Guild Wars
chapter-628

Kiran's body exploded in a red light as he flew forward like a bullet towards Draco. His eyes show an intense will to fight and hope that he could actually be the one to subdue their legendary Guildmaster!

Draco simply smiled and swung both swords forward to block Kiran's attack. When they collided with the Martial Artist's outstretched fists there was a moment where the strength of both sides was about equal before the leader of the Five Generals was blasted back, knocking the ground a few times before he regained his balance.

Kiran kneeled as he raised his body with a look of shock and dismay on his face. His Realm King Fist attack was supposed to make him invincible during its duration!

It was impossible to break it once he started, only avoid or block it!

Draco frowned as he noticed a reddish band of energy on both his swords, trying to corrode them. He simply let Dragorugio explode in a black light that easily destroyed the reddish energy, while Fragarach exploded in a blue-green color.

However, Fragarach had a harder time dealing with this energy as the blue-green energy seemed to be weaker than the red one, however a pale grey glow flashed and the red energy was significantly weakened, allowing the blue-green energy to destroy it.

"Hoh? Interesting mixture of energies that formed a unique form of energy never seen before. I'd rank it as on the same tier as Aetheric Energy and its parallels, so basically a Legendary Rank Energy type." Draco muttered to himself.

He then saw Deployed Soldier who blasted forward after Kiran and struck his blade towards Draco's heart. He was currently using his 300% speed boost as well as his Condense skill.

All of Draco's very own 360 Sword Skills were concentrated on him!

However, the fellow only scoffed and moved his two blades in a strange motion. If Eva saw this, she would scream to Deployed to run, as it was this very skill that caused her to be slaughtered by Draco in the previous timeline.

"Paragon Sword Style, Sword Skill 360: Counter Kill!"

Draco's blades met Deployed's and the world seemed to pause for a second. Then, the explosive white light that should have signaled all of Draco's own Paragon Sword Skills activating upon himself was deflected onto Deployed Soldier, who exploded into a bloodmist immediately.

Essence Stalker roared and fired out a huge wave of Void Energy towards Draco. Draco avoided it using a set of movement skills that made him flicker like a phantom, and he disappeared from view.

Essence's head snapped to the side as he roared. "Silent Walker, watch out!"

The fellow was startled that he was chosen, but didn't hesitate to first activate his Dark Barrier skill and then his Shadowguards immediately. The Lord of Shadows felt himself flying forward as he crashed into a ditch, losing more than half his HP in one strike.

As for the two Shadowguards he summoned that were at Rank 3 with 4 million HP each, Draco killed them in two slashes each. He then disappeared once more and appeared near Slim Fatty.

Forte moved to defend her, but Draco chuckled. He had made these swords himself, so how could he not know their strengths and weaknesses?

"Peerless Sword Style, Sword Skill 3: Explosive Blade!" Draco roared.

He unveiled his second set of Sword Skills he had been working on ever since he had reached Tier 4 Control. It allowed him to mix his Subjective Magic into his sword skills to create elemental sword skills, and he already almost completed the entire set.

Draco himself hardly used them because he had many more OP powers for battle, but this Raid limited him to certain abilities per stage. In the first one, he could only use sword skills and techniques he made himself.

Whether they were mixed with Subjective Magic or Control did not matter as long as he only used them in conjunction with the sword skills, not on their own.

Draco's two blades exploded in a red blaze, crashing into Forte and exploding greatly. This knocked the other sword away for a short distance, and Draco hardly moved at all.

In this time, Slim Fatty turned to defend herself and swung Swordblade. She knew that her Guildmaster was strong, but he couldn't bear the weight of Swordblade for sure!

Draco's Avatar also didn't want to test it out as he wasn't at his full 100% power nor had his Horned Demon True Body active. He easily sidestepped her attack and murmured.

"Peerless Sword Style, Sword Skill 1: Fire Slash!"

His two blades glowed with a fire that was searing hot, as liens were formed in Slim Fatty's body so fast that no one could follow. By the time Draco was done and had flashed to another place, Slim Fatty was still trying to pull her sword back for another attack.

However, she simply separated into slices of meat that erupted in flames and burned to nothingness the next second.

Draco appeared before Fitter Cleric with a playful smile. "Since your woman died, it's best you accompany her to the other side."

Fitter grimaced and raised his Pandora's Box, also activating some of his class skills. He seemed to glow in a holy aura that would prevent any ill from befalling him, but this was cut in half, along with Fitter's body by Fragarach with ease.

"Luck won't save you. The Goddess who blesses you would not dare stand in my way, not to mention that my power transcends luck, even limited like this." Draco stated with a smirk, telling off a confused Fitter whose bulging eyes could not understand why his heaps of Luck-based defenses did not work.

This shocked the remaining core members, as they realized that things were critical. Uno roared and burst forth, using his Charge skill!

Draco just watched him approach and raised his leg. With a solid kick, he knocked away the Vanguard who was supposedly immune to blowbacks or stuns, then drove his sword into Uno's eye with ease.

