Chapter 918 Beleth Vs Sirik (II)
There was no skill, technique, or magic spell behind Sirik\'s attack. There was only pure raw strength that the Astral Fiend managed to summon using the gifts granted to him by his bloodline.
Despite the lack of skill in that attack, Beleth was surprised since it was totally different from what he saw Sirik displaying during the Universe Breaking World. Since he had prepared to engage in a long fight full of skill, Sirik\'s brute approach broke his rhythm, leaving him in a very dangerous position.
The worst part for Beleth was not just the brute attack but the fact that despite using the full power of the Concept of Wrath to enhance his physical strength, he was weaker than Sirik!
Although Depravitas were ideas made flesh and gifted with the ethereal power of Concepts, those that took the body refinement path were known for possessing a physical constitution that did not fall beneath that of Primordials!
Beleth was one of the great geniuses of the Depravita Sacred Mountain. Although he had not taken direct teachings from the Revenge Thearch, he was under the personal tutelage of Ira.
The young genius Depravita was famous for his feats, defeating a Rank 8 Primordial while still at Rank 7. That is why the entire arena went silent when they saw how Sirik pushed Beleth down with pure physical strength!
Even the Sacred Kings were surprised to see how Sirik managed to overwhelm Beleth. It was true that taking the Depravita by surprise had a lot to do, but the key behind it was entirely the Astral Fiend\'s physical strength.
The Sacred Kings turned toward Heinz with inquisitive eyes. They wanted to know if there was a way in which the Sun and Moon Sword Inheritance could enhance Sirik\'s brute strength.
Heinz looked back at them and softly shook his head. Sirik was not using Sun and Moon Sword Inheritance and was solely relying on his brute strength, shocking the Sacred Kings.
The Astral Fiend Bloodline had already spread across the Daybreak Universe due to Roku granting it as a gift to promising youths. Yet, that was a weak version of the bloodline, and it was only in Sirik, the Nightmare King\'s biological son, that the Astral Fiend Bloodline showed its true might and was revolutionary.
Sirik was sure his brute power would cause shock, but his focus did not leave the Depravita. He immediately shortened the distance between the two before carrying on with his onslaught.
Beleth attempted to counter, but Sirik\'s momentum was too great and just kept growing. No matter what he did, he could not push the Astral Fiend back and kept moving closer to the ground.
Venganza\'s eyes glowed as he stared at the battle between the Astral Fiend and Depravita, and he looked to the sky before uttering a few words that only he and the Sacred Kings could hear.
"How close in terms of power do you think the Astral Fiend Bloodline compares to yours?"
All the Sacred Kings turned toward Ezequiel when they heard that. The rise of another Fourth Realm Bloodline involved the safety of the entire Daybreak Universe.
Although a Fourth Realm Bloodline did not mean a Fourth Realm life form, it could grant Rank 10 battle power to someone that reached Extreme Rank 9 as it did to Ezequiel during the Ultimate Multiversal War.
Ezequiel looked at Venganza before turning toward Roku, and the power of the Emptiness Truth manifested in his eyes. After a few seconds, he came up with an answer.
"Roku\'s Astral Fiend bloodline currently has 20% of my Lord of Emptiness Bloodline\'s overall power. That should rise by approximately a factor of 3 if he becomes a True Rank 10 life form."
The difference between their powers surprised the Sacred Kings, and they thought that the Astral Fiend Bloodline could not compare with the Lord of Emptiness Bloodline. However, Ezequiel had not finished.
"If we only take into consideration the brute strength we can unleash depending solely on our bodies, then his physical strength is equal to 80% of mine. As for how much that will rise once the Astral Fiend Bloodline evolves, I can not say."
Ezequiel looked at the Astral Fiend, and a flash of fighting intent emerged in his gaze. The Lord of Emptiness Bloodline granted incredibly powerful bodies, but their true gift was the ability to commune with the universe and make its strength your own.
On the other hand, the Astral Fiend Bloodline gifted you an immensely powerful constitution, but that was just one half. It also granted extraordinary wisdom and intelligence, allowing you to fully explode your body\'s physical power.
Whether a Fourth Realm\'s Astral Fiend Bloodline or the Lord of Emptiness Bloodline provided a stronger body was only possible to determine with a clash between the True Rank 10 Roku and Ezequiel.
Awe and shock appeared in the Sacred Kings\' eyes when they heard that and could not help but turn to Roku. Even Venganza was surprised, and there was admiration in his gaze as he focused on the Nightmare King.
"I can see why he is considered one of the top three Nightmare Kings. I am impressed." Venganza softly nodded in Roku\'s direction before focusing on the arena.
Roku\'s perception was powerful enough to feel all those gazes focused on him, but he couldn\'t care less. Right now, there was nothing on his mind, but the magnificent scene his son displayed for the entire Daybreak Universe. He could not hide his smile as he saw how Sirik dominated the battle depending on nothing more than the power of the Astral Fiend Bloodline.
The Nightmare King knew his son would have an easier time if he used the Sun and Moon Sword Inheritance alongside the Astral Fiend Bloodline, but chose to only use the latter so the entire universe could see the might of their lineage!
A fierce silver light appeared in Roku\'s eyes as he saw that, and his determination to reach True Rank 10 grew even stronger.
