Chapter 1549: Ancient Glorious City(20)

Aakesh and Halie looked at each other with deep surprise in their eyes. She then nodded toward him and expressed worry since the opponent facing Aakesh was a mindless creature, having nothing but cruelty and battle instinct.

Aakesh then focused on the creature before him. It belonged to the chimera group of races with the head of a demon, the tail of a lion, the body of a falcon, and the wings of an owl.

Ring!

The bell rang, announcing the start of the battle. The opponent was a peak True God level creature and a talented one at that.

Aakesh wasn't confident of victory, but neither was he sure of defeat, so Aakesh became interested in the battle.

The creature fluttered its wings, and without making any sound, it was right before Aakesh with a slash. Aakesh moved horizontally to his left, easily dodging the slash.

He then kicked the creature. It was as if he had hit an iron wall. The creature remained still, only feeling some pain from Aakesh's kick.

The creature was in close range of Aakesh. It opened its demonic mouth, and energy started to amass at the tip. The creature was in no mood to prolong the battle. It wanted to win as soon as possible and then have its dinner.

Aakesh immediately grabbed the creature's mouth and forced it shut, halting the gathering.

Screech!

The creature forcefully escaped Aakesh's control and let out a screech. Aakesh felt his eardrums ringing in pain.

His eyes turned colder, and he took a step forward, grabbing the creature by its horn. He then pushed it into the arena, creating a small dust cloud.

A slight pain suddenly attacked Aakesh, and following that, one of his fingers was cut clean by the creature, forcing him to let go of its horn. Aakesh suddenly sensed a danger to his life, so he immediately backed away.

Boom!

Aakesh was knocked hundreds of meters back after the force of the explosion hit him. He felt his bones giving up, but his strong recovery stopped the damage from growing further.

With a groan, Aakesh stood up, and at that time, he had many injuries spread across his body. The yellow Dhoti he had received from the system had also given up as there were numerous tears around it.

The cloth could only be up to Aakesh's cultivation level, so it failed to defend against a strong opponent like the chimera.

The opponent had only a slim injury, but that was due to there being two of them. Aakesh had successfully killed one of them, which had taken everyone in the audience by surprise.

Aakesh cracked some of the bones around his neck that had clustered due to the attack and rushed forward. His speed was nowhere near as fast as it was at the start, but it was still within his desire.

He appeared right before the creature and punched. But before his punch could land, he suddenly took the strike back and kicked.

The creature was about to dodge the punch, but the kick came quicker than anticipated and was hit right in his stomach.

Cough!

The creature coughed up blood, but not even a drop fell on Aakesh.

Aakesh immediately activated [Apocalyptic Blast] once again and hit the enemy.

Boom!

Aakesh was immune to any kind of damage from the skill, so even his hair stayed still, and the creature bore the brunt of the skill.

The next moment, the creature got thrown out by an intense force, but before it could harshly crash onto the ground, its wings fluttered, stabilizing its posture.

Cry!

The creature let out a demonic cry, and immediately after that, the entire battle arena was covered in a poisonous haze. It forced Aakesh to close all the pores around his body to breathe and also restricted his visibility.