"I've taught you this many items, do not put all your faith in the system skills or those fancy flavor texts your Legendary Classes have. Before techniques, skills will always play second fiddle."

"It is easy for me to disrupt your Charge active skill and negate your passive that negates stuns or whatever because, at the end of the day, this is also a form of reality." Draco calmly explained as he twisted his sword and let it explode with Destruction Energy, turning Uno's head into ash.

Boyd roared and entered his Berserk state as he swung at Draco, his immense strength being put to bear. Draco bore the attack calmly with no effort as the Maverick struggled to overpower him in their clash.

"Boyd, you're good. Unlike the rest, you haven't fallen head over heels for your fancy Legendary Class skill and only use them to enhance your techniques, which manifests in how you use your axe. Very good." Draco commented with praise.

He then kicked the member of the Five General in the balls, which caused a small shockwave as he was raised into the air for a bit, before he landed on his knees. Boyd cried out in agony as he clutched his lower abdomen, blood and gastric juices leaking from his mouth as his eyes bulged, cursing that Boundless had to be this realistic.

Draco then easily beheaded him in one strike, before kicking the severed head away like it was some kind of ball.

"Aaron, wait your turn." Draco snickered as he avoided another wave of void energy that turned Boyd's headless body to atoms.

Keira roared valiantly as she engaged Draco using her Dragon's Barrage skill, the one that forced both of them into an animation where Keira had to punch repeatedly and stack a combo to deal damage to a foe.

Draco just watched her with amusement as she cried out and began to throw punches. Much to her shock, Draco simply slapped her punches away and rushed towards her.

He then slapped her across the cheek so hard that her head snapped backward. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she had been brutally killed like this, despite being one of the physically strongest core members.

"Didn't you hear me? I just spoke about how one should not rely on those fancy words in your skill descriptions. Against monsters and most NPCs, they are able to do what they promised. Heck, they even work on most players." Draco commented with a smile as he dodged another attack from Essence.

"However, never try such things against the truly powerful entity like me or Eva, otherwise you just set yourself up for disappointment." Draco chided her as he appeared beside Silent Walker who had just risen to his feet.

He still had his Dark Barrier around him, but it was severely cracked. His face displayed shock as Draco was staring at him calmly from outside the translucent walls of the barrier.

"Not a bad barrier you have here, but your usage of Darkness Energy is still lacking. Stop focusing on supporting others and realize that the power of darkness lies in devouring and assimilating, not crowd control or support."

Silent Walker was surprised by his Guildmaster's sudden advice, but was unable to say anything when the Avatar easily pushed Fragarach through his chest.

Like the others, he released a small shockwave of force within Silent Walker's body that turned him into bloodmist.

Draco suddenly laughed. "Cobra, I have seen you seen the beginning. You should know better than to do anything but flee before me."

Cobra who suddenly appeared behind Draco with Sure-Kill Strike activated plunged his blade into his target's back. His face showed triumph, and the other core members were shocked at first, then showed glee!

Finally, a good hit! No, a crucial one since it would instantly end the stage!

Draco though, made no moves as he folded his arms. To Cobra's horror, Draco's HP which should be plunging like a drain was moving like a snail, and even then, it would suddenly jump back up every few seconds.

What was even worse was that the blade was being squeezed out of Draco's body slowly, until it popped out and his wound instantly healed. Cobra just stood there, dumbfounded as to how his ultimate skill, a Legendary Class skill, was dealt with so easily by Draco.

Seeing his expression, Draco sighed. "It seems like I have a lot of work to do, sigh. The main body is too busy expanding his universe and assumes that you will all catch up in due time, but without some 'loving' guidance he won't like how you all will develop."

The Avatar easily split Cobra in half from head to groin with one slice of Dragorugio, turning the two halves of his body into ash instantly before they could even touch the ground.

"Because of the terrible outcomes you all had in the previous world, the fellow is being overly nice to you lot in this one. He pampers you all too much. Sponsoring you to the point of allowing you to gain Legendary Classes, letting you claim such high-quality items from early in the game and more."

Draco's Avatar flourished his blade lazily as he continued to speak, his words confusing the core members since they could only understand bits and leaving the crowd even more baffled.

"However, the previous world had allowed your talents to develop because you had to scrounge for everything you had, only that you were limited due to the impurities in the things you fought for. This time around, you have been granted everything with no impurities, yet not fighting for what you've earned has made you step on the wrong path."

Draco pointed his sword at Essence, Kiran, and Loving Aunt. "You three don't count and you know why. However, the others are not that special anymore, not like before. They are only powerful because of their classes and their items, all made possible by the main body's lenience."

Draco disappeared and re-appeared behind Loving Aunt, patting her on the shoulder gently.

"Aunt, please step to the side. You are not allowed to participate, but those younglings can. I have already discussed it with Amber."

Loving Aunt was startled, then smiled bitterly. She understood that her beloved nephew could not bear the thought of hurting her, even in a game, so her presence was a bug.

