form of the organization's pillars, each pillar has inner disciples and even outer disciples with thousands of normal cultivators at profound realms! He guessed that this man is just one of the pillars and those he has been meeting are his outer disciples meanwhile his inner disciples are just observing by the side. He wanted to dwell on this thought for a bit longer but he wasn't given the opportunity to do so.

Lucien watched as the man moved his hands in a circular motion, creating what seems to be like a circular gate leading to another world. Seeing the Lucien instantly knew this man has released his anomaly! He watched as the gate to the anomaly was completed and within the strong gate were numerous spirit beasts of various kinds and this is all he could see just by peeping through the entrance!

He watched as the space around the gate was getting distorted by its existence and after a while, the gate vanished but Lucien knew it was still there. In a battle between champion realm masters, the anomaly is activated and then hidden from the enemy by making it go invisible!

It can be moved during the battle and the main goal of the fight is to Trick the others into falling into their anomaly and that's why many experts avoid moving during combat! Lucien quickly activated his spirit sense in hopes of seeing the invisible anomaly leaving him stunned.

Even the spirit sense he had so much faith in couldn't pick up the location of the anomaly making him feel extremely uncomfortable!
