Thunder God's Reincarnation

Mu-Gun recalled formulating an unparalleled sword technique in his mind. He called it Ultimate Thunder Sword, a technique that condensed ten thousand Infinite Thunder Swords into one.

In theory, the Ultimate Thunder Sword was capable of exerting ten thousand times more power than the Infinite Thunder Sword but naturally required a great deal of internal energy. Hence, Mu-Gun had never dared put it into practice.

Absorbing the energy of the four Spirit Kings had made the technique usable. However, using something he had never used before in combat posed a lot of risks, especially since his opponent was the Demon God. In this fight, he could not afford to let his guard down for even a moment.

The moment he made a mistake and failed to bring forth the Ultimate Thunder Sword, he would likely be rendered helpless against the Demon God. To reduce the risk a little, someone would have to hold off the Demon God until he was done conjuring it. Fortunately, he had the Dragons with him. They could hold the enemy’s attention, even though it would just be for a brief moment.

Mu-Gun telepathically asked Blaze to keep Baal occupied. In turn, Blaze relayed his message to the others. Immediately deducing that Mu-Gun was planning to unleash a powerful technique, they decided to buy him the time he needed even if it could cost them their lives.

Amid Mu-Gun and Baal’s fierce battle, the six Dragons secretly ascended into the sky and rushed straight at their target. Noticing their advances, Baal sent a Demonic Dragon to deal with them.

The Dragons mustered all the energy in their Mana Hearts and cast incomparably powerful Breaths, shattering the Demonic Dragon in one fell swoop. The Breaths surged toward the Demon God.

Frowning, the Demon God wrapped himself in dark flames. As soon as the Dragons’ Breaths struck him, his fiery barrier’s Annihilation trait devoured every bit of them. without a trace.

Having exhausted all the energy in their Mana Hearts, the Dragons began to fall.

The Demon God tried to unleash a Demonic Dragon toward the falling Dragons but was forced to turn his attention to the other side, sensing an enormous amount of energy. A cluster of golden light had gathered in Mu-Gun’s hands, forming an attack far stronger than the golden swords earlier.

With his instincts warning him of danger, Baal knew he had to stop it before it could take form. He summoned a Demonic Dragon and sent it toward Mu-Gun at lightning speed.

Having conjured enough Infinite God Qi, Mu-Gun opened his eyes.

“Go forth!”

He pushed the cluster of golden lights forward, causing it to turn into a sword and stretch out like a ray of light. Imbued with immense power, it blew apart everything it touched, even the space it occupied. The Demonic Dragon was no exception. It disappeared as soon as it collided with the golden light.

The golden sword surged toward the Demon God, forcing him to jump away to evade. However, the attack simply changed directions and continued chasing after him.

The Demon God sharply turned a few more times to shake it off, but it just kept following him. The distance between them had gradually narrowed too. Hence, realizing that evasion was impossible, he concluded that he had to use force to stop it. He was unsure if that was even doable, but he had no other choice but to face it head-on.

Baal turned toward the incoming attack and brought out all his demonic divinity, forming a Demonic Dark Flame Sword.

“Time to put an end to this!” Baal shouted as he launched his own attack.

The golden sword flying toward him collided with the Demonic Dark Flame Sword, unleashing a shockwave so powerful that it threatened to break the sky itself. Caught in the blast range, the Centrion Mountain Range crumbled as the ground trembled.

The two attacks tried to destroy each other, but they were evenly matched. Mu-Gun and Baal poured all their energy into their respective swords, knowing full well that this battle would end the moment one of them lost ground.

Mu-Gun had been expecting his technique to be strong enough to defeat the Demon God without much difficulty. Hence, witnessing the Demonic Dark Flame Sword holding its ground against the Ultimate Thunder Sword shocked him beyond belief.

The Demon God certainly was no easy opponent. It was said that he could not exert even half of his original power in Avalon, yet he was still this powerful. Mu-Gun could not imagine overpowering Baal if he had all of his strength.

The Ultimate Thunder Sword had already consumed a great deal of energy and was rapidly depleting his reserves. If it lost power faster than the Demonic Dark Flame Sword, everything would be over. Unfortunately, Mu-Gun wasn’t sure how much longer he could maintain it.

The Demon God could run out of energy first, but considering his capabilities, that seemed unlikely. Mu-Gun had to deploy contingencies, but there was nothing he could do.

At that moment, in the corner of his eyes, Mu-Gun saw the Dragons ascending to the sky. It seemed they had managed to recover their strength while on the ground.

