Legend of the Lightning Strike
35. The Climax
Aji used his powers to force the magical energy nets to tighten. The souls struggled even more, but they couldn't escape Aji's magical net.
Aji felt the abilities he had learned over the past twenty years were now working. After the great battle, Aji was transported by Yonan's final ability. Furthermore, Ganada sacrificed himself to fight to the death.
Aji was transported by Yonan's final magical power. Aji was separated from the real world and felt as if he were in a different dimension. He had been alone for twenty years.
While the world was real, it was like a mirror world of Earth. All the earth's features were the same, but there were no inhabitants. This was a mirror world of the world. It was then that Aji continued to move forward and practice the two teachings of his friends, Ganada and Yonan. Two copies of his powers had been given to Aji before their all-out battle with Shura.
As he continued to move toward the end of the world, Aji continued to travel, learning the power of magic and assassination at the same time. He was so obsessed with power that over the years, he became increasingly proficient in using magic and assassin powers.
It could be said that Aji spent the 20 years in a different dimension training three abilities simultaneously: warrior skills, assassin skills, and magic skills. Perhaps all three had reached the pinnacle of their respective martial arts.
It was during this journey, over the course of twenty years, that Aji's abilities improved. At the end of the world, Aji's face became youthful again. This was due to the power of the water of life, the water at the end of the world. However, it was also enhanced by one of the Heavenly Secret artifacts.
Aji endured his solitary journey patiently and persistently. His goal was one: defeating the Demon Lord, Shura. It was his only hope for survival in this world, and it was also a prerequisite for him to allow his two companions to sleep peacefully in eternity.
The web Aji had formed gradually, and now the size of an elephant. All the trapped souls struggled, moving around in every corner. Aji held them back with his strength.
It continued to shrink. Suddenly, all the moaning soul fragments regrouped and formed a figure. It was Lord Demon.
Lord Demon grinned and waved both hands forcefully. The net Aji had formed shattered and vanished as if burned. Lord Demon descended from his position above, leaving the ground shattered.
Aji and Lord Demon faced each other again. They prepared their strength and gathered energy to attack their opponent.
Lord Demon attacked first, flames blazing around his body. A second later, he vanished and shot away at high speed. His speed was like a flame traveling at the speed of light. The naked eye would have had difficulty seeing such swift movements.
Aji was able to see Lord Demon's direction, and a kick, a stream of fiery energy shrouded in dark smoke, struck Aji's head from above. Aji swiftly retreated, his steps gentle yet swift. Maintaining his balance, Aji spun around and punched Lord Demon in a counterattack.
Lord Demon, after kicking at an empty target, also aimed his punch at Aji. The two powerful blows collided again, and a second later, they attacked each other with punches and kicks. They weaved and dodged, dodging each other's blows and kicks.
Their speed was incredibly fast, and the clink of energy fragments spread everywhere. They were occasionally seen on the left, clashing. However, a moment later, they were elsewhere, clashing again.
The speed of their attacks was beyond imagination. Even ordinary warriors couldn't see such a fast and powerful battle.
It had been a long time since Aji had enjoyed a fight like this. Twenty years of solitude, with no friends to talk to. It was certainly a solitude filled only with training and training. Destroying mountains or spewing the contents of lakes was a particular pleasure for Aji during his solitary journey.
Now, the targeted enemy appeared before him. This was the culmination of his goal. Aji was eager to face Lord Demon. It was time to go all out!
As they clashed over the waters, the waters would surge like a tsunami from the impact of their energy clashes. The moment they moved near a hill or mountain, the mountain would explode with ease.
This climax was decisive for Aji; his goal had to be achieved.
"Surrender, Lightning Striker! I will consider you my ally, and we will work together to rule the world. No one can defeat us anymore! He... he... he...!"
Lord Demon's sly smile flashed across Aji's face. They were clashing with their energy. Their hands intertwined, blocking each other's attacks. Their eyes locked.
"I don't need to rule the world, Shura! I simply want to stop you. That's the purpose of my life and my exile all this time. I've spent my time in solitude training to surprise you. Now, the time has come. I will destroy you!"
Aji's face was scarred, his anger filled. He channeled powerful energy through both hands. He slammed it towards Lord Demon. Lord Demon did the same, preparing a powerful force to block Aji's attack, and the clash of energies erupted again.
Both were thrown quite far. Aji was injured, and he immediately moved to regulate his breathing and heal the internal injuries. For a moment, he recovered his strength through his breathing. Fortunately, he had also learned healing techniques from the world of magic taught in Yonan's legacy.
Aji was able to use healing energy simultaneously in a short time. Aji's wounds healed quickly. He saw Lord Demon, too, from a distance, preparing to return.
Aji remembered his twenty years of solitude, remembering only the faces of his two friends who had preceded him into the realm of eternity. The shadows of their faces served as Aji's motivation to persevere and deepen his inner strength.
He channeled that spirit again, magic, speed, and strength gathering within him. This was the perfect time to destroy the Demon Lord. There was no better time or opportunity than now. When he faced the Demon Lord one-on-one.
This opportunity would certainly not come again, the one he had always been waiting for. Light blazed within Aji's fist as he channeled his combat and magical power simultaneously. A wisp of energy, like lines, surrounded his fist; it was a magical power that augmented the foundation of his specialized lightning energy.
It was time! Twenty years of solitude in a different dimension had found its answer. This was the answer, the moment to defeat the Demon Lord!
