Chapter 1081 Bugs



The first round was won by Ereg as he was able to land the most attacks and surprise Gael with his decisions.

However, when their second round came to an end due to the appearance of spatial monsters, Gael was definitely the one who was able to achieve more.

He effortlessly, threw Ereg outside of colosseum, leaving him in the open space. The stream of white flames gradually ended, so Ereg was able to remove his barrier and finally take a break.

Ereg frowned as Gael had seriously pissed him off with this action as it was just prolonging their fight. He realized that such attacks couldn't hurt either of them, so in his opinion, it didn't make sense.

Ereg was about to return to the colosseum, but no sooner had he moved than several white eyes appeared out of the darkness. They stared intently at Ereg with obvious annoyance and displeasure.

"Agh... I get it now. Damn, I should have known... Gael tricked me so easily..." Ereg muttered with a bitter smile on his face.

Then, spatial bugs, pounced at him from all sides. Any monsters in their place wouldn't have attacked Ereg, who was an invincible opponent to them, but they didn't think about that.

All the spatial monsters wanted was for Ereg and Gael to stop emitting huge amounts of energy into the open space and not disturb them anymore.

Most of the time, the spatial monsters would kill their opponents by tearing them apart. Sometimes, the victims of the spatial monsters would successfully escape from the pursuit and hide in their own worlds.

Either of these two options suited the spatial bugs, but Ereg wasn't going to choose one of these options. Spatial bugs definitely couldn't kill him, and leaving Ereg would as well, so he decided to choose his method.

"Hah, I don't know what you're counting on, but you don't seem to have the intelligence to realize how serious a mistake you're making!" Ereg exclaimed with a devious smirk as his hands were covered in black fire.

Gael hovered in the air, above the colosseum, watching as Ereg destroyed dozens of spatial bugs that pounced on him.

Each time Ereg attacked, he created a powerful blast of flame that killed several spatial bugs at once, however, there were many monsters.

The stronger the energy flows were, the more spatial monsters came to that point.

Considering, that Gael and Ereg were at the peak of power, their energy attracted spatial monsters from the farthest places.

Most of the spatial monsters came to kick Ereg out or kill him, even though he had already destroyed hundreds of spatial rings, and it was as easy as breathing for him.

However, besides spatial bugs, there were many other monsters in the open space, more dangerous and ancient.

Most of the time, they were almost impossible to encounter, as even the most ordinary spatial guard was strong enough to kill a Third Chronicle or Four Chronicle creature.

However, those in the Fifth Chronicle often became extremely arrogant and traveled through open space instead of using teleports.

Sometimes, such people would encounter spatial monsters that others had only seen a few times in their entire time.

These monsters weren't that rare, it was just that those who encountered them almost always died and one of those was supreme spatial guards.

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.

Four humanoid creatures with dark bodies and white arms and legs were quickly heading towards Ereg, who was still fighting the bugs.

Gael was not going to interfere since their fight was taking place in the arena of the colosseum. Anything outside the arena was of no interest to him.n0VelUSB.c0m

'Well, well, you said that we would destroy them while fighting each other, but you seem to have forgotten about what you said.' Gael internally muttered, shaking his head.

"Damn! Why are there so many of you? I don't want to use anything more than simple blows against you. You're not worthy of that!" Ereg exclaimed as his gaze became more serious.

Ereg stopped.

At first, the spatial bugs were surprised by this since they didn't understand why their opponent wasn't doing anything, and then they decided to take this opportunity and attack all at once.

Ereg's eyes were closed, but even without that, he knew where each of his opponents was since his instincts were probably the best in the entire universe.

Alucard smirked, "Hah, in a situation like this he only has two options, either accelerate to the limit and make hundreds of attacks to kill each bug, or... do it all in one go!"

Obviously, Ereg wasn't going to waste any more time on those weak monsters, as Gael had been waiting for him for some time now.

'Sorry for being late, but they really aren't going to leave me alone.' Ereg internally muttered as a tiny dark sphere the size of a grain appeared between his palms.

Ereg quickly channeled energy into the sphere, but it didn't get any bigger, only its pressure and overall power grew.

The Spatial bugs had already started attacking Ereg, but they couldn't even leave a scratch on his sturdy body.

"Agh... It's your fault, but I just have no choice but to do it." Ereg muttered before clapping his palms together, blasting the sphere.

Then, everything within a radius of hundreds of meters was covered in a powerful dark fire as well as colosseum since part of it was also in open space.

Gael smiled slightly while extending his arm forward. This time he didn't create a fire barrier to defend against Ereg's attack, since he had already moved on to the next stage of their fight.

All of Ereg's flames followed Gael's index finger as if it were the center of the universe. Then, Gael swung his hand upwards, causing all the flames to scatter into small particles, falling down like black snowflakes.

"Come on. I threw you out into open space, but I'm not going to go in there. Didn't you say that spatial monsters wouldn't affect our fight?" Gael smirked, staring at Ereg.

Ereg's eyes went wide as he was puzzled. Gael was right, it was disrespectful of him, but the open space wasn't going to let him off the hook.

The blast of black flame destroyed all the spatial bugs, but there were still four opponents who were not affected by this powerful attack at all.

Wooooooooooooooooooosh.

Supreme Spatial Guards swept in front of Ereg, aiming his sharp sword composed of light directly towards Ereg's neck.

To everyone's surprise, Ereg dodged, as such an attack could hurt even him.

Then, the remaining three spatial guards attacked, aiming at Ereg's weak spots. Unlike the spatial bugs, their goal wasn't just to kill or kick Ereg out. They wanted to absorb his energy as best they could, even though Ereg was in the Transcendence Stage.

Wain observing this scene smirked, "Yeah, this definitely reminds me of something. We had similar guys fighting against us back then, right?"

Marlis nodded, "Sure. Although even then you were able to defeat some of them, it surprised me a lot, but now I realize that there was nothing strange about it."

Wain didn't bother to say anything, he just smiled with his arms crossed on his chest.

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.

Four white flashes attacked Ereg at lightning speed, trying to inflict at least one successful attack on him.

However, Ereg didn't take them seriously, even considering that he only used a small part of his power, the spatial guards were very weak. They could wound him, but it would be a mere scratch and an embarrassment to Ereg, so he didn't let their swords touch himself.

Gael waved his hand, "Hey, I'm getting bored. Come one, show me something interesting."

"Hah, you bastard, you're in the middle of a duel just like me not watching the show!" Ereg smirked, "Fine, I'll do what you ask. This will be your reward for winning the second stage."

Then, the number of runes in Ereg's amber eye increased several times. There were more than ten runes, so they began to transform into something else into a single, but more complex rune.

So did the creepy ghosts behind his back that now merged together, creating one frightening entity.

Ereg's aura intensified, becoming as powerful as Gael's, whose body now bore many more tiny scars. Several scars were on every part of his body, whether it was his arm, leg, or chest.

"Four spatial guards... Moreover, you are one of the strongest of your kind. You should have attacked a random Fifth Chronicle one if you wanted to obtain pure energy. Going against me was actually foolish." Ereg said calmly, and then his gaze turned cold.

His feet flashed with dark flames as he, in a heartbeat, appeared next to each of the spatial guards, who were moving very fast. However, Ereg easily surpassed them.

Then, the heads of the spatial guards simultaneously exploded, and their bodies were forever plunged into darkness.

Alucard smiled and looked into the distance, 'Not bad... But we're lucky that besides bugs and guards, there's something else coming this way. Damn, even Ereg hasn't noticed it yet.