Mu-Gun and the Demon God were evenly matched. If the Dragons attacked the latter and disrupted his concentration, his Demonic Dark Flame Sword would lose some of its power.

Noticing the Dragons’ presence as well, Baal’s face flushed with bewilderment. If the Dragons attacked him now, he would lose the fight.

“Cowards! Do not meddle in our fight!” the Demon God shouted at the Dragons.

- That’s not something you, of all people, should be saying. You’re trying to destroy our world!

Blaze snorted as he fired a Breath at the Demon God. The other Dragons followed suit.

Clenching his teeth, Baal covered himself in dark flames. The Breaths were erased from existence as soon as they hit him, but defending himself had caused the energy he was projecting into the Demonic Dark Flame Sword to dwindle. When his attack’s power suddenly dropped, the golden sword capitalized on its brief weakness and pierced through it.

When his technique began to crack, Baal quickly channeled all his demonic energy back to it, causing it to burn so intensely that it managed to push back the golden sword. However, the Dragons rained down Breaths on him once more, forcing him to spend some of his energy on defense again.

Despite having the same durability as the Vajra Physique, Baal still could not tank the Dragons’ Breaths head-on. Even if he did manage to survive, the impact would be far too powerful for him to handle. The shock would overpower his immense mental capacity, disrupting his concentration on the Demonic Dark Flame Sword.

Once more, Baal blocked the Dragons’ Breaths with a wave of dark flames, then put all his demonic energy into the Demonic Dark Flame Sword again before it shattered. Given the circumstances, this was the best option he could take.

However, the Dragons’ bombardment was relentless. The Demon God once again used a bit of demonic energy to block the Breaths, then focused all of it back into the Demonic Dark Flame Sword before it shattered. However, unlike the first two times, the cracks no longer regenerated. Baal had been sealing the cracks as a temporary solution, but he could not stop the Demonic Dark Flame Sword’s durability from rapidly weakening.

The golden sword penetrated through the gaps. As the cracks grew bigger, the Demonic Dark Flame Sword eventually shattered, its pieces scattering all over the area. The impact was projected onto the Demon God through his demonic divinity and energy.

The golden sword forced its way into the Demon God’s chest and exited from his back. It tore apart the demonic divinity that formed his body, causing him so much pain that he could not even return to his senses anyway.

Staggering back, Baal screamed. “Kugh!”

Noticing that it was not enough to eradicate Baal, Mu-Gun stabbed him with the golden sword over and over again. He aimed for his abdomen first, then his shoulders, and then his legs.

Finally, he thrust the golden sword deep into Baal’s head, shattering the latter’s demonic divinity into pieces. With his astral body severely wounded, a bit more damage would eradicate him.

Since Baal’s true body was in the Hell Realm, killing him here would not completely erase him from existence. However, it would weaken him. To prevent that from happening, he hurriedly opened the door to the Hell Realm. Although breaking through God’s boundary and invading this place from the Hell Realm was difficult and complicated, he could do the reverse through sheer will alone.

Baal tried to escape as soon as the door opened. However, divinity burst out of the golden sword and wrapped around him. He desperately tried to break free, but his resistance proved futile. The divinity turned into tens of thousands of blades and mutilated him.

- Kuarghhhhh!

Baal screamed in agony as his astral body disappeared. The blades of divinity refused to stop until they had shredded him to pieces.

After making sure that the Demon God had been eliminated from Avalon, Mu-Gun descended to the ground, exhausted. Blaze was the first to approach him.

- Are you okay?

“I’m fine. Thank you. I managed to defeat the Demon God because of you all.”

- We should be the ones thanking you. If it wasn’t for you, he would have wiped us out.

“Don’t mention it. The threat is not over yet. Although we have gotten rid of the Demon God, the demons from the Hellgates still roam these lands. Only when they, too, have been exterminated can we say that peace has truly returned to Avalon.”

- Are you telling us not to rest until we have wiped out all the demons?

“I will be with you.”

- Well, we should start now.

“Please work a little harder. We will have all the days of rest we require once we have eliminated them all.”

- How could we refuse a request from you? Enough talking. It’s time we obliterate the demons.

Blaze flew away, leading the other Dragons to battle once more. Not long after, Mu-Gun also left the Centrion Mountain Range. Their forces wiped out all the demons infesting Avalon within ten days.

Mu-Gun had accomplished his mission.
