Chapter 548 The Duel! [1]
DING!
The bell rang for the duel to begin.
"…" Silence.
The 2 brothers did not charge at each other immediately, from a distance of about 100 meters apart, they simply glared at each other.
Delzebub's eyes were calm and collected, only seemingly annoyed.
In sharp contrast, Onana's eyes were dangerously narrowed like a snake.
To the spectators watching in the stands, they felt like they were witnessing 2 Dragons having a staring contest before a death match. The pressure was palpable as it felt like all hell could break loose any moment.
Slight creaking sounds reverberated the next moment as the mech suit's both arms raised and pointed at the mage.
Champion Onana didn't pull the trigger immediately though, his eyes narrowed even further as he glared at his brother.
He was not someone who loved talking during battle but his next actions showed how emotionally invested he was in this battle.
"What do you have to say?" He asked in a calm tone.
"You've always been the chief cornerstone, the one who was loved and pampered by dad, the one who grew arrogant from power and looked down on his own mother".
"From a young age, you always made pursuing power your priority".
"You cared about nothing else, you didn't care about friends, your own mom, not even your own biological brother, all you cared for was yourself".
"You ignored everything in your pursuit for power".
"You made my childhood a nightmare".
"Every conversation with you left me more traumatized".
"Even in mother's death, you only had bad things to say about her". At this point, Champion Onana's voice shook, clearly he was no longer as collected.
"You desecrated mother's grave, not acknowledging her as her son". At this point, Champion Onana's voice transformed into rage.
"Why?!" He roared.
Champion Onana was clearly not concerned that he was literally airing his family matters to everyone. Throughout the years and in previous duels when he was younger, he already vented all his anger and told everything.
Today was just an extension from where he stopped.
Looking at the nonchalant look on his brother's face as he roared, Champion Onana laughed in a self-depreciating manner. "Yes, that's you, mother*cker!"
"Despite your pursuit of strength, here I am".
His eyes gleamed. "I am at your level; I now have the power to challenge you".
"I have come here again to prove to you that your path was wrong".
"I am here again to make you apologize".
"This time…" His eyes gleamed with power. "I will succeed".
"This time, I will make you regret and apologize before mother's grave!"
Delzebub finally opened his mouth to speak, breaths were held.
"Pathetic". He said a single word.
"Even after beating you 5 times, you never grew up". His voice was calm and filled with contempt and it infuriated Champion Onana to no end.
"You're still that weak, pathetic, and talentless little brother".
"You're still that kid held back by emotions".
"Today won't be different, I'll beat you like usual".
"And I'll also teach you a lesson". His eyes squinted slightly. "To never talk in a battle that you're serious about".
BAM!
"Self-Created Technique: Surf the Wind!"
A gust of wind streaked through this battle arena with immense speed.
One moment, Delzebub was still lecturing his brother and the next moment, he was already before the gigantic mech suit.
His magic staff was already on his hand and at this moment, waving it slightly, a mighty convergence of wind energy already appeared at its tip.
Champion Onana felt his danger senses tingle.
He did not panic though.
Due to the emotion of the moment, he may have talked longer than he even wanted but this did not affect his preparation for this duel by the slightest.
This time, Champion Onana was really prepared.
His exposed head was instantly covered by metal as the mech suit entered its complete state. At the same time, a shield generator was activated.
BOOM!
A powerful eruption of wind blasted against the shield the next moment.
The shield lasted only an instant before shattering after weakening the strike, the residual power pushed with power against the mech suit.
The gigantic mech suit could not keep its balance as it tipped over.
Fire blasted out of the legs of the mech as taking advantage of this power, Champion Onana blasted back with his mech to reset the battle.
Delzebub charged after him aggressively.
At this moment, this mage had a powerful green shield surrounding his body as he pursued, this was his mana shield.
As soon as Champion Onana landed on his feet, the battle really started.
The 2 hands of the mech, the Gauss Canon launchers were already pointed at the mage and this time, he did not hesitate.
"Special Mechanic Ability: Mech Resonance!"
"Special Mechanic Ability: Impact Force!"
BOOM!
Force rippled through the body of this mech before transferring into the metal floor of this combat arena as it cracked from the force.
Then, the gauss canons were launched with force.
Bzzz!
Delzebub saw the danger and reacted immediately, as like a floating leaf in the wind, he dodged in the nick of time, evading the danger.
That was not all from Champion Onana though.
He unleashed the kinetic projectile launchers that were mounted on the shoulders of the End-Game. Instantly, physical projectiles filled this combat arena, hitting with immense force as Delzebub kept on dodging.
Delzebub was not just passively dodging, he attacked, sending out powerful wind slashes and manipulating the wind around this combat arena.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The spectators saw bright explosions of light as these 2 extremely powerful Nak Champions clashed aggressively, affecting the terrain of this combat arena.
For the first few seconds, they fought to a stalemate.
After being on the receiving end of a barrage of wind spells, Champion Onana took some damage to his mech to create an opening. Then for the first time in this duel, he was finally able to make use of the weapons in his mech's knees.
BAM!
A gigantic hammer shot with immense speed at the mana shield, Delzebub did not expect it and could not dodge as the hammer hit directly.
Instantly, 30% of the integrity of the mana shield was sucked.
His eyes widened in surprise.
That was still not all, this was just the start of a combo.
As soon as the hammer hit, barely distracting this powerful mage, hands like those of a spider's appeared the next moment from the back of the mech suit as with energy at their tips, they grabbed the mana shield and kept it in place.
Delzebub felt immense danger at this moment but he could not move.
The hands of the mech suit were immensely strong. Clearly, Champion Onana spent a ton of money to reinforce them.
This was one of the effects of owning a metal planet to himself.
With his opponent held in place, the belly of the mech suit opened.
"DOOM IMPACT!" Champion Onana roared with a loud voice.
Delzebub's eyes widened as he saw the boulder-shaped projectile launch with immense power and speed from the belly of this mech right at his face.
If this hit, his mana shield would not be able to shrug the damage off.
And with the hands of the mech, he would not be able to escape.
This was an attack that had the potential to kill him!
At this moment, time seemingly froze.
Delzebub's eyes narrowed. "You did improve…, impressive".
"Calamity Manifestation: Whirlwind Domain!"
BZZZ!
The immensely powerful boulder-sized projectile was blown off-course!
