Chapter 73
After copying the skills of Eliazar, Zephyr drew his swords and quickly swung at Eliazar. Eliazar calmly deflected the Zephyr's swords away with a fist but due to the benefit of the domain, all attacks of Zephyr landed on Eliazar.
Eliazar ignored the damages he received and instead, rushed towards the slowed Zephyr. However Eliazar was left baffled wondering why Zephyr had no intention to defend at all.
Seeing the defenseless body of Zephyr, Eliazar didn't miss this opportunity. He indiscriminately struck at the body of Zephyr. Eliazar's fists continued to move but after attacking continuously for a moment, Eliazar suddenly stepped back.
'Why does I feel like I'm attacking a barrier instead of his body when this doesn't happened earlier?'
He was once again confused as he now knew that Zephyr always give him many surprises. Without caring about what's going on in his mind, countless arcs of blue sparks buzzed around Zephyr as he casted [Thunder's Wrath].
Kwa-bzzzzz! !
'Lightning magic again?'
Eliazar's eyes widened from surprise. Everything in the arena was getting in the sweep up in the blue electrical storm and disintegrated in an instant.
'It's not a regular lightning!'
30 rays of lightning bolts containing a horrifying destructive power headed towards Eliazar with an extreme speed.
[Critical!]
[You have dealt 4,525,219 damage to the target.]
With the current intelligence stats of Zephyr, massive damage was dealt. Eliazar knew that he managed to survive this because he has the massive defense of a demi-god. If not, he didn't knew if he would survive.
Zephyr dashed towards Eliazar right away and once again aimed at a gap. He seized the opportunity and slashed his swords as fast like lightning.
Receiving the slashes from all the swords of Zephyr, Eliazar grinned as he now decided to show Zephyr the might of the demi-god as he wasn't able to show it earlier due to the unbelievable surprises of Zephyr.
A scythe appeared in his hands making Zephyr narrow his eyes seeing it. He could sense that this scythe is a Mythic rated weapon as it was the possession of a demi-god.
The old man rushed toward Zephyr as fast that not even a silhouette could be seen. Zephyr didn't panic, and his [Dragon Eyes] focused and followed the Eliazar's movements to the end. He could see that the scythe moved sharply towards his neck.
Before the scythe could land on his neck, it stopped just an inches away. Seeing this, Eliazar narrow his eyes as now confirmed this.
'Infinity Barrier?'
He doesn't want to believe but he was seeing this right now with his own eyes. He wondered how Zephyr was able to use this but didn't dwell on it for too long as he knew that Zephyr was truly extraordinary.
Without any hesitation, he once again swung his magic infused scythe at Zephyr.
[Your agility will rise by 40% for 2 seconds.]
Zephyr immediately casted [Chrono Lag] on himself after the duration of the [Chrono Lag] of Eliazar ended. Zephyr's body became even more faster as he immediately reacted and the scythe and the swords of Zephyr clashed with each other.
BOOM! !
A huge explosion spread due to the collision of tremendous powers and both of them was flung away by the rebounds. Spreading their wings, both of them resisted it.
Both of them immediately dashed towards each other with everything they got.
(Kufuhahaha! This fight is truly amusing!)
Zephyr heared Hyrkan's voice of ecstacy in the Aetherius Dragon Slaying but he ignored it. Countless blue-colored rays of light crashed down on Eliazar as Zephyr simultaneously spammed his [Lightning Blast] along with all his sword skills.
Even receiving the damages, Eliazar continued to slash his scythe at an extreme speed even with its massive size. However with the [Absolute Defense] and [Infinity Barrier], Zephyr had nothing to worry about.
Zephyr focused on his offense as he didn't bother to dodge or defend. Eliazar realized his intention and complained on his mind that the favor was truly on Zephyr as he was still under the influence of the domain.
With all attacks of Zephyr that is guaranteed to hit and being a Sword Saint, he knew that he wouldn't receive the benefits of the [Infinity Barrier] unlike Zephyr.
'However, that doesn't mean I would go down without a satisfying fight.'
Zephyr immediately slashed his sword and Eliazar raised his scythe and attempted to block it. Seeing the scythe that was going to block the trajectory of his sword, intense blood lust filled the air as he used [Vorpal Destruction] with it.
Venomous Demon Sword and Aetherius Dragon Slaying sword dag deeply into Eliazar's shoulder. Taking the opportunity, Zephyr immediately used [Paralyzing Bite].
[Venomous Demon Sword's option effect is activated, causing the skill 'Paralyzing Bite' to be generated.]
[You have inflicted stun for 5 seconds.]
[Due to the tier and level difference, stun duration will be reduced to 0.2 seconds.]
Zephyr wasn't bothered by the reduced duration as even the stun effect of his [Lightning Blast] was now nonexistent against Eliazar. For him, it was more than enough as he then fired [Lightning Bolt] stunning Eliazar Eliazar for another 0.4 seconds.
Zephyr heard Eliazar's groan but ignored it. With the effect of the Soulstone of Pride, Zephyr knew that this match is his win. However even with that thought, he was calm and focused on the battle.
"Phew."
Zephyr then heard Eliazar took a breath. Seeing him that he had already recovered from his stunned state, the scythe and swords once again collided. The ground of the two formed a deep crater by the shock waves from the collision.
Suddenly he saw the speed of Eliazar became faster as the demi-god casted the [Chrono Lag] on himself. His fist that was surrounded by his intense magic power slammed on Zephyr's face.
But thanks to the [Infinity Barrier], the attack did not managed to reach the desired target. If not, Zephyr would uncontrollably tumble only to come on an end after rolling on the ground for dozen of meters.
Zephyr immediately gathered his magic power in his mouth and immediately fired [Dragon Breath] towards Eliazar. Eliazar then narrowed his gaze seeing the incoming breath but it was very different from before.
If the previous [Dragon Breath] was just formed from the magic power that was infused by the dragon's power, now it was more threatening. He could sense that the element within it had changed but he could not pinpoint what has changed.
As the breath landed, tremendous amount of blood surged from where the breath landed. Not just it dealt him tremendous damage, he also felt an excruciating pain from it.
'What's the element of it?'
He wondered what element was mixed on the [Dragon's Breath] that resulted him for being on this state.
Etherion, the element that is unique to the Arcane Dragon. The combination of all other elements of magic. The most powerful of all.
This is the reason why Hyrkan dominated all the transcendents in Tensura. With this element that is unique to the Arcane Dragon, he can devour any magic, immune to all types of magic, has high affinity and dominates all elements at will.
Now Zephyr was benefitting from the previlage of Hyrkan as he is now using the 1% of the Arcane Dragon's power.
Suddenly he remembered something, activating one of his title's effect, a radiant golden light illuminated the surrounding.
[Monkey King's power has manifested.]
[Within a limited time, all stats increase.]
[Within a limited time, all physical defenses increase.]
[Within a limited time, all element defenses increase.]
The Sword Aura, demonic aura, nature energy, and draconic aura of Zephyr suddenly raged as he made it burst to the maximum. Gripping his sword and aimed it at Eliazar, he then rushed towards him as lightning surrounded him as he used [Lightning Body].
Seeing his current state, Eliazar smiled widely and said.
"You win. With this I surrender."
The rushing Zephyr immediately stopped as a barrage of notifications appeared.
[You have defeated the Nephilim Demi-God Eliazar.]
[You are the first legend in the history to defeat a mythic.]
[The title, 'God Slayer's Candidate' has been obtained.]
[You have won a fight when the odds are against you.]
[The title, 'One who Overcome the Adversity' has been strengthened.]

