Chapter 564: Balanced Powers
Chapter 564: Balanced Powers
The flames gradually diminished, and in the clash of the Tyrant Aura, they extinguished. In that instant, Kaido took the lead and transformed into a dragon, soaring into the sky, its body twisting as it spewed several purple thunderbolts from the heavens.
"Thunderbolt!"
"Thunder Strike!"
Sage's eyes didn't even have time to look up as the sky also unleashed several black-red thunderbolts, intertwining and colliding with the opponent's lightning, merging and dispersing in the air.
Kaido's long dragon body twisted again, and with the wind in its mouth, it spun like a top, creating a tornado around its body. With a breath, the wind blades mixed with the tornado, quickly sweeping past.
"Tornado Wind!"
"I can do that too!"
Sage laughed and swung his arm, unleashing a straight punch that exploded with a massive gust of wind. The wind pressure also carried chaotic wind blades, tangling with the swirling tornado winds.
Both masses collided and quickly rose, shooting into the sky, tearing the already split sky into fragments.
Boom!
In the fragmented sky, a bolt of lightning fell, faster than the previous one.
"Thunder Trigram!"
The mace, wrapped in purple-black lightning, transformed Kaido into a human-beast form as he struck downward.
At that moment, amidst the flames and thunder, the curved blade with serrated teeth on its back glowed, clashing with the falling iron rod.
"Radiant Blade!"
Bang!!
A shockwave of aura and thunder rippled through the surroundings, creating a circular impact that shook Ghost Island for a moment.
Sage gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, looking up at Kaido, who also wore a ferocious smile. Sage revealed a fierce expression, "My sword isn't bad either."
Kaido raised his mace, and in the brief stalemate, he straightened his massive body in the air. Before Sage could react, Kaido side-kicked, his knee striking Sage's sword-wielding hand, and his shin hitting Sage's body, sending him flying with a loud bang.
Sage glided low in the air, not flying far before his body suddenly stalled. With a swift spin, he swung the sword in his hand.
"Radiant Strike!"
Buzz!
A laser-like slash swiftly emerged from the blade enveloped in thunder and fire, but Kaido effortlessly dodged it, sidestepping to the side.
Sizzle!
A smooth and massive crack opened in the ground beside Kaido, with no end in sight.
Kaido glanced at the crack and looked up, laughing, "Oh, that old hag's ability suits you well, and you haven't disgraced her might. But your swordsmanship is lacking; you look all clumsy!"
"I can't argue with that," Sage admitted with a shake of his head. He loosened his grip, and the pirate's curved blade shrank back into a golden armguard, which he wore on his wrist.
Compared to those who had wielded weapons for years, like an extension of their arms, Sage's swordsmanship indeed fell short.
He didn't know any swordsmanship; he merely swung his weapon with his aura and abilities. On the vast sea, he could only be considered 'proficient.' For those who specialized in a single path and stood at the pinnacle, he fell far behind.
If not for that, Kaido's kick wouldn't have landed.
Sage exhaled a breath of turbid air, straightened his body, and glared at Kaido, "Then..."
Whoosh!
In an instant, a black-red lightning bolt surged before Kaido, and Sage leaped, appearing in front of Kaido's head. With arms wide open, he pulled his fists from behind and slammed them downward.
Kaido's pupils constricted, and his mace was about to swing forward. But as it neared Sage's body, Sage's airborne form suddenly floated upward, his foot, enveloped in black-red lightning, stomped on the mace. Kaido's strike felt like hitting cotton or a slippery object, and for a moment, he couldn't lift the mace!
"Force Dispel!"
Sage's mouth widened, and his descending fist carried a howling gust, slamming towards Kaido's head.
"This is not enough! Thunder Trigram!"
Kaido quickly retreated, drawing out his mace as he did so, and in the moment Sage's attack was about to land, he unleashed a teleportation-like strike, aiming for Sage's head.
But just as the iron mace moved, Sage's body suddenly lunged forward, not retracting his swinging hand but instead continuing the motion with his body, colliding his shoulder with Kaido's face, and as his hand descended, it instantly rose, delivering a ferocious Tiger Climb Strike to Kaido's throat.
Bang!!
The impact from his elbow and Kaido's throat sent Kaido flying backward, crashing into a rock behind him, which shattered and propelled him further forward, finally causing him to fall heavily, kicking up a cloud of dust and smoke.
"Elbow Strike, Lock and Strike!"
Sage landed on the ground, straightened his body, and grinned viciously, "Compared to swords and blades, my fists pack a greater punch, don't they?"
Boom!
The dust and smoke dispersed, and a purple-black thunderbolt burst forth, with Kaido swiftly diving down and swinging his mace to unleash a pillar-shaped impact.
"Golden Dart!"
The correct version is at 6=9+Book_Bar First Release of this Novel.
Sage neither dodged nor evaded, transforming his fist into a palm, and with his right hand supported by his left palm, he forcefully pushed forward, unleashing a black light similar to the pillar-shaped impact.
"Heavenly Descent, Raging Blaze!"
Boom!!
The clash of Haoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki created another wave of impact and a massive cloud of dust and smoke, from which a figure swiftly darted out, Kaido standing on a cloud with his mace swinging above like a propeller, striking downward.
"Third Generation, Inferno Descent!"
Just as he jumped aside, Sage also moved, neither dodging nor able to dodge, much like how Kaido couldn't evade his attacks, and between the two, it was a pure clash of strength!
"Hundred Ghosts, Assault Break!"
Sage charged upward, meeting Kaido's descending figure with the simplest and fastest straight punch, which, due to his high-speed movement, struck Kaido's chin first.
And as the mace descended, it slammed into Sage's face.
Bang!!
Kaido's body flew upward due to the immense force, while Sage landed like a cannonball, creating a deep crater.
But soon, Sage jumped out of the crater, and Kaido fell heavily to the ground.
The wind on Ghost Island howled, blowing their clothes and hair horizontally.
The two locked eyes, both with vicious grins, and blood dripped from the corners of their mouths.
"You've grown a lot, kid!"
Kaido laughed, "Indeed, only this kind of fight gets my blood pumping! The other Four Emperors don't give me that feeling at all. That old man Whitebeard and that old woman won't fight me, and the only one who can is Red-Haired Shanks, but he's not very interesting."
"It seems you're the most interesting one, Sage!"
"Coincidentally, I also think Red-Haired Shanks is boring, always hiding his true strength like a con artist pirate."
Sage twisted his neck, clenching his fist, "Only fighting you gives me that thrilling feeling!"
