Shoujo Grand Summoning

Chapter 865: You ascended to Tier 9 too? Marcus going crazy...

It's obvious Marcus didn't think his attacks would be thwarted in such a manner.

His attacks were infused with his dark dou qi. It isn't just incredibly powerful, it carries negative ailments like corruption, corrosion, and decay, compared to his original icy dou qi, this was a major power-up.

With his dark dou qi, he could have lorded over anyone below tier 9.

Powered by this black dou qi, he is someone who can fight against a middle-realm tier 9 despite being a newbie in the tier 9 weight class.

Even when he attacked Wu Yan, his opponent still easily blocked his attacks.

"Th-this..."

Marcus started considering something he didn't want to believe or even think about. He yelled out loud.

"Yo-you broke into tier 9?!"

Wu Yan looked at him without saying anything. Instead, he let his aura which couldn't belong to anyone in the tier 8 talk for him.

To quickly enter the ninth tier, he sacrificed his humanity and turned into a monster. He paid a great price for the power to kill Wu Yan, he got his hands on the dark dou qi that enhanced his combat power greatly.

But, all this for what?

He turned into a monster because he wanted to use the cruelest method to dismember Wu Yan limb from limb, he wanted nothing less than to exact the worst kind of pain imaginable to the one who forced him into this wretched form.

Reality told him to hit the road, the foe he wanted to shred into a million pieces rose into tier 9 just like him, he did so without paying any price.

How can Marcus accept an outcome like this? This is an outrage!

"No... NOOOO..."

His mental wirings went haywire. Marcus mumbled incessantly to himself, his dark qi rampaged out of control, his ramblings turned into an enraged bellow, then, his dark qi exploded outwards.

"This cannot be!"

His malice manifested in his voice and expression. Like someone out of his mind, he leaned forward and he used his tail to spring him up into Wu Yan who's still floating above ground.

"I will kill you!"

Wu Yan looked on with cold eyes. Then, his wings started dancing like sharp whips, lashing out at Marcus.

"Die die die die die!"

Marcus couldn't fight with a rational mind, he only focused on one thing, killing Wu Yan!

His claws extended outwards like spears, his claw spears met the whips of light.

The whips dimmed down and turned translucent when his claws made contact, his claws went through the whips like a mirage.

His attack hit nothing, that's what it felt like when the dim whips lit up again. This time, he could hear something slicing through the wind, the new attack expanded in Marcus' vision.

A sense of danger rang within Marcus and he instinctively used the momentum generated by flailing his tail to weave down, dodging the incoming wings of light.

Bam

The whips missed Marcus and crashed against the ground, creating a crater that's one meter wide.

Marcus finally recognized the attribute of the whips of light. They can materialized and de-materialize on cue!

"Damn!"

Marcus cursed.

"You and your petty tricks!"

"Tricks?"

Wu Yan grinned as he looked down at a sour Marcus from above.

"Fine, I will change up my attacks..."

The wings of light moved again, but, Wu Yan didn't send the wings after Marcus. Instead, his wings bent into a shape that looked like spider legs grew out from behind Wu Yan. The wings were pointed at him.

Ring...

The tips of the wing lit up as small concentrated balls of light grew in volume and luminosity.

The balls of light shook one time and immediately afterwards, lasers were shot out.

"Long-ranged attacks again..."

As a warrior, he's like a fish out of water when fighting against someone who can attack from far away, Wu Yan forced him to go into defensive. He can see that if this keeps going, he's going to die from a fight of attrition.

He must find a way to get close!

Marcus suppressed the anxiety within him and he smacked the lasers into non-existence like he's swatting flies.

Wu Yan pointed at Marcus and he rained down a rain of laser bolts.

Marcus anchored his foot behind him and he started swiping at air, unleashing a torrent of dark claw beams.

Bam bam bam bam bam

The lasers and claw beams met and cancelled each other out. After a cloud of dust got stirred into the air, visibility reduced between the two duelists.

Marcus saw this chance and he silently muttered.

"Here's my chance!"

Roar

Responding to Marcus bestial shout, his dark qi rippled across his body.

With a mighty swipe of his arms, his arms turned brilliantly dark as he merged with his claw beam to quickly travel across the distance between the two fighters. Ignoring the dust storm, the distance, and time, Marcus appeared in front of Wu Yan in an instant.

Wu Yan's pupils shrunk.

Marcus saw this as his victory and he chuckled.

"Die!"

With another howl, his dark dou qi aura condensed in his claws, it extended to a gnarly length.

He smashed that attack into Wu Yan's chest.

Wu Yan watched the claw attack as time slowed around him. That charged attack was clearly reflected in Wu Yan's eyes.

Fwish fwish

The wings of light behind him also combined to form a giant sword of light, the sword of light was willed by Wu Yan to meet the giant dark claw attack.

Bam

A thunderous boom echoed out and a shockwave unlike any other shook the ground, blasting rocks to dust and fissuring the immediate vicinity in a tsunami of rubble.

Dust rained down over the land.
