Chapter 1136 Regalia: Achile — Ruinity
Chapter 1136 Regalia: Achile — Ruinity
As Kesya stood adorned with the regalia, her posture exuded a newfound confidence. The anklets, imbued with the essence of Hell\'s Prism, symbolized a fusion of her formidable strength with the arcane power of the underworld. The air itself seemed to respond to the regalia\'s presence, creating an atmosphere charged with anticipation.
Rakumtatak applauded with genuine enthusiasm, "Ah, finally a worthy sight! It\'s been so long since I\'ve battled a cultivator with a regalia at their disposal."
Kesya, emboldened by Rakumtatak\'s acknowledgment, grinned defiantly and declared, "Then you better savor this!" A surge of formidable fighting spirit emanated from her, engulfing the immediate surroundings. With a swift motion, she lifted her feet, the Hell\'s Prism anklets gleaming ominously, before delivering a powerful kick against the air.
Rakumtatak\'s eyes widened in surprise as he felt a disturbance in the space around him. A series of tiny slits appeared on his face, mirroring the spatial anomalies that manifested in the trajectory of Kesya\'s kick. The orc emperor\'s hair fluttered, and for a brief moment, he found himself entranced by the intricate dance of spatial distortions.
The onlookers, Lyon and his companions included were mesmerized by the unfolding spectacle. The clash between Kesya\'s regalia and Rakumtatak\'s spatial prowess created a dynamic and visually stunning display. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as the two formidable beings pushed the boundaries of their respective powers.
Kesya\'s regalia, Achile, pulsed with an ethereal glow as she executed a blindingly swift maneuver. The air crackled with energy, and in an instant, she vanished from her original position. Time itself seemed to hesitate, a collective breath held as the spectators witnessed the astonishing display of her newfound power.
"Ngh?!" Rakumtatak had his eyes widened.
Rakumtatak, the formidable Orc Emperor, felt a sudden force impacting his chin with unparalleled precision. The blow, a culmination of Kesya\'s enhanced agility, sent him soaring through the air. The sound of the impact echoed through the Fourth Hell, and for a brief moment, the usual chaos of the realm yielded to the stunned silence of onlookers.
As Rakumtatak tumbled backward, a resounding gasp escaped the lips of those who beheld the scene. Even the most seasoned cultivators were caught off guard by the sheer brilliance of Kesya\'s move. The Orc Emperor\'s formidable stature seemed dwarfed as he struggled to regain control in the air, his expression a mix of surprise and reluctant admiration.
The onlookers stood in stunned silence, their eyes wide with disbelief as Kesya\'s regalia, Achile, manifested its incredible power. The once chaotic atmosphere of the Fourth Hell yielded to an almost reverent hush, broken only by the crackling echoes of the regalia\'s energy.
"Did you see that? She moved like a bolt of lightning!" whispered one bewildered cultivator to another, his voice barely audible over the residual echoes of the astonishing display.
"I\'ve never seen anything like it. How did she cover that distance so quickly?" a seasoned elder questioned, his eyes squinting as if trying to unravel the mystery before him.
Rakumtatak\'s eyes glinted with amusement as he observed Kesya, his massive form slowly regaining its composure. The battle-tested orc wore a bemused smile, a stark contrast to the astonishment rippling through the onlookers.
"Incredible," he rumbled, his voice carrying a mixture of surprise and admiration. "With the help of that Regalia, you managed to surpass my observation and reflexes, despite being in the lower cultivation realm."
Kesya, still brimming with fighting spirit, shot him a defiant grin. "That\'s the power of Achile. You might be an emperor, but don\'t think you\'re the only one with tricks up their sleeve."
The onlookers, their initial shock slowly transforming into fascination, listened intently to the exchange between the two formidable figures. Whispers of admiration and speculation spread like wildfire among the cultivators, eager to understand the dynamics of this unexpected confrontation.
Rakumtatak chuckled, a deep, resonant sound that echoed through the Fourth Hell. "I haven\'t enjoyed a battle like this in ages. It seems I\'ve underestimated the talents of the younger generation."
Kesya, undeterred, assumed a combat stance. "Underestimation can be a fatal flaw, even for an emperor."
The air crackled with tension as the two prepared for the next phase of their clash. The onlookers, captivated by the unfolding spectacle, held their breaths, anticipating the continuation of this extraordinary battle between a legendary orc emperor and an agile warrior wielding the mysterious power of a regalia.