At the same time, the whole word started to shake. It was the aftermath of the shocking message that appeared to all users who connected to Tensura.
[Tensura's Server Announcement: Player Zephyr is the first player to defeat a mythic. He is the only legend in the world who had defeated a myth. He will be awarded '???'. For the rest of the players, please continue to work hard.]
"What is this absurdity? !"
"What Mythic? Isn't this supposed the realm of the Tier 5 and Tier 6 or the Gods? !"
"So Zephyr is really in possession of a legendary class! ! !"
"The first legendary class out of billion users has appeared!"
"This doesn't make sense! How is he powerful enough to defeat a being that surpasses a legend?"
"Maybe the opponent is weakend?"
"That's not enough! ! ! A mythic is a mythic, there's no way he could do that!"
It was at the level of panic. The reaction was different compared to when the time Zephyr became a Tier 2 was announced. The Atlas Corps judged that the atmosphere was being overheated from one topic and wanted to take action.
Zephyr on the other hand didn't paid attention even he leveled up until level 74 as he dispersed his domain and released the overwhelming powers he possessed. The mask that radiated the intense demonic power, the dragon scales and etc disappeared.
He then unequipped the Aetherius Set and changed it back with the other set. With all equipments and swords back in his inventory, he heard Eliazar's voice.
"You fought well. I was proud of everything."
"Thank you."
Zephyr responsded with his monotone voice.
"To think I would be defeated by a Tier 2, it's really surprising right?"
Eliazar said with a smile and Zephyr didn't sense any sign of regrets in it. He could somewhat tell that Eliazar found this situation interesting instead.
"Well as this is your win, it's should only be natural that I will give you something. Well this is not really much though sa I haven't have any other things but please accept this."
[You have acquired Fly Skill Book.]
[You have acquired Shard of the Ruyi Jingu Bang.]
'Shard?'
Looking at the yellow piece, Zephyr was filled with curiosity. Before he could respond, the shard in his inventory appeared out of nowhere. With the two pieces nearing each other, the shards flew to each other and combined.
With the sound of them being bound together, a larger piece of the Shard of the Ruyi Jingu Bang that was about the size of a thumb finger fell into his palm.
[You have discovered a Shard of the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Complete the Ruyi Jingu Bang after finding more shards.]
[Shard of the Ruyi Jingu Bang]
Rating: Rare
[One of the pieces of the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the Monkey King's holy artifact. It currently has no function and must be assembled with the other pieces of the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
* Currently collected: 2 of 10.]
Zephyr then shifted his gaze at Eliazar wondering why he was giving the shards to Zephyr. Sensing this, the demi-god responded.
"Well as you have shown earlier, you have the ability to use the [Sage Arts] and you were also able to manifest Sun Wukong's power at the last moment."
"With that, I'm sure you're his successor or something so I decided to give this to you as it would be beneficial."
Zephyr nodded after hearing it as it also made sense. He then inspected the skill book that Eliazar gave to him.

Flying speed is 10% to the caster's magic power.

Zephyr's eyes lit up seeing it. It might be just an epic skill but in his hands, it was comparable to a legendary skill as he possessed a massive magic power.
He then looked at the title he obtained as he was also curious on what he obtained.
