1275 I am making progress
"Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better,
Sometimes, you become nothing but an open target."
Lyriana spoke as she summoned more Ice Spikes, trying to pierce Arcturus's scales.
Whoosh
Arcturus, however, wasn't planning on staying in one place like some brainless monster. He flew into the Sky, to a height where Lyriana's Spikes could not reach him.
Taking away the only advantage the Elven Queen had.
From above, the Dragon Lord's large eyes shined, the Mana around him gathered near his mouth and a grave look appeared on Lyriana's face, "You should get away, that will be quite destructive."
Lyriana informed Nux before Magic Circles appeared under her feet as she prepared to face the destructive attack Arcturus was preparing.
The two cultivators looked into each other's eyes and then,
Nux saw a huge amount of energy gathering near Arcturus's mouth and the moment the Dragon Lord released that energy towards Lyriana, the Elven Queen activated her spell and, BBBOOOOOOMMM
A loud explosion was heard.
The after-effects of the energy clashing with each other were so destructive that Nux's Clone was destroyed in an instant. A huge, 100 km wide crater was formed and this was when Lyriana contained most of the damage.
This was the reason the Progenitors didn't allow the Divines to fight against each other in Yrniel, the battle hadn't even started yet, one side was even holding himself back, but even then, so much destruction could be seen.
If the Divines fought in Yrniel, it wouldn't take long for Yrniel to turn into nothing but a wasteland.
The Divine Stage Cultivators were no different than walking nuclear bombs.
Knowing that everything was cleared up, Nux sent another clone to witness the battle, he looked at the spot where Lyriana was standing. There, he saw an Ice Dome. When everything around the Ice Dome was destroyed, the Dome stood tall, without even a single scratch on its body.
Nux was surprised.
He was actually impressed that Lyriana was able to take an attack of such a level without getting hurt.
However, he had spoken too soon.
Crack
The first crack appeared on the Dome, and as if the rest was already planned, the Dome broke down, and, "Khawwkk!!"
Lyriana coughed out blood, her face was pale. He stared at Arcturus with a grave look on her face. She knew the man was a monster, but to think that she was having a hard time even after using her Law of Self.
"Roaar."
Arcturus, on the other hand, just snorted. It was as if this was an obvious outcome with nothing to be surprised about.
Of course, he didn't come out completely victorious either.
In the end, Arcturus was a Body Cultivator, manipulating Mana at such a large level wasn't possible for someone like him unless he paid a certain price for it.
And that price was his Body.
Since he forcefully used mana to such an extent, it Mana inside his Body that strengthened his body was all used up, so till he recovered his Mana, he would be in a state of extreme weakness.
And Lyriana, who already knew it, didn't miss this chance and appeared next to Arcturus.
"Give up, you know it is your loss."
'Don't act haughty when you are fighting with a handicap.'
Arcturus's reply was quick. He wasn't planning on letting this woman who was weaker than him step on his pride.
Nux has indeed changed his personality, however, the only thing he did was to remove all the animosity he had against him and change it with utmost respect and a will to absolutely follow his every word.
He even altered some of his memories, however, for the most part, Arcturus's personality was still retained.
Lyriana narrowed her eyes, however, knowing that the Dragon wasn't lying, she just turned silent.
"Do you wish to continue?" she questioned.
"I have not yet lost."
Arcturus spoke.
Then in the sky, the battle between the two Divine Cultivators continued, the outcome of the battle, however, was already very clear.
Arcturus was too weak to resist Lyriana. If it was a normal Divine Stage Cultivator, then he might still have had a chance, however, against Lyriana, he couldn't win.
The only reason he could even last this long was because he was a Dragon, a being born with a naturally strong body, if it was anyone else, he would have already collapsed for being in such a weakened state.
Thud
Half an hour later, Arcturus's body fell on the ground, he had lost consciousness and had returned to his humanoid form.
There were bruises all over his body, many of his bones were broken, honestly, if anyone from Yrniel saw his condition, they would be horrified. After all, he was the feared Dragon Lord, one of the Strongest Beings in Yrniel.
On the other hand, Lyriana walked towards Arcturus's body with a calm look on her face. Her pale face had already returned to normal, looking at her, one couldn't even tell that she had fought a battle.