"But I know that Regalia is not just significantly boosting your speed, right?" Rakumtatak\'s voice resonated, carrying both curiosity and a hint of challenge.
Kesya responded with a smirk of her own, a glint of mischief in her eyes. "My teacher always told me not to reveal my prowess to the enemy, let them discover it in the afterlife.
Rakumtatak chuckled, the sound echoing through the open air. "Well said, well taught. Time to put those lessons to the test."
The orc emperor surged forward with surprising agility for his size, closing the distance between them in an instant. Kesya, relying on her enhanced speed, gracefully danced around Rakumtatak\'s advances, evading his powerful strikes with a combination of finesse and anticipation.
The first impact reverberated through the air as Kesya\'s feet met Rakumtatak\'s massive fist, creating a momentary standstill. The onlookers held their breath, witnessing the clash of unparalleled strength and agility. Rakumtatak\'s smirk indicated confidence, but Kesya\'s grin hinted at an upcoming surprise.
As the impact loosened, Kesya wasted no time. With unparalleled speed and agility, she unleashed a swift kick to the emperor\'s colossal face. The grin on Kesya\'s face only widened, her movements fueled by the unleashed power of the \'Frenzy.\' Rakumtatak, the orc emperor, proved to be a formidable opponent, absorbing the blows with the resilience befitting his title.
Internally, Rakumtatak\'s thoughts raced as he endured the relentless onslaught from Kesya. Each blow from the dark elf seemed to defy the natural order, striking with a speed and precision that left the orc emperor bewildered. His formidable strength and battle experience were being tested by an adversary who moved faster than he could track.
( What\'s going on?! ) Rakumtatak questioned himself, attempting to unravel the mystery of Kesya\'s movements. Her agility was beyond anything he had encountered, making it nearly impossible to predict her next strike. The frenzy she unleashed added another layer of complexity, shrouding her attacks in a chaotic dance that disrupted any attempt at discerning a pattern.
Amidst the intense battle, the air crackled with the residual energy of their clashes. Onlookers below could hardly follow the rapid exchange, witnessing a spectacle that blurred the lines between offense and defense. Rakumtatak\'s frustration grew as Kesya exploited every opening with an agility that seemed to defy the very essence of combat.
"Is she using some kind of technique? Or is this a result of that regalia?" Rakumtatak pondered, attempting to unravel the enigma that was Kesya\'s combat style. The battlefield became a canvas of dynamic motion, where each movement carried the weight of an unseen strategy. Kesya\'s silent prowess spoke louder than words, leaving Rakumtatak to grapple with the challenge of adapting to an opponent who moved faster than perception allowed.
The relentless battle between Kesya and Rakumtatak reached a pivotal moment as the orc emperor decided to unleash a burst of anti-mana, creating a formidable shockwave that pushed the agile dark elf away. The skirmish had persisted for an entire hour, showcasing Kesya\'s incredible agility and Rakumtatak\'s unwavering endurance.
In the aftermath of the anti-mana burst, Kesya found herself distanced from Rakumtatak, who observed her with a bemused expression. The dark elf, despite her extraordinary combat skills, was visibly catching her breath. Rakumtatak seized the opportunity to offer his observation.
"You lack stamina, young one," the orc emperor remarked, his tone carrying a mix of amusement and wisdom. The comment struck a chord with Kesya, who had pushed herself to the limits during the prolonged exchange. The revelation of this vulnerability added a layer of complexity to the ongoing confrontation.
Rakumtatak\'s grin widened as he blinked forward, aiming a powerful punch directly at Kesya\'s stomach. However, as his fist traversed the remaining distance, an imperceptible but undeniable resistance slowed down his momentum. His eyes widened in realization, understanding that the regalia Kesya wielded had created a localized temporal distortion, subtly altering the flow of time within its confined zone.
"So that\'s it... the regalia created a zone to slow time," Rakumtatak mused inwardly, a rare moment of acknowledgment for the dark elf\'s strategic brilliance. Despite the minuscule effect, the temporal manipulation disrupted the fluidity of the orc emperor\'s movements, leaving him momentarily vulnerable.
Capitalizing on this advantage, Kesya, with unmatched agility, maneuvered herself in the slowed temporal space. In a swift and calculated motion, she delivered a precise kick to Rakumtatak\'s face.
The impact was fierce, and Rakumtatak found himself propelled like a projectile toward a nearby mountain. The collision between the orc emperor and the mountain created a humongous vertical crater, marking the culmination of Kesya\'s masterful execution of the "Achile Art: Ruinity."
