"RAAAARGH!"

An ancient beastly roar of a dragon erupted from the arena space.

"Rip!!!"

A 5-meter-long, leathery wings, colored a deep, striking blue, erupted from his back!

His body contorted, fingers elongating and merging into razor-sharp draconic paws! Two sleek, curved horns elongated from his skull, sweeping backward in a crown!

At the same time, brilliant blue scales tore through his pores, rippling across his skin like a wave of liquid armor!

They covered his face, his neck, his chest, and his entire body, overlapping flawlessly to form an armor.

His green pupils narrowed into reptilian slits!

Fangs, deadly fangs elongated from his lip and a massive, muscular tail shot out from his tailbone, sweeping the air and cracking the ground behind him.

Right now, Andrew was a mixture of Titan and Dragon, a horrifying hybrid of raw muscle and magic! He looked like a terrifying humanoid beast covered in blue armor, standing five meters tall, his wings blotting out the sun itself.

The moment he did that, the falling Clone’s body suddenly expanded!

It hit the ground and immediately transformed, its human shape bulging and distorting! It activated the dragon bloodline in that split second, copying Andrew’s exact move! It grew into a four-meter-tall half-dragon, half-man hybrid, blue scales glinting and wings flapping wildly as it tried to regain its footing! But couldn’t activate titan bloodline due to cool down time.

[Nine War God Forms]

[Ding! "Violent Strike" fully Comprehended]

[Second Form: "Flowing Phantom" Unlocked]

The system notifications had flashed a long while ago in his mind, but Andrew didn’t read them nor did he acknowledge them previously.

But now, it was important as the knowledge burn itself into his soul and muscles.

The first form, [Violent Strike], was about overwhelming force! Striking hundred times in a single slash. But the second form was about absolute, untouchable speed!

And speed always bsats strength.

"Flowing Phantom!" Andrew roared!

In that split second, the entire world seemed to pause! The color in the world faded, bleeding away like watercolor in the rain! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The blue sky, the earth, and the clouds all drained of life and color, leaving the arena in a perpetual state of black and white!

Suddenly, various crimson lines appeared in Andrew’s mind!

They were chaotic, messy, their trajectories spreading out like a badly drawn scribble across a kids drawing pad!

Andrew felt a strange connection to these lines, as though he could reach out and touch them, as though he could control their very essence! Then, deep understanding dawned on him! He instantly knew what the lines meant!

He made a mental command and immediately, every other chaotic crimson line vanished from his mind, until only one line remained.

It was a single, perfectly straight crimson line connecting directly from his current position to the Clone’s body, which was still in mid-air, its wings just flapping to realign itself after its transformation into the dragon body.

The Clone’s reptilian eyes tracked Andrew’s movements. Its wings flapped, sending shockwaves to the surroundings as it realigned its body to face Andrew with claws raised to attack.

Suddenly, a cross-shaped black and white mark suddenly flashed through the entire arena battlefield, branding itself into the fabric of space!

A small, cold smile escaped Andrew’s lips!

He raised his right leg up to take a step forward in mid-air, as casually as a man stepping onto a sidewalk! His leg hadn’t even landed, when his body simply vanished!

It was as though he had stepped on a teleportation gate, erasing the distance between two points entirely!

When his raised feet landed on the ground, he had already appeared behind the Clone, twenty meters away from his starting position! The Clone was still facing forward, its eyes wide with shock.

"SLASH!!!"

The entire arena, which had been trapped in black and white, suddenly exploded into color!

It turned black as the space was cleaved, then white as the light fractured, and finally a brilliant, violent crimson as blood splashed into the air like a splash of painting in the skies!

The Clone’s draconic head was separated from its shoulders in an instant.

"BOOOOM!"

It was only then, a full second after Andrew had already finished the attack, that the sonic boom of his movement speed echoed across the arena like a thunderclap.

One split second, he had transformed twenty meters away! The next .1 second, he was already behind the Clone, with the Clones’s head sliced off!

The headless, four-meter-tall draconic body stood frozen for a moment, a fountain of blood spraying from the severed neck before it collapsed forward onto the ground.

Andrew stood still panting as his hybrid form radiating steam and raw power!

He slowly lowered the GodSlayer Blade, the blood of the Clone sizzling was absorbed by the blade.

He looked down at the dissolving corpse, as he sighed In relief and grinned happily.

"You can mirror my moves, but can’t copy a skill I leveled up."
