Battle Against Gunther! (Part One)
"Kid, not bad speed. Is this the confidence you have to provoke me?" Gunther's cold voice echoed through the heavens and earth. The many powerful figures near the Sarnoki Mountain Range were also staring intently at the two figures in the sky above the mountain peak.
Gunther was tall and strong, but on the surface he looked like a normal human. Only by getting up close could one realize how terrifying power was hidden in his seemingly ordinary body!
"Provocation? You overestimate yourself, Gunther." Rog's handsome face was full of confidence and composure; the aura he exuded at this moment was no less powerful than his opponent's.
Dressed in a long purple robe, Rog held the Voidbreaker Divine Spear in his right hand, and with a thought, the sky suddenly darkened over the entire area of the Sarnoki Mountain Range, spanning tens of thousands of miles!
"It's here! It's Lord of Tianhua Prefecture's signature move!" The appearance of Rog's familiar move excited many powerful figures. However, amidst this apocalyptic scene of dark clouds obscuring the sky, many weaker individuals already felt intense discomfort.
Is it really that terrifying just from the slightest glimpse of its aura?
Rog's long purple hair flowed freely in the air as he looked down at Gunther, who sat cross-legged below. Gunther looked up at Rog in the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Very well, it's been a long time since anyone dared to talk to me like that. I hope you'll let me have a good fight today!"
The two involuntarily stared at each other, and as their gazes met, it seemed as if the spatial energy of this Hell Plane churned and trembled for a moment.
The power of thunder roared freely, and within a vast area spanning thousands of miles beneath Rog, he seemed to be the sole and undisputed Sovereign of this place!
The raging power of thunder seemed to be constantly preparing to unleash its full force!
"Zzzzt!" Suddenly, a deafening Leiming sound resounded throughout this vast area!
The source of the terrifying Leiming was Rog. Black arcs of electricity floated on his purple robes, and flashing currents surged faintly on his long hair. The thunder roared and rushed directly towards Gunther below, but Gunther remained motionless like a rock under a raging wave.
"Soul Attack? That's all you've got. If that's all you've got, you're probably going to die a horrible death today!" Gunther's voice pierced everyone's ears like a cold knife.
Rog looked at Gunther with disdain. So he possessed Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact; no wonder he dared to be so arrogant. He then sneered, "If you've got the guts, come on. Let me see if you're only good with words."
"Hahahaha, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life!" Gunther laughed in anger, and his body, which had been sitting cross-legged, finally stood up. Suddenly, a terrifying golden flame rose rapidly from all parts of his body!
As soon as the golden flames erupted, Gunther's entire appearance changed drastically! His muscles bulged rapidly, veins popping out, making him look terrifying. He transformed into a monstrous muscle man almost instantly!
The yellow short-sleeved shirt he was wearing was instantly shattered by the fierce aura. The fragments were still floating around his body, clearly indicating that the clothes were also a divine artifact, which was easily shattered by the mere amount of power that leaked out!
"Come and fight!" Gunther's eyes had turned an eerie light green, and his body was crackling with electricity! Even his eyebrows had turned gold, and his hair, except for his bangs, was all standing on end!
His figure vanished from the spot in a flash, leaving no time to catch the fleeting trajectory of the lightning.
It was just a fleeting moment.
Gunther, now transformed, appeared directly before Rog: "Die!" His terrifying roar echoed in all directions.
At the same time, his right fist, covered with a spiked gauntlet, slammed towards Rog! "Sizzle~" Boundless power was concentrated on his fist! Just by sweeping through space, it caused scorched spatial cracks!
Gunther's body seemed to be burning, with golden flames constantly rising from his body, and his fist, surrounded by golden flames, smashed down!
Rog, his gaze icy, Voidbreaker Spear, his fist colliding head-on with the divine weapon. "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Layers of black spatial ripples spread from the point of their collision, and the space, like a shattered mirror, began to collapse on a large scale. In the blink of an eye, a huge spatial rift appeared. Before the terrifying suction force of the spatial rift could erupt, the two were instantly thrown back a thousand meters away!
The terrifying sounds of fists colliding with weapons echoed across the sky, making countless spectators feel like they were going to vomit blood just from hearing them!
"This guy is almost as strong as me after my transformation?" Gunther's golden eyebrows trembled as he shifted his position, somewhat incredulous. No one knew his transformed strength better than him; it was a full fifty-fold increase in power across all aspects!
In addition, his profound lightning Profound Mysteries of the Laws has already fused with five great profound mysteries, so in terms of law, he is not inferior to other Asura powerhouses. Just by unleashing the amplification of this transformation, his strength is fifty times that of other Commander!
"Not to mention, these gauntlets are Sovereign Artifact specially made for me by the Sovereign!" Most Offensive Sovereign Artifact are swords, spears, clubs, or similar weapons. For ordinary Sovereign's Emissary, the Sovereign usually just gives them any weapon that is easy to use. It is only because he is special that even the Sovereign values him so much that he specially nurtured this gauntlet-type Sovereign Artifact for him.
His greatest skill is attacking opponents with his fists. With this Sovereign Artifact gauntlet in hand, he can easily unleash power equivalent to five hundred times that of an ordinary Commander without using the Sovereign’s Might!
What does five hundred times the power mean? Even when other Commander use the Sovereign’s Might that matches their attributes, they can only unleash a few hundred times their own strength at most. They have to exert all their strength and draw upon the Sovereign’s Might to fight desperately just to barely be able to contend with him!
And once he uses a drop of the Sovereign’s Might, he can naturally increase his power by hundreds of times! At this time, any Commander without Material Defense Sovereign Artifact will be easily killed by him!
"Is his weapon also Sovereign Artifact?" Gunther had just engaged in close combat and could clearly feel the power carried by that spear, no less than that of Offensive Sovereign Artifact. But even so, he should have an absolute advantage; how could they be evenly matched?
"What exactly is that golden flame of Gunther?" Rog's mind was racing. No one knew his current strength better than him. Although he hadn't used the Sovereign’s Might yet, a casual swing of his spear could unleash hundreds of times the power of an ordinary Commander, and this was only on par with the opponent's attack.
"His amplification shouldn't be more than a hundredfold. It doesn't feel like a simple physical amplification to me." Only after actually fighting him did Rog realize the strangeness of his opponent's ability.
If it were simply a matter of increased strength, the opponent's speed couldn't possibly be this terrifying. Like Hemus, no matter how powerful his physical body, speed was his biggest weakness. And this Gunther, his speed is on a completely different level from the other Lightning Commander!
"Kid, I admit you have some skill. Now, I'm going to get serious!" After calming down, Gunther directly unleashed a drop of Lightning Sovereign’s Might!
The violent aura of the Lightning Sovereign’s Might did not leak out at all; it was completely under his control!
"That's it! That's why so many people believe that this Gunther is a potential Paragon expert!" To perfectly control the Sovereign’s Might, without a single trace of leakage or error, only the legendary Paragon High-God can achieve this Soul Control.
He can wield the Sovereign’s Might without it dissipating! This is why Gunther is widely regarded as a potential Paragon expert!
"He specifically went to the Planar Battlefield to obtain a Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact to make up for his weaknesses, so he can't possibly be Three-Element Soul Mutator. However, he's definitely not at the Paragon either. How did he manage to do that?" Rog was indeed very curious about the other party's ability.