She acknowledged Draco's directive and left the stage, standing by the side and watching with a curious light.

"Now, as I was saying, strip away your fancy classes and skills and most of you will be nothing much. I watched all the events from up there, and I was greatly dissatisfied by what I saw. The main body will likely be even more furious than me because he has no idea you've been showing the world your lack of skill."

Draco continued as he pointed to the largest VIP room at the top of the stadium. Most people turned to check it out, having long noticed it but not knowing which bigshot was in there.

Draco cricked his neck as he gazed at the only remaining targets, Kiran, Essence, Warm Spring, and Tunder.

He pointed at Kiran and Essence. "You two represent the pinnacle of power in the guild, and I will personally use this Raid to beat into you how to fight like a competent entity."

He pointed to Tunder. "You represent our connection to a very powerful force and they expect me to whip you into shape. You have wits, guile, and skill, no doubt, but your mentality is stupid. That loner bit is worthless in Boundless and I will beat into you the meaning of teamwork."

He then pointed to Warm Spring. "You are supposed to be the God of Healers, able to match my Hikari in a one-on-one contest. Yet, you even let fakers like Maple Forest and Sublime Notion challenge you. I don't care if you're a kind-hearted maiden or whatever, today I will beat the right method into your head."

Draco's body exploded with a black aura that engulfed the entire stage. From three points around him, one could see various motifs and mirages appear.

On the left was a towering, muscular body with two horns and bat-like wings. In the middle was a Draconic entity with red eyes and a maw dripping with saliva. On the right was a svelte form with black bird-like wings and a cracked halo above its head.

A look of extreme cruelty flashed on Draco's face as his voice became menacing.

"Today, consider me a gardener and these two swords my sickles. Consider yourselves unkempt plants, because I will either cut you into shape or cut you into pieces, the choice is yours."

Like that, Draco used his movement skill to appeared beside Tunder who had long activated his Wood Elf gene and was ready to fire. The Wood Elf gene gave him two things, unparalleled accuracy, and extreme speed.

That was how Tunder had avoided the previous slaughter, and what had allowed him to track Draco's movements. He jumped into the air and fired an Epic Arrow where Draco would appear.

The Woof Elf was pinpoint with his shot, but half his body suddenly disappeared when Draco swung his sword in his direction.

"Peerless Sword Style, Sword Skill 10: Fire Wave!"

The arrow Tunder had fired had been destroyed by Draco's fire wave, the rest of it hurtling towards him to split him in half while in mid-air.

Tunder grimaced as his body tried to burn up, but his Wood Elf gene allowed him to resist it. In fact, when he fell to the floor, he was still able to move somewhat and tried to reconnect his body.

However, his attempts were halted by Draco, who stomped on his skull and crushed it with ease. He then gazed at Warm Spring who was shaking in fear and horror after all that had gone on, disrupting her ability to heal or assist her teammates.

"YOUR OPPONENT IS ME!" Kiran roared as he fired a charged energy wave at Draco.

Draco casually watched the orange beam hurtle towards him as he raised Fragarach high up. He then brought it down when the beam reached his face, easily cutting it in half and sending it flying on either side of his body.

The Avatar then gazed at Fragarach which was smoking and chuckled. Kiran stood there dumbfounded, his aura flickering as he had expended so much energy. He was almost dropping back to Super Warrior 1 form.

Draco then disappeared and re-appeared in front of Kiran. He placed a hand on the fellow's chest and paused as he spoke slowly.

"Others are afraid to say it for whatever reason, but I don't care. You're a shitty parody of a Super Saiyan and their transformations with your Super Warrior or whatever you call it thing. You've also stolen the Kaioken and Kamehameha techniques and rebranded them using your own names."

Suddenly, Draco clenched his fist powerfully. From behind Kiran, a huge air cannon erupted, causing a shockwave that erupted the area behind Kiran's body like a bomb had been dropped.

The Martial Artist only had time to spit out everything within his stomach as his eyes faded into darkness, his aura diminishing as his body crumbled on the ground right away.

He could only see Draco's Avatar towering over him as he coldly sneered.

"Until you stop copying moves from ancient anime and start creating your own things, you will just be a flashy fighter with no substance."

Draco then gazed at Essence who was sighing as he returned to his human form. Draco then pointed to Kiran's dead body.

"That… was not a sword skill. That was a Control technique using the Body of Godliness to contract an ungodly amount of force and releasing it in a cone from within a target's body."

"Do you understand what I am trying to say? The rules of this Raid are bullshit to me. There is nothing in this world that I, Draco, have to adhere to. I can use whatever power I want regardless of whatever stage, but I won't henceforth."

Draco then walked calmly over to Essence who also solemnly readied himself with his halberd in hand, remembering all the hours he spent fighting Draco's copies in the Training Hall.

"That is why this is an Impossible Raid despite the fact that you all have no cooldowns and infinite respawns.. Your victory in this event is only possible if I will it, so you'd better do better than this if you want me to allow you fellows to win."
