Chapter 299: 299. Ray vs Reilly - 1

The instant Nathan signaled the start, the energy in the room erupted like a storm. Orion and Reilly simultaneously activated the first form of the Three Divine Ways, their auras flaring to unprecedented levels.

Behind Orion, a black sphere thrummed with dark, ominous energy, while a golden sphere blazed with a fierce radiance behind Reilly, illuminating the space with its intense glow.

In a fluid motion, Orion swung his sword, the blade gleaming ominously as he surged forward with incredible speed. Reilly matched his movements, materializing a golden sword in his hand as he charged to meet Orion head-on.

Their swords collided with a resounding clash, the sheer force of their impact sending a powerful shockwave rippling through the hall.

Wasting no time, Orion used the Curse of Stormcaller, channeling its power into his sword. The air around him roared to life, a powerful gust of wind surging forward and catching Reilly off guard, pushing him back several steps. Stay updated via m-v l|-novelhall.net

Sensing an opportunity, Orion harnessed the wind's speed, vanishing from sight only to reappear behind Reilly in an instant, his sword poised for a decisive strike.

But Reilly was no easy opponent. Just as Orion's blade was about to connect, Reilly vanished, reappearing several meters away with lightning speed.

Orion halted his attack, his eyes narrowing as he assessed Reilly. He quickly noticed the golden boots that had formed around Reilly's legs—a clear manifestation of the gold element, and a technique Reilly had previously used to secure victory against Roman.

A smirk tugged at the corner of Orion's lips. He recognized the trick.

In a flash, Orion charged again, this time with even greater speed and ferocity. His sword became a blur, a whirlwind of strikes aimed at overwhelming Reilly's defenses. Reilly responded with equal intensity, his golden sword parrying each of Orion's blows with practiced precision.

The clang of metal rang out repeatedly, the force of their clash sending sparks flying with each impact as the two warriors battled with relentless energy, neither willing to give an inch.

After exchanging severable blows with each other, they both retreated back.

"You're fast and very strong, but the real battle starts now," Reilly said, pointing his finger at Orion. His body began to glow with a gentle golden light.

Almost immediately, a thin layer of gold began to spread across Reilly's body, rapidly solidifying into protective armor. It started at his chest, forming a gleaming chest plate, before extending to cover his back with a sturdy golden shield.

From there, the gold continued to flow, crafting bracers that encased his arms and leg guards that wrapped around his legs with seamless precision. Even his knees were fortified with golden caps, providing full protection to all four limbs.

The transformation didn't stop there—his hands and fingers were soon encased in gold, turning him into a figure that seemed to be sculpted entirely from the precious metal.

"How can wind affect me?" Reilly couldn't comprehend what had just happened as he slid across the floor before using his sword to stab into the ground, bringing himself to a stop.

At the same time, Orion used the power of Cursed Pulse along with the Curse of Stormcaller, which gave him an additional boost in speed and strength in the form of acceleration and striking power. Combining these curses, Orion swiftly closed the distance between them, jumped atop Reilly, and swung his sword.

Reilly was prepared, and he swung his sword at Orion in return.

Boom!

But just as their swords collided, Reilly felt as if he had been struck by a giant hammer. The ground beneath him was instantly reduced to dust.

Gritting his teeth, Reilly held the sword blocking Orion's strike with his left hand, formed another sword in his right hand, and swung it forward.

Orion quickly zapped back, using the swiftness of the wind before Reilly's strike could land.

"I won't hold back anymore!" Reilly shouted, then vanished, leaving a trail of gold in his wake.

Reappearing in front of Orion, he attacked with both swords. Orion smiled and also struck with his own sword.

Reilly was blasted back once more, but this time Orion didn't give him a chance to recover. He appeared in front of Reilly while he was still airborne and aimed a downward stab with his sword.

Reilly's eyes narrowed, and he immediately transformed his right hand, which was holding the second sword, into the shape of a handgun and rapidly fired at Orion.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Orion was surprised by Reilly's ability to manipulate gold to this degree, but he reacted swiftly. He stopped his attack, changed direction, and moved away, dodging the bullets.
